Mantell Plots Trouble
Last week at Mukden, Manchur-
la (the province served by the Chi
nese Eastern Railway and now
menaced by Soviet troops), forth
right John j. Mantell was persuad-
ed to talk to a United Press cor
respondent. He declared that last
year the Soviet officials of the
Chinese Eastern Railway conceal
ed a profit of 100000 and told
the Chinese members of the board
of directors that the road earned
only s1SS,OOO.
"'The Russians kept their books
in such a way that it is practically
impossible to discover where the
money went said Railroader Man
tell. All this makes it apparent
that to patch up peace on the basis
of a return to the status quo ante
lie. with Soviet officials again
managing the road) would be in
tolerable.'
"If such charges were laid before
the Chinese government last sum-
mer they must have powerfully in
fluenced the decision to GUST the
Russians. Direct action has alwayA
been J. J. Mantell's forte. In 1920
when he was New York District
Manager for the Erie Railroad he
broke a crippling strike by running
his trains with crews composed OF
college youths and commuters. BY
speaking out last week he effect

Every owner of farm land be-
lieves, whether he can prove it or
not, that land is taxed higher than
all other property. The Land Eco
Monies Institute of Northwestern
University has just finished a re-
search that provides the proof. In
1927 city property was assessed at
26.S per cent of its real value and
farm property at 81 per cent. In
deed so great has become this dis
elimination that the Farm Board
has begun an investigation. A pre-
liminary survey made by the De-
partment of Agriculture shows
that farm land alone paid close TO
a billion dollars in taxes last year
IN 26 states. It also shows that the
man who rents his farm received
more than one third of the rent re-
ceived for taxes. In Minnesota and
North Dakota it is between 80 and
40 per cent. In Michigan it is So
per, in New Jersey 81. The average
for the nation is about a third.
Under such conditions it is not
to be wondered at that the action
of the North Dakota board of
equalization lowered the assessed
valuation Of farms in that state
six million dollars and added to the
valuation of town property and
public utilities about six and a
quarter million. That does not be-
gin to set the balance even. But
it is a start.
Whether it will help the farmer
who lives on his own land is a
question. The townsman, finding
his taxes up, will simply hoist the
overhead and tack it to the selling
price of goods the farmer buys.
The public utilities will 90 in
under a demand for reasonable
returns on investment" and get a
rate high enough to cover the in
creased taxes. But one outfit pro-
fits. 1t is the insurance and farm
loan corporations that have fore
closed on farms. At the present
rate of taxation the land thew
grabbed was too hot to hold. Now
they can carry it easier and even. |
tually sell if not at a profit at
least not at loss.
To some it may seem amazing
that after all these years of pro.
test the farmer who owned his
land got no consideration in divid- |
ing the tax load until foreign cor
porations felt the pinch. An exam |
ination of the register Of deeds Of |
flee records in Red River valley
counties indicates that 400 of the |
land there is now owned by corpor-
ations. The land taxes built a fire
under them and how quickly they
moved for relief So when the land |
owning farmer sends a note of
gratitude to Gov. Shafer, John
Steen, ]. A. Kitchen and other
members Of the equalization board
for cutting the taxes he might re-
