American Baseball 100 Years Old

With of the most interesting worlds series
baseball championships just completed it Is interest
ing to know that the distinctvey American game of
baseball had its first crude beginnings about 100
years ago. and the first attempt to develop the game
is generally credited to Abner Doubleday of Coopers-
town, N. Y, in 1889.
In the early days the ball was extremely lively,
being made of two and half ounces or rubber, COW
cred with yarn and leather, and scores high In

Williams colleges July l. 1859, amherst by the

ever, and there were Is players each side.
The first professional team was the Cincinnati

1866, and becoming professional outfit in 1859. In
that year it made tour of the United States, meet

The oldest professional baseball league is the Ma

New York. Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, st. Louis
Cincinnati, Louisville and Hartford. The American
League formed in 1900, the original clubs being
Chicago Buffalo, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit

Taxes Soar Higher and Higher

State Auditor Stafford King announced Wednes-
day that the 1884 state tax levy has been set at 95
mills, the highest rate in the history of the state
The levy this year is 0S9 mills higher than last year
and has than doubled the OSLO mill rate of $780,
is not very favorable, and unless drastic reductions
in expenditures of the state are made there is a
possibility that the rate will exceed 1900 mills
Drastic reductions in expenditures in Stearns
County, it would seem, should tend to reduce the
taxes somewhat-however, according to County
Auditor Nick Thomey that will not be a fact A
100000 drop in valuation will drive mill rate
considerably higher, which is not pleasant news to
the taxpayer.
The state tax in 1880 for this county was s176,-
5S7 in 1888 it was 273,166-an increase in state
taxes in three years OF $96,593.
The total county, city and village township and
school tax in 1880 $1,660905 In 1888 the total
tax from these same sources 81 215 16Ea saving
in local taxes Of $445741.
The st. Cloud Times says: while the taxes of
the county, cities and villages, townships and school
districts were less by nearly half million dollars
in three years. the state tax increased by nearly
hundred thousand dollars"
ands of dollars remain unpaid the tax list. IL
this situation continues, the burden will become more
and more unbearabe and thousands of people, who
pay their taxes will also find their on
the delinquent tax list. No denies the right of
taxation, and denies that he should not pay
to TIE support of government, but it has reached
point where every voter should protest against the
lavish spending of his money.

Dollar Turnover Tax

At the tax meeting held in the High School as
sembly room Friday evening, one phase of the
Gross Income Dollar Turnover tax not dis
cussed made clear. No mention was made of the
number of times the dollar would turnover during
the year-or six months. Take for example, a
laboring man who spends his entire yearly salary,
part of it, for the necessities of life, pays
his tax on every dollar, the merchant in turn pays
his rent and in other ways spends his dollar and also
pays his tax and each man who receives that dollar
also pays his tax, and down the line Accord
ing to figures the dollar would confscate itself with
in six months period, and the wherewitha to pay
the tax would have disappeared.
History records that the Jewish nation had a
similar tax, only instead of paying per cent they
paid 10 per cent. It was not much the Roman
invasion and rule that destroyed the nation, it
their system of taxation.
1t is probable that the business of Sank
Centre did some figuring Of their along this line
and for that reason did not attend the meeting
Every and woman is interested in taxation
might say, tax conscous-but until some
thing much more explicit and workable is presented
it will be better for to continue under the pres
emit plan.

won't have much to do except to

Crombie says that he has found
school men throughout the state
aroused over the plans to change
the educational system.
''The school men resent the in
ference that there is little worth
salvaging in our educational
system" he said. "Nor are the
public school men the only ones
that are aroused. I find that the
Catholic and Lutheran educators
also are alarmed. They realize
that they must modify their teach
ing if this farmer-labor program
goes through, or their pupils will
not be able to meet the standards
for admission to the states higher

Proposed Constitutional Amendments

The proposed amendments to the Constitution
Of Minnesota to be submitted at the election Nove-
Der 9Th will be found in this issue page four
There five amendments, three OF which appertain
to the tax laws
The first amendment to be voted on is to ratify
the expansion of the state trunk highway system as
authorized by the 1888 legislature. It will also pre-
vent further expansion until Is per cent of the en-
larged system has been constructed and permanent
y improved 1t is described on the oniciai oaiiot
as allowing additions to trunk highways"
The second amendment is for the purpose OF
giving the legislature the power to place tax on
state owned lands and to provide for the payment OF
these taxes out of the Rural Credit Department. and
to appropriate to counties, towns school districts
cities and villages. in which located any OF
these owned lands not to exceed the amount OF
money which would be collected as tax from indi-
vidual owners.
Amendment No. 8 is to grant the legislature the
additional power to exempt from taxation such
household goods of each household and such farm
machinery each farm, as it may see ht AT the
present time only 5000 of personal property Is ex-
empt from taxation for each individual or head OF
each household.
amendment No is to authorize the legislature
to provide for exchange of the public lands of the
state for land owned by the United States and pri
vate individuals. These exchanges to be made with
the approval of a commission which shall consist OF
the governor the state auditor and the attorney gem
eral. All mineral rights, water rights and water
power rights will be reserved by the state. Lands
transferred will be subject to the trust the
lands disposed of. If school land is exchanged, the
land received will also become school land etc.
Amendment No. 5 is for the purpose of definitely
defining the tax exempt properties of academies,
colleges universities and seminaries of learning. AT
the present time the law states that the property
owned by these institutions is tax exempt If the
amendment should be adopted the only property of
these institutions to be tax exempt will be that which
is used actually and exclusively in the instruction
and housing of students thereof and the residences
on the campus actually occupied by the instructors.
It is not the Heralds mission to attempt to tell
people how to vote on these amendments. However,
a safe plan to follow is if in doubt, vote NO.

of educational leaders still advocate adherence to

sum of $4,000, and purported to be
