Ramsey is one of three counties in the state
not compelled to publish the personal property
tax list, and has found it necessary to employ
special attorney to prosecute personal property
tax dodgers. AS result of the attorneys ac-
tivities over forty thousand dollars of such tax
es have been collected from the tax evaders.
This same result is gained in other counties by
publicity. The publishing of the list points out
who is paying taxes and how much. Any one
evading the tax is thus promptly discovered and
in due time reported to proper authorities as ev-
cry neighbor should pay and the published list is
the most interesting reading matter of the year.

gracefully is to protect the health while young.
rwo-thrds of the old people, today, he explained,
are old, as an inheritance from clean-living par
ents. This being the case it behooves everyone
20 select his parents only after due and deliber-
ate Observation-Disclosures County Journal.
