State to Sue for
S25,OOO,OOO Back
Franchise Taxes
Martin SAKE Is Appointed
Special Counsel to Pros
ecute the Cases
Some Due Is Years
City's Failure to Act Compels
Attorney General to
Start Suits

ALBANY, Nov. 13.-The state, through
Attorney General Merton Z. Lewis VIII
institute proceedings Immediately 10
collect special franchise taxes in New
York City, some OF which have been
unpaid for more than fifteen years.
The Attorney General, with the ap-
proval OF Governor Whitman, to-day
appointed Martin SAKE, former chair
man Of the State Tax Commission, as
special counsel to prosecute the. ltiga-
ton.
Taxes which depend upon the de-
termination of 256 proceedings now
pending, amount to upward of s25,O0O,-
900 upon assessed valuations of more
than $1,35O,OOO,OCO. Attorney General
Lewis aid. He explained that although
the assessments were made by the State
Tax Commission, the collection a the
taxes has been left TO the Corporation
Counsel Of New York City. The Cor
poration Counsel, according to Mr..
Lewis, has not the necessary Office force
the action by the state.
All Taxpayers Affected.
"The cases pending" Mr.. Lewis said,
affected every taxpayer in the city.
To the extent that the corporations
assessed are successful in reducing
these assessments an additional burden
will be cast upon the property-owner.
OF the 256 pending actions, 81 per cent
are dormant No apparent attempt has
been made to dispose of them. They
involve Si6,000,000 in taxes. In eleven
cases settlements have been agreed
upon which will result in the payment
OF aboutS3 100000 when the adjust
ments receive the formal confirmation
Of the Mayor and Comptroller"
Mr.. Lewis said that in 1915 Mayor
Mitchell, Mr.. SAKE and the then Attor-
ney General, Z. E. Woodbury., dis
cussed the situation with representa-
tives Of the Offices Of the Comptroller
and Corporation Counsel. At that
time Mr.. Woodbury. said he did not
want 70 interfere with the city's pre-
rogative of protecting its interests,
but was ready to give the fullest CO.
operation.
Must Retain Specialists.
"After two years trial Of the city's
choice of procedure" Mr.. Lewis said,
sit is apparent that not only must
more forceful measures be taken at
once. but also the services Of expert
enced specialists must be retained 70
safeguard the interests Of the people
and collect the just taxes"

Girls Boarding School

The graduates of the school who are
attending Commencement exercises
and who have been paying high rates
for board and room where they have
been teaching are greatly interested
in the record which has been made by
the Girls Boarding Club at Mrs
Wears. Mr.. Lew Colt, as manager of
the club, and Mrs. Wears, who does the
cooking, have shown most surprising
economy.
The girls are enthusiastic over the
fine board which they have had dur
ing the year and yet at the end of the
year having paid. only at the rate of
$2.75 per week there was balance of
$3.50. The girls voted a portion of
this to the manager for his efficient
buying and a portion to Mrs. Wears
and her daughter for their excellent
cooking and kind treatment, and $500
was given to Lillian Rembolt, who
served to pay her board, $4,000 was
given over for the patriotic purpose
OF paying toward the army Y. M. G.
service, leaving $1.O0 as a reward for
each girl of the. club.
Harold Vanderhoof, who is to be
manager next year, feels that Mr.. Colt
has set high standard, yet not so
high that the same big things may
not be done at the end of another year.

ganization. Now is a good time to
consider this. Other means of shelter
have been suggested, some of which
might be made use of. If we can get
the quarters there is no question about
getting the stock, and this in a few
years will terminate in a sort of in
ter-county fair which would be fine
thing for River Falls and the sur
rounding community. Shall we quit
or get busy-it is for you to decide?
The stock entered this year was of
a higher grade than of any time pre-
vious. When we compare the stock of
this year with that of five years ago,
we can readily see the vast progress
which has been made. To what is
this progress in part at least due? To
our little stock show held four years
ago. If this interest does not flag in
another four years, all practically will
have made a start toward more and
better stock. If we were talking about
raising cabbage or beans we might
talk with some misgivings for fear
there would be an over supply. But
there is absolutely no danger of over
doing the stock business in this coun-
try 1t takes time and work to bring
animals to producing age, and once
you have them the permanent prosper
ity of that section is assured.
Mr.. Scruton and his son, who gradu-
ated this year from the Normal,
showed some Shorthorns of very good
ancestry. 1t was largely due to the eff
forts of young William that the inter
est in this breed was taken by his
father. Mr.. Aliens Aberdeens with
their inherent smoothness and quality
made a fine start for this breed, and
also proved to be good competition
for Mr.. Smiths herd of Kinnickinnic
The Taylors showed their dual purpose
Shorthorns with high milk records.
The Chapmans, Alton, Flower, Bailey
and q few others showed a class of
aged Holstein cows that were really
of state fair calibre. Here was fine
competition. To get fourth or even
fifth place was not necessarily dis
credit to the animal. For the first
time very good pair of Guernseys
wer3 shown by Mr.. Corson. PIERCE
with his Jerseys carried off the hon
ors. His record producing COW Crea-
tia won the grand championship.
We herewith submit TIE list of win
ners in each class:

Old Settlers To
Have Reunion

The people of Pierce and ST. Croix
counties may we'll be proud of their
human product. They cherish the
names of Lutte and Horace Taylor, OF
Henry C. Baker, Judge Humphry and
Bill Nye, of rare old Sam G. Johnson,
Charles Cox, Oliver Powell, and Judge
Allen P. Weld, of Wellington Vannat-
ia, Frank L. Gibson and Eugene F.
Case, of Col D. J. Dill, F. A. Caldwell
and many others who have passed
away. They proudly point to Senator
John C. Spooner, Hon. James T. Nc
Cleary, Nils P. Haugen and host of
others now occupying high and honor
able positions in the affairs Of the
world.
One of the deeply interested fea-
lures of the next meeting of the old
Settlers is a Homing Coming of some
of the living boys who went out from
us into the world to seek their fortunes
but in whose hearts the word "Home"
is still associated with the ST. Croix
Valley.
Judge Charles Smith of Superior,
has dubbed Pierce County ''The Land
of Pleasant Memories" Charles
Crownhart, now a leading lawyer of
Madison, has written 81 want to join
the boys in the reunion on the hal
lowed soil of good old Pierce county.
Put me down for one long happy day,
June 20, and God speed the enter
prise" The verdurous hills of St.
Croix county looking down into the
beautiful Kinnickinnic valley with its
famous trout brook, glorious in Spring
and Summer beautifed by Autumn,
have deep place in the heart of Hon.
Frank M. Nye than the greater success
of his life.
In the spirit of REVENGE for the old
soil and the older days these "boys"
are coming home.
Our citizens will turn out to meet
and welcome them.
There are large number of people
in both counties who by reason of
forty years residence are eligible to
membership the fee for which has been
reduced to fifty cents including badge.
These are urged to come and take part
in the picnic.
Everybody is invited to the enter
tainment which is free. If you have
not sentimental reason for coming,
come to be entertained. You surely
will be. It will be day we'll spent
day long to be remembered with
pleasure.
