ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BIS ALLIES OPPO TAX BORDEN ON |GERMANY FACING SITUATION THAT FARM LANDS IS) CUS UNDER LAW State Tax Department Says Valuation Is Reduced $226,091,412 OTHERS INCREASED Change in Burden on Various Classes of Property for Last Several Years Told The state tax department today} @ach class of: property in the state! for the year 1922 and 1923. This} statement shows the result of the| basis of assessment law passed by| the 1923 legislative assembly. i Under the classification law of} 1919 farm lands, town and city lots, business structures, railroad proper- ty and property of other public uti- lities, bank stock, flour mills, eleva- tors, warehouses and storehouses and all buildings and improvements upon railroad rights of way were required to be assessed at 100 percent of full and true value. All other property was required to be assessed at 50 percent of full and true value. This ncluded most classes of persvnal property and structures used for homes located upon town and city lots. Under the exemption laws passed in 1919 structures and improvements on farm lands were exempt from taxation and liberal exemptions were allowed on homes occupied by the owner and four classes of per- sonal property,—farm machinery, household goods, clothing and tools or a working ‘man or mechanic. In 1921 the exemption on homes was re- duced from $1000 to $500 and the exemption on farm tools and equip- ment of a farmer from $1000 to $500. The exemption of $300 on household goods, clothing and tools of a work- ing man or mechanic remained un- ehanged. ’ Farm Burden Changed The result of the taxation laws of 1919 was to increase the tax burden on farm lands to a very large ex- tent. In 1917 the assessed valuation of farm lands wag 52.68 percent of the total assessed valuation of the Ge.'., smd the assessed valuation of improvements on farm lands 3 1-2 per cent of the total, the total as- sessed valuation of farm real pro- perty being 56.18 percent of the to- tal. In 1918 the assessed valuation of farm real property was 58.51 per- cent of the total and in 1919 after the absolute exemption of structures and improvements.on farm lands the assessed valuation of farm real pro- perty was ‘70.364 percent of the to- tal assessed valuation. The shift of the tax burden from other property to farm lands was most keenly felt in those taxing districts where the school district embraged both the city and country. The $1000 exemp- tion allowed on homes in 1919 and 1920, and the fact that homes were assessable at only 50 percent of the balance after the deduction of the $1000 exemption left a very small tax base in many villages and cities, and the consequence was a tremen- dous shift of the school tax burden to farm lands in these particular school districts, embracing both city and country. The classification law of 1919 and the exemption laws in effect since that date ptoduced a tremendous amount 6f dissatisfaction and con- » sequently, the 1923: legislative as- sembly Went back to the taxation system in force in this over 30 yea! Under the assessment law passed in 1923 all taxable property in this state is as- sessed at the same percentage of full and true value. Each dollar's worth of taxable property in the same tax- ing district now bears the same per- centage of tax burden. All special exemption laws were repealed by the 1923 legislative assembly with the single exemption of structures and improvements on fatm lands. The usual exemptions on public, charita- ble and lodge property still stand. Besult of. Basis The general result’ of the basis of assessment law of 1923 was, of ourse, to reduce the tax butden on ll’ property in. class one and in- crease the tax burden on all proper- ty formerly in class two. The total assessed valuation of the state has decreased . $222,507,940.. The assess- ed valuation of farm lands decreased $226,091,412. The assessed valuation j bad and so is BROUGHT RUSSIA Hunger and Starvation, With Fate of German People, He TO HER PRESENT PLIGHT, SAYS JACOB ROTHSCHILLER Possible Revolution, May Be Declares in an Interview— Believes German People’s Steadiness Will Prevent Revolution — Declares Aid Is Greatly Needed Abroad Germany today is just where Russia was—starvation and revolution fs facing her. Jacob Rothschiller, president of the North Dakota Relicf Avpsociation, who has just returned from a 13-month relief mission, abroad, dec‘ared in an interview. Communism will not succeed in Rothsciiller believes. : “The Germans have sense,” he Germany as it hes in Russia, Mr. said. “But if revolution e3 — with hunger and starvation prese:ng down upon the people—what will happen I don’t know. You know, hunger is a ‘hard thing.” There is still need for relief in Russia, he said, though Russia has gave out a comparative statement | rad a fine crop this year and has exported wheat to Germany. Tye covering the assessed valuation of | Hospitals in Russia, in particular, lack medical supplies, he said. Mr, Rothschiller saw Europe at its worst on his trip, He left Bismarck October 3, 1922 and arrived Novem- ber 3, 1923—was absent 13 months. During that ‘time he distributed $200,000 worth of footstaffs and clothing either given as such as pur-! chased with funds of the North Da- kota Relief Association. He visited Germany, Russia, Hungaty, Czecho-, Slovakia, Roumania, P. Right now, he said, Germany was/| in the warst way of any country in, Europe. Hungary and Austria are! is Russia. Czecho-Slova-| kia, born of the war, Boumania and Poland are in better shape—they: have all the foodstuffs they need,’ Mr. Rothschiller said. Nows The Time to Help Mr. Rothschiler hopes to see Ger- many given Ameri@an aid. “Now is the time they need help,”; he said. “There is lots of \unem- ployment. The factories can’t buy! raw materials—they haven't the money. A man who has two or three! children can hardly earn enough to buy them bread.” i When Mr. Rothschiller landed in Germany he received 4,000,000 marks for one American dollar. When he! left the ,quotation, was one billion marks for one dollar. It is the de- Preciation of the mark that has’ wrecked havoc on Germany, he said. Mr: Rothsehiller was in the Ruhr,, present storm center or Ger-| ¥. He did distribute clothing md other necessaries in Berlin,! Hemburg and other places. He! thinks that France will: not colleét reparations from Germany, for the industrial life has been squeezed out of her. . Russia, in the opinion of Mr. Roth-! schiller, will recuperate rapidly. He! thinks that Trotsky and other lead-/ ers“of the Soviet mean all right, but said that: hundreds of misfits had crept into power in the revolution, | and that it was the lesser officers | that caused terror and misery. “I didn’t hear much talk against: the government—they’re afraid to talk,” he remarked. Suffering Ip Russia He saw a great deal of suffering, in Russia, he said—people with noth-+ ing to eat, no clothing. American| aid, he said, bad won the everlasting! gratitude of the Russian people. The| Russians, since their good crop this) ave helped the Germans, he! It is because they were helped| they were hungry and not for political reasons, he said. Many Russian hospitals are with-| out medicine, he said. Even in one hospital he saw children lying on straw mattresses, without beds. | During his long trip Mr. Rothschil- | ler showed moving pictures of North Dakota, taken by the North Dakota immigration ‘department. On his re- turn to Bismarck he lectured in: Elizabeth, N. J. and St. Paul. Carl Wishek of Ashley accompani- ed him on the trip. They separated after they came. out of Russia, where they were for four months, Mr. Wis- hek gong to Germany to visit rela- tives and Mr. Rothschiller going to Hungary. Predicts Immigration Mr. Rothschiller declared that the United States was the promised land at this time, and he predicted a big immigration to North Dakota nof oi= ly from thrifty people abroad but from the east, from sections where he showed the moving pictures of the North Dakota Immigration De- partment. { eg THE WEATHER | ——. ° For twenty-four hours ending at noon today.

An attempt would be made to’ admit them as soon as possible, he said. Of the 4,000 immigrants who faced deportation, 1,467, mostly British, arrived ow the:Leviathan, the largest American steamship. Foreign gov- ernments were blamed for the situa- tion by Secretary Davis who said congestion would be avoided if pass- ports were limited to the number fixed in the American quota law, DRY QUESTION VOTED ON IN CANADA TODAY Alternatives Offered Voters on Ballot Four Edmonton, Alta., Nov, 5.—Whether the present system of prohibition’ i» to continue in the Province of Al- berta, will be-determined today by a preferential ballot with four alter- natives.

CK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1928 $$$, ADJUSTING OF ACREAGE-HELD FARMER’S NEED With Cooperative Marketing it Offers Best Hope for Future, Says Meyer t ASKS SOUND POLICY Directors of War Finance Corporation Report to Coo- lidge After Long Trip Washington, Nov. 5.—Co-operative marketing and ready adjustment of acreage to conditions of the world production! were ‘recommended as promising the only permanent solu- tion of the wheat problem ‘in'a report submitted to President Coolidge by the War Finance Corporation inves- tigators who recently toured the wheat areas at his request. Urging the maintenance of “a thoroughly rational attitude” in dealing with ‘tne problem: the report submitted by Directors Eugene Mey- er, Jr., and Frank Mondell discussed numerous other proposals presented during the study but which they found generally cither unsound or to offer no permanent solution. The proposals advanced in the re- port already have been discussed by the two officials with Mr. Coolidge and may form the basis of an admin- istration policy on the question. Co-operative marketing associa- tions “organized along sound lines and with competent management and business guidance,” the report said, “offer at the present time in our opinio® more promise of helpfal re- sults than any other plan or pro- gram that has been suggested: They can de what the speculator cannot with safety be relied on to do. They can by orderly marketing, regulate the flow of wheat so that supply is adjusting from time to time to con- sumptive demands. “With the changed condition in Europe, with the European deslers and millers carrying only a small percentage their normal pre-war stocks and with the speculator un- able or unwilling to carry wheat in ! sufficient volume the producer must organize to carry it nimself.” Added to this conclusion was the other that there must be “adjust- ment of production to American needs if the world merket is over- supplied.” Chief among the causes of de- pression among. the wheat farmers were found to be the local tax bur- dens, the scarcity and high cost of labor and existing freight rates on grain. As a measur: /to ‘relieve the first it was recommended that tax exempt securities be abolished and the higher brackets of the federal income surtaxes which were held to encourage investors to place money in such securit be reduced. The tax exanpt securities, the report said, had encouraged’ states, coun- ties and municipalities to “make ex- travagant expenditures.” OF NO HELP . Minneapolis, Nov..5.—The Mondell- Meyer report recommending cooper- ative marketing as the chief solution tq stabilize agricultural conditions in the wheat growing states is eco- nomically sound but is of no use to the farmers in their present emer- gency, according to J. F. Reed, pres- ident of the Minnesota Farm Bureau]. Federation. OBSERVE WORLD COURT WEEK New York, Nov, 5.—World Court Week was inaugurated’ today.
