A sympathetic note has been struck
in real estate circles through declara-
tons OF such political leaders as Gov
ernor Brown, w. H. Burwel Speaker
of the House, and j. Randolph An
derson, President Of the Senate, that
something must be done to improve
the tax system of the State. There
has long been a conviction that real
estate has been saddled with an IN
fair proportion Of tax burden-that
rates should be increased and assess
ments lowered. This is particularly
true in Fulton County, where It is
claimed that any more legislation
raising tax assessments would drive
out industries and sadly cripple the
real estate business. Furthermore,
Fulton County pays, exclusive Of cor
poration and special taxes, about one
seventh Of the taxes paid into the
State Treasury, which It Is held Is
unfair Real estate men want more
of their tax money spent in the coun-
ty and less paid into the Golfers Of
the State, and they are seeking legis-
latiOn along this line.

Gated upon an island in the middle Of
the Missouri, Is on it's way down and
will arrive at Sioux City in due course
OF time. When the Missouri river be-
gan falling this morning, big chunks
OF the island began dropping into the
water, and before many had tumbled
In, the house went overheard and
floated gayly down the swollen stream
Nobody was living in the cottage, al
though It was furnished. Jackley had
established the cottage OIL an island
formed by willows, which has gradu-
ally grown larger during the past Ave
years, and had set up a claim to the
land. After two courts, the land office
at Pierre and the United States land
office had decided against him, Jackley
now has the case before the secretary
of the interior, who has as yet rendered
no opinion. 81"
