THE HIGH STATE TAX RATE
Minneapolis Journal)

State Auditor Ray p. Chase will
announce the State tax rate on Thurs
day, the first day of October being
the date set by law for the announce
ment. He makes no secret of the
fact that the rate is bound to be con-
siderably higher than last years
rate Of 5.78 mills. Indeed, anyone
can sit down with pencil and paper
and, by dividing the assessed valu-
alton of property in Minnesota by
the money required, and adding to it
the statutory rate of ~ mills for
fixed purposes, arrive at a close esti-
mate.
The explanation lies IN the fact
that the Legislature, meeting every
two years, does not appropriate its
appropriations equally between the
halves of the biennium. The last
Legislature appropriated 1926 mil
lion dollars, but less than million
of this amount was made available in
1925. while nearly 20 millions were
assigned to 1926. The receipts this
year from corporation, Inheritance.
occupation and ropalty taxes, plus
the receipts from various fees and
licenses. amounted to under ID mil
lions. They will probably not be
over Is million next year. Thus
there is a matter of seven millions
to raise by direct State taxes in
1926.
And, as Mr.. Chase points out,
Governor Christianson prevented the
rate from being the highest in State
history by his veto of nearly two mil
lioEs of the last Legislatures appro-
priations.
There is no mystery about why the
Legislature fails to divide it's APP
preparations more evenly between
the years of the biennium. The even
years are the political years, those
in which National and State cam
paigns are held. The iax rate has
to be announced October LIST, about
month before election day in the
even years. The favorable effect of
on the eve of election, is point not
likely to be overlooked by Legisla-
tors eager for reelection. The cor
respondingly high rate announced in
the off years, it is calculated, will
be forgotten before voting time comes
again.
Would it not be better for the Leg
islature to adopt policy of frankness,
and to divide the appropriations as
nearly equally as possible between
the two years, SO that the State tax
rate would not vary so greatly?
This years high rate is certainly
embarrassing to Minneapolis, whose
taxing authorities, do the best they
can. will be obliged to announce a
total rate for State, County and City,
several mills higher than last year.

SHOP EARLY-MAM EARLY

If Postmaster General New has
his way about it, Christmas Day this
year is going to be the biggest and
the best for all the employees of the
postal service and especially for the
eVer-faithful letter carriers.
He has issued orders to pOstmas-
ters throughout the country that
their offices will be closed all day
Christmas except for the dispatch of
special delivery letters and parcels
and special handling letters and par
cells.
In order that the vast army of
carriers and clerks may enjoy
Christmas Day to the fullest extent
with their families and friends, the
cooperation of every man, woman
and child in the United States will
be necessary.
Under the leadership Of the Post
master General, a campaign is now
under way throughout the country to
instill into the minds of everybody
the necessity for shopping and mail
ing early in order that there will be
as little congestion at the post offices
as possible during Christmas week
and in order that both the sender
and receiver of gifts and remem-
brances may reap the happiness that
is contemplated by such an exchange
of presents.
Once more the Post Office Depart
ment urges the American public to
do it's Christmas shopping and mail
ing early. If the shopping is done
now the buyer gets just what he or
she wants and if the gift is mailed
before December Is it is sure to
reach it's destination in plenty Of
time before Christmas Day.
The Post Office Department is
now in the midst of its shop early, !
mail early campaign. All the Off
cials of the Department, starting |
with Postmaster General New, are
determined that the thousands of |
letter carriers and clerks employed
by Uncle Sam are entitled and are
going to have the very merriest and
happiest Christmas Day this year in

In a Chicago address, recently
DR.. C. W. Larson, Chief of the
United States Bureau of Dairying
made a plea for greater production
per COW rather than an increase in
the number of COWS.
The average COW in the United
States yields annually only about
1000 pounds of milk Of which 2.79o
is butterfat.
Careful breeding and elimination
by test in the milk herd makes an
increase to 5000 pounds of milk an
nually per COW not impossible with
the average dairyman. This would
net the milk produced $500 above
feed cost per COW as compared with
the present average of only $4,000.
Membership in a cow-testing as
sociation and the maintenance of
herd records are extremely desira-

The Postmaster General was en-
abled to take the course he did as a
result of the success of early mail
ing campaigns conducted in past
years through the press and the
movies" and over the radio, which
had the effect of moving the peak of
holiday mailing back far enough to
justify the experiment.
Officials of the Department who
are watching the experiment closely
have the utmost confidence that it
will god through without hitch and
that Christmas Day of the future
will be day of rest for the postman
and the postal clerk.
To accomplish this purpose-and
it is believed a laudable one-the
American public must mail holiday
tokens and greetings in time for de-
livery at least before the close of
business, December "a.
If there is any appreciable mail
left over for delivery on December
26, it will initiate against the
chances Of postal workers for a sim
liar holiday in 1926.

be wide and deep. A good gutter is
16 inches to 1S inches in width and
9 or 10 inches below the platform.
Bedding should be clean and plen-
teous.
Long hair on the tanks, udders
and tail above the switch of the
dairy cow should be removed at
regular intervals. Removing this
long hair removes the clinging places
of dirt which otherwise will fall into
the milk pail in quantities. Keeping
the hair short on these parts of the
cow permits cleaning in much less
time and more thoroughly. Brush
ing should never be neglected. It
removes loose particles sticking to
the body. When the hair is short,
wiping the udders with damp cloth
just before milking, is an easy and
important aid in securing clean milk.
1t is generally recognized that
most Of the bacteria found in milk
finds it's source in dirt clinging to
the cow and dropping into the pail
during milking time. Simple pre-
cautions will practically eliminate
this source of bacterial growth and
dairymen find themselves we'll re-
paid for the little time necessary in
taking such precautions.

I
With this end in view, the Post
master General is urging on every
man, woman and child in the United
States the absolute necessity for
shopping and mailing early and Of
ten. Only through the heartiest and
most nationwide cooperation on
the part of the general public will
the letter carrier and postal clerk be
permitted to enjoy Christmas Day
with his family and his friends
as all other American citizens will
be doing.
Attention of the public is called
to the fact that if you leave your
Christmas shopping until the very
last minute you get what other peo-
pie have left. There is no selection
of gifts from which to make your
purchases.
And it is likewise true that if you
put off your mailing until the very
last minute, the congestion that al
ways takes place at Christmas time
will be bound to delay the prompt
delivery of your gifts on the day in
tended by the sender.
To insure that your remembrances
will be in the hands of your friends
make your purchases early and turn
them over to the employees of the
postal sernive not later than Decem-
ber IS. By doing so you will be hap
py and those for whom they are in
tended will have nothing to interfere
with their happiness and Joy at
Yuletide.
Widespread approval has greeted
the recent announcement of the
Postmaster General that there will
be no mail deliveries on Christmas
Day.
Almost without exception the Am
erican public has agreed with the
inherent justice of the ruling which |
gives to the army of postal employ
ees some Of the holiday privileges
enjoyed by others, but so long de-
MED them.
OF course the ruling applies only
to the coming Christmas, being in
the nature of an experiment, the
success or failure of which will de-
.ermine the procedure next year.

Dairy Cow Efficient Food Producer

FTOpeTty Ohttt 6tQttS Gus QOUn WOIF .
With increasing rentals and val
ues of farm lands, dairy farming is
rapidly replacing other types of
producing 5000 pounds of milk a
year furnishes 1000 pounds of dry
matter, all of which is edible and
digestible. A two year old steer
weighing between 1900 and 1900
pounds furnishes about $50 pounds
of dry matter, not all of which can
be used for food. In other words a
fairly good producing dairy COW
furnishes twice as much edible dry
matter in one year as a good two
year old steer when he is killed for
meat. A COW can be kept for addi-
tional years of service, while to re-
place the stGsr, another animal
must be fed for a period of two
years.
The United States consumption of
milk per capita has increased from
AZ gallons of whole milk in 1918
to more than 81 gallons in 1925.
With growing acceptance of milk
as a food has come an increasing
knowledge of the proper care of
milk on the farm. Because odors
from foods and animals in the cow
stable are easily taken up by milk,
come in contact with the milk. Re-
moval of the milk from the stable
as soon as possible reduces the
amount of dust and dirt entering it
and keeps down the bacterial growth
in the milk.
Bacteria increase rapidly in warm
milk causing it to sour quickly. Re-
moval Of the animal heat from
freshly drawn milk by lowering the
temperature to that of cold well
water approximately 6O' F.),
greatly aids in preventing bacterial
growth. A well lighted, well venti-
lated milk house, not too close to
the stable, is also very helpful.
Cleanliness in the stable is vitality
necessary. The stall platform should
be just long enough for the COW to
stand comfortably without room to
spare; otherwise, the cow will be-
come dirty from droppings when
she lies down. The gutter should
