Unjust Discrimination

What have the land owners of
township 80, range IL, west, of
Medicine Lodge township done that
they should be punished, by having
to pay taxes on Is per cent more
value, as fixed by the township as
SCISSOR, than the balance of Medi-
cine Lodge township outside of the
city? The assessor tried to do his
duty and treat all alike in regard
to values, and did so to the best of
his ability, and as approved (in
most instances) by a Board of Re-
view, two as good men for that pur-
pose as could have been selected by
the county assessor, S. w. Ireland
Now, as you no doubt understand,
the deputy assessors work is all
gone over by a Board of Review,
then it Is passed up to the county
commissioners and they get a whack
at it, and by the time they get
through with it-well sometimes you
would not know it. But in this in
stance tn. equalizing of this town
ship tas l have understood) was
| left to the commissioner of this dis
trict and he commenced to equalize
the land values by cutting all Of
| township 81, range IL, also all of
] township 81, range IL Chat is in
Medicine Lodge township 25 per
cent. But all of township 80 range
IL he only cut 10 per cent. Now
where is the justice in that kind of
an equalization, providing that 1 got
an equal value on those lands COM
pared to their actual casn value as
required by law? and think that
after viewing those lands, that I am.
as competent to judge as any man
sitting in the court house and not
seeing the lands, and incidentally
owning a large body of land locat-
ed in the 25 per cent territory. Now.
to show the difference it makes in
the taxable property, 1 will cite
one property in each of these two
districts (the 25 per cent and the 10
per cent?. H. Kaiser bought his
farm about one year ago for about
SIS, 100000 Now, allowing that a
man will give more, perhaps, than a
piece of land is worth for the reason
that it is just what he Wants,just
suits him for a home, 1 assessed it at
$4,000. Now that land located in
the 25 per cent cut district, the
owner only pays on $4,000 instead
of $4,000, as valued by the assess
or. Now 1 will show how township
80, range Il, is Disseminated
against. The Gaitskill farm was
sold about year ago to a man by
the name of Coleman for about
$4,000. assessed that at $10,-
600. He being in the 10 per cent
cut district, pays taxes on $1,000
but if he had had the same cut IN
; values that H. Kaiser got, he would
have to pay taxes on only $500;
but as he only got a 10 per cent cut
he pays on 1900 more than he
should pay, if that section of the
township had not been Disseminated
against 10 per cent. Why not have
used them all alike, in the same tax
ing district, and made cut of IL
. or 25 per cent as he may have
thought necessary? The city was
left by the gentleman as the as
SCISSOR and Board of Review left it
and l am sure 1 came nearer tht
1 actual cash value on the city prop
t erty than l did on farm values. .Tha
n makes the people of Medicine Lodg'
t pay more than their share of tn
. state, county and school taxes. Be

Newspaper Space

Every line in newspaper costs
the publishers something. If it is to
benefit some Individual, he may
fairly expect to pay something.
You do not go into a grocery and
ask the proprietor to hand you OUT
ten pounds of sugar for nothing,
even though the grocer might be
personal friend and even though
the gift might not be large one.
If the beneficiary of advertising
does not pay for it, the proprietor
has to settle the bill. Nevertheless
many people cannot seem to learn
that a newspaper pays its expenses
by renting space, and that it is just
as much entitled to collect rent for
every day that space is occupied as
you are for the house you rent to a
tenant. -Governeur, N. Y, Free

RATES NOT DIFFERENT
Detroits Complaint Rejected by the
Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Denying a petition for the establish
ment Of stop privilege in wool in
Detroit, the inter- state commerce
has announced that it
has found that the present blanket
rate of SO cents hundred pounds on
wool "in the grease, applying from
Chicago, Detroit and other points to
Boston, was not unduely discrimin-
atory or unreasonable as applied to
Detroit. The stop of pri velege
sought was for the purpose of storing,
grading and re-sacking.
The commission says the western
carriers as a matter Of policy give
Omaha a certain privilege which the
eastern roads deny to Detroit, injuring
Detroit to some extent, but the COM
mission adds that it is difficult to see
how that can be remedied because the
carrying lines are not the same and
to uphold the Detroit claim would
justify or require a wide extention OF
the privilege to other points. The
commission believes that such privi.
leges should be curtained because
they are "the source and aggravating
cause of many of the most serious
complaints"

WANT EXHIBITS
FROM MONTANA
This is a Coed Chance to Advertise
the State and Her
Produce.

J. J. Hill Of the Great Northern
railroad and a number of commercial
organizations are at work to secure
some of the best possible exhibits of
the products of our soil to show at
the Western Lands Products Exhibit
to be held in Omaha January 18 to
%.
The object of the exhibit is to show
the thousands of farmers who are
determined TO move in the spring,
that instead Of going south to a
climate unknown to them or into
Canada where they become un- Americ-
ans. the best place to locate is on some
of the new lands in such states as
Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado,
and Wyoming. When Montana
makes an exhibit of her product at
such shows she does not suffer with
comparisons made with any other
state in the west, and will attract
her share of settlers If the products
are shown.
Those interested have asked the
people of Montana to write TO their
friends in the Missouri and Missis-
s;ppi river valleys to go the OMAHA ex-
hibition and see an honest represen-
tation OF our state.

CHARGE HIGHER RATE
White Sulphur Springs & Yellow
stone Railroad Will Charge Five
Cents Per Mile.

Miles City Independent: That the
new railroad, running into White
Sulphur Springs, will probably charge
five cents per mile for carrying pas
sengers, is indicated by an opinion rem
dered Wednesday by Attorney Cen
eral A. j. Galen in response to
request from the state railroad COM
missioners.
The attorney general holds that
where it Is shown that higher rate
than the maximum general rate Of
three cents per mile is reasonable, in
the case OF new roads, the railroad
commissioner has authority to approve
the higher rate. 1t is probable that
the state railroad commission, fol-
lowing the suggestion Of the attorney
general, will order public hearing
to determine whether or not five
cent rate on the White Sulphur
Springs & Yellowstone Park railroad
Is reasonable.
