have any two clubs combined. In
fact they have got 'rid" of small

part have received the short end Of

If Frank Chance had only part of

IN THE CITIES

The appropriations committee, of
which Rep. Watt, Cass county, is
chairman, demonstrated it's inten-
ton to pare senate appropriations
if possible. It recommended a cut
in the historical society appropria-
ton from $4,000 to $2O,710, the re-
duction being the salary of the cur
ator Of the society museum from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. 1t also cut
total tax of $37.62 in Bismarck in
1922 would under the new law pay
$71.36; a property of a laborer
which Melted a total tax of $31.82,
was listed at $46.49, a 46 percent
increase, while certain travelling
salesman's residence which netted
$49.19, under the new law would
yield $93.O4 an increase of 80 per-
cent.
The administration leaders are
fully aware of the possible protest
that might develop. They say,
however, and concede that there is
an inequality between the taxes of
the city resident and the farm
dweller and the inequality must
be adjusted. Too, they point out
that the ideal method of taxation
is the removal of every exemption
and the levy of taxes on 100 per-
cent valuation. This is held inn
possible at present and is some
thing that must be worked up to
gradually. Under the proposed IS
percent assessed valuation plan
with practically all exemptions re-
moved except those on farm pro-
perty thousands. would bear a more
just and equitable share of gov
eminent costs.

They cite figures taken sfrom
the records of Burleigh county
which apply to villages throughout
the state. One taxpayer at Wing
paid rs cent tax on his residence
lot. and through exemptions but
$2.77 on his buildings total of
1852 and no personal property
tax. Under the proposed change,
his lot would be but go, his build
ing 1882 and personal property
1896, total of $19.58, total in
crease of 456 percent. A. general
store in the village of Wing, paid
on lot and building $7.68, with no
personal property tax. Under the
change and abolition of exemp-
tions, the same property would pay
$22.91, an increase of 1913 percent.
