come and eradicated by the use Of
the dipping vat, model of which
he exhibited, showing how it was
used and explaining It's effectiveness
in tick eradication. He said that in
Mississippi they were in general use
and that in one county the police
Jury had put one in every ward for
public use. By their use cattle can
be freed from the tick in ore season.
That in Mississippi 10000 square
miles had been cleaned of them in
three years.

ed in comparison with the Poland
China, the Berkshire and the Red
Duroc Jersey hogs, and the amuse-
ment of the crowd was increased By
Ia humorous story of the Louisiana
breed.
DR.. Dalrymple made statement
that is worthy of consideration when
he said that the cattle tick is cost
ing the Southern States 100000
900 per annum and Louisiana $5,-
100000. When it is considered that
this money can be saved by eradi-
eating the tick, and that this can be
done by the use of the dipping vat,
and that further, Northern cattlemen
would invest in Southern lands if
we do away with this tick, the Ques-
ton becomes a most important one.

and exhibited them in Chicago to
admiring crowds. He said that the
boys hog clubs had bred some price
winning stock, and he also spoke of
the work Of the girls clubs
State Supt. Harris spoke of the ne
cessity of education in bringing the
best faculties of the State into the
work of advancement. He said that
the chief asset of the State was not
the fine cattle and hogs and corn,
but the young people who were
growing up and who would be its
future mainstay. What was needed
was good schools in the country-an
education that would give efficiency.
Many listened to the talks from
the car and examined the stock and
while others roamed
the coaches with the corn
and other exhibits or took advantage
Of the instructions on canning.
The school children and teachers |
were among those who listened to i
the talks made.
The cattle were taken out for ex-

" to see them. |

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
Efforts of the Legislature to Amend the Assessment
Laws and Suggestions by the Tax Commission
(Thirty-fourth Article)

Having failed in 1909 in every
effort to amend the laws governing
the assessment of property and re-
cognizing the embarrassment of the
situation the legislature on the last
day of the session adopted the fol-
lowing concurrent resolution:
Be it resolved by the Senate, the
House of Representatives con-
curing:
That, whereas the basis of valu-
alton of property for taxation in
this state has actually been other
than its true value, and the fnan-
cial affairs of the various counties,
municipalities and state institutions
have been regulated so as to accord
with the present taxable valuation
of property, and
Whereas, there is legislation
pending looking to the establish
ment of a more uniform basis of
actual valuation for taxation, and
such a basis would affect the affairs
of state institutions. municipalities,
and counties, therefore, be it re-
solved by the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurring:
That the state tax commission
be, and it hereby is requested to
take into consideration in any re-
gulation it may make as to the
valuation of property for taxation,
the values which have heretofore
been given such property, and that
the commission so act as not to
create any radical changes in the
present assessed valuation, such as
would derange the relations which
have been created, and now exist,
between the incomes and salaries
paid by different institutions, mum
icipalities, and public offices
throughout the state; and hereby
allow the present relative values to
continue until the next session of
the legislature.
The unfortunate situation was
again presented to the legislature
in all its bearings in 1911 but,
measured by results the outcome
was even more discouraging than
in 1909. A bill providing that all
property should be assessed at SO
per cent of its true and full value
in money! after being amended to
read 1873 per cent, passed the
Senate with little opposition late in
the session and was transmitted to
the House. After careful con-
sideration by the House committee
on taxes and tax laws it was again
radically amended and as it finally
passed that body, provided that all
property subject to the general
property tax should be divided, for
purposes of taxation into four
classes. Glass l was to cover the
homestead of the taxpayer which
was to be assessed at 1873 per cent
of its true and full value. Class 2
was to include all other real estate
which was to be assessed at so per
cent of its true value. Class 3 was
to include household goods and
furniture, wearing apparel, musical

Learn Rum RuInIny

Have you learned the game of
Rum,
The latest game of cards, by gum?
Last night 1 was instructed in
This newest artifce of sin:
Invited over by friend
A quiet evening hour to spend
Solicited by him to come
And learn the splendid game of
rum.
When I got there the stage was
set.
For my undoing. When I'd met
The strangers there, my host
then said,
Draw up chair, we'll 60 ahead
Five Dollars please, for checks, "
I paid
Although the game I'd never
played,
Rum" said my host with un-
concern,
Is such an easy game to learn. J"
First you draw-then you play,
And then you throw card away;
When threes are in you hand you
place them,
Down, of course, exposed of face;
With three in sequence do the
same,
There's nothing further to the
game.
When someone all his cards can
play,
A cent a spot is what you pay. 3"
Before we start, please under
stand
You pay for spots left in hand
A king will cost you Is cents.
Twelve for a queen. But let's
commence.
Eleven for a jack and so on
down; s.f
We are so glad that you could
come;
1t pleases us to teach you rum. "
I drew, discarded and I played.
And every twenty minutes paid
Got stuck with kings, queens
and jacks
And kept the banker selling
stacks
Just nineteen dollars I had drop
ped.
And that I think is going some.
Don't let your neighbors teach
you rum.
