The attorneys have been keeping
the probate judge busy, especially the
last week, on legal questions, such as
what is a counter claim and set-off,
and when can one or the other be set
up as defense to an action, if ever
out of contract or tort.
Also when does the doctrine of res
ipsa loquitur apply in an action of
negligence?" Such matters have con-
cerned the attorney and the probate
court the past week. The legal ques
tions are settled by the court before
a case is set for trial. in fact, some
times the case then never goes to
trial Which goes to show that a
probate judge needs to have a legal
education and judicial mind.

FRUIT MOVING MORE
RAPIDLY NOW
Supply of Cars More PIenti-
fuI-Prunes Near End
Apples Next Week

With a more abundant supply of
refrigerator cars being received, En-
mett's fruit crop is moving to market
in great volume now. The prune sea-
son will end this week, the Elberta
peaches are practically all gone, few
cars Of Orange Clings are being pack
ed-and then the way will be cleared
for the apples. The first car of Jona-
thans is being loaded today by the
Fruit Association. They are being
packed in bushel baskets and pre-
sent a pretty sight. But apple pack
ing wM not be on in earnest until next
week The Fruit Association on Tues
day had the unusual experience of
employing three distinct sets of pack
ers- one in the basement packing
prunes, another upstairs packing pea
ches, and still another, on the south
platform packing apples.
Returns from prunes and peach
shipments are coming in on the first
cars sent out. j. R. Field received
$1.10 gross for car of peaches. The
Fruit Union reports S35 ton to the
growers for prunes, and from SIS to
$40 for peaches. Manager Guy Day
ton one day last week received five
letters from as many different deal
ers in eastern distributing points,
praising the pack his house sent out.
Manager Emil Dean is proud of the
packing crew he has had this year. |
He is especially proud of two, Mrs. |
Conda Wilson and Miss Letha Faull, |
who made splendid averages on pea
ches, the former packing 226 day, |
and the latter PIG.
The local trade this season has been !
enormous and it would be difficult to |
estimate the quantity of fruit bought |
at the orchard by people living in
counties The trade
started with sweet cherries, then fol-
lowed with apricots, prunes and
peaches. One orchardist sold $500 |
worth of sweet cherries to those who
came to his orchard. Three Sundays |
ago, = B Shaw sold 500 worth of I
peaches at retail right at his orchard.
Mr.. Shaw's peach crop amounted to

WOMEN WOULD BE
FIREMEN
Petition City Council to Train Them
to Fight Fires.

On Friday, Sept. Is, the second re-
gular meeting of the Women's Bet
terment club was held at the club
house with 18 members present. The
playground committee reported that
nothing had been done during the
month of August The benches, seats
and tables that were all completed
except being painted were entirely
destroyed by the fire. The swings and
see-saws will be finished Immediately
and two slides ordered for next spring
and summer. Because the fire during
the afternoon showed up in such
dismaying light and emphasized the
inadequate fire protection of the
homes in Riverside addition, COM
mittee was appointed to meet with
the city council and submit the fol-
lowing proposition:
Since all of the men are at work
during the day time the hose cart
placed in Riverside addition by the
city is absolutely of no benefit unless
the women become familiar with its
use. Therefore, the Women's Better
ment Club, representing Riverside
addition, wish to form a hose cart
brigade with regular drill in getting
out and connecting the hose ready for
use. By this drill they could have a
stream of water on burning build
ing before the big hose cart arrived"
After the business meeting, represh
ments and short musical program
we're enjoyed. The next regular meet

lay of the month, and since it is an

N. j. TAX VALUE
OVER $l3,0OO,O0O
TWO THIRDS OF WEALTH OF
CITY NORTH OF CENTER
STREET LINE.

Assessor Julius Krause has given
the Reuieqc the figures showing the high
lights in the valuation put on New
Ulm property, real and personal, for
taxation purposes, totaling $13,455,-
965. This total also includes the
moneys and credits.
As it is we'll known fact that valua-
tion for assessment purposes is always
fixed very conservatively, the market
value of all property, real and personal,
in the city Of New Ulm is probably in
the neighborhood of twenty-five mil
lion dollars.
$1,572,5 Exempt.
Churches, hospitals, schools and
other educational institutions, includ-
ing the Turner Hall, are exempt from
taxation. This class of property in
New Ulm is valued at $1,572,596 by
the assessor. '
Real estate north of Center is valued
at $2,499,312. The personal property
OF the entire city is valued at $2,486,-
1888 and the moneys and credits as re-
ported to the assessor totals $949, ,054
$4,5S8,s58 Taxed.
Although the full value of all real
estate, personal property and moneys
and credits in New Ulm totals $13,-
455,965, only $4,59S,95S is taxed, or a
little more than one-third of the full
valuation as given by the assessor. AS
shown above, a million and half
dollars worth of property is exempt
from taxation as class. Each tax
payer is allowed a certain amount of
property tax exempt and some classes
of property is assessed on two thirds
and three-fourths of full value. Moneys
and credits are assessed in full, but the
rate is very low on this class of proper
ty. r...
Automobiles Licensed.
Automobiles do not figure in the
personal property tax lists since the
passage of the Babcock amendment
under which. taxes on automobiles
are now paid in the form of auto
licenses. This large block OF property
being removed from the personal
property class, it has been necessary
to tax other personal property higher
to make up for the loss Of personal
property tax on. automobiles. In this
Wav. the man who has no automobile is
still paying his share in the Babcock
road system. - .-s .g@2 K

Title Misleading, Says Court.
"The object of the constitutional
requirements as to the title of laws
is to apprise legislators and others Of
the objects covered by the proposed
law, so that timely examination and
objection may be made. The most
careful study of the titles of the
original law and the titles of all
amendments thereto would, however,
wholly fail to- inform anyone. that the
act of 1921 was an act to fix clerk
hire in counties having an assessed
valuation Of over rs and less than
40 million dollars. The subject
legislated upon, so far as the various
titles of amendments are concerned,
is most successfully concealed. Be-
cause of the defective title thereof,
this latest amendment should not be
held valid law, and if invalid, it
will of course, have no effect as to
repeating any prior law

Shipstead Must Be Elected.
/ Henrik Shipstead, the progressive
candidate, said Mr.. Baldus, must be
elected over Kellogg in Minnesota, as
Frazier was nominated over Nc
Cumber in North Dakota and Brock
hart won over a reactionary in Iowa,
Pinchot in Pennyslvania and Beveridge
in Indiana. Mr.. Baldus declared
that the nomination of Frazier in
North Dakota was the greatest pro-
gressive victory in American politics
for many, many years. He showed
that as result of Frazier's defeat Of
McCumber, Follette, the sturdy
and true progressive Of Wisconsin, is
one step nearer the craftsmanship of
the Senate Finance committee, the
most powerful committee in the Senate
with a good prospect of landing the
Craftsmanship inside Of another year.
Organize" Says Baldu..
In closing, Mr.. Baldus urged the
farmers to perfect their organization
and stand together. Just at the time
that some of our farmers were at the
point Of giving up, thinking that they
had tried everything without avail,
tired of the job Of trying to win when
things looked impossible just as they
were about to give up hope, many Of
them, come the news of these victories
in other states. Minnesota farmers
should take this encouragement and
buckle down to still greater efforts.
If it is possible to win in such old re-
dictionary states as Pennsylvania and
Indiana, if Iowa has been able to re-
turn to progrssiveness after several
years Of reactionary backsliding, if the
Nonpartisan League, which has been
killed and buried. SO many many times
in North Dakota, was able to stage a
comeback by the & non:ination Of
Frazier over Met Cum Der to the United
States Senate at the primary election
Minnesota farmers should show their
mettle and stick to win.

speech. z 4
