The County Tax
Rates Show Some
Increase In Mills
Lower Assessed Valuation
and More Demands on
County Funds is Cause.

The county tax rates have just
recently been announced by County
Treasurer Frank Poferl and show
generally higher rate than last year.
In the case of setting the mill
rate, tax spending bodies find them
selves governed, in large measure,
by the sources of income. There is
certain amount of money required
to meet general demands and there
are only limited sources to get that
money.
In the case of the county for in
stance, the assessed valuation has
been seen to decrease, during the
past few years, from high of APP
proximately IL million dollars until at
the present time it is only about
31a millions. At the same time the
county board of commissioners are
called upon to make increasing ex-
penditures, not through any desire
or fault of their own, but through
the demands of old age assistance
and relief
This year it is seen that the county
mill rate has advanced from last
years rate of 1928 mills to 5093
mills. That increase comes about
because of demands made for in
creased funds. For example during
the previous two years the county
has been able to bond to meet the
old age pension payments, but now
the law states that it shall levy taxes
for that. Furthermore, the federal
government has gradually pulled out
of the relief picture and has left that
burden for the state and counties.
This, added to the problem of a lower

Finlayson Shooters
Still Are The ''Tops''

The Askov, Finlayson and Sand
stone rifle teams shot it out on the
Sandstone indoor range last Thurs
day night and when the smoke cleared
away Finlayson had won by score
of SIG to Askov and Sandstone re-
spectively 449 and 4O6. Hans Nielsen
for Askov, shot high score of 76 for
the evening, but he was closely con-
tested for the honor by Edwin Lar
son of Finlayson, who shot rs.
The teams were guests of the Sand
stone Rod & Gun club and after the
match a lunch was served the boys
by Peggy's Cafe, in whose basement
the range is housed.
Other matches will possibly be ar
ranged before spring between the
same teams and at the same place.

Shipping Body Is
Doing Nice Work
AT Moose Lake
Cooperative Group Serves
Several Pine County
Farmers.

Manager V. L. Redenbaugh, of the
Moose Lake Cooperative Shipping
Association, gave a report at the
recently held annual meeting of the
association which warmed the hearts
of its boosters. According to the
managers report gain was made
during the year 1887 of approx
mately so per cent. The volume
shipped during the year through the
association was 100000 pounds which
brought a net return to the shippers
of S17,684.97.
The association now has a men,
bership of 275 that includes farmers
not only in the Moose Lake terri
tory, but in Denham, Willow River,
Sturgeon Lake, Kettle River and Bar
mum. These facts were all brought
out by the report of Mr.. Redenbaugh.
New officers of the association for
1888 were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, L. j. Beck, Barnum; vice presi-
dent, Einar Lottu, Moose Lake; Sec
retary-treasurer, E. E. Schmidt,
Moose Lake; directors, Erick Ander-
SoIl VI oICl SCOll LdhC, dllI 4NClSOll
Findley of Kettle River.
Enthusiastic Membership.
Much discussion was brought out
at the annual meeting about methods
of handling livestock through the
association and the group of around
so who attended were well pleased
with the results of the associations
business. It is the aim of those who
attended to encourage more farmers
to ship their livestock through the
association where the farmers receive
every cent that the livestock will
bring on the competitive market at
South st. Paul, instead of selling to
some trucker or individual buyer
who must make profit off the farm
ers' livestock to operate, says Mr..
Redenbaugh. The livestock for this
association was sold by the Central
Cooperative Commission of st. Paul,
of which it is member.
The Central Cooperative markets
livestock for $4,000 farmers in the
northwest territory. Since the Gen.
trail is strictly cooperative, all earn
ings on commission collected for sell
ling livestock are returned to the
farmers at the end of the year.
This year the Central Cooperative
is paying back 20 per cent rebate on
commissions or a little over $4,000.
The Moose Lake Association will
hold special meeting some time in
March and distribute dividend checks
that are due members of the associa-
ton.

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Funny things happen in the field of
international politics: Last week
Count Galeazzo Ciano, foreign min
carry on a conference with Kurt
Schusschnigg, chancellor, and Guido
Schmidt, foreign minister of Austria,
and with Kolomon Won Kanya, Hun
gary's foreign minister. 1t was very
evident that Italy wanted to align
Austria and Hungary with herself,
so Ciano asked of his felloW-con-
ferees: Will you adhere to the anti
communistic treaty signed by Ger
many, Japan and Italy? Will you
withdraw from the League of Ma
tions-as Germany, Japan and Italy
have done? Will you recognize the
fascist rebel government of General
Francisco Franco in Spain?
Schusschnigg, speaking in behalf
of both Austria and Hungary, declared
that in those two countries COM
munism had ceased to be an influ-
ence, so they saw no reason why
they should join any organization
against that menace; the League they
did not want to leave; Franco might
be recognized to the extent that COM
mercial delegations might be sent to
see him about expanded trade treaties,
but-nothing more!
On that note the conference at Bud
apest ended. But, after it was all
over, Schusschnigg, without commit
ting Austria and Hungary to any
signature of the so-called anti-com-
munistic treaty, said that those two
countries were willing to move ever
closer to the fascist ideals; however
they would still not desert the League

Former Governor Opens
His Campaign for Cuber-
material Nomination in
June Primaries.

In his opening talk as can
didate for Governor in 1888,
Hjalmar Petersen, former gov
ernor, declares for the funda-
mental American principle of
democracy, improvement in pub
lie service through the merit sys-
tenn, experience, judgment and
cooperation. Mr.. Petersen's adj
dress follows:
In the June primary election you
who vote the Farmer-Labor ticket
will choose your leader. The primary
is the result of a long and bitter
struggle by great liberal leaders like
"Fighting Bob" LaFollette, George w.
Norris and others, as means of pre-
venting the nomination of boss-con-
trolled candidates. It behooves Farm
er-Laborites to guard well the prin-
ciple of this law.
Our leaders of the past have in
sisted that the voters should exercise
the power of nominating as well as
electing their public officials. have
always believed in and adhered to
that principle.
1t is true the Farmer-Labor Associ-
alton has its conventions. These con-
ventions endorse candidates, and in
the past the selected individuals have
usually been nominated in the Pri-
mary election. However, there have
been notable exceptions where the
Farmer-Labor voters have repudiated
the convention candidates. Such re-
quotations prove the value and whole
some benefit of the Primary choice
by the voters themselves.
1t must be remembered that not
more than one out of every twenty
voters in the Farmer-Labor party
are members of the Farmer-Labor
Association. The Association has its
place and proper functions, but it
has neither the legal nor moral right
to take from you the right and privi-

Community Meet
Hears DIR. Ehmke
Willow River Physician
Discusses Economies; A
Large Crowd Present.

The Birch Creek Community club
met at the Denham schoolhouse Fri
day evening, January IA. The meet
ing was begun by all singing ''The
More We Get To-Gether" and "The
Little Brown Church in the Vale
Then Earl Grover and Gordon Dolly
sang, There's A Gold Mine in the
Sky" and an encore. Hazel Nelson
sang, "Mexicali Rose" accompany
ing herself on the guitar. DR.. w. c.
Ehmke gave an address on ''Mars and
Mammon." Money, greed, hatred OF
ones neighbors and deliberate bear
ing of false witness against ones
fellow man, on a national and indi-
vidual basis were given as the cause
of war. He advised that it is the
duty of every honest and right think
ing citizen to write their congressman
that they do not want war. The
hurried up showing of the Panay
pictures is only an incentive to stir
American people to hatred of their
neighbors. 1t is neither democracy
nor justice to so stir the American
people to war.
Many other important facts were
brought out and the thought was left
with the people that it is up to them
to do all they can to prevent war and
so to protect their children and
grandchildren from unbearable taxes
and unnecessary suffering.
A skit, "The Paper Don't Say
with Marian Amundson as Mr.. Slo-
cum and Hazel Nelson as Mrs. Slo-
cum, was presented, and a duet was
rendered by Hazel and Oliver Nelson
and an encore.
The minutes of the preceding meet
ing were read and approved. A dis
cussion was opened for beginning q
public library. 1t was suggested that
people donate one or more books fol
that purpose, but nothing definite
was decided.
Friday in February, each member
is requested to respond with song

That meeting is planned to be held
in the Denham schoolhouse also.
The president, Mr.. Nelson, ex-
pressed thanks on behalf of the club
to each one who took part ip the
program. The lunch committee fol
the next two meetings includes Mr.
and Mrs. Emil Erickson, Mrs. Johr
Nelson and Dick Rye.
