Converse. mittees last c Appearing on request at the first | mecting of the committees Mr. Con- verse laid before the legislators many questions arising in the commissioner's office. He said he would not u a set program, but that his office would call attentiot to some defect and that the services of himself, Lyman A. Baker, secre tary, and Gordon V. Cox, income tax were at the disposal of the comm 'ttee. / “I would suggest,” he sa‘d, “that in considering tax legislation, con- sideration be given to what effect the change will have on the tax burden.” — He pointed out that the tax bur- den had shifted since 1915. Point ng out that tax on bank stock was a matter to be cons‘dered, he said that the national congress limited power of the state to tax national bank stock, and that the legislature ought therefore, to place the state bank stock tax in line with what is per- m'tted by the natiorial congress. He ggested a tax on a 50 percent ba- if present exemptions on other property are not changed, probably would stand up in thé courts. Exemptions a Problem He mentioned the exemptions, and said changes had been urged by but sugegsted no particular ation, t, light and power companies now are assessed locally, he said, and suggested they be assessed e'th- er by the tax commissioner or state board of equalization, as done with other utilities, The was urged with regard to transmission lines since severa] taxing districts. There is no provision now for tax- ing mines, mineral reserve or oil if there ‘s any in North Dakota, dif- ferent from other property, Mr. Con- verse gaid. A different method of. taxation js needed, He in some cases land was sold and the mineral rght reserved. ‘The party reserving the mineral right pays no tax on He urged some tax. The tax limitation law has been the subject of much d'scussion, He offered services of his office in solv-, ing the problem, and urged a limi- tation upon power to issue warrants, so that the amount issued could not exceed the taxes levied. Substitutes for Warrants In this connection Mr. Converse suggested a new plan. He sad cities, counties, ete., might be permitted to issue cert ficates of indebtedness is me many cover in anticipation of taxes, as the fed- | eral government does, sell them and pay bills in cash. By disposing of these cert'ficates a less rate of in- terest might be obtained than is necessary on warrants, he sa‘d. He urged a gro: telephone companies, hundreds of small farmers’ telephone | companies now complain of the pres- ent method, and that sme of them | are almost taxed out of business. Regarding the money and credits tax, he said that most of the prop- erty sought under it escaped taxa- high-power |? it. | tax | Lady Yue (right) and daughter with two mountain goats that they | shot in the Ca Vancouver, C., Jan. 10,—Bearing mark of hardships suffered in the wilds of northern Canada where no other white women y dared to venture, two British sportswomen are back in civilization after a trip of nearly 7000 mi After many years of riding to the hounds at home and fishing in Scot- land, Lady Yule and her daughter of s, England, decided that su sports were her tame, Th |wanted to after big game. 1 told them about the bull y bears, caribou, moun- goats of Mother and daughter looked at each other, and made up their minds They soon w in western Canada, making gements for a hunting trip into the famous ar near the ur, northern | .Dared Not Go treme northern boundary ish Columbia. !

He urged the medium of the | income tax. He said the state could get more money by it. The present income tax on corporations has yield- ed well, but the individual income tax rate is too low, he said. The oil tax, he said, be’ng 1-4 cent a gallon on some grades and 1 cent a | gullon on others, should be equalized, It might be, he said, made uniform- ly 1 cent a gallon. A number of county treasurers, he said, ask that taxes be made due January 2 instead of. December 1. The committees Aecided upon a policy of naming §ub-committees to work out many of the tax problems. woM AN MEMBER LOSS OF TIME (Continued from Page 1) is given the city commjssion to over- Tule the iecominendetions of the city planning commission.
