CONCERT
One VIII BE Given at the Operahouss
Tomorrow Night to Raise Funds
for Building.

There was great rejoicing at Y. M.
c. A. new building headquarters toT
day. Small subscriptions were rolling
in faster than any day since the $ao,-
600 campaign started. Parents of
students were realizing to an appreci-
able extent the value of the Y M. G.
"A. Manager Alsop Of the Interior
Lumber Co, reported the receipt Of
$Ioo from coal companies. Mr.. Sweet
land also reported number of checks
from Moorfead.
Inspired by remarks made in his
morning sermon at Gethsenane CATH
edral yesterday, by Dean Burleson
who spoke withmarked plainness in an
appeal he made for the Y. NJ. G. Al.
building fund, Mr.. and Mrs. E. r.
Orchard, later in the day, conceived
the idea Of grand concert at the OPP
erahouse to be participated in by the
musicians of Fargo After confer-
ences it was decided that the concert
be given at the operahouse tomorrow
night and that the gross proceeds be
given to the y. M. G.. Al. building fund.
In such capable hands the programme
Iis sure to be an attractive one. The
Messrs. Walker Bros. say that if 5000
worth of tickets are sold there will be
no charge for the operahouse. The
sale of tickets was actively in progress
this afternoon. They are ST. each and
for such cause there ought not to be
single refusal. The incidental ex-
penses for the concert will be met BY
friends Of the Y /. NJ. G.. Al.
This commendable show Of interest
and enterprise on the part of the music
people Of the city ought TO be an in
spiration for others who ought to real
ize that there is yet considerable hust-
ling to be done before the committee
can make good on the last day Of the

the magnificent gain in taxable
property in the state will be accepted
by many as an invitation to devise new
methods for expenditure. The form
may be an insidiOus encroachment or
an organized raid for an alleged patri-

rate of levy should decrease. Any
excess, after rigid economy in the

sounds word of warning about reduc-
ing the tax levy and insists that the
greatest advertisement to the state is
equal taxation and economy in public
affairs. The letter follows:
Sufficient data has been received to
warrant us in saying that the valua-
tions of this years assessments, as re-
turned by the several assessors, will be
in the neighborhood of 30 per cent. in
excess of that of last year.
SIN past years ostensibly the assess
ment has been the full value of all
property, but in reality ranging from d
nominal value to s. per cent. of actual
value. Different classes of property in
many counties were assessed on diff
ferent valuation, while but few counties
observed the same general basis of val
uation.
This board realized that an effort 10
get full values at this time-even If 1t
was deemed advise ble-would prove
abortiye and took the responsibility OF
assessing all property at 60 per cent of
its true value.
I'm acquiring this large gain it will
be noticeable to you that there will be

heretofore escaped the assessment rolls,
and in many instances values have
been reduced.
The assessors throughout the state
have worked diligently and conscien-
tiously without fear or favor of any
class. The herculean task of review
ing, in very limited time, all the
valuations is now up to Your honorable
board
That mistakes of judgement on the
part of this commission and the assess
ors have not been made cannot be hop
ed for. Every presumption is, how
ever, in favor of the assessors return.

deputies have been subjected to analy-
