The TAX TANCLE IN The
COUNTY OF KOOCA|CH|NG
The Attorney Generals Office Gives an
Opinion on Question That Bothers
Officials.

St. Paul, Oct. 21.-George T.
Simpson, first assistant attorney
general, today sent a communica-
ton to State Auditor Samuel G.
Iverson relative to the collection
of taxes and sales of lands for de-
linquent taxes,in Itasca and Koochi-
ching counties. Mr.. Simpsons
letter explains the existing difficulty,
as we'll as giving his opinion of the
way to solve the problem. In
writing to Mr.. Iverson he says:
Your favor of recent date, en-
closing the letter of NJ. A. Spang,
auditor of Itasca county, received.
He calls attention therein to the
decision of our court regarding the
sale of absolute property, holding
in effect that current taxes shall be
included in all such sales, and to
the provisions of law that when a
new county is created all back
taxes shall be collected by the
officers of the original county, but
that all taxes levied after the filing
of the petition for the new county
shall be collected by the officers of
such new county. He further states
that Koochiching county was at
the last general election duly created
out of the territory of Itasca county,
and the list of absolute property
for sale in Itasca county contains
a great many descriptions of land
in the new county of Koochlching,
and he further asks how he shall
include the current taxes on land
situated in the new county, but
which is to be sold at absolute
sale by the old county. You refer
his letter to this office for an opinion
thereon.
Replying thereto I beg to advise
that so far as I am advised there is
no provision of law covering the
same. In such an event I beg to

The hottest football game ever
seen in Bemidji was played Saturday,
when the elevens of the Bemidji
high school and the Crookston high
school met on the local gridiron in a
contest for supremacy.
After fierce contest, in which
there was no very decided advantage
on either side, Bemidji won the
game, by a score of s to 0; and that
score just about indicates the respec-
tive strength of the two teams.
There was a great improvement in
the playing of the local eleven over
the form shown in the two previous S
games played here this fall, and the
showing is remarkable, from the
fact that Bemidji has had no coach.
The game was a fast one from
start to finish. Twenty-Five and
twenty-minute halves were decided
upon and there was no "loahng" at
any stage of the game.
Crookston kicked off. Bemidji
got the ball and steadily advanced
it towards the opposition goal, until
the Crookston's forty-hve-yard line
was reached, where the ball was
lost on downs. Crookston forced
the ball back to Bemidji's forty
five-yard line, where the local play.
ers held like stonewall and secured
the ball, and it was Immediately
taken down the field beyond the
danger-point.
From this to the close of the
half the game was see-saw affair,
with the ball in Bemidji territory
most all the time. Twice did the
Crookston players have the ball
within five yards of the Bemjdji
goal, and each time Bemidji held
for downs and carried the ball out
of danger.
The half ended with the score a
tie, neither side having been able
to score.
In the second half, the Bemidji j
players took the offensive.

suggest that the county auditor of
Itasca county announce to persons
about to bid upon lands offered for
sale by him at the absolute. sale of
property therein, that the current
taxes on said pieces of property so
purchased by them must be paid
either to the county auditor of
Koochiching county or may be paid
to himself, the counny auditor of
Itasca county, and that in any
event the certificates of sale of
property so purchased from him
will be held by him and will not be
delivered to the purchaser until the
receipt of the county auditor of
Koochiching county for the current
taxes is presented.
while this may seem an arbitrary
method, I am advised Of no other
means which will effectually protect
the rights of all parties. All moneys
so collected for current taxes by the
auditor of Itasca county should not
be placed in the county treasury of
Itasca county, but should be re-
mitted to the treasuer of Koochich.

Much Diphtheria.

DR.. Blakeslee, who has been in
the country near Shotly for several
days, looking after diphtheria cases,
returned this morning.
The doctor reports that nearly all
the families living near Shotly are
afflicted with diphtheria of the most
malignant kind-black diphtheria.
There are fourteen actual cases of
black diphtheria, the last taken
with diphtheria being Ben and
Lauritz Anderson.
The doctor states that he believes
the spread of the disease has been
stopped and that he will be able to
stamp out the diphtheria altogether.
So severe have been some of the
caaes that a number who have re-
covered have entirely lost their
speech.
DR.. Blakeslee has words of praise
for Rev. Bumdahl, the Luthern pastor
at Blackduck, who did yoeman SER
vice in caring for the diphtheria
patients. Rev. Bumdahl waded
through the swamps with his feet
clad only in light shoes, and his self
denial in behalf of the afflicted fami.
les, deserves great praise.

It is not for me to overthrow the
law by refusing to name the time
for the executions. It is a plain
duty which I shall perform, much as
l dislike to do it, and although it is
all against my individual sentiments
and beliefs"
Frank A. Day, the governors Sec
retary,is is also opposed to capital
punishment. He disagrees with the
governor, however, as to what that
gentleman should do in the cases
at bar" He would like to see the
governor absolutely refuse to set
any date for these hangings, and to
come out with a public explanation
of the refusal on the grounds of his
individual beliefs.
I think a great majority of the
people of Minnesota believe the same
as does the governor said Day in
discussing the matter, and that
his refusal to set the date for the
executions would be generally
applauded.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON NOT
I'm LOVE WITH TRYING TASK

Gov. ]. A. Johnson has on his
hands the most disagreeable duty
that ever falls upon the shoulders of
chief executive to perform - the
setting of the date for the hanging
of two Bemidji murderers. Not
only does he dislike the job, but he
is not at all in sympathy with the
hanging of men BY their fellow men
for the crime of murder or anything
else.
You can say for me-" said Gov.
johnson to a News s-Tribune CORES

a still existing relic of the times of
barbarism. I do not believe in
capital punishment. I do not believe
that man should take the life of man
under the protection of law or with.
out law. Yet I shall set the dates
for the hanglngs in the two cases
which are pending before me. It is
not a matter of choice on my part
