STATE TAXES
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-At a lengthy conference
between Governor Eberhart, Attorney
General Simpson and State Auditor
1verson it was decided to make the
total state tax levy for 1910 two and
seven-tenths mills, reduction of one
tenth of mill from that of last year.
The total levy is as follows:
State revenue, nine-tenths of a mill:
soldiers relief fund, one-tenth of a
mill; state road and bridge fund, five
hundredths of a. mill: university
campus, seventeen hundredths of a
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 a 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 a 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 81, 100000.
The state owes, at the present time,
$2,100,o00 on the capitol building,
which is represented by state capitol
certificates as follows: $1,700,000 draw
ing 3 per cent interest, payable $780,.
900 from 1911. to 1927, and 100000 at
81 per cent, payable, on or before 1928
to 1881. or these certificates, $780,
600 are held by the school fund and
100000 by the swamp land fund. It
is the intention of the state officers to
recommend to the legislature that an
act be passed calling in and paying off
about 100000 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, 000,-
600 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.

GERMANY EXCITED
OVER CHINESE
PRINCE
(By United Press Leased Wire)

BERLIN. May 2S.-Prince Tsai
Tao, Chinese minister of war, uncle
of the emperor and brother of the
prince regent, arrived here today to
study the German military system.
He probably will be received by
Kaiser Wilhelm Monday.
The presence of the oriental dip
lomat is causing a stir in military
circles. Every effort will be made
by the German officials to set the
German system before Prince Tao
in it's entirety. He will be escorted
through forts, barracks and de-
fenses: will have explained to him
the system of commissariat and
Quartermaster's departments and
will witness maneuvers of all
branches of the service.
Already opposition to this has
developed and critics of the army
are protesting against putting the
prince in possession of the details
of the military, which they declare
would change the Chinese army of
today into a great body that would
menace the whole world.
