State Water Supply Commission in its
annual report, advance sheets of which
were made public to-day.
This and the announcement that
during 1915 only nine applications for
the incorporation of companies to
supply water to the public for domes-
tic purposes and three applications for
the incorporation of water companies
were approved by the commission, as
compared with maximum of $50 and
minimum ~ 100 in other years, are
the outstanding features of the re-
port. No reason for the big decrease
is given. Fifty-one applications for
the erection of new dams were. re-
ceived and 4S approved. OF the new
structures 8 exceed 40 feet, the larg-
est being 6S feet in height.
In order to prevent such catas-
trophies as those of Johnstown and
Austin, the commission has adopted a
comprehensive policy for the super
vision of dams but has been unable
to carry it out adequately due to lack
of appropriation The report goes
fully into the methods of the com
mission in this respect. Inadequate
appropriation for this important
work says the commission, is false
economy, for the reason that a single
dam failure may cause a greater loss
than the total cost for adequate
supervision for a generation. The inn
portance of careful supervision in this
line is brought out in the report which
sets forth that 4s5 applications for en-
croachments on streams were an
proved in 1915, of which 4O2 were for
bridges, 21 for fills and 62 for all other
purposes.
With regard to the Erie food, the
worst of the year, in which "a lives
were lost and property damaged to
the extent of at least S2,0OO,0OO, the
report says: 1T is believed this flood
would have passed off without un-
usual damage if it had not been for
the restricted and obstructed condi-
ton of the channel through the city.
The commission had previously called
the attention of the city officials to
the obstructed condition of the stream
and recommended that a. compre-
hensive plan for it's improvement be
prepared and submitted to the COM
mission, but nothing was done until
after the catastrophe had occurred" )"
With respect to the necessity of the
proposed survey, the commission says
that the State is now paying the pen
atty Of lack of supervision of streams
in early years and that nearly all food
damage attributable TO encroachments
had its inception before the passage
of the present law, and large ex-
penditures and long periods of time
will undoubtedly be required to over
come their harmful effects" Parti-
cularly in densely inhabited districts
does the commission urge the appro-
priation of money for the purpose of
establishing shore lines which never
may be encroached upon.
Employment Offices Moved. - The
Harrisburg Offices of the Bureau of
Employment of the Department OF

WASHINGTON IMPATIENT
OVER CARRANZA'S DELAY

Washington, April 4-Coincident
with the receipt tonight of news that
American troopers again had clashed
with force of Villa bandits near
Guerrero, it was learned at the state
department, that the United States
had renewed it's representations to
General Carranza regarding the ship
ment of supplies to Gen. Pershing
over the Mexican railroad.
A dispatch sent Sunday instructing
special agent, John l.. Rogers, of Que
retaro, to urge the head Of the de
facto government to fulfill immediate
ly his promise given last week to per-
nit commercial railroad OF the Amer
lean expedition, by giving the neces-
sary orders to Gen. Gavira at JuareZ
and other Mexican commanders in
Chihuahua.
With Gen. Pershing's lines of COM
munication constantly frightening. as
evinced today by the hunt for Villa
extending farther and farther south
ward, and the announcement that ad
ditional troops had been sent into
Mexico, the war department advised
the state department that it was es-
sential that the arrangement for the
use Of the railroad be concluded.

ExpectEarH
Reply From
Germany

Washington, April AFTER todays
meeting OF the cabinet, Il was stated
authoritatively that the United States
would expect prompt reply from
Germany to the inquiry regarding the
British channel steamer, Sussex, and
other vessels, which evidence before
the state department indicate were at
tackled by German submarines. 1t is
understood, however, that no attempt
will be made to define what course
the United States shall pursue until
a reasonable time is given for the
completion Of the investigation OF
which Ambassador Gerard at Berlin
has been informed the German gov
eminent is making. Secretary Lam
sing indicated that no action Of any
kind might be taken for at least sew
eral days.
Only in case there is unreasonable
delay, on the part of Germany in deny
ing or assuming responsibility for the
attacks, will any steps be contemplate
ed on the basis of the information al
ready gathered by the American en-
bassies at London and Paris.

SUPREME COURT
FROM cAss COUNTY.

State OF North Dakota, ex rel. Andrew
Miller as Attorney General, Plain
tiff and Appellant, VS..
Addison Leech, as County Auditor Of
Cass County, Defendant and Re-
spOndent.
Syllabus: Four light, heat and pow
er companies within Cass county In
1914 were locally assessed. There
after and on August 9Th 1914, the
State Tax Commission also filed pur-
pOraed assessments on said plants
and demanded that it's assessment be
taken without equalization by the
County or State Boards of Equaliza-
ton. The auditor however certified
to the State Board OF Equalization
both assessments, those made locally
and those filed by the Commission,
which board ignored the Tax Com.
missions assessment recertifying the
assessments as locally assessed. Man
damus was brought to compel rein
statement by the county auditor Of
the commissions assessment. The
writ was denied by the District Court,
from which the State appeals.
Subd. IA Of Sec. 2088, G. l.. 1913,
portion Of Chapter 302 S. l.. 1911, Gre

defining its powers and duties, de-
clares that at shall be the duty OF
the commission and 1t shall have
authority" (Subd ~ ITO assess at
their actual value all light, heat and
power companies doing business in
the state" The commission acted un.
der this statute. The county auditor
asserts said statute is demonstrations
al and void because In operation, as
here illustrated, it permits depriva-
ton OF private property without due
process Of law contrary to Sec. Is of
our State Constitution and also Art.
] of the 14th amendment to the Unit
ed States Constitution.
Held: % The defendant though
but ministerial officer and not per
sOnally interested in these assess
ments, must follow the law and must
under his official oath determine
which assessment Of the two is made
pursuant to law and may therefore
interpose this defense that the statute
Is unconstitutional and void under
which one of said two conflicting pur.
ported assessments Is filed.
(2) Said statute, (Subd. 14-Sec.
2088 c. l.. 1879, is unconstitutional
as vioiative OF due process Of law be-
cause no procedure Is provided by
law governing the exercise of taxing
powers in assessing under sale act,

any law is afforded for a hearing for
the property owner to be assessed.
He has no opportunity for redress, re-
lief or correction OF error in any er'
roneous assessment that this commits
sion might levy; and such unrestrict-
ed power of taxation may amount to
confiscation Of or its deprivation OF
property without due process OF law.
"a That the Tax Commission is
by statute required to be in session
at the State Capitol on all business
days does not save the statute from
being unconstitutional on said ground.
The party assessed is entitled to an
opportunity to be heard under the
law authorizing him to be taxed. No
burden is upon him to apply to be
heard where the law does not pro-
vide for hearing for. him. Nor that
he could have been afforded an extra
legal hearing had he applied for re-
lief against any excessive assessment
is of no avail. To be valid the statute
must provide for and designate the
time and place for opportunity to so
be heard that the property-hoder to
be assessed having notice and knoWl
edge of the law may appear and be
heard or be bound by his failure so
to do.
90 Where no right to such hear.
ing, before the assessment becomes
absolute, is afforded by the law to the
party assessed, the tax proceeding
and law authorizing it is arbitrary
and invalid as contrary to constitu-
tional guarantees against the depriva.
ton Of private property without due
process of law
CO. The State Tax Commission
has no power under said void statute
to levy or file this assessment and the
same is therefore void.

Cass county; Pollock, j. Affirmed.
