ON TAX REDUCTION
Dickinson. N. Oak.
May 26th, 1894

Editor. Tribune:
In your daily paper Of May 2lst
on the editorial page, second column,
you have an article under the heading
Dollars or Sense" taken from, or
written by, a North Dakota Teacher
II don't know which. The article
would leave the impression that the
cut in the state tax levy really
amounts to &c on the average quarter
section Of land valued at $4,000. Rails
ing the figure on the difference In the
mill levy OF 1882 for state purposes
which was 6.83 mills, or .04 mills more
than the 1888 levy, the party who
wrote the article said 1t was only a
matter of simple arithmetic. which is
true; but, IN the first place. the writer
ignored entirely the fact that valua-
tons have been changed Instead OF
assessing real estate the same for 1888
as it was assessed in 1892. the state
board Of equalization reduced the val
ues 10 per cent on real estate. So
that farm valued in 1882 at $4,000
was valued at only $500 in 1888. The
difference Is $500 in assessed value
The 1892 and 1888 levies were figured
upon only 50 per cent Of the assessed
value.

Editors note-The article chal-
lenged by Mr.. Culver was IN edi-
torial which first appeared In the
North Dakota Teacher. q maya
zine published by the North Da-
kota Education Association and
circulated to its membership In
this state. The article states
specifically that the valuation Of
the property taken for illustra-
ton was identical on the tax roll
for the two years. It may have
been city property.
Mr.. Culver Is wrong when he
says real estate is assessed only
once In two years"
Taxes are levied against 1t every
year It is revalued for assess
nnent only once In two years.
The way for any property own
err to find how much he was saved
or not saved--is to check this
years tax bill with that for last
year. The amount shows there
in dollars. This figure Is the net
result. It obviates all juggling OF
tax rates and valuations.

sents a most important part Of our
economic structure" says Carnes.
Last year the combined income
amounted to Sc, 400, 900 and 25.4 per
cent of this amount was derived
from the sale of livestock. It is my
opinion that starving animals of
poor quality that cannot be shipped
should be slaughtered on the farms,
but in all cases feel that founda-
ton herds should be maintained.
This should be true, particularly
with high grade and pure bred live
stock that have been developed to
a high degree of efficiency.
1T may seem to be an inconsist-
ent statement for a commission
man to make but I firmly believe
that it Is unwise for farmers to
ship large supplies of thin, ema-
ciated supplies of livestock to the
markets of this country unless the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration is willing to step in and
buy at satisfactory prices. Pur-
chasing power throughout the
world is at a low ebb and feeder

American Ideals benefits us by de-
veloping our character as well as
serving our country. The young
man just out Of school loafing in
the pool hall is not building up his
character. The young boy Of
school age not attending school is
not building up his character.
Neither of these is preparing him
self for the life work he hopes to
accomplish. The boy who makes
the best of his educational oppor-
tunities and tries to live up to the
code of good citizen is developing
his character to a high degree.
The young man with good char
acter will also make good father
to his children. The man who
spends his time in a worthwhile
way is much better suited to pro-
vide for a family than the man who
spends his time in pool hall or the
man who associates with. persons
Of known low character.
Good citizenship then, is a won
derful builder of character. It
helps to mold the worthy citizens
Of tomorrow, who will make this
country bigger and better.
