citizen of considerable worth. The

State Auditor
Reduces Tax
R. P. CHASE ANNOUNCES STATE
WILL OMIT TAX FOR GEN
ERAL REVENUE.

This year, for the first time in its
sixty-three years of statehood, Min.
nesota will omit the regular annual in.
Fiction of tax for general revenue
purposes.
Announcement of the suspension OF
the tax was made today by r. P
Chase, State Auditor, coincident with
the certifcation of the 1921 State Taa
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, basee
wholly on statutory requirements, anc
over which the state auditor has nc
control whatever, is 4.23 mills, as
against 81 mills, the figure in 1915
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 fol
general revenue purposes as announc-
ed by Mr.. Chase can be best judged
from the fact that the infliction of the
revenue tax realized the state $4,086,-
535.68 in 1917, $1,781 ,991.14 in 1918,
sc, ,236 ,9O7 go in 1919 and 81 SGT ,419.-
AZ in 1920. The tax is for the general
running expenses of the state and its
various departments, such as, penal
charitable and educational institutions,
special aid to the public schools and
other state activities. Out of the re-
venue derived from this tax is paid
salaries, bills for supplies and the
numerous expenses necessary in the
proper conduct and maintenance OF
the state government.
The rate of taxation for specific pur-
poses and which as stated are wholly
statutory are as follows:
For the relief Of Soldiers and Sail
ors, one tenth of a mill.
For State Road and Bridge, one mill.
Redemption of Soldiers Bonus Ger
tifcates, one and three tenths.

Boy Badly Hurt.

. Last Friday while hunting near
Bean Lake the fourteen year old son
of Iver O. Iverson had the misfor-
tune to shoot himself through the
right hand and as a consequence lost
his thumb and forefinger. Just how
the accident happened the boy himself
does not know, but the gun was an
old fashioned one and the triggers
were very loose. It is supposed that
in dragging the gun through the
weeds the trigger was pulled back
and the gun discharged. 1t is FORUM
ate that the akeident was no worse for
if nothing ulEtoward sets in the boy
will the sill have a serviceabie hand.
The accident coming so early in the
hunting season should be warning to
all hunters, young and old, to be care
full in handling their guns. Nothing
is more to be feared in hunting party
than the man who is reckless with the

Friday afternoon train to New Ulm to
get treatments, after having first OBJ

Larry Iauds
Dairy Show
ST. PAUL MAYOR QUOTED ILLU-
sTRATING OBJECTIvEs SOUGHT
BY NATIONAL DAIRY EXHIBIT.

The value Of the National Dairy
show, to be held at the Minnesota
Fair grounds October s to Is, is
graphically described in some start
ling comparisons made by Mayor
Hodgson of Saint Paul. Here they
are:
IF it were possible to change the
entire dairy situation over night, SO
that every cow being milked was a
thoroughbred, proft-producing ami
NAL, here are some results that would
follow:
'.'The dairy production of the
country for year would pay for all
the boots and shoes made in the
country in ten years.
''It would pay for all the sugar
manufactured in the country for six
teen years.
"It would pay for all the agricul-
tural implements made in the coun-
try for thirty years.
''It would pay for all the products
Of mines and quarries for five years.
at would pay for the mems cloth
ing manufactured for ten years; for
the cotton goods manufactured in
eleven years; for the lumber product
of five years; for the flour mill pro-
duct of nine years; for the products
of all printing and publishing plants
for eight years.
"a years dairy production would
pay the total governmental costs OF
all cities in the United States OF
more than 10000 population for a
period of nearly seven years.
"Six months dairy production
would pay off the Indebtedness OF
every American city of more than
10000 population.
"One weeks dairy product would
pay for all the wagons, carriages,
and sleighs made in this country in
year.
''One days dairy product would
pay for all the furniture manufactur-
ed in this country in a year.
"If these figures do not impress
you let me make it more appealing:
Zone days dairy product would
buy-a porterhouse steak for every
man, woman and child in the United
States. One years dairy product
would buy twenty-eight bonnets for
every woman in America. One days
dairy product would buy pumpkin
pie for every human being in this
country, and these pies, placed rim
to rim, would reach from the north
pole to the south pole, with 4,10O
miles of pies left over to tie as a rib
bon around the neck of the equator"

Game Warden
Makes Cleaning.

Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing game warden j. A. johnson of
Redwood Falls picked up bunch
of law violators south of Garvin. He
came out of the catch with seven
guns and made several arrests with
out taking the guns. The offenses
were mostly on shooting after sun
set and before half hour before sun
rise, shooting without license and
not taking the gun down when travel
ing on the highway. Better be safe
than sorry and either keep your eye
on the game warden pretty closely or
follow the law somewhat or someone
will be caught. Many people think
that if they do not know what the law
is they will be let off, but such is not
the case as ignorance excuses no man
in the eyes Of the law.-Milroy Echo.

Dr.. ]. W. Inglis
Enlarges Office
MISS Lillian STEELE TO ASSIST
IN PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
AND X-RAY WORK.

DR.. j. w. Inglis has enlarged his Of
flee suite in the Farmers State Bank
Building and has added to his general
dental practice the very desirable
department of preventive dentistry,
including clinic work for children.
This work will be in charge of Miss
Lillian Steele who has been associated
with Dr. Inglis for the past several
years and is thoroughly conversant
with his methods. Miss Steele is also
registered dental assistant, having
met all-the stated qualifications for
this registration. She will have
charge of all the X-Ray work done in
DIR. Inglis office also.
The preventive or prophylactlc
branch of dentistry has become one
of the recognized and important parts
of the dental profession, parents COM
ing more and more to realize that
what their children need is 'tooth
education" and early care of their
teeth rather than extensive dental
work done in the later years of their
life. All branches of the medical pro-
fession are recognizing the truth OF
this, and the recogniction is made evil
dent by the number Of clinics which
are held with much greater frequency
than in the past.
Many children Of the vicinity have
been told at dental clinics previously
held under the direction of the public
health officials, the school nurse and
others, that their teeth need certain
care in order that they may retain the
full number. 1t is to do this work at
regular and stated periods, to help
children form the right tooth-health
habits and to make corrections early
in life that DIR. Inglis and Miss Steele
will conduct their new department.
The office has been well equipped and
with view to especial attractive fea-
lures to interest the very small chill
dren and Miss Steele has already
started work with her young patients.

Credit in Sight
to Help Farmers
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
FUNDS READY SOON FOR
NORTHWEsT's AGRICULTURE.

Financial help is in sight for Min.
nesota farmers whose assets justify
the extension of additional credit, r
E. MacGregor, chairman of the Wal
Finance corporations committee fol
Minnesota and the Dakotas, told 9
conference of farmers and bankers al
state headquarters of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation here.
Funds to be loaned for agricultural
purposes probably will be available as
soon as the committee can be com
pletely organized, Mr. MacGregol
said.
The conference was called by the
farm bureau federation Committee Of
Six, representing farmers and country
bankers, to lay before Duluth ane
Twin City bankers the credit needs Of
the farmer. The meeting; ATTENDED
by representatives of the Duluth; st
Paul and Minneapolis clearing hous.
associations; the federal reserve 6anl
| and the federal land bank; resulted il
two important developments:
First-Both farmers and banker:
agreed that agricultural loans made
| possible to country banks through thu
War Finance corporation will affort
definite relief by carrying many far
mers through the present critical cred
| it situation.
Second-The. Committee of Si1
launched a campaign to encourage
eastern investors to put their money
into northwest farm mortgages, as the
best means of providing long tim,
agricultural credit.
The amendment to the War Finance
corporation act; which made 1000,
100000 available for agricultural cred
| it, was drafted in consultation witt
officers of the American Farm Bureau
federation, and was backed by tht
state federations.
mo credit scheme in the world
| however, can save the man who has
involved himself so heavily in deb
that his farm in normal operation
cannot meet current expenses, pay in
terest and reduce obligations" E. G
Quamme, president of the st. Pau
federal land bank said.
Operations of the War Finance cor
poration, Mr.. MacGreagor said, viii
permit country banks to obtain enough
money to carry solvent farmers unit
they can bring their livestock or crops
| to their most valuable market condi
tiOns.
The principal financial difficulty OF
the producer. according to Thomas
Meighen of Preston, banker member
of the Committee of Six, is that while
he can obtain credit for planting and
raising and harvesting his crop, he is
pressed to iquidate as soon as the
crop is harvested.
'The inevitable result Mr.. Neigh
en- said, "is to throw the whole crop
on the market at once, and put it into
the hands of men who buy it at de-
pressed prices, and are enabled, by
simply handling it and holding it, to
realize more than farmers got for it
by their year of labor"
Farmer representatives contended
that it would require no more credit
to finance this grain in the hands of
the farmer. in country or terminal
elevators, than to finance it in the
hands of spectators.

New Lights On.

The new lighting system in the
downtown section of Redwood Falls
was used for the first time Saturday
evening and proved very satisfactory
as well as extremely attractive. Eight
lights are used to the block, being
stationed four on each side of the
street. The lights follow the line OF
paving as far as the hospital corner.
The new system adds especial attrac-
tiveness to the court house square
which is completely outlined with the
white lights. Necessary repairs to
the sidewalks which have been torn
up, win be made soon and will add
much to the appearance Of the streets.
Redwood Falls win then be justified
in being proud Of the appearances Of
the business section Of the city.

Senator Frank B. Kellogg Monday
announced his candidacy for re-elec.
ton. His term expires March 4, 1928
and he will be a candidate for the re-
publican nomination next year.
The statement contains no recital OF

be able to make personal campaign
owing to his duties in Washington.
Senator Kellogg was nominated fo1
the senate five years ago in field OF
four candidates. He had entered the
race in response to "round robin
petition from republican editors OF
the state. He was elected in Novem-
Der 1916, to succeed Senator Moses
E. Clapp, and took his seat the fol
lowing March, just before the declara-
tion Of war.
Mr.. Kellogg's statement follows:
During my stay in St. Paul / have
been solicited by many friends to
write letter making an announce
ment of my political plans. I did not
think it was necessary, but I have
finally concluded to do so, and write
this letter to the people of Mime
sofa.
II shall next year be a candidate
for the senate to succeed myself. Five
years ago, the people of this state
honored me with their confidence and
elected me to the United States SEN
ate. | took. my seat at the beginning
of the great war, and my term of
service has represented one of the
most critical periods in American
history. Not only have we been con-
fronted with the tremendous problems
of war, but the equally difficult econ
omic, social and foreign questions
following the close of the conflict.
81 shall make no statements as to
my services. | have given to the
state and the nation all of my time
and the utmost of my ability and ex-
.perience. If in my public career I
have met the expectations and ap-
proval of the people Of the state, /
should deem it an honor to receive
their Endorsement My duties are
such that / cannot leave Washington
to carry on personal campaign, and
I have no taste or talent for wire
pulling or political intrigue. l am
perfectly willing to leave the matter
to the people of Minnesota"
Mr.. Kellogg left Monday night for
Washington to resume his duties
there after the congressional recess.
