MAKES COUNTER CHARGE
STATE AUDITOR SAYS EQUALIZ-
sERS WERE FAIRER TO MINNEAP-
Oils THAN MIR. MINOR WAS.

City Assessor G. j. Minor stands by
his statement made at the Retailers
association banquet Tuesday evening
that two members of the state board Of
equalization are tax shirkers.
He says that on one occasion he made
the charge direct to G. M. Sprague,
chairman Of the board. He says that
Mr.. Sprague in his report to the bank
examiner certified that his bank at Sank
Center had $4,000 in undivided profits.
In his tax return he placed the amount
at $500. .4- +,
T. The man most to blame, according to
Mr.. Minor, is 8. G.. Iverson, state au-
ditor, who, he says, continually arrays
the country against the cities. He says
that Iverson has had much to do with
the unjust conditions that prevail, and
expects him to deny it.
State Auditor Iverson, seen this morn
ing, said he would prepare statement
showing that the board of equalization
had dealt fairly with Minneapolis, and
in fact had been more just and equal
with the citizens of Minneapolis than
Mr.. Minor had.
AS soon as time will permit said
Mr.. Iverson, ct will make statement
that [ believe will satisfy the people
of Minneapolis that they have been
fairly dealt with. / will present the
figures and let them speak for them.

for several wears past.

DICK FERRIS HAS
Big SCHEME ON.
PLANS FOR "A WESTERN CIRCUIT
OF PLAYHoUSEs.
Would Keep Stock Companies Constant
~ on the Move ana Bring New Faces
and Plays Into the Theaters-Minne-
apolis a Starting Place for the Cir
cult.

Dick Ferris is planning to become the
Fr0hman Of the west. He is organizing
a theatrical circuit extending from Min
neapolis to Seattle, embracing theaters
in Duluth, Winnipeg, Butte, Portland,
Seattle, Denver, Kansas City and posi-
bly, St. Paul.
1T will be sort Of circuit stock af.
said Mr.. Ferris today. cit is my idea
that this will give a newness to the

give company a play, let them get it

properties, and then start on a tour Of

stands in each city and the companies
would follow along, with new produc-
tions for each swing around the circuit.
eff I push the scheme thru, I will get
the assistance Of good stock people and
will give high grade of entertain
ments. I think the plan would result
in better productions all over the cir
cult. The actors would have. ample
time to master new parts and the plays
would go more evenly and more salts
factorily to the audience. AS it is now,
the actors build up but local celebrity
q chance to exhibit their ability all over
the west, and in that way I think it
would prove beneficial not only to the
actors but to the management.
ct would not put cheap actors on
such circuit, as it will be an expensive
move and could mot take any chance
Of 'queering' it on the start with badly
staged plays or poor actors
CT cannot say just when the deal will
be ready, but it is under way at present
and I expect to have it in shape in a
short time.'' Il
