’ PAGE EIGHT ON LAND TAXES ~ LENGTHY ONE Four Justices Use 26 Pages to Set Forth Views—Nuessle COURT RULING | + When the supreme court handed down its recent decision on the ques- | tion of whether or not the state must | pay taxes on land on which it has} foreclosed mortgages, 26 pages of typewriting were necessary to set) forth the views of four members of the court and 12 pages were used by | Justice W. b. Nuessle in disagrecing | with them. | Perusal of the opinion reveals why | it required almost a year for the] court to announce its decision | of the main points was t! onstitue | tionality of section nine, chi | of the session laws of 1923, which stipulates that the state need pay no taxes. Had the court accepted the law at whut some contended was its obvious meaning, it might have been to hold it unconstitutional, | t ever, the court escaped that, necessity by applying the rule that where two constructions can be given | a statute, one of which is constitu-! tional, the constitutional application | should be made. « | Had the ruling beet that the state | need pay no taxes, regardless of! when it acquired title to the prop- erty, it would’ have violated the rule! that all'taxes must be applied equal- ly and that taxes must be applied to| the purposes for which they are, levied. | Commenting on its phase of the question the decision of | the majority — s: “There is here no attempt to tax | state property. Rather there is as-| serted in behalf of a state agency a claim to immunity covering a period | prior to the time when the state be-| came an owner, a period during) which the property in question could) not constitutionally have been ex- empted. Plaintiff's Contention | “So far is this claim of immunity | from an observance of the require- ment of uniformity that, construed as | the plaintiff construes it, the statute | would actually authorize, indirectly, | the value of a lien for taxes to be| converted into profits in the Bank of North Dakota to be. credited to its) fatm loan department, while requir- ing the incidental corresponding de- ficiencies in revenues to be met by local taxpayers. Followed to its log- ical conclusion the plaintiff’s main) contention would justify the taxing| of a portion of the lands in any tax- | ing district to create a profit in the) farm loan department of the Bank of | North Dakota.” \ The state’s contention in the case, | the decision points out, indirectly, would have penalized every farmer who obtained a loan from anyone other than the Bank of North Dakota. A fine point of the ‘decision is that it holds that taxes struck off to the county because there were no other @bidders are to be regarded as paid. In his dissenting opinion Judge Nuessle held that purchase by the! county does not result in payment of the tax but is only a step in the col- lection of the taxes. He contended | that all taxes on land acquired by} the state should be cancelled and the | state required to pay nothing. | Deaf Pupils Learn | Aesthetic Dancing | ' and Piano Playing | Devils Lake,N. D., Jan. 27.—UP)—| Aesthetic dancing and piano lessons | form an important part of the instruc-| tion of students at the North Dakota} School for the Deaf here, according | to Burton W. Driggs, superintendent. | Two girls with partial hearing are| taking piano lessons from Miss Mary | Cairns of this city, Driggs says, and| adds that “they are progressing very | nicely.” \ Weekly aesthetic dancing lessons, are given all girls of the school andj} 4s many boys as are free from trades | in the afternoons, according to the su- perintendent. i “We find that) most of the deaf | children respond ‘very readily to! music and we sé it: regularly in| teaching tone work in connection with | our speech preparation program,” | Driggs says. q “It is surprising to note that in| this work with the piano, stone deaf children follow the music almost} without error and keep perfect time,” | he continues. Ve do not claim to| have occomplished. unusual things with these children in developing their senses, but we do claim to have sensitized what hearing tKey possess by working with the piano.” This is true despite the fact that the pupils have all the way from al- most perfect hearing to practically none, the amount of hearing differ- ing in individuals, the superintendent says. Each year the school stages a pag- eant, or “May Fete,” that has always drawn very favorable comment upon the work accomplished by the chil- dren, especially in dancing, according to Driggs. He adds that “People oft- en, remark that the deaf children car- out their parts so well that one would not realize that they were - Ten Year Goitre "¢ Kady Wants Others to Knew. ~ gai i _B.

SELF FAMOUS Five Firemen Injured in, Blaze Started When Truck Is Struck By Train Omaha, Jan. (P)—-The erring} cow that kicked ove! antern and| started the great Chicago fire of| 1871, nearly had a rival in Omaha last night. As George Williams, of Cedar Bluffs, Neb. drove into the South] Omaha Union Stockyards shortly be- fore midnight with a truckload of | cattle, the cow jumped out. She was hay barns, and Williams backed up his truck to re-load her. He had stopped on a railroad track, however, and just in time for a string of empty freight cars which were be- ing switched on that track to strike the truck, knocking the driver out and breaking a rib, and setting the truck on fire. The flames spread to the barn, de- stroying the structure and its ¢ tents with an estimated loss .of $25,000 and for a while threatening nearby stock pens. Five firemen were injured, one of them seriously, when one of the walls collapsed. Western Solons Tell of Damage Done By Wolves; How wolves and coyotes still rav- age herds and flocks in North Dakota} was described by house members from! the western part of the state follow-| ing the vote on the wolf bounty re- cently. ts “It is remarkable how bloodthirsty wolves can get and how they appar: ently take delight in reducing the number of animals in a herd,” said R. O. Signalness, McKenzie county. I have known of c: in which wolves have killed not only one but several animals in a herd duging a single night. Apparently they do not kill-just to satisfy their hunger but} for the love of killing.” | réy wolves occasionally appear in| his neighborhood,” Signalness said,| “and their strength and speed are re- markable. I have known them to raid several herds in a night. The next morning we find horses and cattle dead on the ground. “These wolves run along beside an animal, leap upon them and tear great) chunks of flesh from their sides or! hind quarters, he said, and added ‘4! don’tee how a man could tear them so badly if he had the strength of a team of horses. | J. H. McCay, Sioux county, said that the wolves and coyotes in his district are “both bold and slick and describ-| ed how they raid hen and turkey) roosts, causing great damage. Other) western members agreed that preda-| tory animals still are a menace to successful farming in their districts.| RESENTS FOREIGNERS Paris—Vincent Dindy, one of the leading French composers, has joined the group opposed to foreign artists Paris.

Senate and house conferees on the Dill and White bills put the finishing touches to their report yestert id although Representative Davi ocrat, Tennessec, refused to and indicated he might file minority views, it was generally predicted the redrafted measure would be ap- proved and sent to the president at this session. Considered Adequate The bill, which would establish government contro! over all channels of interstate and foreign radio com- munication, represents, in the view of the National Radio Coordinating com- mittee, headed by Walter A. Strong of Chicago, “as nearly adequate leg- islation as could be agreed upon at this tim The bill vests in a commission of five’ members complete contro] over radio for the first year after its en- actment, after which it would have final say in all disputes, growing out of decisions of the secretary of commerce, who would have initial) control after one year. Except for a few variations in gen- cral principle, Mr. Strong said, the terms of the measure agree in essen- tial details with the report of hix committee, drawn up after a study of the two bills in conference.

He advised the members that if the state keeps the milla few more years it will get nothing tor Te since it rapidly “going to ruin.” It’ has not been operated since the staté-owned mill at Grand Forks was opened in 1923, Nonpartisan opposition was led by H. F. Swett, Kidder county, who con- tended that the bill would “job away” the state’s property by forcing the state industrial commission to ac- cept any price offered. Two years ago the industrial commission was authorised to sell the mill but the only offer was one of $3,500 which was rejected. L. L. Twichell, majority floor lead- er, said he didn’t bi the indu- strisl commission for not accepting the bid in view of the fact that the mill cost tha state $100,000 bus that immediate sale is the only method of relieving the state from what is rap- idly becoming a liability. The state is paying $100 nth for a watch- man for at property, he said, and getting nothing. Swett’s reply that the industrial commission did not wa “job” th people but that some else does and “wants the legislature to help them.” : Sleight demanded to know what dit. ference it made inasmuch as. the “peop! as long as they hold it.” Too Short a Time J. H. McCay, Siouz county, said he opposed the messure because 90 days is too short a time in which to nego- tiate a sale or lease on the best terms and J. H. Burkhart, Ward county, of- red an amendment giving the indvu- the house temperance committee voted to indefinitely postpone the bill asking that a vote be had on the re-| —— peal of the prohibition provision of the state constitution. A minority re- port will be submitted, however, and a roll call is expected. The house Wednesday passed siz house bills and three senate bills. One house bill received a majority but lost because it failed to reecive the two-thirds vote necessary to amend an initiated measure. The bill would have amended the newspaper law to permit any legal newspaper to print statements of the conditions of insurance companies. A fight on the proposal to foree the sale or lease of the Drake mill and elevator endivened a meeting of the committee of the whole. The measure was recommended by the committee of the whole and probably will be passed today. pretty much a party contest, ‘Non- partisans opposing the bill and Inde- pendents supporting it. T. E.
