The wholesalers made advances
OF 2 and 3 cents pound Thurs

the month of June.

creased from 2S to 30 cents a
pound, sirloin steaks from % to
% cents, and first cut rib roasts
from 22 to % cents. The New

A slight increase in the death
rate in Indiana in April is shown
by the monthly bulletin of the
State Board of Health just issued.
The number of deaths in April
was 1854 and the rate 1872, while
the number in the corresponding
month of last year was 2,813 and
the rate 12.7. While there was an
increase in the death rate in April
there was a marked decrease in
sickness and deaths from respira-
tory diseases.

Necessary to nominate. -. .491
In completing its work the ma
tional committee ended one of the
hardest tasks the national body
has tackled in many presidential
campaigns and ended it in COM
parative good nature, in soite of
the fact that there was much to
provoke bad feeling.
Casual observers of the COM
mittee's work probably have gain
ed the impression that, the con-
tests were being decided iii Taft's
favor for political reasons and
may have jumped to the conclu-
sion thae i'll temper was all con-
tanned within the camps of the
allies" 1t is probably nearer the
truth to say that the Taft cam
paign managers are suppressing
more bitterness than the COM
bined candidates are restraining.
The Taft people are convinced
that their opponents went about
it deliberately to raise baseless
contests in the hope that the ma
tional committee might be consti-
tuted adversely to the secretary
and that in this way anti-Taft
delegates, whom they knew had
not been properly elected, might
be seated.
Members of the national COM
mittee say it was impossible for
impartial Judges to give other de-
cisions than those rendered in
each contest ,and they say this,
realizing that the public impress
sion is to the contrary in many
cases.
When it was all over Chairman
Harry S. New made statement
in which he brought out this
point.
1T is an absolute fact he said,
that the committee tried to make
cases for some of the contestants
and was anxious to seat them if
possible. 1t simply could not be
done. They did not have their
cases prepared. They fell down
on proof. 1t was impossible for
any other decisions to be reached.
"On the one side there was a
perfect array of evidence, and on
the other side nothing. We would
ask the opposing contestants to
show some proof to substantiate
their. statements, and the almost
invariable reply was that they had
none. 1t came to such a point
that the committee was working
hard trying to make the case
which the contestants failed to
make"

Trouble with Fish Commissioners

The deputy fish commissioners
attempted to search the house of
Peter Fisher, a well known farna-
er living northwest of Bremen
Sunday. They claimed to have
evidence that Fisher had net in
his possession, and when he de-
INJURED to the search they dis
played their revolvers. Fisher was
not so easily scared however, and
he procured his Winchester.
When the deputies saw the likeli-
hood of a scrap" they relented
in adopting force.
Fisher then invited them to
search the premises with the re-
suit that nothing incriminating
was found.-Bremen Enquirer.

The matter Of accepting the PROPOSE

made this proposition: That if the
fiemen would furnish the license, the
show grounds, space on bill boards,
and the advertising to be done in the
local papers, they would agree to
divide the proceeds above $500, on a
basis Of so per cent.
The proposition did not appeal to
the majority of the firemen present,
some not favoring it at all, while
others drought that if the affair
would tend to make a better celebra-
ton here, we should have 1t, especially

TAX ABATEMENT RULES
State Tax Commission
Makes Strict Set Of
Rules

In order to check some of the abuses
which have grown up in the matter OF
applications for abatement of taxes,
the state tax commlsson has adopted
q set of rules relating to applications
for reduction, abatement or refund
ment of taxes. Copies of the rules
are now being sent out to the county
auditors and in the future only such
applications as conform to these rules
will be considered by the commission.
Regular meeting of the commission
for the consideration Of applications
will be held on the third Monday in
each month, when all persons will
have an opportunity to be heard upon
any pending application, and none
will be heard at any other time except
for extraordinary reasons requiring
immediate action. The rules also
provide the form of application and
the action to be taken by the local
authorietis before the applications are
sent to the commission and general
rules covering the subject.
In sending copies Of the rules to the
county auditors the commission is
sending the following letter:
The experience Of the commission in
the matter of applications for the
abatement or refundment of taxes has
convinced us Of the desirability Of
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1908-06-19

establishing uniform course Of
procedure and checking some Of the
abuses which have developed While
we recognize the fact that by far the
greater part Of these applic ations are
bona fide and fully entitle the
applicants to relief, we are also aware
that many of them are without merit.
There has gradually grown up
throughout the state a looseness of
practice in these matters which has
resulted in a great increase in the
number of such applications, and also
IN the work of the county and state
officials whose duty it is to handle and
determine them.
For these reasons the commission has
adopted the enclosed rules and
regulations, and asks your earnest Co
operation in giving them force and
vitality. We believe by conforming to
them much good will result to your
county and to the state, and that the
annoyance and labor which such
applications must have given you in
the past will be much lessened with
out doing injury or injustice to any
meritorious applicant.

that surpasses all those of the past, a
new and complete menagerie, another

history.

was appointed to wait on them. There
was q representative crowd Of
merchants present, and they unan-
imously urged the fremen, through
the committee, to have the show
come. Upon presenting this fact to
the f1emen who were in meeting, they
voted by a large majority to accept
the proposition, and the chief and
secretary closed the contract at once
As afterwards there seemed to be q
good deal Of dissatisfaction over the
action Of the department. taking .the
day night to re-conside the matter,
Chief Emder stating that if the fire.
men wished to turn the matter over to
the street fair committee, they would
take it off their hands, and a majority
of the committee being present, they
expressed themselves accordingly.
There was much discussion for and in
favor of the proposition, but as the
main objection was in having the
show here at all, it was the consensus
of opinion, that as the contract was
made, without any chance Of the show
people cancelling it, the firemen should
go ahead with the proposition in
preference to anyone else Upon a
motion to ratify the action Of the
previous meeting, the large number
who were present, voted practically
solid for it, although under different
circumstances large. number would
not have done so.
. A committee composed OF Ed.
Loucks, E. G. Anderson, T. B. Berg,
Chas. Hogle and Geo. Olson, after
adjournment met with the general
committee for the celebration, and an
amiable agreement was reached
whereby the program of the committee
and the show would not conflict. To
do this it was necessary to put the
ball game over to the next day, which
is on Sunday, and the boys were
allowed an additional $40 in agreeing to
this arrangement Otherwise the full
program of speaking, sports, and
fireworks, will take place as usual.
The i'll feeling which existed has
disappeared. and all are unanimous
in pulling together for a glorious
celebration.
