The state OF North DaketA has

nevtng certain Of its citizens Of the
payment Of taxes. The act creating
tho BODYBUILDING Assocaatson pro-
vides that homes built or purchased
under the terms OF tho law shall be
sold to Individuals on the payment
OF not less than 20 per cent Of their
cost and that the balance shall be
secured by mortgage, on the property.
The audit report indicates that this
has not been done.
We are told that no mortgages
such AZ are provided for have been
found, nor has any record Of them
been discovered. On the contrary,
an officer of the association informed
the audit company that the properties
which have been built or purchased
for individuals in Bismarck, Fargo,
Mandan and Underwood have been
sold on contract. 1t is pointed out
that under this system, the title TO
the property being vested in the
state. it is exempt from taxation. as
the state pays no taxes on its
property. y
If the statement made to the ac-
countants is correct, therefore, the
state is carrying q lot Of residence
property for the benefit of individu-
ais free from taxation. One Of the
properties is a duplex house in Far
go bought for the Tottens, father and
son. 1t is supposed to be worth
$4,000. The Tottens' neighbors are
presumably paying taxes on their
homes. If the Totten property is not
taxed the other property is taxed
more heavily on that account. Will
liam Lemke is interested In a rather
p%retentious dwelling the value Of
which is placed at about $4,000.
William need pay no taxes on that
little property if he holds it under
contract.
1t may be that some genius ut Bis
marck has discovered a plan whereby
1t will be possible to abolish taxa
ton altogether. Let all the property
be decided to the state. Then let it
all be sold back under contract. 1t
will be state property, and tax-ex-
empt. Hence nobody will have to
pay any taxes at all. The captious
may object that this would cancel the
revenues of the state. To his it
may be replied that some Of our
statesmen have already put into oper-
alton a system which provides reve-
nues and profits out of the air. All
that is necessary is to. sell bonds, and
then sell more bonds with which to
take care of the old ones. By a rath-
er complicated process of buying the
bonds back and crediting ourselves
with the interest handsome profits
are realized. II the process is only
expanded sufficiently it ought to pro-
vide all the revenues we need.

AMORTIZATION.

Although the term has not been IN
very general use. the term "amortiza-
tton" has come to be fairly we'll un-
sderstood. AS Used in connection with
financial dealings 1t represents the
process by which, through the max
ing Of small periodical payments. the
interest on q debt is kept paid and the
principal Is also paid within a given
time Various methods are employed
to accomplish this object. Payments
! may. be made monthly. yearly, or at
other times, but the general princi-
pie 10 that each payment includes in
terest to date, with some portion of
the principal. If the payments are
kept at the same amount each sue
cessive one will represent more Of
principal and less of interest until the
account balances.
The farm mortgage plan adopted
by the Bank of North Dakota pro-
vides for the liquidation of the debt
ut the end of thirty years. This, at
least, is the understanding which bor-
rowers have had. But the auditing
company which has been checking
over the accounts reports that the
computations have been inaccurately
made, and that the payments are
not sufficient to retire the loan at the
time expected. According to the re-
port of the accountants the borrower
who has made the prescribed pay
ments on a $1,000 loan for the entire
thirty years. and who supposes that
in doing so he has paid off his loan.
will. still owe $263.S0. ~
The making OF an amortization
table is a matter of arithmetic-just
that, and nothing more. 1t requires
no craftsmanship, and nc extraord1n-
airy sagacity. Such a table can be
made by anyone who is able to keep
an ordinary set of books. And yet
the people who have made the table
for the state bank, on which pay
ments for farm loans are based, nave
bfhndered to the extent of more than
2s Der Gent. y.
It would scarcely be reasonable to
suppose that this incorrect table has
been deliberately made. The man
who purposely falsified the figures in
such q case would face the certainty
of detection, and it would hardly be
attempted. Not being the result OF
deliberate fraud. it is the result of
incompetence. the same sort of in
competence that has been shown in
so~many branches of our state admin
istrative work. In order. to crafty
this group Inc that faction blunder-
ers and incompetents have been
placed in positions Tor which they
were not fitted, and have been n
trusted with duties which they were
unable to perform. The result is the
tumble that we now have on our
hands.
