Fore Doors Included

The new Overands are made with fore doors
and without-your' choice at one price The
fore door models, for which most makers charge
an extra price, sell the same as the open front
We do this because fore doors will be the
coming vogue. In Europe, where motor styles
are set, 81 per cent of this years models are
shown with fore doors.
Soon or late, every motor car maker must
include fore doors at his standard price So
the Overland, in maintaining its lead, is doing
just that this year.

20 Attractive Designs

The improvements of this year are mainly in
refinement of design. Overland mechanism can
hardly be further perfected, 1t brought this
car, in two short years, to the dominant place
in this line.
Our master designers have this year created
% attractive models, largely based on foreign
trend. The best of them will take their place
among the most attractive cars in the world.
No cars are made at any price with better style,

Cost Reduced 8 Per Cent

We will continue to manufacture line Of
five models, the same as produced in 1910; but
as result of an investment of $30O0,O00 in new
equipment, these five models, as well as all new
models, have been reduced in cost to the con-
sumner an average of per cent-making % per
cent in two years.
We have made this reduction in spite Of the
advance in materials, the great jump in rubber,
the increase in wage. We have done it while
other makers of w-profit have been
forced to advances, in one way or another.

GRAY DELIVERS HIS KEYNOTE
COUNTY OPTION PLANK FAVORED
STRONGLY.
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Comes Out for "Dry"
Platform.

Fergus Falls, Sept. 2S.-James Gray,
Democratic candidate for governor,
opened his campaign here, and de-
clared himself in favor of county op-
ton.
. The keynote speech was delivered
without the assistance of John Lind,
who, it was said, was obliged to be
absent in Chicago.
Mr.. Gray's opening address was not
able largely for its absence of parti-
san appeal, for its desire to secure
Republican support, and by it's declar-
alton for county option.
This was the one declaration that
the voters of the state were looking
for. 1t was the more remarkable in
view of the conditions that had pre-
coded. The Democratic convention
which had met in Minneapolis, had
turned down all efforts to secure the
adoption of county option plank.
The nomination OF Mr.. Gray was
made with the approval of John Lind.
who, with William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska, stands. for county option,
an entirely new issue for the Demo-
cratic party.
The decision to adopt county option
had been reached several days before
in st. Paul. Democratic senators who
are fighting for their lives and who
feel that the adoption of county op.
ton issue may encompass their de.
feat, had protested, but the decision
was finally reached to override tho
decision of the convention.
Mr.. Gray voiced that decision. The
candidate made practically his first
public appearance as candidate for
governor. The meeting was a large
and successful one, and was presided
over by Senator Ole Sageng, the last
of the Populists, who is also an ar.
dent county optionist
Joining hands with Congressman
Hammond of st. James, who voted
against it, Mr.. Gray assailed the tar.
if commission and called it a bunco.
The newspaper candidate was given
rousing reception and many of the
old line Democrats of this section and
some Republicans, including Elmer
Adams of Fergus Falls, were on hand
to listen to the opening gun of the
Democratic campaign. ,..

LOWER STATE
TAXES IN MINI i.
REDUCTION WILL BE ONE-TENTH
OF A MILL UNDER LAST
YEARS LEVY.
RATE WILL NOW BE 81 MILLS
State Officers Urge the Calling In OF
Outstanding Capitol
Certificates.

St. Paul, Sept. 2S.-At conference
between Governor Eberhart, Attorney
General Simpson and State Auditor
Iverson it was decided to make the
total state tax levy for 1910 two and
seven-tenths mills, a reduction of one
tenth of mill from thut of last year.
The total levy is as follows:
State revenue, nine-tenths OF mill;
soldiers relief fund, one-tenth of
mill; state road and bridge fund, five
hundredths of mill; university
campus, seventeen hundredths of
mill; and state school tax, one mill.
The levy is the same as last year
with the exception Of the revenue fund,
which is nine-tenths of mill as COM
pared with one mill last year.
The surplus of the state treasury to-
day is $935,370, as compared with $64,-
524.32. For the time it was thought
advisable to materially reduce the tax
levy for this year by throwing the en-
tire surplus into the state revenue
fund, but at yesterdays conference, it
was thought best to maintain tax
levy almost up to what it was year
ago and use the large balance for much
needed purposes, especially to take
care of the state capitol bond.
State Owes So, 100000.
The state owes, at the present time,
$2,l00,000 on the capitol building,
which is represented by state capitol
certificates as follows: $1,7OO,OO0 draw
ing per cent interest, payable $780,.
600 from 1911 to 1927, and 100000 at
3h per cent, payable, on or before 1923
to 1881. OF these certificates, $1,000
900 are held by the school fund and
100000 by the swamp land fund. 1t
is the intention Of the state officers to
recommend to the legislature that an
act be passed calling in and paying off
about $1,000,000 of these capitol GER
tificates.
This procedure will have two results,
namely, it will reduce the interest
bearing debts of the state by that
amount and it will place about 81 ,OOO,-
900 in the school fund, which is need
ed to take care of the applications
from the counties and cities of the
state for loans with which to carry on
public improvements, such as school
| houses, village improvements and
county bitches,
