ASSESSMENTS ARE CHANGED.
W. p. co. FRANCHISE TAX WIPED
OUT BY TAX CoMMISsION-
UPSALA BANK RABED

| County Auditor McNairy was yester-
day advised by the state, tax commits
sion of two changes from the county
board Of equalization of the taxable
valuation Of certain property in this
county, one of which changes material
ly affects Little Falls. The changes are
in the Little Falls Water Power COM
pany's assessment and Of the Farmers
State Bank Of Upsala.
Mr.. McNairy was advised that line
81, which includes stock, bonds and
franchises, was reduced 100 per cent.
chise Of the Water Power company.
which would have meant about $4,000
in taxes.
The Water Power company hal a
representative at the hearing before
the state tax commission on this as
sessment, but the county and city were
not notified of the hearing and will
therefore ask for rehearing. The va
ter Power company has contended that
in view of the fact that they we're pay
ing taxes on real and personal property
the tax on the franchise would be aau-
bic taxation. ~
Nothing was said by the tax commits
sion about the dam, the taxable valua-
ton of which is $S0000 which will ike
ly remain the same. This is the first year
the dam has been taxed. The tax on this
will amount amount to about $500.
The other change made by the com
mission was to increase the taxsble
valuation of the Upsala bank $952, this
| bank being under-assessed.
These are the only changes made by
the commission in this county and re-
fleets credit on the equalization beard.

ARRESTED FOR DfSERT1ON
SYLVESTER KAISER IS TURNED
OVER TO F1DERAL AUTHOR
ITIES- SENT TO CAMP

Sylvester Kaiser of Bellevue town
ship is the first Morrison county man
to be arrested on a charge of deser-
tion from the army, for failure to re-
port for military service in accordance
with the draft law.
Kaiser was arrested Sunday by Dep
uty Sheriff Joe Newman Of Royalton
and was brought to Little Falls. Early
Monday morning Sheriff Felix took
him to Ft. Snelline and turned him
over to the commandant there.
The following article from the st.
Paul Pioneer Press of Wednesday tells
of the disposition of the case:
"Sylvester Kaiser of Little Falls,
MIMI, has been firm believer in the
Justice of the other kaiser's dreams of
empire. Sylvester was drafted, but he
repeatedly and vociferously declared
that if the government wanted him for
it's army he would not go voluntarily
and an officer would have to be sent
for him.
"This was easily arranged, and yes
terday the officer with Sylvester ar
rived at Fort Smelling.
"Lieutenant Paul r. Morrissey, as
SAotdAI ouJuCoAV3 OAPAoAA0u W 0y4VOSGOA
that his status is that of deserter,
and that his choice must be made be.
tween serving the government as sol.
der or taking his chances with a court
martial which has authority in time Of
war to punish by death, any person
guilty Of desertion.
"1What time does the train for
Camp Dodge leave tonight inquired
Kaiser. The information was given
him, and when it left the Union sta
tion, Kaiser was aboard
The local draft board notified Kaiser
to appear for physical examination, but
he failed to put in an appearance. He
was then certified to the district board.
A standing reward of $50 is offered
by the government to anyone for the
arrest Of deserter, which includes
persons who fail to report for service
under the draft law when called. Ac-
cordingly Joe Newman Of Royalton
will receive the reward in this case.
There are several other men in the
county who failed to appear for phys
ical examination or for service, also
some who had been examined but who
failed to report for service when noti-
fed and these will be rounded up 90
soon as possible. :..s'1

LOCAL. POSTOFFICE MADE CEN.
TRAL STATION FOR COUNTY

From now on the Little Falls postof-
fee will be the central accounting post
office for Morrison county. This change
is the result of new law recently pass
ed whereby the postoffces of the third
and fourth class will get all their sup
plies Of stamps, post cards, stamped en-
velopes and stamped wrappers from q
central station, instead Of each one
sending individual requisitions to
Washington. This will make big saw
ing to the government. It viii not
mean more business for the local Of
fee but will mean more work. The
change will bring all the smaller Of
fees in the county under the jurisdic-
tion Of the local office but the local
postmaster will have no power to abol-
ish, create Of name employees.

. .
Two changes were made in the levy
from the amounts recommended by the
finance committee. The committee
recommended levying $4,000 for the
revenue fund and $4,000 for the poor
fund. The finance committee said that
the reason it recommended increasing
the revenue fund was to create sort
Of sinking fund in event that the sa-
looms should 20 out. Mayor Bergheim
advised the council not to rai,e the
poor fund, saying that the Civic league
this year would be better able to take
care of the poor and that the Woman's
Guild had also been organized for this
purpose.
The library fund was increased $500
over last year. A delegation Of citi-
zens, including members of the library
board and others, were present to urge
the council to increase the library levy,
but this was not necessary. A petition
signed by large number of residents,
asking for the increase, and a testi-
monial from the teachers in the public
schools Of the value of the public IL
brary, were read.
Mayor Bergheim, in speaking Of in
creasing the library fund, said that
he was heartily in favor of it but that
the city could not afford to give
the library more than 100000
at this time, because of condi-
tions and because Of the present
system Of taxation. He said the ap-
preparation of $4,000 should be made
the limit and the board be given to un-
derstand that this would have to take
care of all expenditures for the libra
ry. The board should make up bud
get of it's expenses; he said, and divide
the funds accordingly, and not spend
money for books which should be used
elsewhere, and then come before the
council and ask for additional aid. He
said that the appropriation for the IL
brary here compares favorably with
other cities of the same size.
Mayor Bergheim called the councils
attention to the generous contribution
by Mrs. C. A. Weyerhaeuser for fixing
up the library, and at his suggestion
the council gave q rising vote OF thanks
to Mrs. Weyerhaeuser for her financial
assistance.
The bonds of j. McManus and Young
& Gulaf were approved by the coun-
Gil. The Young & Gulan license has
not as yet been issued by the city clerk.
The assessment for street sprinkling
for 1916 was read and approved.
Mayor Bergheim advised the coun-
Gil that the Franciscan hospital had
agreed to care for Mr.. Shubert for SIS
per month and that Mr.. Zaba will be
cared for by a relative, some property
