ASSESSORS OF COUNTY
ARE POSTED ON WORK
Representative of State Tax Com
mission Informs Them of
Duties

The assessors of Stevens county
held their annual meeting at the
court house on April IA. Henry A.
S. Ives, secretary of the Minnesota
Tax Commission, conducted the meet
ing and explained the laws relative
to the listing and assessment of per-
sonaI property and money and cred
it's. Real estate is not assessed this
year.
This is the conference which the
law requires the tax commission to
call each year, and the assessors are
paid three dollars and mileage for
attendance.
Mr.. Ives said in part:
'"The power to tax is the power
of the state to enforce proportional
contributions from persons and pro-
perty for the support of the govern
ment and for all public needs. With
out this power there can be no state.
The mere fact that it is exercised in
a community denotes the existence
of organized government and it is,
therefore, the very heartstone of our
present day civilization. Upon this
power the whole national fabric is
based Eliminate the things taxa
tion has supplied, such as schools,
courts, roads, public works, protec-
tion of life and property, and there
would remain nothing but a wilder
ness, society would distintegrate,
anarchy would succeed law, and
chaos would take the place of order.
'Tn the United States the author
ity to impose taxes rests with the
sovereign people. Through the in
strumentality of the governmental
organization which the people have
set up to control and regulate their
affairs, the people impose taxes upon
themselves for the maintenance Of
the state and it's various subdivisions
At any time, acting through the
agencies which they have themselves
provided, the people may change,
alter, modify or repeal the existing
system or scheme of taxation and
may adjust levies and expenditures
at will. This is democracy.
''In Minnesota, the people have de-
creed through the constitution Of the
state that all real and personal pro-
perty, except a few items specifically
exempted, is subject to taxation; and
the legislature, composed Of elective
representatives Of the people, is auth
orized to make rules and regulations
as to the classification and the list
oP "
''It is these rules and regulations
that we have come here today to dis
cuss. They are not arbitrary pre-
cepts imposed by an autocratic pow
er. On the contrary they are the
mandates of the whole people ex-
pressed through the medium Of leg
islative enactment. They were form
ulated to promote and assure justice
and equality in the distribution Of
the tax burden, and it is the sworn
duty of officials delegated to enforce
them to follow their terms strictly.
The pathway is broad and straight
and none of us can afford to wander
from it, much less Intentionally dis
regard it.
''The chief duty of the assessor is
in the administration Of the general
property tax. The theory Of this tax
is that every person should contri-
butte to the support of the govern
ment in proportion to the value Of
the property owned by him which is
subject to taxation. If then con-

PROHIBITION WILL BE A MAIN TOPIC
 BEFORE CONGRESS
Some Members Want More Drastic Clauses Inserted, While Others Would
 Continue Fight
By Associated Pres.

Washington, June 29.-While President Wilson's announcement last night that he would not lift the ban on wartime prohibition until the army was demo- bilized provoked a storm of varying comment in congressional circles, there were no indications tonight of any con- csrted move to obtain immediate consid- eration by the house of enforcement leg islation.
 Indeed. the general view was that there was law enough for the present, and that the House would adhere to the plan out lined by leaders to let the whole prohi- bition question go over until after the holiday recess, which may begin tomor- row night or Tuesday.
 Members opposed to the drastic provi- sions of the measure reported out by the judiciary committee, gave notice today that they would endeavor to have these stricken out on the floor. From the other side came intimations that in some re- spects the bill was not strict enough, and 1t was said an amendment would be offered to eliminate the section which would permit a citizen to store liquor in his own home. and the other clause. which would make it's use lawful
