COUNTY GANG HELP
CORPORATION TAXES
SOME OF THE LARGER COMPANIES AS
SESSED TENTH OF VALUE-NEW
LAW WILL STOP PRACTICE

The effect of county gang rule and a striking
illustration Of how the people are being saved
excessive taxation under the new laws, has been
shown recently in tax assessments in Fargo,
Granl Forks and other cities and gang ruled
counties in the, state. .s.~s,-
A striking example of these things came to
light a short time ago in Grand Forks when
Lne assessed valuation Of the property of the
hed River Valley Power company became known
tnls year. The city assessor and the city coun-
Gil OF Grand Forks fixed the tax on this COM
Rany's property at $4,000; a. fair valuation
would have placed it at $23, 900 at least, or ten
times the amount fixed by the Grand Forks
authorities. -, ~
This power company valued this same proper
ty at more than $1,250, 900 when it testified be-
lore the railway commissioners. The compro-
mise valuation agreed upon at that time was
$961,0 600. The Grand Forks assessor valued
this property as follows:
Light Plant ..m .. ySS47. 900.
Gas Plant %
Instead of this $76,83o, the valuation of the
property, after making all possible deductions
shoull be at least 1897, $50.
Under the gang in control in Grand Forks
this has been going on for years. Last year
this property was assessed at $73,39O. The
state board OF equalization went the limit under
the laws then in existence which prevented any
considerable raise in valuation and a similar
raise was made, on all property of that class. It
raised the valuation to $85,225. This year un-
der the new law which says that such properties
shall be assessed at 100 per cent of their real
value, the state board of equalization will be
able to compel an enormous increase in the as
sessed valuation of this property and other cor
poratlon properties all over the state. This will
save the small property holders hundreds of
thousands of dollars in taxes. -

London, July 5.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press1-The last of the billion dollars worth of stores pur-i chased by the American army. in England will have been disposed of on August 1 in the opinion. of Major General J. C. Riddle. The American army Headquarters were closed June 15 and only, a small contingent of the quartermastef' department re- mained to cooperate with the Liquf- dation Commission in adjusting a few remaining contracts and selling supplies. Consequently by. August the army will cease to have a war interest in England. ..
 Immediately the armistice was signed We began to cancel and adjust contracts and in this. work had such hearty cooperation from the British war office that the United tates has been able to clear up it's contracts very advantag geously," said General Riddle. -tOnly a few of them remain to be adjusted.
