DISCRIMINATION
IN ASSESSMENT,
A SUIT ALLEGES
CoIfax County Stockmen
Bring Action to Reduce
Taxes; Declare Certain
Ones Were Favored.

Ration, n. NJ, May 25.-Action
to have alleged discriminatory as
sessmenta corrected on the county
tax books has been taken by a
group OF Cattlemen.
The grazing land assessment
wound be fixed at $2.75 an acre for
all such land in the county if the
proceedings are successful. Judge
Lieb has set June % as the date
for hearing the case. The present
rate of assessing grazing lands is
based on blanket valuation of
1915 an acre.
However, the petitioners allege
there has been a marked disCrimi-
ntaion shown some Cattlemen,
Among the petitioners are A. j..
Meloche, r. f. McAuliffe. June b.
Moore, Cora =. Moore, executriX of
the LandOn D. Moore estate, G. w.
Gillespie, W. Il. Stevens, and the
Stockton Cattle company. Their
allegation asserts that last year the
state tax commission permitted the
assessed valuation of six ranches
to be lowered to an average Of
$2.6S IL an acre, but held the 9TH
ers in the county to the 1915 ba-
sis.
Those whose grazing lands have
been put in at a lowered assessed
valuation, according to the petit
TONERS, are j. NJ Heck, Maxwell
Land Grant company; Uracca Land
and Cattle company, w. S. Land
and Cattle company, Charles H.
Springer 4 Co, and II. II. Chand-
Ter.
The petition AYERS that after the
state tax commission eSta blished
one assessed valuatfon-$3.7 5-for
all of ColiaX county's grazing land,
along with that in Mora, San Nj
guel and Union counties, the halt
dozen Cattlemen said to have been
favored appeared before tho Coun-
ty commissioners in an effort to
have the assessment lowered. The
commissioners refused to act, say
ing it was out of their jurisd ction
in tax matters.
The matter was then carried to
the state tax commission, accord
ing to the petitioners and in No
vember, 1920, the commission
made an order fixing the basis OF
taxing the SIX appellants lands at
from 81 to 1915 an acre, creating
an average of about $2.6S IL.
The acreage being taxed under
the alleged special rate of valua-
ton amounts to virtually 100000
acres. The petitioners in the ac-
ton to have the assessed valuation
lowered have about half that much
land, but there are great many
holders of grazing lands through
out the county who have not TAX
en- their case to court.
Victory in this action would
mean a reduction Of 81 in the as
sessed valuation Of all grazing
lands in the county which now are
being assessed at the rate estab-
lished by the tax commission when
it districted the state. Buckley and
Kiker are attorneys for the peti-
TONERS.

TOWN RAISING A FUND TO CARE
FOR FORMER SERVICE MAN WHO
WAS SHOT BATTLING A BANDIT

Ration, N. NJ, May 25.--A move
ment has been started in Ration To
obtain money enough to send VIII
liam Beck to Rochester,, Mimi,
for treatment by the Mayo Broth
ers.
The EX-Service Mems association
of ColfaX county is directing the
campaign, the financial objective
of which is at least $4,000.
Private Beck served during the
world war and had a narrow es-
cape from death from a bandit >
bullet. Since October Z he has
been at the Miners hospital under
the care of DR.. c. Willard Fulton,
who performed an operation of
hazardous nature on the youths
spine.
Shot when he attempted to frus-
. trate a holdup in a First street
spool room. Rushed to the hospi-
tai, Doctor Fulton found the bu.-
let lodged in the spine. Then be-
gan the fight for the young mans
life. With infinite courage, Beck
has steadily hung on to the slen-
der thread of lie left in him.
The shooting occurred when
Beck tried to wrest the revolver
from a bandit covering a crowd in
the pool room while confederate
searched the occupants. Beck was
standing near the man with the
gun and suddenly nabbed the
weapon. The other bandit fired,
the bullet entering Beck's back.

better not to have the small and large
children on the same play ground. The
High School building could be remod-
eled, if necessary for high school only.
Many are for a Ward school as other
cities have them. Those that are
against this claim it would be more
expensive to run the ward on account
of having to get Janitor. The in
terest of the money we would save
would more than pay all extra eX-
penses.
In not building High School the
children would be better off by be-
ing by themselves. 1t cannot be said
now that there is no room in the
school house, as there are empty seats
in each room. Out siders are not
crowding the city schools this winter
on account of scarcity of money and
many parents like to have them at
tend their home school longer, have
them at home to look after their
loved ones, and not send them from
home to have no protection. We all
know there is no place like home.
There is tendency now days to break
up the country schools by those that
pay no taxes and looking for large
salaries.
Now, dear Voter, go to the polls.
Vote down the bond proposition for

rue it.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE
PROPOSITION


Once more / come before the people
of this city to give reasons why they
should not vote for the High School
House Proposition. There seems to
be streak of lunacy entered into
the craniums of some of our people to
win the school house proposition by
all ways and means.
The time the voters of the county
voted SIS, 900 for new Court House,
many thought it sufficient to build and
equip it as it should be, but it was
only one half of what was needed or
used. So it will be with the school
building. Any building that is begun
must be finished if possible. If the
school building and equipments would
cost 100000, to finish it the people
of DEBORAH would have to pay as much
as if the county issue bonds for mil
lion dollars for any improvements
made. Would the county stand for
lit? How can the City afford it The
county could pay million easier than
DEBORAH 100000 as DEBORAH has only
1-5 of the population of the County.
In the last assessment the valuation
of the City property was raised 20 per
cent. 1t was said they must do that
as there were too many mills on the
dollar to produce the money needed.
1t did not look well for outside bust
ness to invest in DEBORAH in having to
pay so many mills for tax. Did this
help the tax payers? For only u
mill was lowered not worth mention
ing. So, dear Voter, for every $40
tax you paid for last year, you have
to pay $25 the coming year, and there
viii be no high school house tax in
this. There has been easy figuring
done to deceive the people. The bonds
shall run 20 years, mostly the inter-
est on the bonds figured, but can we
avoid paying the principal? If money
is plentiful in the city, why issue
bonds if the money is at hand? Pay
| as you go. am doubtful about
money. Money is scarce all over the
world. A hard winter is before the
poor and common people. High
! Schoo does not ease an
empty stomach, nor a fine high
school building give better education.
/ Our most noted men of America
have never been attending College.
] The College alone does not make the
man. We know that the self-educat-
ed is mostly ahead. 1t is the ambi-
ton that has to do with it. | am in
favor of good schools, but do not
over do it.
Dear Voter, think before you vote
what is the best for the people and
not for a few schemers. If it were
not better to build a ward school
house that would accommodate the
children of ward one and two, that
have too far to walk to the high

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

The erection Of an expensive
school building in DEBORAH at this
time is worse than a mistake, it is
a crime. To exact from the dimish-
ed incomes of tax payers the price
of this extravagant project instead
of waiting for normal prices and
better times smaclxs of sinister pur-
poses. Does someone want big
bunch of tax free bonds at a dis
count for the bedeviled and groan-
ing taxpayers of DEBORAH to strug-
gle still harder TO pay? 1t looks
that way, there is nothing more
tenacious than greed to hang on
with death grip despite the agony
of its victims, the people who toll
and MOL to pay taxes.
Does some one with an itching
palm scheme for profit on fat con-
tracts, extortionate prices for ma
terial and the exploitation of labor ?
1t would seem SO from the ten
acity with which this twice defeat
ed project is chung to.
Do others dream of ginecure pos
itions multiplying the already over
burdened pay roll Of our school sy-
stem top heavy with superfiuous
factotems?
If not why impose the expense OF
a third election on this proposition
upon taxpayers. IL is imagined that
Decorah's tax payers are made OF
money? That the dollars can be
ground out until the tax eaters are
surfeited? The grinding process
will reach flesh and blood and bones
if continued much longer. Why moi
call a halt on the interminable de-
mands since the war began and give
people a chance to catch theil
breath?
Is an extravagant, expensive higf
school building TO cost one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and the
Lord knows how much more, essen.
tial at this time? There is hal
room enough in our school house Il
hold a county fair in. why not re
arrange as Detroit, Mich. did a
small expense, giving ample room
Why not occupy some outside room
as Preston, Minnesota is doing
Why not be prudent? Why indulge
in wicked waste that is surely fol
lowed by woeful want?
If DEBORAH was able at this time
to build a grand high school why
squat it down in the path of the
flood? When the time comes tha
such structure can be afforded VIII!
not locate it where it will be SAFE
and an architectural credit to thu
city? If the proponents of thi!
scheme think there is so much cas-!
money in DEBORAH why not start ;
fund for the relief of our need!
and destitute who will surely suf
fer in the long hard winter be
fore us? Why not help disabled sol
der boys that Uncle Sam is so SLOW
in getting to?
Now then voters who scotched thi
scheme twice, be sure you kill
this time, so the tail will not wig
gle at sun down. See that the vot

Concerning the School Question


I wish to correct a few statements
made by the opposition the last few
days. -,
First-That the old building will
he discarded. There will be demand
for all the room in the old building
except the class rooms in the base
ment.
Second-That the old building has
not yet been paid for The last
bonds issued to erect this building
were paid on Nov. /, 1921. -,
Third-That the new building will
have an expensive swimming pool.
The board does not, nor have they
ever considered the installation of a
swimming pool. The cost of con-
struction and maintenance is prohibi-
tive.
Fourth-That new high school will
be exclusively normal school. 1t
will be used to provide for the nor
NAL department as we'll as all the
other departments of modern high
school. The Normal Training Dept.
is at present housed in rented quar-
tiers entirely unsuited for school pur-
poses.
Fifth-That the town is bankrupt.
This criticism must be made in ignor-
ance. The bonds asked for will moi
be an obligation of the city of De-
corah, but of the Ind. School Dis
trict of DEBORAH. The district has
had no Indebtedness for years.
Further-The board wishes to
state that if this question carries
they will ask for representative
committees of the Commercial Club
and the Civic Club to counsel with
them on all matters pertaining to the
location, planning and equipping the
new building.
