TAXATION
Plans EXPLAINED.
w. ". Pollock Of Cleveland
Tells Commercial. Club
Of System.

The somers system" of appraisins
the value OF property for taxation
purposes was explained by w. w.
Pollock of the Manufacturer Ap-
pratsal, company Of Cleveland, Ohio.
at the bi.weekly dinner Of. the Grand
Forks Commercial club Wednesday
night. ~
The speaker pointed out that there
was . great variation in the value of
real estate in the different parts III
any city. This depended largely he
said on the accessibility Of the prop
erty in question. The competition,
therefore, was not for land, but for
people.
In making a~ppraisals under the
Sonlers system there are two formal
steps. according to Mr.. Pollock. The
first consists. Of the appraisal. of some
lot as a baBis OF valuation, by a COM
mittee Of citizens. The second con-
ststs Of the comparison of the value
with that~of. the adjoining property.
The valuation is made on the unit
foot valuation which provides for a
decrease of IS per cent in value for
the first 80 feet running back fron,
the front Of the lot, and q Is per cent
decrease thereafter.
Following his address, Mr.. somers
left. for Portland, Ore. Tn the alb
mar of the social committee, w. r.
Davies presided at the dinner.

THE REMINGTON RELEASE,

Tho question has hccu raised wheth-
or Or not Remington, the convicted
murderer. who VAS released from the
pcnitcn,iary something over e year
ago. WAS lawfully set free. Remington
WAS sentenced to q life term in prison.
The board of pardons comnluted his
sentence to thirty-iivc years. Prisons
crs serving sentences arc always al
lowed certain reduction of time for
good behavior, so that a prisoner
whose conduct is perfect will he re-
leased some time before the actual
This practice is universal. and it has
been found to be productive OF excel
lent results.
Tho controversy in the Remington
case arises ovcr II difference Of opin-
Ion as to the time from which REM
ingtun's good conduct allowance
should he dated. Warden lIellstr"m
treated tho case as il II mar had
originally been given q t~hirty-liNc
year sentence, and computed his good
tlIIiP ttloM dllN' lIpiit NV 'NSIItiIi''S'
This AUTOMATICALLY terminated the
term nt the time when he WAS re-
leased, and he was accordingly libcr-
ated. Critics of this action have
maintained that tho good i'm should
have been computed only from the
date Of the communication, which would
have resulted in the Incarceration of
the prisoner until 1918. Mr.. He'll
strom maintains thai his action was
exactly that required ny law. and in
this hc is supported by tho attorney
general.
II tho action taken was legal, that.
Of course, absolNcd the warden from
all blame. I;ut the situation presents
an Inconsistency. nevertheless. There
appears to he no good reason why
regulations for good time allowance
should be retroactive. IL tho board
OF pardons is convinced tina a pris-
oncr should be set at liberty at a cer-
tain time, ii has tho authority to set
him free at that time. without having
n mathematical calculation necessary
to determine the date.
