NO TAX FOR 1922 !.
GENERAL REVENUE
STATE FOR FIRST TIME CLIPS
THIS TAX IN IT'S LEVY
THIS YEAR

This year, for the first time in its
sixty-three years of statehood, Mime
sofa will omit the regular annual in
Fiction of tax for general revenue
purposes.
Announcement Of the suspension OF
the tax was made Tuesday by r. z
Chase, State Auditor, coincident with
the certifcation of the 1921 State Tax
Levy to the various county auditors.
The levy is on the valuation of the
present year and is collectable in 1922.
The state tax rate for 1921, based
wholly on statutory requirements, and
over which the state auditor has no
control whatever. is 4.23 mills, as
against 81 mills, the figure in 1919 and
5.42 mills the rate for 1920. Practically
it is a cut of nearly one half the 1910
levy. Further it is the lowest state
tax levy. in recent years.
To what extent the taxpayers Of
Minnesota will profit from the tenn
porary abandonment of the tax for
general revenue purposes as announced
by Mr.. Chase can be best judged from
the fact that the infiction Of the reve-
nue. tax realized the state $4,0S6, ,535.6S
in 1917, $l,7s1, 1,991.14 in 1915. $685.
907.6O in 1919 and 81, ,667 ,419.42 in 1920.
The tax is for the general running ex-
pcnses of the state and it's various de-
partments, such as, penal, charitable
and educational institutions, special
aid to the public schools other state
Out Of the revenue derived
from this tax is paid salaries, bills for
supplies and the numerous expenses
necessary in the proper conduct and
of the state government.
Last year Minnesota did the largest
business in it's history. Receipts total
ed $54,37O,555.56, and the expenditures
$40, 500 9,630.35. At the close of the
fiscal year, June 30th, there was cash
balance Of $13,919,sss.s3 in the state
treasury. The fiscal year was begun
with a cash balance Of Sc, ,15S, ,961.72.

DR. WLDS SPEAKS
ON HEALTH MATTERS
AT ANNUAL MEETING OF MORRI-
SON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH
ASSOCIATION

DR.. w. F. Wilds, executive secretary
of the Minnesota Public Health Asso
citation, gave an interesting talk on the
work of that association and the coun
ty units, at the ANIMAL meeting of the

citation, at the library parlors Friday
afternoon.
DR.. Wilds spoke briefly of last year s
Health Crusade in the public schools
and Of the plans for that campaign this
year, saying that the daily chores of
the children will be modified so that
they will be more apt to make better
scores. He also explained the seal
sale campaign.to be put on throughout
the state in December and spoke Of the
good that is being accomplished by the
clinics held in various counties. In
connection with the latter, he pointed
out the urgent need of county nurses,
who can visit the people Of the county
and consult with them after the clinics
and thus follow up the health work
started by the clinics.
Speaking Of tuberculosis, DR.. Wilds
stated that as result of the concert
ed campaigns against this disease, the
death rate has been greatly reduced.
The death rate from cancer, on the 9th
er hand, has apparently increased, he
said, although it is not known whether
it actually has or whether with the
greater knowledge Of the men Of medi-
cine, deaths that are due to cancer are
known while in the earlier days, a
death might be caused by cancer and
still the medical profession would not
know for certain whether that was the
cause.
Mrs. A. H. Vernon, secretary of the
county association, gave the annual re-
port showing what the organization had
done in this county during the last
year. "a public health crusade was con-

mended by the committee. Several

tions OK contracts at the following

And in addition to the amounts men.
toned any taxes, interest and other

:ARBUCKLE FREED
ON $1,000 Bail
MURDER CHARGE REDUCED TO
MANsL.AUGHTER In CONNEC-
TON IN DEATH OF ACTRESS

San Francisco, Sept. 2s.-Roscoe G.
(Fatty) Arbuckle, held for manslaugh-
ter in connection with the death Of
Miss Virginia Rappe, was released
from the city prison tonight on $4,000
cash bail, after the charge of murder,
sworn out against him by Mrs. Bam-
bina Maude belmont, had been reduc-
ed to manslaughtcr by Judge Sylvan
ian Lazarus at the end Of prelimin-
ary hearing in police court. ~:. .
Arbuckle had been incarcerated
since September 10. He was released
on his own recognizance to answer to
the charge Of manslaughter, an indict:
ment for which had been returned
against him by the county and jury.
Arbuckle remained in the prison for
several minutes after his release, chat
ting with his brother, A. G. Arbuckle
of this city. He did not: announce his
plans. Not enough evidence was in
troduced to warrant Arbuckle being
held to answer for murder, Judge Laz-
arus said in reducing the charge.
There was enough in Arbuckle's con-
duct at the drinking party at the Ho-
tel st. Francis which led to Miss
Rappe's death to justify his being
held for manslaughter, however, he
announced.
Arraignment of Arbuckle on the
grand jury manslaughter charge has
been set for October 3. On the charge
resulting from today's action by
Judge Lazarus, the district attorney
must file an information within thirty
days. "'
III feel there was no assault or at
tempted assault committed by the de-
fendant,'' said Judge Lazarus. "The
only one whose testimony might have
connected him with the commission
of a crime was that of the nervous
hotel chambermaid who heard from
the corridor the cry of a woman"

the Bessett land clearing law passed
by the last legislature. Under this law,
two or more farmers can petition the
county board to have their land clear
ed when the acreage amounts to 100
acres OF more. The procedure is much
the same as ditching proceedings and
the county can issue bonds for the
work and assess the cost to the bene-
fitted property, totbe paid in taxes. A
