An UnassailabIe Position.

Grand Forks Herald: On one point
the position of Attorney Wilkinson,
of the Great Northern, appears to be
unassailable. AS reported in his ad-
dress before the state equalization
board at Bismarck he took the posi-
ton that the state could not properly
assess railroad property at a relative
ly higher rate than that which other
property. is assessed. The constitu-
ton assumes that all property is to be
assessed at it's actual value, and If
that were done the situation would be
much simpler than it is. But aside
from the essence Of Just taxation is
that all property shall be assessed on
the same basis. Unless this is done
there can be no uniformity, no justice.
1t Is fact that railroad property IS
not assessed in this state at it's true
value. But neither is any other sort
of property. 1t has been asserted in
the past that the railroads were as.
sessed at a lower rate than any other
property, and II that is true there has
been an injustice, It seems that we.
must come to the actual value basis
sooner Or later, and the sooner the
better. 1t cannot well be done without
legislation affecting the tax rate Of
the state. and also changing the
basis of salaries of county officials,
which in most cases are based on the
assessed valuation of the property,

rRANs-MIssouR, CONGRESS.

The TRANSIT Missouri Commercial
congress, which meets at Muskogee,
in the new state of Oklahoma, Noyem-
Der 1922, has behind it a useful rec
ord covering a period of eighteen
years. AS an educational factor upon
matters for national legislation it
stands first among the quasi-public
bodies of the country, From it came
the irrigation and mining congresses.
It originated the Reclamation act, and
assisted materially in its passage.
Galveston, San Pedro, the Columbia
river and scores of other great public
improvements owe much to it's infTu-
ence. At the Colorado session of 1901
was formulated the bill for a depart
ment of commerce, which was substan-
TALLY endorsed by the National Board
of Trade and soon became a law.
Every great public measure affecting
the trans-Mississippi states has first
found utterance upon its floor Inter
nal navigation is now the active prin-
ciple advocated corrollary with the
equally important subject of a closer
commercial union with the Latin re-
publics. Both will be prominently to
the front at this session. The officers
for North Dakota of this organization
are w. N. Steele, Rolla, and W. G.
Larimore, Larimore, members of the
executive committee. Mr. Larimore is
vice president, as Is also H. F. Arnold,
of Lafimore.

pretations Of the term. In front Of
these folks homes the branches of
trees hang 50 low that a person Of low
stature must duck to escape strfk.
Ing them. In other places bushes
stick out occupying half the sidewalk.

CLARK SPENT WINTER or 1905
All DESIGNATED.
Ks With a view to adding further to the
historical records of North Dakota and
collecting interesting data among the
Indians in the western part Of the
state, Prof. o. G. Libby of the state
university, who is secretary of the
state historical society, has gone to
the site of old Fort Clark, forty miles
north of Mandan, where he will con-
fer with the Indians living near there
and with the old settlers Professor
Libby is making arrangements for the
preservation of the site of old Fort
Clark, which is directly across the
Missouri river from Fort Mandan,
where the famous explorers, Lewis and
Clark, spent the winter Of 1905. As
the site Of the fort happens to be on
school section it has not been touched
save by the hand of time and it will
| in future be one of the places of great
est historical interest in the state.
The log kept by Capt. G. J. Atkins,
one of the famous Missouri river
steamboat pilots of the early days, has
also come into the hands of Professor
Libby, and will be embodied in the
next publication of the state histori.
cal society. Captain Atkins ran his
boat from St. Louis to what is now
/ Fort Benton, Mont, during the years
/ 1863-1865, and the log which has been
secured includes a record of the vari.
GUS happenings which occurred on five
of his trips, in all of which he passed
through what is now North Dakota.
1 In those days of the Civil war, the
4 lower part of the Missouri near St
Louis, was infested with rebel bush
4 Whackers, who took POT shots at pass
ing steamboats, whenever the oppor
tunity offered, while on the upper par
| Of the river things were enlivened oy
hostile Indians, who also practicet
craftsmanship at the expense of the
voyagers, SO that a trip on the Mis-
souri, river was not merely a pleasure
exclusion, but was not lacking in dan
ger and thrills, and the record of tn,
various voyages made by the goot
captain should prove very interesting
/ reading.
| Professor Libby, who stopped il
the city last evening on his way west
stated that he proposes to talk with
number of Indians and old settler
living in the vicinity of Fort Clark ant
4 he expects to secure many more In
teresting facts and legends which viii
be published by the state historical
society. .--
