NOVEL TAXING
PROPOSITION
(By Fl. D. Paulson.)


Bismarck, N. D., March IA novel
proposition in the matter of taxation
is proposed in the amended S. B. No.
40, as presented by the house commit
tee on taxes and tax laws. and which
was passed by the house yesterday.
This bill provides for the classical
ton of property for taxation purposes,
and as 1t passed the senate, it fixed
the basis for assessment at various
percentages of the actual value.
For cities, however, a proposition is
advanced that the citizens shall them
selves determine the ratio of value
that shall be used in fixing the assess
ment. Twenty pet1cent of the actual
value is the starting point fixed by the
act, but any city can alter that per-
centage by holding an election, though
5 per cent is the minimum percentage
that may be used.
Objection has been raised to the
amended measure on the theory that
it would create discriminatory rates of
assessment between the same class Of
property in various sections Of the
state.

Christian Science Monitor: Abraham
Lincoln, as everybody knows, was long
and lanky; Stephen A. Douglas was
short and chubby. Their presence to-
gether at q county seat on one occa--
sion gave the other lawyers. in an idle
hour, an opportunity to char them in
directly. Thus, the conversation was
turned to the question of harmonious
physical proportions. Some, having
Douglas in view, contended for short
legs; others, meaning to draw Lincoln
out, contended for long legs. Neither
of the intended butts" took part in the
discussion, until one Of the Jokers turn
ed TO Lincoln and said:
Nov, Abe, what 10 your opinion Of
the proper length of mans leEs?''
.'My opinion" drawled the lanky law
yer, us that. to be just about right. =
mans legs should be long enough %
reach the ground"
There are, Of course, many versions
of this story, but this is the way one
of Lincoln's law partners, Leonard
SWEET, used to tell It.
