HON. 5. BRUNDIDGE
 MAKES AN ADDRESS

entitled to the best road system in the United States, but we will never get it until the United States government joins in with the different states" is the kew note struck by Hon. s. Brun. didge in an address before the Arkansas Good Roads Associa. tion Wednesday.
 The meeting was the best in the history of the organization, with nearly 500 delegates repre- senting almost every county reg istered. Not only good roads but more and better roads was emphasized in every speech. As a concrete result of the conven- tion, a proposed general law will be reported Thursday afternoon for discussion and endorsement, and an effort will be made to get it through the next session of the Legislature. The Legisla tive committee appointed by President Harp consists of Clay Sloan, c. M. Philpot, Harry E. Cook, J. D. Doyle, and Joe Ash CT.
 One of the notable addresses the first day of the convention was that of Hon. Charles P. , Light, connected with the Ma tional Highway Improvement As sociation at Washington, D. c. He said that he is trying to be an honest highwayman, and what this country most needs is roads and drainage organization in each county to control the wa ter and the politics. The solu- tion of the good roads problem rests upon the determination of the individual taxpayer to un. dertake the work, and not to put it off on someone else. He declared that schools, roads and the judiciary should be free from the contamination of partisan politics. He caused laugh when he declared that he did not favor woman sutfrage-that he thought a woman is not entitled to vote, but each should have voter. Discussing national aid, he said that there is no way to tell when we will get it, but he be- lieved the time is coming when we will have national highways, and that state will get the most that does the most for itself.
 Among the other speakers were: w. J. Parker, Pine Bluff, on county supervision; c. w.. Watson. demonstration agent, on Drainage; H. L. RemmeI, on Good Roads as a Business Prop osition; W. II. Harvey, of Monte Ne, on The Great White Way; B.. NJ. Robinson, of Missouri, on the Highway South from Joplin; A. i D. McNair on Farm Management and Road Building; F C. Pritchard, President Washing i ton County Good Roads Associa- tion, and Judge Ben F. Greer, good roads in Washington coun ty; Judge Joe Asher on Road ] Construction; Hon. Clay Sloan, on Dragging the Roads; E. A. Kingsley on Road and Drainage Engineering; Hon. Hal L.. Nor> wood onState Aid to Good Roads; c. NJ Philpot on The Advantage of the Proposed Little Rock-Pine Bluff Pike; so. Sevier, on Ev- olution of Road Building in Ark anSaS.

FIGHT THE EARNINGS TAX

In bulletin issued by it's officers,
the Minnesota State Railway EN-
ployes' Protective association serves
notice that it will fight the proposed
amendment to the constitution by
which the gross earnings tax on rail
roads operating within the state will
be raised from to per cent.
The 5 per cent gross earnings
law was enacted at the extra session
of the legislature. In the house it
was opposed by st. Paul members
from districts in which large mum
bers of railroad employees live, but
carried by vote of 100 to 5.
The bulletin from the railroad EN-.
ployes advocates a campaign of ed
ucation in opposition to the increase
when it comes up for ratification at
the November election. The associa.
ton officials argue that, while large
share of the increase in taxes will
be borne by consumers, the whole
amount cannot be met that way, and
that employees must suffer.
"The pay roll will have to pro.
vide it's quota" says the bulletin, $50
that as railway employees we get it
both ways, as consumers and wage
earners."

.BOVINES DOING NO HARM
From Tuesdays Daily.

At the meeting Of the city council
held yesterday, petition was pre-
sented by number of property
owners, asking the council to stop
property owners from allowing their
cows to run at large. The petition
was referred to Mayor Taylor for
investigation. He sent Poundmaster
Tony Thompson to interview these
signers, to find out what was the
trouble. He visited as many as he
could, and all replied that they had
never had experienced any trouble
with cows.
Mr. Thompson then went to Carl
Carlstrom, who is said to have circu-
lated the petition, and Mr. Carlstrom
replied that he had never had any
trouble, except once, when cow de-
stroyed some corn. Mr.. Thompson
wants it understood that in cases
of this kind, he should be called

WRIGHT NOW IN RIGHT
From Tuesdays Daily.


William Wright, who was arrested
at Faribault by Sheriff Osten on a
warrant charging him with grand
larceny in the second degree, was
discharged by Judge Comstock in
municipal court this moning. Claude
Twisselman, a painter, who was the
complaining witness, told practically
the same story printed in The Free
Press some time ago. Wright was
charged with the theft of $3.50 from
Twisselmans trousers, which were
hanging in shed at the rear of the
residence of Charles R. Butler, Clark
street, on June 81. Wright went to
Faribault shortly after June 81,
where he was arrested for jumping
a board bill. He served twenty days
for that.
Judge Comstock stated before dis
charging Wright that there was prac-
tically no evidence produced that
upon which he could find the least
foundation for holding him, and
hence Wright was discharged. Attor-
ney F. E. Ellsworth appeared for
the defendant.

MANY COUNTIES WILL

Fifty counties have applied for
booths for exhibits at the next
state fair, and this promises to be
one Of the greatest agricultural ex-
hibits in the United States; it is
surely to be the greatest in Mime
sofa. Mr.. George Atchison, who is
member of the board of directors,
stated to The Free Press today that
when he first became a member
about thirteen or fourteen counties
applied.
'We will find considerable difficulty
in getting room for all these exhib-
it's" said Mr.. Atchison. "The new
counties of the north especially are
anxious to have exhibits as they
realize the value of advertising. The
older counties of the southern part
of the state are somewhat negligent
in this respect. But Nicollet coun-
ty has awakened to her own beauty
and productiveness and will have

Taxation in
Minnesota

The manner of ascertaining the
percentage of assessed to true value
of real estate by the "sales method"
was briefly explained in the preced-
ing article.
The necessary data or information
for the tabulation of real estate
sales is gathered by representatives
resentatives visit each county of
the state and make a list of all
transfers of real estate made by
warranty deed during period,
usually two years. Care is taken to
include only such transfers as rep
resent bona fide sales, and in which
the consideration stated in the
deed is the actual amount for which
the property was sold. Transfers
that give only a nominal consider
alton, or that include the exchange
of one piece of property for another,
or transfers between near relatives,
such as father to son, are not in
cluded in the tabulation.
Each transfer listed shows the
name of the grantor and grantee,
the date of the conveyance, the con-
sheraton, the book and page of
record, brief description of the
property, and assessed value Of
each description as shown by the
last preceding assessment roll
The sales are compiled and tab
ulated by assessment districts and
are made for the city and village
property and for farm property,
showing in each case the total num-
Der of sales, the aggregate amount
for which the property was sold,
the total assessed value of the same
and the percentage of assessed value
This percentage is then applied to
all real estate in the district or
county and becomes the factor by
which its true value is determined
Let us take Mower county as an
illustration. The total number of
transfers used in compiling the real
estate sales in this county for the
four year period ending December
81, 1911, was 1909. OF this number
59S sales covered farm property,
and Gil sales city and village property.
The total consideration amounted
to $4,7S1, 465, and the assessed value
in 1910 to $1,404,377, an average of
29.37 per cent of assessed to sales
value. The average assessed value
of the farm property sold was found
20 be 1883 per ceut, and of city
and village property 32.1O per cent
