Ad- jutant General Fraser has not yet presented his estimate on that sub- ject. All sessions of the board of equal- ization to date have been given over to the question of cquailzing the land values in the various counties of the state and that work is nearly completed. The idea of the board is not to establish average lund values, Tax Commissioner Thorstein Thoresen pointed out, but to so ad- just valuations that the ‘land ‘in carta) county will bear its fair share of the, state tax burden. Despite recommendations of. the various, county boards of commis- joners, sitting as county board of equal n, it is probable that the state board will accept Thoresen’s suggestion and maintain the valua- tions at approximately the figure fixed when they were last consider- ed by the state board two years ago. This would mean no change from the valuations as now in effect, PAPERS BUY EGGS Rapid City, S.
