Great Northern Asks
Reduction in Taxes

A plea for at least a Is per cent
reduction in assessed valuation Of
Great Northern railroad property in
North Dakota was made before the
state board Of equalization Tuesday
by N. G. Doherty, vice president and
general counsel of the railroad. The
board planned to act on the matter
Wednesday.
Tuesdays meeting was to permit
the Great Northern a rehearing.
Previously the board had cut the
roads assessment 3.5 per cent under
the 1881 assessed valuation.
Doherty called attention to cuts Of
is per cent allowed the Milwaukee
and 500 Line, and asked for equal
consideration.
The board Of equalization had
placed the railroads assessment for
this year at $50, 095 900, a decrease of
$2,904997 under the 1881 assessment.
J. T. Mowrer, tax commissioner for
the Great Northern, told the board
that recent drought conditions III
northwestern North Dakota through
which the road operates, had brought
about a sharp decline in revenue. He
said economic conditions make it
mandatory to obtain a reduction OF
taxes.

Declaration that back-to-the-

afford to have secretary; Toms

everybody is cutting down the over

and like the prodigal son these de-

there is food and shelter.
Everywhere the residents tell you
that no longer Is it any problem to
keep the children on the farm. Every
farm building Is occupied. The en-
rollments in many rural schools have
doubled in the last two years. Nat

who have been disillusioned in the
cities are back on the soil to stay.
They are land hungry. They realize,
however, that they cannot live with
their relatives forever and they are
asking themselves where they should
go to own their own homes and

Here is where North Dakota comes
into the picture, Thordarson says.

POWERFUL BOMB WRECKED BLOCK
 AND KILLED ONE
Passerby Was the Victim Two Girls Across Street Injured - The Destruction Was Very Complete

Chicago, Sept 1.-(UP) - A powerful bomb wrecked a $25,OO0 brick building on the southwest side today, killed a passerby and injured two girls sleeping across the street.
 Police were unable to determine whether the bomb was thrown from a nearby 'L" platform set off inside the building Or tossed from an automobile into a store en- trance.
 So complete was the destruction that it was impossible, they said, to determine how the explosion had been set off.
 An unidentified man who was walking past at the time of the blast was killed instantly. All his clothes were ripped to shreds, then caught fire from flames which shot from the debris.
 Rose Patroni, 15, and her sister. Lillian, 17, who were sleeping in their home across the street, were injured by flying glass. All win dows in the vicinity were rocked from their cases.
