Are Minnesota
Taxes High.

The Minnesota Leader, and the
"lesser microbes" of the Townley
press throughout the state, have been
telling their readers repeatedly that
Minnesota taxes are higher than those
of any other state. Now, most any
kind of statement that appears in
the "Peepuls Press" is accepting at
par by some of our citizenry without
ever question of doubt as to it's
truthfulness, and this fact accounts
for much of the misinformation found
in the heads of our radical brethren.
The fact is, there are more lies, near
lies and d-m lies found in the
columns Of the papers referred to
than anywhere else in fair America,
and the public is becoming aware of
that fact. It was an easy matter to
get by with the statement that Mime
sofa taxes are higher while arguing
the matter with people who are not
posted on the subject but when they
put the question up to Theo. Chris
Hanson of Dawson they were COM
PEELED to swallow the lie. Mr.. Chris
tianson was chairman of the appro-
priation committee in the House dur
ing the last session of the legislature
and he is one of the best posted men
on the subject of taxation in Mime
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1921-09-07
Here is what he says:

va. mere Is WudC He says.
When the radical press states
that Minnesota taxes are higher
than those of any other state, it
states what it knows to be I'M
true. 1t reaches its conclusion
by comparing the total of all
taxes, state, county, local and
school, in Minnesota, with the
state tax Of other states. 1t fur
thermore ignores the fact that
most of the money raised by the
state of Minnesota as such is
raised for distribution to counties
and school districts to be expend
ed by and under the direction of
local authorities.
It is true that the $35, 100000
appropriated by the last Legis-
lature for the biennium could
have been reduced by about $5,-
100000 without substantial injury
to any legitimate activity. The
budget was actually reduced
about $9,00O,00O; and one reason
for the failure Of the Legislature
to cut off the other $5,000,000 was
the opposition of the Minnesota
Leader and other radical publica-
tions to the program Of economy.
The Leader openly charged the
editor of this paper with being ac-
tuated with special solicitude for
large tax-paying interests, when
as chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee he endeavored to
reduce the burden of the farmers
of Minnesota .during the period
Of depression.
1t is not to excite wonder that
the Minnesota Leader should voice
opposition to measures of econ
omy and at the same time~shout
extravaganza; its present attitude
is only characteristic Of the incon-
sistency and insincerity that have
marked it's course since it first
began to disseminate misinform-
alton among the people Of the
state.-Olivia Times.

of the banks work.
The Cashier of the Bank is an old
East Side man, D. B. Fuller. For
some years he was with the St. An
thony Falls bank, then with the form

position he entered the employ of the
state banking department as state
bank examiner, which position he held
for over seven years. He has been
associated with the banking. interests
of the East Side for some twenty
years and has had a wide experience
qualifying him for his present posi-
ton.

F. r. LOBDELL OFFICER OF
GROWING INSTITUTION IN MIN

The following article, taken from
the North East Argus minneapolis
is Of interest to Redwood Falls read
ers since it gives an interesting story
of the growth Of the East Hennepln
State Bank of which F. 4. Lobdell,
formerly a resident here, is active
vice president.
"The East Hennepin State Bank has
Just taken a progressive Step in sign
ing a long term lease by which it not
only secures the continued use of the
space it now occupies but additional
floor space twice as large. The bank,
when enlarged, will, therefor, have
about three times the floor space it
now has.
It is planned to have a public lobby
fifty feet long across the front Of the
building, extending from East Henne-
min avenue to Central avenue. At one
side Of the lobby the offices Of the
hank will be located, with room for
nrivate conferences adjacent, and at
The other side of the lobby the insur-
ance department will be placed with
working space and consultation room.

State bank with commodious quarters
for the public, ample well-lighted
working space for the employees,

s;dent's room for private interviews
and large facilities for the safety de-
nosit boxes, rest room for the women
emnlovees and the various appoint
ments that go to make up thorough

The East Hennepin State bank was
organized in 1916, starting business
INV 1st Of that year. Since that time

reached over 500, 10000.
About q year ago the bank secured

president. He was one of the organ
izers of the Exchange State bank of
which institution he was vice-presi-
dent for about five years and MEM
Der of the discount committee. Mr..
Bauer had formerly occupied the lead
ing position in one Of the large de-
partments Of the University Of Min
nesota from where he entered the SER
vices Of the United States Treasury
department. He. served one year as
State Chairman of War Savings So
cieties in which capacity he was active
in studying various phases of war
finances, addressing numerous gather
ings throughout the State and took
prominent part in organizing the vari-
Gus counties in connection with war
activities. During the next year he
was Associate Director Of the War
Loan Organization for the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve district. In this capacity
he travelled extensively; addressed
State Educational association gather
ings; State Bankers conventions; ap-
peared in many Of the schools and
colleges throughout Minnesota, the
Dakotas, and Montana; attended a
conference in Washington, D. c., with
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
governors of the Federal Reserve
banks; addressed meetings in Chicago
and other places; prepared literature
for the use of schools and colleges and
wrote on financial and economic sub
jects. Under his leadership the East
Hennepin State Bank has been re-
organized and it's service enlarged.
Mr.. Frank R. Lobdell was secured
as. active vice-president. He comes
from Redwood Falls. He was one of
the organizers of the Farmers State
bank Of Redwood Falls and was the
active head Of that bank. 1t was from
that position that Mr.. Lobdell entered
the employ of the United States
Treasury department where he did ex-
cellent organization work in Mime
apolis, Duluth and numerous other
places. For some time he was Direc-
tor Of the War Savings Work Of Du-
luth and earned a conspicuous place
for himself. He is a man of great en-
ergy and has the happy faculty of
making many friends. During the
year that he has been active with the
East Hennepin State bank, he has

favorable seasons q fairly good cotton
crop was made, but II availed the far
meer nothing. rather putting him In
debt.
Greenville County does not look
with favor, Perhaps on the approach
of the weevil. Neither did Bamberg,
and 1t still does not, but it is an un-
disputed fact that our county has
more food, including cattle and hogs,
than ever before, and this condition
would not have prevailed but for the
visit of the cotton pest.
cannot attempt a discussion of the
boil weevil, but 1 will say that the
weevil is not taking possession of the
great Southern section of the State
without stiff fight. The weevil is
being fought successfully and it can
be stated with reasonable certainty
that five or six acres of cotton may
be cultivated to the plow, from which
an average yield may be expected by
reason of intensive cultivation, pois-
oning, picking the forms, etc. This
may not be interesting to your people
now, but it will be, probably in two
years.
Five acres of cotton per plow will
not bring the farmer much money
even with good prices. Therefore, il
becomes necessary to introduce other
crops. Leading farmers in our sec
tion take the position that every crop
that can be grown and marketed
should be planted This will make
the farmer absolutely independent,
and will go further toward the de-
velopment Of the South than any 9TH
er agency. The mighty resources of
our State have been dormant, 10,
these many years. If the boil weevil
can induce the development of our
latent resources, who will say it is
not our friend?

REPRESENTATIVES present at the Press

it is foremost in the minds of not only
he farmers, but the business people
i all lines
1 have repeatedly stated that the
boil weevil is the friend of the South,
and after experiencing business in an
injected area, for several years, 1 re-
peat the assertion. Our farmers last
year had an estimated loss of 25 per
cent. to 33 13 per cent. in their cot
ton production because of the weevil.
The preceding year the loss was slight
but there were sufficient numbers of
the pest to convince the average plan
ter that as money crop cotton could
not again be depended on.
Consequently the past year far less
cotton was planted Notwithstanding
the allurement of 40 cents a pound
The largest crops on record Of corn
peas, potatoes, velvet beans, etc
were planted. In the fall these crops
were harvested and stored, and to-
day 1 believe our people could live
for months without importing any
food, IF necessary, and it is necessary
to live at home, for few farmers hav,
money with which to buy. AS event:

these crops was found to have been
