BOARD
State Board of Equalization
Raises All Personal Prop
erty Assessments.
STATE AUDITOR RECOMMENDS
TAKING THfi ACTION.
The Assessments Are Raised
from 33 1-3 to 50 Per
Cent.
The state board of equalization
has decided to raise the assess
ment of all the personal property
in the state from 33i to 50 per|
cent. This action was taken in
accordance with the reeominen
dation of State Auditor S. G.
Iverson, who, in an address to
the board, gave statistics to show
that real estate is bearing an un
just share of taxation and that
personal property is underas
sessed.
The resolution making the
change was introduced by J. E.
Cooley of Duluth, who argued
that since banks are assessed at
50 percent of the value of their
property as returned in sworn
statements to the pubhc exam
iner, all personal property should
be assessed on the same basis.
The resolution was strenuously
opposed by some of the members
of the board on the ground that
farmers and live stock owners
will have to pay more than their
share of taxes.
HARD ON FARMER S.
"It's just simply saddling a
load on the farmers," said one of
the members. "Farmers pay
enough taxes as it is. They have
no show to escaping taxes. All
their sheep, cattle, horses, hogs
and machinery are plain sight
where tho assessor can put them
down on the list, while the cap
italists and money men can con
ceal their property."
"I don't see how the farmers
or anybody else will be getting
the worst of it," said J.F. Cooley.
"We simply fix a rule that all
personal property shall be as
sessed at 50 per cent of its cash
value. This simply means that
cows, horses, cattle and the like
a day, and younger men thus
argue that they need not work
nearest dealer or supplied by
John F. Essler, Bemidji
tice
sincesli
shall be assessed on the same send taany address an illustarted
basis as bank stock."
"That what I say," said C. M.
Sprague of Sauk Center, presi
dent of the board. ''This idea of
assessing property wTay
below
what it is worth is not right. All
personal property should be as
sessed at 100 per cent of its cash
value, whether it be cows, horses,
sewing machines or bank stock.
At any rate the basis should be
the same on all classes"of prop
erty."

yesterday and testified thafwhat
her daughter said was true. The
mother said she had been aware
of what was going on but had
kept quiet through fear of her
husband. It was further stated
that the man had been forced to
flee for his life from a North Da

of white caps, six in number, or

Zochanas will be held to the

Climbing Mountains.
Is a fascinating and invigor
atingipastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United States is Mt. Ranier
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet *high. This magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging their glacial de
tritus into thf^Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this'
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 centf

nocent of Kidnapping
Charge.
Earl Geil this momhnr received
a letter from Mike O'Connell, now
resting in the Crbokston jail
charged with being implicated in
the attempt a few days ago to
kidnap the young sen of Dan
Sullivan. Stevens and Thomp
son, also well known in Bemidji,
were arrested on the same charge.
The three are to have a hearing
at Grand Forks Saturday morn
ing.
In his letter to Mr.Geil,O'Con-
nell says he is absolutely inno
cent of the charge, and that his
friend Thompson was the one
who got him mixed up in the af
fair. He will employ Eli Steener
son to defend him.
The Grand Forks Herald says
that Deputy Sheriff Gonyea is of
the firm belief that at least two
of the prisoners are tough char
acters, but he believes that the
third was merely the party as
banker, as he was the only one
in the crowd that had a cent of
money. It is supposed that the
third man is O'Connell

Snoddy has a voice like a crying or
wailing woman, and that it is fre
quently heai.'l a*t night. The professor
said at the ume of the attack that the
voice was different from anything he
hail ever heard, the darkne ss of the
night preventing him from obfuiiUig a
good view of the beast, except that it
was as tall as a man when it stood up
to fight. Accounts of wild men in
wooded countries are not infrequent.
It is possible that investigation may
disclose in this prairie region a wild
