the AAA set-up for this year. With

ports are concerned and the

from any Of the recent years. Be.
sides that, in this years meetings,
an attempt is being made to fit the
farming operations to this years
program with emphasis being
placed on better use Of hay and
pasture in a livestock county such
as Stearns. The meetings are open
to the public and every person with
an agricultural interest should at
tend one. The complete schedule Is

The Governor mapped out a fin
ancial program which will carry
the state through the next two
years without increased spending,
he said, and result in a further re-
duction of approximately $4,000, 900
in the state debt.
Governor Stassen recommended
that the total state real estate tax
levy on real estate be 9.5 mills, or
half a mill less than it has been
the last two years, with the def
mite objective ultimately Of COM
pletely removing this tax from real
estate"
Expressing the belief that min
ing and shipment Of ore will reach
record proportions during the next
two years, Governor Stassen said
the state should receive a mini
mum of $50O0,000 for the revenue
fund and $3,500,0OO for the trust
funds each year. He suggested
that the state taxes on iron min
ing be raised to accomplish this

that the "ore which costs the
least to mine from open pits and
furnishes the least employment
bears the heaviest percentage of
the tax, and the ore which furn-

more to mine will have a higher
rate Of taxation" The changes rec

The governor recommended pas

form to the one he vetoed two
years ago as the only legal method
left open to the state to tax ma
tional banks. He proposed a rate
of 895 instead Of the 6 per cent
bill two years ago, expressing be-
lief this can be sustained. The

Plan Opening Of Stamp
Program February 3rd
Continued From Page One)

On a voluntary basis, persons
who are certified will be permitted
to purchase Orange Stamps in ar
amount that will enable them tc
buy the amount Of food they now
are receiving for themselves and
members Of their families. Fol-
each dollars worth of Orange
Stamps so purchased, they will be
given so cents worth of Blue
Stamps free. The Federal Govern
ment pays for those Blue Stamps
with funds voted by Congress to
help move farm surplus.
Thus, Welfare Director John
Kraus pointed out, under the Food
Stamp Plan those needy persons
will have their food purchasing
power increased so per cent. The
Orange Stamps may be used to
buy any food usually sold in food
stores for consumption off the
premises, while the Blue Stamps
must be used to purchase foods
designated as Surplus by the Sec
retary of Agriculture.
Foods on this list for the current
period are: Butter, raisins, rice.
pork lard, pork, corn meal,
shell eggs, white flour, whole wheat
flour, dried prunes, hominy (corn),
grits, dry edible beans, Irish pota-
toes, fresh oranges, fresh apples,
fresh pears, fresh grapefruit, fresh
cabbage, and onions Except green
onions.)
Between now and the opening
date, the Food Industries Commit
tee will carry on a comprehensive
educational campaign to acouaint
members of the food trade and pub
lie assistance clients with full de-
tails of the Plan.
The Food Stamp Plans is little
more than a year old. It had its
beginning in May of 1889, when
Rochester, New York, became the
first city in the United States to
exchange food for Stamps. Inaug-
uration Of the Plan follows a ser
les of conferences between Henry
A. Wallace, then Secretary of Agri-
culture, and Milo L. Perkins, pres
Ien.t Administrator of the Surplus
Masleti1g Administration, and a
group Of leaders representing agri-
culture, labor, and the food indus
