Culture of old Indians
Discussed BY Historian

when there are several strong cul-
lures so close together that there is
unavoidable contact the conditions
are ideal.
"Such was the situation in Cen
trail America. There were the hot
lowlands. the cool plateau and the
temperate stage between, all close
together and each with its own
civilization; and the funnel-shaped
formation of the land tapering
southwark drove them closer. The
result was a superior culture COM
bining all three, possessing great
cities, a written language, and a
high and varied cultivation of
plants for food and clothing"

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1929-05-28

The East Side has just been paved. The
extra tax will make many sweat blood to pay
this and keep the home fires burning.
The community building will create many
more jobs and extra expense.
We are confident that the unselfish resi-
dents of Bismarck will realize that an added tax
for a community building is not going to benefit
the home owners and renters, and on May 81
will vote NO TWO TIMES.
WHY THE HURRY?
Burleigh county levied 1915 mills in 1928
for a memorial building. This will raise $751;
600, Of which $4,000 has been paid. If another
one mill levy is made in 1929, 1890, and 1881, the
county will have collected on January LIST, 1888,
about $4,000 for this project.
The county is not pledged to make this levy.
only a gentlemen's () agreement by the county
commissioners, which does not make it very GER
tain. Who will furnish this money if the county
commissioners fail to live up to the gentlemen's
agreement? Why the hurry?
Because some Of the Bismarck business in
terests back of this movement realize that if
the home owners and renters have a chance to
think this matter over, they will not permit a
mortgage OF q quarter of a million dollars to be
placed on the homes in Bismarck.
Why is a certain Bismarck professional
man investing his money in Minnesota bonds?
The following figures can not be disputed
and will stand the acid test.
Memorial Building Bonds .......... .S125,OOO
SO interest for 20 years ............. $4,000
20 years maintenance "a $4,000 ....... 100000

Real Facts for the Voters on
the Memorial Community
Building Issue
Ten Things to Remember

/. The Bismarck Taxpayers association only
interest in opposing this proposal is that Bis
marck shall not be %mortgaged for a luxury at a
time when home owners and renters are hardly
able to make both ends meet.
2. The increase in taxes will be $500 on each
$1,000 assessed valuation. (See table below.)
5. We have a swimming pool and an auditor
ium, which will do us for several years.
4. We need a court house and need it mighty
bad. If the old court house should burn down,
it will cost each property owner SIPS to quiet
title on the property he or she owns in Burleigh
county.
5. We need a high school and must build it
inside of a few years.
6. Many Of the boosters for a community
building have not paid their personal property
taxes for several years. (See the tax records
in the treasurer's office.)
Z. High taxes and rents will kill any city.
8. The net Indebtedness of Bismarck is over
one million and a half dollars.
8. Many Bismarck lots have recently been adj
vertised by the county auditor and tax deeds
will be issued to the highest bidder.
10. If the taxes are increased any more, many
more lots will go for taxes in the future, so if
you desire to see Bismarck prosper and grow,
VOTE NO TWO TIMES ON MAY 81, 1929.
SOME MORE TO REMEMBER
A community building is a fine thing, if we
can afford it.
An automobile is also a fine thing, but
many cannot afford one.
People do not kick about high taxes, until
they must pay them.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1929-05-28

Net assessed valuation Of Bismarck in 1928,
$7,O39,7 13.
Annual levy necessary to meet the prin-
clpal and interest .$12,50O
Annual levy for upkeep and maintenance 5000
$50 OF the taxes levied are uncollectable
and that much more must be levied
each year to raise the required
dHtOunC l,UUU
$21,5OO
To raise this amount on a 81, $685. 13 valua-
ton, a three mill levy is necessary and the cost
per $1,000 of assessed valuation will be as fol-
lows:
$1,000 valuation $500 S 5000 in 20 years
1,5OO valuation $50 5000 in 20 years
1000 valuation 600 10000 in 20 years
$500 valuation 7.5O 10000 in 20 years
5000 valuation 900 10000 in 20 years
$500 valuation 1850 $1,000 in 20 years
1000 valuation 1900 $4,000 in 20 years
$500 valuation 1850 $1,000 in 20 years
5000 valuation $500 10000 in 20 wears
In addition Bismarck taxpayers must pay
l-3 OF the $4,000 county levy, or about ST. 900
of the memorial tax. There is also great doubt
as to the constitutionality Of this tax.
Taxes on Bismarck property now amounts
to 55.57 mills, or more than 5h%.
Special assessments will increase this to
from 7Ia to 9%o, or even more.

playing his last season with his
alma mater weston is sure-fire
major Lacquer. 1t was noted that
when he left high school some of
the major league scouts were hot
on his tran to sacrifice education
for a big league salary. He re-
fused and has played brilliant ball
for the Boston team ever since.
Weston was one Of the lead
ing hifters in collegiate ranks

used to play the Outfield but
was converted into a first
sacker, and last season led. the
