GENERAL ARMY POST,

Ell Paso, Sept. 1.-THE proposal to
establish a general army post here as
announced today by the war depart
ment is considered by army men as
significant of a general mobilization on
the border.
The decision Is the outcome of a
recommendation by General E. q.
Steever, commanding the department
of Texas. An agent Of the commis-
sary department Is understood to be
en- route here from Washington.
Army officers here fear a scarcity
of provisions for men and horses in
event of duty in Mexico, for, since
the Madero revolution, agriculture has
been stagnant in northern Mexico.

Taxation in Minnesota

With this issue the series of arti-
cles upon taxation which the tax
commission has been publishing in
this journal for the past ten months
will be discontinued for the present
The commission has been deeply i'm.
pressed with the fact that notwith-
standing the widespread complaints
of the unfairness and injustice of
the existing method of taxation, COM
paratively 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 improved.
The articles have been prepared
in the hope that, brief as they nee
essarily are, they would to some ex-
tent familiarize the public with the
details of the existing system and
thereby stimulate that discussion
and consideration which must al
ways precede any legislation tend
ing to a reform or improvement of
the system. They have been mainly
devoted to the general property tax
which comes nearest to and directly
affects all of the people, and which
is based upon the assessed valuation
of all property owned by each indi-
vidual.

MISS ALMA RAY Is DEAD
From Mondays Daily.

Miss Alma Ray died Saturday
night at the age of twenty-six
years, after an illness covering a
period of two years, the cause of
her death being tuberculosis of the
brain. Miss Ray lived in Mankato
as a girl and later went to Mime
apolis where she held a position in
the offices of Winston Brothers,
where she remained until her sick
ness made it necessary for her to
give up her work.
Miss Ray was devout member of
the Presbyterian church and was a
young woman of happy and true dis
position, who had a very large cir.
Gle of friends, who will mourn her
death deeply.
The funeral was held at half past
one o'clock this afternoon at Klein's
undertaking rooms by Rev. T. Ross
Paden of the Presbyterian church.
Miss Cornelia Mansfield sang some
of the old hymns which were dear
to Miss Ray. The pallbearers were

GOPHER STATE BUTTER
CARRIES OFF BIG Prize

st. Paul, November MINNESOTA
has the champion buttermaker of the
United States and is the champion
butter state, according to results Of
the butter contest at the National
Dairy show in Chicago, announced
today.
A. L. Radke, Plato, Mimi, won the
national championship, with a score
of 97.5 per cent and is the champion
buttermaker of the United States.
He received a gold medal. Senius
Nelson of New Prague is the second
best buttermaker and he received a
silver medal Minnesota won the
grand sweepstakes prize over all
other states with an average score
of 1886 per cent for fortythree en-
tires. Wisconsin was a close second
with 92.83 per cent.
Has Won Eight Sweepstakes.
The National Dairy show formerly
took place with the National Cream
cry Butter Makers association. Min
nesota has won eight of the sweep
stakes banners in ten years. This
was the first show of dairy products
alone and Minnesota will now go af-
ter the prizes at the spring show of
creamery buttermakers.
Minnesota has won the sweep
stakes prizes at all national and in
ternational expositions since the Pan
American exposition in Buffalo in
1899 and has won both banners of

public purposes is large; they are
low when such expenditure is small.
Assessment and rate are merely the
means of raising the money to be ex-
pended, and of determining how
much each individual shall contribute
for that purpose. But an equality of
taxation as between the individual
taxpayer depends upon the fairness
OF the assessment. The only remedy
for high taxation is reduction in
public expenditures; the remedy for
unfair taxation is a fair and equit-
able assessment.
The commission acknowledges its
Indebtedness to the newspapers of
the state for their cordial and unset
fish assistance in the publication of
these articles. Although their publ.
cation has not been as productive of
as much criticism, suggestion, and
discussion as was expected the COM
mission feels that some public good
has been accomplished. Whatever of
good there may be. lit is largely to
the press of the state that the cred
it is due. Without the least compen-
sation and with some inconvenience
to themselves these newspapers have
given their space literally to the
work of enlightening their readers
upon the perplexing and little under.
stood system of taxation in Minnesota.
The commission will publish the
entire series in pamphlet form for
free general circulation, and will be
pleased to distribute them to those
who by letter or in person may so
request.

Minnesota Wins Again.
st. Paul, November 2.-For the
eleventh time Minnesota has carried
off the grand champion prize fol
dairy products in competition with
the entire country, according to an
announcement yesterday at the con
vention of the Minnesota Butter
Egg and Poultry association, at The
Saint Paul, by Professor T. l.
Hacker of the college of agricul
ture.
The announcement came in the
form of a telegram from Chicago
where the National Dairy exhibition
is in progress. Professor Hacker
said the award had not been an
nOunced officially so that he could
not furnish details, but that he had
been advised simply of the fact that
Minnesota had won the banner.
Dean A. F. Woods, speaking last
night at the banquet, said the con
tinual prize winning by Minnesota
places her without a peer in this
field, not only in this country but
in the whole world.
There have been thirteen of these
competitive exhibitions out of which
Minnesota has taken eleven prizes
The state was defeated once at an
exhibit in New York, but had the
solace of knowing that the exhibitor
who took first honors was a man
who had learned dairying in Mime
sofa. Another defeat in Chicago
Dean Woods said last night, had
better be passed by without com
ment, implying that Minnesota ex
hibitors had not received fair treat
ment on that occasion.

MOTHER HOPES TOCLEAR
SON or ARSON CHARGE

In an interview with Mrs. Kelly,
the mother of Hugh Kelly, who is
now awaiting trial in the district
court charged with setting fire to
the home of Otis Dolson some weeks
ago, she told The Free Press yester-
day afternoon that she returned Sat
urday evening from Faribault where
she went last Tuesday to see DR.. p.
Smith, who attended to her sons
injuries good many years ago at
the time when he was all but stoned
Smith told Mrs. Kelly that there
was no doubt about her sons being
weak-minded and the doctors testi-
mony will probably be brought to
bear in the coming trial.
The stoning of the boy happened
when he was ten years old, since
which time his mother says that her
son has not been right in his mind.
She says that the larger boys chased
her two sons, Hugh and Edward, in
a pasture and Edward got away by
swimming across a creek. Hugh
was not so fortunate, however, and
three boys, all bigger and older than
Hugh, caught him, got him down
and kicked and stoned him until he
was unconscious.
Sick a Long Time.
After this he lay in the valley of
the shadow for three days, when all
gave up hope of his recovery. He
finally began to mend, but it was

more than ten days before he could
speak again. Before this time, Hugh
had been very smart boy and was
making good progress in school. Az
ter the assault he could not learn
al all and hope to teach him was
futile. Every effort was made to
bring back the boys senses and the
priest who watched over him during
his struggle for life, took the lad
into his home and tried his best to
instruct him. This was finally aban-
doned, and the boy was taken from
school as he was subject to epileptic
fits and caused great disturbance in
the. school room whenever he was
attacked
Tried to Get Away From Drink.
DIR. Smith, who had been treat.
ing him, said that the boy would
probably always be weak in his
mind, and that every care should be
taken to keep him from getting the
drink habit. 1t was only while drink
ing that he ever showed violence.
He seemed to have natural, un-
comfortable affinity for liquor and
all efforts to keep him from it were
in vain. Mrs. Kelly said that she
moved to Mankato to get her son
away from evil companions in Fari-
bault who got the boy to drink. This
also was vain attempt.
Mrs. Kelly has not yet engaged
a lawyer for her son but intends to
interview one very soon.

The Minnesota Association for the
Prevention and Relief of Tuberculo
sis begs to announce to the public
and especially to the many purchas
ers of Red Cross Christmas seals and
to the seal agents who by their
splendid cooperation the past four
seasons have made possible state
educa tional campaign that has reach
ed every city and county-that this
is the last appeal that will be made
to the people of Minnesota to buy
seals for state work.
We believe that the coming leg.
islature will pass the bills that will
be introduced providing for state
supervised system of hospitals, dis.
pensaries, nurses, and enforced san,
itary egulations-without which
things the death rate will not be ap-
preciably lowered-and are resting
everything upon this belief. But these
bills and the reasons for them must
be brought to the attention of every
