The exhibits of swine were especially

there are economies reflected in no-s

ment. Under a plan inauguratec
this year, Minnesota buys its owr
cement and furnishes it to paving con-
tractors, not only giving the State
the benefit of lower prices but insur-
ing the use of a proper cement mix
ture in all concrete used.
Building operations and fuel pur-
chases for the Board of Control, un-
der the first year of the Finance
Boards supervision, amounted to
$646,525 less than the previous year
despite an increase in the number of
inmates in the various state institu-
tions from 12,415 to 1854. The av-
erage per capita expenditures for all
state institutions dropped from $437
to 1871 per year.
Numerous financial leaks were
stopped" said Governor Christianson
in giving an account of his steward
ship. Gasoline is now purchased at a
reduction of two cents per gallon over
last years arrangements, effecting a
saving that will pave one mile of
highway in Minnesota this year. By
purchasing coal on the British Their
NAL Unit basis, nearly $4,000 was
saved the state, despite the basic coal
price advance of 25 cents per ton. A
Encouragement of the telephone sys-
tenn in the state capitol and establish
ing direct lines between St. Paul and
Minneapolis created saving on tele-
phone tolls and rentals of $4,000 per
year. A reduction of 20 per cent in
the price of automobile license tags
saved enough money to gravel ten ad-
ditional miles of road. The printing
bill of the state was reduced $780,
822.76 during the budget system while
the military funds Of the state show
an increase of .$34,94739 in net un-
expended balances. The funds of the
combined agriculture, Dairy and Food
departments have an increase of $45,-
343.67; Department of Health funds,
increase of $15,391-91; State Game
and Fish department, increase of $19,-
O93.8S; Industrial Commission in
crease of $13, 1882; and the Secur-
tiles Commission - increase of $751;
328.39 in unexpended net balances.
Economical management of the new
and old state cassitols resulted in a
savings of $22, CO. 20. Combining
the holding of several state offices
by one individual, a saving of more
than 25 per cent has resulted with
no impairment to efficiency.
BY the savings accomplished thru
vetoes of appropriations, vetoes of
expenditures by the Finance Board
and retrenchment. effected by the var
ious departments, the sum will ag-
gregate more than $4,0O0,00O during
the present biennium or ten per cent
of the total appropriations of $40.-

BONDLESS- -TAXLESS MINNESOTA
POSSIBILITY in l935-COVERNOR
CHRISTIANSON OPENS CAMPAIGN
Four Million Dollars Saved Minnesota Taxpayers Through
of Appropriations, Establishment of budget System and
Retrenchmen of States Expenditures, Says Governor
ChrstansOn at Fergus Falls Tuesday Night.

Minnesota, bondless and taxless
state in 1885, so far as a direct levy
for revenue purposes is concerned;
vigorous opposition, including the
power of the veto, totany increase in
the total of appropriations in 1927;
completion of the Reorganization of
the state government; and placing
agriculture upon an equal basis with
industry, were high lights in the key
note address delivered by Governor
Theodore Christianson at Fergus Falls
Tuesday evening, Sept. 28th, formally
opening his campaign for reelection.
Governor Christianson stated the
sum of S13,737, 1919 raised by taxa
tion, has been used, not for current
expenditures, but to reduce the debts
and increase the trust funds of the
State of Minnesota; that the levies
for all purposes for the past biennial
period appreciated 1878 mills and for
the present biennial period, 1910
mills, net saving of $1,326,680 to the
tax payers during the present admin
istration. Indebtedness of the state,
exclusive of the rural credit bonds,
has been reduced, from $50,394, ,760. .33
to $44,076, ,S28.70, sum of more than
$6,300,000; state trust funds have been
increased during the same period by
Sc, 729, 1926.
Said Governor Christianson: ''This,
then, is the fiscal program for the
future:
81 To reduce the tax levy un-
til ultimately there shall be no
direct levy for the State revenue
fund;
''2. To create no new obliga-
tions and discharge all obliga-
tions heretofore created as soon
as may be;
SO. To safeguard and increase
the States trust funds"
Serving notice that his consent will
not be given to any measure increas-
ing the bonded indebtedness of the
State, Governor Christianson further
emphasized continued reduction Of the
state debt along the policy adopted
by his administration would result in
Minnesota being a bondless state in
1886.
Economy in state government
should set an exaasple for the COM
munities, the Governor declared.
Bonded Indebtedness of Minnesota s
local units of government is estimated
at $500 0,O00, 900 and the increase dur
ing the past ten years has been placed
at nearly 800 per cent. The alterna-
tive of property confiscation or debt
reputation will present itself if the
tendency of the past decade contin-
ues. The remedy is to compel the
generation which creates indebtedness
to discharge it.
The establishment of budget sys-
tenn, the most important feature of
the reorganization program, has saw
ed Minnesota $683, ,578.67 the first
year of its functioning or 4s6 per cent
of $14, 4,723, $3.50, the amount Of the ap-

The Burris Garage was entered
early last Saturday evening and the

One of the mechanics had left fol

He heard the door slam and went into

FOUR BOYS and
CAR GO OVER
GRADE SUNDAY
MARSHALL WHITCOMB, WILLIS
AND WILLARD STARR AND
LEO SCHMID HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE; ALL INJURED.

A serious automobile accident oc-
cured on the Redwood Falls-Morton
road Sunday evening with two cars
driven by Marshall Whitcomb and
Glenn Boltz the principals. The Whit
comb car occupied by Marshall, Leo
Schmid and Willis and Willard Starr
left the road over the high embank-
ment near the foot of the Morton
hill, crashing into wire fence and
landing into the ditch with sufficient
force to damage it greatly. The boys
were all more or less hurt but that
they escaped with their lives is some
thing at which to marvel.
Willis Starr was badly cut about
the face necessitating the taking of
fifteen stitches. His twin brother
and Leo Schmid both suffered bad
injuries to their ankles and a num-
Der of severe bruises. Marshall's face
was badly cut about the left eye, one
finger was badly injured and he sus-
tanned many bruises. The four in
jured ones were picked up by Mr..
Boltz and other car drivers and
brought to the Redwood Falls hos
pital where they received immediate
medical attention. The accident was
serious enough but the friends Of the
young men are delighted that under
the circumstances they were not more
injured.
Just how the accident happened
seems bit difficult to determine.
1t appears that the Boltz car was en-
deavoring to pass the Whitcomb car
and in some way the latter was fore
ed into the ditch. The accident ocur-
red about ten o'clock p. M, Sunday.

Electric Way of
Threshing Grain

If experiments conducted on an I'LL
nois farm can be taken as guide. the
threshing of wheat and oats by cleo
tricity offers attractive possibilities
for economy. Two young farmers
near Bloomington, ILL.,, DeLoss and
Eugene Funk, have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that electrical
threshing is 60 per cent less costly
than steam threshing, in the case Of
oats, and less than half as expensive
for wheat.
They gave both methods a thor
ough trial, and in addition also ex.
perimented with gasoline tractor.
Their figures, however. compare steam
and electricity.
The cost of their steam equipment
amounted to $4,772, with operating
costs of $1,577, total of $6,349. The
cost of the electrical equipment came
to s2,26O, and the operating costs
were $685., or total of $2.915.
The same amount of work was per
formed by each method-sixty thou
sand bushels of oats and fifteen thou
sand bushels of wheat were threshed.

HOG CHOLERA DURING
NOVEMBER

The disease was reported to exist
on 22 premises in Maryland during
the month, against 62 year ago
and a six year average of Sc for the
same period
Twenty were classed as primary
and two as secondary. Ten were OF
the backyard type, that is few
hogs kept in small pens, tlthough one
of these occurred on a small farm
Twelve occurred on farms where
hogs are bred and raised.
Kent County had four outbreaks
Worcester and St. Mary's three each
Frederick and Montgomery two each
Anne Arundel, Dorchester, Garrett
Howard, Prince Georges, Talbot and
Wicomico one each.
OF the primary outbreaks II. were
apparently due to infected pork In
garbage, table scraps, kitchen swill
etc. One was due to the puchase
of new stock, anti in two cases, one OF
which was doubtful diagnosis, nc
information could be obtained or
which to base the source of infec-
ton. Regarding the two secondary
outbreaks, one was due to movement
of hogs, and in one case no history
could be obtained whereby it might
be determined how the infection
reached the hogs.
