Fargo. N. D., Jan. 11.-Thirty

ing and similar vocational work, Will
take place at Bohemian, Mont, JAN
uary 14-17, and is one of the largest

try, declares Mr.. Jones. More than
40 young men competed in u SINH

cism, but it is true of many taxing
districts."-
Remedy Sought
The legislature of 1923, Mr.. Baker
declared, sought to remedy an unfair
distribution Of the tax burden.
"a very great deal of complaint
is being raised by many residents
Of the cities and villages of the state
on account of being forced from the
non paying class to the taxpaying
class" Mr.. Baker said. "This was
the result aimed at by the Legislative
assembly. 1t was their idea that
every dollars worth of property
should be subject to tax. l believe
that it was also their idea that if
each resident were required to pay
taxes that the people would no. be
so ready to vote for increased eX-
penditures OF public money or to in
crease the public Indebtedness. Wher
! each taxpayer realizes that he is vot
| ing money out of his pocket natur
ally he will hesitate in approving
increases in public expenditures an&
public Indebtedness unless the neces
sity thereof is clearly demonstrated.
Under previous taxing laws, MI
Baker said, a large number of citi
zens were relieved from all take
except road and school poll taxes.
Judge I. c.. Davies explained t.
the engineers what increased Juris
diction for the county court woul'
mean.

est payments 1896 percent, all other
purposes 2.65 percent
"The 1928 legislative assembly,
with the help Of the Governors
vctoes, cut appropriations percent.
The state levy of 1923 is cut lG per-
cent and the general fund levy 26
percent"
"The increase in county taxes"
Mr.. Baker said, Cannot be blamed
on any particular item" They did in
crease 49.5 percent from 1915 to
1922"
Increase in Counties
"To considerable extent, the in
crease in county expenditures was
caused by factors over which county
boards had no control or very limit
ed CONTROL said Mr. Baker. an
creased expenditures for care of in
sane. elections, public printing and
general law enforcement was re-
sponsible for over $1,000,000 of the
increase. County roads and bridges
were responsible to very large eX-
tent for the balance OF, the increase.
at might be interesting to you as
engineers" know the total amount
of taxes levied for road and bridge
purposes in the last seven years.
| The taxes levied for county loads
amounted to $11 ,417,92S.75, county
bridge S6.l55,671.73, township road
and bridge 2,109,579.73, town and
village road levies $S10,609.09. To
tai road and bridge levies amount ed
to $50, 493, 1880. This amounted tt
17.5 percent of the total taxes levied
on property in this state in the last
seven years
"TownsKip expenditures have in
creased moderately in the last sever
al years." Mr.. Baker said, "the Chie
increases being for road and bridg'
purposes.
"School taxes" Mr.. Baker said, Gin
creased 40 percent from 1915 t.

A retrospective glance over these
nineteen years gives one an interest
ing, not to say romantic. picture of
the growth of a great idea from a
very small germ.
InnHEurnted in 1900.
For in the first three years. 1900.
1902 and 1903, only America and the
British Isles were involved in play
ffor the trophy. The first American
team was composed of the donor of
the cup, Dwight F. Davis. now as
slStant secretary of war; Malcolm ID.
Whitman and Holcomb Ward. This
team won five matches in a row and
was not defeated.
In 1904 Belgium and France enter
ed the contest and Austria and Aus
tralasia came in the following year.
In 1913 Canada. Germany and South
Africa were entered, and so 1t has
gone until now we see tennis players
OF the civilized world in competition
for trophy which rivals in import
ance the famous Americas cup-Sym-
Dol OF the blue ribbon Of the seas.
No Davis cup match was held in
t1901, in 1910 or in the war years.
but all told there have been pretty
nearly hundred series played among
the various nations since the cup
6rst went into compel tition.
Dohertys Won for England.
AS ALREADY SAID, the United States
Won in 1900. We won also in 1902.
In 1903 the famous Dohertys of Eng
fand came here and opened our eyes
as to the possibilities lying in the
game of tennis as an exact science.
England. thanks to them. won every
year from 1903 to 1906, inclusive
Australasia, with Wilding and
Brookes in their prime. won from
1907 to 1911. inclusive. Then in 1912
the British Isles came back, defeating
australasia in the final. The United
States won in 1913, with the British
Isles participating in the final In
1914 Australasia defeated America in
the finals. The Antipodeans took the
finals from the British Isles in 1919
and since then. in 192O-21-22-23. the
cup has been held by the United
States.

BRITISH LIMIT LISTS
FOR GOLF CLASSICS

LONDON, March 2o.-Regulations
to govern the British amateur and
open golf championships this year
have been issued by the Royal and
Ancient Golf Club of st. Andrews.

ship. to be played over the old course

TENDLER MAY AGAIN
GET LEONARD MATCH
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Lew Tend
ler's victory over Ted Marchant, the
English fighter. has started talk of
another bout with Benny Leonard.
Lew polished off the Briton in fash
ion which suggested that his bad
hands and his physical condition both
have improved. And since Leonard
has got to fight somebody-well. as
the French say, what would you?
The talk is that Tender, in his
new upward climb, will first hurdle
Nate Goldman, the young Port Rich
mond battler, who surprised the fans
on New Year day by handing Lefty
Lew an artistic trimming. Since then
Lew, against the advice of his doubt
ing friends. who advised him to quit
and rest upon his more or less well
earned income, has nursed a secret
ambition not only to lambaste Cold
man. but to climb toward a big sum-
mer bout against the champion.
Leonard certainly has been facing
a poor outlook. The victory of Dun
dee over Pal Moran some weeks ago
removed fine drawing attraction
from Tex Richards summer list, and
when return bout between the two
flivvered everybody forgot about
both Dundee and Moran as opponents
of Leonard
So Tender looks like the only white
hope in sight. No discerning fan
will give three rousing cheers over
the prospects of this bout, eve n
should Tender beat Goldman de-
cisively. That will mean merely that
Goldman was not so good as he look
ed last winter
But in the lightweight class the
patrons of the ring game are in the
position of beggars. not choosers
