eating the death of man believed

body was found this morning be-
side the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks near Philadelphia, Ind.
While officials stated that a fall

they point to several unexplained
details. Possibility that the mes

DR.. Allen said there is fracture

bruises on the hands.

Treasury Orders Pay Roll
Records Be Kept by
All Firms.
| PER CENT LEVY IN SO
2 Per Cent Required for
1887 and 3 Per Cent
Thereafter.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-
The New Deal reminded en-
ployers today that taxes to
finance unemployment bene-
fits under the Social Security
law will be placed in effect on
Jan. /.
The Christmas mails will carry
Treasury orders TO all employers of
eight or more persons requiring that
they begin keeping pay roll records
at the start of the new year. Tax
collections will be based on those
records.
The Treasury directed employers
to maintain records showing the
gross pay roll, total taxable pay roll
and the number of persons EN-.
ployed and length of employment.
No special form of record is pre-
scribed.
Requires Keeping of Records
employers claiming to be ex-
empt from the tax should keep rec
ords to establish their exemption"
| the order said. No records of
amounts paid to particular employees
are required.
Employers not proving exemption
are required under the act to paw a
tax equal to per cent of their gross
pay roll for the calendar year 1896:
2 per cent for 1887, and 3 per cent
for 1888 and thereafter.
Taxes collected are to be paid
into an unemployment trust fund
to be established by the Treasury,
but no benefits are to be paid for
unemployment occurring during
1886 and 1887.
State Laws Must Comply
An amendment sponsored by Sem
ator Bennett C. Clark Cd, MOI,
provides employers may credit the
Federal tax, up to go per cent Of
the total, on all taxes paid into
state unemployment funds.
States to receive payments from
the unemployment trust fund must
pass laws complying with the Fed
eral statutes by Jan. /. Several
states have urged an amendment
which will permit them to pass
complying laws any time in 1886 20
become retroactive to Jan. l.
The Social Security Board has in
dicated sympathy with proposals for
a retroactive law. Failure to pass
such an amendment, it was said,
would require many states to hold
special sessions of their Legislatures.
Employer Is Defined
The law seeks to guard against
court attacks on constitutional
grounds through a section declar-
ing that no persons shall be re-
lieved of compliance with a state
law on grounds that he is engaged
in interstate commerce.
The law defines an employer as
any person having eight or more
employees on each of 20 DAYS dur
ing the taxable year. each day be-
ing in calendar week.
Excluded from provisions of the
act are agricultural labor, domestic
servants, crews of vessels on navi-
gable waters of the United States,
those in the employ of member Of
his or her own family, state, city,
county or Federal employees, and
employees of charitable, religious,
scientific, literary or educational or
CARNATIONS.

various European centers, that the

100000 ACRES
MORE FOREST
Large Acreage Added to the
Superior National Forest
by u. S. Commission.

Ray U. Harmon, supervisor of the
Superior National Forest and the Mes
aba National Forest, was in the city
Saturday and while here told of the
enlargement of the forests by the adj
dition of approximately 100000 acres.
While the official notice had not been
received at the Duluth headquarters of
the Forest Service giving the exact
boundaries of the additions to the SUI
perior as authorized at the recent
meeting of the federal commission, the
general outlines are indicated on maps
showing the areas agreed upon by the
forest service and the Minnesota Con-
servation Commission.
They add three tracts, totaling about
100000 acres. The first is the Snow
bank lake area, strip of Northern
Lake county SO miles long and II miles
wide. This strip lies between the nor
them boundary of the old forest and
the international boundary. It includes
A~@<&AAy AoAIS, Ak1AxC VA WAA4S4 dAC WCa
known to any but wilderness wanderers.
The road entering the area is a forest
road 20 miles long from Winton to
Fernberg lookout. This was built by
Lake county with funds contributed by
the forest service. It now will be within
the forest. The closest other road is
=
way at Seagull and Saganaga lakes. It
is about six miles east of the eastern
end of the newly added tract. The area
now is in wilderness, and the probability
is that a proclamation soon will be
issued adding it to the primitive area
of the forest, Mr.. Harmon said.
The second division to be added is
the BURNSIDE area. This will bring the

The proposed state constitutional
amendment ratifying the 1888 ex-
pansion Of the trunk system and pre-
venting further additions until the en-
larged system shall have rs per cent
permanently improved, failed of adop-
ton at the general election in Nov
ember, 1894. Since then there have
been suggestions that further additions
be made to the system at the 1895
Legislative Session.
1t is true that certain logical ad-
ditions to the trunk system were not
included in the 1893 expansion. How
ever, the danger is great that if these
should be added in 1885, the door will
be opened to demands for inclusion OF
a large mileage of new routes which the
Highway Department will not be finan-
cially able to maintain. Unwise ad-
ditions also would invite litigation which
might jeopardize the present status of
the trunk system. Therefore no pro-
poSals for new additions at this time
should be granted without the most
serious consideration.
Serious financial embarrassment is
caused the Highway Department in
those years when the Legislature ex-
tends the time limit for payment OF
motor vehicle license fees. To enable
the Department to meet its obligations
up to the deferred date established for
license payments, it is recommended
that the Legislature authorize the De-
partment of Highways to anticipate
such delayed license fee receipts from
available state funds.
Untaxed Motor Vehicle Fuels.
Improvements in internal combustion
motors are making it possible for more
and more motor vehicles to use fuels
other than gasoline. Such fuels are
not subject to the Minnesota Gasoline
Tax. 1t is obviously unjust to tax the
gasoline used in most motor vehicles
and not to tax a different fuel used in
other motor vehicles transporting COM
modities on the public highways
Remedial legislation is needed.
Drivers License Division.
The 1888 Legislature enacted a
Drivers License Law and placed its ad-
miniStration under the Commissioner
of Highways. No adequate provision
was made in the legislation for financ-
ing the operation of this act on a per-
manent basis. Unless such provision is
made, an effective administration can
not be provided in the future.
