1.34 Mill Old Age Pension New
County Burden; School
District One Down
STATE RATE UP 2.s1 MILLS
County Townships Make Biggest
Savings in 1888 Levy; Cut
Made On Schools

The tax rate in Redwood Falls will
be 20 mills higher for 1888 than for
1882, due to the old age pension law
which boosts the county rate and an
increase of 2.81 mills in the state
rate.
The rate here will be 1871 mills
which includes 24.3 mills for the city,
1877 mills for school district one,
11.06 for the county and 1904 mills
for the state. Last year the levy was
85.2 mills which included PAL for the
city, Alb for the school, 1856 mills
for the county and 1925 for the state.
The one mill school tax is also includ-
ed in both instances but the 1.34 mills
for old age pensions is a new burden
for Redwood county taxpayers impos-
ed by the last legislature.
Redwood county townships led the
way to tax reductions, the rates for
1888 being less than half of the 1882
rates in many cases. Villages in most
cases run similar to last year while
some reduction was made in most of
the school districts.
By adding the state rate and coun-
ty rate, which is 24.1, to the rate for
the township or village in which one
lives and The rate for the school dis
trict, any taxpayer in the county can
determine his tax rate from the fol-
lowing table.

that are usually used in such cases
and telling these people that they will
get their pay any way without be-
longing to a union.
"The police in Boston are using our
girls in very bad fashion, and despite
the fact that we have assured them
that they have no need to be afraid
to join any union, that it will not be
used against them, that the employ

girls are being arrested one at a time.

But State Department authorities to-
day smilingly denied that the noted
New York financier and counsellor to

nomic adviser in Baruch's New York
organization, is administrator of the
huge national industrial recovery prof.
ect, and George Peek. another Baruch
man, is administrator Of the agri-

Baruch has welded tremendous influ-
ence behind the scenes Of previous
administrations. President Wilson leaned
heavily upon him during the hectic days
of the World War and named him
chairman of the War Industries Board.
Former President Hoover also had great
respect fer his counsel and consulted
him frequently on large economic
problems
The tall, gray-haired financial expert
is an advocate of sound money and bal
anced budgets. In a statement before
the Senate Committee on Finance some
weeks ago he summed up his creed
thus:
Balance budgets. Stop spending
money We haven't get. Sacrifice for
frugality and revenue. Cut Govern
ment spending-cut it as rations are
cut in a siege. Tax-tax everybody for
everything. But take hungry men off
