VALUATION OF
RAILROADS IN
N. OAK. HIGHER
Tax Commissioner of Montana
Discusses States Tax
ing Laws

Valuations for taxation are, much
alike in Montana and North Oak ota,
when all factors are considered, j.
Montana, said here after an inves-
tigation of taxation laws and their
application. He found much in the
North Dakota tax laws he favored
and in some respects he favors the
elaborate classification system in
Montana.
With respect to railroads, he said
that North Dakota valued the Great
Northern Railroad $4,000 mile
more than Montana. Differences in
rates and other valuations made the
taxation of railroads about the same
in the two states.
81 honestly believe that the rail
roads are paying their share of the
taxes" he said.
Mr.. Walker likes the North Da-
kota law which provides for making
personal property taxes Il prior lien.
The state of Montana loses thou
sands of dollars each year in per-
sonaI property taxes through not
having such law, he said.
Montana, he said, has lower val
uations than North Dakota, but
higher lcvies. Mr.. Walker is the
executive officer of the new tax
commission of Montana. One of the
principal objectives of his depart
msnt now, he said, is to apply
greater taxes to the copper intet-
ests.
He favors the calling of con-
ference each year of taxing authori-
ties of Washington, Montana, North
and South Dakota, and perhaps two
or three other states of the North
west, for the purpose Of discussing
problems and agreeing upon uniform
methods of actions in many cases
which are the same in all the states.

"Out Of this historic convention"

the great mass class Farmer-L Labor
party, Il party that in Il few short
years will dispose of the two capi-
talistic parties tnat hold the power
today and take over the power of
this nation in the name of the worker
and producer of the realm, setting up
Il government of the workers, for the
workers and by 'he workers"
