pop PREvARlCATlON.
Figures from the Records Showing Conclu.
siveiy that the Valuations were Higher
Under the Populists.

The fusion campaign managers are at
tempting to deceive the farmers of the
state with the loudly reiterated state.
ments that the last republican state
board of equalization made large increas-
.es in the value of lands and personal
property, and that as result of this ac-
tion the taxes of the farmers throughout
the state will be largely increased. Fig
ures are quoted showing the percentage
of increase on property fixed by the
board and voters are urged to vote the
fusion ticket, as one that will decrease
assessments and taxes. 49,.
The action of the state board of equali-
zation in making increase and decrease
of values was taken to equalize values of
property through the state, as is required
by law. The increases and decreases
were not from the values of previous
years-not such increases as would in
crease or decrease the taxes of the farm
ers over previous years-but were mere
ly changes from the returns of county
boards of equalization and assessors, in
order that taxation might be fair over
the state-that farmers in one county
should not pay taxes on property at a
high valuation and in another at a low
valuation, according to the ideas of coun-
ty boards of equalization. The injustice
of this would be apparent. One county
board of equalization might put property
at an excessively low figure in order to
relieve the taxpayers of that county, and
the same property in another county
might be valued twice the amount, the
taxes being manifestly unfair and dispro-
portionate 1t is to prevent this that the
state BE- q of equalization is empowered
to adjust property values. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that the increase in val
ues over county returns in any one year
may be, and in case Of the republican
administrations, frequently is, an abso-
Lutte decrease over the values of the same
property in previous years.
But since the populists and democrats
have seen fit to call attention to this SUBJ
ject, the comparative records of the fu-
sionists and of the republicans in the
valuation of property for the purposes of
assessment should settle the matter, and,
by the argument of the fusionists them
selves, should determine which of the
parties should receive the vote of the
taxpayers.
For example, in Stark county, under
the fusion administration Of 1894, taxpay-
ers paid on land at an average value of
o4;cents an acre. Underrepublican rule,
the average value is 70 cents. In Bill
ings county, under fusion rule, the aver
age valuation was 48 cents an acre. Un,
der republican rule, the average value is
go cents an acre.
In Cass county, under fusion adminis-
tration, taxpayers paid on land at an av-
erage value of s6.75 an acre. Under re-
publican rule, the average value is $500
an acre, decrease of 50 cents an acre.
In Grand Forks county the fusion ad.
ministration valued land for purposes Of
assessment at s6.22 an acre. The..repub-

Judge Young's Residence.

A reporter of The Forum called upon
Colonel Robinson as to the report of
Judge Young's residence and the follow
ing authorized statement is given out:
The attention of the republican state
central committee has been called to
published reports that Judge Young, re-
publican candidate for supreme Judge,
was at the time OF his nomination and
appointment, a resident and practicing
attorney of Minneapolis. The report is
absolutely without foundation and is an
insinuation so palpably false that the
people of Pembina county, Mr.. Young's
home, without regard to party, have sent
to this committee fiat and sworn contra
dictions testifying to his continuous resi-
dence and practice in Pembina county
since 1887 and up to his appointment.
Among those contradicting these reports
and demanding fair play are: Hon.
Peter Canierson, ex-railroad commits
sioner; F. c. Myrick, chairman and H. p.
Often, members of the board of county
commissioners, Hon. Alex. Duncan,
member and candidate for the legisla-
ture of the First District; Hon. w. ].
Louden, chairman independent county
central committee; F. w. Reynolds,
chairman Bathgate independent and
democratic committee, Hon P. c. Dono-
van, member of territorial council; Hon.
P. ]. Hongan, member of legislature,
1894; w. T. Rene, candidate for clerk of
court; w. Douglas, county treasurer; w.
]. Bridge, deputy auditor and ex-auditor;
F.A. Hart, clerk of district court; A. M.
O'Connor, collector of customs; G.. w.
Ryan and hosts of other we'll known de-
mocrats. 1t is needless to say that re-
'publicans, as we'll have sent in their
vigorous denials of the report including
the county and precinct committees of
his county bearing such we'll known
names as Hon. W.. Kneeshaw, Hon. J.
T. Blackjack, Hon. Judson LaMoure,
Grant S: Hager, H. ]. Watt, H. L
Holmes. This committee has the proof
positive that Judge Young never was
practicing attorney in Minneapolis.
The simple facts are these: Judge
Young has had his residence and home
at Bathgate since 1857 where, without
interruption, he practiced his profession
up to the time of his appointment, and
has an Office at no other point. At
different times his family or part of
them have been elsewhere for climatic
reasons, for medical treatment or other
reasons which would appeal to the head
of family having regard for their we'll
fare. During the winter of 1892 they
were in Iowa. In 1893 in Minneapolis
and 1893 Mrs. Young has been portion
of the time in Minneapolis with her
mother, where one of their children has
been having the benefit of kindergarten
training and the other two children of
the public schools. In addition to visit
ing his wife and children at Minneapolis
from time to time Judge Young submit
ted to painful surgical operation which
his presence from time to time
for treatment resulting in his com
plete recovery. During this time and
on February last his, Office and also,
portion of his library at Bathgate burned.

TAX ON FOREIGN CONCERNS
Federal Supreme Court Afirms a New
York Law.


York Law.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The United
States supreme court has announced its
decision sustaining the constitutionality
of that feature of the tax laws Of New
York which lays tax on foreign corpo-
rations doing business in the state ac-
cording to the capital employed. The
case was instituted against James A.
Roberts. comptroller of the State of
New York, to test the law and to vacate
an assessment made on the capital of q
large Western drug house having
branch in New York city. The lower
court sustained the validity or the law,
and the supreme court now affirms this
decision. Judge Shiras in announcing
the courts opinion said the law was set
tied that state may impose such condi-
tions for permitting foreign corpora
tion to do business within its limits as
it may Judge expedient, and that it may
make. the grant dependent upon the
payment of a specific license tax, or
sum proportioned to the amount of its
capital used within the state. This was
not, the court held, discrimination
against the products Of outside states.
