Taxpayers of Minnesota tc
be Saved $2,5OO,OOO in
1923 State Taxes
GENERAL REVENUE TAX
OMITTED SECOND TIME
State Funds in Excellent
Condition, According to
Auditors Reports

A reduction of over 81, 500, 900 in
the 1923 state tax s annunced by
State Auditor Ray P. Chase.
This means that the Taxpayers of
Minnesota will be saved an amount
equivalent to over one dollar for
every, man, woman and child in the
state.
Announcement Of the state rate for
1928 has just been made by the
State Auditor coincident with CERT
ficaton of the coming levy to the
eghty-six county auditors and the
figure he has fixed is in accordance
with the recommendation of the
Governor and the cordial support of
the State Treasurer and members OF
the Tax Commission.
The state rate for 1922 collcctablc
in 1928, will be 4.1S mills, which
is less than last years low mark and
little more than half of the 1919 tax.
Last year for the first time in the
states history the tax levy for gen.
eral revenue purposes was omitted
entirely and that in a year when other
states found it necessary to impose
unusually high levies.
, This year Minnesota repeats and
for the second time since admitted
to statehood, does away with direct
tax for purely state purposes.
Asa result, the taxpayers burdens
are proportionately lighter and the
running expenses fthe state gov
eminent will be cared for by the
receipts from the gross earning ;as
on corporations, inheritance taxes
fees from various departments

Consumption in Northwest
Might Well Be Increased
States Spud Expert
IDEA IN KEEPING WITH
POTATO BUYING DRIVE
Declares People Would Be
Better off Physically
and Financially

(By F. Benz, potato expert and az
ricultural agent, Northern Pacific
Railway
People should eat more potatoes -
for good health's sake, for lower liv-
ing costs. for their own good and the
good of the northwest.
Today, in the northwest, potatoes
are plentiful They can be purchased
at low cost. I believe it is sound
advice for us to largely increase our
use Of potatoes not only at the pies
ent time but consistently and con-
tinually in the future.
If the consumption Of the potatoes
in the world were quadrupled, the.
result would be saving of thousands
of lives annually, and comparatively
less amount of suffering. The cost
of living, would be materially re-
duced, and everyone would be hap
pier.
The potato, the worlds greatest
and most beneficial food crop, is
comparatively little known the world
over and still less appreciated. 1t
is a remarkable product Of the soil.
The known production reaches the
enormous quantity Of five billion
bushels
In it's wild state, it grows in the
region of the Rocky Mountains, and
in South America, in the Andes
Mountains.
The exact early date of its intro
duction into Spain and Italy from
Peru is not known. In 1886 Sir
Walter Raleigh introduced it into
England. From thence it was dis

WAR IS REFUSED
GE0oEs REPLIES TO REQUEST
ON TWELvE.MILE
LIMIT.
PROPOSAL IS REJECTED
ENGLISH AMBASSADOR SAYS
THREE.MlLE LAW SHOULD
NOT BE CHANGED.

Washington.-British rejection Of
the American proposal for treaty to
extend the right Of search Of vessels
up to twelve miles off shore was con-
tanned in note handed to Secretary
Hughes by Ambassador Geddes. The
communication was in reply to Mr..
Hughes note Of June 20, setting out
difficulties encountered by American
prohibition enforcement officers in
checking the Illicit flow Of intoxicants
into the United States.
Secretary Hughes made public his
correspondence with the ambassador
without comment. There was nothing
to indicate that any further step to
extend the right of search for Amerl-
can prohibition officers beyond the
three-mile limit was in prospect
Action Of the cabinet recently In APP
proving the abandonment of such
search presumably because of posi-
bic international difficulties, coupled
with the British reply, appeared to in
dicate that operations would continue
to be confined within recognized terri
toral waters.
The American note dealt particular
ly with smuggling operations from
British possessions in waters adjacent
to the American coast, and suggested
methods by which the existing ex-
tremely unfortunate conditions might
be remedied."
Among these was proposal for
careful supervision of registries and
clearance papers granted to suspected
vessels and IAN international agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain under which the author
tiles Of each nation would be author
lied to exercise beyond the three-mile
limit of territorial waters u measure
of control over vessels belonging to the
other"
There was appended an inquiry as
to whether the British government was
disposed to agree to the reciprocal
right of search up to twelve miles
from shore, which, it was pointed out,
would imply no inconvenience to the
legitimate trade between Nassau and
Halifax passing ut no point within four
leagues Of American shores.
In reply Ambassador Geddes pointed
out that his government had already
taken steps before Mr.. Hughes note
was received to prevent the practices
as to registry issuance and clearance
papers to which attention had been
drawn. These steps had been supple
mented since then, he added, and the
British government hoped that the
measures taken will prove successful
in preventing any breaches in the local
law"
With relation to the proposed treaty,
however, he said: His majesty's
government has consistently opposed
any extension of the limit of terrltor
ial waters such as that now suggested
They feel that the outbreak of snug
Cling which has led to the proposal
cannot be regarded as a. permanent
condition, but as one which will no
doubt be suppressed by the United
States authorities within the not dis.
tant future.

Does this smoker

He says the best pipe of the
day Is the first one

A smoker from GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
who prefers to conceal his identity

that the after-breakfast pipe is far and
away the best pipe Of the day.
"Of course" writes AK, ct

l couldn't get much joy out Of a pipe
after getting up from burnt oatmeal,
bad coffee, and soggy toast. But after
one Of the breakfasts my wife can turn
out, that's different!
"Then when l step out on the porch
and light up the old pipe, l very nearly
approach the pinnacle Of my day. As
I figure it, one puff after breakfast Is
worth a dozen pufs after dinner.
Somehow the tobacco has q flavor

RECALL PICKET DECISION.

Washington, Nov. Io.-A stock dividend of 18 per cent by American Steel Foundries recalls the recent an ti-picketing decision by the United States supreme court .l.-
 American Steel Foundries is New Jersey corporation and cut wages at it's Granite City, H., plant The workers struck and the company se- cured an injunction from Federal Judge Humphrey, who outlawed pick eting and declared that the Granite City central bodyis an illegal organ ization. This stone-age ruling was reversed by the federal court of ap- peals. The company carried the case to the United States supreme court, which ruled, in effect, that picketing will be permitted if done under the eye of the court. Chief Justice Taft suggested that one picket at each factory gate should be sufficient.
