TAXABLE VALUE
$15S,S4S,852
Growth in State According to
Figures Of Board Of Equaliza-
tion.

tl0n.
After revising, figuring, esti-
mating 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 conclusion the
board took into account the To-
cal conditions and each mem
Der conscientiously aimed to do
exactly the right thing. There
is not likely to be any adverse
criticism of the boards action.
There is a certain amount of
money to be raised in North
Dakota by taxation and it is the
aim and purpose of the officers
to have the burden rest equally
upon all property. If any in.
justice has been done, the
county officers are to blame for
the state board cannot go back
of the abstracts brought to it
by the county boards.
The practice of the local ap.
praising officers neglec ii ng
their full duty with the belief
that the state board of equali.
cation will correct the errors
and right the wrongs is wan
ton shirking of responsibility
and a dangerous practice. The
state board, while it has gen.
eral knowledge of conditions in
the different counties cannot
know as we'll .as the residents
in the different counties who
have to deal with familiar cir.
cumstances.
Since the figures that were
printed the board has made
some changes which change
the totals on the real estate as.
sessments.
The number of acres of lands
assessed for taxation in 1910
were 34,394,24O. In 1911 the
number of acres returned are
$500, POI.
The acreage value for taxa
ton in 1910 was $4.62 per acre
while in 1911 it is $4.32 per acre
The total value of real estate
in 1910 was $146,654,622 while
in 1911 it is $153, 3,748,852.
The amount returned by the
county boards for 1911 was
$1s2,181,714. This was increas-
ed by the state board $780,
1877.
TIE total amount fixed for
taxation on real estate in 1910
by the state board was $174,17O,-
9O1.
The boards total appraise-
ment for realty for 1911 is $l84,
5s9,989, a gain over the 1910
total of $9,5s0,912.
Of course there is one million
six hundred thousand acreage
inscrease in 1911 which helps
to make the enormous increase.
The following table shows
the appraised value of lands by
counties:
Adams 300

Billings 2.67

Bottineau 4.61

swamp lands of the South is a mat
ter of Importance not only in a COM
mercial aspect but in the promotion
of healthful conditions and the re-
nloval of the cause of epidemic di-
seases. 1t is to be hoped that the

project that will add so much to the
wealth of the South as the reclama-

grapher of the Geological Survey,
treating upon the benefits that will
accrue, both from the standpoint of
agricultural wealth and the improve
ment of hygienic conditions through

These lectures will be illustrated
by stereopticon pictures and will be
very interesting, as we'll as instruc-
tive. During the lecture, a pamphlet,
treating upon the subject of drain
age, will be distributed to those in
attendance. 1t is earnestly hoped
that the attendance will be large. as
the running of this train is Intended

see that these rates are not increased
unless deserving to be increased:
Chamber Of Commerce,
Shreveport, La, June 9. 1911.
Dear Sir-At the next meeting OF
the Railroad Commission of Louisi-
ana that body will consider adopting
uniform refrigeration charges on
shipments of perishable freight NOV
ing under ice between points in Lou
isiana.
l wish you would make inquiries
of your ice company or local freight
agent, or both, and find the cost per
ton charged by the ice company for
refrigerating perishable, etc., at your
point.
1 will appreciate it very MUCH If
you will let me have this information
at an early date as possible. The
Railroads have contended that the
present charges are below the cost
of service and it is their intention

night. While the audience was not
large, those who attended the

Of intemperance were formed by the
use Of wines and light drinks and
painted some word pictures of the
depravity and degradation resultant
from the use of Intoxicating bever-
ages. She also went into statistical

waste and the money diverted from
the proper channels by the expendi-
ture for liquors.

Mr.. H. R. Mccullough, principal
OF the Covington high school, ha;;
resigned that position and accepted
the the same position with the high
school at Jena, La. Mr.. Mccullough
says that while he has formed at
tachment for Covington and regrets
to leave here, he thinks it is duty
he owns to himself to accept the
better opportunities he gets by taking
position in an accredited high
school, as it places him in line with
the teaching in the high schools oil
the State. The Jena school has a
$4,000 building, provided with a
manual training and domestic science
department, and is in every way an
up-to-date school. Mr.. Mccullough
says that while he will receive an in
creased salary, this alone would not
influence him in making the change
1t is unfortunate that Covington
should so often be compelled to make
change in the personnel of its teach
ing force, but it will continue to BE-
SO until we cake the standing we
should in tli4 ranks of the schools
