D., May 24—The North Dakota County Auditors’ associa:ion yesterday adopted resolutions against any change in state law affecting dis- tribution of taxation revenue. from railroads, except on ten years’ notice. The resolutions were opposed only by four auditors, and were adopted after George Wallace, tax commission- er, had made an address pointing out what he termed inequalities in the present system: of distribution, by which townships which have no rail- roads, though contributing to the sup- port of railroads, derive no benefit. Mr. Wallace proposed. several plans of distribution as substitutes for the present system. The North Dakota ditors' association in session here, yesterday afternoon adopted by unanimous vote resolutions de- claring that there is a dig waste.of public money under the high- way ¢pnstruction plan as maintained in Nagth eae by the ‘state highway comn In Fesolutions it ,isycharged that road: hich vrovtoaly cost about $50 to’ $600 a mile to build, now cost from $1,000 to $2,500 a mile for roads that are little or no better. Wilful misrepresentation on County Au- the bureau of the benefits being derived from federal and state aid is chargec| by the auditors, and such alleged mis- representation is cited by the auditors as making it necessary for them: to give the public the real facts. Auditors W. R. Tucker,, E. C. Rob- erts and W. W. Olson were members of the committee that drafted the unanimously adopted resolutions. important on the part of PHI DELTAS BEGIN | Facing widely- BIG, LAND OWNER OFFERS $100 FOR Taxpayer Puts Up Prize a Writer of Fairest and Most ir Comprehensive Essay : A non-resident, taxpayer who «is extensively interested in farming lands on the Slope and who is largely responsible for the settlement - of Oliver and adjoining counties, in. s0 anxious to get the truth about ‘the Nonpartisan league that he has oflered a prize of $100 for the fairest. and most comprehensive essay on the more than 5,000 words in_ lengt Essays may be entered in the com| ! tition ‘by anyone residing in North Dakota, not later than June 7.
