STAMP RULINGS.
By Commissioner Scott of the

Commissioner Scott of the
revenue service has ruled that
"A certificate of search, showing
that the dockets or records of
a court have been searched,
and show either that liens exist
as to property, or that judgments
are or are not recorded, and also
certificates of search to ascert tain
whether or not titles are good,
whether taxes have been paid,
and other certificates of this
character, are not such as are re-
quired in the general discharge
of governm enlal functions on the
part of the officers giving them,
but are such as are needed for
private uses and interests, and
are therefor, subject to the tax
being required by law to be given
when called for. If the act per
formed or the certificates issued
by the officers in discharge of an
official function is necessary in
operating the general machinery
of the government, it is exempt.
Certificates of acknowledge
ment of deeds and mortgages are
are not required to be stamped.
The memorandum of the back of
the deed or mortgage, made by
the register or recorder, that the
instrument has been placed upon
record, is not a subject of tax
alton. It is brief note on the
back of the deed or mortgage cit
ing date of filling and date and
place of record.
IA policy does not require a

fered as an insurance policy, and
an insurance company can stamp
it's policies through it's local

be attached to premium notes as
well as to policies.
'Deeds signed, acknowledged
and fully executed in June do not
require stamps, though delivered
in July, unless by state law
registration is necessary to pass

sideration in a deed is nominal,
the actual value of the property
conveyed should govern the
amount of the stamp required.
Original lease requires a stamp.
No stamp is required on copy
executed by the parties at the

BEET SUGAR.
MankatO Can Have a Factory
Without a Bonus.
Farmers Called to Meet Thurs
day Afternoon to Pledge 5000
Acres of Beets.

Mankato may have beet sugar fac
toIy before the year is out. All that is
needed is that the farmers of this
vicinity shall pledge themselves to
raise enough beets to keep the factory
going. 1t will require 5000 acres to
produce the necessary beets.
Senator Keller, of Sank Center, who
has taken a great interest in beet sugar
production in Minnesota, and who is
believed to be backed by wealthy
syndicate, has been in correspondence
with E. [. P. Staede for some little
time in regard to locating factory in
Mankato The outcome of the cor
respondence is that Mr.. Keller will be
in Mankato Thursday, April 18th, and
desires to meet the farmers at two
o'clock. All from this and adjoining
counties who are interested in this
matter are invited to meet with Mr..
Kellar, who will explain the reasons
why sugar beet raising is profitable.
Two of the most expert beet men in the
country will also be present to assist in
imparting information.
Senator Kellar will furnish seed
free to all farmers who will devote a
certain amount of land to beet raising,
and will be prepared at the meeting to
to make contracts for taking the
products,
Six beet sugar factories are to be
located in Minnesota, and the first of
these will be at St. Louis Park. The
location of the other five has not been
settled, but large number of places
are after them. They are ex-
pected to cost upwards of $780,
900 each. and no bonus is asked
from the city, the syndi-
cate furnishing all the capital re-
quired. Senator Kellar has seen the
tests of beets grown in this vicinity
and is convinced that there is no bet
ter place in the state for the success
full raising of beets Of rich quality
One sample tested twenty-one per
cent.
Mr.. Keller Is willing to guarantee an
income of from $15 to $50 an acre for
the sugar beets, which is more profit
able than any other crop raised. We
hope that the farmers will turn out in
force at this meeting. They are the
ones interested in the matter, and
whether a factory will be located in
Mankato entirely depends upon them.
A large acreage is needed, and it must
be subscribed at once to insure the
building factory in Mankato this
year.

Peter McGrath, chairman of the
Lyra town board, was in the city this
week to consult in regard to the pay
ment Of town taxes by the people Of
Good Thunder. The latter village
was Incorporated five years ago, but
was never set apart from the town
ship, takes part in the township cleo
tions, has the same assessor, but pays
no township taxes. The law incor-
porating Good Thunder authorized a
division of the Indebtedness between
Good Thunder and Lyra. Both have
been going on the theory that they
are separate, while they are not. As
a result of Mr.. McGrath's visit, the
people of Good Thunder will hereafter
pay town taxes. 1t has not been de-
termined what steps to take in regard
to the back taxes unpaid.
