! NORTH STAR COLLEGE NOTES !
X (From the Quartet.) =

y
Warren, Mimi, June The North
Star College Quartette is now in
home territory. We travelled as far
north as we could without passing the
limits of U. S. We were in Warroad
and looked across the Lake of the
Woods into Canada. We even attend
ed Ladies Aid while there and en-
joyed the "Kaffe och dopp with the
ladies. Our only regret over our visit
to that region is that we failed to get
a boat-ride on the big lake and to try
our luck at fishing sturgeon. But fish
we saw in plenty, for three or four
carloads are shipped from Warroad
every day.
Coming back from the north we
stopped at Greenbush. There we saw
one of the big dredges walking
across the swamps. Near Thief Riv-
er Falls we had the first opportunity
on the tour to try our strength by
showing the auto out of the mud. We
wished then that the machine had
been named "autogo" instead of "au-
tomobile''
Because of the sticky quality of the
famous Red River gumbo, we failed to
arrive at our concert destination, Kla-
ra church. On Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday we averaged over 43. miles a
day by auto. From such means of
locomotion we have seen the country
from Thief River Falls to Crookston
and from Warren to Viking, and to
Stephen. Pushing automobiles we
have tried and patching punctured
tires also. The remedy applied for
such punctured feeling did not al
ways avail and we rode on the rim as
consequence. Even this was en-
joyed if we forget about it. But the
chauffeur could not forget it and had
to suffer for all of us.
The greater part of the last week of
our tour will be spent around the Al
varado vicinity, singing in Adams on
Friday, in Oslo on Saturday and in
Elm and Bloomwood on Sunday On
Monday we sing at the Vega church in
the afternoon and at Warren in the
evening. At Warren we sing in the
Sw. Luth. church. We hope to see a
large number of our friends that eve
ming A short account of the trip
will be given on the programs for the
evening We propose to sing our last
concert in Fergus Falls on the 25th.

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

taxation by all townships, taken to-
5gether; also the tax receipts of cities
and villages, and of all school, dis
tricts, as classes.
Again, the public schools absorb
very large part Of the public reve-
nues; in many communities, indeed,
not far from half the money raised by
taxation. In the previous investiga-
ton the tax levy for school purposes
was shown by counties, but actual
school receipts and expenditures
We're given only in the large cities
This omission, as explained in the re-
port of the Commission for 1910, was
due to the fact that the school dis
trict frequently does not coincide in
boundaries with the municipality, and
usually has separate Board of Edu-
cation, so that no one is able to fur
nish consolidated statement Of re-
ceipts and expenditures for all pur-
poses, including the schools. y More
over, owing to the difference in boun-
DIARIES, it is exceedingly difficult and
sometimes impossible to combine Sc
parate statements for the city and
the schools so as to give a correct
and consistent total Nevertheless,
in the present investigation schedules
calling for actual receipts and pay
ments have been sent to the clerks
of all school districts which include
municipalities of 1000 or more popu-
lation, and the attempt will be made
to consolidate the school and the city
or village statements so as to show
the real total cost of government in
as many communities of various sizes
as possible.
A subsequent article, will discuss
the necessity of making certain dis
tinctions which are not commonly oh.

as that between general and CONNER.

Article-The Cost Of Gov
eminent in Minnesota, No. 2

The cost Of government is measured
by the taxes actually collected rather
than by the amount levied.
In Minnesota there is considerable
variation, from county to county. in
the percent of taxes collected and
the larger the proportion of uncollect-
ed taxes is, the higher the rate of
taxation must be made in order to
produce the necessary revenue. The
effect of uncollected taxes is thus to
create a gap between the amount of
taxes levied and the amount collect
ed; and the wider hits gap becomes,
the less reliance can be placed on the
tax levy as a test of the real cost of
government.
The previous investigation, given in
the report of the Tax Commission for
1910, was pioneer work in Minnesota
and conducted under many difficulties.
Reliance was therefore placed on the
tax levy Gas reported in the abstract
of tax lists filed with the state audi
tori to show the amount raised by
taxation for the county and the minor
subdivisions of the county, as classes;
and only municipalities of 5000 or
more population were asked to report
actual receipts of taxes and actual ex.
penditures, the others being request
ed to report merely receipts from IL
censes, fees, fines and sales.
In the present investigation, for the
reasons above stated, it has seemed
desirable to ask county auditors and
the accounting officers of all cities
and villages in Minnesota to report
the actual receipts from taxation, as
we'll as from other sources; and like
wise the actual payments for all pur-
poses. Since all taxes for minor SUBJ
divisions Of the county are handled
through the county treasury, these
statements from the county auditors
will show the actual receipts from
