TAX CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD At MINNEAPOLIS

A large state tax conference
will be held at Minneapolis on
Jan. % and %. to which the gen.
eral public is invited.
Following is a letter received
by County Auditor Edin which
explains:

My dear Sir:
The fourth annual meeting of
the Minnesota Tax Conference
will be held at the Court House
in the City of Minneapolis on
Thursday and Friday. January
22nd and 23rd. 1920.
Following the plan of last year,
each county in the state will be
entitled to FIVE delegates. The
county auditor and the chairman
OF the county board of each coun-
ty will be ex-officio delegates.
the other three delegates to be
appointed by the county board.
lnasmuch as the agricultural in
terests of the state are vitality
concerned in an equitable and
Just distribution of the tax
burdens. it is suggested that one
or more of the three delegates
to be appointed by the county
board be selected from the farm
ing community of each county.
1t is hoped that every county
in the state will be fully repre-
scented at the conference. At no
other period in our history have
the tax problems of the state
and nation loomed so large as at
the present time. For this rea-
son the fourth meeting of the
Tax Conference will be one of
more than usual interest.
An excellent program cover
ing the most important phases Of
taxation is being prepared. TIE
leading subjects will be present
ed by speakers who have given
special study to the questions to
be discussed. each subject to be
open to general discussion of
the assembled delegates.
Will you please bring the con-
ference to the attention of the
county board at its next meeting.
or to the chairman of the board

and ask that delegates be APP
pointed as above suggested.
While the voting strength of the
conference will be confined to
the regularly appointed dele
gates the meeting will be open
