The statement Of State Auditor
Van Deusen to Governor Alexan-
der in submitting the minutes of
the board follows;
in submitting this, the first
annual report of the state board
of equalization's proceedings for
the year 1917, the same being the
first report published under the
direction of the writer, l desire
to call your attention to the fact
that his report contains both the
property listed on the real roll
and also on the personal property
roll, combined. This, l believe,
will do away with a great deal of
misunderstanding which has Oc-
Cured in the past, due to the
fact that the personal property
roll was not included in the re-
port.
81 desire, also, to call your at
tention to the fact that the min
utes of each meeting were writ
tes up, read for approval, and
signed by the chairman and Sec
retary of the board in open meet
ing each day during the session
Of the board. AS matter Of fact,
the minutes of the boards meet
ings in the years 1915 and 1916
were not written up until Deem
Der of the same year, and a great
many serious errors crept in, due
to the negligence Of my predeces-
sOr and the clerks in charge of
the equalization matters. l have
reason to believe that great
many thousands of dollars, which
had been properly approved by
the board, were left off the roll
and the minutes, resulting in a
loss of a good many thousands
of dollars to the state at large.
while I realize that this report
may not be perfect, still the er-
rors which have been shown by
the various county clerks are Sc
few and trivial in amount that
am satisfied this report is as near
perfect as it is possible for hu-
man beings to make it, which is &
matter of great satisfaction tC

FEW BELIEVE THAT
WILLARD WILL BOX
FULTON ANYWHERE

CHICAGO. Jan. 3I.-All observers Of
international affairs are agreed that
eventually peace will come out OF the
present strife in Europe, but ten hun
dred out of every thousand fight fans
throughout the country are pretty
thoroughly convinced today that Jess
Willard never will hght Fred Full
ton for the worlds heavyweight
championship.
This despite the fact that word
reached here today from Denver that
Fulton had signed articles there to
meet Willard in the Colorado me-
tro7ol;c next summer. Fulton mas
signed similar articles in New Orleans
and perhaps elsewhere, but the sign
ing has not brought him one step
nearer a bout with the champion.
About the time the BolsheYiki and
the Ksiser's henchmen were talking
peace at Brest LitoYsk, or wherever
Ii was, there did seem to be an indi-
cation or two that Jess and Fred
were drifting together. Jess was in
Chicago, and Fred was in St Paul, and
Fred had announced his intention OF
coming here for a parlay with the
gentle Jess.
Then the tall Minnesota lime
singer had to get mixed up in a
bout with Billy Miske, and his show
ing was by no means brilliant. Jess
Immediately announced that he did
not see how Fred could continue to
be figured as first-class Eeavy-
weight.
Fulton did not come TO Chicago,
but took a hot shot at Jess by de-
clarinE he was going to force the
champion to fight If he had to buy
tent and trsil Jess circus across
this broad land.
Here is the situation today:
There are several thousand miles
OF territory between Jess and his
foremost challenger. Most fans Wno
nave followed the course OF the
Naturalization negotiations are posi-
i've they are even further apart than
that, so far as actual fighting is con
cerned.

Certain IL was that George Wash

Saturday There was a lot OF poor
passing when the Hatchetites got con
troll of the ball, and accuracy III
