Midwest Industrial.

Other producing sections Of the
country show the same situation. In
the south North Carolina is respon-
sible for 2.OS per cent Of the country's
production and receives only 1876 per
cent of its income. For South Caro-
lima the figures are 100 and 0.S4 per
cent, for Georgia 1.79 per cent and
Las per cent, for Oklahoma 1.65 per
cent and LAT per cent.
Representing the industrial states
without, important centers of the in
vesting class, Michigan shows 4.50 per
cent of the country's production and
only 1882 per cent of It's income, In
diana 1922 per cent and 249 per cent,
Ohio 6.72 per cent and SIS per cent.
For the two leading non-union coal
producers the figures are West Vir-
ginia 1.24 per cent Of production and
los per cent of income, Kentucky
1850 per cent and 1.41 per cent
Only Rough Indication.
All these producer states are turn
ing out larger share OF the good
things of life than the capitalist sys-
tenn allows them to use in order that
the few parasite states may consume
twice as much as they produce.
These figures are only rough indi
cation Of the true situation. There
are millions of producers in the para
site states who produce more than
they receive. A study isolating New
York City for comparison with SYRIA
cuse or farm county in Iowa would
show much more clearly how the eco
nomic system is weighted in favor OF
the owning class. fs

Consolidation Of Mills

Consolidation Of Mills.
He declares that consolidation Of
mills is urgently essential, and re-
veals that bankers and mill people
have lately been discussing such a
project. and that men operating at
least 40 per cent of the countrys
wooden machinery have agreed to ne
gotiate with consolidation definitely in
view.
"There is wooden machinery enough
in this country to produce three times
as much yardage as can be sold for
any given consuming period Mr..
Kaplan states.
Waste In Industry.
Losses of a staggering character are
brought about, he says, by lack Of
economy in various departments, in
raw material purchasing, and in the
actual manufacture OF fabrics. Other
sources of loss are unwarranted can
cellations of orders, and unjustifed
claims which are permitted to go thru.
Mr.. Kaplan asasils also the practice
OF excess production of certain fab
RIGS long after there is any actual de-
mand for them, an oyerproduction
stimulated by encouragement re-
ceived from selling agencies and reck-
less assurances that the demand Will
continue.
"His solution Of overcoming the
losses which he mentions is by con-
solidation of say, about 80 OF the
largest independent carded wooden
mills in the country These mills
would limit output by suspending
production entirely in obsolete plants,
permitting the more efficient and eco
nomical mills to run to full capacity.

SEE MUCH GAME
ON BORDER TRIP.
AVIATOR RHODES AND DR..
SUTHERLAND ENCOUNTER
WOLVES ON TRIP TO
SAGNAGA COUNTRY.

Last week we printed small item
stating that Aviator C. H. Rhodes
had taken DIR. Sutherland to the Sag.
maya country north of here a dis
lance of nearly 70 miles to call on a
sick Indian girl. The trip was made
Thursday and besides performing
the errand of mercy at the cabin of
the Indian where the sick girl was
treated, Mr.. Rhodes and DIR. Suther-
land saw a beautiful lot of country
and much game.
On one of the lakes passed over
five spots were seen where wolves
had killed deer, the blood in the snow
and the tufts of hair and bones SUBJ
Stimulating the statement. A short
distance from where the spots were
seen a pack of eight timber wolves
were noticed on the lake. The plane.
swooped toward the pack and the
entire lot could have been killed had
weapons been at hand. Mr.. Rhodes
informed the writer that he brushed
two Of the beasts with the wings of
his plane, knocking them on their
hack after which the beasts snarled
and bit at the wings and later run
ming in al directions.
In one spot on the trip FIVE deer
were counted and in another eleven
of these fine game animals were seen.
The trip was made in a little over
half an hour by plane. Had snow
shoes been used, it would have re-
quired three days of steady plodding
to make the trip. Former game
warden Leo. Chosa who has made
the trip several times states that
while in the air he could see two
camp sits at one time. Those camp
sites were three days apart by walk
ing while so minutes covered the dis
lance oy plane.
Aviator Rhodes is stationed at
Winton with the plane during the
winter. his summers being taken up
with stunt flying the Twin City
flying circus. He takes parties to
the northern lakes on fishing trips
besides carrying supplies to trappers
and others. He is an enthusiast
on the VI: tiers in this country and is
lending every effort to make this
north country a winter as well as
summer resort district. He has the
proper "hunch" as it must be adj
mitted that the winter resorts of the
east have nothing to offer which we
cannot offer and which we cannot
surpass.

ORE PROSPECTS,
STEEL SITUATION.
AUTHORIZE PREDICT FINE
YEAR FOR THE IRON AND
STEEL BUSINESS.

Continuing good business for the
immediate future is the outlook at
the beginning of 1926, according to
the current issue of the Guaranty
Survey, published Friday by the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York. Of particular intrest on
the range is the reference to the
steel and ore business.
"The end of the year." the "Sur-
yey" states, finds business as a
whole considerably more active than
at the close of 1924. The gains in
most lines have not been striking,
Int they have been fairly regular

INCOME TAXES
WILL Be LOWER.
COLLECTOR WILLCUTS TELLS
OF CHANGES TO BE MADE
IN TAX PLAN.

The new income tax bill now
pending in the United States Sen
ate will probably become a law the
latter part of February.
The new bill makes changes in
rates as well as personal exemption.
The rates will be lower and the per-
sonal exemptions increased. It is
therefore impossible for a taxpayer
to make out correct return for
the year 1925 until the new bill is
passed.
The time between the passage of
the new bill and the due date for
filing is going to be short, and it is
going to be important to be fully
informed on the changes. Collect
or L. M. Willcuts of st. Paul has
sent US the following:
individual Income Taxpayers in
Minnesota will benefit to the extent
of $2,000,O 100000 if the new Rev.
enue Bill goes through in substan-
TALLY It's present form"
'.In addition to this immense saw
ing, between $4,000 and $4,000
people will undoubtedly be relieved
from filing returns, due to increased
personal exemption"
Heretofore taxpayers have been
m GIn Ias, nxIx,.
this year Mr.. Willcuts advises
against this for the reason that no
one will know definitely what the
reductions in rates will be until the
new Bill is passed
However, there is nothing to pre-
vent taxpayer at this time frons
closing his books and computing his
net income. Such comput alton will
not be affected by any proyisi.. IF
the new law. The actual prepare
ton of The return itself, after the
computation oe the income, requires
in the majority Of cases but 8. few
minutes. 1t is suggested, therefore,
that all figures and data be assem-
bled pending the receipt of blanks
by tax payers.
If this is done, the filing of the
returns could be safely deferred un-
til the blanks are available and still
leave time for transcribing the fig
ures to the proper forms and filing
returns on or before the due date.

BUILDING BONDS
ISSUE DEFEATED.
VOTERS UNFAVORABLE TO THE
BOND ISSUE FOR
CITY HALL. -

An exceptionally heavy vote was
polled Tuesday when the voters de-
cided, 100 to 364, against the issue
of ten-l ear bonds in the amount of
1926, 900 to finance the building of
a city hall building in this city.
A total of 1888 votes were cast
in the four precincts of the city,
726 of which were cast by men and
407 by women. 343 were cast in
the first precinct; 238 in the sec
ond; 294 in the third and 25S in
the fourth. The eyes" votes in the
four precincts were 125, 60, lO4,
IS, total 364 The mo" votes in
the four precincts were PA, 173,
1S9, 184. total 760.
An analysis of the vote fails to
disclose the motive for the large
vote against the bond issue. The
Council had stated that no addi-
tional taxes would be levied to meet
this issue, but the voters evidently
were afraid of additional tax bur-
dens. However, the vote indicated
that there are many who believe a
building is necessary but that more
thought we could get along without
it. Some were of the opinion that
as st. Louis county. was paying good
money for rent for District Court
purposes, the court. were entitled
to better quarters. This opinion
was again Offset by others who
stated that the county owed US
court house and should build one.
Be that as it may be: The city
needs new Jail, a new heating
plant and several other things. The
statement of the council that the
$4,000 bends to be retired yearly
for ten years can be paid without
raising taxes, should be put in force
at once and the money placed in
sinking fund and invested. In a
few years, with large part of the
fund on hand, the people would
look at the affair in a different light
and vote for new buildings unanim-
ously.

and summer. The decline was by
no means so sharp, however, as
that of last year; and, with the sub.
stantial recovery of the last few
months, nealy all branches of bus

tory results from the years opera,
tons, and TO look forward at the
beginning of 1926 with the expecta-
ton of continuing good business in
the immediate future.
''The iron and steel industry is in
q strong position, after a year of
well sustained and we'll balanced
activity. The production of pig
iron in the first eleven months
reached total of 33,145,498 tons
as compared with 2S,146,6O0 tons in
tie corresponding period last year.
Steel ingot output in the same
period is estimated at 4O,211 ,069
tons, which compares with 33,241,-
900 tons a year ago. These totals
show gains of Is per cent in the
output of pig iron and 81 per cent

Reports of the leading compan-
les clearly indicate that the industry
as whole viii be able to report \
fairly prosperous year, despite the
fact that prices have remained at
moderate level. The highest prices
of the year were reached in the
early months, and ...e lowest in
July and August. The Iron Age
composite price of finished steel re-
at 2.260 cents a pound
through January, then declined slow
ly to 1896, reaching the latter fig
ures on August 18. The recovery
began near the end of September,
aid has continued up to the present
time. On December IL the price
was 2.453. The composite price
S22.50 a gross ton on January 10,
and continued at that figure until
the first of March. The decline
carried the price to $3.50 on July
z, and the recovery began FIVE weeks
later. The price on December Is
was $21.54. 1t is interesting to
note that the current prices are only
45 and 81 per cent above their re-
spective ten-year pre-war averages.
