STOCKS DECLINE
81 TO So A SHARE
Rail and Steel Issues Are
First to Feel Pressure
of Selling Wave.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. October 23-The stock
market swept into another broad de-
cline today as offered shares swamped
traders and forced prices down 81 to
as much as S8
Railroad and steel issues were the
first to feel the selling wave, which,
however, soon spread through all divi-
sions of the market. United States
Steel common dropped to new low
level for the year, and Union Pac Ac,
Louisville 81 Nashville, Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific suffered wide losses.
Investors disappointment with the
freight rate increases granted the car
riers yesterday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, coupled with the
fact the market already had discounted
them in higher prices the last few
days, was said by brokers to have been
one of the primary causes of the slump.
Volume. as it has been every day
during the kaleidoscope week of
breaks and rallies. was heavy, with
the ticker tape behind actual trans
actions by as much as four minutes
at times. Buyers were not plentiful,
and the frequent wide spread between
offering and bid prices caused diff

tions.
Announcement the Interstate Com
merce Commission had granted the
application of Southeastern railroads
for an increase in passenger coach
fares had little effect upon the carrier
shares.

loadings had declined more than sea-
sonally last week and unofficial pre-

Sports
BY Dick Cullum

Minneapolis, July $50 a
bunch O. the fans were sitting
around and they were talking on
this and that as fans do and the
general opinion was that youth
must be served. And everyone
agreed and then someone went out
to prove it-for instance someone
like William Burwell Of the Mill
ers, AZ years old; someone like
Pop Jesse Haines, of the st. Louis
Cardinals, A years old; someone
like Lefty Grove, SO, etc., etc.
What a day on that scoreboard
such as the one which bobbed up
last Friday when you had Haines
and Burwell pitching with success.
Haines went the route to give
Brooklyn one run, Burwen was q
relief hurler for the Millers and
got out Of jam when he went In
by throwing just one ball. 1t re-
suited In a double play.
The secret, Of course, Of all this
seemingly strange business Is con-
troll. And that Is why we advise
every youngster who wants to go
in for baseball-get control. Go out
there in the back yard and throw
a spike, at a hole in the fence,
even at a good sized board, II you

Fashions
By Marjorie Ellis McGrady

Minneapolis, July 27.-Fall and
winter fashions are already surg
ing towards the one and only spot
light The difficulty of reporting
them this early is that as yet no
one knows for sure which fashions
will turn into weeds and which
will turn into cold weather highly
desirables. We can, however, re-
port with certainty on the fall ia
brio story as well as fundamental
silhouettes.
If a fabric looks and feels like
wool, it is probably silk. Where
as if it looks and feels like silk,
nine out Of ten chances it is wool
In other words many of the newest
woolens are smooth and soft as
silk and many of the silks are
rough in the manner of fine wool.
Velveteen will play an important
part in the fall fashion picture. It
is going to make a big hit with
the school girl. AS for velvet, well
the stories about the new velvets
are hard to believe, but we are as
lhCy dIC IL uCs llIo 1d4A VIC
can not only buy crush resistant
and water repellent velvet, but
velvet that will wash and iron .
yes, iron on the wrong or right
side. We haven't had chance to
try it ourselves, but we are told
when we do we will be pleased
with the result.
Silk jersey is making a big noise
on the fashion front this fall. The
majority Of jerseys being shown so
far are black. They are just about
all draped or shirred and have the
straight and slender silhouette.
Skunk Is to be one Of the fur
prides of the season. The white
mark is dyed and the skins made
up in drop lines or as dropped
skin coats in the furriers' lang
uage. Skunk combines being prac-
teal with fashion rightness the
clock around.

State Property Tax Is
Cut 20% By Legislature
Senate Forces $6.0OO,OOO Reduction
In Appropriation Demands In
Special Sessions

Taxpayers here will get a reduc-
ton Of approximately 20 percent in
the state tax levy on property
which they now are paying, the
Minnesota Federation for Tax Re-
form pointed out in a report re-
ceived here today analyzing effects
of the legislation passed at the
special session of the legislature
just closed.
The legislature passed a bill just
before adjourning which places a
limit of 10 mills on the levy which
the state may make on property In
1887 and in 1885, making a reduc-
ton Of about 20 percent from the
present state tax Of 12:45 mills.
New Homestead Law
In addition, the legislature also
passed a homestead exemption bill
which will exempt the first $4,000
of value Of a homestead from the
state tax on property except for a
levy for debt that had previously
been contracted. A tax levy OF
about Z mills will have to be placed
on the first $4,000 of value OF
homesteads for state debt purposes
in 1887, Constant Larson. Of Alex
andria, president Of the Fedora
ton, said, and a levy Of about 8
mills will be needed in 1888. A no
ticeable reduction will be made,
however, compared to the present
levy, and in time this will grow as
state debts are paid off.
The legislature apparently has
worked out a tax program that
will provide the additional funds
needed and at the same time al
low a reduction in the tax on pro-
perty," Mr.. Larson said. 1.-TWO fac
tors have made possible these saw
ings to property owners. In the
first place, the legislature had
made a big increase in mining
company taxes. utility taxes, In
heritance taxes and income taxes
on corporations and individuals
who have the ability to pay. Ap-
proximately $21,OOOOO0 Of new
revenue. 1t Is estimated, will be re-
ceived from these sources In the
two years.
1.-THE special session has cost
taxpayers Of the state 100000, and
1t is to be deplored that such an
expenditure was necessary to bring
about some measure Of economy.
But the people Of Minnesota can
be thankful that members OF the
senate refused to capitulate and
stood their ground. Appropriations
for the biennium have now been
reduced approximately $1,000 900
below the lowest amount which
members Of the house were willing

money on the war debts, be set
aside as a national holiday to COM
memorate the fact that we are
suckers-won't help his reputation
any.
And yet. Representative Knutson
has a point.
His sin Is, perhaps, that he car
ries his arguments to a logical con-
clusion.
In 1917 he was against the entry
Of this nation into European war.
He was against the expectation Of
young men to Flanders to die in
some one else's cause.
He was one Of the few who had
the courage to defy the propagan-
da-inspired hysteria Of 1917 and
vote his own conviction.
Today, probably a majority of
our people would say, rightly or
wrongly, that it was not a good
thing for this country to have en-
tered the war.
On the surface, then, a majority
of us should admit with Congress
man Knutson that we were played
for suckers
But we won't.
And the poor representative
whose fault Is that he thinks in n
straight line-remains suspect"
and more than a little queer"
It's paradoxical world.-Des
Moines (Iowa) Tribune.
There can not well be any separ-
alton Of human rights and proper
ty rights. Property right is hui
man right. And how can q person
expect security in his human
rights If he has not security in his
property rights? OF what benefit
is this new social security program
If the attitude towards property
rights is such that no one will lay
aside whereby he can contribute
towards the security Of those who
have no property. Our human right
to property has been established
by divine law in the command
ment, "Thou Shalt Not Steal" and
sometimes we can not help but
feel that we are in many ways be-
coming rather lax in our observ-
ance of this commandment.-The
Glenwood Herald.
Farmers Have The Power
AS Governor Lehman, Of New
York recently said: 1.-THE farmers
have all the power to solve every
major problem" This power lies In
cooperative organization to dis
pose of produce to the best ad-
vantage, and to raise 1t most
economically and scientifically.
It is a fact that the tens OF
thousands Of farmers belonging to
Well established marketing cooper
atives have gone far ahead Of I'M
organized farmers in the last de-
cade. Such cooperatives provide
what individual farmers lack
mass bargaining power, equal in
size and strength to that of whole
salers and distributors. They place
the farmers on an even footing
with those to whom he sells. This
has been one of the most encour-
aging phases Of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.-Mankato

NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS IN
THE LEGISLATURE

The most hectic and history
making extraordinary session Of
any Minnesota legislature came to
a close but a few minutes before
these lines were written. It was
hectic because of the wide diver
gence Of opinion between the two
legislative bodies and the constant
interference in legislative action
on the part Of his excellency. Gov.
Benson, and it will go down in his
tory for two reasons: ~ The first
time that any Governor so forgot
himself as to allude to any legis-
lative committee as being "asin-
inc, immoral and dishonest" and
(2) the first time that a legislative
act has been changed or caused to
be changed at the command Of a
Governor or his underlings.
1t would require far more space
than the editor Of this publication
could possibly give to present the
many interesting things that have
occurred during the eight weeks
that have made up the doings Of
the legislature and the doings Of
the administration. Suffice there
fore in this, my last letter to ex-
pose just a few things, leaving to
the daily papers the newsworthy
task Of presenting the enactment
of laws.

ment of the Governor, made before
a e-rO,lp of township and county
officials whom he had called to st.
Paul to bolster his losing fight for
the appropriation Of SIT, 600, 900 for
relief. I am not so hidebound as to
criticize any man, Governor or
private citizen. who in the heat OF
a political campaign or In a pri-
vate transaction, might forget
himself and use language OF a
slanderous nature. All humans
