FIVE MILLION
ASKED TO RUN
YEARS
Requests of Budget Commission
by Departments and In
stitutions
MUCH CUTTING HEAD
Legislature Expected to Try to
Reduce to Near Pre-War
MUCH CUTTING AHEAD

Tho budget commission and the
house OF representatives will have
considerable pairing to do if the bud,
get ask for expenses of state inst-
tutions and departments for the next
biennial period are less than the ap-
preparations for the biennial period
just ending.
J. |. Cahill "a member of the bud
get commission, has made a prelim-
mary estimate Of the appropriations
asked for by the various departments
and institutions, placing the figures
at $5,0O00O0, as compared to S4,6S1,-
$500 for the biennial period now
ending.
1t is expected that efforts will be
made either in the budget commission
or in the legislature to cut the apprO-
priatiOns somewhere near d pre- war
figure. The budget commission al
ready has cut many of the appropria-
tons asked for and expects to have
received all requests by the end of the
week, but will remain in session dur
ing the legislative session to give ad-
vice aud make recommendations to
the appropriations committee.
1t is understood that the Legislature
will be asked to make emergency APP
preparations for the state auditor and
for the general, to be available before
the beginning of the next fiscal year
on July 80. The request may not be
made by the budget commission. Ap-
preparations for Auditor Carl K0sitzky
and Attorney-General Langer were
considerably reduced by the legisla
turc and the utmost economy has
been necessary upon the part of these
officials in keeping within the expen-
ditures allowed them. they declare.

RAILROADS WIN
OVER STATE ON
TAX VALUATION
Judge Woodrough Sitting in Dis
trict Court at Fargo De-
cides Case
STATE GAINS A PART
Railroads Are Relieved of Pay
ing Abut Three-ffths of
Contested Amount

Fargo, n. d., Dec. 30.-RailrOadS
operating in North Dakota are freed
from liability for approximately ST.
100000 Of taxes levied in 1917 and
1918, in a decision handed down by
Judge j, w. Woodrough, Of the United
States district court
Judge WoOdrough holds that a GER
tain increase of Is per cent. in the
assessment made by the state board
of equalization was illegel and unjus-
titled and relieves the railroads Of liza
bilty on the said illegal assessment
The petition on behalf of the car
riers was filed by the Great Northern
railroad against state and county Of
ficers charged with the collection Of
the taxes. A valuation Of about $7O,-
100000 in 1917 is pared to about SOL
100000 by Judge WOOdrOugh'S ruling.
10 Per Cent. Boost
In 1918 Il 10c5 increase was ordered
against the railroads and is held
to be in proportion to other increases,
but it is pointed out that this order
based the increase on the 1917 valua-
ton, part OF which was alleged to be
illegal. The court directs that the
1913 valuation shall be increased 10
per cent. over the 1917 valuation, af-
ter the illegal increase is deducted.
Thus the 1918 assessment thus will
be 10 per cent. over $61 ,O00,O 900, or will
be about $66 100000 instead of 10 per
cent on $71 100000 which would be
$1,000, 900.
Didn't Pay Part
I'll G railroads paid about Is per cent.
of the taxes for 1917 and 1918 and the
unpaid part of the taxes was $780,
1911.
By Judge Woodrough's decision the
railroads are relieved Of all but slight
ly more than $SO0,O00 Of the unpaid
~0XeS.
Judge Woodrough holds that had the
aluatIon basis fixed by the tax COM
mission been accepted by the board OF
equalization there would have been no
eduction. .~r....
In round figures tho railroads are
relieved OF paying three-ffths OF the
increased taxes made by the board of
euualization' increased assessment.

Cut The Weeds

The city ordinances provide
that property owners must not
only keep the weeds cut on their
property but also keep them cut
along the streets and alleys
abutting their property. To
make it easier the street COM
missioner has had all weeds in
the streets that could be reached
cut with a moving machine and
it is now up to the owners and
occupants of property to COM
plete the job. Mayor Plowman
informs us that this ordinance
is going to be enforced, not only
to improve the looks of the town,
but for the health of the COM
munity. There are some vacant
lots that need attending to right
away and the street commission
er will no doubt see that it is
done
