More About Taxes

| Supporters of the new charter have distributed
on the streets circular (Which print in this is
sue) purporting to show comparison of the pres
ent tax system with the charter tax system and
in this circular it is attempted to make the people
believe that under the charter their taxes are
going to be reduced The author-of this circular.
in order to show comparison which would force
slight reduction in the TAX RATE, ASSUMES
an increase in tax assessments of ONE AND ONE
HALF MILLION DOLLARS in ONE YEAR, which
ASSUMED increase is just three times as much for
one year the tax values of this city have increased
IN eleven years. We publish elsewhere statement
showing the actual assessed value of city property
for each year from 1909 to 1919 both inclusive The
assessments in 1909 amounted to $3254 OCT and in
1919 to $3,75O,513 an increase in eleven years of
$496,446, an average yearly increase of $40, 1873
These are actual figures taken from the City Tax
Digest and the auditors reports on file in the City
Office Notwithstanding these actual figures which
the author of this circular should have known, or
at least could have easily ascertained he blithe
ly ASSUMES that the tax values of this city are
going to increase 81 100000 in year. and starting
from this ASSUMPTION, he proceeds to try to make
the taxpayers believe that their taxes are actually
going to be reduced It's really too absurd to talk
about any further.
The statement published on the front page of this
issue shows an actual comparison covering a period
of eleven years, of the maximum amount of taxes
for general purposes authorized by the two charters
Which would you rather have, Mr. Tax Payer,
charter under which your taxes actually increased
from $13016 to $15002 per year in eleven years,
one under which your mayor and council, without
any limitation restriction of any kind or character
could have increased your taxes during the same
period of eleven years from $13,016 to $33751 per
year, and also during the same period could have
increased your tax rate from 40 cents to 80 cents
an increase of 1875 per cent? You will have the
chance to answer September 22nd, next.

not seem to enjoy the company Of
other members of the North Dakota
delegation, according to information
which leaked out here. He may have
attended some Of the numerous meet
ings, but it is not reported that he
was seen in any of them in company
with other North Dakotans.
Other members of the delegation,
however, feel that considerable good
resulted from the conference in the
campaign for bettcr-paid and better
trained teachers. The conference was
of education of the United States
Reports were made that the country
faces a shortage of 100000 teachers
next year.
The feeling was expressed at the
conference that revival of interest in
educational matters in the country is
in progress, which will result in the
centering of more public attention
on the school system.
The North Dakota representatives
in addition to Rev" Totten, were:

Professor Davis is engaged in ex-

be built at Langley Field, Va, where
the expensive gas after use in the mil
tary lighter-than-ai craft may be
washed free of impurities and used

Y. Hensley, of the War Department.
indicate that it will be possible for
passengers to 60 by airship overland
at a cost of about cents mile, at
a speed of 6S to 20 miles an hour.
"The advent of the arship as re-
gular passenger carrier is much near
er than many persons in this country
realize" said Mr.. Davis. 81 shall be
surprised if the coming summer does
not see line of airships in operation
by an English firm between the Unit
ed States and the British Isles and I
have no doubt whatever that year
from now you will see regular weekly
sailings. ..,
"By the use of the helium gas all
danger of disaster from explosions
such as have wrecked big balloons fill
ed with hydrogen will be averted.
There will be no fear of ignition OF
the gas by bullets, lightning or sparks
from the engine. In fact it is point
ed out that the engines may be plac
ed inside the outer shell of the dirigi-
BILE, and that except for observation
purposes no car need be carried out

While the present cost Of producing
helium is about ten times that of hy-
drogen, Professor Davis believes that
development of it's manufacture will
result in a cheaper product. Helium
will be used to furnish the lifting pow

the Navy Department expects to oh.
