TAX COMMISSION
IS. FOR INCREASE
Say That Railroads Are p
Gaping 20 Per Cent Of
Their Taxation.

Bismarck, N. D., August 17-lnteF1
est at the capitol centers this week h
the recommendation Of the state tax
commission to the state boasd q
equalization relative to the assessnaeasf
Of railroads. telegram companies and
express companies. The cvnamissten
has recommended sharp increases IN
the assessed valuation Of the proper
ties Of these corporations. They havs
recommended that the railroad prop
critics Of the state be raised fEon
@l5, ,oo0, 900 to $es. 900, 900, which wosh
occasion IN increase in their taxes o6
approximately 500, 900. :.
In support Of this recommendation
the commission presented m exhaust
i've discussion Of railroad vaaues and
railroad taxation, not omy N North
Dakota but in the northwestern ststss
and throughout the United States.
They demonstrated that railroad prop.
critics in this state paid . much higher
return on investments than invest
ments in farm lands, live stock, and
other varieties Of property owned By
the average citizen Of the state. They
also found that the railroads were ~
sessed At . very low valuation, muci,
lower than farm lands, live stock, city
realty, bank stock, ETC., and that they
paid double the tax in Washington and
Idaho and almost double the tax In
Minnesota and . very much higher
tax in Montana than they paid in
North Dakota. in brief, the railroads
have been escaping fully 40 per cent
Of their just share Of the burden Of
taxation.
The tax commission recommended
that the valuations Of the Northern
Pacific be increased SO per cent; The
Great Northern ~ .psr cent; the 500
20 per cent; and the kilwaukee 20
per cent. To illustrate the disparity
Of the tax burden the commission
computed the tax paid on $1,000 in
vestment IN the following properties:
Railroads, $3.50; farm land, $3.50;
cattle, $1o.6s; horses. $11.26; hogs,
$12.75; city realty, $12.75; sheep,
1851 and bank stock $10.6s.

On. were not issued BY the government
and were. therefore. only medals. Tho

the exception that the face Of Liberty
was turned to the right and the legend
"One Cent" was inclosed In q chain Of
