while awaiting specific reports
from Europe on the German crisis
and the remedies proposed to re-
store confidence on the Con-
tinent. Conditions were some.
what reversed in our principal
financial markets.
Bonds, cotton and commodities
of various kinds held steady, par
alleling the recoveries in the Brit
ish markets, while stocks settled
down gradually to lower price
levels in a dull and featureless
session.
Big Traders Shy
Even the big traders" and
professionals preferred to stand
on the side-lines today rather
than risk commitments on either
side of the market. 1t is gen.
orally believed that when politi-
cal gestures had been completed,
a way would be found to help
Germany out of her difficulties.

showed little or no change from
the late forenoon. United States

WOOD AND FOSSILS FOR PARK

from the center Of Lemons busi-
ness district. The pillars are built
of vari-colored specimens Of pertified
wood and stone formations and form
a sort of gateway to the prehistoric
castle" in the center of the park.
The base of the castle is formed
from slabs of great trees, some of
them showing marks probably made
by prehistoric beavers and worms.
The castle will be about 20 feet high.
Grouped about the borders of the
park, which will be $50 by $50 feet
in dimensions when completed. are
many specimens of petrified trees
and interesting fossil and stone for
nations. including a number of"can-
non balls" The latter are round
masses of sandstone, some of which
weigh more than 5000 pounds. They
vary in diameter from three inches
to three feet and some pairs are
joined and are shaped like dumb
bells.
In the collection Is a variety of
hardwoods and softwoods, both pet
rified and agatized, some containing
crystals. Some of the slabs are from
trees closely related to the California
Sequoia, according to Quammen. One
of the petrified logs in the county,
which has been only partly uncov-
cred, measures seven feet across SO
feet from the base and four feet il
width 80 feet from the base
One 80-acre tract near Lennon,
Quammen said, yielded $1,000 pounds
of petrified wood for the park.
Workmen have gathered 215 tons
of petrified wood; six tons of petri-
fled bones from large prehistoric ami
mails said to be named titanothe-
rum; a smaller amount of petrifled
fish, snails, and other occupants Of
water; petrified grass and fossils of
tree leaves; and few tons of quartz
found in both North and South Da-
kota.
These unique objects are found in
the land formation which once was
the basin of a salt lake covering
parts Of the two Dakotas, Quammen
says.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

Every veteran of the entertainment
world knows that atmosphere, an elu-
sive something which gives produc-
ton background, colora and the quail
ity Of being convincing, is essential to
the success Of motion picture. It
Is the spark that has given life and
reality to most of the dramatic offer
ings Of great producers. This element
is not injected into a picture by acct
dent. It is carefully planned from the
very beginning.
The settings are naturally the frs:
requisite. Then comes the selection
Of types that are in keeping with the
background and the story develop
ment. Ever since the advent of talk
ing pictures. the blending of rhythmic
sound and action with the other at
mospheric details has been given
painstaking attention.
An Illustration Of the way atmoS-
phere has been blended with sound
and action is Lionel Barrymore's di-

bank STOCKHOLDERS
ARE LIABLE FOR TAX
Opinion Is Drawn by Assistant
Attorney General for Dicksy
Treasurer
0,sa, ~ .MGA seNvce me-.

Bank stock may be assessed in the
name of bank, but If the bank fails
the stockholders are liable for the
tax, Charles Simon. assistant stat>
attorney general, ruled in an opinion
furnished to H. j. Oberman, Dickey
county treasurer at Glendale.
The opinion was given in reply t1
inquiries as to the assessment OF
bank stock in the case of the Farm
ers' State bank of Fullerton, which
closed June IA, 1890.
The bank, in the past, had paid
the taxes on the shares of stock oi
the bank, acting as the agent of the
stockholders.
1T has been the practice In this
state," the opinion said, Ito have the
bank stock assessed in the name Of
the bank for the convenience of the
stockholders, but in order to have the
stock assessed in the name Of the
bank. the bank must sign written
request for such assessment, but il
the Q nix fails, the stockholders are
liable for the tax"
Oberman advised the attorney
general that stockholders Of the bank
appear to be Of the opinion that II
an assessment is proper that the re.
ceiver of the closed bank should pay
such tax.
This question, Simon stated, ha.
already been passed on by the STATE
supreme court in the case Of Ware
county and A. 8. Spicher, as sheriff
of Ward county. against the receiver
Of the American State bank at Bur.
lington. In this case the supreme
court stated that the taxation o.
banks and loan and trust companie;
contemplates tax on the shares o.
stock belonging to the. stockholder'
and not a tax on capital stocks o.
assets.

|ACKER SPEAKS AT
TAXPAYER SESSION
Urges Ward County Group to
Exercise Care on Special
Improvements

Minot, N. D., Sept. 26.-(P)-Care-
full consideration by city and village
governing boards of proposals or pc
titions for the creation Of improve
ments that involve special assess
ment taxes was urged by 1ver Ackcr
state tax commissioner, at an organl-
zation meeting Of the Ward County
Taxpayers association here Satlr-
day.
Before an improvement of this ma
ture is authorized, he said, the prop
erty owners affected should be fur
nished with information showing as
closely as possible. what the total cost
and the annual cost, will be to them
Special consideration should be
given to the probable deficiencies
that may result in the payment OF
special assessment warrants" he
added. "The law which authorizes
the creation Of such improvements
provides that the property benefited
shall pay the cost of such improve
ment. Owners of property affected
must receive notice and they have
the right to protest against the crea-
ton Of such improvement.
Under section 1928 of the COM
piled laws, city may contract. to
pay one-fifth of the cost of a spe-
cial improvement. This, however, Is
uone only when it is recognized that
there is a general need for such ina
provement and that the welfare
comfort and convenience Of all the
people of the city will be promoted
thereby. The construction of q wa
terworks system is an example o1
such an improvement.
Frequently, however improve
ments are undertaken which merely
confer a local benefit. Nevertheless
section 3716 of the compiled laws as
amended in 1929 and 1881 requires
the governing body of city to make
a general levy when a deficiency oc-
ours in the payment of special i'm
provement warrants. The result il
that taxpayers who have received nc
benefit are taxed to make up such
deficiency. In several municipalities
IN this state this condition has Gre
ated a heavy and unfair tax burden
on property owners who have had nc
voice in the creation of the improve.
! naent, have had no legal right to pro.
test against its creation and have re.
ceived no benefit. In my mind there
IS a serious doubt as to the advisa-
bility of the law which authorizes
such levies. There should be a def
mite limitation on levies to pay such
deficiencies"
