This is the highest state tax rate
since 1865 In forty-eight years it
had not been exceeded or equalled,
and it has been equalled or exceeded
in but one year in the history of the
state. In 1865, when the state was
poor, when its area was but scantily
settled and when valuations were low
and the state's needs great, there was
a state tax rate of six mills.
The next year it was five mills, and
in 1874, the state having settled rap
idly in the meantime, the rate drop
ped to 2.33 mills
THE AVERAGE STATE TAX
RATE FOR THE THIRTY-SEVEN
YEARS ENDING WITH 1910 WAS
BUT 1.83 MILLS.
Since 1910 the rate has gone from
1.47 mills to the 1914 rate of 5 03
mills.
THE STATE TAX RATE HAS
BEEN MULTIPLIED THREE AND A
HALF TIMES IN FOUR YEARS.
This year the rate was 3 58 mills,
and the increase in next year's rate
over this year's will be FORTY PER
CENT.
The appalling increase in the state
tax rate has come in spite of the fact
that railroads which used to pay less
than a million dollars a year through
their gross earnings taxes are now
paying close to five millions a year.
It has come in spite of the fact that
indirect taxes of many kinds have
been created and multiplied.
It has come in spite of the fact that
the iron mines, which were paying
the state in taxes less than twenty
thousand dollars yearly a dozen years
ago, will next year pay the state in
taxes more than a million and a
quarter!
The greater the state's revenues
from new sources, the higher
climbs the rate on which the farmer
and merchant, the laborer and bank
er, must pay taxes.
The Herald said, shortly after the
legislature adjourned, that the legis
lative issue for 1914 should be ECON
OMY AND EFFICIENCY.
Can there be any doubt, in the face
of these figures, that this is the issue
on which the legislature of 1915 must
be pledged?—-Editorial from the Du
luth Herald.

Mr and Mrs Ole Larson, who re
cently moved into the residence they
had purchased at 626 Jessie street,
were given very complimentary sur
prises by their old friends and neigh
bors in Lake Elizabeth and Fahlun
before leaving for this city. The first
occurred on Sunday. Sept. 28, at the
Swedish Baptist church at Lake Eliz
abeth, of which Mr. Larson has been
an active member for many years.
After an interesting service by Rev.
Klingenberg, a man who has built
and maintains an orphanage in Mich
igan, dependent entirely on unsolicit
ed gifts and donations, the friends
gathered about the Larsons, and Rev.
O. E. Erickson spoke the kindly feel
ings of regret of those assembled at
the departure of the friends from
their midst and wished them God
speed to their new home. A neat
sum of money was given them as a
token of the esteem in which they
are held.
On Tuesday evening of the same
week, as the Larsons were topsy
turvy in the midst of packing their
household goods, their home was
presently lighted up with the glare
of auto lamps, and autos and teams
soon filled the yard. It was their
Norwegian brethren and neighbors
under the leadership of Frank Mat
son, Ninus Nelson, Hemming S. Nel
son and others, who had come from
ten miles around to pay their res
pects. The ladies had with them all
the necessary things, including dish
es, for serving refreshments, and a
most pleasurable evening was spent
Mr. and Mrs. Larson were also the
recipients of a sum of money from
these friends The Larsons moved
into their Willmar residence Oct. 2
Mr. Larson spoke very feelingly of
these farewell gatherings to the Will
mar Tribune editor, and asked us to
express his heartfelt appreciation of
the kindness shown by the people of
the community where he has resided
for forty years.

BUILD DEPOT
jNJFIVE DAYS
Big Fire at St. Paul Did Not
Delay Traffic at Atl.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 13.
Building, equipping and opening a
Union Depot in less than a week is
the new record which St. Paul has
just established.
On Friday night, Oct. 4, the Union
Depot in St. Paul was burned. The
fire was one of the most spectacular
ever seen in the city and the build
ing which had long served as a Union
Station was totally destroyed. For
tunately no lives were lost although
there were about 200 travelers in the
building at the time the fire was dis
covered
On Thursday, Oct. 9, a new Union
Depot was opened, fully equipped and
even more conveniently arranged
than the old one. Before the ashes of
the ruins were cold hundreds of men
were put to work to convert a large
store building directly across the al
ley into a temporary station. Walls
were cut thru, stairways were built,
a ticket office and large rest rooms
were established and today business
is going on as if nothing unusual had
happened. Three hundred and thirty
nine passenger trains, more than
29,000 passengers and 9,000 pieces of
baggage a day have been handled in
spite of the fire without a single train
being delayed a single minute. The
400 employees of the depot, aided by
hundreds of other workmen have
been on duty night and day and not
a train has been delayed, not a pas
senger has been annoyed. The su
perintendent of the depot worked
ninety-six consecutive hours without
sleep but results were obtained and
today St. Paul is better equipped to
handle all business than it was be
fore the fire.
Not one piece of baggage in baggage
room was destroyed or even wet dur
ing the fire although there were six
teen large truck loads there not one
letter was lost although 1,200 tons of
mail pass through the mail room in
the station every day.
There is no delay in St. Paul now.
Trains are running in and out as they
did, transfers are being made in the
same manner and passengers are
taken care of in even better shape
than before the fire.
STARTED A BIG YARN
Attempted Hold-up of Marshall Start
ed Bank Robbery Report
at Granite.
Granite Falls has a "nervy" night
marshal. Last Wednesday morning
six men tried to hold him up at point
of guns but he disregarded their
threats and turned a fire alarm
Tie men escaped, but tne jreport of
the affair grew and grew When it
reached Willmar the report had it
that six men had blown up the leading
bank of the town and that the whole
town was out and fought a pitched
battle with bandits The supposition
is that the six men were contemplat
ing some mischief if they had suc
ceeded in putting the lid on the, mar
shal.
Big Yield of Sugar Beets.
A yield of sugar beets is reported
from Renville that surpasses in size
anything heretofore reported. It is
said that on the farm of Daly & Bar
nard the average yield per acre was
21 tons and 8 pounds. These were
sold at $5 00 per ton making some
thing over $105.00 per acre. The
cost of raising the beets was about
$18.00 per acre, leaving a net income
of $87.00. The owners of the farm
attribute the rich yield to the, fact
principally that the ground was
plowed about 14 inches deep in pre
paring it. The beet crop on other
farms near Renville is not as good
as it was last year*—Olivia Times.
Short of Gasoline.
It has been impossible for our mer
chants to get gasoline from the Stan
dard Oil Co. since last Friday. We
understand that the company has a
lot of motor spirit on hand and want
to force the merchants to buy that in
stead. If that is so that is a high
handed way of doing business.
Wright's garage, who get their gaso
line shipped direct from another con
cern, have had no trouble in getting
gasoline and have sold a large quan
tity of it the past week.—Benson Mon

Renville County" Jail Prisoners at
Olivia 8aw Their Way Out 7
to Liberty. jt
Olivia Times: The two prisoners
confined in the county jail made their
escape Tuesday night and are still at
liberty. The escape was made through
a window on the north side of the
jail, one of the bars having been saw
ed off and the iron screen pried open
A small metal saw was found in the
cell and also a stick a few feet long.
The prisoners made their getaway
during the night, presumably about
three or four o'clock in the morning.
The Sheriff and Mrs. Sunde were both
absent from home being on their way
to St. Peter with an insane woman.
Deputy Sheriff Haack served the 'pris
oners at supper time ana left them
locked in their cells. Just how they
got out of their cells is not known, but
it is thought that they manipulated
the levers with the stick .which was
probably passed to them from the out
side. Whether the saw was given to
them by a confederate or was contriv
ed by themselves is not known. One
bar was sawed off and this left
a
opening of only 7 by 12 inches through
which the men pulled themselves to
liberty. Prof. Brodie, who rooms in
the jail was awakened by a noise at
3:30 in the morning, but thinking it
was a telephone call, he paid no at
tention to it. Other roomers in the
building heard no sound.
BUNCOED THE FARMER8
A Number of Farmer* Purchased
Cheap Cyclone Insurance Last
Spring and are Forced to
Pay Assessments.
Last spring a representative of the
St. Paul Mutual Hail & Cyclone In
surance Co., came to town and solic
ited many of our local farmers in re
gard to insuring their crops against
loss by cyclone or tornado. He offer
ed insurance on very reasonable
terms, the rates being 15 cents per
hundred for every hundred taken.
During the past week the policy hold
ers have been notified that there was
an assessment due on their policies
that must be paid at once. Farmers
that held $4,000 policies were asked
to send a check for $45. The matter
has been taken up with the state in
surance commissioner. There is a
moral to this*—Hereafter buy all
kinds of insurance from local men
that you know.—Dassel Anchor.
Dairymen to Go to Willmar.
At the annual meeting of the execu
tive board of the Minnesota State
Dairymen's association held state fair
week the board voted unanimously to
go to Willmar for the next annual
meeting to be held in January. A
proposition was presented by the Min
neapolis Civic & Commerce associa
tion to have the meeting held in that
city, but the board very wisely turn
ed it down, ff these meetings are to
be in the future what they have been
in the past—a great big success—
they should be kept away from the
big cities and out of politics. The
bulk of the attendance at these meet
ings must be local and must come
from the farm for each day's meet
ing. Furthermore, the meetings
must be held where they are the big
thing for the week and not in a big
city with a lot of side shows, the
atres and other attractions—Minne

entered the ice.
Three of Stefansson's boats are
frozen in the ice pack near Point Bar

ried supplies which were to be landed
at depots east of the mouth of the

the mainland and islands east of Mc

luk, got away safely from Point Bar
row, and steered for the north, seek
ing the unknown continent which the
Russian expedition that arrived at St.
