State Department Suffers From In
adequate Force and Must
Increase Personnel.

Announcement was made at the State
Department yesterday that the Ameri-
can consulate at ManZanillo, Mexico,
had been closed on December 2, on
account of lack of personnel in the
American foreign service. This action
has no connection whatever with the
recent act Of the Mexican government
in closing its consulate at Laredo, fol-
lowing attempts to arrest Elias Plutarco
Gales. former Mexican President.
It was explained that the Depart
ment of State had found it necessary
to close a number of small consulates
until new consular representatives
could be obtained. The ManZanillo Of
flee has done an extraordinarily small
amount of business during the last
year. and 1t was found this work could
be handled by the Guadalajara con-
sulate. 1t was decided, therefore, to
close the Office at Manzanillo.

L. w. Kube, traffic manager of the
st. Paul Union Stockyards Company
on Dec. % issued a statement show
ing that in one year the value O
dead animals arriving at the marke
by rail was estimated at $15O,497
The loss due to crippling of STOCK
received by rail was S47,O68. The
estimated loss on account of bruises
to animals in transit was ovel
100000
This tremendous waste in ship
ping livestock to market" declared
Mr.. Kube, demands serious cOnsi-
deration by all farmers, livestock
shippers and transportation interests
We now are making strenuous efforts
to reduce these losses"
Replies to a QUESTIONABLE sent to
livestock shippers, asking them what
factors in their judgment are the
principal causes of death losses
Gripping and bruising of hogs in
marketing, developed the following
eleven chief causes:
1. Chasing hogs around on the
farm in order to congregate them into
trucks and wagons.
2. Lack of suitable chuteS for
loading into wagons and trucks on the
farm and also for unloading at the
local stockyards.
3. Poor chutes for loading into the
car at local stockyards.
4. Icy or slippery chutes.
5. The use of clubs or other i'm

which cause excitement or over
exertion.

order to consolidate state forest re-
serves.
State should pay a certain amount
per acre per annum on state forests
to counties, in lieu of taxes.
State forests should be managed on
forestry basis, expenses paid from in
come.
Department of Conservation should
be reorganized.
Auxiliary Forests.
The tax rate on auxiliary forest
land should be reduced to cents
per acre annually in addition to the
fire protection and yield tax.
Delinquent Taxes.
The ditch bonds in Beltrami, and
Lake of the Woods counties should
be funded. State certificates of in
debtedness should be issued and pro-
ceeds used to buy new county bonds
which will amortize in fifty years.
This will not give permanent relief.
The state must pay a certain amount
Wv
lands as herein recommended. In
addition, because much Of the tax
delinquent land in these counties is
neither forest land nor agricultural
land, but peat bog. such payment by
the state must be made on all state
owned lands in these counties
Both state and private land for sale
should be classified before it is sold
to prevent farm failure and tax de-
linquency. A land economic survey
is necessary. Zoning may be resOrted

has been made.
