TAX INCREASED
Assessed Value on Mines In.
creased by Tax Commission.

Mining interests Of st. Louis
county have been hit by the state
tax commission by an increase of
about Is per cent over the as
sessed valuation returned by The
assessors. This means an in
crease of $4,000 ON the returns
in the hands of the county audi
tor.
Reports of changes made by
the state tax commission are ex-
ceived by the county auditor yes
terday and the budget and levy
for 1918 will be made by the
county commissioners at their
meeting in Duluth today.
Reports of changes made by
the state tav commission are ex-
pected at the office Of County
Auditor Odin Halden today.
When received the budget and
levy for 1918 can be made by tie
county commissioners at their
meeting Friday.
There is much conjecture as to
the increase in the tax levy for
Duluth and st. Louis county
commissioners complete their
work.
The County levy will be hit
hardest by roads, though the
road budget is a necessary fea-
ture. 1t has been estimated that
the levy for the county would be
1.50 mills increase over that Of
last year. From present indica-
tions it will even 60 over this
amount.
Based on the figures submitted
with those estimated for county
necessities at 1.5O mills there will
be practically a levy of $6.6a
added to the taxes on every
81 900 valuation.
There is a possibility OF a
change in these figures when the
board Of county commissioners
meets today since the figures on
the county at 1.5O mills are moi
accurate and are an estimate.
That it will go over this
amount is general belief in
which event tax payers of Duluth
may feel prepared to have taxes
of upwards to $40 added to
every 81, 900 valuation. 1t all de-
ponds on what the commissioners
levy for roads and the new
county Jail, as to just what the
increase will be

should issue a notice at once to
each chapter denying this as
vigorously as you know how. No
articles whatever, either knitted
or otherwise, made by Red Cross
workers and turned into any Red
Cross chapter, branch or auxil-
larry, or to any supply warehouse,
are sold either to the soldiers or
in shops. If any willful case of
this sort should come to the at
tention Of Headquarters the char
ter Of the Red Cross chapter or
subsidiary sanctioning it would
be Immediately withdrawn with
full publicity. Should it trans
pire that an actual instance of
the above character occurred
wherein an individual sold ar
ticles after their having been
turned in to the Red Cross, such
action would be clearly in viola
ton of the fundamental law of
the Red Cross and we would take
vigorous steps to prosecute the
offender. 1t is also true that per-
sons, other than those who ac-
quired the right prior to nineteen
hundred and five, using the name
or emblem of the Red Cross to as
sist in the sale of merchandise
are violating the provisions of
the Federal Criminal Law and the
offender should be reported to
the United States District Attor-
ney for prosecution. There is no
way to prevent people from max
ing the same type of article as
are produced by Red Cross work
ers and selling them for their own

Red Cross to unjust criticism.
Should they use the name or en-
blem Of the Red Cross in connec-
ton with such sales, however,
they, will be vigorously prose-
cuted. T"
H. d. GIBSON, General Manager.
There have been many variants
Of these stories and each one has
been thoroughly investigated
with the result that in no case has
it been found that there is the
least atom of truth in them. The
name and emblem of the Red
Cross is fully protected under the
law and in case Of it's illegal use,
the matter should be reported at
once. Prosecution and punish

ROAD BUILDERS
Government Is Asking Men to
Enlist In this Branch Of
the Service.

The National Army needs road
builders now. No pick and shovel
men are wanted in this regiment
as it is proposed to utilize German
prisoners and service battalions for
the rough work. This regiment is
known as the Twenty Third En-
gineers and 0,500 volunteers are
now being formed for immediate
service in the war zone in France.
Recruits must be experienced in
some line of road construction or
mechanics skilled in operating
road building plant. A limited
clerical staff is also needed. 1t is
expected that every contractor can
contribute few men without dis
rupting his organization, For men
under forty years of age with prop
er road building experience, the
prospect for promotion to non
commissioned and special ranks is
excellent. Practically all construc-
ton men who have the ability will
be assigned, not as laborers, but as
bosses of gangs, which will include
German prisoners.
Even if within the draft age
limits you can volunteer for the
highway regiment if you have not
already been called in the draft or
exempted, and must be in good
physical condition.

GET BUSY

BUY Bonds and Back our Boys"
is the call that is being answered
today from everywhere in the great
Northwest.
The whole great country is rally
ing to the cry to get behind the men
that are going to fight for our rights,
our liberties and our homes.
1t is never going to be said that
the people of the United States of
America let their men go into battle
unprepared to fight or without the
must have, or the means to take care
of them if they are bowled over.
The great truth is being realized
that the Government is not asking
anyone for money, but wants only to
borrow it and is giving for it the
finest security that exists in the
whole world And patriotism and
loyalty today are words that are
synonymous with Liberty Bonds"
Men everywhere in Minnesota, in
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana, in northern Wisconsin and
in northern Michigan are being told
not to let the sun go down on them
without having their names on the
Liberty Bond subscription lists and
they are needing it nobly.

Ninth Federal Reserve district has

evidences already that counties and

IS IMPROVING
Government Requirements
for Goods Are Extensive
and Diversified.

New York, June 16.-Business IS
stronger and the general situation is
improved, Dun's report says today,
adding:
The revival in distributive trade has
continued with the more seasonable
temperatures and though not all re-
ports are favorable, results at the
retail counters are now more uni
formly encouraging.
Further progress IN agriculture also
has accompanied the better weather
and the consequent freer movement Of
farm products to market has in some
cases been a depressing effect on
prices. Yet the main trend of whole
sale commodity quotations is still de-
cisively upward.
The requirements Of the govern
ment are assuming more definite
shape. IN textiles and in hides, leath-
er and footwear and other lines the
war needs are extensive and diversi-
fled. Weekly bank clearings, S5.471.-
