State Board Of Equalization De-
clares Revenue Laws
Need Revision.
RATE SOON TO BE LOWERED
When S2.OO0.0O0 Mark l. Reached =
Mn Levy WIN Automatically
Drop to Nils.

The state board Of equalization this
morning nlod with tho governor its bi-
onnlai report, tho chief point Of inter-
est In which. FOR the consideration Of
the taxpayer. being that under the
showing made the state win coon have
70 faco very serious problem In the
matter OF It's revenues.
This statement seems strange and
very contradictory az first glance be-
cause the wealth Of the state, as shown
by the boards reports covering the llnle
since 1890. has Increased from Slh. no.
$40 to sl65. Ssl, ga, a net gain OF 4bb'-
S.474. and the fact that the states ok
ponses are growing faster than its rev.
enues. comes as something Of sur
prise.
The report freely makes the pred.c-
ton that the time when the 200,uOOoVO
mark will be reached in assessments
ls very close az hand, and under the
law when that time arrives, the rate OF
taxation automatically lowers itself
from the present S-mill rate to mills,
and this viii make a vast decrease 80
the revenues Of the state
PRESENT YEARS REVENUE.
The revenue for the present year. de-
rived from the S-miil levy. Is shown TO
De S827. 05434. and when the S20oooo.000
mark Is reached the revenue derived
from this source viii be but 100000
with the increase IN property values,
the demands OF the various institutions
Of the state are increasing. so that
when the time comes that the state
has a revenue OF but 1000 900 from
this source. the demands will be far
greater than the sum with which 70
meet them.
These things are pointed out by the
board. and appropriate legislation rec
commended.
MONEY AT INTEREST.
One OF the strongest recommends
tlons made by the board is that "a
law be enacted by the next
legislature under which the public
money. for which there Is no immediate
need. be- placed with banks or other
financial institutions, and that II draw
interest.
I'm Idaho and other states as is
pointed out by the report this money
Is awarded 20 banking institutions, VINO
bid for IL publicly. each year ana the
accrued interest so earned, goes Tar To-
ward meeting the necessary expenses OF
the government. The recommendation
that this legislation be enacted IN utah
is earnestly made, as an act OF Justice
and equity to taxpayers.
The report further urges a revision
Of the revenue laws of the state as a
matter OF forestalling the difficulties or
public finance, which IL predicts as
elimination OF the present laws.
REVENUE SOURCES.
The revenues derived from the pres
ent levy, as quoted. are shown to be de-
rived from the following sources:
Real estate. S55,4S0.621
improvements. 84,SS5,s44.

SHERIFF ARMSTRONG ASKS FOR
RAISE IN SALARY.

Sheriff Frank Armstrong appeared
before the board of county com
mlssloners at their regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon and
petltioned that body to raise his salary
$500, bringing 1t up to 81, 700 per year
instead Of 81, 100, on the grounds that
the present salary was not sufficient
remuneration for the services required
by that Office. The board rejected the
petition and Sheriff Armstrong gave
that body notice that be would appeal
to the district judge for the raise, and
the case will be heard before Judge
Taylor IN st. Cloud on May IL. j. j.
Jacobson will appear for the county.
The law affecting the salary of the
sheritt's Office, as passed, has greatly
benefited this Office IN the southern
counties, but has lowered the income
of it IN the northern counties, and
several Of the northern counties have
already had the salary of this Office
raised either by the county CON-
miss1oners or by the district Judge.

A deal was completed today whereby
Henry Bentfeld, who has successfully
conducted the American House the
past three and half years, disposed
of the interests IN the business to
Joseph Swalier of st. Cloud, who has
leased the establishment for term OF
years, and now is in possession.
Mr.. Swalier and family come
highly recommended. They are
well acquainted with this business,
having previously been in the same
line. Mr.. Swalier was for four years
sheriff of Yellow Medicine county.
Mr.. Swalier will superlntend the
hotel part, and his son, John, who
will arrive in a few days, will look
after the bar that is run in connec-
tiOn.
This establishment has always com
manded an excellent trade. and there
is no doubt, but that with Mr..
Swalier IN charge, it will continue to
do 50.
The place will be entirely renovated
and Iepainted, and a number of
alterations will also be made, SO
that the trade can be taken care of In
the best Of style.
Mr.. Bentfeld, who IS Ill with
erysipelas at the present time. has not
yet decided on what he will do, but
for the present will take a much.
needed rest.

MORRISON co. LAND CO,
ORGANIZATION Perfected
Prominent Men Of County
are Interested

The business men of this city and
county, who are interested IN the
organization of the Morrison County
Land company held meeting at the
Offices of the company Tuesday after
noon and perfected the organization OF
the new land company. G. B. Buck
man was elected manager of the CON-
pany, but no other officers were
elected at this time. As stated some
time ago, the object of the company
is to secure settlers from neighboring
states to settle on the unoccupled farm
lands of the county, which will prove
direct benefit to Little Falls and
other towns and villages of the county.
Besides G. B. Buckman, the new
land company includes the following
membership: s. R. Snow and H. NJ.
Magee of this city, j. Schwarz of
Royalton, John Schmolke OF Buckman,
Jos. Grell of Pierz and Martin Enke
Of Lincoln.
Several agents from a couple of the
larger cities of Illinois were here a
few days ago looking over some OF the
Morrison county lands, and doubtless
a number of the new settlers will be
located here through them and the
local company.

LIKE TO CONNECT HERE
Elm Dale Telephone Co.
Will Most Likely Connect
With Northwestern

[ The directors of the Elm Dale Tele-
phone company met with District
Manager Maloney of st. Cloud Mon.
DAY at Holdingford to see what could
be done IN the matter of making
switch board connections with the
Northwestern line At the present
time the Elm Dale line has telephones
in Holding, Swanville and Royalton.
Commissioner jacobson, who was
in the city Wednesday, informed q
representative of the Herald that an
offer had been made by he North
western people to make switch board
connections at the above towns at q
flve cent rate, and furthermore to make
free connections for those having tele-
phones of the Elm Dale concern IN the
above towns, providing they were
discontinued. and thus get the service
of the Northwestern through their
central Offices.
1t seems as though this is quite an
excellent offer, and In all probability
the Elm Dale people will now get
what they have long wanted.
1t is also understood that the Elm
Dale company desires to make con-
nections with this point, and that if
some assistance is given them they
will build to this city. Little Falls
should certainly have direct COM
munlcation with the Elm Dale people,
and the matter, no doubt, would meet
with encouragement.
