Will Be Made This Afternoon,

cate Prominent
Citizens.
Gigantic Frauds Alleged. /

st. Paul Special Telegram, April TO-
Senator keller's investigating commit
tee, which for some weeks has been max
ing an investigation of fumOred frauds in
the assessment and collection of taxes in
the northern part of the state, and Incl
dentally the charges of corruption in the
methods of appraising and selling state
swamp lands for school, university, rail-
road and other state uses, will make it's
report this afternoon. I'm the language
of Senator Donnelly it will shake the
state from center to circumference. 1t
is said to be the most sensational report
ever made by a legislative committee,
and all based on sworn testimony,
Frauds and conspiracies, most gigantic
ana far reaching. are said to have been
uhearthed. 1t is claimed that the state
mas been defrauded, directly and Indirect
w. out OF hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and many persons, hitherto above
susplclon, are said to be involved and be-
smlrched by the committees findings.
One instance of the committees find
lngs IS said to be a case where the timber
on piece of school land, estimated by
the best cruisers to have been worth
1922, was sold for a paltry $175. Some
OF the best pine land of the state is said
20 nave been falsely certified as swami
land and then patented to the railroads
ana by them to the parties back of the
deaf lnnumerable cases of false home
stead entries, soldiers pre-emptions and
Indian allotments. I'LL made on powers
OF attorney by men of straw
IN the iterests of the corporations. are
salo 70 have been disclosed. Vast tracts
OF land and vast quantities of standing
ana cut pine are said to have escaped the
tax rolls, and one Interesting point is
that there are miles of railroad in the
woods used for other purposes than for
transporting logs alone which are not
mentioned by the assessors, and which
are not reached as personal property.
NOE no 90 they pay any gross earrings tax.
Inc law which is designed to prevent
corporations from acquiring more than
5,OO acres of land. is said to be Il dead
letter in the pine regions. The report
says 1t is hardly possible to calculate
the sums the state and state institutions
have lost in the alleged pine land manip-
ulatlons. nor is it possible that any con
siderable portion of it can be recovered.
The last meeting before the report is
made will be held this morning ut 10
O'Clock, and one of the witnesses who has
been subpoenaed for that hour is ex-
Gov. John S. Pillsbury of Minneapolis
He will be examined particularly with
