TAX COMMISSION
GIVE INSTRUCTIONS

Bismarck. n. D., March 2S.-The
state tax commission has sent out in
structions to the county auditors
Z which contain some innovations.
They are instructed that personal
property of every individual, except
\ ing the legal exemption of $50, is to
Z be assessed at "what the average
mar desiring to own it would give in
money for the property at it's ordi-
mary use".
Z The state law provides that all
pronerty should be assessed at It's full
I value, but this law has never been
! obeyed and to attempt to enforce it
now would precipitate an immense
amount of trouble. Therefore it is rec
commended that in order to have uni
form method, all property should be
appraised at its actual value n then
rs per cent of 1t taken for assessment
!! purposes. This percentages should be
applied to all property.
The bank exemptions Of surplus,
reserve fund and undivided profits
= equal to s per cent of the loans and
discounts, in section 1903 of the revis-
ed statutes of 1905 is held u%nconsti-
tutionar by the attorney general and
will be d~isregarded.
One of the most radical departures
is the assessing Of building sites on the
railroad right of-way leased by the
companies. These are to be placed on
the assessment rolls the same as any
! other real estate.

NOT LIABLE FOR
SHIPPERS MISTAKE

Washington, d. c.. March 2s.:-In a
decision in the case Of the C. S. Brack-
EFT company Of MINNEAPOLIS against
the Great Northern Express Co., the
interstate commerce commission held
that a common carrier is not respon-
sible for the mistakes Of the shipper,
when the latter indicate, on a package
now 1t should be routed. In this case
the Bracket company shipped liquor
to a man in Svald, N. D., directing
that it go via Edinburgh. The re-
ce1pt was made out by the shipper and
directed that the consignment move
via Cavalier. N. D. The express com
pany carried the liquor to Edinburgh
in accordance. with the instructions on
the box, but was unable to effect de-
livery from hat place. The liquor
was returned to the Bracket company
at Minneapolis, with a charge Of ship
ment both ways.
The Bracket company contended
that the directions on the receipt
should have been followed, and the
instructions on the box disregarded,
but the interstate commits
sion decided that any damages result
ing were due to the act of the shipper
in improperly marking the package. A
claim for refund of charges was dis
missed.
The Imperial Elevator Co., doing
business at Rustad and other places
in Minnesota today fled a complaint
with he commission against the Great
Northern railroad, asking for a refund
or alleged ~oVercharges on shipments
Of grain from various points in the
state to Mirtneapolis, during the pen
dency in the courts Of the Minnesota
rate cases. The elevator company
claims that the charges assessed dur
ing that time were in excess of the
state rates approved by the supreme
court. and that the difference should
be returned.

See SUCCESS FOR
MIDLAND RAILROAD

Sherbrooke, N. D., March 2s.--
Sherbrooke has a well organized
committee which is working on the
question of securing the Midland
Continental hailroad, the committee
being engaged in securing right of
way.
The sherbrooke people are conf
dent that the Midland really intends
to use this route in approaching
Grand Forks from Jamestown, be-
cause Of the fact that this district is
without rail facilities.
Activities of the Midland railroad,
as reported by The jamestown Alert,
indicate that extension work will be
carried on during the coming sum
mer, with Grand Forks as the prob
able objective point. The Alert says:
"The extension Of the Midland road
from Wimbledon northeast to Coop
erstown is indicated this year by nu-
merous active preparations now go-
ing N. Among these is securing the
right of way by Agent Britt of James,
town for the line Of road between
Wimbledon and EooperstoWn. 1t is re-
ported that CooperstoWn has offered
the company a substantial bonus ana
favorable local advantages. The Grand
Forks Commercial club has become
active In overtures to the company to
defect the line TO that city and 1T lS
now altogether probable that such a
plan may be followed, although the
matter has not been definitely settled.
