Where Mr.. Dunn Might Have
Bluffed.

Here is sample Of the defense emit
cred by Auditor Iverson to the timber
permit reports of the public examiner.
. The record shows a settlement for
100000 feet of timber cut on section
36-57-22. In 1895 Cruiser Dedon re-
ported that 100000 feet had been cut,
and the public examiner wants to know
why the purchaser Of the timber was
not held for the full amount.
In reply the circular issued in de-
Tense Of Mr.. Dunn, and headed "John-
son 3 Falsehood,'' says:
State Auditor Iverson certifies that the
timber on this section was sold In 1880,
that something over 5000, 900 feet were
paid for, and that the records in the state
land office show that Cruiser Dedon, in
1895, reported that the section had been
burned over, and as the tops were burned
clean, it was not possible to definitely as
certain how much timber had been cut
from the section, but that it appeared as
tho more timber had been cut than had
been reported by the surveyor general.
What was the state collecting for,
tops and limbs9 It is customary in
cases where the timber has disappeared
to scale from the stumps only. This
sort of scale was accepted as competent
evidence in the recent government case
at Fergus Falls. The stumps were not
burned, and in fact Dedon s report gives
the, bark mark Of the logs, so the fire
could not have been very disastrous. 1t
was perfectly feasible to: scale from the
stump and collect for the entire amount

men in the council who appear to be of
different mind. You can find their names

the state valuation becomes the basis
of the local assessment, and, therefore,
imposes upon the special interests con

they, should bear in local taxation, that
they most seriously object. 1t is not
what these interests pay to the state,

against inequalities Of this kind in that
it would be matter Of no concern to
the state whether certain interests were
undervalued or overvalued. The adj

in the hands Of the local assessing
powers, and the state would simply ask
for its proportion of the total revenue
raised, no matter from what sources.

limit for that class hereafter Will be
$4,000, $1,000 of which can be assumed

Another important change is the ex-

in a business way than ever before,

ought to be placed under the civil SER
