Increase i'm Taxes

County Auditor Ware has computed
the tax rate for the county, and finds
that the rate here in the City of Nor
ris next year will be SAB mills. This
is an increase of 11.2O mills, and is due
both to an increase of the levies by
the state, county, city and school dis
trict, and also to a decrease in the
valuation. The state rate is increased
0.7O mills, the county rate 100 mill the
city rate $50 mills and the school dis
trict rate 800 mills, making a total
increase of 11.2O mills.

Death of j. R. Perkins.

]. r. Perkins, one of the old settlers
of Stevens county, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. E. Fl. Noel, at
Mahnomen, Mimi. on Tuesday, Nov.
5th, at the advanced age of 70 years.
Mr.. Perkins went to the home of his
daughter in July, and alsho he was in
fair health at that time, he was suffer-
ing from kidney trouble for which he
had undergone an operation, and this
proved to be the cause of his death in
connection with the infirmities of old
age. The remains were brought here
on Wednesday, and the funeral was
held yesterday from the Methodist
church, Rev. F. A. Lawson preaching
the funeral sermon.
John r. Perkins was born in Frank
lyn county, Maine, on April 28th, 1881.
There he grew to manhood and on
Feb. %, 1858, was married to Hannah
E. Judkins. About fifty years ago,
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins came to this
state, settling first at Red Wing in
Goodhue county, and from there COM
ing to Morris in 1876. On April 26th,
1881, Mrs. Perkins died, and subse-
quently, Mr.. Perkins married his
present wife, who survives him. The
surviving children by the first mar
riage are L. D. Perkins, of Swan Lake,
G. r. Perkins, of Brewster, WASH,
and Mrs. E. HI. Noel, of Mahnome;
and by the second marriage are Mae
Perkins, Mrs. G. l.. Hogan, Allie Per-
kins and Clarence Perkins.
Mr.. Perkins first came to Morris in
1876, when he purchased section of
land north of town, which he later
sold to Mr.. Stanton. He moved here
in 1875, and for some time run hotel
which stood where the Spooner Brick
Block now stands, and was known as
the Perkins House. After the death
of his wife, Mr.. Perkins returned to
Red Wing for matter of ten years,
and then again in 1897 came back to
| Morris.
| Mr.. Perkins was charter member
of Morris Lodge, No. 55, A. o. U. W.,
which organization attended the fun
eral yesterday in a body.

WHAT TITS AND WHAT 1T HAS
DONE.
Something about the Success of the
Association Which Has Been
rIost Active i'm Bringing about
Transportation Reforms and
Still Has lore Work on Hand.

The Shippers Association is an Or
ganization of Minnesota business
men, the object of which is to secure
reasonable rates and the same kind of
transportation treatment for all class
es of Shippers and all communities.
Discrimination in rates is the greatest
evil connected with the whole rail-
road problem, and it was to do away
+. with the unjust policy of discrimina-
tion that has prevailed in this state
for quarter of century that the
Association gave its support to the
distance tariff bill in the last legis-
lature, and will continue a campaign
of education for that measure until
another session assemblies.
The Merchandise Rate. Last No
vealber the Shippers Association
secured, thru the Railroad and Ware
house Commission, reduction of 20
per cent, in freight rates on all mer-
chandise shipped locally in the state
of Minnesota, thereby giving shippers
and receivers of freight saving of
several millions every year.
Reciprocal Demurrage. Our &C.
ond attempt to get this bill thru the
legislature was successful and this
state now has law which gives re-
ciprocal rights to shippers in demur-
rage matters.
Commodity Rates. The Associa-
ton, after repeated hearings before
the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission, secured commodity rate
reduction. The railroads held up the
reduction in the courts until the leg

islature passed what is known as the
sscompremise commodity rate bill"
Judge Lochren recently enjoined the
state from enforcing this law, and at
this date the railroads continue to col
lect about $25, 900 month in excess
of the legal freight rates on carload
lots. On September 25th the Associa-
ton began several actions before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
asking for 25 per cent reduction on
all carload commodity shipments,
taking as one terminal IN each case
point just outside of Minnesota to give
interstate Jurisdiction. Millions are
involved in these cases.
It's Legislative Influence. The Ship
pers Association maintained lobby
at the capitol during the last session
and was practically the only organic
ed reform influence that represented
the interest of the people in railroad
legislation. We give substantial sup
port to all railroad reforms and it
was owing to the eternal vigilance of
this lobby that several big wood
chucks were discovered and defeated.
The Association also took the initia-
tive in many matters that yielded sub
stantial results, notably the Sund-
berg investigating committee in the
senate.
The Claim Department. A traffic
expert is employed to collect claims
that shippers may have against rail-
roads. Any legitimate claims is ham
died without expense to members
of the Association.
Some Concessions secured.
First. By arrange ement with the
Minnesota Transfer Company the
reconsigning charge of $500 per car
which was previously assessed on all
car load shipments moving to or
through Minnesota Transfer station
has been abolished.
Second. A reduction of 1925 per car
on shipments handled locally in the
Chicago Great Western yards at st.
Paul and South st. Paul has been
secured.
Third. Reduction in the coal rate
from the head of the Lakes to Hast
ings and Langdon, 40 cents per ton.
Fourth. Reduction on the coal rate
from Duluth to Buffalo Lake Minnesota
Is cents per ton.
Fifth. A 5 cent rate on grain from
White Bear and points north thereof

erly assessed has been cancelled.
Seventh. Arrangements has been
entered into with the st. Paul road to
apply the Duluth rate as maximum
an all car load shipments moving to
or from points on its line and stations
on the Northern Pacific, White Bear
to Carlton, Minn.
Eighth. An order has been issued,
after suit brought before the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission, which
order required the enforcement of
Demurrage Rules by the Terminal
Dispatch Association on Trust Goods
as well as on the products of grain
and other commodities.

press rates, first class between st.
