State Commission Makes Strin-
gent Rules Governing Abate-
mentS

In order to check some of the
abuses which have grown up in the
matter of applications for abatement
of taxes, the state tax commission
has adopted a set of rules relating to
applications for reduction, abatement
Or refundment of taxes. Copies of
the rules are now being sent out to
the county auditors and in the future
cnly such applications as conform to
these rules will be considered by the
commission.
Regular meetings 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 ex-
cept for extraordinary reasons requir-
ing immediate acton. The rules also
provide the form of application and
tie action to be taken by the local
authorities 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 establishing a uniform course of
procedure and checking some of the
abuses which have developed. While
We recognize the fact that by far
the greatest part of these applicants
are bona fide and fully entitle the
applicants to relief, we are also aware
that many of them are without mer-
it. 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
cooperation in giving the 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 applicant must have given you
in the past will be much lessoned
without doing injury Or injustice to
anv meritorious applicant

MORE AUTOMOBILES
J. A. Cdughren Purchases Two Mach
ines and DR.. n. F. nenpemann
Buys One

J. A. Caughren, who never does
things by halves, went to Minneapolis
last week accompanied by r. L. Pal
mer to look up the automobile kusi-
ness, the microbe having found per-
manent lodgment in Mr.. Caughren's
system. They tested everything in
the auto line thoroughly, covering all
til bad roads they could find in the
vicinity of Minneapolis. Mr.. Caughrel
had slight advantage as he took to
the front seat with the chauffer,
while Mr.. Palmer was between the
back seat and the top most of the
time, getting kink in his back
Mr.. Caughren did not decide on a
purchase until he had returned home
and consulted his family. Then, on
Tuesday, accompanied by his daugh-
ter, Pearl, Mr. Caughren returned to
Minneapolis and purchased a six
cylinder, AZ horse power Pierce-Ar-
row, the largest and finest machine
made; also Buick runabout. The
following morning, Mr.. Palmer, in
response to a telephone message from
Mr.. Caughren, went to Minneapolisa c.
companied by his daughter Hazel
All returned the following day with
the two machines, covering the dis
tance between Minneapolis and Sauk
Centre in less than six hours, spend
ing three hours for rest and dinner
at st. Cloud and an hour at Melrose
for supper. Miss Palmer drove the
Buick part of the way and said it
was a little dandy to go On the road,
but when it got into ploughed fields
it jumped like a bucking broncho.
The only accident was the loss of a
glove.
Saturday forenoon DR.. H. F. Hen
nemann went to Minneapolis and
purchased Buick runabOut, return
ing on Sunday and making a fine
run from the city. His brother, DR..
F. c. Hennemann, accompanied him
down from ST. Cloud and made a
similar purchase for himself
