A recent report of $7,157,5OO tax

"Kisses are the test of mans af-

conservation of her love. She likes
to be made to feel that his demon
strations of ardor arise out of his
heart and not his mere emotions.
"Men, as rule, fail to make this
distinction. They allow their emo

kisses under this spur lack the gentle
ness and tenderness which, to wo-
man, is mark of true affection. !"

ST. PAUL LETTER

Saint Paul, Minnesota, March 81
Especial Correspondence Minneso-
ta's biennial barrage of proposed anw
and revised laws has ended. Now
comes the strenuous business of rae
ing to the wire with measures that
ust-simply must-be put through
before the stroke of midnight April
%.
From this stage Of the proceedings
no one will be able to get bill in
troduced in either branch of the leg
islature unless it is accompanied by a
special request in the form of let
ter from Governor Christensen. AND
the Governor has sent word around
that only bills of utmost Importance
have chance in the world to wheed-
lie letter of recommendation out of
| him.
Meanwhile, Senator Boylan of Vir-
ginia, mad as only Senator Boylan
can get because the Governor veoted
local salary increases, has introduced
bill proposing to reduce the pay of
the states chief executive from ST.
900 to 81, 500 per annum.
Whereby Senator Boylan has once
more brought up the vital question
of high class officials and low salar-
les. Governor Christensen is GER
tainly high class official and ST.
900 per annum is certainly low
enough as salaries go (the mayor of
Minneapolis gets $1,000, by the way)
so that any attempt to cut it in half
will not be taken seriously, even by
Senator Boylan.
However, the mere introduction of
the bill serves to put the senator
from Virginia on record and to in
form the Governor as to his personal
feelings in the matter of local salary
increases. Having done this, Senator
Boylan cannot hope to accomplish
much more.
There are now several hundred bills
on general orders in both the Senate
and the House, so say nothing of the
usual generous proportion of special
orders.
Anyone, therefore, who is interest
ed in bill that is on neither general
nor special orders may as well put
it in moth balls for two years and go
into training for an early start when
the legislature meets again.

lmburSe the average car owner in
the amount of his tax and yield him
gains afterward. Conditions on the
most used roads in the state, it adds,
are dependent entirely upon motor
vehicle tax receipts.
But the bulletin is given mainly to
official rate book reductions in Min
nesota motor vehicle taxes. The first
decrease was that to less than SIT
state lieu tax, which took the place
of the personal property and license
fees averaging nearly $40. While
auto tax rates have been raised to
"a per cent from 2 per cent, the
taxes have been reduced as car prices
cropped and allowances for deprecia-
ton were increased.
Only the SIP minimum has re-
NAMED unchanged, and that because
of insistence that the use of Mime
sCta roads is worth not less than 81
a month to any car owner, and fur
tier the fact that each 81 of cut in
the minimum would cut upwards of
S25O,OO0 off the fund for needed
highway betterments.
l. is held different story now
ever, with the higher priced cars.
Although there was an increase to
2 3-4 from 2 per cent in the rate,
reductions in automobile prices have
lowered the taxes. The Dodge 1925
touring car is taxed $24. 20 this year
while the 1921 model was taxed
$40. 70 that year; the Buick tax is
SOB. against $35. 80 on the respec-
tive models the years they were new;
the Studebaker $37.13 against S43:
the Packard $1OO.38 against S12O.
and the Pierce-Arrow $144 SO against
$3.50.
More important reductions result
from the depreciation discount of
10 per cent annually, in place of 25
per cent after 3 and SO per cent af-
ter five years as formerly. The tax
this year on Dodge touring cars is
$22.15 on the 1924 model, $3.50 on
1923 models; $17.23 on 1922 models
and the 1921 models take the SIS
minimum. On Buick touring cars it
is $34.53 on 1924, $31.57 on 1923.
S27. 62 on 1922 and $23.68 on 1921
models. On Packards touring cars
the tax is $9O.34 on 1924, 5000 on
1928; S74.11 on 1922 and $63.53 on
1921 models.
Greater tax reductions resulting
from the lO per cent annual deprec-
1atlon discounts running up to seven
years are shown on taxes on 1921
cars, which were taxed the same in
1923 as in 1922 but lower in 1924
and still less this year. The 1921
Dodge that paid $3.50 in 1922 and
again in 1923, paid 1864 last wear
and is taxed the SIS minimum this
year; The 1921 Buick taxed at s35-
~ the two years following paid S23
last year and $19.72 this year. The
model Packard taxed at SGT the two
years following and Stall last year
pays only $63.53 this year.

The Department of State, the De-
partment of Commerce and great
American industrial interests are
watching with keen interest the strug--
gle between foreign nations and
American capital for the concession
to operate the great Manganese de-
post, the Caucasus Mountains in the
Soviet Republic of Georgia. 1t is one
of the great plums now before the
business world and around it world
affairs will eventually evolve. This
is explained by the fact that the Rus
sian Soviet is using these natural de-
posts of a mineral highly essential to
the manufacture of steel for the ex-
ploitation of political purposes.
There is a verse written by a gov
eminent official recently which says:
81 am steel! Man is my master; l am
his master servant; l await his COM
mand to create new eras."
The Hartman Banking Company,
of New York, is the leading contend
er for the concession. Assisted by
their government, financial houses in
France, England and Germany, are
biding for the Manganese. The Har-
riman outfit is the best financially,
but of no political advantage to the
Soviet. The Bolshevik leaders are
hopeful that the negotiations for this
mineral may favorably influence the
American government in order to
obtain formal recognition. The chanc-
es are against any favorable action by
the American government until polit-
ical conditions are changed materially
in Russia.

in making the lives of the former sol

the American Legion by those who

help the disabled. He was ably back

WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial to Sank Cenrre Herald)

Washington, April with the
legislative branch of the government
away from town for a long period
the Administration is proceeding at
even keel. All major political dis
turbances have quieted down with
pleasing results.
The time of the President is taken
up for nearly an hour each day re-
Geiving the hundreds of school chill
dren and visitors. 1t is a spectacle
of democracy that impresses foreign
visitors.
Generally, the significance of a
mere hasty handshake is magnifed
when the citizen returns to his or
her home town. The imagination
plays an important part in the presen-
tation to the President of the United
States. When young and old relate
the incident to the folks they like to
appear as a special advisor to the
Chief Executive. The conventional
phrase pleased to meet you, Mr..
President" which is uttered politely,
with variations, is usually changed to
stNow, Mr.. President, I think you
ought to ........, etc." Many who
in reality were mere handshakers have
become political seers in their COM
munity soley on the premises of
their own imagination.
Those who believe that their pres
tige is increased by spending a season
within calling distance of the White
House are now preparing to descend
upon the unsuspecting town of
Swampscott, Mass. The President has
indicated that the summer White
House will be maintained there. The
politically and socially ambitious who
would never have considered this
place for summer vacation have
suddenly discovered it is an ideal
resort. Circumstances alter cases.
Considerable optimism is reflected
here by high government officials as
to the trend of business and agricul-
tural conditions. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon predicted sometime
ago that the period of initiation, would
reach the breaking point. It now
appears that his views have been sub
stantiated by developments. The
Cabinet was advised yesterday that
the downward movement of several
stocks listed in Wall Street was sole
ly the result of speculation. 1t is
said that in the scramble for profits
the buying was such that issues were
in many instances far above their &C
Iual value.
One thing is certain. There will
be nc disturbing legislation for at
least ten months. A reliable forecast
has been made by an authoritative
agency to the effect that tsbusiness
! during the balance of the year will
probably be conducted under condi-
tions of rising interest rates for
loans, with a tendency toward lower
prices in some industries, and gener-
ally stationary wages"
Secretary of Labor Davis told as
sociates in the Cabinet this week that
the labor situation is very favorable.
Surveys indicate that little difficulty
is experienced in negotiation of new
scales and agreements between en-
ployers and employees. 1t is report
ed that in many instances the work
ers have voluntarily accepted cuts in
wages where an martial investiga-
ton of facts warranted.
The business houses are advising
their associates to study and take a
constructive interest in the agricul-
tural situation because of its possib-
