IRREGULARITIES
LOST STATE BIG
TAX ASSESSMENTS
Carelessness in Describing Proper
ty Results in Two Adverse
Decisions
MINERAL RIGHTS CAN BE
TAXED IF LISTED RIGHT

The North Dakota tax commission
lost case but won partial victory
in the supreme court today, when all
opinion was handed down holding that
while mineral rights are legally tax
able, in the particular action under
consideratiOn-the Northwestern I'm.
provement Co. versus Oliver county
the method pursued in listing the min
eral rights for taxation was so faulty
as to render the assessment void
System Was Irregular. II.
The county auditor of Oliver after
the adjournment of the board OF equal.
izatiOn inserted in the assessors
books description of the property in
the name of the plaintiff, computing
the taxes thereon, and extended the
same on the tax list as taxes. He
then advertised the lands for sale for
delinquent taxes and did sell the same
at tax sale all without affording the
plaintiff an opportunity to be heard
on the assessment Therefore, the
court rules, the assessment is abso'
lute]y void.
State Has Right.
On the subject of the states right
to- assess mineral reserves, the court
ways: Where the grantor conveys
land, reserving mineral rights, such
reservation is an interest in the land
properly assessable against the grant
or from duty to pay tax on his reser'
vations.
The court also ruled that such HER
aglyphics as 'NW4-2-3-6-," commonly
used by county auditors in the des-
cription of lands do not constitute an
adequate or legal description and can
not be recognized as such by the SUI
preme court 1t is suggested that
this is matter with which the legis-
lature may we'll concern itself in it's
next session.
Great Northern Wins.
1t was an offday for the tax COM
mission in supreme court, Chairman
Packard's body also losing it's case
against the Great Northern railway,
Nash Bros. and Swift and Co., for
the assessment of property owned by
the wholesalers and jobbers on the
Great Northern right of way at the
Forks.
The court ruled that taxes are as
sessable against the lessons in addi'
ton to the railway company, but that
nothing had been established in the
description of the county aduitor to
mark out the property intended to be
assessed, and that the description was
so indefinite as to invalidate the as
sessment.
A considerable amount of taxes is
involved in each of these cases.

Girl Is Killed.
1t was not until the negroes reached
the outskirts of the city that the kill
ing began. Alma Reichert, Is years
old, the first victim, was shot by a
stray bullet as she was seeking safety
in store. Sixteen truck loads of
national guardsmen were rushed to
the seat of the trouble, and all the
streets were put under patrol.
More than 100 armed negro soldiers
were said to have hid under build

park. With their high.power rifles
they pursued their sniping tactics.

Those who saw the force of negroes
as they raided through the western

to the fences. They were shouting de-

Every time senator undertakes to
hamstring his government by block

credit on the motives of America or

to Petrograd and the Shiny creatures
that do Germany's work on the Field

They have been provided with

The machinery to get it quickly to

Special Commission.
For instance, the moment the spe-

Every conceivable lie about it, it's
objects, the men that composed it, the
government and people of the United
States, the aims of the United States
in the war, was turned loose by mail
upon Russia and battalion of agents
sent along to spread the poison and
see that it took hold.
Germany's desperate need was that
Russia should not be aggressive in
the war. Germany must therefore null

it, and there was the way to do it.
All these things show very plainly
the existence in this country of a

German machine.

1t is not for me to dwell upon a
situation that drives thoughtful men
abroad from their sleep, but ask you
merely these questions:
At this stage of the game, what do
you think would happen if Germany
were to break through that Russian
line?
And what can keep her from break

purpose of the Russian people?

If they waver again, say no bitter

slaughter and suffering that may fol-
