AUDITORS WANT
A STATE BOARD
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BELIEVE
THAT THERE SHOULD Be A
TAX COMMISSION,

newly organized OOunty OOLuulS-
sioners' association Of North pa-
kota, which has been in session
here two days, adjourned last
evening. Bismarck was selected
As the next meeting place, and the
date is Feb 2, 1909, at which time
the state legislature will be in
session. Last evening the associ-
alton adopted resolutions as fol-
lows:
Whereas, this organization of,
individual members of the differ
ent boards of county commission
ers of the state of North Dakota,
believing in a strictly representa-
tive government of, by and for
the people, are fully agreed that
an annual meeting for a confer
ence upon the subjects of mutual
interest to the different counties
of the state will be of incalculable
benefit, and, whereas the subject
of proper assessing and equalizing
of assessments is deemed. by this
organization to be the most press
ing need, therefore be it resolved,
That our present general system
is sufficient, further, that the
principle of the assessment of
property at the true and full val
ue as now contained in our stat
utes, is correct. But that the
general revenue and tax laws as
they now stand should be revised
and amended, especially those acts
whereby there is established a
fixed levy for certain purposes;
also that schedules for the fixing
of country officers salaries should
be adjusted; and further, that We
as true citizens of the state, be-
lieve that all laws should be en-
forced as they stand. Be it fur
ther resolved,
That we believe that a more
equitable, just and true assess
ment under any system could be
better secured by some direct su-
pervision and execution of laws
enacted, by having a state tax
commission, and we would recon-
mend the establishment of state
tax board of three members, to
administer all laws for the collec-
tion of state revenues and to make
such recommendation upon the
general subject of taxation as
their investigation and experience
may from time to time suggest.
We further resolve that a certain
responsibility for the inequality
of taxes falls upon the individual
taxpayer through lack of attention
at proper time, and that to cor
rect this evil we are of the opin-
ion that no petition for abatement
of taxes containing nothing more
than mere equalization of val
ues, should be considered by any
board or commissioner after they
adjourn as a board of equalization

Solicitor N. A. Sinclair returned
lastnightfrom SavanahGa. where
he went to attend the funeral OF
his aunt, Mrs. Mary Mcneil. On
the train with Mr.. Sinclair was
Secretary of War VIM. H. Taft,
leading Republican candidate for
the Presidency, and three at
PENDANTS, two white men and a
negro.
The Secretary Of War and par
ty boarded the train at Charles
ton, having returned from a trip
to Panama. The Secretary order
ed four covers laid on the table,
for dinner, and, on account Ct
the great bulk of the Secretary
the table which is intended to
seat four people, had to be extend
ed. When the great man and
his three companions appeared in
the dining car and were prepar-
ing to take their seats, the con-
ductor came on the scene and in
formed Mr.. Taft that in South
Carolina colored men had to wait
until after all the whites haC
eaten, and despite the Secretary'S
protest, his negro companion haC
to retire.
Taft is certainly bidding high
for the negro vote, and we won

our support to gain your vantage

and use it against US. Is that
fair to your friends who happen
also to be friends of either Mr.
Kitchin or Mr.. Horne?
But you say, Senator, that you
would hold your tongue" in
this contest but for the assaults"
upon you and Mr.. Craig. Let us
see: Were you not actively sup |
porting Mr.. Craig long before it
occurred to anyone to criticise
you? Are not tn" assaults" upon
you, which you say lie 'un
paralleled', the direct and
natural result of your "unpar-
aIleled" interference from Wash
ington in a contest here at
home between Democrats? You
say that early in the contest
you declared for Mr.. Craig:
did your colleague, Senator Over
man, declare early or at all for
either. Did ever before a Sen
ator from North Carolina
declare" for one Democrat
against another in such a contest?
And before you declared" for
Mr.. Craig did you not write, or
cause to be writ ten, a letter tC
him, or to another, encouraging
him to run, and pledging your
, support? And did not your sec
rotary, about a year ago, with
your consent and approval, make
,. a visit to Mecklenburg and other
counties, and let it be known
+ that you were for Mr.. Craig
No assaults" had then beer
made on you. But you say tina

Is Certainly you did not advocat

you when you stood for re-elec
