FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS
The Little Fellow Always Has To Pay

Government of all the people, for the benefit of
of the people and at the expense of the people
of moderate means
Sounds like bolshevism, doesn't it? But we are
just trying to epitomze the following quotations
from the 1923 1924 report of the state tax COM
missioner pages 1880 relative to the present
distribution of the tax burden and which reads as
follows:-
Business structures are still assessed too low
in comparison with other classes of property,
with the result that other property in cities and
villages are, in many instances at least paying more
than their fair share of the expense of maintain
ing the city government and city schools. y **
"The valuation of residence property increased
90 per cent in 1923 because of the change in the
classification law enacted that year. There was
further increase of burden on residence property
due to decrease of about II per cent in the total
assessed valuation of the state The tax burden
on residence property whole increased ap-
proximately ITO per cent between 1922 and 1928
The tax burden on homes distinguished from
leased residences increased to greater
extent.
"In order to equalize the burden of taxes
equitaby between business and residence property
the state board OF equalization, in 1924 reduced
the assessed valuation of residence property in
majority of counties. The 1924 assessed valuation
Of residence property 66 per cent in excess of the
1922 valuation
"* + Public officials are now confronted
with the question as to what they may do to make
more equitable the distribution of the burden of
taxation. 1t is the consensus of opinion, and we
DeeVe IL 10 De true, tnaC owners OF residences OF
the less expensive types are being required to con-
tribute larger amount of the public revenues in
proportion to their ability to pay, and in proportion
to the value of their properties than the
of more expensive residences and also more, pro-
portonately, than the owners of business struc
t1res
The only at present available whereby
you reduce the tax burden your modest home
is through greater efficiency and more economy in
your city government.

RAILROAD MAN
AT CASSELTON
DIES UNDER CAR
(By The Associated Press)

Fargo, N. D., April 1.--Edward
Smith, 80, native of Casselton and
yardmaster for the Great Northern
Railroad there, was killed at that
town, which is near here. when he
was crushed between two cars while
helping make up the Larimore local
train this morning. He is thought
to have been instantly killed while
working at the connlir~s. His mo-
ther and wife survive him.
A watch he carried was stopped
at 6:1O, the time the local is made
up. A heavy fog there this morning
is believed to have obscured his vi
sion of the approaching car that was
backed into the one he stood near.
The body was not dragged by the
coaches, being found directly be-
tween the two cars. He had been
employed by the railroad about 19
years, gradually working up during
the last twelve years to the post he
held.

DODGE FIRM
ACQUIRED BY
N. Y.BANKERS
Sale Said to Involve More
Than One Hundred Million
Dollars in Cash
ENDS FINANCIAL FIGHT
Deal Believed Preparatory
to Merger of Four Great
Motor Corporations

New York. April l. News that
the Dodge Brothers Automobile
Company had been acquired by Il
syndicate headed by the banking
firm of Dillon, Read and Company
Of New York. is prominently pub
lished here today as one of the
most important financial transac-
tions in the history Of the automo-
bile industry. The sale Is said to
have involved more than $100,000.-
900, practically in cash.
Representatives of the banking
firm declined either to affirm or
deny the sale and Clarence Dillon
declared that while final negoti-
htions had not been completed.
some announcement relative to the
deal will be made within a day or
two.
In financial circles it was de-
r>ared the sale consummated
financial battle between Dillon
Read and the house of J. p. Nor
gan, representing the General
Motors Corporation to gain control
of the Dodge Brothers property.
1t was also believed that the sale
was preparatory to a $500, 100000
merger of the Dodge property,
the Packard Motor Company and
the Hudson Motor Company and
the Briggs Body Corporation. al
though confirmation for this was
lacking.
ANNOUNCEMENTS LATER
Detroit, April 1.-(By the A. P.)

Dodge Bros. Inc. to buyer or
group of buyers whose identity
has not been learned, are now in
progress here and announcements
may be made later today, A. c.
Schwartz, local representative OF
Dillon-Read anl Company, NeE
York banking firm, told newspaper
men this morning.
It has been reported for some
time that negotiations were In
progress for the sale of the coLa-
pany. Those in touch with the
situation today, however, held the
opinion that the announcement
contemplated today would not ba
concerning a $500,00O,O00 merger
to include the Packard Motor Car
Company, the Hudson Motor Car
Company, and the Briggs Body
Corporation, as reported In New
York.
1t was rumored some time ago
that attempts were being made to
negotiate such merger but that
both the Hudson and Packard
companies refused to consider the
deal. A report recently that the
sale of the company to the General
Motors Corporation was contem
plated was vigorously denied sew
eral days ago by Dodge Brothers

There was little pause. Then she
