Bill
43 OPPOSED
BY KOSlTzKY
Provides for 100 Per Cent
Assessment on Full Value
Of Unused Land.
fBv star Correspondent

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. State
Auditor Karl Kositzky appeared be-
fore the joint tax committees this
morning and made strenuous objec-
tons to Senate Bill 43, thel leagues
re-classif1cation act which provides q
100 per cent assessment OF n fuil
value Of all unused lane and all rail-
roads and other public utilities and a
tax of 60 per cent Of all used land,
Kositzky' declared that it was
wrong to have different valuations Tor
different property and that h bill
was too complicated to be applied
smoothly and without trouble; There
should, be a fiat rate he said for all
farm land whether used or not n
city land. Prof. 'Roylance, who out
lined Townley's tax program and drew
up the bills declared that If this bill
passed and everything else was done
the. taxes would be doubled. .
Senator Mees who Saturday failed
to kill the one man tax commission
bill, moved that all farm lands be
placed in n class but he later with
drew the motive and the question was
not settled today. The committee Sat
urday refused. to indefinitely postpone
the one man tax commission bill and
1t probably will come into the senate
without much change. The bill II
made a special order for tomorrow
morning however, at which time the
committee probably will definitely de-
eide what to do with it. The house
educational committee is considering
the teachers certificate bill and viii

ent of public instruction. will not ap'
