UNCLE SANS TAXES |
BANKS OF MINNESOTA CONTRIB
UTE LARGELY TO SPECIAL
REVENUE FUND
OVER FIVE HUNDRED PAY IN
Smallest Amount Assessed to Any
One Bank Is $5O-Increase
in Number of
Banks.

Deputy United States Collector of In
ternal Revenue L. S. Trussel yesterday
completed his statement of the special
taxes paid by the banks of Minnesota for
the year commencing July 1, and last
night the document was placed on it's
way to Washington
The exact amount paid by the banks,
which are assessed according to their
capital stock, is regarded by the depart
nrent as strictly confidential matter and
therefore the complete data could not be
obtained.
This year 546 banks in the state paid
the special revenue tax, which is an in
crease of thirty three over last year.
This is regarded as an excellent show
ing.
The minimum amount paid by any
bank is $50 so that it can easily be COM
puted that Uncle Sam has reSped a big
harvest of shekels from the financial in
stitutions of the state this year.

HOUSEHOLD COMMODITIES ARE
Likely. TO BE HIGH.


Local commission merchants predict
that butter and eggs will follow the gen
eral tendency of food commodities this
fall and develop iomarked increase in
prices. jJado
1t is freely fntimated along commits
sion row that before Dec. dairy butter
is likely to be sold by the farmers at
prices as high as q cents, and creamery
butter at 26 cents pound, which will
mean retail prices of from Is to 30
cents. These representations are
based upon the fact that the present
demand for butter is strong, and the
prices of all kinds of feed are high.
The wholesale price of eggs is now IA
cents a dozen, and retail prices from is
to Is cents. 1t is believed that as the win
ter season advances the farmers will de-
bring the retail prices UP to from 20 to
Is cents.
