million worth of taxable property
would be added to the public revenue
resources of North Dakota by the
adoption of the Mees bill. sponsored
by the chairman of the committee on

property arising out of business trans
acted in the state assessable within
the state. The Louisiana law has
been through the supreme court of
the United States and has been held

ing would aggregate at least $500, 900.
