ASSESSORS TO
DO WORK WELL
Books to Be Used in Obtaining
Farm Production Data
Distributed

Distribution to county auditors
Of statistical books to be used by
assessors in obtaining farm pro-
duction and other data as required
by law. has been accompanied by
plea from Joseph A. Kitchen,
commissioner of agriculture and la
Dor, that the assessors do the work
we'll.
In circular letter, Kitchen urges
each assessor to do his best Tin

ords Of the state for 1928 will be
complete. There are 50 many cx-
aggerated estimates made on crop
production that we feel are unfair
to the farmers as they have q ten
dency to cause prices on farm
products to drop. The correct state
statistics help to remedy this injus-
tice. But you know the statistics
you gather this spring for 1927 will
probably not be available for dis
tribution until late this year and
could possibly have no reaction on
prices.
There are many inquiries coming
to this office from other states ask
ing crop productions and acreages
in certain parts Of the state. We
provide them with the statistics as
certified to this office by he couny
auditors, as these are the only Off
cial state statistics. If assessors have
been lax in their duties and stats
tics make a poor showing, it brings
those sections into disrepute as be-
ing poor producing sections Of the
state. On the other hand, we do
not care to have any exaggerated

MANDAN news
CARY SUIT Is
MISSED IN
MANDAN COURT
Judge Pugh Ends Tax Suit
Brought by Realtor
Against City

A decision of state wide interest
was handed down today by Judge
Thomas H. Pugh, of sixth judicial
district court, when he dismissed ac-
ton of L. N. Cary, local realtor,
seeking to n,andamus the county au-
ditor to issue tax deeds for property
bid in at q delinquent tax sale in
June, 1926.
Previously Judge Pugh held the
legislative act Of 1925, rewriting
the method Of county acquisition
and sale of delinquent tax real es-
tate, to be constitutional and was
sustained by the supeme court.
The suit dismissed today was
based on the right of the county
board to reject bids which were less
in amount than the state general
tax, the schools taxes and the spe-
cial assessment taxes for city inn
provements.
The city of Mandan was interest
ed especially in the case. If the
suit had been decided for Cary, ii
would have meant reassessment Of
the city in spreading more than
100000 worth Of paving and sewer
costs.

BROADWAY IS

Tacoma Reviewer Says It Is
Most Interesting Show
There in Months

broadway" the big New York

been playing west coast towns and

night stand on Monday, April 9, is
q distinct success. This is evil
denced by the following review
written by Hi Green of the Tacoma,
Wash, News Tribune, following the
first appearance Of the company
there:
THE PLAYS THE THING!"
Even in q Broadway cabaret. The
show must 60 on! Death, murder,
grief, love-all are shelved at the
cue for appearance on the stage, and
the comic mask cloaks aching hearts
and plotting brains.
Around this text Phillip Dunning
and George Abbott have built
Broadway" appearing here.
The murder that marked high
spot in the first act wasn't the only
crime at the theatre last night, eth
er, for misery handful Of Tacoma
fol-. saw what is just about the best
staged. best-presented and most in.
teresting performance that has been
in this city for many months past.
Speed, action, thrills, comedy,
pathos, romance-what more does
anyone want in show? And they
were certainly on tap in Broadway
last Its fixing action is what
has probably made broadway" one
Of the outstanding successes of the
American stage. There is not mo-
ment in IT, entire production when
the audience can sit back in the
seats and "wait for something to
happen"
Laid "back stage" in the private
party room Of one of Manhattan's
night clubs, q really fine orchestra
playing out in the ''cafe" off-stage,
and bootleggers, gunner, chorus
girls, the "hoofer," the Greek man
ager, walters and q really good
bull" from the headquarters h0mi-
eide squad-all serve to keep things
moving at top speed.
A bootleggers' war, = love story
that alternated between pathos and
comedy and q couple of spicy kill
ings-it's no wonder things stepped
along rather rapidly.
It's hard to pick a "star" out of
the company. Seems as though the
members had been picked for their
parts with more than the usual acu-
men, for they turned in q presenta-
ton that left one wondering if, on
the level, they hadn't been . bit of
the life themselves.
But out Of the company. the work
of Hobart Cavanaugh, the "hoofer"
with personality; Maurice H. Black
as Nick Verdis, the Greek who ran
the dump; Dee Loretta a. Lii Rice,
relic Of better days: Hooper Atch-
ley as "Steve," the gunman boss of
the bootlegger gang, and Richard
Cramer as dan McCorn," head
quarters man, stood out, perhaps for
that they carried = lot Of the play.
If you like a fast-moving enter
tainment, broadway" will fill the
bill. Oversqueamish folk, addicted
to niceties Of expression, may find
the going rough at times, for the
characters in this show speak the
language Of the tribe they represent
and a spade is usually q spade and
no more fuss about it.
If you missed last nights per-
Torrance, that's your hard luck! II
you miss the performance tonight,
it's your own fault!

POincare Government
Considering Plan to
COmmercialize Bonds

Paris, April o. (AP) -1ntima-

plan whereby railroad and indus

as guarantee OF payment Of the
Dawes plan annuity might be COM
mercialized so that France and
other creditors OF Germany may
realize cash on them has been CIV
en- by Premier Poincare.
Speaking at Carcassone yester-
day, the premier said that wit,
proper regard for French security
and rights to reparations, France
would willingly accept, when the
time comes. arrangements which by
marketing OF the bonds will permit
our recent allies, Germany and US
to settle our debts more rapidly"
The scheme, which has been un-
der consideration for the past three
years, has been delayed by various
difficulties, the first OF which was
to obtain an understanding with
Germany by which her permission
would be obtained to make the
bonds negotiable on the open mar
ket.
The railroad and industrial obli-
cations under the Dawes plan are
now in the form OF two pieces Of pa
per whereby German railroads and
industries are pledged for the pay
ment Of reparations. Those bonds
draw five per cent interest. When
It was first proposed to commercial
ize them, money was so high that
they could not have been marketed
without a considerable concession
In price. Now that money is easier,
the French government regards the
prospect as better. Meanwhile the

Minister BRAND Of France and For
