HUM OF BINDERS
HEARD AGAIN
THE CONTINUATION OF IDEAL
WEATHER WILL BRING
GREAT ACTIVITY.

Devils Lake. N. D., Aug. 1S.-Accord-
ing to reports from the country to-
day binders are busy again this aft
ernoon, many fields being sufficiently
dry. While there has been an excep-
tional amount of moisture during the
past few days. the ground shows a
wonderful ability to take care OF 1t
and right at the present time there is
very little standing pools In the coun-
try.
The result is that the ground is thor
oughly soaked and when it freezes
next fall it will be in ideal shape. Ser
mons on conservation of moisture,
which during the past two seasons
have been heard so frequently from
those who are putting farming on a
scientific basis are bringing results.
A few years ago, the thought of
dragging a field, after crop had
started its growth, would have been
looked upon as the height Of folly, but
conditions have changed to a great ex-

FLINT TO TALK
ABOUT DAIRYING

Burnstad, N. D., Aug. 1s.-The new
Famers' Cooperative creamery was
dedicated at this place today. The
feature of the programme this after
noon is to be an address by Dairy
Commissioner Flint.
Mr.. Flint lis a very busy official
this season. There was never time
in North Dakota when so much at
tention was given to the dairy SUBJ
Ject. The department is Hooded with
mail each day on this subject and all
indications point to the erection of
many creameries in the next year. The
agitation which has been given this
subject is encouraging the importa-
ton Of milch cows in many counties,
the higher breeds of animals are be-
ing introduced.
1t Is the general opinion that II
dairy cows were placed on the ex-
pertinent farms Of the state they
would not only yield milk and butter
sufficient to attaches, but in this man
ner the stock might be improved.
The scheme had been advanced to
place limited number OF high bred
cows on each Of the farms for breed
ing purposes, permitting the farmers
who desire to add milch COWS to their
sources of income an opportunity to
do so.
One high grade bull would be suf-
fcient to start with and the cattle
could be shifted from one farm to
another. In this manner large herds
could be built up with great pront to
the state.

BOARD STILL ON
BANK QUESTIONS
HARD MATTER TO ARRIVE AT
PROPER EQUALIZATION
OF TAXES,

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 1s.-Results
accomplished by the state board OF
equalization yesterday were not large.
Al way to equalize bank assessments
was the problem. 1t is not new. This
same vexing question comes up every
year and it will continue to arise until
some system of appraising property is
devised which will show more accur-
ateIy true conditions.
But the board has been making head
way. 1t now has list prepared show
ing the capital stock, surplus and UNI
divided profits of all the banks by
counties. This is compared with the
returns made by the county boards
and by this method some idea may be
gained of the amount charged off for
real estate. 1t is the large amount OF
real estate owned by the banks which
is so perplexlng For example; A
bank may have, as shown by its report
to the bank examiner, capital stock,
surplus and undivided profits of say
100000. The law provides reduc-
ton of per cent for bad ioans ana
losses. Deducting this, $4,000 IS lett.
From this $4,000 further deduction
of 100000 is made for real estate
claimed to be owned by the bank. This
leaves a valuation Of $4,000 to be as
sessed. Now the bankers insist that
their assessment should be as low as
that of other property owners and
thew want the $35, 900 assessed ut about
s7.75O, or at the outside $4,000, 20 or
30 per cent.
out of a total capital stock, surplus
and undivided profits of $17,565,755
in the state. the bankers show in real
estate, furniture and fixtures of So
s3s,9s7. The per cent deduction as
provided by law for bad loans and
losses takes off of the total amount So
015,735, making the total deductions
$s,354,722.
Now the question is how are the
returns to be equalized so as to not
do an Injustice to the banker making
an honest return and where no real
estate is deducted? The equalization
board is powerless to deal in individ-
ual cases. 1t must take the tax re-
turns by counties and equalize them
not as between banks but as between
counties.
One instance came to the attentlon
of a board member where bank ask
ed to deduct it's real estat holdings In
Canada.
One instance is deducted from the
bank taxables at its full value in cash
and when appraised for taxation as
real estate it goes in at an appraise-
ment of % per cent or less. This the
bank representatives do not deny. 1t
has been claimed and dismissed as a
Dixie before the board that real es-
tate is sometimes borrowed by bank
ers for taxation purposes.
BY the system of appraisement in
augurated by the equalization board,
the amount Of real estate is separated
from the capital stock, ETC., by coun-
ties, and the equalization will be
made along these lines. 1t is the fair

Minot, n, D.. Aug. 1s.--N1any inter-
estlhg legal questions involving the
requirements of bona-fide home
steader are being answered daily by
Judge James W. Witten, superintend
ent Of the opening Of the Berthold
indian reservation. Almost every con-
celvable situation is represented in
these inquiries. Some who have lost
their homesteads through abandon
ment; others who were shown +ha
wrong land by locators, and still others
who relinquished, receiving a valuable
consideration, have laid their cases he
fore Judge Witten, and upon his de-
clslon has depended their right to take
chance in the government lottery.
AN interesting point decided by
Judge Written today is that a note.
which is given for a REIMBURSEMENT
and which proves to be worthless is
not@a consideration within the mean
ing Of the federal law. A homesteader
VINO filed on a claim in the western
part of North Dakota, sold his relin-
qulshment receiving a note for SIS, to
be paid the following fall. This note
was given three years ago and has not
been paid yet. The homesteader saws
that there is no chance to get the
money. Judge Witten held that since
the note is worthless, there is no con-
sideration, and the applicant has a
right to file again
