Corporations aggregating millions of
dollars, of lands in the state have ap-
piled for charters. The purpose Of
these corporations is to farm, develop
or otherwise operate these lands fol-
profit. The ~anti-farming law passed by
the legislature of 1912, prohibiting cor
porations from engaging in agricultural
pursuits has given impulse to the ap.

The inventor of that most useful and
economical road building and repairing
implement, the King road drag, did
himself and his invention an injustice
when he refused to patent it. Just be-
cause anyone who can handle tools and
command the use of a log and a strip of
steel can make one, it is generally neg
lected, though it has been repeatedly
proved far superior to more costly pat
ented machines. If farmers and county
commissioners had to pay a good rounc
sum for the King road drag, it woulC
soon come into general use. King made
a great mistake when he refused t.
patent it and dedicated it to an un
grateful public. jackson Ledger.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE first
biennial report of the North Dakota
tax commission is now in the hands
of the printer. The commissioners
were appointed last July by Govern
or Burke and devoted the first four
months Of their term of office to the
study of tax conditions in North Da-
kota. While their report is prelimi-
nary in it's nature 1t contains much
information which will be new to the
state and of general interest.
Probably the most striking informa-
ton it contains is that the taxable
property of the state, which was as
sessed this year at $294,770,370, in real
ity aggregates from $1,500, 100000 to
81, 900, 100000. While the commission
ers find it impossible to even approx
innate the actual figure for the assess
able wealth Of the state they believe
that property din the aggregate in
North Dakota Is being assessed at
from Is to 20 per cent of its actual
value. They find the actual value OF
farm lands in the state to be not far
from $95o,O0O.OOO, while the assess
ment this year was $199, 9,073, ,743.
One of the most interesting tables
found in the report is a comparison
between the appraisement of farm
lands as returned by the United States
census in 1910; the appraisement as
made by the state land department
and the appraisement of the assess
ors. Under the state law. when an
application is made to the university
and school lands department for real
estate loans, the applicant must set
a value upon the land on which he
seeks loan. Before the loan is made
an appraisement Of the land is made
by county board, consisting Of the
county auditor, the chairman of the
board of county commissioners and
the county superintendent of schools
This table shows that the average
price per acre as returned by the
owners of real estate seeking loans
is $29.04, the average value as found
by the boards of -appraisement Is
$27.30, by the United States enumer-
ators $3.50, by the assessors $4.26
The assessors appraisement is only
14.7 per cent of the appraisement ol
land owners. .s
Taking the census value per acre
$25.69. and the 36,s3S,697 acres listed
for assessment this year, the aggre-

Last evening the streets ,of Fargo
were thronged with a merry company
OF young people from the country
districts. They were accompanied to
the city by chaperones and there were
nearly 200 of them. @E
These little folks are those who have
been successful in gaining prizes in
the various counties of the state in the
contests that have been going on for
the past year.
They are attending the third annual
boys and girls institute. The winners,
of prizes being the delegates that are
attending the institute. The contests
were for the best in the different
counties in the raising of corn and
other grains for the boys, and in the
making of bread, butter and other
household articles on the part of the
girls.
Had Their Suppers. ...
Last evening the greater number of
the young company were escorted to a
restaurant where. under charge of
Professor Randlett and ladies. they
were given supper which was much
enjoyed. Here they each received a
yellow ribbon which showed that they
were members of the party and en-
titled to admission to anything.
Fargo is busy today in entertaining
these young people and at the same
time the first annual Country Life
conference is taking place The
institute and country life meetings
are running together and all are being
held at the agricultural college.

Out at the college this morning there

were several hundred people assembled
and all of these were from out of
town with a few spectators from the
city. There was not much attempt
this morning to hold a, meeting, for the
young people were anxious TO roam
about, see the different buildings about
the grounds and above all to get ac-
quainted and visit among each other.
The boys compared notes as to the
best methods of raising corn and the
different grains while the young ladies
met and talked over butter making
and other matters OF" that kind. 1t
was a pleasant gathering this morn

Business This Afternoon.
This afternoon the real programme
of the day begins, and it opened with
"a discussion on The Country School
as a Social Center. 1t was followed
by round table session, and county
superintendents, country school teach
ers and parents took part therein.
This, it is expected, will end the affair
for the afternoon, and in the evening
there will be something in the nature
of an entertainment, when the country
band concert will be given by the A.
G. cadet band and after this is over
the subject of the country school play
will be taken UP and it is expected
that this will be amusing to young as
well as old. r..
/ 1t might be stated that during the
stay, of the boys and girls in the city
they will be the guests of the A. c.,
and in many cases the, counties from
where they come have paid their
entire expenses here, .rf .a.

First Biennial Report
ofN. D. Tax Commission
Was Made Public Today
Interesting Comparison Between Apprasemcnt Of Farm Lands
by U. S. Census, State Land Department and Assess
ors-Other Interesting Figures Made Public

gate value of all assessable land In
the state Is S946, 1875. According
to the census report all farm property,
other than land, in 1910, aggregated
1924, ,434074. For 1912 the assessabie
value of city and village real estate,
including structures, was S29,7S2, ,S13.
Assuming that this class OF property
is assessed at one-third of its value,
which the tax commission considers
very high ratio, it's value aggregates
in round numbers $90,O0O,000. 1t is
the intent of the state board OF
equalization to assess railroads at ap-
proximately one-f fourth of their actual
value. This year they are assessed
in round numbers ait $42,000,O00,
which makes the aggregate value of
this class of property in the state
$168, 100000. other public service cor
porations assessable by state officials
$2,000,00O. The tax commission be-
lieves that the capitalization of the
earning powers of these would be
greatly in excess of $16,000,000. The
last census gives the mortgage in
debtedness on farms owned by actual
operators at $47841,5S7. It is well
known fact, points out the commits
sion, that the mortgages in. North
Dakota are greatly in excess of those
on lands actually owned by the opera
tor. The bank deposits in September,
this amount must be deducted the
public monies not subject to taxation.
If all of the public monies in the state
were on deposit at once. they would
not greatly exceed $10,0O0,000, and
from $4,000. 900 to $5,000,OO0 would
probably be the average deposit. "It
will be conceded" runs the report.
that the assessable monies in the
state must exceed this sum by con-
siderable amount. The capital stock,
surplus and profits of banks on the
same date was S1S,26O569. From this
amount should be deducted the real
property owned by banks and per
cent of their loans and discounts.
From the report Of the internal reve-
nue. commissioner for June 80, 1911,
we learn that all North Dakota cor
porations other than public service,
are capitalized at $55,569, ,094 and that
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1910, they
enjoyed a net income of $6,717,67S.

National Committee Of Hsuse-

New York, Dec. 17.-The national
executive committee of housewives
league, which is conducting a crusade
in New York for cheaper eggs, an
nounced that a meeting will be held
late today to consider plans for ex-
tending the campaign to every large
city in the country. e
Women generally will be urged to
join the movement. which is to be
aimed not only at eggs but toward the
lowering of prices generally. No gen.
eraI reduction in the price Of eggs re-
suited from the crusade so far, but
Mrs. Julien Heath. president of the
Housewives league, said today that a
number of individual dealers have cut
the prices. .#
A mass meeting of the big dealers
is scheduled for today. Their decision
will determine the future policy of the
housewives. The crusaders maintain
that practically all the eggs on the
market are cold storage eggs, and that
as such, they should not sell for more
than 26 cents a dozen.

Hitch Caused by Absence Of

Switzerland Preparing for War
AugmentiDg Treasury


London, Dec. 17.--An obstacle was
encountered today by the pIenipotent-
iaries of the Balkan allies AMI of the
Ottoman empire. who are gathered
here with the object of bringing about
peace. The absence of Greece's sigma
ture to the armistice and protocol was
the cause of the hitch in the proceed :
ings, and the delegates found it neces-
sary to adjourn without effecting any
real businesses.
They will meet again Thursday
afternoon ana in the meantime will
communicate with their homee govern-
ments, 1t is understood the powers of
the Turkish plenipotentaries did not
authorize them to recognize the Hell
lenic delegates unless Greece signs the
armistlce, and therefore they are OBJ
liged to refer the matter to Constanti-
nople before proceeding with the con-
ference.
The Greek representatives refused
to sign a protocol when invited to do
so today, pointing out 1t would make
no difference, as the allies We're united
and decision reached by the mem
bers of the Balkan league would be
binding on Greece equally with the
other members of the federation.

fire was first seen at II p. m. by Her

quickly, but 1t was too late to save
the building as the fire was too far
gone. The underground pipes were
frozen and 1t was necessary to connect
the hose with the tank which meant
a waste Of 10 precious minutes. For
tunately there WAS no wind that night
and the fact that the shop was stand
