There seems to be little or no knowledge among the owners of undivided interests in real prop- erty as to the effect the payments of taxes by one or more of the owners of such lands has upon the vested rights of the owners, indi- vidually and collectively, and, so numerous have inquiries become for information thereon, it has been deemed advisable to prepare the following statement of facts therein. 1. The legi: acted Chapter Act to Provide ature in 1913 en- 5, entitled “An for the Payment and Receipt of Taxes on Undivided Interests in property Entered for Taxation,” which provides that any holding an undivided in- terest in any property in this state listed for taxation including mort- gagees, lessees, and others, who by law or contract are required or en- person of the above cited statute, there was no law upon the Minnesota statute books authorizing the treas- urer to accept payments upon un- divided interests in property, and the payment made by any party interested in any parcel of land to the county treasurer, while the taxes against that parcel of land ‘was in his hands for collection, was considered to have been paid voluntarily, and did not relieve his interest inthe land from the rights of the state to enforce the pay- ment of delinquent taxes. Thus, if five parties jointly own a parcel of land and four of the owners did each pay their proportional share of the taxes assessed against the land while the collection of such taxes was in the hands of the treasurer, those payments would be considered as voluntary payments, and the whole tract of land would be subject to enforcement of the provisions of law enacted for the collection of delinquent tax- es. 5 Dunnell on Tax, Minnesota Tax Laws, at Section 313, says: “Taxes for any one year on a particular GRAND RAPIRS HERALD-REVIEW WEDESNDAY, JUNE 48, 1913. parts of Illinois and Indiana there has been a decline in condition due to drouth. Speculativley this has had a moderate effect on the mar- ket but there are no indications that the situation is especially ser- ious or that impairment in these sections will cut down the general winter wheat harvest materially. While rains have been quite gen- eral and generous in the leading grain producing areas with the ex- ception of the spots mentioned above and which have been benefi- cial to wheat, the intermittent pre- cipitation and the prolonged cool spell has checked the progress of the oat crop and has interferred with the planting of corn. It is too early to say that this is to re- sult in a smaller harvest of these important feeding crops but the climatic developments have had a decided strengthening effect on the prices of both these grains.

Thus prior to the enactment of Chapter 505, G.

That regardless of all pay- ments made while the taxes were of the county treasurer for collec- tion, redemption must be made by the owners of any interests in jancs sold for texes, in order to liens. ood Pete Se ae a ea a a aoe a £ BUSINESS AND CROP REPORT : est in property and accordingly PY! pared with a year ago but there taxes had become delinquent, and | then a payment, known as a re-{ current taxes, that is, in the hands | have that interest clear from tax | titled to pay taxes to protect any |% Furnished by = | will be more than a pence |inerease in coarse grains and corn. |The only unsatisfactory factor in| EVERY STATE REPRESENTED the igi es - the pease ke American Medical Association Meets ciency in parts of the Dakotas. | | While there have been timely rains} so Posthicgatcl ehh Jin the sections short of moisture] | Me eee tne ear gt i sufficient to start the crop forward| with anadiced capac Aes. a ine |there is some concern, unless ae foreign nations the sixty-fourth an- |corrects the shortage, that the US-/ nual session of the American Medical jual July heat strain will be hard | association convened at the Univer- on the plants. | sity of Minnesota for a three-day The outlook for the cotton crop | meeting which is expected to mark is marked by some irregularity, All {mportant advances in medical his- |through the Mississippi Valley the | Atpaham dabobl the cemiaent reports are ‘satisfactory and the re-; New.

Berlin, June 17.—A feature of the day’s jubilee celebration of the twen- ty-fifth anniversary of Kaiser Wil- helm’s succession to the throne was the audience granted to Andrew Car- negie, who conveyed to the emperor the congratulations of the American peace societies on his quarter century of peaceful teign. Kaiser Wilhelm motored in from Potsdam to the palace here and for five hours he received delegations from all parts of the empire and from all the other nations offering their) felicitations.

It | Tepresents the administration’s views and, according to Mr. Wilson himself, will be “no man’s bill,” but the re- sults of common counsel among cur- rency advocates. The president, when asked for an explanation of some of the principles ; of currency reform, said that inas- much as the bill and his own mes- | sage would be made public within a week he would refrain from com- ment. The impression prevails that the bill will be introduced in both houses by Wednesday or Thursday of this week and that the president will pronounce his views to congress about June 23. The president ever, that there were no essential variations among the leading Demo- crats with whom he had consulted | concerning reform. As to the inti- ; mation from the Capitol that cur- rency legislation was not desired at | this session the president declared no | such information had been conveyed to him.
