Stalcs Auditor
Shows How Tax
Dollar Is Spent
TAX PAID BY HEAD OF RED
WOOD COUNTY FARM BUREAU
REVEALS MANY INTERESTING
FACTS WHEN ANALYZED.

An extremely interesting booklet
has just been issued from the office of
Ray P Chase, auditor of the State of
Minnesota. Mr.. Chase has issued in
compact and easily understood form
a resume of taxes paid into the var
ious funds, using as the basis of his
analysis the amounts paid by the three
tax payers of each County. This an
alysis shows how each dollar of the
tax money is diverted into the var
ious channels, and shows that state
and county taxes are less responsible
for the present high tax than is
the township and school tax. mas
much as township meetings with the
usual levying of taxes, are to be held
in the immediate future the study of
this tax list is most timely.
For Redwood County Mr.. Chase
selected C.. NJ. BendiXen of Morgan,
A. M. Dennistoun of Redwood Falls
and M. N Sandager of Belview for
the representative tax payers. For
purposes of illustration of the points
demonstrated by MIR. Chase the Ga
bette has selected the tax paid by
| Mr.. Sandager, president of the Red
wood County Farm Bureau on his
three hundred and twenty acre farm.
The total tax paid by Mr.. Sandager

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM HEARD.

"As Moses forsook Egypt, so
Washington forsook, at the call Of
the pioneers of this nation, much that
was dear to him. He turned his
back on king and court that he might
leave an imperishabie heritage to his
country" This was the theme of the
talk on Washington given by DR.. A.
W. Ross at the Monday evening meet
ing of the Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton. DIR. Ross talk was one of sew
eral numbers which constituted a
most interesting patriotic program
given in commemoration of the
birth anniversary Of Washington.
The program opened with group
singing with A. H. Dahlberg leading
and Miss Ruth Cooper at the piano.
Then followed beautifully given
flag drill by a group of children from
Miss Schramm' room. The pupils
of Miss Friton's room gave the flag
salute and recited the Americans
creed. Then followed an education
al talk by Mrs. w. A. Fraser on the
correct usage of the flag. Basing her
talk on the code adopted at the Flag
Conference held in Washington June
14th, 1923, Mrs. Fraser gave much
valuable instruction on flag etiquette,
demonstrating many of her state
ments with the assistance of two of
the school boys.

promise much to interest and enter
tain the basketball fans. Morgan
has an exceptionally good team, Bel
views team has also made some
splendid scores against heavy odds
and Gibbon is the dark horse" which
adds tosthe interest. Since each team
will be followed by supporters from
its own town there promises to be
plenty of lively competition on the
side lines as well as on the floor.
