Bio Yield Of SUGAR Beets.

A yield of sugar beets is reported
from Renville that surpasses in size
anything heretofore reported. It is
said that on the farm of DAILY E. Bar
nard the average yield per acre was
81 tons and pounds. These were
sold: at $500 per ton making some.
thing over $105.00 per. acre. The
cost of raising the beets was about
$500 per acre, leaving net income
of $780,: The owners of the farm
attribute the rich yield to the. fact
principally that the ground was
plowed about Il inches deep in pre-:
pairing it. The beet crop on other
farms near Renville is not as good
as it was last year-Olivia Times.

THE STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUE
FOR 1914.


The state tax rate for 1914 will be
sos mills.
This is the highest state tax rate
since 1865. In forty-eight years it
has not been exceeded or equalled;
and it has been equalled or exceeded
in but one year in the history of the
state. In 1865, when the state was
poor, when it's area was but scantily
settled and when valuations were low
and the states needs great, there was
state tax rate Of six mills.
The next year it was five mills, and
in 1874, the state having settled rap
idly in the meantime, the rate drop
ped to 2.33 mills.
THE AVERAGE STATE TAX
RATE FOR THE THIRTY-SEVEN
YEARS ENDING WITH 1910 WAS
BUT 1873 MILLS.
Since 1910 the rate has gone from
LAT mills to the 1914 rate of SOB
mills.
THE STATE TAX RATE HAS
BEEN MULTIPLIED THREE AND A
HALF TIMES IN FOUR YEARS.
This year the rate was 1858 mills,
and the increase in next years rate
over this years will be FORTY PER
CENT.
The appalling increase in the state
tax rate has come in spite of the fact
that railroads which used to pay less
than a million dollars year through
their gross earnings taxes are now
paying close to five millions year.
It has come in spite Of the fact that
indirect taxes of many kinds have
been created and multiplied.
It has come in spite of the fact that
the iron mines, which were paying
the state in taxes less than twenty
thousand dollars yearly a dozen years
ago, will next year pay the state in
taxes more than million and a
quarter!
The greater the states revenues
from new sources, the higher
climbs the rate on which the farmer
and merchant, the laborer and bank
er, must pay taxes.
The Herald said, shortly after the
legislature adjourned, that the legis
lative issue for 1914 should be ECON
OMY AND EFFICIENCY.
Can there be any doubt, In the face
of these figures, that this is the issue
on which the legislature of 1915 mus
be Observation-Disclosures from the Du
