OFFISIAL COUNTY AND CITY FROCEEDINSS w ‘ /THE GREAT ISSUE IN MINNESOTA Tf Governor Preus is right, the para- mount issue in Minnesota this campaign year ig'the reduction of taxation. That is the xbslle ‘Which he: has. brought . .-to the in his opening speech at Montevideo. It ig the'issne that comes home: closely to every”citizen'in-some’ form. It is the igsue that needs wide discussion for theeduca- tion of the paeple. In these days of mounting taxes, when the old rates are doubled and trebled, when new taxes grow where none grew be- fore_, when the Federal government in ad- Jjusting the burden of the War’s.cost -adds a new load to the State and local ‘' taxes with which we had long been fdmiliar, it is well to make the matter the object of intensive study. Governor Preus approaches the', sub)ect with the advantage of close familiarity through his service as. State \Auditor, to which -he has added the experience' gain- ed in ‘the persistent efforts &f his.Ad- ministration to lighten the tax load.in\the face of multlplymg demands for* eXPendl' ture and expansion. But his Montevideo speech took\ in, the whole range of taxation in anPsotn——- State, school, road, county, -urban' ‘and township. We learn that the general. proo- erty taxes levied in 1921 ram up _to 108 million:dollars, but that only 8.39, Percent™. of this was for State purposqs, as against more than eight per cent in 1911. We learn " that the direct levy for State. 'purposes which ‘the administration was: able to omit entifely last year, will mot lecfed“t is year either. - We lea two,gju' #'of last year’s State taxe) ,went for:goldiers* bonuses, and”it ‘alipesrs that; the te’s income is well managed | and that’the waste has béen cut to’a mm);rnum Where/did these hundred millions, g0? The Jdrgest fraction, almost 40 per'cent we r-schools. And most. of'us wxlt‘s&y that it was well spent for such a purpose. The.neéxt largest fraction, more ‘than, 26 per cent, went for city and village. ‘expen- ses. Here is'a fruitful field for econorty, but one'that each municipality must till for itself. . . ‘And then comes the nearly 20 per cent spent.for good roads—a large outgo, but bringing in satisfactory dividends' on the investment. But 'the Governor ' wisely counsels restraint in road expendxtm'e for the present, until the process of read]ust- ment has gone farther. The counties take ten per cent p]up and the townships two per cent plus. And there we have at a glance how' each be col- that Tax reduction is the ' great ' problem ahead of us,"and the State Government s leading the way to success in eliniihating direct taxation is-due to-the fact that the taxes paid by the railrodds, the iron mines and other corporations can now be depend- . ed on to meet all ‘the gxpenses’of runiing < the State machinery.

Our advice is to hang onto your farm if you possibly can and Someday - perhaps your section of the country will become a great ‘peat fuel manufacmmig center.: You have’ the right kind of peat for fuel pur- ‘poses and ‘while now you are .producing great crops from this soil, it may bring 'you greater returns to sell it for fuel. - < In the meantime let us put forth every effort to keep the taxes down, so that you will not lose your land and work with the end, in view toward establishing a peat fac- tory. The state through governor Preus and Auditor Chase and the county through A. D. Johnson have taken the-lead in reduc- ing your taxes the coming year.'Regardless of what others say, these men are earnest- ly endeavoring to cut down-the tax burd- ens and it will be wise to' return-them to office in order that they might carry out thelr program. & A The St. Paul Dispatch on'its front page in Friday’s issue gives a photograph of Miss Rose Harvey’s back—mosfly' back.
