Clean Streets Cost Money.

The streets of the city were swept
last night and the work was done
under as favorable circumstances as
can arise. But glance at the pave
ments this morning showed that it
is impossible for sweeper to make
a pavement absolutely clean even I'M
der the most favorable conditions.
1t cost the city IS for two men and a
team to clean up after the sweeper.
If the sweeper worked every night,
the dirt would not get chance to
pack and would sweep off. The city
cannot afford to pay 500 a month
for the extra sweeping. A f1usher
would do all of this work every day
and for less money than the city
is paying out now for the sweeping
and sprinkling. .

Discrimination in Taxes.

The Hutchinson Leader says, 'The
basis for the equalization of the as
sessment of real estate and personal
property for 1912 was fixed at 33 1-3
per cent of it's actual value as re-
commended by the state tax commits
sion."
Hutchinson is a small town in
Southern Minnesota in Mcleod coun-
ty. The statement may not seem
startling at first glance but little
Investigation will show that it tells
of another instance in which North
ern Minnesota is paying for things
it does not get.
In Beltrami county, by vote of
the assessors in April, personal and
real assessments are based on fifty
per cent of the actual value of the
property. In raising funds for the
county, the basis of taxation makes
no difference as a certain sum must
be raised and the rate on any valua-
ton is made large enough to bring
in this money.
But on the other hand, it does
make difference in the taxes that
go to state funds. It means that
the people of Beltrami will pay into
the state treasury fifty per cent more
in proportion to their wealth than
the people of Mcleod county. For
example, the last state tax was 1888
mills or $.003SS on the assessed valu-
alton. Thus on a property worth
$4,000 located in Beltrami county
taxes on an assessment of fifty per
cent, the owner would pay $19.40 in
state taxes. The same property To-
Gated in Mcleod county taxed on a
basis of one-third would pay $1294.
The difference is $6.47 or fifty per
cent in favor of the Southern Mime
sofa tax payer. "
These figures seem small, especi-
ally when worked out on property
worth about 81, 700, but the state tax
is but one item in all the taxes paid.
In considering applications for re-
ductions in assessments next week it
would be we'll for the county COM
missioners to allow for these differ
ences.

PLANS TO CONSTRUCT
PHILIPPINE HOUSE
Gel. Boughton Will Have
Unique Residence in Vir-
ginia Highlands.

Contract has been let to the Poured
a unique type of residence to be built at
Virginia Highlands. The design is model
ed after houses in the Philippines. Col
Boughton. builder of the house, during
his sojourn near Manila appreciated the
comfort of the tropical homes and decid-
ed to carry out the same idea in the con-
struction of a poured house at Virginia
Highlands. The whole house will be
largely Of glass. with wide easement sash
openings, making the whole house prae-
tically a porch.
This unique residence will have several
features of the Japanese houses in its
construction The typical japanese home
includes a great hall which is divided and
inc.osed by portable screens. In Virginia
Highlands these will be of glass, so that
1t is possible by swinging the screens
back to afford greater space and COM
fo-t. The house will be surmounted by
roof garden, from which view over
looking Washington is afforded. In this
respect and in its general fireproof con-
struction, IL Will be similar to the resi-
dence Of Col. William T. Chantland,
which was built last year.
Col. Boushtons residence will be locat-
ed on the high ground on Cedar Park
way occupying a seventy-five-foot front
age by a depth of 15O feet The house
Will contain eight rooms and bath, with
s.eeping porches and roof garden. Con-
struc1ion will be started during the COM
ing week.
