Court House Operation
Expense Not Abnormal
1000 School Board Members, Teach
ers, Hear County Auditor
Thomey Outline Taxes

"You people of Stearns county
pay for exactly what you get
County Auditor Nicholas Thomey
declared this morning when he adj
dressed a crowd of more than l.
900 school board members, teachers
and visitors at the annual institute
for rural school board members in
the Junior high school auditorium.
this morning.
IF you know of any way to re-
duce taxes without reducing the
standard and moral of your
schools, let's hear about it." he said.
Taking the Grand Central hotel
building in st. Cloud, the value of
which, proportionately, has been
the same for a period of 20 years,
Thomey pointed out that taxes
paid on this building in 1910 were
$9S5.50 and in 1880, $2,774.55 on an
assessed valuation of $33,836. Of
this amount S115.50 went to the
state, SAILS to the county, 1852 8S
to the city of st. Cloud, and $8129 "a
to the school district. OF the coun-
ty allotment $138.72 went for the
revenue fund, $15703, road and
bridge, $46.85, poor, bonds and inter
est, $76.30, and the T. B. test of
Stearns county herds, $22.22.
The county officer expressly
pointed out to the audience that if
the courthouse was operated free of
charge, that no salaries, fuel, in
terest, district court and other ex-
penses of maintenance were paid,
only $63.61 would be deducted from
the tax on this building, or instead
of paying $2,774.55, the owner would
be taxed $2,710.94.
Taxes have greatly increased
from 1910 to 1880, the auditor said.
In 1910 district court expenses were
$4,420.1S, in 1880, SOS, 5S425. The
boarding of prisoners in 1910 was
$936.35, and in 1880, $12,5S4.25. The
poor fund, which is paid to widows,
T. B. hospital and University hos
pital expenses, also has risen from
$24.50 to $40,450 in 20 years. The
road and bridge fund has gone
from $4,000 levied in the county,
which with the state aid $4,000 was
more than enough, to equal $4,000
levied in the county, and $4,000
from the state in gas tax and aid.
TN 1910, however, the county did
not own single pick and shovel.
Now it has three road crews, a
crawling crew, 43 state aid road
men and AZ road men operating on
the county aid, or gas tax high
ways"
Auditor Thomay was particularly
emphatic about the actual expenses
of the courthouse, because, as he
said, high taxes had been laid at
the door of the county executive Of
ficials and their assistants.
"You take your assessed va!ua-
ton and multiply it by 1873 mills
and you will find out how much the
courthouse is costing you this
year." he told the school officers.
Supt. VIM. A. Boerger presided
during the meeting. H. E. White,
executive secretary of the state
teachers retirement fund, spoke and
answered questions. He explained
the new teachers retirement fund
law.-St. Cloud Times Journal.

INTERSECTIONAL
SERIES STARTED
In BIG LEAGUES
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 8. (UP)-Inter-
sectional competition began in the
National League today with the
Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds
coming to the Atlantic seaboard.
The Cubs, holding third place in
the national standings, open against
the second place New York Giants
while the lowly Reds, who have won
but two of II contests, clash with
Boston. The other clubs will not
begin east-west play until later, the
Pittsburgh Pirates opening with
Brooklyn Sunday and the leading
st. Louis Cardinals going to Phila-
delphia Monday.
Boston's Red Sox, considered the
weak sister of the circuit, upheld
the honor of the eastern clubs by
trouncing Cleveland, to 4. The
defeat reduced the leadership of the
Indians to one-half game over the
New York Yankees and Philadel-
phia Athletics.
Wes Ferrell, who recently pitched
a no-hit, no-run game against
st. Louis, was the victim of the
Boston bombardment. Ferrell was
removed in the first inning after
the first three men to face him
had doubled. The Red Sox pounded
out Is hits against four Indian
hurlers, while old Wiley Moore, who
relieved MacFayden, Boston's start
ting pitcher, In the first inning, held
the Indians at bay.
Detroit was the western repre-
sentative to come through, defeat
ing the Washington Senators, to
2, in 10 innings. Akers' double,
scoring Owen, broke up a pitchers
duel between Brown of Washington
and Whitehill of the Tigers. Each
club got nine hits
The other American League games
scheduled were rained out.
Only one of the two scheduled
games in the National league was
played, the Brooklyn Robins defeat
ing the Philadelphia Phillies, to 3.
Joe Shaute, former Cleveland
southpaw, turned in his third VIC
tory of the season over the Phillies,
although he had to be relieved by
Jack Quinn in the ninth inning
Stewart Bolen, International league
recruit, held Brooklyn to four hits
but the Robins punched their blows
in the fourth and sixth innings to-
gether with a base on balls to win
the game. =

Three of the best track teams in
the country gathered here today in
hopes of setting new worlds rec
ords at the annual west coast re-

Two of them, Stanford and Los
Angeles athletic club, also were out
to check the ambition of the third,
the University of Southern Cali
fornia, two times winner and per-
manent possessor of the trophy
should they win tonight.
Besides the group conflicts, the
meet promised to produce several
stirring individual tilts. There we're
16 national and world champions
in the list. Hec Dyer of Stanford
and Frank Wyckoff of Southern
California renew their classic ri
valry in the 100-yard dash. Each
has beaten the other within the
year, and tonights duel will be
complicated by the entry of Cy Le-
land, former Texas Christian star,
now running for the Olympic Club
OF San Francisco.
In the javelin throw, Ken
Churchill, University of California
find. was TO try to better the world
record, something he has done seve-
raj times In practice.
The Stanford one-mile relay team
that last week set new national
intercollegiate record against U. S.

with the l6-pound shot, was to face

Studebaker cars, at prices ranging
from S845 to $4,000 at the factory,
according to Rogers &c Tison, Stud

practically everybody now has
the opportunity to enjoy the many
advantages in thrill, comfort, SAFE

However, free wheeling is but
one of many advantages that the
new Studebaker cars have to offer.
Supplementing this epochal innoy-

knockdown was clean, while Reyes
set him down more because the San
Diego boy was off balance. Fast
fighting and heavy punching
marked the sixth round and despite
two terrific s,nashes to the jaw with
which Monroy rocked Reyes, the
Brawley boy held him even. That's
three rounds for Reyes, two for
Monroy and one even. We wish
somebody would tell us why Monroy
played continually for the jaw when
he could have worked havoc with
Reyes mid-riff 1t was rattling
good fight.
Florencio Villa failed his way to
decision over Pelino Kilat, in a
wild swinging, catch-as-catch-can
rough and tumble opener. 1t was
completely devoid of science, but
both boys fought and fought hard.
One doesn't expect too much in the
preliminaries and for Amos Chicks
information we might state that
Villa and Kilat are what we had
in mind when we told him boys
who will fight are welcome in the
preliminaries, even though they may
not be boxers. The novices who will
not fight-they don't belong in the

Three good fights out of four

is added evidence, however, that the
Big Business interests which are
opposing the veterans will leave
no stone unturned omislead the
American people. Big Business
controls the policy of three-fourths

who is ignorant of the motive be-

seem that the men who offered
their lives in defense of the coun-

greatest enemies. The veterans,
however, are not unmindful of the
fact that the United States is the
richest country in the world to-
day; that it owes its riches and
