NeID Legislators
Are Tax-Minded.

That the newly-elected State Legis-
latllre will consider the matter of high
taxes as of paramount Importance was
revealed today in survey by the
Minnesota Taxpayers association. Out
of 131 members just elected to the
House, lot revealed their economy views
to the tax association, while but "a did
not answer. The survey shows that out
of the lot members, 1O4 just elected in
dicated their willingness to support the
proposals for reductions in government
costs, they expressed desire to work
for an effective expenditure control law,
and other measures deemed important
by the tax group.
Only 10 out of the 81 newly-elected
Senators failed to indicate their views
on tax matters.
"This is remarkable thing" James

sofa Taxpayers association, stated in
commenting on the survey. "It is" he

fighting for will have the support that
taxpayers over this state feel such a
forward-looking program deserves"
The Minnesota Taxpayers association
for more than year has been devising
comprehensive tax program for the
state. Officers of the association have,
for this purpose, made first-hand
studies of the tax systems in several
states, and they have had the Co
operation of tax administrators in these
states.
With the strong legislative backing,
the State Association now is mapping
vigorous campaign to translate these
reforms into sound, workable laws,

Hunters Told to Watch
For Chance Infections

The hunting season annually produces
serious injuries and illnesses that never
reach the headlines according to a
bulletin of warning issued by the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
These are above and beyond the &C
cidental deaths of which this season
has already brought its sad quota, &C
cording to the doctors. Nearly all
hunting niSadVentures could be pre-
vented by exercise of ordinary care and
horse sense, they believe, though horse
sense seems to be a rare commodity
Hunters continue each year to try to
change seats in boat, to drag their
guns, muzzle foremost, over fences and
through brush and TO carry their guns,
generally, in improper positions
THE unnoted accidents which often
have serious consequences are the
trivial injuries which are neglected
says the bulletin.
Gun shot shells contain wadding
made of horse hair and wounds from
these shells are quite likely to contain
tetanus germs. Unfortunately, these
germs find favorable conditions for
growth in gun shot wounds no matter
how trivial. 1t requires ten or twelve
days for lock jaw to develop. Treat
ment is serious problem and the out
look is exceedingly grave when that
time arrives, however. Prompt atten-
ton at the time Of the injury will pre-
vent serious developments later, moi

due to the fact that until the 1885
legislature has finally acted on the
question there still is some uncertainty
as to the manner in which such lands
will be administered.
Although it is practically certain that
rates will be increased in 1886, nc
change in the rental policy on state
lands was recommended for the coming
year. The aim in 1886 is to make the
rates higher at least to the extent thai
wherever practicable the leasing cost
will be at least as high as the tax in

TUXEDOESLOSE
TWO GAMES AT
LINCOLN

Flushed with the success of being
State champions for two years, the
Tuxedoss had a rude awakening Sun
day, June IL.
Battled off their feet by a much
nferor team to a 5 to 0 loss in the
first game, left the Tuxedoes com
letely stunned. But then Lincoln re
peated again with an II to 8 victory,
that woke the Tuxadoes up too late
to the fact that a team is only as
good as base hits and defensive play
is registered during each game.
Up-to-date, the 1884 Tuxedoes
showed that they are not the team
that won the 1882 and 1888 state
titles. The defense is ragged, and
the batting does not measure up to
what it hould. Manager Jewell should
awaken to the fact that clowning is
alright as an advertising stunt, but
poorly played games doesn't make the
turnstile click. Practise, and plenty
Of it is what they need.

interest and feeling for them last fall
