tend and they justify themselves in
their acts, on the sole ground that
they had to raise so much personal
property taxes on household furniture
in Anna township, and so whether !
had the furniture or not, they decided
that l should pay $257.OO on my
household furniture, when ought not
to have been taxed more than $500,
which was the amount for which
was assessed. Now, leave it to the
reader to decide if justice has been
done, and if Mr.. Vandenoever can de-
fend himself for what he and his as
sociates did in my case.
Mr.. Vandenoever says the City of
Minot pays more taxes on household
goods than the entire rural district in
the county. The only thing l can see
this proves is that the people who toll
on the farm and earn the bread to
feed themselves and all of the city
people, are comparatively poor, and it
is shame that the people who do the
actual work in life shall have so lit
tie of the luxuries thereof.
l do not care to enter into any dis
cussion about the taxes of Mr.. Van
denoever. l do not know how many
luxuries he enjoys, but evidently from
his statement he is enjoying a great
deal more Injuries than his brother
farmer, who has to make his living
direct from the farm l am not in
tending to go into any personal dis
cussion with Mr. Vandenoever; l am
not intending to give him any politi-
cal boost for the coming election.
So far as our taxes are concerned
in general way, am sure that the
farmers, as well as all the poor peo-
pie of our county, are paying a great
deal more taxes than they should be
required to pay. I believe there is
nothing that is practiced in this State
with such great injustice as the assess
ment of the property. Take it for in
stance in township like ours where
all of the farmers are comparatively
poor. They have just started in; they
have taken up rough, rolling and
stony lands; they have lifetime be-
fore them in carving out home for
themselves and their children. tt is
necessary for them to borrow almost
as much money as their property is
worth, and think that l can safely
say that there are very few quarters
in our township which do not carry
a first mortgage, and in some in
stances second and a third mort
gage, that except in a few instances
there is hardly farmer but who
owes one-third or more Of the value of
his personal property; they are as
sessed as if they were the absolute
owners Of all this property, both
homestead and personal property. If
the books were balanced their equity
in some cases would not be more than
$4,000, but they are possibly paying
taxes on 100000. Can any man con
tend that this is equitable? The as
SCISSOR lists every article Of personal
property, for instance, horses regard
less Of whether they are twenty years
old or five years old, they are asses
sed for the same amount. Any man
Of common experience in the develop
ment Of the country knows that the
farmers in such a community do not
have the best Of personal property.

PETER BENSON REPLIES
TO PETER VANDENOEVER.


In order that the taxpayers Of Ware
county may not be misled by Mr.. Van.
denoever's letter, published in all the
papers of Ward county on April 9th,
have decided to make this reply.
The only assertion that l have ever
made is that the county commissioners
Of Ward county have unjustly raised
my personal property taxes on my
furniture for the year 1915. / will
attempt to give the facts here and let
the readers decide whether l am right
or wrong, and if I have a just cause
for complaint.
l happened to be the chairman of
the board of township supervisors of
Anna township during the year of
1915. Our assessor, Mr.. Van Sickle,
visited every home in our township,
and returned his assessments to our
board. At the time the said assess
ments were returned the board discus
sed the matter of furniture as found
in the respective homes. Mr.. Van
Sickle assessed my furniture at $500
and S. H. WiswelPs at $1,000. No
further assessments were made on
household furniture in our township
for the reason that the assessor did
not find any household furniture out
side Of the two homes he did assess
which had any furniture of market
able value, or which he considered
ought to be assessed, for instance, the
household goods consisted of home
made table, homemade stools, in
most cases nothing but grocery boxes,
home made beds, hinged on the walls
and covered with straw ticks, cup
boards made out of grocery boxes, old
cook stoves, bought years ago and
second-handed at that-such was the
furniture of the homes of Anna town
ship. The assessor as we'll as the
members of the board decided that
such household goods, although they
have some value to the owner because
they serve purpose, concluded that
able value. 1t was not our intention
nor did we endeavor to evade the full
assessment Of all personal property in
our township, but we could not con-
scientiously tax man for things
which had no commercial value.
AS soon as the tax assessments Of
Anna township came into the hands Of
the county commissioners they i'm
mediately called upon US to make fur
ther assessments on household goods
so as to raise the amount to $4,000.
We Immediately took the matter up
with them and had a personal inter-
view with the county commissioners
and we informed them that there was
no more household goods that we could
conscientiously tax in our township.
We told them what the household
goods consisted of in the homes where
no assessments on household goods
had been made. The county commits
sioners then raised my assessments
on my household furniture from $500
to $257.0O. The assessment in the first
place was reasonable assessment on
the household goods found in my
home, and which fact can be verified
by anyone who desires further proof.
The county commissioners did not con-
tend that | had been assessed too low
on household goods, but they did con-
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-05-11

$25O.0O, they will generally have
horses valued at $500; instead of
having a full-blooded cow, they will
have an ordinary COW, worth possibly
one-fourth as much, and still they pay
the same taxes on their property as
the richer man pays for his Well-bred
stuff.
Now, am not contending that Mr..
Vandenoever is in any way to blame
for this inequality, but in view of all
these inequalities which Mr.. Vanden-
oever cannot help, he ought not try to
double up the inequalities as he has
done in the case Of my own assess
ments on household goods. 1t is not
for the few dollars that I have been
required to pay that makes any par
ticular difference, in this case, it has
been paid and that matter has been
forgotten, but the principle of the
thing is what l am contendinr for.
More rights and more equity, and any
time Mr.. Vandenoever commits an act
such as he has committed, and then
comes out in a long article in every
newspaper in the county to justify
himself, we feel that we are justified
in coming back at him with all the
pegs in our shoes that we can put in,
and we are going to make them be
felt more seriously than Mr.. Vanden-
oever has any dream of.
1t is certainly gratifying to see that
the farmer is taking hold of things as
he has done the last few years. Every
class of people in this country have
received from the state some consider
alton, but the farmer has been left
out by himself; this, however, is
changing, and the man who produces
the wealth of this country is coming
to act, is making himself heard and
known. 1t is like an immense storm
sweeping from one end of this coun-
try to the other. It is wave of in
telligence that is rousing each and
every farmer. If Mr.. Vandenoever
cannot see this, if he cannot realize
and feel the tremendous storm he GER
tainly is blind to thes advancing pro-
gress. The handwriting on the wall is
just as plain now as it has been in
times past, and unless we are badly
mistaken, the farmer will soon be en-
.joying part of the wealth of the
world.
Respectfully yours,
PETER BENSON.
