request for reduction of railroad

We ask your assistance in procuring
reduced freight rates and financial

HARDING OPPOSES
TAXATION TO PAY
SOLDIERS BONUS
President Does Not. Favor
Special Taxes or Return of
Any Taxes Which Have
Been Repealed Doubtful
if Bond Issue Would Pro-

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Harding is unalterably opposed to
the enactment Of the special taxes
suggested to finance the soldiers bon
us or to the return to taxes, which
have been repealed, it was stated
officially today at the white house.
II also was indicated that the ex-
ecutive was very much in doubt if
it would be possible to raise the re-
quired sum to finance the cash fea-
ture of the bonus under an issue Of
bonds without appreciably advancing
interest rates and destroying the H.
nancial tranquility which is sought.
The president 1T was said, was dis
posed to be favorable to the bonus
but his attitude had to be that Of
finding sane and sensible conditions
for the fulfillment Of the promises
made on one hand without disturb
ing the desired return to financial
stability.

CITY RIGHT TO -
. ANNEX ADJACENT
TERRITORY 7 | UPHELD ! ?
Judge Cole Holds That Where
Owners Of Adjacent Prop
erty Benefit From City I'm
provemnest City May An
mex Property Without
Owners Consent.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. IL. Judge A.
T. Cole upheld the constitutionality
of the state law which allows an in
cOrporated city or village to annex
adjacent territory without consent
of those living on the territory, in
la decision in district court here,
made public today The case was
brot by property owners whose land
had been annexed by Hillsboro. The
decision holds that action of the city
in annexing the land was proper.
The property owners have announ-
ced. intention of Immediately appeal
ing the case to the state supreme
court.
Hillsboro is justified in taxing ,hc
annexed territory, says the Judge
j ndiscussing this phase of the mat
ter, because of the advantages
which the territory receives from it's
nearness to the city. To permit it to
remain without the town would be
letting its residents enjoy it's bene-
fits without paying propOrtionate
tax, he says.
In summing up reasons for his de-
cision Judge Cole says:
In the case at bar the territory an
nexed created additional responsible
ties for the city of Hillsboro. It
brQt to dts borders an additional pop
ulatfonsan Close community. 1t nee
essarffy made an additional burden
for the requirement of police and
other provisions. Ime:It added some
what to the fire risks of those includ-
ed within the municipality and 9TH
er matters might be mentioned. So
long as the territory remained un-
annexed it created a liability. and an
expense to the city Of Hillsboro for
which the inhabitants of such an
Hexed territory paid nothing. It was
to cure this situation that this terri
tory was annexed.

FARER TAXATION
ON FARM PROPERTY
Declares at Steele Farmers
Institute That Tendency
Has Been to Ease Up on
Railroads and Corpora
tions to Put More Of Bur-
den on Farms.

Steele, N. D., Feb. 15.-(Special)
At farmers institute meeting here
Monday night Governor r. A. Nestos
pledged the support Of the admins
tration for fairer taxation on farms
J and farm property. He declared that
the tendency during the last five
lyears had been to ease up on rail-
roads and other corporations in
equalizing the taxes while the far
mers are paying larger proportion
of the tax burden than they did five
Years ago and more than their just
land equitable share.
There must be a change in the
proportionment of taxes, said the
governor, "and the only just change
is O reduction in the taxes on farm
lands. The farmers taxes on his real
property have increased more than
twenty-five percent in the last five
years. while the proportion Of the
tax burden borne by the railroads
has decreased in nearly the same
ratio.
"The administration and the legis-
lature must combine their energies
and efforts towards securing more
fair and just proportion OF the tax
burden. think I can promise on
the part Of the administration that
nothing will be left undone to ar
rive at more equitable arrange
ment.' - ..E @....,.

the department of agriculture and
the institute speakers and workers

In. favor OF more diversified farming
which would tend to home building

mittee, J. J. Nierling, it's chairman,
stated that their aim was the: same

proximately $4,000 in addition to

Uncle Joe has not yet filed his pc

announced recently that he would
be candidate before the April prim-
aries regardless of "Uncle" Joe's de-
cision. .....
Just what Congressman Cannon's
political intentions for the immediate
future are, is question. A few

were being made by several to an

such announcement and that he
would inform his constituents of his

REPORT OF COMMITTEE &
ON TAXATION
(By A. H. Sherman, Chairman) !.

(By A. HI. Sherman, Chairman) s.
Your committee on taxation would
beg leave to submit the following
report: ~ -, ..2.y
No we'll advised property owner
will dispute that the most important
and pressing problem now before this
body and the State is the one of our
tax burden. It is so much so, that
all discussion of present business af-
fairs and enterprises sooner or later
leads into this field. This question
has assumed it's enlarged proportions
and forced itself into the public
mind by reason of the serious de-
preston which has existed to such
marked degree in this State and
[thruout the world With us: it has
been matter of long development
and steady increase, but it probably
would not have penetrated the agri-
culture and business interests so
forcibly except for the state Of de-
preston. However, it has been pres
ent all the time for some consider
able period. 3 a Vi. 5..
To briefly point out the magni-
tude Of this problem, it may be not
ed, that for the year 1920, the year
1921 being approximately the same
the people OF this state had levied up
on them Thirty-two Million Dollars
in taxes. This *ponderous burden,
stating It, in another way would be
$4,000 for each man, woman and
child within the border OF the state.

tee, stated that when the proper time

& Talk Filtration Plant III
The need of filtration plant was
discussed briefly by H. H. Hurning,
depressing somewhat from his roads
and paving assignment. Mr.. Hurn-
ing stated that Jamestown had in
vested 100000 in plumbing and
that unless the water was softened in
some way this plumbing.would rap
idly rust out. Cost Of such a plant
was estimated by Mr. Hurning at the
low figure of $4,000, but it would
probably cost more. Mr.. Klaus add
ed he believed filtration plant was
needed more in jamestown today
than additional paving. Harry Wolf
stated his experience in rapid deter
ioration of a. boiler through hard
water action.
Taxation g.. =.
AS chairman of the taxation COM
mittee, A. H.. Sherman called atten-
ton again to the demand for drastic
reduction of taxes. He stated that
the Stutsman county levy had been
decreased for. 1921 under 1920, but
that the total, tax would be larger
because of the state levies, great
share of the increase being for hail
indemnity. Mr.. Sherman urged the
appointment of legislative COM
mtttee by the Jamestown Chamber
OF Commerce to cooperate with 9TH
er commercial organizations of
North Dakota in order that taxes be
reduced either by direct legislation
at the next assembly or by an initiat-
ed law this year. Mr.. Sherman stat
ed he believed certain features of the
initiated laws proposed by Judge
Robinson (referring especially to the
retroactive features), if put into law
would do the state more damage than
had all the Nonpartisan League laws.
Discrimination Valuations
During the taxation discussion
Ormsby McHarg drew attention to
the discrimination in assessments in
which certain classes of property are
not assessed at all, other classes; ;.as-
sessed at SO per cent valuation and
still others at 100 per cent yalua-
ton. such situation which exists
in North Dakota, the attorney held
discriminatory and; unconstitutional.
Attorney McHarg's suggestion was
that owners OF business property ass
sessed at 100 per cent valuation
make a tender of taxes at so per
