 The fine possibilities offered ny tho laying of the new highway Is the nrinriual reason for the decision ot inc firm to operate in kensingt on. The situation is an ideal one because of the railroad facilities. It is near tho neighboring towns and cities and allows for quicker transportation or their goods.

The work of the concern consists Of cabihe' making, stair building and general wood work The new plant will be much larger than the present build ing and will allow for an expansion Of the business.

CLIMB IS RESUMED
IN STOCK MARKET
Ford Still FaCt0r-SteeI Has
Good AdvanCe-RaiI
Demand Better.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.
,erial Dlsnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, November 3O.-The
stock market. started in today where
it left off last night Opening prices
we're practically all higher. The list
was still under the influence of the
idea that the re-entrance of Henry
Ford into the automobile distributing
trade would vastly stimulate produc-
ton in all affiliated lines. Money re-
newed at 4 per cent, indicating that
the hardening of the rate earlier in
the week had been an incident of
month-end settlements, and the con-
cusion was that there was no obstacle
to a renewal of speculation for the
rise on an extended scale.
Naturally motor accessory stocks
were the early leaders. A great va
riety of them were in active demand,
although in many instances 1t was
difficult to see the connection with
the Ford Co. Then the merchandis-
ing shares were taken up and the
two most prominent mail order stocks
advanced to new high points, Mont
gomery Ward at 105, the best for the
present no-par shares, and Sears Roe
buck above 85. also the maximum
under the present form Of capitaliza-
ton. 1t was easy matter for pool
operators to put up quotations for
their favorites and they did not hesi-
tate to take advantage of it.
u. s. Steel Climbs.
The optimism was not expressed
solely in the specialties stocks, how
ever. U. S. Steel, selling ex the $1.75
quarterly dividend, more than made
up the amount which come off the
price. General Motors was more hesi-
tant. Opening fractionally higher It
receded afterward. There was, on tn
other hand, no discoverable nervous
ness about competition in the action
of most Of the Independent motor
stocks. About all that could be said
was that they were not as active as
usual.
The most encouraging feature of the
market to the conservatively minded
was the better. demand for the rail.
road shares. This came about not
withstanding the car loadings state
ment. which showed a falling Off on
the week not only from last year but
from 1925 Against this exhibit it was
urged that the relation of prices to
earnings was still far more favorable
in the case Of the rails than the indus
trials.
IJnion Pacific, which had reported
gains in October, and Canadian Pacific,
which had reported losses, We're both
higher. the last named being the more
favored. Canadian Pacific has the ad-
vantage of an international market.
Bears Predict Awakening.
Opinion as to the justification for
the marking up of stock quotations
was not unanimous by any means.
There was a minority which held that
the Street was ignoring undeniable
facts about the industrial situation,
and which confidently predicted that
an awakening was near at hand.
Gossip in the brokerage houses,
however, was all the other way. 1t
was freely reported that this or that
prominent banker was buying this or
that industrial and that the Shorts"
such hardy ones as have survived,
were to be run in" Most of the
time the pessimists had the worst Of
it, but that simply goes to prove the
old maxim that a speculative current
once in motion is hard to stem.

NOVEMBER BANK
CLEAR|NGS DROP
Decline From Same Period
Last Year SmaII-11 Months
Total Also Down.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Total bank clearings in the Ma
tional Capital during November re-
vealed a small decline in comparison
with the previous month and Novem'
ber, 1926. according to the summaries
made by the Washington Clearing
House Association today.
November clearings amounted to
STA, 264 ,13446, compared with $llS.-
O66 .53T. IA in the same month last year
and SIG, .774.11 in October this
year. The slump in November clear
ing, combined with the declines in
other months since June have been
sufficient to make the total clearings
in Washington for the first II months
of the year fall below the figures for
the same period last year.
The IL months total for this year
is 81 1862 .316.0 .074.5S, as against S1,265,-
3fS.23719 for the same months in
1926. AS the clearings now stand it
will be a close race for the full year
for the 1927 clearings to surpass the
total for 1925. The 1926 total for the
year was 1882. $50, ,051.65.
The comparative figures for the
first II months of this year compared
with the same period last year are
as follows:

COSTS MONEY
TO KEEP SNOW
FROM HIGHWAYS
THREE MONTHS SNOW FALL
GIVES STATE 20 INCH BLAN-
KET-EXTRA GAS TAX PAYS
REMOVAL BILL.

The Minnesota Highway department
spent $4,000 for snow removal in
January, February and March, 1926
$31, 900 in November and $118,OOO in
December. With $4,000 spent for
snow fence, this makes a total of
S325,000 for snow fighting during
1926, with the snow removal costs al
most as great in December as the
total for the rest of the year.
This includes only major operations,
by trucks and tractors, and materials
and supplies. 1t does not include the
work done by the regular patrolmen.
Their per diem for November amount
ed to $4,000 and may reach this
amount for December when all ac-
counts are in. Not all of their work,
however, was snow removal, as much
Of their time in November was de-
voted to smoothing the road surface,
cleaning bitches and culverts and 9TH
er work in preparation for winter.
The total snow fighting bill for the
winter Of 1926-27 will probably ex-
coed 100000, but any figure would
be only guess because no one can
foretell weather conditions for the
remainder of the winter. Commits
stoned c. M. Babcock, however, states
that he believes the expense is justi-
fled by present traffic. The addition
al gas tax which comes in will more
than pay the cost of keeping the roads
open. The tax on December ship
ments was S296,17S and the smallest
for any months since the tax was
established was S261,849, in March,
1926. If the trunk roads were not
kept open, driving during the present
winter would be confined largely to
the cities, and the gas tax would prob
ably be cut in half during the winter
Car owners who do not
drive in winter pay no gas tax, Mr..
Babcock adds, and therefore do not
contribute to the cost of winter main

U EXPERT FAVORS
TAX ON LUXURIES
AND INHERITANCE
MINNESOTA CONFERENCE OPP
EMS ELEVENTH ANNUAL SEES
SION AT UNIVERSITY TUES
DAY.

State taxation of inheritances and
luXurles is favored by a committee
of the National Tax association, Pro-
fessor R. G. Blakely of the University
OF Minnesota, member of the COM
mittee, said Tuesday at the opening
session Of the 18th annual meeting of
the Minnesota Tax Conference at the
university.
Three fundamental laws underlie
the tax laws of American states"
Professor Blakely said. "The first of
these is that persons domiciled in a
state owe to it direct personal tax
The second is that tangible property
should be taxed where located and
the third is that business may be tax
ed in the place where it is carried on.
THE first principle can be applied
through a personal income tax. This
tax should reach the net income Of all
residents, but not of nonresidents,
should not discriminate against the
unearned income, should be progress
sive and centrally administered.
Under the second principle, states
should tax tangible property within
their borders, with real estate and
and tangible personal property sep
arately classified
with respect to the third principle,
states may continue present corpora
ton taxes, if adjustments are made in
the business tax, so That corporations
will be burdened no more heavily
than other businesses Finally, states
may levy special business taxes, al /
though this is not an essential feature /
Of the plan.
The present tax system Of Mime
sofa cannot be properly designated as
system, Professor Blakely said.
Rather it is a combination of more
or less inarticulated taxes which have
grown up without sufficient thought
as to their coordination in we'll bal
anced system.
Public inertia is a major factor in
retarding needed tax reform, C. F.
Reyes, president of the board of esti-
mate and taxation of Minneapolis,
told the conference. Mr.. Keyes also
is president Of the conference.
Progress in tax reform is at best
Slow" he said "The natural inertia
of the mass of the people; the inabil-
ity to think clearly, to reason from
cause to effect, play their part.
Honest, clear-headed, courageous
leadership is needed if our tax prob /
lens are to be solved so as to do
justice to all. Proposals for reform
must be sane and practical, not rev.
dictionary"
''If used, such taxes should be CEN
trally administered and non-progres-
sive and should apply to all businesses.
States revenues can be derived
from the income tax, the localities
can be supported by the property tax
and the business tax may be allot-
ted to either"

Martin BredvOld

The death of Martin Bredvold, Sun
down township pioneer, occurred al
the home of his son, Otto, last Tues.
day, January 25th, of which brief
mention was made last week. The
funeral was held last Friday at the
Shutdown Lutheran church, Rev. A.
D. Halvorson and Rev. Lovig of Wal
nut Grove, officiating. Burial was in
the church cemetery.
Martin Bredvold was born in Ness
Hedemarken, Norway, November 10,
1849. He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lars Larson Bredvold.
In the year 1869 he came to Ameri-
ca and lived at Lansing, Ia, until
1871, when he moved to Shutdown
Twp, Redwood County. There he was
united in marriage on July 3rd, 1874,
to Miss Grace Thorston, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Thorston. This
union was blessed with twelve chill
dren, six of whom are living. The
mother was called to her Maker on
May 18th, 1907.
Mr.. Bredvold enjoyed good health
until three or four years ago, when
he was taken i'll with Indigestion,
from which he never quite recovered.
Last October he became worse and
was taken to St. Johns hospital,
where he was given treatment for ten
days. He returned home and a month
later was taken to the Asbury hospi-
tai in Minneapolis, where they found
that he had cancer of the stomach. He
returned home again to his son, Otto,
with whom he had been living on the
old homestead.
From then on he grew weaker and
was confined to his bed most of the
time and on January 25th, he peace
fully passed away.
He leaves to mourn his death six
children: Mrs. Anna Peterson of Sum
down township; John of St. Maries,
Idaho; Mrs. Elsie Burdick, Seattle,
Wash; Otto of Shutdown township;
Lewis of near Sanborn and Mrs. Eli
da Norell or near Comfrey, two
brothers, Ludwig and A. j. Bredvold
Of st. Maries, Idaho, and fourteen
grandchildren.
Mr.. Bredvold was highly respected
pioneer and citizen, helpful neighbor,
4 kind husband and father and a
worthy church member. He was one
Of the charter members of the Sun
down Lutheran church and held the
office of secretary for almost fifty
years.
He was also a charter member of
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Redwood County, and
held the office of president from its
until 1915.
At the time Shutdown township was
he held the office of town
clerk for many years. He was also
one of the organizers of the Shutdown
creamery and was the secretary for
about fifteen years.-Springfield Ad-
vance.
