JULEP EXPERT
ACCEPTS DARE
BY irwin COBB
Eddie of the AStor to Meet
KentuCkian Two Falls to
Finish in Contest.
BY H. ALLEN SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, july l3-EQQie OF
the Aston. one of New York's most
famous pre-war bartenders, has ac-
cepted the challenge of Irwin S. Cobb
for a mint julep mixing contest, to
be held in the Cobb residence, two
falls to a finish, this reporter to
furnish the mint
The contest will be judged by Hey
wood Broun and will be held at an
indefinite time one day this week
because, as Cobb puts it, 81 read in
the paper where it's against the law
to mix mint juleps, except for sci
entific purposes, and with Broun
as judge there won't be any science
about it. You can say that am
in the pink of condition"
In the pre- battle statement, issued
exclusively to the United Press, Ed
die of the Aston said: 80 will win
hands down. Tell Mr.. Cobb to have
some French brandy on hand"
Mencken Too Busy to Judge
Informed of this request, Cobb
snorted: Brandy! He's licked be-
fore he starts. Putting brandy in
a mint julep is like putting ketchup
in iced tea. You're going to see old
Kentucky triumph, as only old Ken
lucky can triumph. Bring mint"
H. L. Mencken, the Baltimore
sage, was to have been one of the
judges but he announced, with
throb in his voice, that he has to
leave New York for home today ito
witness a hanging of a man who
puts bourbon whisky in mint
juleps."
In Maryland" Mencken said, I'VE
use rye whisky. Bourbon puts too
much meat on the consumer. Look
] at Cobb. He would butcher better
| than I would. If we had cannibal-
ism in this country he would fetch
at least six dollars more than me-"
Scores DenOunce Cobb
Mencken said that the original
mint julep was developed in the
/ tideWater district around the Chesa-
peake bay and was mixed with
brandy. Various states devised their
own methods, however, using whisky
exclusively, because brandy is too
expensive.
Cobb revealed that since the mint
julep controversy arose, and since
he denounced all forms Of julep eX-
cept those concocted in Kentucky,
he has received scores of letters
from all over the country, most of
them denouncing him as a shyster,
a drinker Of sheep dip, an alchem-
list, and dope.
Most of the letters were in de-
Tense of the Maryland, Georgia,
Louisiana and Virginia brands of
mint julep.
Broun accepted the job of judg-
ing the contest with some trepida-
ton.
Il don't know thing about mint
julepS," he said, but I'll be able
to tell which one tastes best and
which one has the more effective
wallop. The only mint juleps 1 ever
drank were made out of gin and
| ginger ale, with a couple of cubes
of ice thrown in.
However, I shall go into inten-

sive training, and you can depend
upon me not to partake of any al
coholic beverage whatever, not even
80 beer, until the main go. I wish
you would tell Cobb to have a speck
Of gin around because I might want
to show them few things about
mixing drinks before it is over"

REGISTRATION
LAW COST MAY
HIKE TAX RATE
Boost of | Cent in Marion
County Levy May Be
Result.

Cost Of carrying out provisions
OF the 1888 statute for permanent
registration Of voters probably will
result in an increase Of l cent in
the 1884 tax levy, in Marion coun-
ty, it was predicted today.
Plans for setting up the machin-
cry necessary for the registration
were discussed at meeting of
county officials, who made no at
tempt to conceal their disapproval
Of the new law.
The three county commissioners,
Thomas H. Ellis, Ernest Marker and
Dow Vorhies, County Clerk Glenn
RalstOn, County Auditor Charles A.
Grossart, and his chief deputy, F.
w. Biemer, attended the session.
All Voters Must Register
Unofficially, the estimate of the
initial cost Of filing equipment and
registration was placed at 100000 In
succeeding years, it is expected that
the cost of keeping records up to
date Will be approximately $4,000.
The law, which was backed in the
legislature by the League Of Women
Voters, fixes Jan Is, 1884, as the
first date for registration
Under the law, each voter will
be recorded by the county clerk and
will not be permitted to vote I'M
less qualified by legal registration.
Changes Will be kept up to date as
voters move from addresses and
precincts.
Chief objection to the law as
voiced was the expense entailed
A week ago it was predicted that
at least 10 cents would have to be
added to the 1884 county levy. A
100000 deficit and payment of old
age pensions, plus poor relief and
regular election expense were cited
as reasons for the anticipated tax
rate increase.
Regarded as Mandatory
On the present assessment ratio,
each $4,000 of revenue represents
l-cent tax levy, leading to the
prediction that the expense of reg
istration will result in the levy rise.
Wording of the registration law
that the council shall make an APP
preparation is regarded as manda-
tory and in a sense smoothing the
way of the officials with the coun-
Gil, which already has given warm
ing that little increase in the levy
will be approved.

the same with many working men.
Automobile owners generally are

and insist they must be reduced to

The house motor vehicles COM
mittee reported out a committee
bill, making a so per cent cut in
the minimum rates and only 25 per
cent in the basic rates. Later High
way Commissioner N. w. Elsberg
and Senator ]. M. Regnier appeared
before the committee to argue
against drastic cuts in the license,
and the bill was recalled. Action
was held UP for week, and efforts
are being made to have the COM
mittee put in a much smaller cut.
Even with so per cent cut in the
minimum rates and 25 per cent in
the basic rates, the house commit
tee is offering automobile owners
only portion of the relief recon-
mended by Mr.. Holm and the sem

would give about 250,000 automo-

Local Units Cut
Tax Bill $9,000,000
Adding Costs for Two Years Shows
the Taxpayer Benefits by
! $4,000, 10000

Levy reports coming in from 83
counties in Minnesota indicate that
tax cuts in local units of govern
ment in 1892 will exceed $4,000, 900,
the greatest single-year record of
tax reduction since the taxpayers
got into the picture, according to
"a statement issued today by the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.
The savings to the taxpayers in
the two-year period now amounts
to $24,000,000. This amount remains
in the pockets of the earning pub
lie. Government costs have been
reduced, local units serve as effic-
iently as ever, and the taxpayers
will get the benefit, tax officials
stated.
According to the report Stearns
county has made total cuts of
$202.567 as compared with the levy
of last year.
Stearns county's reduction is
made as follows: state, $33,342;
county, $69,8O5; township, $36,244;
city and village, $23,344; school dis
tricts, $46,457; total $2O2, 2,567.

Big Fight Required to Get
5O% Cut in Auto Licenses
Efforts Made to Hold Up Reduction
Urged by Mike Holm, Tax As
sOciatiOn Warns

The proposed so per cent cut in
the automobile license recommend
ed by Secretary of State Mike Holm
has attracted wide support from
all over the state and started one
of the biggest controversies of the
present legislative session, accord
ing to reports from st. Paul today.
Opposition has developed to a
full so per cent cut in the license,
particularly in the lower house, and
automobile owners will have to
bring considerable pressure to bear
upon their representatives in the
legislature to get the reduction, Of
ficers of the Citizens Tax Relief
Association warned in st. Paul this
week. The Tax Relief Association
has been carrying on a fight for a
full SO per cent cut in both the
basic and minimum rates used in
computing the auto licenses. This
would make licenses cost half what
they now do.
The senate vehicles committee
has recommended favorably bill
which makes the full so per cent
cut as Mr.. Holm recommended. The
house motor vehicles committee has
baker at the proposal, however,
and John F. Scott, st. Paul, presi-
dent of the Citizens Tax Relief AS
sociation, says that automobile
owners will have to make a real
fight to get approval for the so per
cent cut through the lower house.
IT hope all automobile owners
who are interested in getting
the so per cent cut will write to
their representatives and senators
and tell them they want a so per
cent cut in both the basic and min
imum rates." Mr.. Scott said. Some
of the substitute plans that have
been suggested would give the au-
tomobile owners only a small saw
ing.
Taxpayers are up agianst it and
must have relief A cut of so per
cent in the auto license would be
a very immediate and welcome re-
lief, and the highway department
would not suffer. Even with this
cut, the department would have
about $3,000,000 this year for new
construction after paying all main
tenance costs and other expenses.
With rs per cent Of the trunk high
ways completed and all but 115
miles paved or graveled, that is am
pie for new construction. We can
well afford to go a little slower in
times like the present.
II know of many farmers who
have old cars that are not worth
over $40 or SIS, and wet they are
required to pay SO license fee,
Many write that they cannot do it,

Last u. S. Land Office in
State Closed January 3 l
Cass Lake Was the Last of 30
Government Still Owns 100000
Acres In Minnesota

The last of Uncle Sans land of
fees in Minnesota closed Jan. 81,
there being no money to keep it up,
says the Minneapolis Journal.
The office is located at Cass Lake
and in it's files are records of every
federal land office, which at one
time numbered 80 in the state.
President Hoover recently signed
an executive order closing the Cass
Lake office, along with others 10
Gated at Little Rock, Ark; Alliance,
Neb., and Gainesville, Fla, all Of
which showed a deficit in opera
tions last year, that at Cass Lake
being $2,174.
Before the days of the Civil war
the federal government opened it's
land offices in the state, because
most of the land still belonged to
Uncle Sam and people were clam
oring for it's settlement. Millions
and millions of acres of this land
has been sold and hundreds of
thousands of acres deeded-or to
use the federal term, patented" to
the state.
Today only 100000 acres of fed
eral lands remain, which, according
to P. M. Larson, in chrage of the
Cass Lake office for the last eight
years, is not all saleable, some Of it
being peat land in Koochiching and
Lake Of the Woods counties.
The Cass Lake office was estab-
lished about 80 years ago in the
administration of President McKin-
ley and so it's patents contain sig
natures of every president since,
because each original patient had
to bear the presidents signature.
1t was opened at the time sever
al thousands of acres of Indian
lands were released for settlement,
and in its more than quarter of
century of existence has disposed
OF millions of acres. It also has
leased thousands of acres of tim
Der lands to the states large COM
panies for numbering. The Indian
reservation logging office, located
also at Cass Lake, had supervision
of the land clearing, which pro-
duced more than billion feet of
lumber.
