Too Little Land Taxed
The second part of our report
deals with exempt lands. We in
district As are handicapped, not
only by delinquent taxes, but by
the fact that so little of our land
is assessed. Yet we have to run
schools nine months, have the
best of teachers, etc. 1 have a
map of District As that will con-
vince you that more land will have
to be patented and taxed, if we
are to continue running schools.
Look at these figures taken from
the assessors books.
6 sections out of SO in township
80, range 46, are assessed;
2 sections out of IS in township
80, range AZ are assessed. We are
running two schools in this terri
tory.
20 sections out of SO in township
81, range 46 are assessed;
8 sections out of 10 in township
81, range AZ are assessed. We
have two schools here.
8 sections out of SO in township
80, range 46 are assessed;
4 sections out of IS in township
80, range AZ are assessed;
10 sections out of IS in township
20, range 46 are assessed;
8 sections out of "a in township
29, range AZ are assessed;
8 sections out of SO in township

4 sections ont of Sc in township

4 sections out of Sc in township
81, range 46 are assessed;
6 sections out of 25 in township
81, range Al are assessed;
p section out of 5 in township
26, range 46, is assessed.
Districts 8, 1 and 9 have the
same conditions. Schools are rum
ming, but real estate is not being
taxed in any great amount. On ]
other reservations in the state or
where land has been homesteaded, '
and on federal irrigation projects, t
we find similar conditions. Much
work must be done to remedy c

these conditions.
Report Appreciated

The report of this committee
astounded the assembly. Supt
John Dietrich said it was the best
report that has ever been brought
in. The Assembly gave us a ris-
ing vote of thanks, voted to con-
tinue us for another year, and in
vited the chairman to meet with
the legislative committee in the
spring. Our school board has also
been invited to send a member
to the Montana state meeting of
school members, which will be
held in Great Falls in February.
This member is to give this re-
port. The assessor of Lewis and
Clark county came up to hear the
report, asked for a copy to be
mailed to him, and congratulated
us on our findings. The problem
in his county is state lands. This
is being fought out in Lewis and
Clark court now.
All districts have problems. We
have our share. 1t pays to talk
with the other fellow. Perhaps
two can solve a problem that one
can't.
Supt Grandez of Terry said
that his county published the en-
tire tax list-real and PERSONAL
including credits in solvent banks.
He said that it paid. More taxes
are being paid as a result of this

same.

cannot continue having what
want without paying for it. A
man has exempt property, yet en-
joys all the privileges of the man
whose land is taxed. The man
whose property is assessed then
pays for both.
My attention was called to a
sharp practice in another county.
A person had 1000 head of steers
and assessed them along with a
worthless lot. The whole thing
vent delinquent. He thus got out
If a tax on his personal property.
IF course a shrewd assessor will

However, a high priced a and a
worthless lot can be combined in
he same way. 1t is up to all to
that each pays a just share

PRAYER FOR CHICAGO

Chicago citizens and public men have protested
often that the outside opinion Of that city is wrong
that is crneridden but as decent and law-abid
ing other American cities, in proportion to popula
ton.
The Chicago churches evidently do not think So
The Church Federation has unanimously resolved
upon day Of public prayer for the cleansing of the
city On March citizens are asked to assemble and
implore the help Of the Almighty in the purifying of
Chicago politics.
Conditions IN Chicago, says the resolution, 'have
reached place where the ballot box is wantonly vo-
lated, life and property in large safe

graft and corruption are besmirchng the good

partnership between criminals and officials, as
shown by the existence of hundreds of gambling
joints and vice dens openly tolerated"

own people

of the country will hope SOdom and Gomorrah them

GENEROUS AUTHOR

Thomas Hardy, the English novelist and poet
left in his will request that his complete poems, the
favorte work of his latter years should be published
Eat reasonable price, to be within the reach OF
the poorer readers
This attitude is calculated to warm the hearts Of
many readers. Not that there is any Overwhelming
demand for Hardys poems But the practice OF poets
is to publish little dabs Of poetry in many separate
volumes, that any particular poem is hard find
and their complete works almost enough to stock
a small library, until after the copyright has expired
Anyone who tried to buy poems in the authors
lifetime knows how that IS
Mark Twain tried to make this situation still
worse by persstenty demanding a perpetual copy
right for books
All books which are, or should be, popular ought
to be sold in cheaper editions Tor those who want
them as in Europe. Our publishing business is very
slow to the merit OF cheap quantity production.

INVENTIONS

1t is familiar experience of inventors to find that
ideas and devices they have worked and supposed
original with them really Old Still, there are some
surprises for the public about many of our modern
improvements.
The pneumatic tire shown by British records,
invented in l845, and fountain pen patented
in 1909. Roller skates invented in 1928 There
said to have been safety as long ago as
1862. There "loudspeaker' in England in 1911
ent models.
These and many other devices were of little use,
and therefore little heard Of at the time they
produced, because the world wasn't ready for them.
The pneumatic tire, for instance, had to wait for good
roads Many wonderful inventions have doubtless
failed for lack of manufacturing skill.
