TIMELY TOPICS.

In territorial days it was customary
for the territorial officers to allow counties
such ATTACHMENTS, refundments and can
collation. of taxes as the various boards
of county commissioner saw fit to allow.
There was no law for it, simply a time
honored precedent. The present admin
istration will not accept this territorial
inheritance, and the auditor has issued
a circular to county auditors calling
their attention to a recent opinion of the
attorney general on the subject, in which
he says that county commissioners have
no authority in law whatever to abate,
cancel or refund a tax when once levied.
Their only authority or control over the
assessment or collection of taxes is that
when sitting as a board of equalization
they may correct the assessment. When
their duties as such board have been
completed and the assessment rolls
placed in the hands of the county audi
tor and the taxes levied and extended,
there is no power to stay the collection
of such taxes, penalties and interest ex-
cept in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The only attachments or cancellations
that will be allowed on taxes levied for
1890 or subsequent years, will be those
ordered by the court or under the pro-
visions of section Sc, chapter 1872 of the
laws of 1890. The state auditor also
holds that 5000 exemption, provided in
the 18th subdivision of the 1891 amend
ment to section 5 of the laws of 1890 will
be operative this year-after July LIST,
and the 5000 mentioned will be exempt,
and should be deducted after such as
sessment has been reviewed by the town
board of review, the village board or city
council Gas the case may beg and equa-
lized by the county board of equaliza-
tiOn.

The supreme court of the United
States meets on Monday next. to an
nounce decisions, after which it will ad-
journ to the October term. More cases
have been disposed of during this term
than any other term in the history of the
court, the number already being $50, and
the decisions to be handed down Monday
will probably increase this to 600. The
organization of the new intermediate ap-
pellate courts is expected to relieve the
supreme court of two-thirds of its work
and thus allow it to reach cases pending
for several years.

Gerowe Not Guilty.

The examination of Mr.. George E. Ge-
rowe, superintendent of the Fort Steven
son Indian school, was continued before
United States Commissioner E. S. Allen
Saturday until O'clock p. M, when he
was discharged and released from custody.
There were four separate and distinct
complaints or informations laid against
Mr.. Gerowe by the complaining witness,
John 7. Lindeleaf OF Ingersoll, Mclean
county. Mr.. Lindeleaf was the Instructor
in the art OF shoemaking at the Stevenson
school, until about March first 1891. when
he was discharged by the defendant from
the service. The first complaint was
for paying to one A. II. Simpson, teacher
at the agency, fifty dollars as salary for
the month of June, 1890, MIR. Simpson hav-
ing left the fort on the Sd day Of June.
Mr.. GerOWe obtained a leave of absence
for Mr.. Simpson, which made the disburse-
ment of the money lawful. The fact that
a leave of absence was granted was not
known to the complaining witness, hence
the charge OF embeZzlement.
The second charge vas for embezz,ing
a barrel Of syrup. This property was not
on the returns or receipts and Mr.. Ge-
owe was not responsible for the same as
far as the government was concerned. The
evidence disclosed The fact that he issued
the same to the Indian children without
making any return or report to the interior
department. The complaining witness
attempted to Show that the syrup was con
verted to the use of the defendant. On
this point there was an entire failure of
proof. The charge stated the emhezZl,-

The supreme court of the United
States has shown that there is a way to
tax the various transportation companies
of the country, such as the Pullman car
company, the telegraph lines, express
routes, etc. North Dakota is like many
other states in this regard-been for
years trying to enact a constitutional
requirement for a revenue system that
would be successful in making these
wealthy institutions pay their proper
ton of the public burden, the same as
a common citizen. So far every effort
has been abortive and the corporations
politely but firmly inform the taxing
Ulcers of the state to go hence, or words
to that effect. The present statutes of
the state provide for a license of 500 on
each sleeping car and that express COM
panies pay a certain sum for every office
opened by them. The federal supreme
court has inyariable decided that such
we're restrictions on interstate commerce,
md hence null and void. But now
comes a decision on the validity of the
law of Pennsylvania that would seem to
ooint out the way of salvation. This
case was whether the state law of Penn
sylvania was good, which provides that
the Pullman company could be taxed on
their capital stock in proportion as the
mileage of Pennsylvania was to the to-
tai mileage covered by the company.
The court of highest resort says it is;
that it is not against interstate COM
merce, but an equitable method Of max
ing the Pullmans pay their proportion
of taxes. We predict that the next leg
islature will take this matter up and
enact a similar statute. Exacting as the
Pullman company does, the highest
rates for service in the country, those
travellers who have groaned under the
outrageous charges for SO long will
gladly hail the chance to see them reim-
burse the state somewhat for the dollars
they have dragged out of its citizens.

NOTICE.

To the Magistrates of Forsyth
county: You all know that our
taxes are higher now perhaps than
they have ever been, altogether too
high, with an upward tendency, and
you know too that there is too much
extravaganza with our finances in
building bridges, buying rock crush
ers, court house pictures, etc. Now
l ask you to look at your old tax
receipts. 1t is OF record at the court
house where the assessed valuation
was one-tenth of one per cent. and
the Poll 30 cents. Now you have
the power to correct these evils and
reduce our taxes. I hope you will
meet me in Winston at the court
house, on Saturday, May 1G, 1891,
at l o'clock p. M, to discuss mat
tiers of interest. Respectfully,
S. A. HAUsER.
