This was a big increase over hold.—St. Peter Free Press. Saving. to- Taxpayers. A novel plan to capitalize street im- provement indebtedness and use the compound interest earnings .to retire municipal waterworks bonds has been adopted by the city council of Tucson, Ariz. The saving to the taxpayers will amount to $100,000 upon an issue of $165,000 thirty-year bonds. The plan was worked out by George H. Smalley, secretiry- of the Taxpay- ers’ association, and provides for the investment each yeur by the .city of about $2,000 in street improvement bonds bearing 6 per cent interest. A tabulated statement of the earnings at compound interest shows that the $165,000 of bonds can be retired at the end of the thirty year period at an ac- tual cost to the taxpayers of $65.000. the compound interest upon the city’s street improvement bonds making up the difference in earnings during that period. The Taxpayers' association is an in- dependent organization supported by the large taxpayers, each member pay- ing a membership fee of 2 per cent on November, 1913, when there - were 178 fires and losses of $166,621.

Paul shows an increase from $11,000 to $83,000, and Minneapolis from, $23,000 to $68,000, but the state outside the three large cities jumped from $124,516 to $445,240. == Good conduct is getting more popu- lar at the state prison according to the November report from the Still- water institution just filed with the state board of control. While twen- ty-two inmates were reduced in rank for various infractions of the rules, 105 were advanced, seventy-five of them from the second to the first grade, and thirty from third to sec- ond. Loss of various privileges go- ing with reductions in rank appears to be a strong incentive to earning promotion. In Accordance With Law. ‘The value of taxable property in Minnesota, except that subject to a gross earnings tax is $5,231,414,986, according to a renort made public Saturday by the Minnesota tax com- mission. The full value ~f the taxable real property is %4 .350.266.175. Of this amount $3,128,245,452 is the value of all unplatted lands in the state. The value of all personal property, according to thie 1914 assessment. is $683,089,486. Money and credits possessed by Minnesota taxpayers to- taled $196,584,307 this year. “For the first time in a generation the real estate assessment has been made in accordance with law,” said the commission’s report in comment- ing on completion of the 1914 assess- ment. “Prior to this year such property was assessed in utter disregard of law. The ‘true and full’ value provi- sion of the old law long ago became a dead letter. The fault was not in the assessors or in the boards of equalization, but in a practice that had grown to have all the force of the law. “The new 1913 classification law changed conditions because its pro-| visions can be enforced without se- rious disarrangement of our existing revenue system. - The law will make ! for greater equality.” The personal property assessment of the state as finally equalized by the tax commission was $228,893,671 for 1914, a decrease of $5,652,837 from the 1913 assessment. This de- crease, according to the commission, was caused by a decrease of the as- sessed value of household goods and bank stocks and failure of the in- crease in other classes which was an- ticipated as a result of the new 1913 law.

The famous “watchful waiting” pol- icy applies here. When the dis-' ease appears nearby don't visit the place and visitors should be. kept away. Tie up the dogs. Shut off the infected farms so far as possible. but no need to get a scare and sell all stock as some western farmers are re- ported doing. We have had the epidemic before and always the scare has been much greater than the damage. HOOF AND MOUTH DISEASE. Some Facts About Plague That Is Causing Havoc In Many States. Somewhere in southern Michigan a few weeks ago a cow became ill. She was feverish, saliva dripped from ber mouth, her milk supply ceased. she-be- came lame and ulcers formed in ‘her mouth. Today fourteen states in the Union are quarantined against the hoof and mouth disease, the most dreaded dis- temper among hoofed animals. Mil- Hons of dollars have been sacrificed in the thousands of animals that have been .slain to stop the spread of the disease. The Chicago stockyards 'for the first time in almost haif a century were absolutely emptied of beef cattle, sheep and hogs, and the national and state governments are exerting every effort to stay the pestilence which is bound to prove so costly and to de- plete our food supply so greatly. In England in 1871 there was a siege that cost the country $10,000.000. Ger- many in 1905 suffered a loss of $100. 000,000. The present is the fifth and most;se- vere outbreak of the hoof and mouth disease that has visited this country i In New England an outbreak in 1902 cost 5,000 animals. It is impossible at this time to state how many animals : i : : SOME GUARDED YOUNG STOCK have been slaughtered. as rhe number increased daily as the precautions were doubled. 5 Although the hoot and mouth dis- ease bas been known in this country only a generation, it has visited Euro- pean countries for a couple of cen- turies and was imported to our shores by infected cattle. It manifests itself in ulcers zbout the mouth and feet Fever, saliva and lameness :ire symp- toms. In malignant outbreaks the death rate is high, but in mild at- tacks it s low. However. cattle and hogs that survive usually continue in poor condition. The disease is highly infectious. cattle, hogs and sheep be- ing its chief victims. Like many other diseases, but little is known of the hoof and mouth ail- ment and the virus which transmits it All that science can tell us is that it i8 highly infectious and can be checked only by stamping it out. killing dis- eased animals and disinfecting places where they have been. IN ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Scions of apples for grafting mext spring may be cut now. After the tirst fall of snow is a good time to thin out the neighborhood rab- bits. Covering the strawberry bed with straw and mulching the lawn shrub- bery is in order now. A little sulphur dusted over plants that show signs of mildew will often stop the spread of the disease. Paper white narcissuses and daffodils potted early may be brought to heat and light and will soon flower. All roots and cabbages should be in winter storage now. Cut off- and burn the foliage of the asparagus as soon as it has been killed by frost. This will destroy many in- sects and plant diseases. Have plans been made for better plantings around the home next spring? Now is. the time to study these things and decide what plants to use.
