TAXATION in MINNESOTA
FORTY-FIRST ARTICLE COM.
MISSION WILL SUSPEND PUB.
LEGATION FOR THE PRESENT

With this issue the series of articles
upon taxation which the tax com
mission has been publishing in this
journal for the past ten months wilE
be discontinued for the present. The
commission has been deeply impressed
with the fact that Notwithstanding
the widespread complaints of the un-
fairness and injustice Of the existing
method Of taxation, comparatively few
taxpayers have taken the trouble to
familiarize themselves with the details
of those methods, and fewer still have
devoted much thought or study as TO-.
how those methods may be best improv--
ed.
The articles have been prepared
and published in the hope that, brief
as they necessarily are, they would to-
some extent familiarize the public with
the details Of the existing system and:
thereby stimulate that discussion and
consideration which must always pre-
cede any legislation tending to a re-
form or improvement of the system.
They have been mainly devoted to the
general property tax which comes near
est to and directly affects all Of the
people, and which is based upon the as
sessed valuation of all property own
ed by each individual.
The amount Of taxes collected does,
not depend upon the amount Of the as
sessment of property, nor upon the rate
Of taxation. Taxes are high when and
where the expenditure for public pur-
poses is large; they are low when such
expenditure is small. Assessment and
rate are merely the means of raising
the money to be expended, and Of de-
termining how much each individual
shall contribute for that purpose. But
an equality Of taxation as between the
individual taxpayers depends entirely
upon the fairness OF the assessment.
The only remedy for high taxation is
reduction in public expenditures; the
remedy for unfair taxation is fair
and equitable assessment.
The commission acknowledges its in
debtedness to the newspapers of the,
state for their cordial and unselfish
assistance in the publication Of these
articles. Although their publication has
not been as productive Of as much
criticism, suggestion, and discussion as
was expected the commission feels that
some public good has been accomplish.
ed. Whatever of good there may be, it
is largely to the press Of the state that
the credit is due. Without the least
compensation and with some incon-
-venience to thenHelyes these news
papers have given their space literally
to the work Of enlightening their read
ers upon the perplexing and little un-'
derstood system Of taxation in Mime
sofa.
The commission will publish the en-
tire series in pamphlet form for free
general circulation, and will be pleased
to distribute them to those who by let
ter or in person may so request.

HUNTERS CANNOT SHIP GAME
OUT OF THEIR COUNTY

Some. Of the local sportsmen have
been in doubt as to whether hunter
who has secured a license in his resi-
dent county can ship game into any
other county in the state. The county
attorney has looked this question up
and gives it as his opinion that hunt
ers cannot ship game to nonresident
county.

MORRISON FOR WILSON
RNGDAL ALSO CARRIES COUNTY
present COUNTY OFFICERS
ARE RETURNED

Morrison county on Tuesday was
carried by Wilson for president, Roose-
welt was close second and Taft a bad
third, Wilson carrying the county over
Roosevelt by 173 votes. Wilson carried
the city by handsome vote, but fell
away in the country districts, Roosevelt
being the gamer. Ringdal for governor
carried the city over Eberhart by "a
and the county by l63.
Lindbergh has 1,146 votes in the
county over Gilkinson and will have a
majority in the district Of about 10000.
Vasaly and Gravel carried the coun-
ty over Brown and .Bouck, Vasaly hav-
ing vote Of nearly 800 over the re-
publican candidates and in the district
as whole is high man with Bouck
second, Vasaly and Bouck will repre-
sent this district, composed Of Nor
rison and Crow Wing, the coming two
years.
The county officers were all returned
in all cases by a large majority.
The campaign in this county was
quite free from acrimonious actions
and there will be few sore spots left
among the candidates. Of course this
does not cover the sadness Of the defeat
ed candidates, but they appear to all
be pretty good losers.
The total unofficial vote on presi-
dent, governor, congressman, represen-
tatives, and those who had opposition
on the county ticket follows.

! New York, Nov. 7-Only the uncer
tainty of few close states, whose
electoral vote in no way can affect
the election of Wilson and MARSHALL;
speculation over the popular vote OF
the three presidential candidates: and
the complexion of legislatures that
will name United States senators held
interest in the final returns of general
election.
! The total of the Republican elec-
toral column apparently was fixed at
the twelve votes of Idaho, Utah and
Vermont, but the footing of the Will
son and Roosevelt columns fickered
alternately as late returns from Iowa,
Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming
gave indications Of change.
! On the basis of the latest returns,
with the vote Of Iowa, Kansas, South
Dakota and wyoming placed in the
doubtful" column, President Elect
Wilson had 387 certain votes in the
electoral college; Colonel Roosevelt
8ghty-nine and President Taft twelve.
4he doubtful states. except South Da-
kota, gave more or less certain indi-
cations of landing in the list of Will
son electoral votes, while South Da-
1ota's returns showed general trend
howard a Roosevelt plurality.
! A byphase of the general election
that became known was the success of
woman's suffrage in four of the five
states where constitutional amend
ments were submitted to the people.
The victory of the women was com.
plete in Kansas and Arizona and
possibly Michigan; late returns from
Oregon indicated it had succeeded
there also, while from Wisconsin came
returns showing the decisive defeat of
the equal suffrage proposal.
Estimates of Popular Vote.
Estimates of the popular vote polled
by Governor Wilson ranged through
many millions. 1t was found impossi.
bic to compute, with any accuracy, the
popular vote of any of the presidential
candidates and it will be a number of
days until the counting of the three
cornered contest in the different states
10 concluded and accurate tabulation
Of the popular vote made possible.
Assertions were made from several
quarters where an effort had been
made to gather preliminary popular
vote figures that Governor Wilson had
not secured a majority Of the votes
cast throughout the country.
There were many surprises. New
Hampshire, first credited to Taft, went
dnto the Wilson column with a ma
Ijority Of about 1900 for the Demo.
cratic candidate. Returns from Idaho,
which came in scattering form favored
Wilson so strongly as to create the
belief that it would give him its elec.
toral vote; but late returns made it
the third state to go certainly for
President Taft.
The Roosevelt forces, watching the
returns hourly as they came from I'LL
nois, suffered scare as the down
state Democratic districts reduced
Roosevelt's plurality from Cook coun-
ty until it promised to disappear. A
complete report from Cook county
again swelled the Roosevelt majority in
the state and seemingly made certain
the control of Illinois twenty nine
votes bv the Progressive candidate

The Glee club recently organized
held it's first practice in the Little Falls

to the fact that the board Of education

for this action, is that they claim the
club is on financial basis, and allowing
them the use Of the schools would pro-
