The entire State of Kansas is
now freed from quarantine for
the foot-and-mouth disease, the
order taking effect July 26. The
same order frees the States of
Connecticut and West Virginia,
and limits the quarantine areas
in Kentucky, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and limits the quarantine
areas in Kentucky, Maryland and
Virginia to stock yards at Louis
vile, Baltimore and Richmond.
Five counties are freed in New
York, four in Pennsylvania, and
one in Illinois, There is now
very little territory still under
quarantine for this disease in the
United States. -Four counties in
Illinois, three in New York, and
two in Pennsylvania, constitute
practically all that remains, with
the exception of stock yards and
isolated premises. In Kansas,
the quarantine was confined at
its worst to four counties.

County Seat
Bill Passed
Beach and Other County Seats
Located Near State Boundary
Are Excepted By New Law.

Bismarck, N. D., March o.
The closing hours of the four
teenth legislative session saw a
number of bills that have had a
rocky road to travel passed and
handed over to the goveznc. for
his signature.
Probably the most novel bill
passed at this session of the legis-
Iature is what is known as the Mel
son county seat removal bill. I'm
der this bill which many law
yer members of the legislature be-
lieve to be unconstitutional, it
will be possible to remove county
seats on 90 per cent vote in
stead of requiring two thirds as
at present. There is little ques-
ton but that the constitutionallty
of the bill will Immediately be
called into qestjon if it. receives
the signature of the governor. ne
history of the bill is unique. The
conference committee appointed
at first recommended that the
house recede from its amend
ments which would have lett
county seats off the railroads in
jeopardy. The senate refused to
accept this report, while the
house did, receding from it's
amendment and when this condi-
ton became known the senators
refusal to concur was called to
the attention of the house and the
lower house reversed its decision.
In the senate a further amend
ment to the long list already made
was offered. which excluded
county seats situated on sections
49, and "a which would save Bot
tineau county from a fight. The
house then failed to pass the bill
as amended, the first vote being
short of a constitutional majority
but on second roll call the bill
passed by vote of 63 to 81
and as the bill goes to the govern.
or it provides for the removal OF
county seats that are not on rail-
roads and those within three
miles, four thousand feet of a
county line. Exceptions to the
blli are county seats located on
state boundary lines, county seats
on the Missouri river. those hav-
eng court houses valued at ten
thousand dollars and over and
those on section | 3 and "a. This
measure affects Lakota and Rolla
and any attempt to move those
will result in law going to the SUI
preme court.

A Few Reminders
About Taxes

1t is strange to say we never
hear any complaints about taxes
until tax-paying time then when
they begin to compare notes and
wonder why one man should pay
so much more or so much less
than his neighbor who apparently
has about the same amount of
personal property.
If the County Treasurer and
County Auditor could answer
these questions satisfactory they
would be sitting in higher posi-
tions instead of holding down a
county job.
The gist of this circular is to be
cooperation, cooperating with
the Assessors and its local board
of equalization. About the mid
die of April in each and every
year the Assessors start out to
list all the taxable property in the
various taxing districts in the
county, the law says that the AS
SCISSOR is the sole judge of valua-
tions but quite frequently he
takes the value given him by the
property owner. After the as
sessment is made the Assessor
hands the property owner a slip
showing the total amount of per-
sonal and total of real estate pro-
perty as shown bv his list, Mr..
Property Owner believes at the
time that the assessment 10 fair,

true and just, but | would like to
know; can he give any tangible
reason why it is just and equit-
able? -
am coming now to the point
that wish to impress upon every
taxpayer most emphatically and
that is this: The various boards of
equalization for City, Village and
Township meet in June of each
and every year to review and
equalize the assessments as made
by the Assessor. do not think be-
cause the members of the Boards
of equalization are holding this
office that they are able to de-
sermine a true and equitable val
uation for all their property own
ers for their districts unless the
property owners assist them. The
property owners can so assist by
appearing before the board of
equalization for either the Town
ship, Village or City and there
making their comparisons neieh-
oor for neighbor and in so doing
they give to the Board informa-
ton where thew may be able to
eqnitably equalize.
If anv property owner feels
that he is not justly dealt with by
his local board when he appears
before them he can lay the found
alton for an appeal to the County
Board. and so on. | wish to call

Merchants of Experience and
Ability.

Beach is about to lose one of
its most enterprising business men
and live wires, The Power
Clothing & Shoe company hav-
ing decided to establish a cloth
ing and shoe store in the new
town of killdeer, north of Dick
inson. where already several
Beachites have gone into busi-
ness.
NJ. w. Power returned from
that new and hmstling pioneer
town last week fully convinced
that it is an ideal place for an
exclusive clothing and shoe store.
His conviction was baked up in
financial way to the extent of
purchasing business lot and he
says he will commence building
and actual activities as soon as
spring opens ND. He is enthusias-
tic over the new town and says ID
is second Beach of the early
days, and. adds that he is going
to do his part in making it a Sec
ond Beach of today by taking
personal charge Of the store and
making the new town his home.
T. J. Power will continue to con-
duct the Beach store.
killdeer can consider itself
lucky in securing a business firm
'of the type of The Powers as
their Beach store is familiarly
known to the public.
The Powers" have built up
a clothing business here known
throughout the length andbreadth
of the Golden Valley; have
built it up through hustling busi-
ness qualities, good goods and
courteous treatment of their trade.
until they are recognized as lead
.ers in their line and as business
men of the city.
They know the clothing busi-
ness from A to Z and what they
have done in Beach they will do
in killdeer, making their estab-
/; lishment an institution of which
any town could be proud.
M. w. Power, who goes to Kill
deer, was practically schooled in
a clothing store, and has the repu-
tation Of being a shoe specialist
as well as a critic when it comes
to clothing. He came to Beach
in 1907 and was a member of
the Dickinson-Power Company,
Beach's largest department store.
Two years later he severed his
connection with this establish
ment and went into the exclusive
clothing business, building up a
clothing establishment that is a
credit to the city. He was also
engaged in the clothing business.
prior to his coming to Beach.
Outside of his business he has

proof of this is that he is already
boosting for killdeer, and says he
IS going to give that city a store
equal to the one in Beach, includ-
ing complete and full line of
