COUNTY TAX
RATE ISSUED
Eastern Portion of Pine
County Shows Highest
1927 Rates. School Dist.
6, Finlayson Town, Has
Lowest Total, AL Mills.

The 1927 tax rate of Pine county
upon which the taxes to be paid in
1928 are based, shows 33 subdivisions
parts of school districts and parts
of townships or villages-to have total
rates of over 100 mills.
The eastern portion of the county
has the highest rates, due principally
because there is much unpaid tax in
that vicinity. School district No.
100 in Arna township tops the list
with total rate of 1914 mills. The
1926 rate was 1852. School district
No. LOG in Arna township is second
on the 1927 tax list with total rate
of 1865. Their 1926 rate was 1868.
School district No. 100 in Dosey town.
ship is third with a 1927 total rate
of 1885. The 1926 rate was a little
higher, being 1915 {
School district No. 6 in Finlayson

pected that the Democrats will hold
number of conferences primarily to
sound out the leaders as to the Presi-
Dental campaign and organize for
pre-convention activities. There is a
tremendous amount of detail and ex-
pense involved in preparing for the
quadrennial national convention,
wherein they nominate a candidate
for the Presidency and other high Of
fees.
The disaster which overlook the
Navy submarine off the New England
coast last week will undoubtedly leave
its imprint on Congress. Observers
declare that the tragedy will have
much to do with shaping the course
of congressional action on the present
recommendation of the Administration
for greater Navy.
The Department of State is greatly
concerned over the determination of
Congress to investigate the charges
brought against the Mexican officials
by the Hearst chain of newspapers in
its publication of alleged secret docu-
ments. The diplomats fear that
congressional investigation will bring
about strained relations between the
two governments, which is usually
the case when Congress undertakes to
study foreign affairs. Diplomats
whisper but legislators shout their
opinions from the house tops.
The dispute in banking circles over
the Federal Reserve System policies
may serve as an excuse for another
investigation. Apparently anticipat-
ing such an inquiry the Federal Re-
serve Board in it's monthly report is
sued for December gives detailed
explanation of banking affairs for the
consideration of Congress and the
country in general. The Board re-
veals that there has been consider
able decrease in the country's none
tary gold during last three months,
which is not an alarming condition,
because it is due partly to exports
and increases in foreign accounts.
The Administration is doing its best
to discount the rumors circulated by
alarmists who would have the unin-
formed believe the Nation was on the
brink of bankruptcy. The Federal
Reserve report shows that the country
as whole is unusually prosperous
and banking deposits have increased
enormously which argues well for
a prosperous New Year.
Mr.. Coolidge is preparing for his
first visit outside our borders. He
will pay an official call to Cuba next
month. The State and Commerce
Departments are counting heavily on
this trip as means of fortifying good
will among Latin-American countries.
