NcV. Tax Commissions
Order Seems To Be Unfair

The Nevada Tax commission has or
dered raise in the assessed valuation
on lands in the state and the order has
met with popular disapproval everywhere.
The fact is. the sche dule of raises pro-
mulgated by the commission is rank
Injustice to many taxpayers and the
commission. it appears. has done
something in direct controversy to the
purposes for which the tax commits
sion was formed-namely to effect
fair and equitable rate of taxation among
all property, owners of the state,
The commissions order effects Lin
coin county in this way
On all lands shown upon the roll hav-
ing an assessed valuation of $l.75 to
81 so per acre. inclusive, are raised to
SO per acre.
All lands shown upon the roll having
an assessed valuation of 81 to $40 per
acre inclusive. are raised to sl2 per acre,
All lands shown upon the roll as
having an assess d valuation of $l2. so
$2a per acre.
All lands shown upon the roll as hav-
ing an assessed valuation Of 500 to $50
per acre inclusive, are raised to s36 per
acre.
AS an illustration, a man may be
assessed $40 per acre, while along side
his neighbor has piece Of land which
perhaps is seeded to little more al
falfa and he Is assessed $40 per acre.
The fellow assessed at $40 does not
have to meet the raise, whereas. his
neighbor who was originally assessed at
$40 will have to pay taxes upon the ba-
sis of s3s per acre-almost double
If the tax commission was bent on
it not have been fairer. wouldn't it have
been just, that the raise should have
been certain per cent and all fare alik'
in the increase? AS it is the raises
are unjust and the tax commission de-
serves the greatest condemnation from
the people of the state.
The county auditor Is at work upon
the assessment roll making the alter
ations in compliance with the orders OF
the tax commission. He expects te

county treasurer the latter part of n At

mission.

POLICE PROTECTION.

This Is the time Of the year when
the foater begins to put in his appear
ance in large numbers. North Dakota
will soon be in the midst Of the har-
vest and thousands of men will flock
to the state to help take off the crop.
These men are welcomed with open
arms-the real 'aborers. But there
will follow these men another and
smaller army, the men who make their
living by preying on the man who
works.
Last year Fargo was unusually free
from the activities Of this class OF
"undesirables," due largely to the
splendid work hat was done by Chief
Bingham. acting under the orders Of
Police Commissioner Jordan. They
insisted that the men who came to
North Dakota to work in the fields,
keep moving towards those fields. There
is plenty of work in the country ana
no reason for men TO hang around
Fargo for several days.
This is the word that goes out this
year, keep moving. The people of the
city deserve this protection and they
will appreciate the efforts Of the po-
lice to duplicate the experiences Of
last wear. All the authorities of the
city. court and police, should work
together to keep Fargo free from pro-
fessional "vags."

Daddy Bedtime
@, The True Story
dow Of a Patriotic
Army Dog.

- HE Fourth Of July had drawn to a close and Jack and Evelyn were
very tired. but daddy had a story to tell them, a really true story, and,
OF course. they were very eager to hear it.
There was dog once named Dash He was an Irish setter, and
he belonged TO an army family. His master vas a young neutenantin the
army, and his masters father as a general
Nov. this dog was quite DID, but he had led IN active life which had
agreed with him splendidly. and he didn't behave as though he were old at
all. There weres several young children in the family, and he was made a
great pet What he liked above everything vas the sound Of guns.
HE had been to numerous army posts, and each one seemed to him to
be quite perfect especially Of the days of target practice o. when the salutes
were fred.
"But, alas, one summer the family went to live In a stupid, quiet little
village. where there was absolutely no life at all,
Dash seemed to be plntng away in the village. Quiet country life didn't
going to die OF old age until one day came-the day Of joy to so many thou
sands Of people! And it vas the day for Dash Gould 1t be true' he thought
to himself when he first heard the sound o a huge dynamite cracker. Then
came another. With a bound Dash was out Of his corner, wide awake and
barking furiousy. There vas NJ more sleep for that household that night,
but little did they care, for all wished to enter into the celebration.
Late in the day the young lieutenant said to a friend of his: Let's go
eff 10 the river I have several cannon hrecrackers tt send OF. I didn't dare
to fe them today, IS I vas afraid they might break the windows But we
can throw them we the bridge. Dash has gone to have his supper ami h
somewhat Gained down
$50 or they started for the river, and over the bridge they threw a lighted
cannon cracker Just before It landed in the water of it went with a ter
rife report
went bounding into the river, swimming toward the awful drecracker These
crackers had been recommended Is sure to go off, and there was the beloved
Dash going for 1t.
But the hrecracker did not go OF! Dash shifted at It disgustedly, while
his MASTER reathed the biggest sigh of relief and thanks OF his life"

"TAKE 1T EASY"

T, w. Hugo in Duluth Masonic Cal
endar. reproduced from Duluth Herald:
We are glad to record that most Wor-
shipful, the grand master OF MasohS'
BROTHER Robert E. Denfeld, has return
ed to his desk again after a short So
journ at Battle Creek in search OF ma
which was lost to him, temporarily, MS
good health. He says he feels al rLsnI
again and has promised TO 1orneaI
from taking life too seriously ana mus
bringing his own in jeopardy. =,
Life's a joke and a pleasant one, ana
an enjoyable occurrence PROVIDED we
find it out before we are dead. But
when we think we are the only pers .
mundane work and try to live up TO
our opinion of o~urself, we STUB our
toe on some infnitesimal mlcrooe ana
the poor world has to stagger along
as best it can without us, and the run
ny part of the whole thing is that 1t
never knows we have let go until our
name is read al the next Maundy
Thursday feast.
What began as a news item about
our grand master has developed into
an economic polemic, because there is
surely no economy in digging into ou1
work in such a serious manner that we
have to stop entirely at periods and
Better take the world and ourselves
less seriously, take our pleasure anC
our leisure as we go along and strike

We can, offhand, count up, amone
our limited circle many who can take
personal offense at the above remarks
and think they are directed at them
We hope they will TAX them home
but forget the offense part for none Is
intended, nor have we any particular
person in mind. There are too many
to lose time on one.
The sin and peril of our time is the
demand on the time and energy OF
persons in responsible positions who
as ever the southern darby was to his
master, and we believe more so. In
stead of fussing about the Mexican
peo~$ge, give some thought to oul
own. Instead of sending missionaries
to theN happy foreigners, have some
common sense ideas sent to our OWL
doors with the Masonic gospel of eigh'
hours work and eight ours play.

Dakota Bankers
May Organize Mutual
Protection Insurance Co.

honestly and competently managed
has no need to call Upon a guaranty
fund at any time, for a guaranty fund
Is created and exists for no other pur-
pose than for the protection of the
~depositors of incompetent or dishonest
bankers and to reimburse a small part
Of the public for losses incurred
through such bankers.
Contrary to Business Rules.
The theory Of a guaranty law Is
contrary to the fundamental rules Of
business. The development of char
aCter and incubation of principles
which inspire confidence and create
credit are taught by churches, schools
and colleges, n are the first essen
tials of modern business requirements.
The guaranty law theory declares, in
effect, that character and experience
are no longer the prime requisites for
the conduct Of business-that they are
Of small consequence. This must be
the conclusion from the adoption Of
any Measure which takes the resIon-
sibility from those who contract debt
, and places the responsibility for pay
ment on those who had no part in con
tracing the obligation or conducting
the business, n who derive no part
of the profits, but share only in the
losses. Such laws do not usually
prescribe any specific qualifications
for the banker, but it does relieve him
of the natural consequence of his acts
and places it on others.
In this connection, a former assist
ant treasurer of the United States, in
discussing the guaranty law theory,
said: Take away from the bank Off
cial and employe the fear Of the
vengeance of ~depositors and the guar
anty law will be working overtime.
Guarantee all banks, shift the resIon-
sibility for payment to the govern
ment, make sure that the depositors
will never suffer the loss of a cent,
and you destroy forever that outraged
public opinion which alone makes pos
sible the successful prosecution of the
dishonest n incompetent bankers.
Shift from the individual the respon-
sibility he now has to his depositors
for the safeguarding of their money,
you at once destroy his fear OF those
depositors. Without responsibility and
without fear, every man in the bank
is susceptible to the fever of specula-
ton, the pneumonia Of greed and the
consumption of dishonesty. Ask any
prosecuting official and he will tell
yousthat the absence of active public
opinion makes it almost, if not quite,
impossible to punish banking crimes.
He will tell you that 1t requires the
factive vengeance of the depositors to
get the necessary evidence and SYM
pathy Of the community to result in
punishment sufficient to At the crime.
In just the same ratio the banker,
when he is held individually RESPONSE
BILE, fears and RESPECTS his force. Take
it away and you take off the lid.
