Benz, potato expert and ag- ricultural agent, Northern Pacific Railway.) People should eat more potatoes-— for good health’s sake, for lower liv- ing costs, for their own goed and the good of the northwest, Today, in the northwest, potatoes are plentiful. They can be purchased at low cost. I believe it is sound advice for us to largely increase our use of potatoes not only at the pres- ent time but consistently and con- tinually in the future. If the consumption of' the potatoes in-the world were quadrupled, the result would be saving of thousand® of lives annually, and 'a comparitively less amount’ of shffering. The cost of living, would be materially re- duced, 'and ‘everyone would be hap- plier. » # ¥y i The ‘potato, the ‘world's gréatest and most beneficial food crop, is comparitively little known the world aver and - still -less appreciated.

Big ReductionIn 1923 State Tax Announced ' By State Auditor Chase Taxpayers of Minnesota to be Saved $2,500,000 1923 State Taxes in | GENERAL REVENUE TAX OMITTED SECOND TIME State . Funds in Excellent Condition, According to Auditor’s Reports A reduction of over $2,500,000 in the 1023 state tax s annunced by Stdte Auditor Ray P. Chase. This means that the tax-payers of Minnesota will be saved an amount | equivalent to over one dollar for every, man, woman and child. in the state. ‘Announcement of the state rate for 1923 has just been made by the State Auditor coincident with certi- ficaton of the comng levy to the eighty-six county auditors and the figure he has fixed is in accordance with the recommendations of the Governor and the cordial support of the State Treasuer and 'members of the Tax' Commission. The state rate for 1922 collectable in 1923, will be 4.18 mills, which is less than last ‘year’s low. mark and little more than half of the 1919 tax. Last year for the first time in the | state’s history the tax levy for gen: | eral revenue purposes was omitted | entirely and that in a year when other states found it necessary to impose | unusually high levies. ¢ This year Minnesota repeats and i for the second time since admitted |to statéhood, does away with direct tax for purely state purposes. Asa result, the taxpayers burdens are proportionatelys lighter and the running expénses o fthe state gov- ernment will be cared for by the | receipts from. the gross earning: tax on corgcr-tiom, inheritance taxes, fees from various departmel (Continued on Page 8.) 152 CARS COQOPERATIVE BUTTER SOLD LAST MONTH Consumers of New York and vi- cinity in September spread on their daily bread 152" cars of high grade butter, made in cooperative cream- eries of Minnesota, according to a report issued by A.
