Have you noticed how carefully the
Townley press juggles figures? A
great noise is made about the high
tax rate of Minnesota as compared
with that of North Dakota Only the
superficial is spread before the read
ers. The real truth is that North d.
kota's taxes are tremendously high
err than Minneota's and the part COW
cred by the Nonpartisan press is the
fact that while the tax rate has been
seemingly held in check in North Da-
kota valuation of property has been
increased enormously, in some cases
more than five times, as for instance,
Ransom comfy with a valuation in
1918 Of $4,542, $3.50 shot up in 1919 to
$23, 797,821. By this sort of juggling
the league administration Of North
Dakota may be able to hoodwink the
outsider but the man in that league
ridden state who foots the bill will
wonder why his taxes are high when
hi tax rate is advertised as beinf so
comparatively low. Do we want
Townley's tax jugglers to monkey
with Minnesota tax rate ?-Franklin

of Manhattan and the Bronx, Justice
E. Newberger, who was denied re-

Richmond, with 204 districts lacking
out of 954, A. L. Squiers, republican,
had 124,564 and George S. Bowling,
