State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

We are still waiting for those
streamer headlines in the daily press
announcing the fact that the state
real property tax for 1887 has been
reduced by some four million dollars,
as announced by G. A. Halverson,
state treasurer, several weeks ago.
We do not in any way attempt to
insinuate that the newspapers refrain
from printing the news. Nevertheless
we have an idea of what they would
do with a story of this kind if such
a tax reduction were brought about
during a Republican administration.
We have accustomed ourselves to
a certain amount of unemployment
and q certain number on relief. But
when one out of five young people
in the state are still dependent on
their parents, and when only about
one out of three have full time en-
ployment, it is time for the Polly
annas to stop being cheerful and be-
gin to think. 1t is even time for
some of the Republican candidates
to do some thinking, particularly the
candidate who a few days ago at
the University offered ''to restore
young people to their freedom"
What the young people of this state
need, as one of the students so well
remarked, is not more freedom but
more work.

Farmers in corn areas have ex-
pressed concern over the size of allot-

officials report that most of the diff

has been considerably reduced.

The Federal Housing administra-
ton has announced new farm mort
gage program which may prove very
beneficial to farmers. 1t will guaran-
tee loans made by various private
agencies to farmers.
Loans up to $4,000 are to be made.
Almost the full amount of appraisal
will be loaned, officials said, and land
or other property can be used for the
necessary down-payment for the rest.
1t was believed that private money
would in this manner be turned back
to agricultural needs.

In newspaper advertisements the
Tri-State Telephone and Telegraph
company recently complained that
their taxes in the past two years have
doubled, indicating that this utility is
paying more than its just share of
taxes.
The exact opposite is the case,
George E. Wallace, member of the
state tax commission, declared, in
statement issued refuting the claims Of
the telephone company.
Commissioner Wallace very Signl-
fcantly points out that the telephone
company pays a gross earnings tax
in lieu of all other taxes, which means
that telephone company property, in
Guiding buildings used for telephone
purposes, do not contribute cent for
local taxes, being exempt from the
levy on real property.
During the period when real prop
erty taxes were increasing, which
trend started sharply in 1922, the
gross earnings tax of the telephone
company remained the same. 1t
wasn't until the last legislature that
this tax was raised from four to seven
percent.
''It is quite apparent" Commits
sioner Wallace said, shat the tele-
phone companies have not paid their
Just proportion of taxes during all the
years when real property taxes were
going up This means that the gen.
eral public has been paying that part
of their taxes which they in equity
should have been paying all these
years"

A very significant move for the
future of conservation in Minnesota
was the formation last week of a
statewide conservation adviso
council. This group, according to
Conservation Commissioner Herman
c. Wenzel, will aid in formulating a
conservation program for action by
the coming Legislature.
Among the groups which have been
asked to name representatives on this
committee are: State Federation Of
Labor, State Federation of Women's
Clubs, American Legion, Izaak Walton
League, All Clubs, Minnesota Game
Protective League, Arrowhead Asso-
citation, Northwestern Minnesota As
ISOLATION of Conservation Clubs,
Farmers Grange, Farm Bureau,
United Sportsmen's Protective Asso-
citation, Stevens County Conservation
League, Minnesota Wildfre Fedora
ton and the Minnesota Junior Cham
Der of Commerce.
DR.. Raphael Zon, director of the
Lake States Forest Experiment Sta
ton and DR.. Samuel Eddy, fish au-
thority at the University of Mime
sofa, have individually been asked
to become members of the council.

the bottom from dropping out of the
market yet it raises serious ques-
ton of the effectiveness of scarcity"
The unanswerable fact is that agri-
culture is still deep in depression, that
we are at a point where the theory
of scarcity must be given up, not in
a way which admittedly will mean
only more scarcity, but in manner
which will bring abundance to all.
Despite the business recession, Min
nesota Cooperatives report the con-
tinued expansion in their business
this year.
A statement issued by the Midland
Cooperative Wholesale shows tank
car shipments of petroleum products
during the first three months of this
year are so percent greater than
for the corresponding period in 1887.
This increase is due, the statement
says, to continued increase in bust
ness of local cooperatives.
A report of the Farmers Union
Central Exchange shows a similar
trend 1t reveals that the Farmers
Union Cooperative Wholesale handled
more than five million gallons of gas
oline, kerosene and distillate at its
warehouses in st. Paul and Billings,
Mont, during the month of March,
which set a new record for this in
