Rewspaper an All rights of Our Protege Preparing for the annual observance of Navy Day on Octo- ber 27, the United States sea fighting forces send out informa- tion as to the achievements of that branch of our defense serv- ice and, naturally enough, it mentions the fact that our navy transformed Japan from the world’s most backward nation in- to one of the most alert and progressive. That, as every school history tells us, was accomplished through the efforts of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who was sent to the island in 1853 to open trade relations. The Japanese didn’t want any traffic with the outside world but Perry was persistent and resourceful and the Japanese armament on Yedo bay, near Tokyo, was too antiquated to drive him away. So, after Perry had presented Japan with a miniature steam railroad, on which high officials rode in great glee, and had worked his Yankee bluff to the limit, a treaty was signed in 1854. Since what we know as modern Japan began with that treaty the United States is clearly responsible for ‘introducing the island empire to the famliy of major nations. The energy, initiative, resourcefulness and pride of the Japanese have done the rest and have brought Nippon into the front rank of world powers. Many Americans fear Japan.

Amounts decided upon as the offi- cial assessments were: Great North- ern, $70,760,100; Northern Pacific, 945,220,399; Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, $10,114,523; Chicago, Milwaukee é& St, Paul $4,600,431; Chi- cago and Northwestern $125,900; Mid- land Continental, $52,000; Farmers Grain and Shipping Co., $565,171; Brandon, Devils Lake & Southern R. R. Co., $140,000; Farmers Elevator Co., Donovan The valuation was fixed upon mo- tion of Theodore Martell, secretary of agriculture and labor and the second of State Treasurer John Gray. Other members of the board present were Governor Walter Welford, chairman; State Auditor Berta, Baker and State ‘Tax Commissioner Lee Nichols, sec- retary. ‘Thege assessments are approxi- mately two and a half million dollars Jess than the 1935 assessments now being contested by three major roads, but are higher than those of 1933 after being reduced by federal court order. “It will be recalled that cases are now pending in federal court with reference to 1935 assessments of prop- erties of the Great Northern, North- ern Pacific and Soo Line, the com- panies having respectively contested the action taken by the board in 1985,” Nichols said. $453,301 in Taxes Cancelled “The same companies contested the 1933 assessment with the result that several colrts cancelled a total of $445,301.96 of companies’ taxes figur- ed upon the 193§ assessment.” In the case of the Great Northern assessment, he said, an appeal was taken to the U. 8, supreme court re- sulting in a deduction of equaliza- ae MAURICE F.
