According to recent rulings made
by Secretary Wallace, contracted

to any kind of crop to be cut for hay
except that corn can not be planted
on these acres.
However, corn can be planted on
the slack acres if it is to be cut
green for fodder. Wheat that is too
poor to be left to be harvested for
grain can be plowed up and seeded

PATRICK D I E D
MONDAY MORN
Death Came at Dickinsem
From Goitre; SuccessfuU~
Farmed Quarter Seeti~t
Since 1904.
Thomas N. Klrkpatrick, aged
years, whose farm is three
north of Golva, and he a pioneer o~
1904, died of goltre at St. JONl~t'~t
hospital, Dickinson, Monday mor~-
ing at eight o'clock. The body was
brought to Beach Tuesday after-
noon.
The death of this most worthy
pioneer is mourned by a large circle
of friends who have admired his
sturdy honesty, geniality and neigh-
borliness, and he will be missed not
alone by his large farmily, but bY
these friends who realize they and
the county have lost a true exlXm-
ent of the pioneer west. All W~
knew him are bereaved and sym,,
pathize with the family.
Mr. irkpatrlck was sick only about
three or four weeks. He did ~gt
realize the deadly nature of his art-
merit until too late when, at
he consented to go to the hospital,
it was impossible to aid him then.
The funeral will be held in
United Lutheran church here next
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock an@.
interment will be in the Lutheran
cemetery.
Besides his widow Mr. Kirkpatrisk
left a large family consisting of
eight sons and four daughters, mo~t
of whom live in this county~ as fol-
lows: Charles, Warren, James, Earl.
Cyrus, Lawrence, Andrew and
Thomas; Mrs. Mable Smith, Mrs.
Art Reed, Mrs. Andrew Fahlsta@`
and Mrs. Iver Fahlstad.
~,Ir. Kirkpatrick was born at
Portsmouth, Ohio, July 10, 1366, and
passed his boyhood and early man-
hood there, later removing ta De-
troit Lakes, Minn., where on Octo-
ber 2, ~1390, he married Miss Armi~
Elizabeth Norgulan. They resided
there until 190~, when they removed
to their homestead~ 22 miles south
of Beach and three miles from Gol-
va, where the family has resided
until marriage took most of the chR-
dren their several ways.
In one respect Mr. KirkpatrloI~
was singular. He occupied but
quarter section of land and, con-
trary to many theories, made it
and raised his big family on the
product thereof, and prospered. He
and the late Thomas Ulve, we be-
lieve, being the only two settlers in
the county who farmed so small a
tract of land and ~lid it successfully.
PLENTY POLITICAL READING
This has been a mighty quiet week
in town and much news that did not
happen was crowded out of this
journal by the swarms of political
announcements of various kinds, all
of which our readers are asked to
read carefully, as they will have a
lot of deciding to do when they get
into the voting booth.
I]EI]EIPTS TEL E STORY
Asserting that the savings claimed
by the present administration had
not been reflected to the taxpayers of
the state, the Independent Repub-
lican Headquarters today issued a
statement prepared by John Steen
former state auditor, and now a
candidate for commissioner of agri-
culture and labor. The statement
follows •
'~ne claims of the present state
administration with reference to
saying money for the taxpayers are
grossly exaggerated. SavingS should
be reflected in tax levies, but we
find that the tax levies for state
purposes under the present admin-
istration are Just as high as they
were under the preceding adminis-
tration, The figures taken from the
official records are as follows:
Year - State Tax
1929 ............... $3,152,673.12
1930 ............... 3.212.310.70
1931 ............... 3,330.980.25
1932 ................ 3,882,529~1
1933 ............... 3,527,359.20
"It will be observed that instead
of the year 1933 showinz large sav-
ings as claimed, the total state lev-
ies are only $300,000.00 less than for
1932 and are actually from $200.000.-
00 to $400,000.00 above those for the
other three years.
"Any taxpayer can easily verify
the statement that there has been
ne reduction In state tax levies in-
sofar as he ls concerned, by com-
paring his tax statements for 1933
with those of preceding years. If
there has been any reduction, it
hasbeen due to the economies prac-
ticed by the county and local subdi-
visions. The taxpayer will find that
the rate of levy for state purposes
has not been reduced. It is espy to
compare 1933 with 1932. The rate
0f leVy in 1932 was 6,83~ mills and in
1933 it was 6,79 mills. The saving
that year thdrefore was .04 of a mill,

able value Of $4,000 WOuld have saw

in each of ~
I but comparison is not so easy be-
cause a lower rate was used during
those years based on a 75 percent
valuation.
"The statement of the adminis-
tration spokesman that they ~h~*-
l~d an overdraft upon asm.maing Of.
~ce January.l, 1933, IS likewise wlt~-
o~ /oun.detion. The fact iS

presented ..had been Paid, except

course, certain bills for the month
of December came in shortly after
January 1, as they always come in
the following month. Equally trtw
the tax payments made during De-
cember came tn shortly after Jan-
uary 1, to meet these bills. So far
as the state aid to schools is con-
cerned, it had been a common prac-
tice to delay that u=,tli the Maxeh
tax payments came in. The fact is
that the uncollected stae axes were
sufflcien to meet every approprl~
tlon that had been made by the
preceding legislatures and ~o leave
a reserve or surplus of mdre thma
$1, 100,000.00. As taxes have been
paid. that reserve or surplus has
been available for the use of the
presen~ administration.
"It is true that there have been
some economies. There has been
some reduction in salaries. That
was brought about by the Taxpay-
ers a~socmtmn when they initiat~
the 20 percent salatT reduction.
The administration is trying to
credit for the work of that associa-
tion. It is true a!so that the al~
propriattons for the state e4t~t-
tional institutions were severely cut.
Unfortunately, however, those re-
ductions have not been reflected in
lower taxes.
