MILK MATTERS

Plans for what is expected to be
the most far reaching investigation
OF the milk industry in history ar;
being carefully mapped out at the
Department of Agriculture
Not much is being said about ii
publicly, but those on the inside
predict tumultous upheavals once

is one of the big figures behind
the proposed investigation.
Drastic changes in the 10 Re-
9ional Labor Boards throughout
the country are being considered
by the Presidents new Labor Rela-
lions Board.
The purpose is to try to expedite
the handling Of local labor dis
turbances. At present each board
is working in different manner,
causing a great deal of confusion
for the national body
Proposed changes are expected to
include a realignment OF geograph-
ical set ups, probable personnel
changes in some of the regional
boards, uniform procedure in the
handling OF labor difficulties and
a possible reduction in the number
of boards.

BRIDGE EMPLOYEE
INJURED ON ROCK
IN IA FOOT FALL
S. l. Perry, Bird Island, Knock
ed Off Scaffold by Plank;
Skull Fractured

The first serious casualty on the
new Redwood river bridge occurred
early Friday morning when S. I. Per-
ry of Bird Island, a workman, fell
from a 14-foot scaffold to the jagged
rocks below.
He received two left leg fractures
below the knee, skull fracture, face
and head abrasions and severe bruis-
eS.
Perry was working on the first
scaffold, handing ten-foot double
planks to a workman on the scaffold
above. One of the planks Perry was
handling slipped off the guard rail.
The man above had a poor hold on
the other end and when it swung
around, pendulum style, it struck
Perry.
The impact threw him off the plat
form. On the way down, he struck
several parts of the scaffold and it is
believed that many of his injuries
were received in that way.
Other men on the job, heard the
crash and rushed to him. He was in
the bottom of the valley and the only
way of getting him out was to scale
the wall.
Three men, Ben Briedenbach, sup
erintendent, Axel Mortenson and j.
J. Jeppeson, helped to drag Mr.. Per-
ry out of the pit.
He was taken to Northwestern hos
pital in Minneapolis where he will re-
ceive medical attention.
M. Garnhardt, another bridge
worker, fractured two ribs and injur-
ed one arm when he fell off staging

Theatre Here FavOrs
Legion of Decency

Previous to the establishment of
the Legion of Decency, D. w. Buck
ley, manager of the local picture
theatre, was aware of the fact that
many of the pictures which he and
other managers were forced to pur-
chase were not in keeping with the
principles of public decency and as a
result he did not show $1,000 worth
of pictures which he was forced to
pay for, irrespective of the fact that
he did not show them. AS a result
Of the Legion of Decency he was en-
abled last week to refuse $500 worth
Of pictures which he considered not
up to standard.
This policy of cooperation he in
tends to pursue throughout the year,
thereby giving to this community pic
lures that will furnish clean enter
tainment devoid of Objectionable
features.
Rev. Godfrey O'Sullivan says that
he has complete confidence in the in
tegrity of Mr.. Buckley and that he
is certain that the above stated facts
will be confirmed in the pictures dis
played in the local theatre especially
in contrast to other amusement cent
ers where public feeling and decency
are not taken into account.

30 Fail to Pay Last
Half of Personal Tax

Thirty taxpayers of Redwood coun-
ty who paid half of their personal
tax before March 1, under provisions
of Chapter 379, Laws of 1888, failed
to pay the last half before July 1, A.
P. .Falk, county treasurer, states.
This law provides that if the tax
exceeds $40 it can be paid in two in
stallments-the first before March
and the balance before July I. 1t al
so provides that if the tax is not paid
the treasurer shall Immediately make
list of the unpaid portion of this
tax to the clerk of court of his coun-
ty. Upon filing of such list the clerk
shall Immediately enter a judgment
for the amount of such tax, with
penalties and costs. 1t also provides
that the payment of the first half
shall be deemed an admission Of the
validity of such tax, a waiver of no
tice and consent to the entry of
judgment for the amount thereof to-
gether with interest and penalty.
In other words, under this law
judgment is entered Immediately af-
ter June 80 adding about $1.75 costs
in addition to the penalty for each
unpaid tax.

COMMISSIONERS
CUT COUNTY LEVY
ANOTHER $4,000
Unemployment Office to be RuT
Part Time with Renville
County Bureau
LAUTERBACH IN CHARGE
Road and Bridge and Old Age
Pension Funds Reduced by
$4,000 Each

Redwood county commissioners
wrung another $4,000 out of the tax
levy for the year at their meeting
Tuesday, reducing both the road and
bridge fund and the old age pension
fund by $4,000.
The road and bridge appropriation
was reduced from $4,000 to $45, 1000
and the pension fund, an expense
added by state law last year, was
trimmed from $4,000 to $4,000.
Further reductions in other depart
ments are practically impossible,
members of the board agreed.
The personnel of the highway de-
partment will not be affected by the
cut, it is understood, but the appro-
priation does not allow for much new
construction.
The report of the highway depart
ment states that the bridges are in
good condition and that little money
will be needed for that end of the
department. They have been plank
ed, painted and creosoted in recent
years which should last for several
years.
1t is estimated that about $4,000
is necessary for the maintenance of
the roads which includes needed gra-
vel, snow fences, grading, bridges
and other items. In recent years,
$4,000 has been borrowed from the
road and bridge fund for the poor
fund and if the highway department
needs more money before the year is
out, it is probable that some Of this
money will be paid back.
The poor fund, which for several
years has been the subject of much
discussion, was left at $4,000. The
revenue fund remains at 100000.
Gordon M. Larson, field supervisor
from Fairmont, appeared before the
board in the interest of the National
Unemployment office. He explained
that Redwood and Renville offices
would be joined in an effort to cut
expenses unless the commissioners
wished to continue the services of G.
R. Engeman, head of the Redwood
county office, at the county's ex-
pense. The board voted to get along
with three days a week service from
the joint office which will be headed
by John w. Lauterbach.
Much of the time this week will be
spent in examining the books in the
county offices.
The problem of insurance for emer-
gency relief workers was settled at
the meeting when commissioners de-
cided to handle the insurance if the
county is reimbursed by the town.
ship, school district, village or city
where the work is done. This action
is expected to speed up approval Of
jobs as the problem of insurance has
held back some jobs.
One more project was approved
this week by the state department.
The Wabasso school will be repaired
and repainted by six men who will be-
gin work Friday, July 20.

452 HOMES IN CITY
Homes Occupied by Owners Are
Assessed at 25 Instead

bert johnson reveal.
The grand total of assessable rea
property in the city is $2,090,986
Under the old law 40 per cent of this
amount or $836,394 would have beer
taxable. Under the new law part il
figured at 25 per cent and part al
40 per cent and the taxable value i:
$7O5,297. An increase in the rate
with the result that property no
coming in the 25 per cent classified
tion will pay more than ever is be
lieved to be the inevitable result.
More persons and firms were as
sessed this year to bring the full rea
estate valuation to $2,090,986. Thi:
amount includes: lots and land:
$474,534; buildings $1,578,052 ant
