Burke county were refusing to hon
or drafts issued on them by the
state bank. County Commissioner
Hauge, who was not in favor of
garnishing the cOunty's money i'll
the first place. was in favor of ac-
cepting, these drafts in order to set
tie the case, but the other two
members of the board refused the
offer until they could get some ad-
vice at home. On their return
they consulted with some of the
bankers of the county, and then
agreed to accept the offer of the
state bank.
Sunday night County Treasurer
Lawrence Larsen and C. e. Hov-
land, president of the First State
Bank OF Coteau, left for Bismarck
to get the drafts in full settlement
of Burke county's account against
the Bank of North Dakota, and the
following day phoned back that they
were able to get everything except
the seed grain sinking fund amount
ing to about $4,000 which the Of
ticers of the bank were unable to
turn over unless IT. was transferred
into the general fund of the county
by a resolution of the board of
county commissioners. Such reso-
luton was passed immediately by
a majority Of the county board.
County Commissioner Hauge vot-
ing no, and one copy of it was
wired to Bismarck while anothc"
was sent by mail. The transfer Of
ne c;y ;y,1y fund infn
any other fund is an irregular way
of doing business and it is very
questionable whether the board had
the authority to do it. but it is un-
derstood that the money will be
transferro' back into the sinking
fund as soon as Messrs. Hovland
and Larsen return from Bismarck.
According to Commissi Il e
Hauge the garn:shment of the
Bank Of North Dakota's money in
banks in Burke county was done
by the board at the solicitation OF
the hankers of the county, who
stated on Sunday. Feb. II, that
they expected to be called on the
following morning to pay all they
owed the state bant They said
that they had plenty OF money
with which to make such payment.
and would make it on demand, but
that after thev did so the money
would be gone out of the county.
and the county. stood a good chance
of losing it. They advised that
the money be garnished here in
Burke county before the drafts
from Bismarck arrived. The coun-
ty board w"s in Minot when they
were. told by the BANKERS what to
do. and the majority of the board
that Sunday night while at
Minot to garnish this. money, and
called up States Attorney Hanson
that night and instructed him to
start the suit the first thing Mon
day morning, which he did.

COUNTY SETTLES
WITH BANK OF n. D.

While at Bismarck last week to
consider bids for the sale of seed
grain and feed bonds the county
commissioners did not perfect a
sale, but are in correspondence with
several firms. and the sale might
be made later In case the bonds
cannot be sold, then the county
board expects to issue registered
warrants in payment Of seed grain
and feed, and take seed liens from
all farmers who are given assist
ance. --~ 'r'',. ..
While at Bismarck the county
board also called at the Bank Of
North Dakota to talk over the fin
ancial situation. and while there
were offered drafts on Burke coun-
ty banks for every cent that Burke
county had on deposit there. The
officers of the bank explained that
they were not trying to hold back
a ~le penny belonging to Burke
county. and that the only reason
they were unable to honor checks
issued by the treasurer of sBurke
county was because the banks in

TAXES 50
PER CENT LESS

1t was just discovered during the
past week that the personal pro-
perty taxes as spread on the records
of Burke county by the county audi
tors force are just about double
what they should be. and correc-
tions are being made as fast as pos
sible, while those who have al
ready paid their personal taxes are
being sent checks by County Treas
urer Larsen for the overcharge
from them.
The error was discovered at Bis
>marcl1 last week by County Com
missioner Hauge who inquired of
State Tax Commissioner Wallace
as to why the personal taxes i'll
Burke county were about double
this year than what they were dur
ing former years. People in all
Larts of the county who received
cards from the county treasurer
advising them what their personal
taxes were had made similar in
ouiries from Mr.. Hauge, and Mr..
Hange tried to ascertain where the
trouble was, but was advised that
the state board of equalization had
h1ioSu t11C' PClooAAoA ~ opS1FJ tAso
sessment in Burke county 200 per
cent, After the error was discov-
cred in Bismarck Tax Commission
er} Wallace called the attention of
County Auditor Melby to it, and
the records are being corrected as
fast as possible.
=, County Auditor Melby is not en-"
tirely to blame for the error. Sim
liar errors were made in about a
half dozen other counties in the
state. During former years a per-
Son's personal property exemptions
were deducted by the assessor when
he brought in his report to the
county auditors Office, while las,
spring all assessors were instructed
to take everything at it's full value
and that the exemptions would be
deducted after the state board OF
equalization had completed it's
work. and made It's report back to
the county auditor. Last veal
was the first one that the auditor
was expected to figure off the ex'
emptions. and in a number of cases
this was neglected by that official
Officials working with the anti
farmer bunch naturally blamed the
league administration for this raise
in personal taxes, and the league
was in many cases denounced in
Burke county OH account of the
Eerror on the part of Mr.. Melby.
: Deputy County Treasurer j. L.
sEs;ilristman tells The Tribune that
the correct way to arrive at the
right amount of your personal
taxes after you have received "a
card from the treasurer's Office CIV
ing you the first amount set is to
deduct $3.50 for school and poll
tax from the original amount, and
then cut the balance in two which
added to the $3.50 will bring your
personal tax to where it should be.
This will not work in all cases, but
will come out right in oyer 95 per
cent of the cases in the county.
There is no change in the real es-
tate taxes.

It would seem that the victory
must lean to the side of the people
for the enemies of the program in
North Dakota may talk all they
please about the need of destroying
it In it's infancy to forestall its de-
velopment in the future, but the fact
is that their pocket nerve is being
grievously irritated at the present
moment and the torture from that
pain is one that they least can
stand and is apt to cause them to
cast to the winds all. concern for
the future in the need of relieving
the agony of the present moment.
-, AS an instance of how much
these outside enemies will be affect
ed by a general crash in this state
we may cite the fact that the bank

deposits. from the Bank of North
