CURRIE DELEGATES
NEW CATHOLIC
CHURCH WEDNESDAY

Slayton-formal dedication of the
new Catholic cathedral, the Immacu.
iate Heart of Mary Church, at Cur.
lie, took place Wednesday morning.
The Rt. Rev. F. M. Kelly, D. D..
Bishop of the Winona Diocese of
>iciated at pontifical high mass
Priests from all over the diocese
came to assist in the sacred services.
The original church was built in
the pioneer days, fifty years ago this
month and at time when it was the
largest church in Murray county,
Though the building was far too
large to accommodate the needs of
the then small flock, those who made
it possible had a vision Of the future.
Two services were required each Sun
day that all might hear Mass.
Practically everything in the old
church was lost in the terrific fire last
year. Even the great bell, which for
40 years had summoned the faithful,
was melted.
The loss, according to Father Col
bert, was close to $4,000 and there
was but $4,000 insurance to cover.
While the church was being re-
built, meetings were held in the small
auditorium at the school and in a
tent, which was cold and dismal at
times and nearly blew down once or
twice. The congregation helped with
the foundation, even the pastor DON
ned overalls and toiled from dawn to
dusk.

Minnesota Auto Tax
is Next to Lowest
North Dakota Only State Where
Average Levy in 1880 Was
Lower Than Here

Minnesota motorists in 1880 paio
less taxes per car than motorists II
any other state except North Dako
ia, according to C. M. Babcock, com
missioner of highways. Mr.. Babcock
bases his statement on the recently
issued summary Of motor vehicle ano
gas taxes compiled by the U. S. Bur-
eau Of Public roads, giving the aver
age tax per vehicle in each state.
The figures on registration and
gasoline taxes for 1890 show eleven
states with lower average than
Minnesota. But in all of these elev-
en- states, except North Dakota
vehicle owners also had to pay per-
sonal property tax, averaging more
than $500 per car, which brought
them well above the Minnesota flg-
ures.
Even emitting the personal pro-
perry tax the Minnesota tax on cars
is well below the average state. The
registration tax in Minnesota In 1881
averaged $500, compared to an
average of $13.41 for all states. This
was Offset by the gas tax, however,
which averaged $14.13 in Minnesota
and $18.65 in all the states. Taxing
the two together, the average per
vehicle is 1922 in Minnesota and
s32.O6 for all states. If personal pro-
perty taxes and special city taxes
were included, the average for all
states would be close to $4,000. Only
automobiles and trucks are used in
figuring the average, trallers ana
motorcycles being omitted.
The average motor vehicle tax was
% cents higher in 1880 than in 1929.
The average gas tax was $2.64 high
er in 1880 than in 1929. Motor
vehicle taxes increased 2.3 per cent
and gas taxes LAG per cent in 1880
over 1929.
Oregon had the highest auto tax,
averaging $38.15, and California the
lowest, $4.83. Florida had the high
est average gas tax, $41.66, and Wis
consin the lowest, $10.62. Taking
gas and auto taxes together, Oregon
had the highest average, $62.74 per
car and Massachusetts, the lowest,
$2O,89, but this does not include the
personal property tax.
Ten states, including North Dakota,
have increased their gas taxes in
1881, and many states have made in
creases in the registration tax on
certain classes of vehicles. When the
1881 figures are compiled, Minnesota
will have still greater margin below
the average state. The gas tax in
crease in North Dakota has been sus-
pended by referendum, however, and
that state will probably hold bottom
Mace for another wear

THE NEED rs GREATER

Last year the community faced a
hard winter, from the standpoint Of
unemployment. Many men and women
were out of jobs and the want
throughout the winter months was
great. This year, without doubt, we
are facing a situation that is more
grave than that of last year. Mere
men and women are out Of jobs than
any time in the history of the city.
Many of those unemployed last win
ter had little savings to draw upon,
and many Of them helped those who
were less fortunate. But the little saw
ings have slowly dwindled away until
now some that helped others last
winter are going to need help this
year.
So that the need for funds for re-
lief this winter is going to be great.
Last year by voluntary contributions
on the part of business men, manu-
facturers, employees and other kind
hearted people the sum of nearly
100000 was raised and expended for
labor and relief. Those in charge of
relief funds last year, and they are
in position to know, estimate that
this years requirements will call for
$175,000 to meet the demands.
To raise this sum it is planned to
levy $2.40 on each $1,000 taxable
property in the city. In this manner
everyone will contribute their portion
according to their means. The people
are to vote on this proposal at the
coming election, and while there is
some little opposition to the plan be-
ing heard, it is to be hoped that those
who are opposed will give the matter
more consideration and change their
minds and vote favorably on the levy
The Community Chest, from which
| relief wants are usually cared fo1
cannot meet the unusual demand ex-
pected this winter. The tax levy is
the only manner seen at this time
in which the amount needed can be
raised. The tax will only be for one
year, and will be no hardship on any
one. Surely all will want to help pro-
vide food and comfort for the needy
The money must be raised if none are
to go cold and hungry, and the tax
levy is the only way the money can
be raised.
THE NEED is GREATER.
VOTE "YES" ON THE TAX
LEVY.

THE NEW JUNIOR HIGH

The bids for the nsw Woodrow Viii
son junior high school are in end tabu
lated. The Board of Education has
announced that the contracts will be
awarded at recessed meeting to be
held next Tuesday, October 9th. II
is hoped that there will be no further
delay in the awarding of the contracts
and that they will be let on the time
stated by school board.
There is so much unemployment in
the city, especially so among the
building trades, that every prospec-
tive job is looked forward to hun
grily by those out of work. Much
common labor, too, will be needed in
connection with construction of the
new school,
For the sake of the unemployed,
those who will benefit, the Press
urgently pleas with the Board of
Education members that they award
the contracts for the new junior high
at the earliest possible moment.

A FINE SERMON

An excellent sermon" on the
necessity of trade unionism is preach
ed in the following editorial from the
Evangelist, official organ Of the Ro-
man Catholic diocese of Albany, N. Y.
"The orgy of wage cutting indulged
in by the major American corpora
tions was observed with less sur
prise than keen regret by those inter-
asted in the American worker. While
it was general knowledge that wages
were being slashed by legions of less
representative industries throughout
the country, it was hoped that the
major units of the steel and automo-
bile industries would continue to
make some semblance Of fairness to
labor in view of the pledges made at
the presidents conference, November
1929, that everything would be done
to preserve the prevailing wage scale
during the period of depression.
"The sufferings Of the present de-
preston period will have been worth
the enduring if they only bring home
to the American workingman what
ever his trade or occupation may be,
that if labor is to become articulate
against injustice and unfairness, it
must be organized"
