BOARD FIXES VALUES
ON FARMING STOCK
Big Work Horse Is Put in
Class Ahead of Light
Broncho

The big work horse of the numbering
regions is worth more than the 1nS1g-
nif1cant broncho used on the prairie
farms Of Western Minnesota, and coun-
ties noted for the value Of their ami
mails will have to pay taxes on a larger
valuation than those rural regions
where the light general purpose horse
Is equal to the task of pulling the plow
through the sandy loam.
The state board of equalization yes
terday fixed a minimum value on the
different classes into which horses and
cattle are divided for purposes Of as
sessment. The board had previously
voted to make SO per cent Of the actual
valuation of all personal property. the
basis of the equalization, and yester-
day it decided on the following mini
mum values Of live Stock with the hope
of reaching: approximately the SO per
cent value2 t8-75}E,sgf Sn.3s7 .=lal 81
Horses, one year old, $40, two years
old. SIS; three years old, $50. Stations
were passed, except in Scott county,
where the pacing stallion Dan Patch
is assessed. Here the value Of stations
was increased 100 per cent
In cattle, yearlings were fixed at SIS
per head. and o-year-oId stock was
fixed at So. The board spent the better
part Of the day in equalizing the as
sessment on horses and cattle by coun-
ties, making the following changes:
