County Auditor Corrects
ErroneousImpressionasto
Cause of High Taxes
County Official Submits Tbulated Lees Bemd:
Construction Of bitches Not Responsible High Taxes County
Board Doing Everything Possible Lower Taxes.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION SPENT THREE
WEEKS IN ENDEAVOR TO EQUALIZE TAXES

In a letter to the editor of the Pho
neer, County Auditor J. l.. George
today corrects an erroneous impress
sion as to the cause of high taxes in
this county.
The letter and tabulated statement
should be studied carefully by every
citizen.
Much Misunderstanding.
1t is as follows:
Bemidji, Minn., June 12, 1916.
TO the Editor:
There seems to be a great deal of
misunderstanding as to the cause of
high taxes in this county, and the
board of commissioners and the
county auditor are many times
blamed as being the cause.
For the purpose of correcting this
erroneous impression, herewith sub
nit a tabulated statement of the tax
levies for state, county, city Of Be-
midji and School Dist No. 7, during
a period of the last five years, which,
if carefully studied will show every
taxpayer in the city just where the
money has gone during that time.

for the convention are Chief of Po-

debt, and while probably not ten per
cent of the purchasers will settle on
the lands purchased, they will pay
the interest and principal as it be-
comes due, or someone else will pur-
chase the tax certificates on the land,
which, if not redeemed by the own
ers, will enable new men to get even
cheaper lands than the first pur-
chasers.
Aside from the matter of ditch
taxes, which are not paid by the
county at large, think an apology is
due from the taxpayers of the county
to the county board for entertain
ing for a moment the idea that
they (the board) have done one thing
towards raising the taxes. On the
contrary they have done all possible
to lower them, as this table of rates
will show.
Spends Full Time.
Regarding the valuations of the
county, want to say that the board
of equalization spent three weeks
Gall the time they could legally
spend) in 1914 in the endeavor to
equalize the different sections, and
while the final result was not just
as they would have liked themselves,
they felt sure that the property Of
the county was better equalized than
it had ever been, and the only change
that could have been made would
have been to decrease all the prop
erty of the county by percentage.
And the only effect that would have
had would be to increase the rate,
and the tax would have been the
same. The city was not touched, but
remained at the assessors valuation.
Were it legal, and I could do it,
would increase the road and bridge
levy to double or triple the present
legal levy. We want roads and good
roads, and it costs money to get
them. In this respect the ditch
country is getting ahead of the
southern part of the county, as for
every mile of ditch there is a mile
of road, and while some or them are
not the best of roads, some of them
are, and any of them are better than
none. But the lands benefited pay

Senator Stone today stated that the
Democratic platform would contain
the following points:
Democratic achievements in re-

currency system and in inaugurating
the income tax by way of proof of
soundness of domestic policies.
Praise of Wilson's foreign policy
in keeping the United States at peace
while maintaining strict and honest

tory in gaining Germany's pledge to
discontinue summarizing.

of the foreign trade.
Will discuss Wilson's attitude to-
ward Mexico, treated from a stand
point of a friend in need.
Preparedness will be thoroughly
considered. Chairman McCombs this
afternoon stated that he has pre-
pared resolution asking plank for
a constitutional amendment prevent
ing Federal judge from being ele-
waited to any other office. This is an
outgrowth of the Hughes nomination.

The money will not be wasted.
There has been no other levy made
on account of the bitches and while
I expect and always have expected
that after some years the county will
have to make levies to meet the
shortage, it Will be so small compared
with the development of the county
that people will wonder how it was
done. And there has been hundreds
of thousands of acres placed on the
tax list during the last few years
that never would have been owned by
private parties without the drainage
which has been done.

FAIRBANKS ACCEPTS VICE
PRESIDENT NOMINATION
(By, United Press)

New York, June 12.-Charles Evan
Hughes, former justice of the U. S.
supreme court, now the Republican
candidate for president, is in New
York today. It is reported that he
will hold conference with Theodore
Roosevelt, who has declined the Pro-
gressive nomination.
Just Smiles.
When asked by a United Press
representative today whether or not
he would meet Roosevelt, the Repub-
lican leader just smiled.
At Oyster Bay, the only statement
that could be secured from Theodore
Roosevelt was, "I'm through with
politics. Saturday night the colonel
informed the Progressive party that
he could not accept the nomination
as their candidate. -
T. R. Declines.
His statement follows:
81 am very grateful for the
honor you confer upon me by
F.. nominating me as president. I
cannot accept it at this time. I
do not know the attitude of the
candidate of the Republican
party toward the vital questions
of the day. Therefore, if you
desire an immediate decision, I
must decline the nOmin alton. But
if you prefer it, I suggest that
my conditional refusal to run be
placed in the hands of the Pro-
gressive national committee. If s
statements, when: he -
: makes them, shall satisfy the
committee that it is for the in
terest of the country that he be
elected, they can act accordingly
and treat my refusal as definite
If they are not satisfied, they can
so notify the Progressive party,
and at the same time they can
confer with me and then deter
mine on whatever action we may
severally deem appropriate to
meet the needs Of the country.
-''Theodore Roosevelt"
Parker Vice President.
Captain John M. Parker of Louisi-
ana, nominated for vice president by
the Progressives, did not issue
statement.
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indi-
ana, nominated vice president by the
Republicans, accepted the nomina-
tion.
Hughes issued a statement Satur-
day night declaring his stand on va
rious matters. His statement in part
is as follows:
II stand for the firm and un-
flinching maintenance of all the
rights of American citizens on
land and sea.
''I desire to see our diplomacy
restored to it's best standards.
''I stand for an America which
knows no ulterior purpose, for
patriotism that is single and
complete.
II believe in preparedness not
only entirely adequate for our
defense, but with all thorough
ness to the end that in each
branch of the service there may
be the utmost efficiency under
the most competent administra-
tive heads.
t'There is no danger of mill
tarism. We have no lust for ter
ritory, no zeal for strife.
"In preventing unjust dis
elimination we must still be .
jealous to assure the foundations
of honest business

The county revenue rate has de-
creased as the county valuation has
increased annually.
Error in 1914.
The county road and bridge levy
is made annually for the full amount
allowed by law, which in 1911 and
1912 was two mills In 1913, 1914
and 1915 the legal levy made was
three mills. In 1914, through an er-
ror, the rate was made for three
tenths of a mill less than it should
have been. This was made up in
1915. The rate for the sinking fund
is made to supply the needs.
In 1913 and 1914 the state levied
an amount sufficient to cover the in
terest on ditch loans made the county.
But for that, the total rate for the
county in those years would have
been less than in 1912. The amounts
collected from these levies still stand
intact in the county treasury and
there will probably be no further
levy.
Sanatorium Increases.
The sanatorium levies of 1914 and
1915 also increased the total for
those years.
The state rural highway levies of
1915 is for the purpose of paying the
countys share of the cost of those
highways and all admit that the
money was we'll expended, and many
wish there were more available for
the purpose.
In 1911, &C 1-3 per cent of all the
money collected by the county came
back to the taxpayers of the city in
school and city taxes.
In 1912, Ga 1-3 per cent came back
to the city and school.
In 1913, &C per cent came back to
the city and school.
1914, SO IA per cent came back.
In 1915, rs per cent will come back
this year.
bitches Not Responsible.
You will notice that the state and
county levy increases from 1873 mills
in 1911, to 21.9 in 1913, and has
since decreased to 20 mills in 1915,
in spite of the fact that there was a
sanatorium levy of nearly a mill in
1914, and 80 mills in 1915, together
with a rural highway levy Of 2.25
mills in 1915.
There has been a general idea that
the construction of bitches in the
northern part of the county has been
responsible for the high taxes. This
statement shows plainly that such Is
not the case. For some of the first
bitches constructed the money was
borrowed from the state and for those
loans the state made levy in 1913
of PA mills and another in 1914
of 81 mills.
No Further Levy.
The collections from these levies
still remain in the county treasury,
and in all probability no further levy
will be necessary, and what remains
in the fund when the final bonds are
paid for those bitches, can be trans
ferred to some other fund, and in this
way avoiding a levy for that fund.
