The railroad values in the state are
fixed by the director general at $780,
620,832. If the % per cent rate
which he charges has been used in
the assessment Of other properties in
within the class that embraces
railroads, had been applied to rail-
roads also, then the assessed valua-
ton would have been only $51,721,-
$50.
ITO assess the properties owned by
said (railroad) companies now in pos
session and control Of the plaintiff
(the director general of railroads) at
more than 20 per cent of the true and
full value thereof, would result. in an
unlawful discrimination against the
plaintiff in favor of the owners Of
n~on-railway properties within the
state of North Dakotas*"
Referring again to the increase in
the value of railroads, Director Gen.
eral Hines points out hat in 1910 the
valuation was only $5~O,S98,647, the
increase to 1918, when it was ST.
5S2,971, being over SO per cent.
The following statement shows the
tax that has been levied against the
i've railroads in each county in the
state. and the portion of that tax
which the railroads have admitted is
legal, and which they have paid, the
balance. in each instance, being at is

TRADE EXPERTS

High Prices in British Co
lumbia Among Commercial
Problems Investigated.

Golden, B. c., March 14.-Many in
teresting observations. have been
made by industrial and commercial
experts studying trade conditions in
this territory as Golden is known as
the natural trade divisional point be-
tween the Canadian northwest and
the Canadian far west.
Protests against the maintenance Of
nigh prices are constantly heard, and,
according to local merchants, the
most significant feature of trade in
this district Is the fact hat practical
~ all of the buying is for immediate
delivery.
The light snowfall all winter ham

sultant reduction in the number of
men employed was an offset to nor

dropping. while the cost Of finished
leather articles has been increasing,
has caused rather warm comment.

Efforts have been made to develop
mining industries but it is expected
that no big projects will be launched
until after the dominian parliament
acts upon the reconstruction problem

was signed because the parties in

COTTON GROWERS
FEAR A DROP TO
PRE- WAR PRICES

Dallas, Tex, March 14.-Fearing
cotton prices will sink near the pre-
war levels, unless measures are taken
to prevent it, Southern cotton growers
are joining in a movement for gener-
al reduction of 1919 acreage. In
Texas the move has taken the form
OF a pledge to reduce acreage to two
thirds of that Of 1918. The state
agricultural department is emphasiz-
ing the benefits of planting grain on
the acreage thus saved.
The government crop report placed
last years Texas production at $780,
600 bales. Cotton was around 35
cents a pound|at the close Of the pick
ing season, but many growers and
some spectators felt it would reach
40 cents and did not sell. Prices fell,
however. with the signing of the ar
mistice and since then have been wav-
ering between 21 and rs cents.
Bankers who loaned money to
growers found their security dimin-
ished, and plantation owners found
their crops Of less value than when
harvested. Texas growers estimate
there r 100000 bales stored by
individuals and in 1.-The congresses.
They declare much of this has been
damaged by winter rains.
While cotton at FL to % cents is
higher than before the war, growers
say production cost is so much high
er that they will lose money at 20
cents a pound.
Last years government reports
placed the Texas acreage at 1885,
900. By reducing this :. one-third,
bankers and agriculturists feel that
prices can be held to a point hat will
bring a profit and also bring a higher
price for the unmoved crop of 1918.

WOULD REQUIRE
GERMANY TO DROP
HOLD in Using TAO

Paris. March 14.-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-The supreme council.
has virtually decided to include in
the preliminary treaty of peace a re-
quirement that Germany shall re-
linquish her leasehold of Using Tao
and all properties and concessions on
the Shantung peninsula.
No attempt, it is understood, will be
made to render a decision as to ulti-
mate possession which is now the
subject of a controversy between the
Japanese and Chinese delegation in
Paris. The former holds that Japan
acquired the leasehold by right of
conquest yer the German forces
there, although she is willing to per-
nit the ultimate status of the Shan
tung peninsula to be determined by
the peace conference, China contends
the lease was automatically can
celled by the expulsion Of the Ger
mans, who originally acquired it by
force and that the property reverts to
China.
