cine 44.40.
With the average rate of taxation
for the state, exclusive Of special

payers will pay $932,213.33 in general
taxes and $6,946.O7, for moneys and

The average taxable value of land
is given at $27.68 for Redwood coun-
ty; $26.2O in Renville; $3O.43 in
Brown; $27.16 in Cottonwood; $27.91
in Lyon and $25.95 in Yellow Medi-
cine, while the average for the state

CARDINAL DEFIES
SPAIN'S RULING
AGAINST CHURCH
BY WILLIAM II. LANDER
United Press Staff Correspondent

MADRID, Aug. 81. WP)-Formal
refusal of the Catholic church to
recognize validity of recent DEGREES
by Spain's Republican government
affecting the status of religious or
ders. was contained in a pastoral
letter issued by the deported pri-
mate, Cardinal Segura.
I'VE have witnessed in our coun-
try the proof that it is returning
to brutalized paganism with giant
strides" the primates letter said.
1t was issued from the monastery
of Our Lady of Bel-loc, in France,
where he is residing.
A significant statement that the
Catholic church intended to defend
its rights concluded the sternly
worded document.
I'm defense of its rights" the let
ter said, the church does not
possess armies nor airplanes, but it
has two weapons. The first lies in
the hands of the Divine Founder.
The second is in cannonical pun
ishments.'
Cardinal Segura added that his
tory confirms the efficacy of eX-
communications This was con-
sidered an indirect threat to excom-
municate the Republican leaders in
| Spain who have sought to end the
influence eXerted by the church un-
der the monarchy of Alfonso XIII,
now also an exile in France.
The constitutional assembly, now
in session, has considered proposal
for dissolution of Spanish religious
orders and naturalization of church
property. The government advo-
Gated a policy of separation OF
church and state; Cardinal Segura
was deported on charges of political
activity.
The publication of Cardinal Sc
gura's pastoral letter conceded with
new government decree forbidding
the Catholic church to sell prop
erty.
Cardinal Segura devoted several
paragraphs to expounding the doc
trine that aside from the rights
granted the church by Jesus Christ,
it has rights which, he said, were
inherent to the perfect corpora

SOVIET PURCHASES
IN U. S. AREkARGE
Russia Accounts for Nearly
rs Per Cent of Farm
implement Sales.

Almost rs per cent Of American ex-
ports OF farm implements IN 1891 have
gone to Soviet Russia, it was disclosed
today in an analysis of foreign trade
statistics prepared by Moody's Investors
Service. During the first six months
Of this year the survey finds that Russia
took from the United States agricultural
machinery valued at ss7.21s.0Oo. or TAB
per cent of our entire foreign shipments.
while Canada and Argentina, our best
foreign customers in pre-depression
years, together purchased less than 10
per cent Of the total.
Moody's characterizes these figures
as nothing less than amazing" and as
Startling evidence that Russia has,
temporarily at least. assumed complete
dominance as foreign outlet for our
nth most important export commodity"
Exports of farm implements to Russia
in the first half of 1890 amounted to
$50, PSI 900 and constituted about Il
per cent of our shipments TO that coun-
try. In the initial six months Of the
current year, the analysis states, agri-
cultural machinery purchases by Russia
were 81 per cent Of her aggregate i'm
ports from the United states, and en-
abled her to retain her position as our
sixth best foreign customer for all
merchandise.
The near exclusion OF Canada and
Argentina as markets for farm imple-
msnts and the rapid rise in importance
OF Russia gain added meaning when 1t
is realized that more than one-fifth Of
our production of this class OF machin-
cry Is normally exported" Moody's
continues In 1929 the first two coun-
tries accounted for more than half our
exports. but since that time they have
steadily dwindled in significance.
This situation may OF course be
merely temporary and the industrial ex-
pansion of Russia may later result in
smaller purchases Of American tractors
and allied machinery. Exports of agri-
cultural Implements in 1890 represented
81 per cent of all American shipments
abroad and we're exceeded in value only
by cotton. automobiles, gasoline and
LEAF tobacco"

BONDS ARE LOWER
IN ACTIVE TRADING
German Group Proves Ex-
Ception to Trend--RaiI
List Weak.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 1s.-Bonds were
irregularly lower today, the only group
to show any strength being the Ger
man dollar descriptions Trading was
considerably more active than on Nom
day, but still at a moderate pace.
The German group. which opened
lower following a downturn in Paris
and London, later marked up fairly
substantial gains as continental mar
kets recovered, The strength Of stocks
in early trading here was a contribute
ing factor.
Improvement in the stock market was
not SUFFICIENT, however, to revive rail-
road bonds. Many new lows for the
year and some for longer periods were
made. A disturbing feature of this
movement was liquidation based on the
theory that railroad issues have a long
drop ahead of them because of heavy.
selling by banks. Commission houses
were of the opinion today, however,
that little bank liquidation Is now in
progress. Large institutions have long
ago cleared their portfolios Of question
able rail securities and are disposed to
hold those they have left for q return
to more normal price levels.
