HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. Time to Act. On Monday night the city council will hear the second reading of the ordinance which proposes to regulate dance halls and theaters in Bemidji and it will be at this time that améhdments will be proposed and voted on. Since the first reading of the ordinance July 15, there has been much discussion of its features and the city apepars to be somewhat di- vided over the questions involved. From comment which has come to the Pioneer, it seems that the main issue will be whether or not theaters “should be allowed to operate on Sun- day. It is rumored that one amend- ment will be offered changing the ordinance to read so that theaters without vaudeville may operate on Sunday night. These and other ques- tiong will be considered Monday. While the Pioneer believes that the theaters would lose nothing fi- nancially by the closing of the thea- ters on Sunday evening, yet it has realized that there are two sides of the question and does not want to be unfair, The only way in which the citizens can make plain their wishes is to let the councilmen known how they stand. It ig said that petitions are being circulated asking that the thea~ ters be left open on Sundays. Those who wish them closed should get out petitions tonight, Sunday and Mon- day so that the issue may be joined Monday night. Space in the Pioneer is available for arguments for both sides and any letters of not over 100 words which are will be printed. The real issue is deeper than the financial question which apepars on the surface. It is the question of the sent in ® | assessed .$10,000. tual value for $10,000 is all that the stock would bring on the open mar- ket. The correct assessment in such a case would have been $5,000 of fif- ty per cent of the actual value. In many counties, of which St. Louis can be cited for an example, stocks are assessed at twenty-five per cent of their cost which is taken as invoice plus freight. This is the same ag fifty per cent of the actual value since no allowance is made for shrinkage in value. So a $20,000 stock in Virginia is assessed $5,000, while the same stock here has been The difference is in the mistake of basis made by the a3Sessors. The county board of equalization is considered composed of fair mind- ed men. The business men of the county believe that a grievous error has been made in computing their as- sessments. They are at least entitled to a fair hearing when they appear before the board Monday afternoon. THIS DATE IN HISTORY. .

Bring them to me. moral effect on the youth of the city and hasty action should be avoided by careful consideration of all an- gles of the problem, Wrong Assessment Basis. Investigation into the recent in- creases in assessments made by the supervisors brings to light at least one fact that stands out with start- ling distinctness. They have based their assessments on a wrong business principle. In the spring the county assessors met and decided to levy on fifty per cent of the value of real estate and personal property. As far as that de- cision goes, no business man can find nor is finding fault with it. whole trouble lies in the basis used by the assessors while working un- der the resolution. When valuing a stock, the asses- sors took the invoice value plus the freight as the actual value in the store. That is wrong for the simple reason that as soon as a stock is unpacked, or even before it has been taken from the original cases, it shrinks in value from forty- five to sixty per cent. It is true that the stock cost the invoice plus the freight, but that is not its value. Any man who has ever been a mer- chandiser knows that when a stock is put up for sale, it seldom brings over fifty cents on the dollar. In fact, the ‘highest price at which a stock ever changed hands in Be- midji was fifty-five cents. . The price ranged downward all the way, to ten cnets. This simply means that the average cash value of a stock is fifty per cent of its invoice value. In other words: If a merchant buys $20,000 worth of goods and putg them into a Bemidji store, the stock is only worth $10,000. For if he was forced to sell it the mnext " day, the best he could get for it would be fifty cents on the dollar. His stock shows a dead loss of fifty per cent simply because it is now second hand. The mistake made by the asses- sors is that they have taken $20,000 stocks and assessed them for $10,000. This is really 100 per cent of its ac- The | Charles Nangle % %k ok ok kk AR RK AR TR RKRK FAFIIIIIRIIIIIR IR FIFRAFRR KRR IKKK nnnn: BEMIDJI MUSIC HOUSE 514 Minnesota Ave., Bemidjl ‘Wholesale and retail Pia- nos, Organs and Sewing Machines.
