GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES TAX MEMBERS INDIGNANT. The state tax commlssioqers are indignant over the statement going around the state that the mining companies at Hibbing are getting away with an 8-mill tax rate. The, commissioners say this state- ment is false, and they blame the Mesaba Ore of Hibbing for circula- ting the statement in an editorial headed “Commission Soaks the Farm- er; Protects Mines.” The editorial has been widely quoted and has caused much com- ment. To a large extent it has been responsible for the revival of talk about a tonnage tax. The tonnage tax, the commissioners say, they care nothing about, and with the rate of taxation they have nothing to do. Their taxation is solely with valuations. Then they suggest that perhaps the fact that the valuation on printing plants in Hibbing was increased 33 1-3 per cent, “so as to make the pub- lishers of Hibbing pay taxes on the same . basis of valuation as their brethren in other sections of the state,” may have had something to do with sending the article broadcast. The commission almost made a gen- eral increase in the valuation of the personal property assessment of the village. The citizens, by their own assessor, valued their personal prop- erty at less than .3 per cent of the amount at which the commission val- ued the mining property within the village limits. A circular letter which the com- mission has just mailed to newspapers and others throughout the state, says that instead of the mining companies “getting away with an 8-mill rate,” the rate in 1914 was 18.8-mills, and' that, although not yet definitely fixed, the 1915 rate will aggregate 81.76 mills. The village tax alone in 1914 was 8.9 mills. Added to this were the state tax, 4.75 mills; school tax, 1.7 mills and county tax, 3.45 mills. This year the village council levied a total of $1,900,000, which, on a valuation of $84,623,743, would re- quire a rate of 22.445 for purely local purposes. The portions and other purposes will bring the levy up to $2,689,140, of which 97 per cent is paid by the mining companies. “The entire assessed valuation of all live stock in Minnesota for the year 1915 is $59,878,904,” the com- missions says. “The assessed valua- tion of the iron mines in the village of Hibbing alone, as fixed by the tax commission for 1915, is $82,652,257, or $22,773,353 more than the as- sessed value of all the horses, cows, hogs, sheep and poultry in the state ns“' RINSES EASILY of Minnesota.” HAPPY—NOT DIVORCED. Down in California is a judge who has a set of rules on ‘“How to Be Happy Though Not Divorced.” He is Judge W. M. Conley and his rules are as follows: 1—Husband, kiss your wife good- by in the morning and how-do-you-do at night. 2—Wife, don’t interrupt your hus- band while he is reading the evening paper. 3—Husband and wife, take pride in the good things your other half does; don’t think so much of the shortcomings. 4—Husband, don‘t tell your wife you are going to lodge whén you expect to play poker. 5—Wife, don’t “rag and nag” your husband. It never bettered any situation one particle. 6—Don’t be too “familiar” with each other. Familiarity breeds con- tempt between married folks just as it does between unmarried folks. Nuff sed! PREPAREDNESS. ‘‘Preparedness” is a term which is becoming general in the United States in relation to war on other nations. This term should also be applied to a more dangerous state of affairs in this state and other states. That is the “preparedness” in case. of fire. The recent disastrous fires serve as a valuable lesson. They are warnings to keep all premises clean; keeping furnaces, etc., in fireproof compartments and keeping passage- | Saturday Specials During the One Cent Sale we had so many ask if we had special prices on Toilet Waters and Perfumes that we have decided to give our customers an exceptional opportunity in this line of merchandise on SATUR- DAY, Nov. 13, ONLY.

The work of W. P. Dyer, superin- ‘tendent of schools in Bemidji, in hav- ing fire drills at intervals is a step in ‘the right' direction, and the pos- sibility of the disasters that have af- fected eastern schools is reduced to a minimum. POSTOFFICE ORDER. The postoffice department has made an order which becomes effective De- cember first and which will make it necessary for an envelope to have a printed corner card in order to have it returned to-the sender. The order is as follows: “Letters which do not contain valuable in- closures shall be returned to the writers so far as circumstances and conditions permit, subject to a charge of one cent for advertising, as pro- vided in Section 630 and no record shall ‘be kept thereof, except the number so returned. Letters not re- turned to writers shall be delivered daily to the superintendent of the de- partment’s building, to be sold as ‘waste paper.” JOIN COMMERCIAL CLUB. Have you enlisted? If not, why not?
