City Taxes Caused By Normal School Site And Retiring Outstanding Warrents PIONEER WAS msnmmn-m In its' story on the tax inerrase this year the Pioneer in last even- ing’s issue explained the reasons by saying that the additional five mil!s was caused by the purchase of the Normal school site, additional sal- ary money and permanent improve- ments. The statement insofar as the saluy item was concerned was an injuatice to the mayor and members of the city council who have worked hard during the year for the welfare and progress of the city. The Pioneer was misinformed relative to the fact of the matter, the truth of the in- crease being that 3 mills was due to the purchase of the normal site and two mills for the purpose of retiring outstanding warrants. There is a ~¢ - ular levy made each year for ‘he permanent improvements and no in- crease was made this year. No salaries with the exception of a five dollar janitor raise have hean increased for several years, it be- ing at that time that the judge of thé municipal count, clerk of the munoipal court and city clerk re- ceived additions to their monthly pay. “The article appeared to be a lit- tle unfair,” said Mayor McCuaiz, “for it leads the people who are .ot familiar with the conditions to be- lieve that we are paying employes of the city too much. As a matter of fact there is hardly an officer who is not receiving less than those of Brainerd, Crookston or any other cities of equal size.” WILL HONOR JOHN LIND To Remain In Diplomatic Service As A Reward For His Work In Mexico —Stay Until Finish RETIRES FROM REGENT BOARD St. Paul, Jan. 15.—John Lind, spe- clal envoy of President Wilson to Mexico, and president of the board of regents at the University of Min- nesota, will not succeed himself on that governing board after his present term expires on March 4. Advices from Washington are that Mr. Lind’s work in Mexico will be recognized by the present administra- tion and that almost any post in the diplomatic service is at the Minneap- olitan’s disposal. Mr. Lind has often of late express- ed to his personal friends his. desire to remain in the diplomatic service. Governor Eberhart has the power of the appointment of a regent, and members of the board of regents have been informally notified that some one other than Mr. Lind will receive the appointment in March. Reports from Mexico are to the ef- fect that Mr. Lind is ready to give up his Iaw practice in Minneapolis and it is understood he will remain in ‘Mexico until the government of that country becomes thoroughly organiz- od. FORTY CENTS PER MONTR YOUTHFUL FORGER ~ SHOWN LENIENCY Henry Wilkinson Pleaded Guilty This Morning and Because of Record Five-Year Sentence Suspended. MUST REPORT EACH MONTH Will Be Given Position with Diamond Iron Works of Minneapolis and Opportunity To Begin Over. — Because of his youth and previo s 18ood record, Henry Wilkinson, ar- rested a week ago at Minneavolls, charged -with attempting to bass worthless checks on sevaral Bemidji merchants, will not have to sgend ( ‘he next five years in the gloomy state § prison at St'llwater, hi- sentence be- ‘ ing suspended by Judgn Stauton, when the boy pleaded stilty this morning, Wilkincon is orly 20 years of age, and until last November was em- ployed by the Diamond Iron wosks of Minneapolis, it being at that time ( that he came up to northern Minne- sota and accepted a position as camp clerk with the Interna«tlonal Lum- ber eompnny. Forged Check. ‘Wilkinson came to Bemidji New Year's eve, and according to his story he pecame intoxicated and while in that condition, consented to the request of his lumberfaci companion and forged . several checks. Pleads for Leniency. Attorney E. E. McDonald appear- ed for the boy this morning and re- quested ‘the court to treat the case in as light a manner as possibile ushering forth the argument that Wilkinson was yet a young man and that his past record was without a blot. Mr. Ml:Donald sald that 1 the boy was ‘glver “a suspended sen~ tence, which under the law of this state is allowable, the boy would be given every opportunity to 'beglu life over again and a good position with the Diamond Iron works. The law- yer also requested that Wilkinson be given to understand that he must not frequent saloons or a cafe. Must Report Judge Stanton then imposed a pri- son sentence after stating that ne always disliked to send a youth 1o Stillwater, - and that in every instance where there was . a sufficient excuse for avoiding doing 80, the latter course was taken. Wil- kinson will be required to repost once each month to the county at:nr- ney, and should he at any time sio- | late the provisions of the suspended sentence he will be sent to state pri= son. Regrets Actions Wilkinson regrets having forged the checks and says that he has every intention to start live over again and live down the dishonor of his crime.
