FIRST REPORT OF
TAX COMMISSION
Taxable Property Of North
Dakota was Assessed at
$294,77O,37O
Commission has Outlined Val.
uations Of Property Over
the State

The first biennial report OF the
North Dakota Tax Commission is in
the hands of the printer. The com
missioners were appointed last July by
Governor Burke and devoted the first
four months of their term of office to
the study of tax conditions in North
Dakota. While their report Is pre-.
lininary in its nature it contains much
information which will be new to the
state and of general interest.
ssProbably the most striking inf0r.
nation it contains Is that the tax.
ALE property of the state, which was
assessed this year at 1894, 770,370, in
reality aggregates from $1,000, 600, 900
10 $780, 0O, 900. While the com.
missioners find it impossible to eve
approximate the actual figure for the
assessable wealth of the state they
believe that property in the aggregate
in North Dakota is being assessed at
from fifteen to twenty per cent OF its
actual value. They find the actual
value Of farm lands in the state tc be
not far from $950,000, 900. while the
assessment this year was 199,073,743..
One Of the most interesting tables
found in the report is a comparison
between the appraisment of farm
lands as returned by the United Sta.
ties Census in 1910; the appraisement
as made by the state Land Depart.
ment: and the appraisement Of the
assessors. Under the state law when
an application is made to the Uni
,vcrsity and School Lands department
for real estate loans, the applicant
must set q value upon the land on
which he seeks a loan. Before the
loan is made an appraisemeat Of the
land Is made by a county board, con
sisting Of the county auditor, me
chairman of the board of county conf
m%issioners and the county Hape:in-
tendent Of schools. This table shows
that the average price per acre AS
returned by the owners of real est
ate seeking loans is $29.04; the aver.
age value as found by the boards OF
a~ppraisement is $3.50; by the United
States enumerators $3.50; by the as
SCISSORS S4.26. The assessors appraise.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-12-17

ment Is only l4.7 per cent of the
appraisement Of land owner
Taking the census value per acre,
1850. and the 36,S3s, 697 acres listed
for assessment this year the aggre'
gate value OF all assessable land in the
state Is $946,3S6,1 28. According t.
the census report all farm property,
other than land, in 1910 aggregated
$~224,434,O74. For 1912 the assessable
value of city and village real estate.
including structures, was $29,7S2,S13'
Assuming that this class of property
is assessed at one.third of It's value,
which the Tax Commission considers
n very high ration. its value agSre.
gates in round numbers $50, 100000.
1t is the intent of the state board of
e~Qualizations to assess railroads at
approximately one.fourth of their
actual value. This year they are as
sessed in round numbers at $42, 000,.
900, which makes the aggregate value
of this class of property in the state
$16S, 000,0 00. Other public service
corporations assessable by state
officials $2,000,000 The Tax Com
mission believes that the equalization
Of the earning powers of these would
be greatly in excess of ST 900, 900.
The last census gives the mortgage
Indebtedness on farms owned by
actual operators at $47,S4l, 5S7. 1t is
a well known fact points out the Com.
mission, that the mortgages in North
Dakota are greatly in excess OF
those on lands actually owned by the
operator. The bank deposits. in
September. 1912, aggregated $7O,302,-
5s4. From this amount must be de-
Quoted the public monies not subject
to taxation. If all of the public
monies in the state we're on deposit at
once, they would not greatly exceed
$40, 1000. 900 and from three to five
millions would probably be the aver
age deposit. 1T will be conceded,
runs the report, that the a%ssessable
monies in the state must exceed this
sum by a considerable amount. The
capital stock, surplus and profits of
banks on the same date was $18,2G0,-

wealth and resources of the state and
creates the impression that North
Dakota Is tax ridden, In this con
n%cction. 1t should be borne in mind,
that the percapita wealth in North
Dakota Is very high and that OF
necessity the per capita tax must be

IN contemplating this total It must

In concluding the discussion Of the
general property tax, the commission
points out that the failure to list an
enormous amount of property in the
state works a hardship in the higher
rates on the property listed; also that
1t gives an entirely wrohs impression
of the wealth of the state and the
burden of taxation. Instead of going

The move is good one, and it is to

to secure uniformity throughout the

TENDERNESS rs INJUSTICE.

We have recently dwelt upon the
point that it is worse than folly to
coddle the criminal class. That class
is an outlaw class. taking no account
of the obligations OF humanity, of com.
munity right, nor Of the necessary SUI
premacy of the law. 1t is class
which is ready to take advantage of
any weakness, and to impose upon the
community with strong hand and
ruthless conscience,
Speaking of this matter recently,
Justice Gofi of New York went to the
''no man is as quick to detect weak
ness or hesitancy in the administra-
tion of criminal law as the lawbrcak-
or himself -
There cannot be the least doubt but
that this Is truism, a maxim worthy
OF being kept in mind at all times
not only by officers OF the law, but by
the community at large, 1t is the de-
lay, the uncertainty, the weakness OF
administering the criminal law, that
encourages crime and leads those OF
criminal mind 10 hope that they may
prey lawlessly upon the community
and escape the reckoning which is
their due.
The lesson is one that is enforced
upon the community ali the time, but
that needs constant reinforcing, be
cause it seems to be forgotten by the
public all the time This lesson is
that nothing is so serviccable for the
community interest in the extirpation
or suppression OF crime as the prompt,
rigid, and fair enforcement of the
law. This should be the aim of the
courts and of the officers al all times,
and this aim should be sturdily, stern
~, and unhinchingly supported by the
community at large.
