The weather to-day is clear and cold,
with indications of continuing so for
some time.
The river continues to fall, having re-
ceded foot and inches since yester-
day. AT O'clock yesterday morning
there were 20 feet and inches of water
in the channel. To-day the Water-w works
marks indicated 10 feet and inches.
The river is full of ice from here to
Pittshurg and to great distance below
here. If the present cold weather con-
tinues and the ice freezes, there will
probably be considerable damage done
to the barges laying up along Fulton
Dock. There are but few barges lying

There is a happy couple out on Court
about week. They commenced house.
Keeping yesterday, and had roast turkey
lor dinner. 1t was the first she ever
roasted in her life, and she took great
pride in having it all ready when John
came home. John came, and shortly
after the young husband, with a very
pale expression of countenance, was
seen to stride across the back yard and
throw a whole turkey over the fence.
The inexperienced housewife had roasted
it without removing the interior works,
and it was altogether too much turkey
for him,

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-05-06
Assistant Secretary Of State

The following is the law Of last winter
referred to above:--
AN ACT to authorize the board OF county com,
missioners of certain counties to remit ana
refund portion of tax levied tor year A. u.
1874, within their respective limits.
Be it enacted by the Legislature OF the State OF
Minnesota:
Section /. Wherea-, in some counties OF this
State the beard of county commissioners had
established the percentage of taxation IN their
respective counties for the year A. u: 1874,
previous to the raising Of the valuation OF prop.
erty in said counties by the State Board OF
Equalization, whereby an amount OF tax largely
in excess Of the amount intended to be raised
has been imposed on the property IN said
counties. Therefore, the board OF county COM
missioners in said counties are hereby empow-
cred and instructed respectively, to remit all
taxes except the State tax. SO as to make the
amount of tax to be collected correspond with
the valuation OF said property a. the time the
percentage Of taxation was liked, and upon
which such percentage was established.
Sec. 2. The board Of county commissioners
of said counties are hereby authorized to re-
fund to parties who have already paid Their
taxes within sad counties for the year A. D.
1874. the amount OF tax authorized to he re-
mitted under the first section of this act.
Sec 3. This act shall take effect and be II
force from and after its passage.
Approved March 8, 1875.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-05-06

Cottonwood is within the limits Of rail-.
road grants, SO that no lands can pc
bought Of the government for less
than $3.50 per acre, while the average
price Of railroad lsnds is about ~ per
acre. and none to be had even in larger
quantities by colonies at less than 20.
The average valuation, as equalized by
the State Board, was $3.50 per acre. The
rates deducible from Mr.. BIS example
would fix the average value at about l.S8
per acre. Then again, the increased val
uation, for which the law is accountable.
did not directly affect any tax but the
two mill school tax, which now isreduced
to one mill. The increase being general
the percentage of the State tax. (the ag-
gregate amount Of which was previously
fixed by law was reduced for each coun.
ty in proportion, and the county and
wher local taxes were or should have
been levied in aggregate amounts like the
State taxes. Further, all taxes remain
in each county except the State tax, and
the amount Of the latter was less IN 1919
than in 1873 for Cottonwood, notwlth'
standing the increased valuation.
Respect fully your obedient servant

Assistant Secretary of State.

We received some time since the follow
ing letter from member Of the Execu'
tive Committee of the State Grange, P.
efH.
Recognizing the Importance of the sub
iect-matter we referred it to the Secre
tary Of State, and have received the reply
which we give below. We also append
the law referred to by the Assistant Sec
rotary of State:-
WINDOW, Mimi March Is. 1875.
To the Editor of the Anti onopolist:
NV Grange passed a resolution request
ing me to write you and ask Why was
the 80 and 100 per cent added to our as
sessment last year by the State, Eqaliza'
ton Board, and was it added to all the
counties throughout the State or only
those in the grasshopper region. SO as to
get back, by way Of taxes, the amount
appropriated by the Legislature last year
for seed grain. can cite you to quar-
ter section of land near my place that
was sold for $500 last fall, the same piece
now stands on the tax rolls assessed al
about ST. 300; other pieces are similar.
understood that bill was passed this
winter doing away with this acditiona
per cent, but l understood Gov. Davis
writes that no such bill reached him
Will YOU please give us an early answer.
Yours fraternally,

when W find that / think We shall

When We find that think We shall
be apt to apply it.
Every State in the Union taxes prop
erty to raise its revenue; and all
we have to complain Of is extravagance.
But in the United States we have
to complain Of both extragance and in
Justice. If , nation has no privileged
classes, and al have m equal chance, II
they do not prosper there is no one. to
blame but themselves; but if one portion
of the people issrobbed to enrich another
norton, and revolution follows, as some
predict, the blame will have to rest with
our rulers. The remedy is plain: LIST,
economizing in every direction; and, I'd,
to tax property to raise the Government
revenue.
Annexed is table showing the present
system of taxation:
A has family Of seven persons. He
is worth one million dollars. His outlays
for one year, for clothing, boots, shoes,
&C., are $4,000, the government tax
thereon is $250.00.
If there was direct tax on property
A would pay on his one million dollars
government tax Of 5 per cent, or fifty
thousand dollars, instead Of paying $3.50
as he does now.
Now take the other side Of the case:
B is farmer with family Of sever
persons. He is worth one thousand dol
lars. He spends annually for clothing
boot and shoes $4,000; for plows ant
other farming utensils $4,000, tota
100000. The government tax on this l
$4,000.
Now, if We had tax on property, i
instead Of paying $4,000, would onl.
have to2pay $50.
If this was the rule the rich men of on
country would soon put their wits to wor
to stop extravaganza in the government
now they don't care, for their share
small. Yours,
GORDON JAcK1Ns.
