The dominating feature of the 1921
tax levy, and which as explained is
collectable this year, is the state in
fiction. Here less than $9,0OO,OOO is
demanded, a cut Of nearly $4,000, 900
when compared with the state levy for
the year previous. In sharp contrast
are the levies for school districts,
cities and villages and for county pur-
poses. These levies are all local IN
nature and as such are subject to local
control and regulation.
To explain, the present state levies
are wholly statutory and without IN
reference by any state official or au-
thority aside from the legislature and
include such statutory items as Soldi-
ers' Relief Fund, State Road and
Bridge, University Building Fund and
the State School Tax of one and twen-
ty-three hundredths mills, which is of
venerable age.
The only state inf1iction over which
there is official control is the time
honored one for state revenue pur-
poses and this the present state audi
tor, invoking an official prerogative,
omitted in his certi6cation of the
state tax rate to the various county
auditors last September. To large
extent the omission of this particular
tax, which was the first and only ac-
tion of it's kind ever taken in the his
tory Of the department, is largely re-
sponsible for the reduction noted.
AS to local infections, that of the
levy for school districts is consider
ably in advance Of the previous year.
The one other increase is in the case
of the township levy.

Mrs. S. A. Half
Dies at Granite Falls
FORMER REDWOOD RESIDENT
PASSED AWAY THURS. NIGHT
AT SONS HOME.

Mrs. S. A. Hall for many years a
resident of Redwood Falls died last
Thursday night at the home of her
son, Judge Charles Hall of Granite
Falls. Burial service was held Sun
day afternoon at the old home at
Wood Lake and interment was made
there. From Wood Lake where she
was best known and much loved
comes the following story of her life
Emma Leona Hail was born in
Medina, Wisconsin January II, 1850
and died at the home of her son,
Charles F. Hall in Granite Falls,
Minn., March 3, 1922.
"She was daughter Of Charles B.
Knapp and Mary Ann Blake Knapp
She grew up on a farm about two
miles from Waterloo, Wisconsin and
attended school in the village. She
was married August Is, 1868 to S. A.
Hall, who was also resident of that
vicinity. They moved to Eau Claire,
Wis. for their first home, where Mr..
Hall was teaching school. Here they
became acquainted with the Baldwin
and Barnes families. Through Mr..
Baldwin, Mr.. Hall was induced to To-
cate in Yellow Medicine County and
they came to Wood Lake November
1, 1869. There they lived on the farm
until they moved to Redwood Falls in
1906, where they resided for several
years. February Z, 1916 Mr.. Hall
died and about two years later Mrs.
Hall came to Granite Falls to live
with her son, Charles Hail. Here she
resided until her death except for oc-
casional visits to the other children or
in the West.
an her youth she became identified
with the church, and soon after her
marriage she became member OF
the Methodist church. For over thirty
years, she played the organ or lead
the singing in the church, especially
in the early days. Wherever Mr.
Hall conducted church or funeral SER
vices, she assisted him with music by
singing or playing the organ if an
instrument was at hand.
Her characteristics were love and
loyalty to her home, her church and
her friends. To her children she was
generous almost to a fault. Her one
pleasure lay in what she could give
her loved ones rather than what she
would take for herself. She never
forgot a birthday of one of her chill
dren or her grandchildren, and always
sent them some remembrance of it.
Her life was a constant inspiration
for good to them and she offered them
rewards for excellence in their school

His record is satisfactory to all

cludes the securing of many millions
Of dollars for road improvements and

1922 Taxes
Are Decreased
AUDITOR CHASE ANNOUNCES
$1,000 DECREASE FROM
1921.
COUNTY TAX $974,471.s7.
STATE AUDITORS TABLE SHOWS
COMPILATION OF INTEREST
ING TAX FIGURES.

Minnesota taxpayers will pay near
ly $1,0O0,000 less taxes this year than
they did in 1921.
To be specific, taxes levied on the
basis of the 1921 property valuation
and collectable this year, total s115,-
818,877.03 as against $116, ,720, ,461.O3
for the previous year. This is diff
ference of 1901, ,584.00 in favor of the
taxpayers of the state.
Redwood County's contribution to
this tax collection, including the sta
tutory three mill tax on credits or
moneys, will be $974,471.S7. The
average rate of taxation for the coun-
ty, exclusive of special assessments
is .3427 mills. This cover-all sources
of taxation.
The taxable valuation on which
this reduced levy is made is S2,452,-
$50, $40, and here also decrease is
noted. This decrease approximates
s75,oOO,OOO and is explained in larger
part by the omission of motor vehicles
from the personal property valuation.
Heretofore such were vauled and tax
ed the same as other personal pro-
perty, but now they are part of the
good roads revenue Of the state and
are so listed.
Figures compiled by R. P. Chase,
State Auditor, covering tax levies for
the, past two years, their distribution
and the valuation on which they are
based have just been made public and
their study is of vital interest to the
taxpayers of the state. They are
most enlightening since they demon
strate beyond contradiction the source
of the tax burdens and where relief
may be obtained if desired. Briefly
the compilation shows:

credit, recently participated in an economy

other required slight adjustment Of brakes.
Thisis the most convincing demonstration
Of motor car reliability of which we know.
The run was from Los Angeles to Big Bear

ROD AND GUN CLUB MEETS.

Monday evening the Cedar Roo
and Gun Club held its first regular
semi-annual meeting. A report from
the committee on shells indicates that
the club will soon be buying its
ammunition at a very favorable re-
duction from present prices.
After hearing a report from the
committee appointed to investigate
a trap shooting outfit, thee Tub voted
to hove this committee order immed-
lately trap and a supply OF blue
rocks.
Another special committee an.
nounced that Investigations were
started with the idea of procuring
a herd of Elk for Iron County. De-
velopments on this project will be
followed with interest. The board
of directors was ordered to investi-
gate the motor boat project.
At the time the Club was organ
lied the name of "Cedar City Rod
and Gun Club" was temporarily
adopted pending the selection of a
permanent name. At Monday even
ing's meeting list Of about dozen
names was submitted for consider
alton. These names were voted on,
the result of which showed the orig
inal name of "Cedar Rod and Gun
Club" had received more votes than
any other name. The created such
a surprise that motion was made
and carried with only one decentine
to over rule the voting and adopt the
name of "Cedar Fish and Game
Association" for the club. A ques
ton was later raised regarding the
constitutionality of this later action
Until the board Of directors meet
and make a decision on this question
the Club will have two names.
Another important action by the
Club was authorization of chal.
lenge to be sent to the st. George
Gun Club for q rabbit hunt in the
vicinity Of Cedar.

FROM THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.


The first year course in Library
Science given at the B. A. c. under
the direction Of Mrs. A. E. Pettigrew
is already showing marked results by
the increased use of our reference
department of students. With the
more advanced work that will fol-
low next year we shall have grad
yates that will have acquired a
branch of learning that will largely
increase the value of their education
along other lines.

1t is regrettable that so many book
borrowers entertain so little respect
for regulations of places and insti-
tutins. These seeming little delin-
quences may so easily become part
of the traits of our boys and girls
leading into farther !awlessness
which may blemish an otherwise good
name. At this time there are a lot
of books out that should have been
returned some time ago, hence we re-
spcctfully ask the home folks to look
into matters as well as book cases
and insist that all overtime books
be returned at once to the public
library.
Chairmen of Library boards in
some of the larger cities are requir-
ing the City Marshal to call at the
homes and collect the books where
the notices have been ignored. Ogden
recently made a collection of more
than one thousand delinquent vol
umes. We hope we shall not be COM
PEELED to adopt this method.
The end of 1922 is upon us when
our library reports must be sub
mitted to our city and state officials
as we'll as the Carnegie Corporation
Everything pertaining to the insti-
tuition must be accurately accounted
for from all expenditures to every
book purchased, contributed, lost OF
worn out, to encourage those having
over time books we will, beginning
Monday, Dec. l., until Saturday, Dec
20, receive all books returned. with
out asking fines.
