us. PRESS CUTS
PAPER USAGE
Economy Brings Saving of
9,565 Tons of Newsprint.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Publlshers,
largely through the introduction Of
economies, decreased the amount Of
newsprlnt paper used last month by
1856 tons, as compared with the amount
used in November, the federal trade
compassion revealed today in its monthly
pewsprint paper review for December.
Production during December was 122,-
7s1 tons, an increase Of 21, 746 tons over
November
Although publishers stocks decreased
4,061 tons during the month, this was
offset partly by an increase Of 3572
tons In transit over that at the close
of November.
Total print paper production in 1919
was 1,374,517 tons, as compared with
1,260,2S5 tons in 1918.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. 26.-As a
result of an agreement reached between
the Canadian government and the Ft.
FRANCES Paper Manufacturers, the Win
nipeg newspapers will continue publ
cation. Restricted editions, from which
all advertising will be excluded, will be
issued today.
According to reports from TT Frances
three carloads of newsprint were shipped
to Winnipeg Saturday night. These, 1t
is said, will be followed by shipments
of the full quota allotted to western
Canada customers which will permit all
papers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan
to resume regular publication after q
suspension of more than ten days
Details OF the agreement with the
paper manufacturers have not been made
pubic, but 1t includes a clause whereby
the embargo on exporting newsprint into
the United States was raised on Sun
day.

GIaring Irregularities in the valuations
of farm lands in Marion county become
apparent on comparison of the valuations
of land revalued by the state board of
tax commissioners on petition of the own
ers and valuations of adjoining land
made by the township assessor.
Comparison Of the values of farm land
show that they were more or less uniform
before the tax board revalued certain
farms without changing the valuations of
those adjoining. In some cases farms
are valued at nearly twice as much per
acres as farms Immediately adjoining.
The farm of James I. Alexander, In
Center township, Marion county, contains
twenty acres. The new valuation placed
on it by the tax board is $4,000. This Is
for land only, no attempt being made to
compare valuations Of improvements. Adj
Joining is the Il. H. Alexander farm,
which was not revalued. This farm con
tains ten acres and the land alone was
valued at $1,000. Another ten-acre farm
; Immediately adjoining, owned by Fred
Eusey and John and Cora Hauck, was
valued at S5,000.s
WIDE DIFFERENCES
MADE IN FIGURES.
In other words, a farm revalued by the
tax board is given a price of $500 an
acre for taxation, while two farms imme'
diately adjoining are valued at $500 an
acre for taxation.
Laura F. r. Briggs owns a Center
township farm containing 429 acres. ac-
cording to the records of the tax board.
The valuation of the land only of this
farm was reduced by the board from
$23 900 to $10,2s0 Adjoining this farm,
according TO records IN the office of the
township assessor, is a farm owned by
Julia f. R. Haueisen. The farm con
tains 5261 acres and is valued at S263OO.
1t was not revalued by the state tax
board
In this case the Briggs farm Is valued
for taxation at $297 an acre and the
adjoining farm Is valued for taxation at
S499 an acre.
Still another example of unequal valu-
ations may be found by a comparison
of farm owned by Harry o. Browser
and one owned by Jesse Koldyke. Both
are in Center township and only fence
separates them.
ASSESSORS VALUATION
CUT MANY THOUSANDS.
The Bowser farm, which contains 1884
acres, was valued by the tax board for
Sc 9T0 after the assessor had placed a
valuation Of s16340 on 1t. The valuation
of the tax board equals sos an acre.
The Koldyke farp was not revalued
by the tax board 1t contains forty
acres and is valued by the assessor at
$4,000. or $500 an acre.
A large number of farms We're re-
valued by the board Of tax commission
ers at the request Of the owners In
every case valuations were reduced. The
| three examples referred TO were the
first three looked up. The books at the
courthouse show that the valuations of
the township assessor are fairly uniform.
With this condition existing it is in
evitable that large reductions in valu-
ations on the part Of the state tax boara
in every case mean inequalities in valu-
ations.
