TAXATION 4 IN MINI NESOTA
SIXTEENTH ARTICLE BY TAX
COMMISSION WHY TAXES p,
F~' y. ARE NECESSARY. $. l.;

Organized society, usually called &uRs-
ernment, has many objects besidse
securing to people the Fright to lika,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness. -
To attain these ends it frames policies
promotive Of the general welfare and
it devises ways and means to defr11
the cost of: carrying out it's policies.
The later is the age-long problem df
taxation. .>.@ss.
| It is general policy of governuea6
to do these things for all which no oAD
could do as well or at as low cost far
l0neself. - For instance it establishes
(public schools under that policy. 10
secure to all the fright to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness'' it muaf
preserve order, insure enjoyment &f
those rights, protect individuals ana
property. To do this it has to establishl
and maintain courts and their staf4s
of officials. To give effect to these ana
the many other functions of govern
ment, public buildings must be erected
and maintained, land and materiA
bought and large number Of persons
employed, all Of which must be paid
for. ~ ~:
Organized society has no other way
to obtain the money with which -
defray these costs than by compelling
those who get the benefits to Coz
tribute the money. It cannot "mAke
money! It can borrow it, but that
merely defers to future time the can
upon the citizen. Without money to
carry on it's activities government
could not exist and society would 10
lapse into the barbarism from which IL
organizing redeemed it. This is the in
escapable condition that makes taxa
tiOn necessary.
Out of the experiments Of govern
ments in the past, modern govern
ment have come to derive revenus
mainly by two methods, one the direct
the other the, indirect method Of taE-
ing. The direct tax is based upon Adam
Smith 8 third principle that "every-
one should contribute to the general
expense in proportion to his ability 10
ipay' In theory, although not always
true in practice, ability to pay is meas
ured by the amount and value Of prop
erty owned by an individual and Is
known with us as the general property
tax. The indirect method levies tax
on commodity or service. Except
where limit is put upon what price may
be charged for commodity or servicet
those owning the one or rendering tho
other may add the tax to cost and,
merged in price, pass it on to bs
paid by the consumer or the served. oG
this form Of taxation our gross earn
|ings4 tax and the license paid by liquor
dealers are illustrations. "
The direct tax is intended to rest
where paid and not be shiftedS on to
others, and largely, this is true. It
cannot be shifted where the person pay:
ing it cannot make the price Of what
he sells. It can be where that power ex-
lists, as with landlords, for instance,
who may merge taxes in rentals, or
money lenders who may make borrowers
pay the tax levied on credit instru-
ments. But whichever method is adopted
payment of tax is essential to main-
tenance Of government.

CONFEssES MURDER

CONFESSES MURDER -,
schnider confessed the murder Of
Mrs. Page to Sheriff Armstrong
Thursday morning while eating
breakfast. F~> -. -:
TO the sheriff's questions he an
sWered that he had killed the wo-
man for money, Billy Tolles having
told him that she had 4 good deal.
That as she came along the road he
grabbed her around tho shoulder
with his right. arm and cut her
throat with tho other hand. He
then threw the Kn1fe about ten
PAGES away. On searching her
clothes, however, he found no
money. He also inferred that the
ravishing Of the body was an after
thought, robbery being his inten-
ton. :.-.
He has been in this country
twenty seven months and talks but
little English
Later the same morning he an
swered a questioner while Herald
man was present that he was in Jail
for killing a woman, and said that
he had been told Mrs. Page had
$500 on her person. It would seem
that the prisoner believed that the
murder would have been justi6able
if he had procured the money he
thought she had on her person, and
rather blamed the one who told
him the murdered woman carried
money.
It is quite evident that Schnider
IS a degenerate, and hardly realizes
the enormity Of his crime.
At the present time he is willing
to plead guilty, and special grand
jury may be impanelled to hurry
the case through. III.
There is some talk Of drastic ac-
tion on the part Of the populace
but is not likely that the county
will be brought into further dis
repute by these kind Of 1naneuvers.

TFDDY'S DELEGATION
FOLLOWERS WIN 4 THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTY AND INSTRUCT
DELEGATION FOE HIM

The republican county convention
held Monday instructed its delegates
to Brainerd and Minneapolis to vote
for delegates to the national 1epubli-
can convention at Chicago who favor
Theodore Roosevelt for president.
This proceeding was, evident after
the outcome of the caucuses of Satur-
day evening, the Roosevelt ticket win
ming in every ward in the city, quite q
fight being made in the First and
Fourth wards, where the Roosevelt
ticket won out II to SO; and 46 to 33,
respectively. In the country the con.
test was not as lively, many precincts
not being represented. ". .:.- e...4:.
A. II. Vernon was made temporary
chairman and Dana Brown temporary
secretary, the organization afterward
being made permanent. ,,,..s
A credential committee of Chas.
Sylvester, VIM. Tourtillotte and Robert
Tedford were appointed by the chair,
as well as committee Of DIR. N. w.
Chance, J. II. Russell and August Berg

attend the district convention at Brain

present were accepted as accredited
delegates.
The delegates selected are, to Brain.

maker.
A committee of F. W. Lyon, Carl
Bolander and Luther Snow presented
resolutions which embodied laudation
of LaFollette, Roosevelt and Lind
bergh and affirmed the party's al
legiance to the principles Of the re-
publican party, and instructed the
delegates for Roosevelt. There was no
mention of President Taft.
Mr.. Lyon, after presenting the
resolutions, spoke briefly on the COM
ing convention that is to nominate a
governor, and said that delegates should
be selected who favor Congressman
Lindbergh. The suggestion was the
only thing that happened during the
convention that brought out any ap.
plause. :
Something out Of the ordinary hap
pened when J. j. Jacobson Of Elm
dale rose and presented motion to
the effect that it was the sense Of those
his delegation represented that "the
de3egates to Brainerd and Minneapolis
do all in their power to prevent the
nomination of President Taft.'' The
motion which received many seconds
was put and carried with but one dis
senting voice. that Of J. J. McRae of
although there were a num-
ber of other Taft adherents among the
delegates.
While the convention run smoothly,
the principles of the party referred to
in the resolutions, will get an awful
jolt from those who now oppose one or
the other of the candidates in case Of
either's nomination. Although none
were at the convention as LaFol1ette
delegates, it was apparent that he
would have had plenty strength, if
it was thought he had chance for
the nomination.

The most revolving crime that has
been committed in the county for years,
although the Martin case of the two
other murders that have taken place
during the past year, was most
atrocious one, was unearthed Monday
noon, when F. J. Page Of Section 2,
Rail Prairie town, aged II years, came
upon the exposed body of his wife,
Nettie Page, aged So years, along the
roadside 10 rods from her home, lying
cold in death with three-inch cash
cut across the left side Of her throat
which severed the jugular vein and
carotid arteries an inch below the
angle Of the jaw, and giving every
evidence Of having been the victim Of
depraved criminal, who after having
taken her life ravished her body. :
The foul deed is thought to have
been committed between 4 and 1880
O. clock Sunday afternoon, as Mrs:
Page had last been seen alive by Mrs.
VIM. Jones, who walked home with her
from Sunday school that afternoon at
about o'clock, taking her as far as
the crossroads, short distance from

Anton Schnider, aliases John Schiter
and John Kropel, Slovenian who has
admitted that he was Jail bird and
was wanted in Chicago for some crime
he committed, and who Was seen in that
neighborhood between 3 and 4 O'Clock
that afternoon by Mr.. and Mrs. Luther
Snow, was suspected of the crime
and was placed under arrest at Crosby.
Tuesday afternoon and brought back
to this city early Wednesday morning.
He is a strong, muscular, raw-boned
type Of man, aged about 81 years and
weighs about 1S0 pounds, of a very
vicious disposition with inclination to
grab a weapon Of some kind to attack
his adversary when angered. He drift
ed into Rail Prairie on September 81
last and since thsk time, with the ex-
ception of couple times when he went
away for a short time, had been work
ing in that neighborhood. It is stated
that he chased VIM. Tolles with pitch,
fork on one occasion, and others Of his
acts as regards morality showed him to
be depraved. During the past couple
weeks, previous to Sunday, he had been.
engaged in the construction work on q
bridge across the Grow Wing river:
near Pillager. ...5 ::
As had been her custom the murder.
ed woman had gone to Sunday, school
and on her return met Gilbert Hansen,
who gave her a. bunch of rhubarb,
which she carried under her left arm:
In her right hand she carried a parasol.
Shortly after Mrs. Page left: Mrs.
Jones at the crOss-road. the latter
heard scream and started in the di-
rection from whence it came, but on
hearing another scream which to her
sounded like the squeal of a pig, she
turned and continued on her way home.
It is presumed that the scream was
that Of the murdered woman when at
tackled and that the monster who COM
mitted the deed used his jack knife to
cut her throat. The body was left ex-
posed, the earth absorbing the blood
