TWELFTH ARTICLE - Taxation Of
Money and Credits

Money and credits have always been
subject to taxation in Minnesota. Prior
to 1911 the state attempted to tax
such property on the same basis and
at the same rate as other classes Of
personal property, but never succeed
ed in getting even reasonable per-
centage of it on the tax rolls.
The nature of the property is such
that it can be easily concealed. In
1910 the total Of this class of property
listed for taxation was less than four
teen million dollars, an amount con-
servatively estimated to be less than
three per cent of the actual value OF
such property owned in the state.
Realizing the impossibility of get,
ting such property on the tax rolls I'M
der the existing laws, the legislature
in 1911 passed law imposing flat
rate of three mills on the dollar, or
thirty cents on each hundred dollars
of valuation, such tax to be in lieu Of
all other taxes on this class of proper
ty.
The new law, known as Chapter
285, Laws of 1911, provides that such
property shall be listed and valued or
a separate listing blank and shall in
clude money and credits as defined
In the Revised Laws of 1905.
Money means all money owned by
a person whether in hand or on de
post in bank in this or some othe1
state.
"Credits" include all book accounts
bills receivable, mortgages and lant
contracts not recorded in this state
promissory notes, bonds, rents, annu
tiles, and all other claims or demands
for money or other valuable thing.
The assessment is to be made at tn
fair cash value Of the property, AM
not at a percentage of such value
Debts cannot be deducted from cred
its.
The law requires each persons SUI
ject to the tax to make a sworn re
turn of his money and credits on tn
listing blank furnished him by tn
assessor. Such return must be mad
on or before June 1. ..
The assessor is required to accep
the items of such list as true, unles
the person making the return refuse
to answer on oath all reasonable an
necessary inquiries as to the natur
and amount of his property taxabl
under this law. The assessor may
however, place his own valuation O.
the property so listed when in hi
Judgment the valuation returned b
the owner is not the true and full va
ue Of the property.
If any person subject to the ia
refuses or neglects to make retur

Well of course it doesn't matter
But do you think while eating beef
That three-fourths Of it is water
That is surely beyond belief.
Think Of this while you are eating
Beef steak when it's dry and tough,
You'll forget about it's dryness,
Then you'll never get enough.

We should know what we are eating,
And so the composition OF meats
Is one subject we've been treating.
When you have beefsteak for dinner
Pound it good before you fry,
That will make it juicy and tender

To Public School Patrons

The Pocahontas Public School
will open Monday Sept. 30. 1t is
earnestly hoped that all who expect
to attend will be present the first
day for enrolment and classihca'
ton. Pupils who miss the first
two days will be place | at dlsad'
vantage themselves and will hinder
the work of the school.
All beginners-those who are
now years of age or who will be
8 before Feb. /, l9l3-must enroll
the first week or wait until the
second term. This is a necessary
requirement and parents are urged
to remember it.
Pupils from all grades are asked
to bring their report cards or pro-
motion certificates. Last years
work will be the basis of classiiica-
ton and failure to bring cards will
delay the work Of classifying.
All pupils will assemble in the
same room and grade as last year
and the work of re-classifying will
be done from there-that Is if you
were in 4th grade last year you will
meet with that class this year.
Then If your card and the records
show that you were promoted you
will then be sent to the 5th grade.
Pupils are asked not to buy any
new books until they have been re-
classified and given a list of books
needed for this year.

Quoted at the school building at
