Ye Sposa FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1927 Proposed Rate Boost HOUSE REJECTS _ | | BILL CHANGING TAX STATUTES | (Continued from page one) chute stunts and aeroplanes than from automobile racing accidents, he said. C. N. Lee, Dunn county, urged passage of the bill on the ground that it would serve to curb the speed mania of the younger generation. The bill to sterilize certain in- mates of state penal and charitable) institutions was favorably Pah an by the state affairs committee will receive a final vote today. North Dakota already has a steril- ization law, but it has been ineffec- tive because of doubts as to its con- constitutionality. A sharp fight occurred before the house finally killed a senate bill providing for a soil survey and val- uation of farm land by the state board of equalization acting in con- junction with county commissioners. Claim Method Would Be Expensive Opponents of the measure pointed | (, out that such surveys and valuations can be made in any county on appli- cation of 50 per cent of the land owners, that the proposed method of valuation would be expensive, and would not be sufficiently flexible: to permit taxation on fluctuating land values, Sow thistle, quack grass and other weeds reduce value of land while drainage and other improvements in- crease its value, it was pointed out. It was contended that the measure made no provision for revising the value, once they had been estab- lished. ee Advocates of the bill pointed out that its purpose was to obtain uni- form and equal assessment of land by persons capable of doing the job well and that a survey by the county commissioners and state tax commis- sioner would permit the establish- ment of. values on an equal basis without logrolling or prejudice. They contended that some land is ta vavier than should be the other land is taxed at less than its real value. Opponents of the measure pointed out that local assessors who know conditions in their townships should be better able to fairly asses the property than any stranger; that wnship and county boards the assessments and that can be made to the state .. They also contended that the valuation and soil survey as proposed in the bill could not be made. The Dill was killed by a vote of 57 to 43. Power Line Bill Killed The question of placing the val- uation of power transmission lines in the hands of the state tax commis- sioner, previously discussed in the house, came up again when a similar senate bill was recommended for in- definite postponement by the tax committee, é The house bill was killed following ceipt of an opinion by the attorney that it wi unconstitutional. killed for the |] The argued all over vote was 57 to 50.

The bills included $40,000 for a sewage disposal pl: the insane hospital, and $125,000 for a new infirmary at the si Among other house bills passed was a measure authorizing the indus- trial commission to issue bonds in $100 denominations. The present minimum denomination is $1,000. A concurrent resolution asking congress to designate a national park in the Badlands, in Billings county, |™ was passed and sent to the governor. The senate also concurred: in the house amendments to a resolution asking congress to turn over the profits of the U. S. Grain corporation to funds to be used in any farm’ re- lief system. As passed by the senate, it asked a direct refund to the wheat growers of the profits. However, the house amendments were accepted and the resolution was again passed. Conference Committee Named The senate's first conference com- mittee of the present session was appointed by Lieutenant ‘Governor Walter Maddock to iron out differ- ences resulting from the refusal of the house to agree to senate amend- ments to’a bill authorizing a mar- ried woman to be appointed as ad- ministratrix or executrix of an estate. Se wa ta Cc. Fine, Benson county, W. H. Porter, Cavalier county, and wW. Ay Lynch, La Moure county, were appointed on the committee. Appraisal of State Mill Property By Competent: Engineers (Continued from from page one) that the mill and elevator were built under war time conditions, mt peak prices, and on a cost plus basis. “It is our opinion that the book value is greatly in excess of the present ound values of the property,” he sai Burchard presented two 4mportant reasons for the appraisal, one of which was that it would lessen the charge for depreciation, and the other that “it would save-on ex- cessive insurance charges and tend to make it possible for the state mill and elevator to compete in the markets with other businesses which are not handicapped by excessive car-. rying charges on capitalization.” A Sound Business Practice “This procedure would be in keep- ing with the sound business prac- |! tices of private concerns, which have already taken their war time loss and adjusted themselves to a bi where re etition is possible with concerns jose property is not ex- pasalvnly capitalized,” continued the report. “It is our opinion that thi harges for depreciation set up 3 at the mill and elevator s it started are in excess of a reason- able figure for this purpose and that a survey by competent shajarrrs would show this to ‘be a fact.” sted that the go Peg ge it this pro- jo the » OF 80) proper committee thereof, if hi not care to take the action Pi 1 ithout conferring with the rep sentatives of the people now in legis- annually an increa freight shipped on class signed ow that the proposed| Chicago, Feb. 25--(®)—A_ short) at his home here shortly before 3| raises are e: but a hard fight| time after a woman guest a. m.'today.
