STATELAVD COMMISSIONER SUGGESTS
CHANGE IN PLAN OF APPRAISlNC LAND

Recommendation that the method
Of appraising land on which loans are
asked from the state board of uni
vcrsity and school lands is contained
in the 18th biennial report Of State
Land Commissioner Carl r. kOSitzky
to Governor A. G. Sorlic. In many
instances. Kositzky said, political or
other influence has caused county
appraisal boards to place the value Of
land at from two to four times its
actual worth. Persona receiving such
exorbitant loans fail to pay them and
the state becomes owner of the prop
crty. having paid more for it than
could be realized by the holder in any
other manner.
The text Of Kositzy's report fol-
lows:
II can truthfully say that while I
have been land commissioner Of
North Dakota, l have ut all times en-.
dcavorcd to perform the duties in
connection with this department in
accordance with the provisions of the
law, and the state and school lands
IRE producing more and more revenue
each year for the reason that when
certain Unbiased lands are not pro-
ducing revenue We ascertain the rca-
son why.
Collections Are Good
"Thc amount Of money collected
during the last three years from per-
sons trcspassing on such lands has
amounted to about $4,000 year and
our investigations have been very
profitable to the state. Much land
which has never been leased before is
now being leased and no doubt will
be leased in the future as long as we
conduct our Investigations.
During the period Of this report
the board Of university and school
lands invested $l,775,65O in farm
loans and $2.364,l50 in bonds. also
has approved new loans in the
amount Of about $1.OOO,0OO which are
being paid as fast as the same can
be closed.
"Thc board Of university and school
lands has offered reward Of $25 to
any person giving information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction Of
any person discovered removing
wood, timber and improvements from
state and school lands and the results

obtained have been very beneficial
to the state.
Work Is Increased
"The work in this department has
increased terribly during the past
two years on account Of the many
loans being forcclosed; cancellation
of land contracts, Investigations and
the taxes the state has been com
PEELED to pay Oh lands moftgagcd to
the state. In 1926 and up to July LIST,
1920, the state was compelled to pay
about 1851 900 in taxes out Of the
permanent funds Of the state and
half Of this amount will never be re-
funded TO the state, for the reason
that the state has acquired title to
the land and the amount has been
added to the loans.
'''The state NOW owns about 1000
quarter sections OF cultivated lands
ACQUIRED through foreclosure pro-
ccedings and the cancellation Of con-
tracts. Many OF these arc improved
and nearly all arc being leased. In
checking up the forecloscd loans VIC
find that many excessive loans have
been made in the past mostly due to
the high appraisal Of the land made
by various county appraisal boards.
Several thousand acres Of this
land are almost worthless and the
state will never be able to sell the
same for half of the amount that
there is invested in the land. No blame
can be placed on the board of uni
versity and school lands for making
excessive loans for the reason that
all lands on which state loans are
made must first be appraised by the
county appraisal board and the board
Of university and school lands acts
accordingly. We find that some
county appraisal boards have in the
past appraised lands for farm loans
from two to four times more than the
actual value of the land, mostly due
to political influence, and we have
come to the conclusion .thRt the, pyes-
ent system of appraiser &3laDds yor
state loans is wrong, and sooner or
later must be changed. If not. the
permanent funds of this state will be
greatly diminished each year and in
time the state will own more lands
than originally was granted to the
state by the federal government

Jamestown Nine
Defeats Mandan

Even a seventh inning batting raj
~ did not save the Mandan Shopcraft
nine from defeat, IL to 3, at the
hands Of the jamestown Shopcraft
team Monday afternoon at the local
diamond. The three scores piled up
by Mandan during that inning were
secured by Simpson, Boehm and Van
Eyck. The game was very loosely
played throughout on both sides, but
heavy hitting swayed the balance in
favor Of the city on the James.
Scores for jamestown came in the
fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth periods
of play. The fifth inning gave the
jamestown aggregation five runs. to
which the sixth inning added four
more. The eighth gave them two and
the ninth one. The scoring for James
town was done by the following men.

Miss Mary Stark
Returns From Trip
to Sesquicentennial

Waiting until the excitement in
cident to the return of her COM
panions had died away, Miss Mary
Stark, winner Of the American
Teacher award, slipped quietly
back into her home city Friday
night.
Wonderful, wonderful" were
the only words she could find adc-
quate to describe the consideration
that was shown the winners of the
teacher and pupil awards at Phil
adelphia and on their way there.
The exposition, to which they re-
ccived free transportation and ad-
mission as guests of the manage
ment was very fine, according to
Miss Stark.
Of the days at the scsquicentcn-
NAL, she thought the Fourth of
July was the most interesting his
torically, and for purely personal
pleasure she awarded the palm to
that day at Atlantic City.
Visit Valley Forge
On July 4 they visited Valley
Forge for tho dedication Of the
i"Washington Memorial" church at
that place. But that came after
they had seen Liberty Hall in the
morning in Philadelphia and then
went round to see the old Quaker
Meeting house and Christ Church,
where George Washington wor-
SHIPPED while in Philadelphia.
| During their stay the teachers
and students were lodged at the
girls school some distance from
Philadelphia and rode in to town
every morning on a bus. The trip
usually took about an hour, and
there were some lively debates on
board the bus, in which teachers
and pupils took part. Miss Stark
paid glowing tribute to the teach
crs and students with whom she
was associated while at the exposi-
ton.
"There were some fine teachers
there who have been in the work
for 80 or 40 years." she said, land
/ some Of the brightest pupils | have
ever known were included in the
/, group"
Exposition Wonderful
They were taken all over the
Exposition and saw everything
there. It was all very fine even
though, as Miss Stark heard later,
it was not altogether complete at
that time. She expressed the be-
!, lief that it is even finer now.
Then there were side trips, q
day in New York, side trip to
Mount Vernon and a trip to At
lantic City.
II would like to have stayed a
week in Atlantic City" she COM
mcnted.
There was trip to Washing
ton, d. c., where the members Of
the party saw President Coolidge
and were awarded medals of gold
by his own hand.
! There was trip to see the home
Of Betsy Ross, maker Of the origin
al American Flag. Passes ad-
\ mitted them everywhere. They
Travelled on special trains and
chartered boats.
| Takes Extended Trip
AT the conclusion Of their time
at the exposition Miss Stark part
ed from her two companions, one
of whom went to New York cit,
and the other for 2 visit in Canada
