2 cURGES QUICK SALE OF LANDS HELD BY BIG STATE BOARD Byerly Says Areas Should Pass to Private Hands to Bol- ster Taxes AH public land held by the board of university and school lands should be passed to private ownership “as quickly as possible in order that it may take its share of the burden of taxation,” W. E. Byerly, recently re- signed, recommended in the twentieth biennial report of the state land com- mission and secretary of the board of university and school lands. The report is now in the hands of Governor George F. Shafer. ers the biennial period July 1, 1930, to June 30, 1932. “The farm loan department,” he said, “has been particularly distress- ing the last two years and we have extended every possible courtesy that ould be extended to those who are endeavoring to save their property and who were actually residing on their land.” The report disclosed that no new farm loans have been made by the department since the last biennial ee port and that the loan department) had confined itself to the renewal of old loans. It added that no funds were available for the making of new Joans. Rental income and interest pay- ments have been greatly reduced, ac- cording to the report, but Byerly added: “I am of the opinion, how- ever, that when normal conditions again prevail there will be no great percentage of losses in our farm Joans,” although he was‘convinced, he said, “as I have always been and as my predecessors have stated, that the system of making farm loans is en- tirely wrong.” Board System Wrong Explaining that the official ap- board consists of the chatr- man of the county commissioners, county auditor and the county super- intendent of schools in the county where the loan is to be made, the re- port added that “none of these of- ficers are elected to office with the idea that they understand anything about the value of land, and in many counties I am convinced that very little is known about land values by It COV-| the Mississippi Valley and southern ’ ———_—__ - _——_— Weather Report FORECAST | For Bismarck and vicinity: Gener- | ally fair tonight and Spturday; colder | tonight; warmer Saturday.

The board also is holding title by » foreclosure to 123,007.36 acres of land with a capital investment, including foreclosure costs and taxes, of $1,403,-! 074.58, an average cost to the state of $11.40 per acre. This land has been appraised by the department during the last biennial period and the report said it shows an appraised value of $1,513,637.73, or an avetage of $12.30 per acre.

Average Family or ——F Cincinnati, Dec. 30.—%)—Ber * liéVe it or not, the ave:+.ge Ameri- can family is worth $12,000. That, at least, is the estimate of M. R. Neifeld, New York statistician, presented Priday before the Amer- ican Statistical association here. Neifeld said the average of America’s 30,000,000 families will find current assets more than double current liabilities, despite the last three years. And he dis- Played a balance sheet to prove it. Total assets of the American family at the end of 1929, he fig- ured, were $421,679,000,000, while total liabilities were only $46,360,- 000,000. “In other words,” he said, American i SUAREZ AS AMBASSADOR? | Mexico City, Dec. 30.—(4)—Rumors were current Friday that Dr, Eduardo | Suarez, former solicitor in the foreign relations office and former chief Mex- ican representative at Geneva, has been named ambassador to Washing- ton to succeed Jose Manuel Puig Cas- suranc, | It is figured that about four per} cent of the population of the United States ts left-handed.

Hits Trotzky Episode “Mr. Campbell fabricates more and more when he ascribes to Stalin words like ‘under Trotzky (exiled Russian bolshevik) they really tried to extend communism all over the world and this was the first reason for the rupture between Trotzky and himself (Stalin), that Trotzky trust- wanted to limit his activity in his {ewn country.’ % “This senséless fabrication which turns facts upside down can be be- heved only by deserters to the camps of Kautskys, Wells and Mr. Trot- zky. (This reference apparently was to Carl Kautsky, the German Social- ist, and H. G. Wells, the British nov- elist who caused a-sensation several years’ ago by praising Russian inSti- tutions). In fact, the conversation had no relation to the question of Trotzky and Trotzky’s name was not mentioned during all the conversa- |tion,” the article went on. In the published record of the in- terview, Stalin was quoted as saying to Campbell: “It is very clear to me that the United States, more than any other country, has reasons to provide busi- ness relations with the Soviet Union, not only because the United States is rich in technique and capital, but because in no other country would our business and people have enjoyed such a cordial reception and hospi- tality.” CONTINUED from page one Agrees to Arrange Reorganization of Government Set-Up He added it would show that the Democrats had escaped. David shoved his sister into deliberately delayed these economies for nearly two years.” Wants Responsibility Centered Announcing his views ‘on reorgan ization Thursday, two days after he had virtually killed the general man- ufacturers’ sales tax plan as a means of balancing the budget, Roosevelt's advisers made it plain he believes the proposed reorganization will be an in- surmountable task unless the author- ity and the responsibility for it are centered in the chief executive. In this connection, Roosevelt's view. as made known by his friends, is that when the effort toward consolidating begins the president himself will be less open to attack by organized groups who fear their interests will be endangered by the economies than TWO DIE FROM GAS :_ Minneapolis, Dec. 30.—(?}—Two ‘persons, both more than 70, died of illuminating gas poisoning in Minne- japolis Thursday.
