Great Northern Must Pay
Bank Gross Earnings Tax
Attorney General Rules Railroad
Owes State $492,689 From 1908
to 1912 for Hauling Ores 4

st. Paul, Nov. 14-The Great
Northern Railway company is obliged
to pay $492,689 gross earnings tax
from 1903-1912 on iron ore hauled
in Northern Minnesota, the state SUI
preme court held today in affirming
the Ramsey county district court.
Clifford l.. Hilton, state attorney
general, charged that the company
was in arrears in taxes from 1901 to
1912, total amount of approximate
ly $4,000. The lower court, how
ever, did not grant the state taxes on
the years 1901 to May 1, 1902, ex-
Guiding this period on the ground
that the iron ore hauled during that
time was done by the Eastern Rail-
way company, which later came into
possession of the Great Northern. 1t
held that the gross earning taxes were
due the state from 1908 to 1912 on
a basis of 81 per cent of haul in
Minnesota, The haul in question is
from Sanders to the dock and one
mile on the dock, or total of seven
miles.

Governors Deer Hunting
Order Severely Criticised
Does Slaughtered and Cannot Be TAX
en- Out of Itasca County-Bucks
Only Allowed

All of Sank Centre deer hunters
have returned and most of them
brought back their, buck.
A short time before the season
opened Governor Preus issued an
order which closed Itasca county for
the killing of does during this sea-
son. In discussing this order with
the Herald editor yesterday George
Fish and E. A. Richards both severely
condemned it. They state that it is
almost impossible for the average
hunter to tell whether the deer on a
run is doe or a buck and the result
is that the woods of Itasca county
are filled with does which have been
shot but which could not be carried
away because of the order of the gov
ernor. Both gentlemen stated that
one could find a half dozen does
hanging on the north side of many
of the camps in Itasca county, the
residents of that section claiming
they are immune from the Governors
orders.
Messrs Fish and Richards have
been going to the north woods to
hunt for the past twenty years and
are as familiar with the ways of the
deer as most experts. Both are law
abiding sportsmen and both insist that
if this order is in existence for any
number of seasons that it will even
tually mean the determination of the
deer.

Coolidge last night in his first public
utterance since election concerning
the PROBLEMS of the American farm
er shows advance thought on coop
erative marketing, and sustains the
previous contention of the President
that sound economics, not legislation,
is the remedy for agricultural de-
preston. They hold out on the bea-
con of hope to the American farmer.
Commenting today on the address,
Mr.. w. H. Frederick, Secretary of
Minnesota Wheat Growers Co-opera-
tive Marketing Association said eff
the ideas of President Coolidge adj
vocating scientific instruction in the
principles of cooperative marketing
were Immediately effective, and the
truth about cooperative marketing
thus established, the voice of it's OPP
ponents spoken through self-interest
or lack of knowledge would be 81
fenced, and the time would be short
when every product of the farm
would be scientifically marketed
through the farmers own organiza-
ton. President Coolidge is to be con-
graduated for his courageous utter
ance."

President J. B. Schoenhoff has
called the annual meeting of the Ag-
ricultural Society of Stearns County
in the Community Club rooms, SauK
Centre, Wednesday, Nov. 26, at 1880
P. M.
The Stearns County Fair is in a
very critical condition financially.
Sank Centre business men subscribed
for certificates of indebtedness to
clean up the outstanding obligations
three years ago. This debt of $4,000
has not been increased but the earn
ings of the 1924 fair will not permit
the payment of the interest due on
these certificates.
There is sentiment in some
quarters that the fair should be
abandoned, but the Herald believes
this would be calamity as there is
not an agency that is doing as much
to develop the agricultural and live
stock interests of-Stearns county as
the Stearns County Fair.
Several weeks ago a widely adver-
tised afternoon meeting was held in

DRYER BEING INSTALLED

The Minnesota Gas and Mineral
Company, which has a large mari
bed at Little Sank, and which have
been operating the past year on the
semi-dry mari, are installing drying
machine so that the mari will be sold
in the entirely dry stage. The prob
lem of drying the mari has been one
of study, owing to the cost of pro-
duction on the rotary dryer, and
through Mr.. Parker of Sank Centre,
Mr.. Nelson of Little Sank, and Mr..
S. o. Nafziger of Kalamazoo, Michi-
gan, a new patent drying process has
been patented which is simple, and the
cost of drying reduced. The four
units of the dryer are being installed
at the bed now and active operations
will be commenced at once, and no
doubt the Company will have its pro-
ducts on the market in short time

FIREMENpS ANNUAL
DANCE THURSDAY
BIG EVENT OF THE YEAR AT
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AUD
ITORIUM
ENTITLED TO SUPPORT
ANNUAL FIRE LOSSES KEEP AT
LOW MINIMUM BY DEPART.
MENT'S EFFICIENCY

For many years the Sank Centre
Volunteer Fier Department have
given their annual ball on Thanks
giving evening. This years event
will be held on the usual date and
will be given in the Junior High
School Auditorium.
The Sank Centre Fire Department,
although composed of unpaid men is
one of the most efficient in the state.
They are enthusiastic in thir work
their willingness to respond to the
call of duty regardless of the time
of day or night, or weather condi-
lions, has kept the fire losses in this
city to minimum for many years.
1t has been the policy of the de-
partment to. give, each member of
the Department at Christmas time
one dollar for each fire attended dur
ing the year. There has been an UNI
usually large number of fire calls
this year. The only means of reve-
nue. the department has is from the
profits of the annual ball. If the
plans followed at Christmas time for
many years is to be carried out again
this year, it will be absolutely nee
essary for Sank Centre folks to pur
chase tickets more literally than
ever before. There are many citizens
in Sank Centre who never dance but
there is not one who does not owe al
legiance to the Fire Department, and
each and every citizen should buy at
least one ticket for the Thanksgiving
dance.
1t has been the policy of the City
Council to defray the expenses of
several delegates from the Sank Cen
tire Department to the annual meet
ing of the Minnesota Firemen's As
ISOLATION each year. Because of the
heavy expense of the city in the re-
building of the waterworks system,
the installation of the white way and
paving, last year and this, the Fire
Department did not send any dele
gates to the state convention this
year.
George Fish who has been an ac-
tive rmember of the Department for
forty years, has charge of the ticket
sale this year. The general COM
mittee in charge of the dance is
Chief Ben Dubois, George Fish, Al
bert Markson, John Mondloch, and
Roy Scott. Ben Dubois is the COM
mitteeman to secure music and E. A.
Richards and Jos. Kusba will be
floor managers.
The way to greet the ticket COM
mittee is to advance with your right
foot, right hand extended, in the
palm of which will be the necessary
coin of the realm to purchase one or
more tickets. Do this with a smile.

FARM CONDITIONS
GREATLY IMPROVED
A ANNOUNCEMENT SAYS THE AG-
RICULTURAL PROGRAM WILL
BE DROPPED
TO STABILIZE INDUSTRY
COMMISSION WILL
MAKE THOROUGH INVESTI-
CATION AND REPORT

Washington, Nov. 19-Eearly &C.
ton at the coming short session of
congress on farm relief Legislation ap-
peared improbable today in view of
the announcement by farm bloc lead.
ers that agricultural depression has
been somewhat relieved, and the de-
cision of the agricultural commission
named by President Coolidge to in
vestigate and recommend steps for
sterilization of the industry, to re-
cess, after today's session for three
or four weeks.
Representative Tincher, Republi-
can, Kansas, spokesman for the house
farm bloc, announced yesterday af-
ter conference with Senator Curtis,
Republican of the same state that no
effort would be made to press farm
legislation at the impending session
before the presidents commission re-
ports. In the opinion of farm bloc
members, he explained, agriculture
especially in a large section of the
west, has been given sufficient slim
illus to tide the farmer over for the
time being.
Recognizing the immensely of
their task, members of the admins
tration's agricultural commission
have decided that any effort to FORM
ulate a program to provide lasting
prosperity for the farmer would be
time wasted until official statistics on
all phases of the question could be
prepared to guide them. Every
agency of the government charged
with administration of farm regula-
ton, the gathering of production and
market statistics, financing and trans
portation has been asked to compile
the desired information for the COM
mission and it will reassemble as
soon as the data is ready.
While the work of the commission
is expected by Chairman Carey of
Wyoming, to carry its activities past
March A when the present congress
expires, emergency problems are to
be disposed of as quickly as possible
to permit legislative action in accord
ance with the wishes of President
Coolidge, without undue delay. With
this purpose in mind, the cattle in
dustry, described by the commission
ers being in depressed condition"
is to be given first consideration.
In addition to the statistics re-
quested by the commission it will con-
slider all existing laws and pending
bills affecting agriculture tariff prob
lens, reclamations, quarantine regu-
lation, foreign competitor, public pol
icies, waterpower, federal aid and
farm Standardization methods.
