A COLOSSAL

During the boom period after the war, when the Hboost-
err was abroad in the land, and it was almost a crime to be
conservative, there were many new additions plated to the
City of ST. Cloud. Among them are: Colonial Gardens, Roose-
welt Place, Woodland s Addition, First. Addition to North
Side Park, Pans Second Addition and Elm Park Addition.
Prior to the plating, the lands had been assessed for sewer
and water mains, the assessments being spread on the lands
as acre property. When the plats were presented to the City
Commissioners then sitting, it was their duty to demand an
abstract showing good title free Of encumbrances, SO that the
purchasers of the lots in the plated district would not buy
encountered property. It now appears that the Commission
did not insist on these assessments for sewer and water
mains being paid, but allowed themselves to be persuaded to
approve the plats, with the assessments as underlying liens,
on the naked promise Of the persons presenting the plats
that they would take care Of the assessments as they became
due.
Since then many lots have been sold to good faith purchas-
es, who relied on the presumption that the Commission had
proceeded according to law and that the premises were clear
Of liens. It now develops that the promises made to the
Commission have not been kept, the underlying liens for
special assessments have not been paid, and each lot Is en-
numbered for the full amount Of the unpaid assessments.
These purchasers cannot pay the the taxes for the coming
year, unless they take care Of the special assessments which
were laid on the land as acre property There is no way that
these assessments can be parcelled out over the lots without
some legislation at the approaching session Of the legislature.
Something must be done to save the people who have bought

CUT IN COUNTY TAXES.

In spite Of the fact that the valua-
tion Of property in Stearns County
has been reduced one million and a
half dollars, the tax rate for the coun-
ty for 1923 has been reduced from
1O.17 mills, the rate for 1922, to, 9.72
mills, the rate for 1928. At the same
time the state rate Of 4.29 mills has
been reduced. to 4.18 mills. Both the
state and the. county are calling on
the taxpayers for less money for
running expenses during the coming
year.. On the other hand, while this
reduction in state and county rates
may reduce the taxes in some locali-
ties, in many others the local town and
school district tax rates have been in
creased so that the total amount Of tax
to be paid by the individual will be a.
high if not slightly higher than for
last year.
The city Of St. Cloud will have a
material reduction in taxes to pay in.
1928. With the state and county re-
duction comes a reduction in the city
rate as we'll as the school district rate,
making the total tax reduction in the
city 8 mills.
The reduced county rate is Of. spe-
cial note, due to the fact that farm
land valuations in the county have
been reduced a million and a half by.
the assessors, who felt that the valu-
atoms Of the past few years were a
result of the period Of inflated values.
If valuations had remained at their
former level the county rate would be
materially reduced still further.

Argentina Wheat Crop of 4 Millior
Tons Seen.

Buenos Aires.-Argentina will ex-
port approximately 100000 metric
tons of wheat of the 1922 crop, It was
estimated on basis Of official govern
ment figures.
This will compare with the 100000
tons available for EXPORT, from the
1922 crop and less than 100000 from
the 1921 yield.
The. crop is reported to be generally
normal despite pessimistic fears of
damage by hail and rust in several
districts.
The large export supplies will find
a ready market, experts agreed.
The correctness Of government es-
Inmates of the 1928 crop has been
questioned in some quarters, but gen
orally accepted by most authorities.

RELIEF. 4

Prospects fof:congressional action to-
relieve conditions in the farming in
dustry are getting better, DR.. Henrik
S~hipstead, senator-elect from Mime
sofa, said when he returned from
Washington.
people Of the east have not taken
the stories about depression in the
farming industry seriously" he said.
"They are just beginning to get an
inkling Of what We are up against in
this section Of the country. The out
look for relief is more favorable"
DR.. Shipstead spoke Of his interview
with members Of the interstate com-
merce commission on the car shortage.
II learned there that 80 percent Of
the engines Of the country are out Of
commission" he said. ut appears to
be largely a question Of motive power.
/ pointed out that many of the rail
road executives last summer refused
to settle with striking employees who
were willing toacon1e back. By SO do
ing they prolonged the controversy
and were left without sufficient skilled
men to keep their equipment up.
"The commissioners said they would
investigate. They seld, however, that
they have no power to compel the rail-
roads to take back men,"
DR.. Shipstead declined to discuss the
Pierce Butler appointment, which is to
come up for hearing before a senate
subcommittee.
II was before the committee in eve
cutive session." he said, "and while
the case is pending | do not think il
proper to discuss it. / asked the com
mittee to hear direct testimony from
witnesses showing whether Mr.. Butler
is Of the judicial temperament that is
desirable in a justice Of the supreme
court"

conscious and the other three badly
bruised and stunned, and a demolished
automobile, was the result of an au-
tomobile accident which occurred

The car skidded on the slippery road
and headed for the ditch, where it's
downward progress was intercepted
by a tree. John O'Conner Of this city

three other occupants, Matt Frank, j.
F. Lloyd, and a fourth man whose

Report Business Good.

st. Cloud has been a mecca for
shoppers living within a wide radius
during the past few days, and mer-
chants report business better than
normal for this season Of the year. The
demands at the toy counter have been
reported especially heavy and it looks
like a big year for the kids when San

these lots from serious inconvenience and loss, and we trust
that the present Commission will present the situation to
Senator Sullivan and Representative Pattison and urge them
to try and get some remedial legislation passed which will
allow these assessments to be relieved and parcelled out or
extended over the lots as plated.
The officers to whom these assessments have been cert-
fed, Of course, have no power to make any changes. That
power can only come from the legislature.
Now that Andy Gump has been counted out, reports come
in from all sections Of the country of votes that were never
counted for him. What kind Of an election was this anyway?
We are beginning to feel like a Bolshevist.
Now is the time to go out with>a club after the person
who coughs into the open air, or into your face if you happen
to be near. There is no more effective way to spread coughs,
colds, consumption and pneumonia, than by coughing into the
faces of others, or into the open ali, or even into the hand.
The latter will transmit the germs by Misunderstanding or by
handling anything that is likely to be handled by others. The
decent way is to cough into your handkerchief, and always
have a clean one about you.
We extend to all of our readers and friends our. best
wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May
the coming year bring to all Of you the fullest measure Of
success and happiness!

Wheeler Twists Words of Harding,
Says Wet.

Says Wet.
Washington, D. C.-Eforts by W.
B.. Wheeler, general counsel Of the An
tisaloon league, to interpret sections
of President Harding's message deal
ing with prohibition as an unqualified
Endorsement Of the Volstead act were
criticized here by Captain H. H. Stay
ton, founder and executive head Of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment.
Il any fair minded person, it is
obvious that in the presidents mes
sage the question Of the e~nforceability
Of the present fanatical Volstead act
is definitely raised. It is also equally
clear that Mr.. Harding indicated the
possibility as we'll as the unquestioned
right Of congress to modify the pre-
sent federal enforcement legislation.
1F,ar more than the prohibition am
endment itself, Volsteadism represents
the stranglehold Of the Antisaloon
forces on the national legisla-
ture.. To say or imply that the presi-
dents message is an Endorsement Of
Volsteadism is a willful distortion Of
his words"

the Importance Of which cannot be

PURE BRED STOCK.

st. Cloud has played the roll OF host
to a number Of blue blooded guests
during the past few days. Owing to
the crowded condition Of the hotels as
we'll as to the unexplainable prejudice
on the part Of the management, quar-
tiers for the visitors had to be secured
outside, and the lobby Of the Farmers
State Bank, and Ladner's Hardware
Store, have housed two members of
the gentler sex, while the cold Boy
himself has been quartered at Estey'e
stables. The guests are of the four
legged variety; pure bred Holsteins
shipped here by a recently organized
sales and service agency, which is
stocking a number of the farms in this
locality with high grade breeding
stock. D. J. Voth, A. E. Blazer of
this city and H. E. Bailey of River
Falls, Wisconsin, are the promoters
of the new organization, and the cat.
tie on exhibition at the local business
institutions are their first shipment to
arrive.
While Holstein breeders are shout
ing the praises Of their favorite breed,
the Guernsey breeders association is
also actively engaged in the promotion
of a Guernsey boom in Stearns
ty. A number of Guernsey breeders
met at Kimball on Thursday last and
held an enthusiastic meeting, during
which there were optimistic predic-
tions of the future Of the Guernsey.
