CORRECTING
ASSESSMENTS
Town and Village Boards Of
Equalization to Meet
June rs.

One of the most important
meetings held throughout the
state during the year will be the
meetings of the boards Of equali-
zation in each town, village or
city, on Monday, June rs.
The purpose of this meeting
is to equalize the individual as
sessments; perhaps you are as
sessed too high on some prop.
|erty; or it may be that your
neighbor is assessed too low. It
is at this time and this time only
that such corrections can be
made.
At each session of the board
of county commissioners a large
number of petitions for abate-
ment of taxes are brought be-
fore them, and in most cases all
this trouble can be saved ey the
appearance of the party before
the equalization board to see that
he is properly assessed.
OF course in the newer coun-
ties this cannot be strictly ad-
hered to but in a number of the
older counties of the state the
commissioners have adopted a
rule not to entertain petitions for
abatement where. the parties
failed to appear before the board
of equalization.
The purpose of the county
board is not the equalization of
the Individual assessments, but
the equalization of the township
assessments. Owing to the
failure of the citizen in attending
to the matter a large amount of
this work in late years has fallen
to the county board. ...

FREE LAND IN SIBERIA.

Russian Mobiles Endorse Governments
Agrarian Programme.
st. Petersburg, June 13.-The no.
bles' congress now in session here has
practically endorsed the governments
agrarian programme, having declared
itself against the forced appropriation
of land and proposing only two meth
DDS for the relief of the peasants.
These are purchases of land through
the peasants banks and transmigra-
ton to Siberia, especially commencing
the latter and recommending the
granting of free land in Siberia and
exemption from taxes for a period of
years. The congress also endorsed
the governments proposition for
dissolution of the commune system,
where it is desired. An influential
but small minority, headed by Count
Uvaroff of Saratoff, protested against
the selfish attitude of the nobility,
urging unavailingly that the large
landlords, i they wished to escape
from utter ruin, must cede something
to the peasantry and at least consent
to the appropriation of surplus es,
tates

A Gasoline Engine.

"Only gasoline engine" is the
sigh which came from the editor
of the Halstad Reporter, when he
tried to make "that old engine
work." No one can appreciate
the words of the editor of the
Reporter more that an editor
who has been in a similar pre-
dicament. The statement in his
paper was mild and you will ap-
preciate the situation still more
when we tell you the editor of
the Reporter is temperate and
mild, which makes the affection
still harder to bear. The sweat
rolled off his grimy brow as he
tried again and again to make
go.

no i'll feeling among any of the
teams of this association, but
this year there is a determine
ton to make the contests in
record time, if possible.
With this end in view, the Cass
Lake people have prepared a

ones. Entered in the races are
the Park Rapids, Bemidji,
Eveleth, Virginia and Ely teams,
the memb ers of which are &C.

There will be a fair field, with

the tournament will see some of
the best racing ever participated
in by members of fire depart

ger Barker, of the ball team,

dead by the prison doctor at 1918.
Three applications of the current were

all the wrongs have ever done in my
past life. forgive everybody who has
wronged me. l am at peace with my
Maker. May God have mercy on my
soul"
Tucker steadfastly maintained his
innocence of the crime for which he

dence against him was wholly circum-
stantial and the case was bitterly
fought, having been taken to the Unit.

Pekin, June 13.-China is in bad
financial straits. The expenses of the
government are multiplying without
any increasing revenues. The pay Of

been increased by the disfavor Of
