Measure to Allow
Tax of State Land
Beaten in Senate

ritory in that it would include lands
acquired by counties.
E. e. Greene Of stutsman asserted
1t would be only fair that the rents
coming from state-owned lands
should help pay taxes, declaring
there are some townships in which
people couldn't afford to live be-
cause just q few people have to pay
all the taxes.
z. r. Mutchler Of Oliver, author
Of the resolution, said the "time may
come when no taxes will be paid"
IT In two years North Dakota has
crops. rain and prices it seems fair
the legislature should be able to tax
these lands" he added.
Asserting that the action would
merely take money from one pocket
and put 1t In another" Senator A.
T. Bonner. r., Of Richland, said the
bank has made . wonderful show
ing" and that II the bill is approved
"a bank deficiency would have to
be made up later"
A. w. Fowler Of Cas- said It was

that has existed In this state for
50 years"

Creation Of the state tax survey

given for recommendations Of In
definite postponement Of three bills.
They propose to raise the basis Of
property assessments for taxation
purposes to 100 percent Of the true
value: limit the maximum tax as
sessments boards may levy against
property, and provide certain exemp-
tons from taxation for farmer own
ers living on their farms.
The fourth bill indefinitely post
poned was that relating to regula-
lions Of weight and loads Of motor

ways.

and returned with her to the Morrow
home at IL p. m.
Koehler Back on Stand
Arthur ]. Koehler, federal wood ex-
pert, returned to the stand to say that
virtually everything said by practical
lumbermen who testified for the de-
tense was wrong, and to assert again
his belief that . part Of the kidnap
ladder-"rail l6''-came from the attic
Of Hauptmann's home in the Bronx.
The mother and grandmother Of the
slain child slipped into court quietly
while Louis ]. Bornmann. a New Jer-
sey state trooper, was rebutting several
points made by the defense In relation
to the removal Of q floorboard from
Hauptmann,s attic.
Bornmann's rebuttal testimony at
tackled the opinion OF q defense wit
ness who qualified as an expert and
said that an attic floor board in EVIL
dence showed no tool marks which
should have been present II the board
was ripped from its joists.
He Pulled Up Board
The trooper said he pulled the
board up with his bare hands. He
also identified nails taken from It
and they were put In evidence. The
defense expert had said he believed
the nails never had been used.
Arthur ]. Koehler. federal wood ex-
pert, followed Bornmann. He testi-
fled it was his positive opinion that
a left-hand upright Of the Lindbergh
kidnap ladder was ripped from the
flooring of Hauptmann's attic in the
Bronx: also that the plane marks
on the ladder had been made by
Hauptmann's own plane.
One Of the points made for the de-
Tense by two practical lumber men
was that the attic board could not
be part Of the ladder rail because It
had more knots than the rail-.
Koehler said the opposite.
Koehler said he examined the lad
der rail in 1888. before Hauptmann's
arrest. and saw in it the four nail
holes which he said jibed with nail
holes in the joists of Hauptmann's
attic. DR.. E. M. Hudson. q New York
physician who testified for the de-
Tense, said there was only one nail
hole In the piece when he examined
it.
The federal wood man said he not
only observed the nail holes but made
q diagram of them.
BY Tuesday night, both sides
agreed, the case should be in the
hands Of the eight men and four
women Jurors.
Hauptmann Appears Satisfied
Hauptmann watched the concluding
day OF testimony Saturday with some
satisfaction.
Il think you have done q good Job"
he told Defense Attorney Egbert
Rosecrans for the defense staff.
Il am satisfied. I think the Jury
now has q good chance to see for
themselves that I had nothing to do
with the Mndbergh kidnapping. I
have clear mind on It. and regard
less Of what comes 1t Will not bother
me-"
do you mean your conscience IS
clear7" questioned Rosecrans.
That's it" the defendant replied.
Rebuttal witnesses for Jersey Fri
day gave an alibi for Fisch on the
night Of the kidnapping.
Isador's sister, Hanna Fisch, who
came from Germany for the trial, en-
tered . categorical denial OF the
charges against her brother that he
had waxed aifluent on ill-gotten ran
som money.
Speaking In her native German
tongue, she painted her brothers re-
turn to Germany In 1888 as an impov-
erished homecoming story Of pow
erty corroborated by Fischs boarding
house landlady, Mrs. Selma Kohl.
