TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
A Series Prepared by Minnesota
Tax Commission.
PRELIMINARY.

It is the purpose to present to the
readers of this Newspaper. in series
of articles, concise and accurate
statement of the revenues raised for
the state and its subdivisions, the
methods of determining how much
revenue shall be raised. the purpose
to which it is put and the several
consecutive steps in arriving at what
shall be each property owners share
of the general burden. The expert
ence of the commission in the four
years of its work has convinced it that
there is a general lack of information
on all these points, especially that
relating to the assessment of real and
personal property. Nor is this sur
prising when one reflects that the
laws relating to these matters are
buried in the statute books, consulted
only by those charged with their ad-
ministration while the mass, to whom
the statutes are not accessible, re-
main in ignorance of their provisions.
Generally men know little more of
the details of taxing than that an as.
SCISSOR visits them once a year and
asks searching questions relative to
their property, and that, once or twice
q year, they go to the county treasur.
ers TO pay the tax levied on theil
property. Ut is to give publicity t.
these matters that these articles are
directed.
They will be made as brief as il
consistent with clearness and will
their relative importance in the sys
TEN. They will be carefully pre-
pared to insure accuracy and be put il
simple language. The commission
hopes and expects that they will
create discussion by both the edito
and the readers of this newspaper
and it solieits their opinions both o.
the articles and the taxing system
1t is only by such means that reform
are ever accomplished.
The commission takes this op
portunity to express its appreciation

Give the Boy a Chance.

This year the State is offering 5000
in r .zes for the boys who can grow
the most corn on one acre of land. In
addition to the cash prizes, the Mime
apolis Tribune has offered a scholar
ship for one year at the School of
Agriculture at st. Anthony Park, as
a sweepstakes prize for the champion
corn grower of the State.
This contest will mean a great deal
to the boys, and to Agriculture in the
State. 1t will stimulate an interest
in cornagrowing, and in better crops,
which can be aroused in no other
way. Every boy who follows the
rules of the Contest, and carries it
through to completion, will be strong
er for having done so. The boy who
establise es yield record for his coun-
ty adds to the value of land in his lo-
cality. 1t shows what the soil can be
made to produce by the practice of
good methods.
Every farmer who has a boy be.
tween the ages of 10 and 18 years can
afford to give him an acre of ground
for this contest. Every father should
not only give his boy the use of the
land, but he should encourage him to
enter the contest, furnish him with
seed, advise him in his selection, and
in the method of preparing the land
and cultivating the crop. Give the
boy chance to see what he can do.
If he wins prize for production, OF
gets his name on the State Honor Roll
for,f 70 production, he has accom-.
plishxa something worth while, anC
deserves great credit.
The rules for this Contest viii be
issued soon. The Extension Divis ioI
is anxious to reach as many boys al
possible by means of this contest
Everyone interested in the develop
ment of the boy should cooperate
with the Extension Division by boost
! ing for this contest. %. M. Olson

Death of Julia Byrne.

Miss Julia Catherine Byrne died on
Sunday, Jan. 28th after having been
confined to her bed for several weeks
and in poor health for the past year.
Her death was not unexpected, but
this fact hardly lessons the grief which
her family and friends feel at the de-
parting of one whom all so highly
esteemed. Miss Byrne was the daugh-
ter of John Byrne of this city and
the step daughter of Mrs. John Byrne.
She was ~ years of age and spent
her life here in Morris and at the
former family home in Swift county.
She was born at Litchfeld, ILL.,, on
Nov. &c, 1884, where she lived until
the death of her mother, which oc-
Cured on Feb. II, 1889. She then
made her home with her grandparents
in Swift county until 1895: Since
1899 her home has been here in Nor
ris.
Those who attended the funeral
from abroad were John and Margaret
Bryne, John and Ed. Ferry and Agnes
Laughlin. from DeGraff. besides many
friends and relatives from Clontarf
and the northern part of Swift county.
The honorary pail bearers were
Miss Agnes Keeshan. Miss Bertha
Wunsch. Miss Ode'ia LNef1er, Miss
Margaret Byrne, Miss Louise Newell
and Miss Annie Murphy. The acting
pail bearers were Henry Gaffney,
James Lawler. Chris. Gaffney. Stanley
Ryan, Maurice Calvin and Ed. Cair-
ney.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
and was attended by many friends
who desired to express their sympathy
for the family and their esteem fol
the deceased. The services were held
by Rev. Gruenwald- at Assumption
church,

CONFERENCE INVITED.
Local Methodist Church Wants
Meeting Here.

There is a strong probability that
the next meeting of the Northern
Minnesota Conference of the Metho-
dist church will be held here next
October.
The official board of the local Meth
odist church met at the church on
Tuesday evening, and after having
canvassed the situation decided to ex-
tend an invitation to the conference to
meet here.
The matter Of a meeting place for
the Methodist conference is usually
decided at the time of the preceding
conference, but this year the confer
ence received no invitation fer next
years meeting. and the matter is
now in the hands of the presiding
elders, and it is expected that the in
vitation from the local church will
receive favorable consideration.
Of all conventions, conference of
the Methodist church is one to be most
desired by any town on account of the
large number of high grade men which
it brings to a town, and the further
fact that they remain for week.
Every Methodist minister in the
Northern Minnesota conference, which
includes all the northern half of the
state, will be here, besides a large
number of lay delegates. The hos
pitaIity of the town would thus be
| taxed TO the utmost, and many pri-
vate homes would be opened to enter
tain the guests. The conference brings
together not only lot of the best mer
within the territory of the conference,
but further attracts men of nationa
reputati on for notable addresses. A
city is benefited in material way by
such gathering OF men who are
leaders in their home community and
knowledge of it's advantages thus
carried to every part of a large terri
tory. but furthermore the moral tone
of community is sure to be streng
thened by such a gathering.

Herman Defeats Aggies.

The basket ball team of the Agri.
cultural school played at Herman last
Saturday and were defeated by the
fast team of the High school by a
score of 49 to II.
The lineup for the two teams was
as follows: Aggies. Holloway Far
well and O'Patim, Ranum and John
son, Forney, Mecklenburg. Herman
High school, Smith, Cater, Andrews.
johnson, Westine. The referees were
Eaton. of Herman, and Prof. Ray
mond, of the Agricultural school.
The game was clean and interesting
thruout. each team taking their fouls
as tho they deserved them. With
each score made by Herman the Ag-
gies seemed more determined than
ever to win.
The score would Indicate that the
Aggies were out classed by the fast
Herman team but such is not the case.
The high score which Herman ran up
was due to the fact that the Aggies
were not used to playing on slippery
floor and the game was play ed in the
Woodman hall on a smooth waxed
floor. The Herman team prepared
for this by wearing suction shoes.
Then too, Caters left handed throws
for baskets and Smiths fast playing,
seemed to puzzle the Aggies.
1t is hoped that a return game will
be played here soon.
