DOINCS AT STATE CAPITAL

Interest at Bismarck continues to
center in the work of the State Board
OF Equalization. The new members OF
the State Board are proceeding with
caution and securing all the light
possible upon the many perplexing
problems before them. One thing
seems quite certain at the present
time, that is, that there will be no in
crease in the assessed valuation of
real estate. Some members Of tie
Board were inclined to the heller that
an increase in real estate was nAces-
sary, but q majority Of the members
Of the Board were very outspoken in
their opposition to this plan.
= The information furnished by the
State Tax Commission showing that
the average return upon capital in
vested in farm lands in North Dakota
is less than S per cent after allow
ing the farmer $50 a month for labor
and management has convinced the
majority Of the members Of the
Board that any such increase would
be an injustice. On the other hand,
much property in the state makes a
very much larger return and the
Judgment of, the Board is that it
should be subjected to a higher bur
den.
/. The Board has adopted a schedule
for the assessment of. telephone SUBJ
mitted by the Tax Commission and
based upon the actual cost of con-
prior to the beginning of the
present war. This schedule will
work a very large increase in the
assessed valuation Of toll lines and
the larger exchanges. Rural lines will
not be seriously affected as the data
by the Tax Commission
shows that they have been generally
overassessed.
The railroad tax commissioners
were given a hearing by the State
Board on Tuesday and were much
over the contemplated in
crease Of the tentative assessment
which was sent them by the Board
some time ago. The proposed assess
ment by the State Board increases
their valuation from about AN mil
to nearly 50 millions. It Is
probable that some alterations may
be made in this tentative assessment
BY the Board but on the whole it ap-
pears now as though the assessment
would not vary greatly from the ten
tative figures Of 50 millions.
Telegraph, express sleeping car and
car companies will undoubted-
y come in for q big raise. i seems
probable that the raise on this class
will be in sxcsss OF, 100 Per cent
st seems probable that uss state
Board will Increase pubhs ser
nee corporations more than 20 per
rent Of their total assessment.

wheat this year ranged from $500 to
$3.50 q bushel, a

wheat this year ranged from $500 to
$3.50 a bushel.
Commissioner Hagen after careful
investigation has arrived at the con-
clusion that a IL bushel yield of
wheat this year will cost the far
mers $24.00 an acre or $500 a bushel.
Add to this a profit and it is hard
to see how the farmers can be entitled
to less than 1925 and $3.50 a bushel
for a IL bushel yield. If the yield
of the state is less than IL bushels,
the selling price will range upwards
of $500. Every effort is being made
by the administration to get the pro-
per facts before the commission at
Washington and secure a sufficiently
high price for wheat to insure a
large acreage next year.

TO new SOLDIERS
By OLD SOLDIER, in Chicago Herald

What shall a man select to do and
how shall he act when ordered to a
rendezvous? Do exactly as you are
told and be ready to act promptly.
Before you leave home take a
couple of suits of underwear, several
pairs Of wooden socks, two towels, a
comb, tooth brush and powder, some
soap, a clothes brush and a shaving
outfit. This toilet outfit is now issued
by the regular army to recruits, but
there may be a shortage of recruit
kits" for the national army, so it is
well to be provided beforehand. In
addition, take a kit for cleaning your
rifle. The best kit consists of a
shaving brush, several wooden rags, a
strong cord to use as a "pull
through" and a small stiff brush SINH
lar to a hand brush. When you get
there your instructors will tell you
what kind of oil to buy for your
gun.
When you report for duty, wear
your oldest clothes, as all clothes the
recruits bring with them will be fumi-
gated. After you have been issued
uniforms, the civilian clothes you
bring with you must be disposed of,
as you are not allowed to wear them
in the barracks. If yo4 have nice curly
locks that you r fond of, and allow
them to grow long like a poets just
sacrifice them on the altar of patriot
ism. You may as we'll do it before
you go, as long-haired soldiers are
taboo in the army and you are going
to have those pretty locks of yours
shorn after you arrive.
Take about five dollars in currency
with you. Instead of taking several
boxes of scented stationery with, just
take about a dozen stamped envelopes
and have two or three sheets of paper
in each envelope. When you write
home you have only to take out an
envelope and you have all the stuff
you need; besides, a box in the way.
Ask the folks back home to send you
stamped and addressed envelope and
. couple of sheets Of paper in every
letter they send you. This will save
you from carrying around stamps and
stationery.
Be sure you know the company and
regiment you are assigned to before
YOU write home. "John Smith, Fort
is a vague address and
letters sent him are sure to go astray:.
When you arrive in camp you will be
in a detention barracks for
three weeks for observation and treat
ment. This is for the purpose of al
any contagious disease you
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-08-30

will bring with you to develop where
it will not spread around the camp.
You will not be alone. Hundreds of
others will be in the same fix, but
each company Of men in the detention
camp will be kept apart from the
others. Now, this camp is not your
permanent address. When you leave
there you may 60 to a provisional
regiment for a short stretch of train
ing before you are permanently as
signed to a unit.
Here is where the confusion in ad-
dressing letters comes in. A civilian
doesn't know all about this and can
only send the letters to the place or
company you give him. Ask some
non-com how to have your letters ad-
dressed, so that when you are trans
ferred from n place to another your
mail will follow you. Any time you
change leave your change of address
with the military postmaster. The
letters you get from your friends you
must keep sacred to yourself. It is
no ones business but your own what
transpires in your home. In your
new surroundings, with everything
strange to you, a fellow is likely to
lose mental poise for a time and take
everyone into his confidence. Don't
do this. .g
When a girl sends you her picture,
don't show it around as a proof that
you are a regular devil with the
ladies. This will get you in bad at
nee. They have an unprintable name
for just such fellows. A'few stunts
like this and you will be the joke Of
the company. In spite of al you hear
about immortality in the service, you
will find that most of the men are
clean livers and clean thinkers. To
make light of woman is the worst
thing a man in the service can do. A
"chicken hound" is detested, and he
won't brag much about the Juror he
creates among the ladies before some
other buck will pick a scrap with him
and clean him up. !
Don't try to be a bully. No matter
if you are as big as "Jess" Willard,
some egg in the company is going to
trim you and bring you down to his
size. The fellow who will come back
wearing the medals of honor will be
the gink that is going around asking
everybody's pardon while he is in the
camp. Look out for the quiet guy
and don't pick on him. I've seen
these little, quiet. unassumming guys
put up an awful battle when they get
'thet up" and I have never saw a,
of that type lose.

Improvements on real property will
probably remain very much the same
as last year but it is probable that
there will be some increase on per-
sonal property. Some classes of per-
sonal property such as bank stock,
elevators on rights of way, mills and
stocks of merchandise generally
especially stocks of lumber and
machinery will be materially iincreas-
ed. The Board will have no difficulty
in securing enough assessed valuation
to secure the revenues necessary to
run the state without an increase in
real property.
Some difficulty was occasioRed over
the question as to whether or not
under the row law providing for the
listing Of real property every other
year, the State Board could put the
new property schedule into effect
next year. Attorney General LANCER
is Of the opinion that this law does
not interfere at all with the classifi-
cation law and that next year 80
per cent Of the assessment upon real
property and certain other properties
and that the 20 per cent assessment
upon farm lands and household goods
can be put into effect without any
difficulty so that it will not be neces-
sary to raise real estate this year in
order to comply with the law which
will be in effect for the next assess
ment. ~

newspapers of the state about the
personal patriotism of Governor
Frazier. Governor Frazier delivered
short address Saturday night at
the Farmers Cooperative Hall at
Still in Burleigh~ County in which he
his personal views upon the
war. Governor Frazier believes that
this is a war for democracy-that it
is being fought to make the world
safe for democracy-that it is the
of every loyal American to con-
tributed his mite towards it's success
conclusions. In this as in many
other subjects which I have heard
Governor Frazier make, his personal
toward the war is that it is q
righteous and just. war and that it
should be vigorously prosecuted by
the United States.
