Minnesota Treasurer
Called On To Handle
Large Amount OF Money

St. Paul. Minn., May 1s.-Minpe-
sofa, for the fiscal year 1921, ending
June 30, 1921, will pass the $780,
900, 900 mark in combined cxpendi-
lures and disbursements for the first
time in history, George LaFond. chief
accountant in the Office of Henry
Rines. state treasurer. said today.
Ten years ago the amount to pass
Through tho office of the state treas
'urer in a year was only slightly more
than ~one-fourth as much as today.
while twenty years ago the total was
ia little more than an eighth Of the
1921 figure and thirty years ago, or
in 1891, it was $s.4s7, 243.11 or about
Ia twelfth Of the present figure.
Few states are called Upon to han
die the" vast SUMS. that the Minnesota
treasurer does in a year. In New
TO- 900. 900, the total receipts and ex-
penditures for 1920 were approx
mately s21o.eo0,oo0 or $40 per capita,
while Minnesota's 800, 000. 900 a year
will mean a per capita state fund to-
tai of $40, based on Minnesota's
population of approximately $780,
900.
Fol the first ten months Of the
fiscal yea 1921, or from July 1 to
May /, the actual disbursements and
receipts in Minnesota totaled $685.
1 6,50S.s0. A balance of $685.
lee1.72 was carried over on July 1 by
ithe treasurer. so in handling that
money in addition to the $93,216.-
5oS.S0, the state treasurer has actual
~ had charge of the handling of
$1o2~. 375,47o.52.
May is a month Of ordinary re-
ceipts, but in June the counties turn
over at least one-half of the real es-
tate taxes collected and June Is n
of the three largest months in the
year in tax collections.
With the passing Of 1921. Minnie
sofa. is not likely to experience the
handling of as much al. 500, 600. 900
in a single year again for a number
OF years, Mr.. LAFond said. The state
now has a large reserve on hand.
$12,339,545, as of May /. 1921. but it
will have many large obligations IT,
meet in the neal future.
The millions used in payment OF
the soldiers bonuses. the. increased
tax receipts, the increased receipts in
the 5 per cen gross earnings tax on
railroads, the sale Of $905 900 of
Massachusetts, bonds held by the state
OF Minnesota and other unusual ex-
penditures. many arising from the
war. are given by Mr.. LaFond as the
reasons for the unusual amount ex-
pended by the state in 1921.

GIVES DECISION
IN HAIL CASE

Bismarck. N. D., May ls.-A large

Of the supreme court denying liability
against the department due to an as
SCISSORS negligence in failing to list

The decision is held to be an inn
portAnt affecting the department.
There are about twenty-five claims Of
this nature on file, and had the de.

would have been numerous other
claims filed.
The case was appealed by the state
department from the Burleigh county
district court, which is reversed. Harry
Bossen, who owned land in Mercer
county, filed suit for about $1,000 al
legged due for hail loss. The assessor
did not return his land to the county
auditor, nor did he file with the coun-
ty auditor any return or certificate
that any land was in crop and subject
to hail insurance.
Claim was CAnoelled.

URGENTLY the StandardO Oil Com
{ pany Qndiana) announced a plan
under which it is possible for its
5000 employees to become partners in
the business on a very attractive basis.
The publisher of a small newspaper,
unacquainted with the motives which
animate the seven men who direct the
operation of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana), wrote an editorial in which
he questioned the motives of this
Company, and minated that the plan
was a scheme whereby the Company
aimed to benefit by getting in this
additional capital.
To set right this publisher, and any
one else interested, the Company deems
it advisable, to direct attention to two
Outstanding features Of this plan which
are Illuminating in this instance.
First, that to every dollar paid by the
employe for the purchase of stock, the
the Company adds, as a gift, SOC.
Second. that participation in the plan
is not obligatory, and that in no case is
an employee permitted to pay in more
than twenty percent of his earnings.
In formulating the employe partner
ship plan, the Board Of Directors of
the Standard Oil Company undiana)
was inspired solely by the idea of ben
citing those employees who wish,
through systematic saving, to become
partners in the business. 1t believes
that the man who works and saves Is
climbing upward, but that the man
who invests his savings wisely is climb
ing faster. Il believes that the employe
who has money invested in the business
is freer Of mind, more contented, and
more productive than if this anchor to
windward did not exist.
The idea of employee ownership of
industry is in line with modern ten
denotes. The Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) has always been 4 progressive
organization. Ib willingness to re-
ceiye new ideas has put It in the lead
in.the petroleum industry.
The Standard Oil ompanyQndiana)
has developed an efficient, enthusiastic
body Of workers. Every employe,
from the Chairman Of the Board Of
Directors 70 the man who drives the
tank wagon, Is working stcadfastly to
serve the publicto the best Of his ability.
It is the recognition Of this fact that
prompted the Board Of Directors to in
auRurate the plan which enables the

EXCHANGE RATE
CAUSES DISPUTE.
WITH ARGENTINA
Large Amount of American
Merchandise Not Paid For
Because of Rates.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 30.-Advancing
exchange rates and decreasing prices
nave resulted in a dispute over the
payment Of between $40, 900 900 and
$~45.000,000 of American merchandise;
which is either tied up In the Argen-
tine custom house or is on its way to
this port. This statement, was made
commercial lawyer, who last night
addressed the second annual banquet
of the United States chamber of
commerce. Senior Varla discussed the
possibilities of solving the conflict be-
tween American exporters and Ar
gentine buyers ove the acceptance of
this merchandise and payment with
out loss, in his opinion. he said, no
general measures such as government
cure the situation. He declared the
solution was to be found only in
private agreements between the in
terested parties, each accepting nee
essary losses to save all possible.
The danger of the United States
losing its advantageous position IN In
the foreign trade through the lack. of
an international policy vas dwelt upon
by Jorge Mitre. director of La
Nacion, in a letter read at the ban
quet.
After referring to the fact that the
United States broke from interna-
tional aloofness during the war, and
actively intensified it's foreign rela-
tons, Senior Mitre's letter declared:
Would Lose Effect.
Eve now see that the labor SO
brilliantly initiated is in danger OF
losing the excellent results it would
logically expect. The members OF
your chamber know the United States
never had "a better opportunity to OBJ.
tain commercial leadership which
would in future assure Americans d
solid situation, especially in this part
of the American hemisphere, where
development is still incipient. Ameri.
cans have in their favor an almost
unanimous desire to see the principle
OF Pan-Americanism put into practice
in commercial relations, as without
these relations commercial inter.
course loses much of its force and
meaning in the life of the nations. II
would really be regretable that. with
such an excellent outlook a motive OF
misunderstood selfishness should
cause the United States to give up the
advantageous position it has con.
quered and again hold aloof, disap.
POINTING OUT hopes and hazardinR its
future on the international stage.'
Senior Mitre praised the work done
by the chamber in bringing pressure
to bear for the purpose of preventing
the passage of the Fordney emergency
tariff bill by the United States con.
