without amending it's constitution is
practically wasted. You are TIED
down to q theory abandoned every
where else in the world, and proven
here in the United States by over a
century Of experience to be the most
debauching, oppressive and stupid
theory that was ever devised. The
constitution Of Ohio declares that all
real and personal property shall be
taxed by a uniform rule at it's true
value in money. 1t provides rule
which is utterly and absolutely i'm
possible to enforce, and which If it
could be enforced, would produce
the most abominable injustice ever
perpetrated."
Minnesota has at last amended her
constitution. 1t took six years OF
hard campaigning. Lawson Purdy
says regarding Minnesota, "The ex-
perience of Minnesota during the last
five years is full Of both warning and
encouragement to the state of Ohio.
Until the election of 1906 the state
of Minnesota was cursed with con-
stitution copied from that OF Ohio
and Illinois. Then the following
simple provision was adopted: Inc
power of taxation shall never be SUR
rendered, suspended, or contracted
away. Taxes shall be uniform upon
the same class of subjects, and shall
be levied and collected for public
purposes"
This amendment, gentlemen, is
what we need in North Dakota, and
for the same reason that Ohio and
Minnesota need it. We must CLASSIFY
property and deal with each class
in just, sane and successful way.
Let us treat mortgages in one way,
corporations another way, and land
yet another way, if need be. But by
all means let us have our hands I'M
tied so that we may deal in the prop
er manner with each class OF prop
/ erty.
i. Let us get rid of our local as
SCISSOR.
2. Let us amend our state consti-
| tuition.
These two steps commend to your
serious attention.

PROTEST AGAINST PRESENT
=: N. D. ASSESSMENT METHODS
ADDRESS BEFORE STATE ISOLATION SHOWS WHERE
sEssMENT METHODS SUGGESTS SOME CURES
81 $50 Twenty US is TOO LITTLE MONEY AND
TIME cURATE WORK.

In a recent address before the state
bar association, Prof. J. E. Boyle, of
Grand Forks, set forth his views Of
the duty of the lawyers of the state
with respect to the Improvement of
our present system of assessment and
taxation. Prof. Boyle sets forth the
growing demands of the state and it's
subdivisions for funds from taxation
and comments upon the machinery
as at present constituted. The latter
part Of his address, which embodies
his suggestions for the reform of our
tax system, is appended hereto, and
should serve to arouse profitable dis
cussion of the whole subject.
"Here is a local man elected for a
very short term and at very small
pay. He may earn $50 a year and
no more. This is no way to get ex-
pert service, yet man who can cor
rectly assess the common forms of
property in his district must be an
expert in values AS rule a man
who by long dealing in real estate
becomes an authority on land val
ues in his region, would not be look
ed up to as a good Judge of the value
Of a horse or COW. Yet, the assess
or must list and value % classes of
property, and each class at it's sac
tual value in money" He will never
learn to do this by working at it
20 days a year at $500 a day
The assessors meet in the spring
with the county auditor, to get their
blank books and to discuss the law
and their duties. Here, as a rule,
they decide whether to assess at 100
per cent Of full value, as the law re-
quires, or at so per cent or at rs
per cent. At meeting Of this kind
which I attended in this state, the
motion was made and carried unan-
imously that structures on farms be
assessed at five per cent of their
value. The county auditor furnishes
the blank books, also copies of the
last years assessment record. And
there are cases known where the
local assessor took this last years
record, and sat down in his own
chimney corner and copied it word
for word, barring the frequent mis-
takes in spelling and transcription
Of figures which he made.
AS to the town board Of review,
this is a mere joke as far as curing
real defects go. Few people ever ap-
pear before this board to complain.
Look at the minutes on file in any
court house. Few changes are made
unasked. The county board makes
horizontal increases or decreases,
accentuating rather than curing de-
feet between individuals. The state
board is physically unable to DO
more than crudely and roughly
smooth out some Of the worst In
euualities between different counties.
This board has the ardous duty OF
assessing, from data on tile,> every
railroad, express, street car and tel
ephone company in the state. II you
will pause and think of the hundreds
of local telephone lines with their
thousands of miles Of wire and
thousands of instruments, you Will
appreciate some of the work done

BROWN A REPUBLICAN.
Appointed to Board Of Appeals From
Benson County.

The article in the Tribune yester-
day morning regarding the appoint
ments made by Governor Burke to the
board of appeals in Minnesota, was
worded to the effect that both app o'n-
tees were Democrats when such was
not the case, as Mr.. Brown from Ben
son county is Republican and has
been identified with that party since
he has lived in the state.

gov. BURKE TAKES
Hand IN THE MATTER
APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO GET
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR SILVER
SERVICE.
Appoints Prominent Men on the so
tici+ino Committee - Matter Must
Be Finished Up Quickly.

Governor Burke yesterday address
ed a letter to the people of the state
of North Dakota calling their atten'
ton to the fact that it would be mt
ting thing for the people to present
the battleship North Dakota with sill
yer service. The plan is to have the
money raised by popular subscription
and to let everyone have hand in the
affair. The governors letter Is as
follows:
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 27.
To the People of the State OF North
Dakota:
Sometime ago our state was honor
ed by having one Of the United States
battleships named for her. It is the
custom for each state for which
battleship is named to present the
ship with silver service. Our legls-
1ature cannot, under the constitution,
appropriate money for the purpose;
hut 7 am sure the patriotic people OF
the state of North Dakota desire to
follow the general custom in SUCH
cases, and that they are willing to
raise the amount necessary to ur-
chase the silver service by public
subscriptions. The battleship will be
finished and ready for commission
about January of next year, and the
presentation should be-, made at or
about the time the ship goes into COM
mission.
For the purpose of organizing the
state in connection with the raising
of the necessary fund, have appoint
ed a committee of prominent citizens
who are authorized to select the de-
sign and collect the funds necessary
to purchase a suitable silver service
for the battleship North Dakota. This
is a matter of state wide interest and
state pride, and l have tried to select
the committee accordingly. The CON-
mittee is as follows:
Hon. e. Y. Sarles, Hillsboro.
Hon. Frank White, Valley City.
Hon. Roger Allen, Park River.
Hon. w. A. Scott, Fargo.
Hon. Geo. Winship, Grand Forks.
Hon. Martin Jacobson, Minot.
= Hon. John Bruegger, Williston.
g. Hon. r. l.. Thompson. cando.
Hon. Frank Lish, Dickinson.
The committee is respectfully re-
quested to proceed and carry forward
this work as promptly as possible,
adopting such plans in the prosecu-
ton of the undertaking as may sug'
gest themselves to the members. I
recommend, however, the discourage
ment Of large individual contributions
until all the people CT the state have
had an opportunity to contribute a
little something to this fund.
. IN JOHN BURKE,

Twenty.Eisht Years on Santa Fe.

Colostin J. Davis, tool room man
at the Santa Fe shops in Newton
Kan. retired from the service on
July /. and will hereafter be carried
on the pension list OF the Santa Fe.
The record OF Mr.. Davis Is one that
few can equal and certainly none
can excel He was born In Riply
Somerset county, Maine. on June IL.
is43. and entered the service OF the
Santa Fe at Nickerson, Kan. on
February q. 1851. as wiper He was
promoted TO boilerwasher. in which
capacity he served for thirteen years
worked two years and nine months
in the blacksmith shop. hostlered for
six years and Nr the last six years
has been employed in the tool room.
With the exception OF the time he
was employed in the blacksmith
shop. his work has required him 10
work seven days out OF the week
and for one period OF time extending
over five years he was not absent
a minute from duty. During his en-
tire term of service with the company
twenty-eight years, he has never lost
any time on account OF bieng late in
the morning.
1t is doubtful II there Is another
employe with the Santa Fe or any
other company who has such cred
table record. Aside from the Ions
term of unbroken service. Mr.. Davis
has to his credit the small amount OF
time lost from iayoffs, and the clock
work precision with which he has
reported for his daily duties.
Mr. Davis services have always
been Of such nature as to receive
the highest appreciation of his super
iors, and he can now retire knowing
that the company he has served SO
long and so faithfully has appreciat
ed his efforts at least to some ex
tent. and ne can now enjoy life
Of ease, continuing to draw pay
check each month as long as he sur
