schoolhouse where they were held.
1t has been decided to make the
fair an annual event.

Relief Purposes
Draw Large Part
OfCountyLevies
Appropriation H a In
creased From $4,475,-
654 to $lO,595, $50.

More than one-third of all taxes
levied by Minnesota counties now
goes to pay poor relief costs. Poor
relief constitutes the largest single
levy made by county boards today,
and has grown from $4,475,65 in
1884, to $10,595, 450 in 1888, accord
ing to a report just issued by the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.
These are purely county levies and
do not include contributions of Fed
eral, state, or municipal bodies.
In the same period, Indebtedness
of all units in the state has been
increased $22,9O4,OO for relief pur-
poses alone.
While general revenue costs for
in the four-year period, and other
taxes have been cut $193, 1885, only
one item other than relief has shown
rise, and that is county highway
levies.
A half million men, women and
children in Minnesota, nearly one
fourth of the states population are
dependent on public assistance, eth
er direct or work relief.
A Big Problem.
Cost of all relief in Minnesota ex-
ceeded $1O0,000,OO0 in 1888, includ-
ing amounts paid by Federal, state
and local government. These pay
ments, which include bonds issued,
almost equals the total amount of
all real estate taxes collected This
charge is equivalent to a per family
cost of $160 for every family in the
state.
The Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
ton, through its president, James P.
Mcdonnell, calls upon all public Of
ficials and taxpayers organizations in
statement just issued "to make
check-up of their own local situations
with a view to working out some
definite means of coping with the
problem
"Assuredly the Federal government
is destined in the future to reduce its
grants to local government for this
purpose, and when it does these local
units are going to be in serious
plight unless they are forward look
ing and begin to get their houses in
order before the eventual blow
strike. When that time comes, we
may not be able to borrow our way
out as we are doing now" Mr.. Nc
Donnell stated.

Drivers Warned
AS To Hazards
State Highway Chief Calls

toring Danger.

M. j. Hoffman, state commissioner
of Highways, this week urged motor
lists, especially night drivers, to ex-
erciSe extreme caution and alertness
against seasonal traffic hazards pre-
vailing to an extraordinary degree
at this season of the year. These

ers for the movement of farm ma
chinery and hauling of bundle grain
in hayracks to threshing rigs and
from one field to another, and some
grain hauling to elevators by teams
and trucks;
Heavy traffic in the vicinity of
county fairs, harvest festivals and
other community gatherings;
Transportation of exhibits and
heavy automobile travel from all
sections of the state to the state fair,
opening Saturday, August 26, in ST..
Paul;
The influx of lake residents to
cities and towns to prepare for the
opening of the school year.
At the same time w. F. Rosenwald,
traffic engineer and director of the
Safety division of the Highway De-
partment, warned motorists afflicted
with such minor difficulties as flat
tires, engine trouble or other occur
rences requiring them to stop, to
pull well off to the side of the
road, clear of the line of traffic"
He cited that 10 people were killed
and 1872 injured last year in 631
accidents to parked cars.

Advise AS ToThe
Hunting Season
Upland Bird Season for
1889 Will be up to Pub
lie Opinion.

Lewis H. Merrill, acting commits
sioner of conservation for the state
of Minnesota, is sending out a ques-
tionnaire to all organizations in the
state interested in wild game con-
servation, requesting data on which
to base a decision for an open season
this year on upland game birds.
Under the law passed by the 1899
annual open seasons are
provided for on pheasants, quail,
ruffed grouse, prairie chicken, sharp
tailed grouse and Hungarian part
ridge, between September Is and
November 80. This season is not to
exceed % days on pheasants, quail
and ruffed grouse, and not more than
Is days on prairie chickens, sharp
tailed grouse and Hungarian part
ridges.
Asks Public's Advice.
Since the definite dates of these
open seasons are not specified in the
law, it is up to the conservation
commissioner to set them. This he
is required by the law to do not later
than September 1, each year. Wish
ing, as far as possible, to defer to
the judgment of the hunters and
other people interested in effective
conservation of the states wild game
resources, Commissioner Merrill is
use of this QUESTIONABLE in
an endeavor to ascertain what the
majority public opinion actually is
on this matter.

Associated Press Financial Writes,

NEW YORK, March 31.-The
stock market, recovering today at
the opening for as much as point
or so from yesterdays sharp tumble,
suffered another sharp relapse
around midday and replaced gains
with losses of l to 4.
Dealings, fairly active in the first
period, dWindled for a while unit.
insistent selling again hit the list
and, for time, put the ticker tape
behind. Near the fourth hour some
comeback was in evidence and the
pace slowed.
Tending to hearten speculative
sentiment at the start was the
declaration of Prime Minister Cham
berlain to Parliament that Great
Britain and France would fight to
preserve Polish independence while
pursuing means of stabiliZing the
European situation.
Anguished traders who dumped
holdings in the final hour of the
preceding session on unconfirmed
rumors of an overseas blowup ap-
parently switched to the buying side
on the thought the sitter attitude
of the democracies might avert
threatened war. Fading of the rally,
brokers said, reflected renewed fears
of what Hitler might say in a speech
scheduled for tomorrow.
Business news, generally, was with
out particularly stimulating aspects
and hopes seemed to have waned
that Congress would eventually get
busy on tax revision.
Prominent stocks on the retreat
were United States Steel, Bethlehem,
General Motors. United States Rub.
ber, American Telephone, Westing-
house, Chrysler, General Motors,
Douglas Aircraft, Santa Fe, United
States Gypsum, Johns -Manville,
WoolWorth and Kennecott.

Sixteen of the banks reported to-
day that their deposits were higher
than on the December call and the
other six noted decreases. Although
the aggregate increase is compara-
lively small, it is sufficient to hang
up new record.
While deposits a month ago were

will cause some surprise among bank
