Credit Where 1t Is Due

We do not like to create any ruction In the
Democratic party over the selection oil lion
John B. Kendrick for president nor to settle
any disputes that may arise in those scored pre-
cints with reference to the discovery and naming
of the candidate, but in the interest of truth and
history and all that is otherwise sacred we must
tell the world that it was DR.. j. X. Hylton,
chairman of the Democratic state committee OF
wyoming and not the Buffalo Voice that did all
these things some weeks ago, while the voice
had not vet mustered courage to speak out.
Dr. Hylton it was who issued an open letter
from his Douglas headquarters, published as
an item of news in newspapers of both Republ-
can and Democratic faith. This letter placed Sen
ator Hendricks in the running for the presidency
in solar as the state chairman could do so.
The Voice trailed along later with the letter
and largely in the language of DIR. Hylton sec
onded the motion.
The Voice is, of course, entitled to such credit
as IL is receiving, which seems to be mostly sar-
castle in character. But it certainly cannot be
credited with the discovery of Senator Kendrick
n 8 n suitable contender for the Democratic nom
nation. That belongs to DR.. Hylton.

Their Best Use

The best purpose a warship can have in this
day is illustrated in the prompt mobilization of
destroyers to go to the aid of striken Japan.
Our scout cruisers and destroyers in the mast
nave notably served humanity in many a crisis.
OF late years they have been the taxicabs of the
Black Sea in moving refugees who but for them
would have been helpless. Because of the pres.
ence OF a fleet in the Pacific, we are able
to dispatch ten destroyers from Darien. when

Marital Relations

The census bureau has given out the figures
relative to marriage and divorce in Wyoming
for 1922. and it is shown by them that in the
state. with probably 100000 population, there
Aas been a total of 1888 marriages and 512 di-
vorces in the year.
According to this Wyoming is no better than
some of her sister states, that the divorce blight
has fallen as heavily upon our people as it has
upon others. In our small population approx
tmately one fourth as many divorces as mar
riages is too high a percentage. This is too
many failures in the family business and too
destructive of the hearthstone.
The argument for and against divorce has
long since been threshed out and there are two
schools Of thought upon the question, each with
convictions more or less strong. There is one
point upon which all agree regardless of their
views otherwise, and that is that there is en-
tirely too much divorce for the c~ountry's good,
and separation is now made too easy by the
courts for the good of the men and women who
rush to the Tribunals to dissolve sacred ties,
upon pretexts founded upon trivial disagree
ments between them.
The divorce epidemic has had a run of n
considerable number of years, and it is about
time the fashion went out. With divorce and
remarriage as common as it is at present it will
be a wise child that knows its own parents in
the future. z

property owned by the Equity Coop
erative Packing company was served
Thursday on officials of the company
here by attorneys for the bank. c..

pany's affairs by George Brastrup Of
Courtenay, temporary receiver, ad-
mitted having received the notice and
declared that the foreclosure pro-
ceedings would probably be carried
through. Mr.. Brastrup was in Duluth.
Under state law, 80 days notice
Of intention to foreclose must be
given by the holder of the mortgage
before foreclosure proceedings may
be started. At the expiration of this
period action may be taken in court
to foreclose, or foreclosure may be
made by advertising for period of
six weeks. A sheriff's sale of the
property will probably then be held.
A year is given in which to redeem
the property.

SAYS MANDAN
BISMARCK TOO
LOW IN VALUES
Deputy State Tax Commits
siOner A WerS Com
plants Voiced in Man
dan Over Raise
VALUE COMPARISONS

Complaints voiced in Mandan
against the increases in the as
cneer,nnte md"~ed by the state
board Of equalization on Mandar
reai estate were answered today
by Lyman A. Baker, deputy tax
commissioner, in letter to Man
dan parties. He denies that Man.
dan received unfair dealing.
With increases ordered by the
state board the value of Mandan
real estate for taxation will be
below that of last year, he says.
"The valuation Of city real es-
tate in the city Of Mandan as
returned by the county board of
equalization in 1923 is approx
mateiy % percent of the valuation
returned by said board in the year
1922" he said. "Not only was the
city Of Mandan out of line with
all other cities Of it's class in the
valuations returned by the county
board of equalization but valua-
tions returned by this board on
Mandan real estate in the year
1923 were greatly reduced in COM
parison with any year of the past
four years. In 1920 for instance,
valuations Of lots in the City Of
Mandan were returned by the
county board. of equalization at
$1157.26l as compared with the
valuation returned this year by
said board of $4l5,959.
1.-THE net taxable assessed valu-
alton of Mandan real estate in
the year 1922 after deduction of
exemptions and reduction of resi-
dence property to 80 percent val
uaton was $1,954,53l. The next
taxable assessed valuation in the
year 1923 On a rs per cent basis
will be $1,744,452."
Mr.. Baker holds Mandan assess
ments were out of line with other
cities. A comparison of the as
sessment of all lots as returned
by county boards on a presumed
full value basis in 1923 was = Minot
1891 per capita; Bismarck 1898
per capita; Jamestown SITS per
capita; Devils Lake $246 per cap
tia; Valley City $2O5 per capita;
Mandan 500 per capita; Dickinson
$l9l per capita. Lots in Mandan
were fixed at 500 per capita while
the county board fixed lots in New
Salem also in Morton county, at
$l91 per capita, he says.
A similar comparison of the
yalue per capita on residence
structures as returned by county
boards from several cities is cit
cd as follows: Minot $3.50 per
capita; Bismarck $218 per capita;
jamestown 1927 per capita; Devils
Lake 1884 per capita; Valley City
1922 per capita; Mandan SOB per
capita; Dickinson 1851 per capita.
when the state board took a
look at the above comparative fig
ures, it was apparent at once that
Mandan was unfairly low as COM
pared with the other cities of the
same class, and Bismarck also too
low as compared with Minot and
jamestown, and Dickinson was I'M
reasonably high, and so the state
board raised Mandan and Bismarck
and lowered Dickinson, although
even now after this action of the
state board Mandan is assessed on
residence structures only at rate
Of $227 per capita, which leaves it
lower than any other city of the
