In his elimination of the annual tax
levy for regular state revenue pur-
poses, Mr.. Chase says he has based
his action on the fact that the re-
ceipts from various sources for the
next year will be ample for the ordin-
airy running expenses of the state and
he even hopes to finish with a sur
plus. Possible revenue from all OF
the known sources has been carefully
gone over and every possible contin-
gency considered.
For years the possibility of tax
less Minnesota has been the dream of
more than one state official and while
not as optimistic as some of his pre-
decessors, Mr.. Chase at least expects
a material reduction and abolition of
the revenue is the first step toward
its realization.
Last year Minnesota did the largest
business in its history. Receipts
totaled $54 ,37O, sos .46, and the ex-
penditures $49, 609, $50. 35. At the
clos Of the fiscal year, June both,
there was .. cash balance of $13,919,-

balance Of $s,15s,961.72.

MINNESOTA BREAKS
PREVIOUS RECORDS
TAXES FOR GENERAL STATE
REVENUE FUND WILL BE
OMITTED THIS YEAR
TOTAL STATELE 4.23 MILLS
TAXLESS MINNESOTA HAS LONG
BEEN DREAM OF STATE
OFFICIALS

This year, for the first time in its
sixty-three years of statehood, Min
nesota will omit the regular annual
infection of tax for general revenue
purposes.
Announcement of the suspension OF
the tax was made Tuesday by R. P.
Chase, State Auditor, coincident with
the certifcation Of the 1921 State
Tax Levy to the various county audi
tors. 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 cut of nearly one
half the 1919 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 announc-
ed by Mr.. Chase can be best judged
from the fact that the infiction OF
the revenue tax realized the state
S4,OS6, 535. 68 in 1917, $1,7S1, 1871. Ia
in 1918, $6,236,9O7 go in 1919 and ST.
667,419. AZ in 1920. The tax is for
the general running expenses of the
state and its various departments,
such as. penal, charitable and educa-
tional institutions, special aid to the
public schools ond other state activi-
ties. Out of the revenue derived
from this tax is paid salaries, bills
for supplies and the numerous ex-
penses necessary in the proper com
duct and maintenance of the stale
government.
The rate of taxation for specific
purposes and which as stated are
wholly statutory are as follows:

Delapray. That's ALL"
He succeeded in persuading his
wife that he was enchanted with her
frankness. Thus encouraged, she
persevered. In the days which fol-
lowed he learned that Marcelle had
paid more for clothes and toilet arti-
cles than she had previously ad-
mitted paying. He learned also that
she didn't like him to kiss her after
he had been drinking brandy, or to
smoke in the bedroom or to hum
tunes while he was dressing for
breakfast. He heard the opinions
which Narcotics women friends held
as to husbands in general. Also
the opinion which one of them, Ger
maine, whom he greatly admired
had of him in particular.
"Your Adrien is a sleepy-head,"
she had said. He'll never wake

Marcelle repeated this remark
with much indignation. She fed him
daily with those rasping little
truths which become of mighty con-
sequence only when the person con-
cerned hears about them. He began
to nourish an enmity against her
