Garden Prizes.

Many of the gardens and ranches
in this valley are producing fruit,
nuts, vegetables, etc, in such variety
that the family table can be supplied
almost entirely with food of home
production.
With desire to stimulate interest
in the cultivation of the home gar
den, the Tidings will give to sub
scribers two prizes of one dollar each
for the best meal served from ma
terial of their own production.
One prize will be for a purely veg
etarian dinner, using no meat. How
ever, milk and eggs can be included
in this meal, if desired.
The other prize will be for a regu-
lar meal, including meat, and any
thing home grown.
This prize will apply during the
month of July, so all will have an
opportunity from now on to do their
best along the line of garden cultiva-
tion.
We will leave the verdict as to the
quality of the meal to yourself and
friends, only send us the menu as
served.
Anyone desiring to enter this con-
test please send us your name on a
postcard.
In case other foods than your own
growing are used, it should be so
stated
Here is an opportunity for in
genuity in substituting homegrown
for outside material.

that such one. despite his struggles
and desire to remain In the light. would
by Divine providence be forced into
the darkness common to the whole
world and lose those special privileges
which he had enjoyed as one Of the
children Of the light and heirs OF glory.

of the present Order. Thank God. their
weeping and gnashing of teeth may
ultimately be turned into joy. because
there is a silver lining to the dark
cloud which is about to envelop the

GRIZZLY NAUGHTY DANCE

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 13.-That
the Grizzly Bear" dance consti-
tutes disorderly conduct, was the
decision of Judge Smith in the case
of Miss Ida Johnson and Miss Mil
dred Swanson, and the girls were
released on probation to appear in
court today.
1t was charged that the young
women had performed the dance in
a local hall, and they were arrested
by Miss Emile Glorioux, police
woman engaged by the city to look
after the morals of dance halls. pic
ture houses and similar places of
popular amusement.
The officer testified that in her
opinion the dance was very obJec-
tionable, and Detective Gleason. who
had seen the dance in burlesque
houses, also offered the opinion that
the contortions were suggestive.
His honor was given a demonstration
of the movement by reporter and
an attorney, and agreed that it was
no sort of dance for girls to per-
form in public dance halls.

as classes.
Again, the public schools absorb
very large part of the public
revenues; in many communities, in
deed, not far from half the money
raised by taxation. In the previous
investigation the tax levy for school
purposes was shown by counties,
but actual school receipts and ex-
penditures were given only in the
large cities. This omission, as ex-
planned in the report of the COM
mission of 1910, was due to the
fact that the school district fire.
quently does not coincide in bound
aries with the municipality, and
usually has a separate board of
receipts and expenditures for all
purposes, including the schools
Moreover, owing to the difference in
boundaries, it is exceedingly diff
ficult and sometimes impossible to
combine separate statements for the
city and the schools so as to give
correct and consistent total. Never
theless, in the present investiga-
ton schedules calling for actual
receipts and payments have been
sent to the clerks of all school dis
tricts which include municipalities
of 1000 or more population, and
the attempt will be made to con-
solidate 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.
subsequent article will discuss
the necessity of making certain dis
tinctions which are not commonly
observed in municipal accounts, such
as that between general and COM
mercial revenues, and between cur
rent expense and permanent inn
provements, in order to find out
what is actually the cost of govern
ment in Minnesota.

Taxation In
Minnesota

i The cost of government is meas
ured by the taxes actually collected
rather than by the amount levied.
In Minnesota there is consider
able variation, from county to
county, in the per cent of taxes col
lected; and the larger the proper
ton of uncollected taxes is,
the higher the rate of taxation must
be made in order to produce the
necessary revenue. The effect of
unsolicited taxes is thus to create
gap between the amount of taxes
levied and the amount collected;
and the wider this gap becomes,
the less reliance can be placed on
the tax levy as test of the real
cost of government.
The previous investigation, given
in the report of the tax commission
for 1910, was pioneer work in Min
nesota 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 auditory to show the
amount raised by taxation for the
county and the minor subdivisions

of 5000 or more popu-
lation were asked to report actual
receipts of taxes and actual expendi-
lures, the others being requested
TO report merely receipts from Ii
censes, fees, fines and sales.
- Il
In the present investigation, for
the reasons stated above, it has
seemed desirable to ask county au-
ditors and the accounting Officers of
all cities and villages in Minnesota
to report the actual receipts from
taxation, as well as from other
sources; and likewise the actual
payments for all purposes. Since
all taxes for minor subdivisions of
the county are handled through the
county treasury, these statements
from the county auditors will show
the actual receipts from taxation by
