WHATaYOU WILL
CAST BALLOT
ON, OCT. %

Editors Note-A brief expIana-
tion of measures to be voted on
Oct % is to be given in daily
articles in The Tribune, to aid the
busy reader in summing up the
arguments for and against the
measures.
NO. 1.
One constitutional amendment is
submitted to the voters by the I. V. A.
It provides:
State may issue bonds in sum of
$7,75O,0OO unsecured by mortgages.
R0nds issues in excess uf this amOtnt
shall be secured by first mortgages
upon real estate in amounts not ex-
eeeding one-half value. The 1. V. "A.
claims this is intended 10 reduce limit
of unsecured bonds from $12,000,00O
to $7,75O,O00. Opponents claim it actu
ally raises the states unsecured
bonded debt limit from $1,000, 900 to
$7,750,00O since all bonds issued now
in excess of the constitutional debt
limit must be secured on mortgages.
The I. V. A. amendment proposes
s5 900, 900 Of the bonds shall be used
"to pay debts of the Dank of North
Dakota;" $2,500,000 to complete Grand
Forks mill, provide working capital
and pay debts; $25O.O0o to wind up
Home Builders association.
Provides Immediately upon adop-
ton of amendment governor, tyea sur
er, secretary Of state may determine
amount necessary to- issue Of bono
issues. Provides state board of equal.
ization shall annually levy tax on all
taxable property to pay interest upor
bonds and create sinking fund. Prof.
| its from state-owned enterprises shal
be applied. The same provision ex
I lists under present authorization o
constitution for issuing tlndustria
bonds-that interest and principa
must be met by taxation if profits
from Industries are not sufficient
Bonds may be sold for par, bearing
per cent.

crease on Business Struc-
lures in Bismarck
OTHERS 'l' MAKE PROTEST
City Assessor Declares Bismarck
Already Assessed Higher
Than Other Cities

The tax rate for Bismarck and Bur
leigh county will not be fixed until the
supreme court renders a decision on
house bill No. 80; the tax limitation
measure.
However, taxpayers OF the City and
county may prepare to pay r. pretty
high rate OF taxation. Business
houses, in particular, will have to pay
a higher rate.
The state board Of equalization, on
the advice Of County Auditor Frank
johnson and in spite OF the protest
of the city assessor ana others, raised
the assessment on structures and i'm
pr0vements used for business pur-
poses 20 per cent and on lots S per
cent, Bimarck being hit hardest by the
increase.
The county board of commissioners
made no changes in the figures of the
assessors. However, after Auditor
Johnson protested to .,le state board
that the assessments on business
property in Bismarck were too low,
the state board boosted them. Com
pilations made by city representatives
had shown that Bismarck had been
paying a greater per capita of state
tax than any other city Of any size in
the state, because the assessment of
Bismarck, when the law was changed
to provide for assessment at true cash
value, was assessed according to law.
Other cities assessed lower than the
law required. The business men Of
Bismarck were penali2ed because OF
the honesty Of the assessor.
When County Auditor Johnson pro-
tested business structures were assess
ed too low, City Assessor Falconer ap-
peared before the board and declared
that business structures were assessed
according to law but TIC high in pro-
portion to other cities.
The state board then raised the as
sessed valuation Of business struc-
lures from the county board figures
from $1,196,46S.OO to s1,435, ,761.OO, an
increase Of $3.50, ,00O The total as
sessment Of property in Bismarck now
is we'll above $S,O0O,OO0.
