number of hayfever cases that have
already developed.
1T is a little early in the season
for the disease but this condition is
a result of the early growth of the
rag weed" said he. The crop this
year is the largest i have ever seen.
The abundance of rain and ideal
weather conditions has done much to
hasten the growth of the weed and
it is to be found almost everywhere"
Many Mankatoians susceptible to
hayfever have left the city for sec
tions where weeds do not annoy
inflamed and sensitive nasal pass
ages. Doctors say some persons have
gone as far as Europe in the hope of
riding themelves of constant sneez-
ing and the ticklish feeling felt in
the lungs. Hayfever, doctors say,
usually starts with the burning of
the eyes and sneezing which later
affects the lungs and causes much
annoyance.

The state constitution provides
that property used for certain speci.
fed purposes shall be exempt from
taxation. Exempt property may be
divided into four general classes,
% educational, CD religious, CD
charitable, and (4) public. .
In addition to the above, there may
be exempted from taxation personal
property not exceeding in value
5000 for each household, individual
or head of a family, as the legisla.
ture may determine.
Property used for educational pur.
poses includes public libraries, pub
lie school houses, academies, col
leges, universities, and all semin-
aries of learning. Property leased
to an educational institution, how
ever, or property owned by such an
institution but not devoted to or
necessary for it's use is not exempt
from taxation.
Church property includes all church
es and houses of worship and the
land necessary for the proper use
and enjoyment of the same. Mere
ownership by a church, however,
does not necessarily exempt the
property from taxation. Under the
decisions of the. courts a parsonage
or a rectory belonging to a church.,
ever though used in part for religi-
u services, is not exempt from
taxation; nor is land or other prop
erty owned by a church but not
used for church purposes exempt
property.
Property used for charitable pur-
poses includes public hospitals, and
all institutions of purely public char
ity, such as almshouses, homes for
orphans, the aged or dependents,
and all other property devoted ex-
clusively to public charity.
Public property includes all prop
erty of the federal and state gov
rnments, and the property of each
municipality of the state used for
public purposes. Property owned
by a municipality but not used or
necessary for public purposes is not
exempt from taxation.
In a general way it may be said
that it is the use. not the owner
ship, that determines the question
of exemption. Constitutional pro-
visions governing exemptions, and
statutory laws based on the consti-
tuition, are strictly construed by the
courts. Such exemptions are re-
garded as al abrogation of part of
the sovereignty of the state, and
they are consequently confined to
the strict letter of the constitution,

Abundant growth of ragweed is
responsible for hundreds of cases of
hayfever which have developed in the
last few days, according to Mankato
physicians. A campaign to destroy
the weed in the early stages of its
growth has been started in many Sec
tons with the hope of lessening the
number of victims this year. Doc.
tors say the weather has been ideal
for the growth of the weed, and that
in every nook and corner it can be
found in large patches.
Hayfever victims of former years
are particularly active in the cam
paign against the weed and are doing
all in their power to destroy it.
Down with the rag weed" has be.
come a slogan of many who are sus.
ceptible to the disease and many
new recruits are being added to the
ranks of the weeds enemy daily.

Exemption From
Taxation.

| and can neither be enlarged or ex-
tended by legislative enactment.
Notwithstanding these restrictions
the legislature has from time to
time enacted laws exempting from
taxation other classes of property
not embraced in the constitutional
provision. 1t has, for instance, at
tempted to exempt the property of
incorporated district and county
agricultural societies, and the build
ings and other property owned and
used exclusively by beneficiary as
sociations and fraternal beneficiary
associations, as well as an additional
personal property exemption of 500
for each member of the national
guard.
These laws are clearly unconstitu-
tional and fail to accomplish the
purpose for which they are enacted.
AS already stated, the legislature
has no authority, either directly or
indirectly, to exempt property or
persons from taxation except as
authorized by the constitution, and
as these exemptions are not auth
orized by the constitution, it is held
by the legal department of the state
that a legislative enactment attempt
ing to do so is null and void.
The constitutional provision relat-
ing to personal property exemption
leaves it optional with the legisla-
ture to decide whether there shall
or shall not be any such exemption,
and if any, the amount thereof, moi
exceeding $500. The legislature
may also determine whether the ex-
emption shall apply to each house
hold, individual or head of a family.
The present exemption of 500 ap-
plies to each individual subject to
a personal property assessment.
There is considerable abuse of
the personal property exemption in
some districts of the state. Not a
few people attempt to list their per-
sonal property in the name of sew
eral members of the family. In
some cases called to the attention
OF the tax commission personal
property was divided among as
many as six members of a family
when the actual and bona fde own
er was the head of the family.
This practice is a serious viola
ton of law and is punishable by
fine or Imprisonment. Section 5033,
Revised Laws of 1905, provides that
every person who, in making any
statement, oral or written, which is
required or authorized by law to
be made as a basis of imposing or
reducing n tax or assessment,
who shall wilfully make any state
ment as to any material matter
which he knows to be false, shall
be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

ceased when at the demand of the

seat in a box near the stage and
waved a bandana handkerchief at her
husband. He answered her salute.

Beverage used but a few words:

then began delivering a twenty-five

ton OF cotton, thereby financially
running the South, but 1t is the farmer
who is making Is to 25 bales to the
plow. Let us have another such cot
ton crop as last year and 1t is not
impossible, because last year there
was much cotton planted over and
that never came up until the last Of
June or first Of July. that made good
cotton. SO It will have to rain much
longer to keep Us from making good
crop with good conditions. Later on
then you will hear the cry Of hard
times. OF course this plan could not
be carried out this year. but could an
other year.
Mr.. Editor, want to give you my
idea Of one Of the causes OF the big
cotton crop Of 1911, although It seems
unreasonable, but If you will think
and reason a little you might agree
with me. It is this corn club busi-
ness. The farmers are advancing in
the methods of farming. They have
been buying much fertilizers at very
high price and that too great deal
of 1t on time, for both corn and cot
ton, the cotton to pay for it all in
the fall. They have increased the pro-
duction of corn from to IL bushels
per acre to from 40 to 100, at cost
of from $25 to $50 per acre. and that
is not half told, for while they plant
ed seven to twelve acres to the mule,
they are planting only two to three,
and are making as much on that
small amount as they formerly did on
their seven to twelve acres, and plant
ing the balance of their land in cot
ton. There Is where the trouble
comes in.
