MAY NOT CUT
VALUATIONS
Law May Bar State Board
from Taking Action

The state board of equalization en-
tered today upon consideration of as
sessments of lands and other proper
ty in the state as reported by the
county boards, for the purpose of
making final valuations for taxation
purposes.
Most of, the members Of the board
are known to have favored reduc-
ton in the assessed valuation Of
property in the state Of from 10 to
20 per cent, believing that assessed
values have been so high as to per-
nit a comparatively low tax rate to
yield too great returns in many in
stances. In considering reduction
of the assessed valuation, however,
members of the board discovered thu
they were confronted with a provi-
sion made by the 1919 legislature
which apparently makes it impossible
to reduce the valuations as whole.
A section of the law enacted In the
special session of 1919, said: "The
Estate board of equalization shall not
reduce the aggregate valuation Ut all
the property in the state as returned
bv the several county auditors more
than one per centum of the whole
valuation in the law thereof" 1nves-
tigation is being conducted to deter
mine whether later enactments could
he construed in such way as to per-
nit the state board to make the de-
creases proposed. 49,,
There have been many complaints
in the state of the result of the
change in the valuation of property
which was made beginning with 1919,
whereby property, with exceptions,
was to be assessed at true cash value.
The growth of the assessed valua-
tions is shown by the following to-
tails: 1918, $4O3, ,s22,25s; 1919, ST.
23.746,929; 1920, $2,544,7s',6lt,
1921, 100000. The sudden in,
crease in the assessed valuation in
creased greatly the limit of taxation
throughout the state.

ONE-THIRD LAND
BEING TAXED

Fl. Yates, N. D., Aug. 21-As yet
but one-third, approximately, of all
the land in Sioux county is taxable.
Records in the county auditors Office
for this year show that 231, ,35O.58
acres in the county are listed for tax
alton. There are about 100000 acres
in the whole county. Deducting the
taxable acreage from this leaves ap-
proximately 468,650 acres that are
not as yet subject to taxation. This
represents Indian land for which pat
ent-in-fees have not been issued and
certain amount of homestead land
on which final proofs have not been

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 21.-Re-
markable wheat yields for all Stark
