Game Commissioner Sees II;
Farmers Refer to Sandhill

Extinction of the whooping crane
has been disproved. Burnie Maurek,
state game commissioner, went to
Long lake and to another lake four
miles north Of Mercer and saw speci-
mems Of the. bird which ornithologists
had come to believe ~ extinct.
The trip va made Monday after
noon. There were found to be four
Of the birds at the point north Of
Mercer and seven on Long Lake.
They were absolutely ident ifte d.
Maurek said.
Sandhill cranes also continue to
furnish pathological history these
days. There are now 81 many on
Horsehead lake, the game commits
sioner learned while going there
Monday to investigate the migration
Of this type, that farmers now speak
Of them as "millions." One whole
quarter section was found covered by
the birds, with additional flocks scat
tered at other points through the
Horsehead section.
Some cornfields have been plucked
bare of corr by the cranes. said Mr..
Maurek. But the birds have been ex-
ercising ON judgment In their choice
Of feeding grounds. They are clean
Ing up hailed-out rye fields.
The whooping cranes are protected
b. law. The sandhill cranes are re-
gsrded as too tough to excite any
desire to use them as roasts.

ADVISORY BODY OF
TAXPAYERS TO AID
REHABILITATION WORK
Will Assist Assessor in Work of
Adjusting Tax Burden on
Equal Basis

The first of the advisory commits
sions of taxpayers who r to par
ticipate in the introduction of an as
sessing system In Bismarck based on
the methods used in st. Paul was
named Monday evening by the city
commission. This commission will
pass on lot values. Another. to pass
on building values, is to be named
shortly. Both will join with John
Graham. city assessor. in a revalu-
alton of real estate designed not to
increase taxes but to produce what
is set out as greater equalization.
The lot valuation advisory COM
mission appointed by Mayor A. p.
Lenhart on endorsement of Assessor
Graham, consists of F.. L. Conklin,
r. b. Webb. Price Owens, r. D. Hos
skies, Z. ". Iahr. r. A. Young and F..
E. Hedden. It will proceed to work
at once. as its duties will necessitate
some outdoor observations which AS
SCISSOR Graham desires to complete
before winter closes In.
Graham States Purpose
AS q basis for action, Assessor Gra-
ham placed In the hands of the COM
mission for inclusion In its records q
statement of the purposes of the ap-
pointments and the expectations of
the benefits to be derived from the
observations and recommendations Of
the commission. This statement fol-
lows:
1.-The city commission of Bismarck.
after long and careful consideration,
has determined on a program of val
uation for assessment of real property
within the corporate limits. which,
when completed. will place Bismarck
In the foremost rank Of the progress
sive municipalities Of the country.
Roughly stated, the state law requires
the city assessor to determine the
fair market value of the real estate,
land and buildings in the city of Bis
marck. St. Paul, Minnesota. was
probably the first city Of magnitude
to put into effect an up-to-date sys-
tenn of APPRAISAL or valuation for tax
alton purposes. Cleveland, Ohio had.
as early as 1910. put into operation
certain rules governing the equitable
assessment of real estate. which have
been highly successful and satisfac-
tory.
Probably a hundred other cities
have taken this forward step, among
which are Buffalo. Detroit. Fort
Worth. Dallas. Los Angeles, and San
Francisco. Chicago also has just
completed the work of revaluation on
q scientific basis. All Of these cities
have used and r using, fundamen-
tally. the anne system Of arriving at
valuations for taxation purposes.
Other Cities Use st. Paul Model
while the city Of Bismarck does
not offer the same involved condi-
lions which have to be contended
with in very large cities, the same
general rules applied in the work Of
valuation in those cities will also
apply here.
This city is and has been grow
ing rapidly over a period of several
years. AS the service rendered by the
city government is expanded to meet
conditions, the tax burden. carried
largely by the real estate. must be

for small waists as a baby cries for
candy.
They see one of the new frocks
and the saleswoman tells them they
must have a small waist to wear 1t.
Advertisements, fashion stories
everything they read about style
tells them waists are much smaller.
Now, how much IS 'much?' The wom-

They read figure measurements by
the yard telling them that for a GER

Those figures pay no attention to
