This makes a reduction of II per
cent in the 1926 taxes below those of
1928. If this is evidence of eXtrava-
gance during the first year of Gov
ernor Christianson's administration,
his opponents are entitled to make the
most of it.
To CUR mind the fair thing would
be to wait another year and then
compare the two years of Governor
Ted's administration with the two
years of the preceding administration.
Another thing sometimes lost sight
of is that the 1925 tax levy was fix
ed by the legislature last winter, be-
fore the state reorganization act had
gone into effect. No real figures
showing results of the new system in
reducing state expenses will be avail
able until after the close of the first
fiscal year, June 30.-Minneapoiis

Tax Comparison
Should Be Based
On Biennial Only
FARIBAULT NEWS FINDS YEAR
LY COMPARISON UNFAIR To
ECONOMY PLATFORM OF Gov
ERNOR; DECIDE NEXT YEAR.

Because state taxes are higher for
1925 than for 1924, the Faribault
Pilot recently found in the figures an
argument that the state administra-
ton is not bringing about economy.
The Faribault News disagrees, say
ing:
Comparisons of state tax rates APP
pear to the order of the day and critics
of Governor Christensen are making
every effort to make it appear that
in spite of his economy platform,
state taxes have increased during the
year just closed.
This does not appear quite fair to
Governor Christensen.
If state taxes are to be compared
they should be compared by biennial
periods and not by years, for state
taxes and appropriations are always
higher during the first year after a
legislative session than the second.
This is because appropriations for
buildings are mostly made available
for the first year of the biennium. 50
state taxes for 1925 should be COM
pared with those of 1923, and those
of 1924 with those of 1922, etc. O.:
the two year period should be taken
as a basis and the taxes for 1928
1924 compared with 1925-1926.
Comparing Rice county's state tax
levy for 1926 with 1928 We get tn
following figures:
1923 - s151,459.94
1925 -- 135,S1923
Reduction -- S25, 640.56

HOffert's Quint
Loses to Gaylord
wild Ricel
December 81, 1925


Demoralized by the absence of
Corbett during the first half the Red
wood High quint fell before the Gay
lord onslaught last Saturday evening
by a score of Is to 9. Corbett had
been confined to his bed with the
flu for several days and the effect
on the local lads was too much. At
that Gaylord only made one short
shot though they too presented an
alright defense too hard for the To-
Gals to break throu. Gaylord has
an excellent squad of seasoned vet
Grams and her victory was no doubt
deserved on Saturday.
This Friday the local high squad
meets Sleepy Eye at Sleepy Eye and
on Saturday night they journey to
Gaylord to even up the contest.
In the preliminary Saturday the
Junior High Sharks fell before the
Senior Scrubs in a tightly contested
affair.

STATE ID APPEAL ARSON ACQUITTAL Think Meriden Men Should Have
 Been Convicted

New Haven, Nov. 5--Arnon A. filling. state prosecuting attorney In the criminal superior court at New Haven. made a statement yes- terday afternoon that: Tt Is likely the case of Rocco Femia and Joseph Carabetta of Meriden, &C., quilted by jury of arson charges, will be appealed to the supreme court of errors"
 He would say nothing further In regard to the probable appeal, but 1t is thought it will be taken on an exception taken by the prosecutor to Judgge Edwin c. Dickerson's charge to the jury. Judge Dicker- son in his charge said that the evidence seemed to point to an ac- cidental starting of the fire, which damage building at 114 Warren street, and that even granting the men had intention of burning the building, if the jury found that the burning Of the dwelling on May 26 was accidental, the men could not be convicted for arson.
 It was intimated in the charge that although the men at one time may have entertained a desire to burn the house and thereby benefit by insurance money on the furni- ture and also clear the ground for the erection of new building with out the cost of tearing the old one down, they did not have that idea at the time the house was burned.
 Many Exceptions
 On Friday, October 29, the jury brought in verdict of not guilty to defraud lodged against the two Meriden men. The whole trial was A series of legal battles and ex- ceptions taken to the judges rul- ings both by defense counsel and state prosecutors.
 D. J. Danaher of Meriden and Philip Pond of New Haven de- tended the men, while Arnon A. Alling and Assistant States Attor- ney Benjamin D. Winner tried to convict them.
 The case attracted much interest because of the fact that the build ing was rocked to it's foundations immediately after the inception of the fire by tremendous explosion which rattled window panes for blocks around that vicinity. It was alleged by the defense that some turpentine had fallen down a register in an upstairs room direct- ly into a roaring furnace below. Injured by the force of the explo- sion, Carabetta was confined in the Meriden hospital for some time, suffering with burns received.
 States Charge
 The state claimed the whole af fair was a deliberate preparation on the part of the men to burn the house and charged that the walls of the house had been saturated with gasoline.
 When the appeal will be entered is not known, although it is believ- ed that the state counsel will not let the matter rest. Both defense and state attorneys presented strong
New Britain herald., 1926-11-05

cases to the jury and court. The house at 114 Warren street was to have been occupied by Femia and his family. His wife, it was under stood, had taken out an additional policy of insurance on the furniture just two days before the fire occur red. The policy was for sl,000.
