Wheat Limit Exemption
Is Asked OF A. A. A.
State r.. & w. Commission
Cites Declining Wheat Crop
As Reason For Request

A determined effort to have Min
nesota spring wheat growers, and
those Of the neighboring states of
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, exempted from the wheat re-
striction clause Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, was launched last
week by the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission.
A resolution, citing the fact that
wheat production in these states is
steadily declining; that is has never
amounted to over-production, and
that the wheat growers Of these
four states would have to eliminate
some six million acres of wheat in
order to share in the benefits Of the
A. A. A., has been forwarded to the
Department Of Agriculture In Wash
ington.
The resolution, signed by Harold
Atwood, chairman, Charles Mum
and Hjalmar Petersen, members of
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission, suggests that
every consideration be given to the
appeal Of producers Of hard spring
wheat for, and their exception to
the proposed reduction in acreage"
1T Is not the purpose Of the Com
Atwood said, ito oppose
the program or benefits of the Ag-
Adjustment Act in any
way. We simply maintain that, due
to q steady decline in wheat pro-
the producers Of these four
states have actually been ahead of
the A. A. A. crop curtailment pro-
gram and that they are therefore

wheat acreage allotment set up un-
der this Act.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO CITY TAXPAYERS
August 2. 1888.

To The Herald:
The reception accorded me as
City Assessor has been almost uni
versally of cooperative and help
full nature, fact which has been
most pleasing to me and which has
aided greatly in my work.
have used the word Assessor
in the above sentence, and from
now on am going to use the word
appraiser" To me, the word "as-
SCISSOR" is a dimnomer, for do not
assess property appraise it. AS
a matter Of fact the assessing is
practically up to the County Audi
tor. The appraisal value is of course
the basis for the assessment. As
sessed values are the basis for the
amount of tax, and If I start to talk
about assessed values and taxes, I
am Immediately drawn away from
the proper consideration Of apprais-
ed values, for all taxes are too high,
in fact think If all taxes were cut
in two, they would still be plenty
high. cannot cut appraised values
because taxes are too high, for If
cut all values in two, and the Board
Of Equalization and the County
Auditor passed upon these values,
then the tax rate would have to
double. So that in the last analy-
sis, the only thing that I can do
is to make an attempt at equaliz-
ing values so that Tom, Dick and
Harry pay the same taxes in pro-
portion to the actual valuation Of
the property taxed. Therefore, if I
am to accomplish the best results,
I cannot talk in assessment terms,
I must stick to appraisal values.
The name of City Appraiser would
much more accurately describe my
position than the present name Of
City Assessor.
My instructions were very speci-
fic, namely, to inspect all property
of every nature, and as far as pos
sible to equalize values further than
they have been, if that be possible.
Former assessors have made mis-
takes, and perhaps I will make as
many as have been made hereto
fore, for the job Is a most difficult
one, and it would be hard to attain
that Utopian state wherein no err
rors occurred. I must follow the
present base values, which should
make the final total figure approx
mately the same as it has been. I
endeavored at the outset to change
these base figures, even taking the
matter up with the Minnesota Tax
Commission, but to no avail.
Difficulties will arise, and the diff
ferences of opinion will ever be
present, but cannot ask for or ex-
pect a more cooperative and help
full feeling among property owners
than has been accorded me this
spring. Nor can express in words
my full appreciation of this attitude
on the part Of practically every
body. OF particular interest to me,
however, is the valuable informa-
ton which so many have freely
furnished, and which is always help
full. run across some of this daily,
and since practically all of it is Of
a helpful nature, it helps me in my
work. Yes, I have made mistakes.
but they have been made with
sincerity of purpose when am con-
tinually trying not to make mis-
takes. If I am shown any error,
wish to be the first to acknow-
ledge it.
Yours truly.
G. v. Morse,
City Appraiser.

Miss Unger reports that they

the first battleships and other war
vessels which the Minnesota folk
had ever seen. The party made this
trip in the first streamlined ferry
boat ever put into service in the
world. It is called the Motor Ferry
Kalakala. This, said Miss Unger,
was the greatest thrill Of her life.
The party also visited Mt. Rain

and is beyond doubt the most ma

States. It has over fifteen large
glaciers in its mammouth canyons.

In her letter, Miss Unger said,
that after a trip to Vancouver, b.
c., and Grand Coulee Dam, the en-
tire party will travel east for a
visit at Yellowstone National Park.
From there the Minnesota folk, who
made the entire trip by automobile,
will return home, and the Seattle
people will take the train to their
home.

WELL, THE time has come when all good
w shoppers must make out their lists and come
to the aid of Santa Claus" No, it is not day
too early as one trip to the stores will convince
you, and even though you may have shopped
early last year. don't you remember how busy
you were as the holidays drew near? 1t is the
same every year. We used to be one of the late
ones ana with all the last minute hectic rush
there was hardly enough energy left to enjoy the
tree and family gathering.
During these late fall days when there are so
many important social events, you can't expect
to just take the holiday responsibility in your
stride It takes lots of planning and time to save
yourself the worry and WORKOUT look that always
go with the Christmas Eve tying of packages.
For your comfort, we must tell you there need
be no great strain your imagination to find
a suitable gift for everyone. We have had
preview of most of the fine new beauty gifts and
they are done so well and attractively, one will
find really lovely gifts all the way from fifty
cents up to all you can spend.
Some of the very inexpensive gifts are in the
manicure boxes which are so nice to give to the
very young to acquaint them with the fact the
nails need attention These miniature boxes are
a joy for the hostess who likes to have them on
hand and keep in all the rooms just in case the
. guest may forget to bring her own outfit
The bigger and better packages naturally cost
more and are more suitable for gifts. They range

Encourage your child to ask
questions, for then he learns
more readily. When he is old
enough to read there are ency-
clopediaS for children; refer him
to them when he asks questions.
This trains him to go to the
proper sources for his informa-

have here in Ontario a chief jus

the age of "a. But he is still
young; at his age he still has an
inquiring mind.

being pressed for information

He was a busy man, country

Better to
Admit Ignorance
Another mistake parents make
is giving flippant answers to
their child's queries. OF if they
don't know the right answer,
then they tell the child anything
at all. This isn't right. If you
can't give the correct answer.
then admit it to the young one.
Admit your ignorance and tell
him that you will find out for
him as soon as you can. In this
way you will build UP within
the child a trust, q belief in
what you tell him.
Remember, this sometimes an
noying habit of asking ques-
tionS isn't just idle curiosity. It
is an instinct that the human
race began to develop hundreds
of thousands of years ago. Print
ing only dates back to the fiji
tenth century. Before that the
spoken word was the only means
of communication, except for .
few scholars, most of whom
were in monasterieS. Man
learned to use words so he could
ask questions; so he could sat-
isfy his curiosity; so he could
gain knowledge.
When your child asks ques-
tions. therefore, he is just fol-
lowing an instinct that was de-
veloped in our remote ancestors
when foreheads were a great
deal more sloping than they are
now.

Methods Used

tell you all about it. not mean

to select the most likely candi-
date and describe to you, if you
had any influence at all, all the
candidates vices and all the
story-teller'. virtues.
The least important reporter,
whose timid paragraph possibly
might have a subconscious in
fluence on a Senator, heard all
about it. 1t was wonderful.
Fay Bentley didn't say any
thing about it to anybody. But
a bright group of people thought
of her, and said a lot about it.
Little by little, her name crept
into the vanguard of candidates.
Miss Bentley wouldn't comment.
Miss Bentley wouldn't even COM
ment on the other candidates,
which is hardly human. Miss
Bentley was appointed. and all
