the number of animals multiplied by
twenty. II the assessment does not.
equal this average, it is raised pro
rata consequently the man Who has
been assessed m%oreYfor the same
class OF property than lis %neighbor,
is raised higher in zproportion,-an
injustice that can't be avoided. To
remedy this, a township and city,
board of equalization has been pro-
ment can besmade on. complaint of
taxpa4ers. This is feasible and prac-
teal buts the trouble lies in the fact
that few taxpayers take the trouble
to investigate and aid in this read
justment,. and when the days Of grace
are over, andfthe' taxes must be met,
they wall of the injustice and malign
the authorities.
After the county board has set a
valuation on the property in the
|Goufty, the matter is taken. up by the
State board Of equalization, and the
same procedure is carried out, as be-
tween counties. The valuation is then
referred back to the county, and the
county commissioners, using the total
valuation Of property and the amounts
needed by the various units as q
basis, determine the rate of taxation
for the various purposes.
Rates Recently Fixed.
These rates have beenFf fixed recent
ly by the county commissioners of
Grand Forks county as elsewhere.
County. Auditor j. Welte loft Polk
county, on application furnished the
rates levied there. An analysis of
these rates and a comparison Of the
rates OF the past two years should
answer the question. Where does
the money go TOT" A comparison
of the two counties should also be
Of interests il .
It will be noted that the state rate
for the coming6year in Grand Forks
county has been increased LAS mills
in the county there is a decrease OF
ST mills in the city an increase OF
1.84 mills while the school rate haa
! been increased LA mills. The tota
valuation .ofE$ithe city, which is fail
average for all the divisions, has beer
decreased e$3O4;605. 1t is obvious tina
the lower the valuation the higher
the rate.
In a subsequent article to be pub
lished in The Herald, the relative
taxes of the two counties will be dis
cussed and compared. as well as tn
various purposes FOR which taxes ar
levied. There is a wide difference il

colllded with the American steamer

PERSHING ABANDONS PLAN TO
VISIT ENGLAND TO HONOR
BRITISH "UNkNOWN SOLDIER

So far as can be learned no an

honor at the Paris ceremony and was
to have proceeded to London, returned
to Coblenz this afternoon by special
train after having been held II week
in Paris awaiting word from the
British foreign office.
1t is known that American officials
in Paris as well as General Pershing
and his party have been mystified by
the silence of the British government,
and the matter has caused much en-
barrassment to the general.
American officials in Paris are
much concerned over the matter and
fears are expressed that an unfriendly

Paris, Oct. 9.-(By The Associated
Press. General Pershing will not go
to London to lay the congressional
medal on the tomb of the British
Soldier in Westminster
Abbey, and if the ceremony is held,
another American officer will be des--
ignated to represent the United
States.
This announcement came tonight
from authoritative sources.
Lack of time available for the trip
between now and October 20, when
General Pershing sails for home is the
official explanation for his decision to
abandon his visit to England. 1t is
learned, however, that failure of the
British war office either to fix date
for the ceremony or. until yesterday,
to give any explanation for not re-
plying to repeated inquiries from the
American embassy is the chief reason
for General Pershing's decision.
General Pershing came to Europe
for the purpose of laying the con-
gressional medal on the tombs of the
French and British unknown soldiers.
