The consolidation of the Farm
ers State bank and the First
National bank of this city has
caused an extra amount of work
in both banks this week in pre-
paration for uniting the two
banks, the consolidated institu-
tion opening up for business in
the Farmers bank building
next Monday. The fixtures of
the First National have been pur-
chased by Messrs Nelson 4
Th0rndike, and will be taken to
Willow Creek, Mont, for service
in the new bank at that place
On Wednesday State Examiner
G. j. Landon, Of Watertown was
here and made the regular ex-
animation of the Farmers bank,
which he found to be in splendid
condition. He said that the con-
solidation was heartily approved
by him, and that he was sure it
would prove not only a good
thing for the bank and those di-
rect'y interested in it, but it
would be of special benefit to the
city and the community, as one
well capitalized, strong institu-
tiOn was always better for the
community at large than a num-
ber of smaller institutions could
be, and the state banking depar.
tment was always pleased to see
these consultations take place,
and facilitated them in every
possible way. Wherever this
could be brought about in the
different parts of the state the
department was always anxious
to assist in doing SO. Mr.. Lam
don was very enthusiastic over
the solid character of the Farm
ers bank and the certain pros.
pect Of continued security
and prosperity for its patrons
under the consolidation with the
First National, an equally solid
and prosperous institution.

Tax Com mission Blunder
Graat Csasty EuAeavers 10 Obey the
Tax CenuDissisa aad Vets Caught
10 High Assessment

The state administration which,
is responsible for the tax COM
missiosf should answer to tax
payers 6f Grant county for the
load they have fastened upon
them. When the tax commission
first sent out instructions to the
several counties of the state or
ders were to assess all property
at actual value, the commission
stating that unless this was done
by the regular assessors the as
sessinent would be thrown out
and a new assessment made b.
an appointee of the commission.
The county auditor of Grant
county served notice on the as
SCISSORS of the county to obey
these orders, and the county
com mmissioners insisted. on the
full valuation assessment being
made as demanded by the tax
commission. The result is that
Grant cOuntys 5 assessment was
made on this basis. believing
that the other counties of the
state would be compelled to obey
the law, and no injustice would
then be worked. But how has il
turned out: Many of the coun.
ties simply ignored the tax com
missions orders and after all the
buster of the tax commission
nothing was done about it, and
in equalizing these counties were
practically left as they were as
sessed. Grant county gets a
full dose of it on this deal simply
because her officers attempted
to carry out in good faith the in
structiOns Of the tax commission.

are now about Is years old and
the old couple retired from a
small farm a few years ago and
bought a little cottage in Beres-
ford, where to spend their re-
naming days, hoping by rigid
economy to live from the income
of the sale of their farm after
paying for the cottage.
Their entire savings of life
time of work and the sale Of their
land consists of small cottage
in Beresford and So, 900 which is
loaned out at per cent interest
and brings them in $500 a year
as an income from which to live
The tax commission ordered
the local assessor TO enforce the
assessment on credits. La com.
pliance with this the old couple
put in their Sc, 900 mortgage in
addition to their cottage, which
at the local levy at Beresford
takes $l69 to pay the taxes
This amount deducted from $500
leaves them *13l from which tc
