Change II Highly De-
Hirn bic.

PIERRE, 5. D.. Nov. Especial THE
letter Of transmittal accompanying the
annual report Of State Auditor Halliday
deals almost exclusively with the matter
/ of assessment and taxation. He takes the
position that the legislation of two years
ago hel2ed some in the matter of assess
ments, but that the property of the state
will never all bo properly put upon the
tax roll until there is "a radical change in
the assessment laws Of the state. But re-
| gardless Of the loose methods of assess
ment, he says THE total assessed valua-
ton of the state four years ago, as left by
the state Board of Equalization and AS
sessment, was S1sG53l.3Sl. This year the
aggregate is 1929. 426. 469, a gain in round
numbers Of &35, 10000 or an average Of nearly
! 80 10000 per annum. The increase in the
future will be at a much greater ratio.
Nearly 1000 miles Of new railroad will be
added TO the railway mileage of the state
! this year. A large section of the state is
being opened up to settlement ard these
lands VIII soon be listed for taxation.
Thousands of new people are fiocking into
! the state. bringing with them new wealth
and preparing to produce additional wealth.
/ with a few amendments TO the tax laws
and a strict enforcement of those already
on the statute books the question of pro-
ducing revenues with which to carry on
the business of the state will practically
take care of itself"
