trouble is, advertising space is too
cheap. Advertisers are not par

The Year in Finance. ...
The year has witnessed an increase
in the banking power of the northwest
and the strengthening Of the larger
banks by increases in capital stock and
consolidation. Instances in Minneap-

oils and st. Paul are many, but other
towns, like Fargo, also have larger and
stronger banks today than year ago
and the process is still on.
There has been no money scarcity,
and rates have at no time been high,
altho in the east there were periods
of money demand when the supply
seemed scarcely equal to the demand.
The provision of the northwest banks
for the fall requirements, their fore
sight in providing for the expected call,
and their ability, more pronounced last
year than ever before, to handle their
own business and finance the crop move
ment with only slight aid from the
east, had much to do with the easy

Letters have been sent out by the

Informing them that their taxes were
Illegally paid to the auditor of state;
that they should have been paid to the

The shortage charged against the
late James II. Rice, without interest,
is $11,41S.50. In its report to Cover
nor Hanly the committee that inves-
tigatcd the books OF the State audi
tors office. said:
During the year 1854 the record
show that there was collected by Mr..
Rice as taxes on insurance companies
the sum of So ,9G3.13, while the rec
ords indicate that he paid into the
the treasury only $41,544.65, leaving
still due the State. We ar
rived at this amount by listing the re-
ports of the various companies, show
ing the amount Of taxes collected in
each case.
In his letter to the insurance com
panies Auditor Bigler demands that
each company shall pay its share OF
the amount that was never turned
over to the treasurer. The law impli-
city provides that insurance cOmpan'
les shall pay their taxes directly to
