John R. Thompson.

Tbe name of this distinguished and well known citizen appears in the Daily Soliphone this evening as 8 candidate for sheriff. MT. Thomp- son's friends claim that since the opening of the campaign he has steadily gained strength and that as the last day of the campaign ap- breaches his chances of election grow brighter and brighter. MT. Thompson has so many friends among the poor people of this county whom he has accommodated from time to time that he is dear to them and it is doubtful if man ever lived in 8 county who had so many true friends among the people, especially among the laboring people, for he has s hown himself to be their friend for the last twenty years and it is hard to turn them from him.

might call your attention to the fact
that the State tax at present is 2.83

is necessary for me to goNoutside a
little-one thing we have endea-
vored to bring about in this law is
to get as much revenue, as much
money into,the revenue of the State
as possible and still keep down the
State tax. We have provided all
these various taxes on public SER
vice corporations, most of them at
least, and upon various other cor
porations, that tax goes to the State.
We have endeavored, and it has
been the policy of the commission
to raise as much money as possible
in order to reduce the expenses,
pay the expenses of the State and
reduce the. State tax. We think
that under this law a large amount
of property will be personal prop
erty. which will be brought in and
will be taxed. J. A. S.

This wheat was originated
by a system Of rigid breeding
by selection begun in 1889.
During thefrst two years only
one seed was planted to a hill,
that the best plants might be.
chosen. The yield was under
conditions Of soil and field
mana cement no better than on
many Of the best farms Of
Minnesota. No commercial
fertilizers were used. The fact
that these comparatively large
yields represent six annual
crops, 1895, g. 8, 8, and 1900.
is conclusive proof that the
soil was only moderately man
ured with stable manure, be-.
cause during some of these
years heavy manuring would
have caused the loss Of the
crops by lodging. Under these
conditions common stocks of
fife and blue stern wheats yield

on mortgages not to exceed one per
cent, and here an explanation which
Mr.. Dunn makes will be Of value to
those interested. AS the law is at
the present time, the taxation of
mortgages is generally avoided by
persons living outside the county,
and certainly entirely avoided by
persons living outside the State
wherein the mortgage is given. The
resident of county holding mort
gage in that county is obliged to
pay taxes. The resident of a cOun-
ty holding a mortgage in another
county of the State can escape the
tax if the assessor, is unable to as
certain that he is a resident of the
State The resident of another
State holding d mortgage in this
State is able to'avoid the tax under
the present law. Mr.. Dunn's idea
S to have a mamimum tax of one
per cent on these mortgages; that
before the mortgage is recorded ia
the office of the register of deeds.
the mOrtgagee shall be required to
call at the Office of.the county treas
urer and pay a tax of 'one per cent.
or less on the same. On mortgage
OF 81, 900 the mortgagee would thus
be obliged to pay tax of SO, pro-
the maNimum amount, but Il tax of
One-half or one-t third of one per
cent. could be provided for by the
legislature, and a mortgage run
ming from Que to five years might
be taxed in manner less proper
tionate. In this manner, the mort
gagee residing in another State or
| residing in another county OF this
State would be obliged to pay the
same tax that a mortgagee would
residing in the county where the
mortgage was given, and inasmuch
as the amount is very small no hard
ship would be done and at the same
time the State would undoubtedly
derive an income many times more
than it receives from the present
system of taxation OF mortgages.
Another very important sugges-
tlon by Mr. Dunn and which GER
tainly must appeal to all classes. is
the one eNempting household goods
to the amount of $3.50. This ex-
emption Mr.. Dunn would give to
only one member of every family
having household furniture for en-
listmeEt. Mr.. Dunn's theory is.
that the building up of homes should
be encouraged. ,and that the homes
OF many laoorers contain household
| furniture valued at much less than
| tle amount which he would have
exempt, and consequently these
people would not be obliged to pay
ANY tax On the other hand, 1t is
admitted that a fairly comfortable
home can be fitted up with $3.50
worth Of household goods. and
these homes would not be subjects

rate all the way through. He didn t,
understand that so far as the taxes
are concerned, with the exception
OF certain taxes levied By the State,
they are levied In specific amounts,
and being levied ia that way the
rate is determined after the tax lists
have been sent to the county audi
tor and he finds out what the valu-
alton of the county is and then makes
the rate after that time, and that is
the rate Of taxation. There are.
those here, I think, who have heard
these arguments against the bill who
do not understand the situation
with regard to this. Now, let US
see what tax the farmer pays. to un-.
derstand the situation. The farmer.
pays his local tax in the first place.
That tax is a tax on his house, a
school tax and his own town tax.
Now, tbat,is a local tax, and one
that has nothing to do with any
thing outside of that locality. Then
and this is the bulk OF the tax the
| farmer pays. Now, let us see with
reference to that We have then in
certain community of farmers, OF a
certain town. we have got to raise
so much money. Now, it may be
seen that under this law then, that
the farmers property will be raised

now with reference to his real es-
tate, not property which d good
many farmers may have of another
nature. that has nothing to do with
this Now it doesn t make any diff

his property is assessed 50 per
acre or $50 an acre Let us 90

farmer pays is the county tax and

gle depositor in banks amounting
to $400 or less should not be taxed.
BY this feature he would protect
from taxation the deposits OF
the middle AID poorer class that
are now in the banks OF the State.
and more particularly the deposits
in the saving banks OF the larger
cities. This money, Mr.. Dunn con-
tends, is money that is being saved
by these people for the purpose Of
preparing for themselves a home,
or for investment in some manner
that will lead to greater values; and
it is the duty of the State to encour-
age progress, prosperity and thrift
among its people, and it should not
place a tax upon this spirit. Mr.
Dunn would also exempt all bonds
OF the State, counties, townships.
etc, from taxation. Mr.. Dunn S
