1t is common practice, according
to refuse division supervisors, for
householders or their servants to throw
garbage from kitchen windows, over a

The City Refuse Division, restricted
by lack of funds to the smallest clean

to clean out alley squares only once

Adds ABABA, March 30.-An
Italian air raid which spread fire ana
panic throughout Harar wrought vr-
tual destruction on that second city
of Ethiopia, the government charged
today, and wrecked several hospitals
and French centers.
A squadron of Fascist planes, Eth
iopian reports said; plunged incendlary
bombs down on the strategic center
$50 miles east of the capital and 30
miles south of the Adds Ababa-
Djibouti Railroad for more than two
hours yesterday, leaving the city in
flames.
Forewarned by scouting planes,
however, most of the populace tied
the city in terror, adviceS to the
capital said, and few persons were
believed to have fallen victims to the
bombardment.
Three Hospitals Bombed.
An official communique, relayed by
telephone from Harar to Adds Ababa,
said Is bombs struck the Egyptian
Red Cross Hospital there, several hit
the Ethiopian Red Cross Hospital
and two fell near the Swedish Hos
pital
A French mission, the French con-
sulate, the former Italian consulate,
the Ethiopian radio station and prison,
all were reported officially to have
been ruined.
"Msgr. Jaroseau, in charge of the
French mission, refused to leave his
altar during the bombardment." the
communique said The church was
wrecked, but he was unhurt."
The attack on Harar, coupled with
q heavy bombardment Of Jijiga, 80
miles east of Harar and center OF
Ethiopias southern defenses, raised
native fears in Adds Ababa that the
capital itself might be the next target
of the Italian aerial bombs.
Might Infiame MoSlems.
Capital sources declared Harar had
been declared an open town, COM
pletely demilitariZed since December
of last year. They expressed belief
that the bombing Of that city great
Moslem center, might inf1ame Moham-
medans throughout the world.
Ethiopian reports said Is Italian
planes first roared over Harar from
one side and 35 flew in from another
side Just after dawn yesterday, but
these squadrons confined their activi-
ties to scouting.
From Is to 20 bombers swung over
the city at tbs am, advices to the
capital said, and rained their deadly
cargo until $50 am, when they
turned and flew back to their bases

this amount, 1897 was for cars OPP

In the six-months period, the pa
troll tagged 24,417 drivers for oper-
ating with illegal equipment and
II, POI for operating with improper
license tags. In the same period,
4,409 violators of various traffic

Minnesota Farm ~" e,r. !,
Bureau Tourist Camp
Urged To Bring Own Camping Out
fit-Camp Equipped With
Gas Stoves

The Minnesota Farm Bureau
state fair tourist camp Is being
made ready for the hundreds Of
farmer campers who will make
their home during state fair week,
Sept. SIP. Last years registration
exceeded the 5000 mark. If the
drouth has not cut too heavily into
farm income, this years camp
should break that record, as the
camp makes new friends annually,
who spread the word around their
neighborhood that the Farm Bur-
eau gives fine service at its big
free camp. 20
Those who plan to attend the fair
are urged to bring their own camp
ing equipment, so that they will not
have to expend money on hotel bills
while in st. Paul. Among other
conveniences, the camp is equipped
with gas stoves where meals may
be prepared by the campers. Many
campers bring considerable food
from home, thus further reducing
expenses. A grocery store on the
camp grounds sells food at reason
able prices; and to those who come
equipped a week at the state fair
costs little more than a week at
home. Campers are urged to come
directly to the camp before enter
ing the fair grounds proper, to
avoid paying admission charges on
their car. Most campers prefer to
leave their cars parked in the camp
grounds. The admission to the fair
proper is rs cents per day per per-
son.

Average Auto Tax Would.
Raise Road Fund
Highway Department Needs More
Current Revenues, Less Bor-
rowing, Elsberg Says

If Minnesota motorists paid as
much as the average motorist in
the United States in motor vehicle
license fees and gas tax, the state
revenues for road building purpos-
es would be increased more than
$7,500,000 a year, according to an
estimate by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner.
This amount Of money would pay
for more than 300 miles of concrete
paving a year, or triple that mile
age in an intermediate type bitum-
nous surfacing, Mr.. Elsberg stated.
It also would obviate the issuance
of further state highway bonds to
match federal aid funds. Part Of
such an increase, If derived from
gas taxes, would go to the counties
for use on county aid roads.
ION October the state will sell
another 100000 of it's bonds to
enable the highway department to
obtain $3,4OO,OO0 Of federal aid
funds for the current fiscal year."
Mr.. Elsberg said. THE issuance of
bonds was authorized by the legis-
lature for this year and last be-
cause current revenues Of the high
way department are insufficient to
meet requirements. In 1888 reven-
ues Of the department were de-
creased by cutting motor vehicle
license fees, while the mileage Of
the trunk system was increased IS
per cent. This situation has not
been permanently remedied, but 1t
has been met temporarily by bor-
rowing money. This policy should
not continue in the future"

property levies this fall, Mr.. Lar
son pointed out in telling what
other states are doing. An amend
ment to the state constitution,
known as Amendment No. 2, Is to
be voted on at the November cleo
ton, which, II passed, will abolish
any state levy on general property
except for the one-mill road tax
and for debt incurred prior to JAN
uary 1, 1887.
Many states already have taken
similar action, the study disclosed.
Thirteen states made no levy on
property for state purposes for this
year, and a number Of others have
very small levies, rejecting a gen.
eral tendency OF the states to re-
lieve the load on general property.
The states where citizens have
been relieved Of a state property
tax are California, Delaware, Hin
OILS, Michigan, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Da-
kota, Vermont and Virginia. Ken
lucky also has abolished it, effect
i've in 1887.
The state tax on property is neg
ligible in Wisconsin, amounting to
only II cents per capita this year
compared to Minnesota's $7.16.
Levies in some Of the other states
are Indiana, $40; Kansas, $500;
Nebraska, 1922; North Dakota.
$3.50; Massachusetts,, $2.28, and
Missouri, $1.35.

Minnesota Tax
Levy Near Peak
Burden Placed On Property Own
ers for State Expenses Exceeded
In Only One State

Inc StdIe Oh MlIlHeSOLd Is UOTC-
ing it's citizens to pay the highest
per capita tax on general property
in the United States this year with
one exception, officials of the Min
nesota Federation for Tax Reform
pointed out in a report received
here today comparing property
tax burdens throughout the coun-
try.
The state levy on homes, farms
and other general property which
Minnesota citizens must pay this
year amounts to S716 for each
man, woman and child in the state,
Constant Larson, of Alexandria,
president of the federation said.
Only in Utah does the state levy
reach such peak, and the only
other state whose levy approaches
that Of Minnesota Is Nevada. Both
Of these states have a small and
scattered population, Mr.. Larson
pointed out, and are hardly COM
parable with Minnesota.
The report was based upon data
gathered by the Minnesota Insti-
tute Of Governmental Research
and covered all states.
The Minnesota levy is about 10
per cent more than the state levy
paid here last year, and it would
be much more II the state were
levying taxes to cover all the mon
ey being spent. Where the state
levy being paid this year Is 1887
mills, estimates have been made
that at least 20 mills will be need
ed for 1887 II the state levies taxes
on property to meet the huge de-
ficit that now exists In the reven-
ue fund and finance out Of cur
rent revenue some Of the new OBJ
legations which are being carried
now through the bond issues.
Minnesota voters will have q
chance to halt this increase In state
