of such householders exemption I
would place one that would be far
reaching in its results. which will
suggest themselves to the reader, and
which the limits of this article forbid
enlarging upon, viz, an exemption OF
an amount of cash on hand that
should be such householder and his
family's pro rata of circulating me-
dunn or its equivalent, that is if the
government should provide fifty dol
lars per capita, then each individual
or his representative should have
such fifty dollar exemption, or in lieu
thereof like exemption deducted from
the sum total of his assessment. every
dollar of money boarded over such
per capita circulation to be taxed and
in an increasing ratio.
But how can all this be accom-
plished. The theory is all right, and
the end desirable, but now as to the
means of accomplishment! Simple
enough.

It resists an assessed valuation at
one twentieth of what afterwards
proves to be its real value. It calls
upon the courts to restrain the proper
authorities from the collection of
taxes. It finally compromises with
the county and pays tenth of what
it should pay. Afterwards it is called
into court, and the question of its
real value is the subject of contro-
versy. Then it is shown that what
had not returned to its stock holders
one dollar of dividend, has been sold
for more than half million of dol
lars. That the reason it has declared
no dividends is because it has boarded

Mortified News: The farmers
should not be in hurry to part with
their wheat to spectators this year.
The advices are that there is short
crop in Europe and that the scarcity
extends to India. The price has al
ready advanced in Liverpool to a
point higher than has been reached
since 1884. From France comes the
announcement that the money which
was to have been used for the celebra-
ton of the fall of the Bastile, a day as
important there as the Fourth of July
is here, was given to farmers who lost
their harvest by the excessive rainfalls
Unless all advices are at fault the
American farmer will have a good
wheat market.

E. G. Bailey was the successful bid
der for the contract of erecting the
Odd Fellows block, his figures for
furnishing material and labor for the
complete work being considerably be-
low the nonresident bidders. Mr.
Bailey had to go as far as Mankato
for brick for the building, both the
Redwood Falls and New Ulm yards
being unable to fill his order in the
time required. The contractor is wei
pleased, however, with the excellen
quality of the brick which is being
shipped to him. The lumber bill for
the building was secured by Andrew
Birum, for the Laird Norton Co. Work
will be begun at once, and as Mr..
Bailey already has reputation for
rushing his work on time, it is assured
that the building will be completed
in good season.
