SEE HOPE FOR GRESSER
Borough Presidents Friends
Think Primaries May Aid Him.

Hope that Lawrence Gresser, President

fee is expressed by a group OF men IN that
borough who have organized to aid dresser

" ould mean disaster 70 many Of their en-
t-rprises. Millions Of dollars have been
spent by these concerns, and owing 10 the
dulness Of rhe money market and the con-
sequent lack Of real estate buyers they
say they are in no condition 70 stand for
a political "hold-up"
There also appears 70 he 2 prevailing
opinion that Tanmany Hall IS looking tow
ard Queens as an inviting field for political
exploitation With this opinion in view,
there ara manv who believe that IN the
forthcoming primary fight Joseph Cassidy,
who IS Democratic state committeeman and
chairman Of the Queens County Democratic
! Committee. will undoubtedly have the sup
port Of Tammany Hall when he seeks 70
regain control Of the administrative ma
chinery Of that borough. Cassidy's fol
lowers. who have been out for the last six
/ years. are seeking the removal of Gresser
in the hope that Cassidy or some one sub
servient 70 him will get Gresser's place.
J Politicians in Queens are also wondering
what significance, II any, IS attached TO the

HODGE PoDGE TAXATION.

1t Is the uniform experience of
farmers moving into Mitchell
from Dawson county, to be
amazed at the amount of
taxes they are obliged to pay on city
property. This is explained in the
figures published by The Republican
Saturday. from a report by Mr.. T. A.
Polleys, tax commissioner Of the
Omaha railroad. Mr.. Polleys made
a record of all the transfers of prop
erty in.the city and also of farm
lands in the county. Then he look
ed up the assessment of these same
parcels of property. What he found
was that the farm lands were assess
ed at only 1858 per cent Of their ac-
tual selling value. while the city
property was assessed at 29.74 per
cent of it's actual selling value.
Surprising the levy to be 100 MILF
in city and county the mar who owns
$4,000 worth of farm land in this
county would pay on an average
$4,000. while the man in the city,
with $4,000 worth of real estate,
under the same levy, would pay
s297.4O. In other words, the man
in the city is paying two thirds more
county and state taxes on the same
amount of property than the man in
the country. is this right? is it
just?
The assessment of all property in
South Dakota is made upon the sup
posed basis of one third of the actual
value. Therefore it is apparent that
the trouble with the assessment in
DAWSON county is that the farm lands
are valued too low. They are re-
turned at just about one sixth of
their value. instead of one third. as
is supposed to be done. In the city
of Mitchell. the average valuation is
too low. but it is much nearer the
correct percentage of actual value
than the farm lands.
It is doubtful # the city o. Nit
chsll ran bring about any moye fair
