Under the title "The Protocol

Under the title "The Protocols
of the World Revolution" the
firm of Small, Maynard and Co.,
of Boston, has published an
American edition of the work at
tributed to Professor Nilus, pre-
tending to describe the doings of
the so-called elders of Zion
a work which has been fttingly
scored in articles by Lucien Wolf
and Professor Solomon Reinach
which were recently published in
these columns. Of course the un-
speakable Ford organ, the Dear
born Independent, accepts this
tissue of falsehood and forgery as
gospel truth. The Christian Sci
ence Monitor impairs its reputa-
ton for fairness and truthfulness
by sympathetic treatment of
this libe1.-Jewish Exponent.

the films are being shown, has
been crowded every night by
men and women, hopeful that per-
haps of the hundreds of persons
shown in the films, they may see
some of their people from whom
they have not heard since the out
break of the war.
At each performance, men and
women in the audience have rec
ognized their relatives, some
times father or mother, sister
or brother, sometimes an old
schoolmate. The tragic intensity
by which they hail their folks,
brought so close to them by the
films Tin some cases they had
been given up for dead), is one
of the dramatic features of the
picture, crowded as it is, with
tragedy, pathos, humor and deep
human interest.
Although the film is scheduled
for an indefinite run in New York,
plans are being made to show
it later in the larger Jewish cen
ters throughout the country, so
that all may get an opportunity
to see this epic of the Jewish race
in Poland.

ish sheets that may appear, and to
tell the world the truth about our
selves, the real condition of Jew
ry, our hopes and aspirations.
We must also show up our enc
mics, show the fair-minded
American public the true charac-
ter of the vile creatures who are
trying to spread this new poison
in our republic. There should be
no difficulty in showing UP Hen
ry Ford, his Grass ignorance, his
peculiar attitude and antics dur.

able to get at the fellows back Of

about them, too. Let the world
know the villains and their viii

IF the Bnai Birth in combina-
ton with other national bodies,
such as the u. A. Fl. c. and the
C. C. A. R. have something like
that in view, and are planning
and preparing for that, it will be
the duty of every self-respecting,
loyal Jew to make a generous
contribution to the cause. But
we wish to know that something
of that nature is contemplated. In
Our humble opinion no other eff

We heartily congratulate the
Minneapolis Y. M. & Y. w. H. A.
upon the very attractive and in
teresting Rosh Hashonoh number
of their Bulletin. It is very
gratifying demonstration of the
ability, energy, and good judg-

the two organizations. We hope
that this year will see the full
realization of their ambition to
have home and center for their
activities.

LETTER FROM
INC. ASSESSOR

You are accustomed to hear about
the Assessor who fails in his duty and
does not assess the property in his
district according to law. Further
more the average taxpayer not only
blames the assessor for assessing his
property out of proportion to his
neighbors, but for the high taxes he is
compelled to pay.
Assessors have nothing to do with
public expenditures, hence are in no
way to blame for necessary nor waste
iul use of public moneys.
His duty ends with the assessment
of every item of real and personal
property in his district at its true mar
ket or cash value. II he assesses one
taxpayer or class of taxpayers at
fifty per cent and the others at one
hundred per cent, then he has wrong
ed those assessed at full value, be-
cause necessarily the last named are
called upon to pay the tax of the first.
If every taxpayer could have placed
on his tax receipt just how much he is
contributing more than his share we
would soon have relief.
SO many assessors in Bayfield, Coun-
ty did good work in 1919 that we feel
they are entitled to praise and special
mention.
The taxpayers of Bayfield, County
should know what officers are donig
their full duty. Many things are ac-
complished through a full value as
sessment. First Of all equality of val
uation, which means an equitable ap-
portionment of taxes.
Then, as we shall attempt to bring
out later. a proper ratio of assessment
to sales or true value of real estate,
which constitutes eighty-two per cent
Of all property subject to taxation.
This means saving when it comes to
the state assessment and at least a
more certain and equitable county ap-
rsortionment.
We want the men mentioned to have
full credit for their work and assure
you that they have saved their dis
tricts and the county in both State and
County taxes, In addition to this
they have compelled each taxpayer to
pay on the basis of what his property
Is truly worth. as is contemplated un-
der our tax laws.
Following the name of the district
and the assessor therein we give the
percentage of his assessment to true
W 11yo.

The Great Auto Show

Minneapolis, Jan. 5.--Ten acres
of Florida with its sunshine and
flowers and palm trees will be set
down in the heart of a Minnesota
winter. when the Twin City Auto
mobile, Truck, Tractor and Indus.
trial Exposition holds forth at the
Overland Building, Midway, the
week of January sl-February z.
The wizsrdry of the decorator who
is dressing up the interior of the
great Overland Building for the
show is responsible for the tropical
aspect that will delight the eye of
the visitor. More than 10000
electric lights, great rows of potted
plants, cut flowers, smilax and ornate
decorations will combine to form the
most pleasing scheme of Identification
ever seen in show place, the decor
ator promises.
And in this novel setting will be
found no less than five great shows
rolled into one. Passenger cars,
commercial cars, tractors. accessories
and industrial displays will make up
the contents of the FIVE floors.
The management has been inn
pressing upon prospective visitors
the fact that this exposition will
afford guest an opportunity inn
possible anywhere else. Here under
one roof, he may find dizzying array
OF exhibits that could be viewed in
no other way, except by travelling
hundreds of miles, spending large
sum for expenses and giving up
weeks of time. Even the other
great national shows have not this
advantage, because they show no
tractors or tractor. drawn implements
nor do they attempt showing of i'm
dustrial products
Although the opening day of the
show is more than two weeks in the
future, the management is assured ol
the greatest patronage that ever
favored an automobile enterprise.
Hotels of st. Paul and Minneapolis
will be packed for the whole week
and the Minneapolis Civic and Com
merce nssociation has listed every
available room in both towns for the
comfort and convenience of the
stranger within the gates.
There will be lots of music, plenty
of lights and dancing rything to
cheer the visitor from the first te
the fifth floor. The carnival spirit
will be in the air al eight days of the
show. The whole northwest seems
prepared to answer the management,

ner have too low on assessment of
personal property. Both classes
should be treated the same.
(a)-For equality and uniformity
these districts rank the highest While
the percentage in Pratt lis low, Mr..
Nessett did excellent work in equali-
zation.
The assessors in the district named
and marked (a) have done a great
work. They have left the 'Path of
the Wandering Calf" and paved the
way toward ideal amusements. They
are entitled to credit for having made
the first assessments, worthy Of men
tion in Bayfield, County.
Sixteen districts out of twenty-six
with good assessments illustrates that
one county can have all districts as
sessed according to law.
Assessors in many other districts
did very good wark. The assessment
in the Town Of Bayfield, was decided
improvement over 1918 and is very
well equalized. The percentage is but
1915. principally because its wild
lands are all assessed ON too low a
basis.
The old argument that "a high local
assessment will bring a high state
assessment is abS0lete.
Our state equalization is based on
the five years sales acreage. We pre-
sent herewith the sales of Bayfield,
County for the years 1914 to 1918. The
State assessment for bayfield, County
for 1919 was as follows: Personal
Property $S,717,910. Real Estate $21,-
269,908. Total Property $24,9S7, ,S18.
You will note that the real propertz
assessment is $83S,276 less than the
Total True Value for the Ave year Pc
|riod. We secured this reduction on
account of the depletion in value OF

Barksdale The sales table which
follows has been 80 revised by the Tax
Commission. The revised Totol True

Million Dollar Bond Measure and
Road Extension Knocked Out
Tax Time Season Causes Board Mem
bers To Consider Expenditures
Before Passing Measures.


County Board of Bayfield, Coun-
ty believe that this is not the
proper. .tirne to consider bonding
the county for a million dollars
tor road improvements because
measure proposing that feature
was given the Knockout blow
when it came up for action at
the Board meeting on Tuesday.
At the fall meeting of the
Board held in December there
appeared to be some sentiment
in favor of the bonding PROPOSE
tion and a committee was ap-
pointed to work out a plan, and
this committee spent consider
able time on the subject, but tax
paying time whichis now On has
caused sorae of the board MEM
hers to stop and consider and at
the Tuesday meeting there ap-
peared to be change in senti-
ment and the bonding PROPOSE
ton did not have anywhere near
enough backing to put it over.
Members expressed themselves
as being desirous of waiting
until a definite road program
could be worked out and until
prices became more settled.
Likewise the attempt TO put
the additional mileage on the
county or secondary system of
highways also went by the
boards. Practically every town
in the county wanted additional
county road mileage and the
resolution proposing the ad-
ditional mileage became so over :
loaded with roads that when it
came up for passage some of the
members who were its greatest
supporters were afraid to tackle
the proposition and voted in the
negative.
1t is likely that the spring
meeting of the board will find a
new resolution proposing a new
county or secondary system.
Many of the roads on the county
system have been taken over by
the Federal and State system
and this has left the secondary
system rather short on mileage.
Many of the Board members feel
that it would be unwise to over
load the systela again, but that
a definite road program should
be worked out whereby the
secondary system should form a
trunk system that will be fed by
traffic from town roads, and not
that the county system should
take over the town roads.
County officers salaries came
in for shake-up and definite
schedule of salaries was arranged
by the board to become effective
when new officers are elected.
The system of pay for board of
prisoners was also changed to
become effective on and after
Jan. 3lst, this year. The Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent was
granted raise in salary and a
Register of Probate was author
lied in the Office of the County
Judge.
The Board authorized the pur-
chase of a Ford touring car for
the use of the County Visiting
Nurse and County Superintend-
ent of Schools.
