The recent legislature amended
the statutes providing for the garn-
isheeing of wage accounts, and as
the, change in the law has. become
known there has been stirred up
considerable activity among collec-
tors and owners of old accounts.
| Under the former law, $25, was
exempt from garnishee out of any
wage account due. Thus a man
might be getting 500 a month,
but if he was paid weekly in in
stallments of SIS his wages could
not be garnisheed. Il
Under the new law the exemption
is increased to $35, but with this
important change, that the. exemption
is out of the total amount due for
thirty days-no matter whether.wages
are paid weekly or monthly. Thus
the wage account can be garnisheed
for the month. and a man. earning
more than ts35. month can be
garnisheed for the amount over and
above s35 which he has due him for
wages.

From. fridays Daily.
By 1920 it is believed by state Of
ficials that the necessity of a tax
levy for state purposes will have
passed. With an increase in the
railroad gross earnings tax from
to per cent and with the additional
income from other sources, it is be.
l1eved Minnesota in a few years will
be a thoroughly self-made and self
supporting, community.
The levy for state purposes for
some years has averaged about 2
mills, but the amount obtained through
this source is small compared to the
total amount raised. Recently treas
urer Smith showed that of the &c.
100000 and odd dollars received by
the state during the last fiscal year,
but $2,5O0,000 came from the general
levy.
Sum Derived From Corporations.
The remainder was derived from
such sources as railroads, telephone
companies, prison Irvine plant and
other industries. maintained by the
state. The gross earnings tax this
year under 5 per cent law will be
considerably more than $5,000,000.
From telephone companies about
100000 is procured, and other pub
lie service corporations and carriers
contribute million more. With
the rapid gain being made by rail-
roads in Minnesota territory in re-
gard to earnings it is expected that
by 1915 the gross earnings tax will
touch the 100000 mark. Should
the, legislature keep state expenses
in reasonable bounds, it will not be
long until the necessity for levy
will have been wiped out.
