UNCOVERED MILLIONS
OF TAXABLE PROPERTY

With an assessment for 1912 of
$135. 5.155,794 on moneys and credits
in Minnesota, it appears from the
| figures of the state tax commission
covered nearly $20,000,000 of tax
able property that they did not get
In 1911. The increase, in the as.
sessment not wholly satisfactory
to the tax commissioners, as a
score of counties have a smaller
return on moneys and credits this
year than a year ago.
In some counties the decrease is
so great that the commission look
ed into the matter at once and
Strengthened the difficulty or cor
rected the discrepancy. Thus the
Rice county return is lower by
about million than the valuation
fixed year ago. 1t appears that
the deputy sent down to make re-
assessment was so eager to make a
showing that he raised the assess
ments way up and then added so
per cent for penalty. The resun
was that nearly 100000 was abated
in Faribault alone. The assessment
will be allowed to stand at the
equalization Of the county board.
In Renville, Stevens and one or two
other counties matters have been
adjusted. What will be done in the
other twenty counties has not been
determined. The gain in any event
will be comparatively small and
the commission may not deem it
worth while to bother with order
ing hearings at this late date.
The total assessment for moneys
and credits in 1910 was $13,919,801.
At that time, however, property un-
der this head was assessed as per-
sonal property and paid the full
tax, ranging from 20 mills upward.
Under the new system of taxing
moneys and credits the standing
rate in all counties, regardless of
local rates, is 3 mills.
The valuation now is ten times
higher than two years ago, but II
30 mills is the average rate of gen.
eral taxation the revenues will be
about the same as in 1910.
Assessments by Counties.
Following is a summarized table,
comparing the 1911 and 1912 as
sessments on moneys and credits

ATTORNEYS WILL MEET
TO CONSIDER MATTERS
From Wednesdays Daily.

Attorney H. L. Schmitt, acting pres
ident of the Blue Earth County Bar
association, has caused to be sent
out the following letter to members
of the organization. The letter is
self-explanatory:
''Mankato, Mimi, October 8, 1912
Jean A. Flittie, Esq, secretary Blue
Earth County Bar association, City.
Dear Mr. Flittie: There are a num-
ber of matters of Importance to the
lawyers of the Blue Earth County Bar
association that should receive i'm
mediate consideration.
Among these matters are the fol-
lowing:
First. At the meeting of the
Minnesota State Bar association, i
took the responsibility of extending
an invitation to that association to
hold its 1913 meeting at Mankato.
The invitation was fayorably re-
ceived, and final determination of
the question referred to the board of
governors, of which | am a member.
This matter will be likely to come
up before that board very soon. In
order to secure this meeting here,
We will have to put forth considerable
efforts to get a good attendance of
the lawyers of this association and
of the surrounding country.
Asks for Social Session.
Second. About a year ago the as
sociation had made all plans and ar
rangements for social meeting to
be held about this time of the year.
Owing to the death of one of the
members, the matter fell through.
feel that we ought to have at least
one social meeting year, and my
own personal opinion is that a good
time to have it would be the day of
the opening of the November term
of our district court.
Should Judge of Qualifications.
Third 1t is my personal opinion
that the lawyers of the state of Min
be best fitted to Judge what candi-
dates for positions upon our supreme
court, are best fitted to serve on
that court. | believe, therefore, that
it is perfectly proper, and the duty
of our bar association to take up
the matter and give the voters, who
have not, and cannot have the op-
portunity to know the candidates as
we do, the benefit of our judgment.
"At the suggestion OF several
members, | have decided to call a
meeting of the Blue Earth County
Bar association at my office for this
evening at 8 o'clock p. m.
will you kindly notify the mem
bers of this meeting? Very truly
yours,
II. L. Schmidt, acting president
