The New Ulm Review published by the New Ulm Publishing Company is listed as a newspaper of record. The item notes its posting in the New Ulm Minnesota post office as second class matter on Wednesday January 18, 1909.
Governor Johnson urges a continuous county assessor with four year tenure to modernize valuation and uniform statewide standards under a tax commission. He cites counts like Hennepin Ramsey and St. Louis as suited for county tax commissions to boost efficiency and equalization for public good.
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the wide open tax amendment duly adopted, overturning a St Louis County district ruling. The decision elevates taxation powers, supports mortgage registry taxes, and signals far reaching fiscal changes, with implications for legislature and local government.
Governor Johnson told lawmakers Minnesota has grown from a handful of pioneers to 2.2 million people, ranking ninth in wealth with a 3.343 billion census total. The state’s agricultural and manufacturing expansion is highlighted by 200,000 farmers, 25 million acres under cultivation, 800 cooperative creameries, a 307 million annual factory output, and eightfold banking growth to 900 institutions. Iron ore output exceeds 860 million in value with a 1 billion ton ore bed.
The text notes proposed taxes on iron ore and public service corporations, a general income tax, and exemptions for credits and household goods. It suggests the 1909 session may become the state’s most significant in history.
The piece extols the hogs economic and culinary value, praising their large litters and weight, the corn saved in transport, and the hog as a versatile food producer from ham to lard. It argues hogs aid the poor through abundant, varied, quality meat and notes their usefulness continues after death in many products.
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a voter may use stickers to indicate a preferred candidate not listed on the ballot. In the Homme v. Snortum appeal from Yellow Medicine County, the court held that writing or marking any form satisfies the word write, and the statute must be liberally construed.
The piece argues that while Queen Helene of Italy earns praise for aiding earthquake victims, everyday women prove just as noble in ordinary life. It recalls a devoted mother caring for a silent child for decades, then guiding her family as a daughter shoulders the duty, illustrating widespread tenderness across classes and nations.
A fragment describes abusive, inhumane methods to coerce and punish workers. It advocates beating, kicking, overwork, denying water, whipping, and forcing cold conditions to supposedly “restore” or train a man. The text cites examples from Sleepy Eyes and mentions Dr Gilbert Hans.
