A RECORD TAX LIST
Largest Sale for Taxes on Real Es-
tate to Be Held This Year in
History of County.

The Record plant has been taxel
to it's capacity this week handling the
annual tax list publication. 1t is the
most highly technical sort of a job,
and the least mistake in description
would invalidate the sale of any par
ticular tract. Our linotype has been
kept going on double shifts, and the
rest of the force has been kept jump
ing to correct proofs and compare
the descriptions.
The nearest tax sale in size to this
years sale was the one held about
1896 when the Northern Pacific lands
were sold under the Wood law. At
that, the present sale is considerably
larger. As will be seen by looking
over the other pages of this weeks
issue, the list covers almost three en-
tire pages. It is set in the smallest
type in the Office, and the complicated
descriptions are the hardest kind of
stuff to set without mistakes.
After the Record force has checked
and rechecked for mistakes, final
copy has been checked by the county
auditor and county treasurer to guard
aaginst any slip-ups. The sale will
be held on Tuesday, Dec. 18th, begin
ming at 10 a. m. Investors can have
a chance to make good interest rate
by purchasing the tax-sale certif-
icates. We understand such certif-
icates draw total rate of IL per cent
the first year.
This years tax sale emphasizes the
serious financial conditions existing
locally, at least. There are num-
be- of prominent taxpayers included
in the list who have never before al
lowed their lands to go to sale. This
year many of them have been unable
to even borrow the money necessary
to pay the taxes. On the other hand,
raying taxes is getting to be much
harder job than formerly. It is moth
ing uncommon to find lands listed at
more than 500 per quarter. Sever
al farmers are listed with more than
$40O against section. And it is
doubtful il these sections raised that
amount all told, during the past sea-
son. 1t would seem that the various
taxing bodies should soon take note
Of these conditions, and do their part
to cut down unnecessary projects un-
til conditions improve. :

Harry Doran, $1.25. The plan is to
erect new building costing about
two hundred thousand dollars. The
school children Of the state and the
various organizations buy bricks at
five cents each. During these hard
times the Home is unable to take care
care of more than half Of the chill
dren applying for admission. and the
doptions have also fallen off 80 per
cent. This Home is a worthy insti-
tuition and every. one should assist.
We. always have taken the stand that
we should take care Of those in our
own state first. If people would work
as hard for their home people as some
do for the foreign missions there
wr,li6 be little difficulty in this state.

Says Incompetence to Blame for
HomebuildSrs Lcsses
'--------- ---- ~.
Last week the Record commented
on John Hagan's refusal to accept
the house the state built for him in
Bismarck. Now comes the Courier
News, league official organ, with the
clean-cut and direct admission that
incompetence is to blame for the
Homebuilders muddle, and ventures
the hope that the Industrial Com J.
mission will make q clean statement
to show why there exists such wide
diversion between the promised cost
Of the homes built BY the state and
the actual cost, and why eighteen
mnotlm have elapsed without the ap-s
plicants for houses having received
their contracts.
We believe it is pertinent to ask
why the Courier News did not honest
" make these admissions before elec-
tion,s when the voters were trying. to
determine the truth Of these matters.
Before election, when an independent.
Newspaper or speaker attempted to
show these rotten conditions in the
administration Of the states affairs,
such persons or newpapers were
branded BY all the league newspapers
and speakers as liars, little brothers
of the rich, agents Of Big Biz, etc.
ItSis some satisfaction to have the
leagues chief organ so completely
exonorate the Independent claims,
even though the action comes at this
late date.
We wonder if the local league sheet
has the nerve to besas frank with its
readers in reporting to thes1 this
rank failure Of the league adminis-
tration as the chief league organ has
been. Mr.. Miller, please answer.
HerewitA we reprint the Courier
News editorial, word for word, as it
appeared IN The league organ Of the
