Although the big tree will be
alight as usual and the customary
wreaths will adorn the White House
windows, the pre-Christmas part
for the socially-elect children OF
the capial will have a different
tone than in happier years. No re-
freshments will be served and no
favors handed out.
Instead, each little guest has been
asked to bring a gift-not for the
President and Mrs. Hoover, but for
some child less well situated. The
ivitations urge the guests to bring
toys and warm sweaters "or other
things children would like who 9TH
erwise would not have much
Christmas"
About 200 children received invi-
tations for the party, and the invi-
taions said:
"This is not like the Christmas
parties you usually go to, where
you get lots of toys and presents
to take home and very many good
things to eat"

Agriculture has many problems
and right now in this depression

unjust basis of taxation Is one Of
the major problems confronting the
land and property owners, taxes
should be based on the income from
property instead Of on the assessed
valuation Of property. This tax
chart tells the story. Who pays
Minnesota Taxes? The total in

Wednesday of last week large.
ly attended meeting of the Stearns
County Taxpayers Association was
held at the Community rooms of
the Court House, st. Cloud. Charles
Miller, of this city president of the
association, presided.
The purpose of the meeting was
to confer with the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners and the county
officials to see if ways and means
could not be provided to still fur
ther reduce the tax levy for 1882.
One of the highlights Of the meet
ing was a request that the county
officials and employees of the coun-
ty voluntarily accept a 20 per cent
reduction in pay for the coming
year at least.
It Is understood that this request
covered a mailed fist, almost an ul-
timatum in fact. The organiza-
tion's officers expected to receive a
reply by Saturday.
The salaries Of the county offic-
ials were fixed by legislative enact
ment. Probably the salaries Of the
employees might be set by arbi-
trary action by the county board.
If the officials accept a reduction
in salary which the law says they
are entitled to 1t will be an unusual
experience to say the least.

lower house of the Minnesota Leg
islature, Holdingford, occupied
much of the time on the floor.
