by personal property to decrease. while

real property bears more than so per
cent OF the entire state and local taxes

commission does not find IL necessary
to go outside of North Dakota to dis
cover that real estate is bearing an
ever increasing burden of taxation,

Mexicans Defiant in Reply to
His Former Note

.
washington, Dec. 81. The presenta-
tion Of the state departments re-
5oinder to the Mexican reply to Secre-
tary Kuoxs note of last September
demanding the protection of American
interests in Mexico may not take
place until after the holidays.
Secretary Knox left washington
today for his home at valley Forge to
be absent until early in January and
the Intervening time BEFORE he re-
turns will probably be utilized in the
careful preparation of the American
note which, i'm way, is likely to ne
of historic Importance as marking a
district crisis in the relations between
the two countries.
The officials disclaim that the note
will be the ultimatum, attaching to
that word it's technical meaning of
demand which must be completely
met by a specified date. But that
the forthcoming note. while moderate
in terms and dignified in character
viii deal with issues between America
and Mexico in the firmest and most
uncompromising spirit is fully ex-
pected.
The administration has been brought
to this attitude by an unexpectedly
defiant tone of the Mexican reply to
Knox's September note.
