After revising, figuring, estimating
and equalizing the state board Of
| equalization finally completed the
task of fixing the appraisement of real
estate for North Dakota and when the
figures are studied it will be seen
that the ,appraisement is probably as
just and equitable as it is possible to
make it, In arriving at this conclu'
sion the board took into account the
local conditions and each member
conscientiously aimed to do exactly
the right thing. There is not likely to
be any adverse criticism of the board
action. There is certain amount of
money to be raised in North Dakota
by taxation and it is the aim and pur-
pose of the officers to have the burden
rest equally upon all property. If any
injustice has been done, the county
officers are to blame, for the state
board cannot 60 back of the abstracts
brought to it by the county boards.
The practice of the local apprais-
ing officers neglecting their full duty
with the belief that the state board
of equalization will correct the errors
and right the wrongs is wantom
Sinking of responsibility and dan
gerous practice. The state board,
while it has a general knowledge Of
conditions in sthe different counties
cannot know as we'll as the residents
in the different counties who have to
deal with familiar circumstances.
Since the figures that were printed
yesterday, the board has made some
changes which change the totals on
the real estate assessments.
The number of acres of lands as
sessed for taxation in 1910 were 3d.
1894, 240. In 1911 the number of acres
returned are 35,560,201.
The acreage value for taxation in
1910 was $4.26 per acre while in 1911
it is $432 per acre.
The total value Of real estate in
1910 was $146,654,622 while in 1911 it
is $153, 74S,S52.
The amount returned by the county
boards for 1911 was $182.181 ia.
This was increased by the state board
$11,9S9,187.
The total amount fixed for taxation
on real estate in 1910 by the state
board was $184,589,9S9.

OLSON Wants, The
CAPITOL GROUNDS
THINKS LANDSCAPE GARDENER
EMPLOYED TO WORK OUT
BEAUTY SCHEME.
State Treasurer Has Comprehensive
Plan Of Improvement Outlined -
Will Work With Board.

State Treasurer Gunder Olson is not
satisfied with the condition of the
capitol grounds and he is moving in
an effort to secure the services of a
professional gardener to lay out the
beautiful land in a manner and style
more attractive to the eye.
1t cannot be denied that with all
the labor expended on the grounds
for a period covering more than 20
years there is little to show for it in
the way of beauty spots. T.,
Treasurer Olson has an eye for the
beautiful and the unsightly grounds
offended his artistic senses. While he
can act in the matter only as citi-
zen of the state, it will be his aim to
secure the cooperation of the board
having the grounds in charge to bring
about the changes he thinks should be
made.
He would shield the power station
with shade trees, have flower beds
laid out, more trees and shrubs
planted and graveled walks leading to
secluded bowers and shady retreats.
Easy rustic seats would appear at
convenient intervals and playing foun.
tains would shed their silvery spray
over velvety grass plots.
Mr.. Olson does not hope to accom-.
plish much this year but he will press
his efforts next spring as soon as the
snow leaves the ground with the full
belief that with the same expenditure
OF money and muscle much better re-
suits will be obtained.
1T is not doing the state justice to
maintain this unimproved ground
when a little effort exerted in the
right direction would do so much in
impressing visitors that North Da
kota is something more than an un.
broken PRAIRIE" said Mr.. Olson, in
discussing the matter yesterday. 1--WE
have the grounds and its natural
adaptability could not be improved
upon. All we need is to improve the
opportunities which are ours"

Takes Great Interest In Expedition
eoynton at One Time Controlled
Over Million and Hail Acres.

c. N. Boynton, the we'll known land
man of st. Paul, while in the city
yesterday paid Commissioner of Agri'
culture visit at the state house. Mr.,
Boynton is greatly interested in the
North Dakota Industrial Exposition
and as an evidence of his. concern he
has donated twelve valuable trophy
cups to be awarded as premiums for
the best ten ears of corn. The coun-
ties eligible to this contest are Bur-
leigh, Emmons, Kidder, Logan, Nc
Intosh and Stutsman. There will be
two prize cups for each county, first
and second premiums. The first pre-
MUM cups are valued at SIS and the
second at SIS.
Mr.. Boynton is heavy land owner
in each of the counties named and his
aim is to encourage corn culture. The
gentleman at one time controlled over
100000 acres of land in North d.
kota and he has probably brought
more good settlers to the state than
any other individual. Mr.. Boynton
takes great pride in this achievement
and his faith in the state and her
people is undiminished. His full ef
forts will be exerted in aid of the
management in providing an indus
trial exhibit for the state which will
be delight to all Visitors.
Mr.. Boynton is probably as familiar
with conditions here as any of the 9TH

poets for many prosperous years.

"A new play to be produced in this
city at the Park Theatre tonight and
tomorrow and Wednesday is 1.-THE
Rosary from the pen of Edward E.
Rose The play deals with conditions
in the American home of today. To
prove this a typical American family
is shown. A young wife, a devoted
husband, their friends and all the
beautiful surroundings that wealth
can secure. The Rosary is said to be
sure of popular vogue as splendid
