REPORT WAS FAR FETCHED.
Other Side of Fisher School Row is
Given.

Crookston Journal: There is al
ways two sides to every story and
there seems to be a very prominent
other side to the Fisher school row
story. 1t appears that the informant
CT the Journal although supposed to
be perfectly reliable was somewhat
prejudiced and told only one side of
the story. While there has been some
little trouble in the schools of that
place land while there was some
foundation for the story of the hanging
in effigy it is said that the teachers
who left, did not leave because of a
dislike to the professor but because
they were offered better positions else
where. 1t is also said that fully rs
per cent Of the people of that village
are in favor of Professor Miles and
that they are behind him as we'll as
the entire school board. The position
of principal is a very hard one to fill
and it, seems impossible to please
everybody.

W AS.
DOING
County Auditor Hoffard Reports That
the State Meeting Of Auditors Was
Not Very Instractiyo-Little Of I'm.
portance Was Done at Sessions.

In speaking of the meeting Of the
county auditors last week in st. Paul,
County Auditor Hoffard said in dis
cussing the matter:
ut is simply question of time
when uniform basis of valuations
in the various counties of the state,
upon which the assessments are based.
will be effected. The state board Of
equalization is very desirious for some
such move, as it would lessen the
work of the board materially and in
addition would be more satisfactory
in many ways.
"a majority of the auditors present
favored the assessment of property at
its full value, though it was realized
that under the tax laws as they now
stand such a plan would not be FEAST
BILE. One of the objections raised
against such action now is that the
county board under the levies made
could screw taxes up to almost any
desired point If they so desired. The
state levies which are also fixed would
alone make it impossible to assess
property at us Iull Value at the pres
ent time.
another feature which would meet
objection is that the salaries Of the
county auditors, which under the gem
eral laws at the present time are
$4,000, would be boosted If property
was assessed at it's full valuation to
$4,000 in many instances.
1.-THE sentiment was very general
that nothing radical should be done
until the people had voted upon the
open door" policy of taxation. While
the conference was of an informal
character, and while more could have
been accomplished for the betterment
of the method of making assessments
the coming year, still the meeting will
result in much good and the fruit will
be seen in the years to come"

and guilty of certain offenses for the
