AUDITORS FAVOR 4
COUNTY ASSESSOR
Believe a. More Equitable As

Ask Legislature to Act.

Pierre, s. D., March 27.-The county
auditors while in session before the
tax commissioner here the last week,
passed resolution favoring the enact
ment OF law providing for county
assessors, instead of the present sys-
tenn OF township assessors it is
thought that to have county asses
sor for each county will prove fairer
and more impartial way of making as
sessment, and it is contended now that
in many instances the township asses
sor, having but a small portion OF as
sess well acquainted with all his
neighbors. is open to Il good deal Of
laxity in making his assessment

whole county assessment and conse-
quently of much more general scope.
would be free from. There are now
some unorganized territory is located
but for all organized counties the sys-
tenn is township assessor. The auditors
resolution prayed the tax commissions
to have a bill for this feature pre-
pared and put before the next legis-
lative session.
Another resolution was passed by the
auditors. that they would in every way
possible block the passage of the con-
stitutional amendment providing for
a definite division Of property classi-

system over each. This is chapter 161
of the 1917 laws and comes before the
people for ratification this November.
The resolution also prayed that this
amendment be No. on the ballots at

dressed by Governor Norbeck. ex-

MENNoNlTEs ARE NOT
PLANNING TO MOVE

Memo, S. D., March 23.-Reports re-
Gently circulated throughout the coun-
try that the various Mennonite colonies
of South Dakota had decided to move
to Canada because the young colonists
OF military age had been drafted into
the military service of the United
States, are denied by D. j. Hendel one
of the leaders of the colonists.
He announces that the colonists are
not going to northwestern Canada for
two reasons. First, they will not go
unless they can get back all their
young men who are at Camp Fungton
and have others who yet are at home
exempted from the selective draft.
which at this time is impossible; sec
ond, that the trading Of their land in
South Dakota for Canada land can
not be concluded, it being required of
them that they take Canada land at
$50 per acre and give their land in
exchange at $50 an acre. The colony
lands in Yankton, Bon Homme and
Hutchinson counties are worth not less
than $500 an acre, and that in Han
son, Sanborn and BeadIe counties not
much less.
Inasmuch as the war is expected to
the colonists to be over before they
could perfect arrangements to dispose
of their land and secure sufficient land
In western Canada, they have con-
Guided that it is best to remain in
The United States and South Dakota.
They also realize that if they did go
to Canada, that country might in the
future be drawn into another war and
their young men would be required to
enter military service after being told
that they We're exempt only from the
last war. Therefore the colonist leaders
have decided that it might be only
another cabe of jumping from the fry
Ing pan into the fire, and accordingly
have decided to let we'll enough alone.
