has seen much worse days and had many vi
cisstudes. There seems now to be a happier
future in store for the steady tendency toward
country life as against the crowded city Is
again filling the pews of the churches built
by the wayside throughout the land. The great
plantation homes of Virginia, as well as the
farm houses, are again filled with living and
laughter and love, and that means that prayers
and Thanksgiving and devotion will ascend
from worShipers in the old churches, just as
they did in the calm and prosperous days
when Pohick Church was built, before the
Revolution.
The present rector and the vestry of Pohick
state the Vestry House is greatly needed and
there never is any time just like the present,
the past being no longer and the future not
yet ours, the plan and hope is to have brick
after brick rise quickly around the corner stone.
Circumstances appear extremely propitious;
most generous member Of the parish has made
it possible for the weathered brick needed to
be secured, and the competent architect in
charge of the restoration of Wakefield has pre-
pared the plans. It Is especially appropriate
and most desirable that the building be finished
in time for the George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Celebration, not only because large num-
bers Of people will undoubtedly visit this his
toric shrine intimately connected with the
life Of Washington, but because it is something
that the Father and Founder Of this Nation
started that we can today bring to fruition and
thus show in q small material way little of
the gratitude felt to the marvellous man who
did much for each and every citizen Of the
United States It Is q unique opportunity
this finishing an undertaking dear to Wash
ington.
All that the afternoon of November 20, 1881,
will lack will be the presence Of the Pohick
vestrymen OF 1772. They will be well repre-
scented, for Virginia is still home to the Paynes,
the Masseys, Masons, the Barrys and all the
rest of them. The Washingtons and all those
hal
queathed undying loyalty to church and State
to their descendants.
To the gathering at old Pohick come to wit
ness the ceremonies Of the afternoon, the days
of yester-year cannot be denied admittance

hearts of those gathered to witness the laying
Of the corner stone 1t will also be impossible
not to feel the silent benediction of those who
served and those who worShiped in this sacred
shrine in that time long ago, for this fufillment
Of their orders, which they had felt obliged to
rescind two years later, considering the ex-
pense thereof will be too burdensome for the
parish at this time" For the war Clouds seen
lowering in the distance only in 1772, were in
1774 sweeping over the sky, and these wise men
knew escape was impossible
THE laying of the corner stone for Pohick
vestry, ordered 159 years ago, will take place
at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon November
Goth, with appropriate ceremonies. The Alex
andria- Washington Lodge of which Gen. George
Washington was the first worshipful master
is in charge of the services, and the corner
Deputy. DIR. Mason Ware.
In placing the stone the working TOOLS"
consisting Of the original plumb, square and
level, and the small silver trowel used by Gen.
Washington in laying the corner stone of the
National Capitol, September 10, 1893, will be
again used.
The silver trowel was also used in laying the
corner stone Of the Smithsonian Institution and
Of the National Washington Monument and
much later. the corner stone of the Masonic
Temple on Thirteenth street of this city, and
of the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on Six
tenth street. The most recent use of these
working tools" was in laying the corner stone
of the George Washington Masonic National
Memorial, at Alexandria, Va.
It Is hoped that the President Of the United
States will find it possible to accept the invi-
tation rendered him at the White House by q
special committee.
It is planned that a pageant shall follow
the ceremonies, depicting the controversy be-
tween George Washington and George Mason
as to the site for Pohick Church. In the course
Of this Col. Washington produced a map show
ing the most central location, which carried
his selected site by q majority vote.

CURRIE DELEGATES
NEW CATHOLIC
CHURCH WEDNESDAY

Slayton- formal dedication of the
new Catholic cathedral, the Immacu-
late Heart of Mary Church, at Cur
lie, took place Wednesday morning.
The Rt. Rev. F. NJ. Kelly, D. D.,
Bishop of the Winona Diocese Of
iciated at pontifcal 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 vision Of the future.
Two services were required each Sum
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 dom
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 paid
less taxes per car than motorists IN
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 and
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 a 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 fig-
ures.
Even emitting the personal pro-
perty tax the Minnesota tax on cars
is we'll 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 s18.65 in all the states. Taking
the two together, the average per
vehicle is 1922 in Minnesota and
5000 for all states. If personal pro-
perry 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, trailers and
motorcycles being omitted.
The average motor vehicle tax was
% cents higher in 1880 than in 1929.
The average gas tax was 1884 high
er in 1880 than in 1929. Motor
vehicle taxes increased 2.3 per cent
and gas taxes 14.6 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, SOFIA per
car and Massachusetts the lowest,
$20,S9, 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
place for another year.

P. U. C. Scans Testimony
Given at ChiIdren's
Car Fare Hearing

The Public Utilities Commission
today started study of testimony
offered yesterday at the public
hearing on reduced car fares for
school children faced with the
ultimatum of transit company
officials that a higher adult fare
would be sought to offset antici-
pated losses to the car companies
through low pupil fares.
Testimony brought out at the
hearing fixed the loss to the Capt.
tai Traction Company at $4,000
and to the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. at $4,000.
John j. Noonan, Washington
capitalist, sponsor of the reduced
fare bill, urged that the commits
sion permit poor children to ride
free. The diversion of the excess
profits of the Potomac Electric
Power Company to the traction
lines to compensate for any loss
from the proposed rate cuts was
suggested by c. C.. Mayer.
