U. .S.-CANADIAN
BORDER EVIDENCE
WORLD IS WISER
President Harding Declares in
Letter to Sam Hill, Who
Conceived Idea Of Placing
Peace Portal on Boundary
Near Blaine, Wash.

Washington, Sept. 3.-An unforti-
fled boundary line 5000 miles long
between the U. S. and Canada is the
best evidence that the world grows
wiser and better, President Harding
said in a letter to be read at the ded-
ication of a peace portal near Blaine,
Wash, in cOmmemOratiOn of more
than a century of uninterrupted
peace between America and Great
Britain.
The portal, which is to be ,dedicat-
ed Tuesday, Sept s, was conceived
by Sam Hill of Seattle In recog-
milton of the significance of; the oc-
casion, President Harding w~ote Mr..
Hill, as, follows. I'D: =. AZ.
In early days the Romans erect
ed a. temple to Janus, the dispenser
|Of peace and war, and ordered that
its gates should never be closed when
the nation was at war. You,
however, are erecting a temple for
peace, and may it's gates never be
closed, save in war. Already there
has been more than a Gentry Of uE-
interrupted peace between Britain
and America; and we all join in hop
ing continuation of the era of peace,
and may the gates of the portal be
opened for time far longer than
were closed those of the temple of
Janus."

Sycran, Russia, Sept. 6.-There

MINNESOTA BARS
FARMER FINANCE
CORP. STOCK SALE
State Security Commission
Holds Corporation Offer
and Sale of Preferred Stock
Misleading and Deceptive
No Right to Vote or
Voice in MANAGEMENT.

| st. Paul. Sept. 2-The Farmers
the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. is de-
MED the right to sell $750,000 of
preferred stock in Minnesota, in an
order issued late today by the state
securities commission, which de-
clared the "offer and sale >. mis-
leading and deceptive"
In it's application to the commits
sion, the farmers finance corpora
ton reported it had issued its 21
shares of no par value stock TO the
u. S. Grain Growers, Inc, nom
stock corporation formed under the
laws of Delaware, and also had is
sued 1877 shares of the preferred
stock for $13,900 cash.

sidiary of the u. S. Grain Growers.
Inc.," said the commissions order.
Both organizations being the out
ports to be a cooperative movement
among the grain growing farmers.
by years of development, the So
called cooperative movements in
this and other states have come to
have certain settled features which
are deemed essential and which are
regarded as present in all such
movements, these features being set
forth in the cooperative statutes
now in effect in this state.
"These essential features are not
embodied in the present organize
ton, which, on the contrary. is a
closed corporation with unusually
broad powers and control vested Gu
tirely in 81 shares Of no par value
stock, and which organization uenies
to the purchaser Of stock all OF the
rights and privileges usually incident
to the holders Of stock in cooper
ative organization.
"The offer and sale OF the stock
in question in connection with the
movement represented by the y. S.
Grain Growers, Inc, and the apply
ing company is therefore misleading
and deceptive

mission memorandum reads, "c0n-
sist only of the proceeds from the
sale of stock. The company had
transacted no business and. showed
no profit nor loss"
In statement, F. r. Pearson, Sec
retary of the commission, said:
1.-The company has a capital OF
$1OO.OOO,OOO of preferred stock and
21 shares of no par value common
stock. The name preferred stock is
misnomer in this case, as the stock
had no substantial preference over
usual common stock. 1t is not pre-
ferred stock. as far as l can see, ex-
cept in name.
Further, the stock holder has no
right to vote and no voice in the
The entire control Of
the 500, 100000 proposed to be

erd stock is in the hands of holders
of 21 shares of common stock. There

STUTSMAN COUNTY
LANDS INCREASED
BY STATE BOARD
State Board Of Equalization
Raises Assessed Valuation
Of Lands Twenty-Five Per
Cent-Reasons For Protest
Of City Property Owners.

An impression seems to have be.
come general that the State Board
of Equalization has reduced the as.
sessed valuation of lands in this
county. This is not correct as the
county auditor has been notified
that the lands in Stutsman county
were raised Is per cent by the State
Board of Equalization.
The State board did not act on the
assessment of the city Of jamestown,
made by the city assessor, for the
reason that the re-assessment made
by the tax supervisor, had not been
received, which re-assessment is now
the subject of court litigation.
County Board Adjourned
The Board of County Commission
ers adjourned Tuesday without taxi
ing any action in regard to alleged
re-assessment of the jamestown, tax
district having been enjoined against
doing so by the district court.
In addition to the injunction, a
large number of individual proper
ty owners filed separate protests a.
gainst the re-assessment made by the
tax supervisor for the fourth judi
icial district. Over seventy-five such
protests have been filed with the
auditor and the reasons set forth in
all of them are, in substance, as fol-
lows:
The owners of property in the city
of jamestown protest to the board
of county commissioners against the
pretended re-assessment, purported
to have been made by j. B. Burgster,
claiming to act as assessor of the
city of jamestown for 1921, which
purports to re-assess said property.
Valuations of said pretended re-
assessment are given in each individ-
ual case, and the protest, continuing,
sets up the following further real
sons
''That said re-assessment is un-
lawful, unwarranted, unjust, Mne-
quail, unfair, arbitrary, discrimina-
tory, confiscatory,' and is an unjust,
unequal and unfair, assessment as
compared with other property in the
city and county; it makes an unequ-
al and unfair tax against all prop
erty in said city as compared with
property IN other taxing districts In
the county of Stutsman, and of all
property in said county as compar-
ed with the property in other cOun-
ties in the state; and in that such
pretended re-assessment is in ex-
cess of it's full and true value; and
in that said property is re-assessed for
a greater amount than other proper
ty of like value in said city, coun-
ty and state.''
. A further reason given in the pro-
test is that the property assessed by
J. M. Severn, duly appointed and
qualified for 1921, and equalized by
the city assessment board, was SO as
sessed and equalized without objec-
ton on the part of J. B. Burgster,
who was at that time acting as dis
trict~tax supervisor for the fourth
judicial district N
Valuations given by the city and
by the tax supervisor for each par
ticular piece of property mentioned
in the protest, are also given.

pearing that unless the court issues
a restraining order pending this lit
