GROSS EARNINGS.

When we turn from tabulating to
making the computations from the fig
ures on which to base conclusions.
the first object is to ascertain what
percentage the taxes collected are of
the gross earnings in each of these
states. And here we get some unex.
pected results. 1t was not until 1894
that the full 8 per cent limit was
reached in Minnesota, while the in
crease has been quite steady. Wiscon-
sin reached the per cent maximum
in 1891, dropped below it in 1892, and
has exceeded it in the remaining years.
The excess is probably due the addi-
tional mileage tax. The extremely low
valuation per mile on which taxation
in Iowa is based would not seem to
warrant the high rate of percentage
shown in its column, as it also in
dicates what revenue producer the
system might be were valuations at all
reasonable. The following are the per-
centages of taxes to gross earnings:
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-09-07

NO one can go from a study Of these
statistics, covering all the results of
the two systems of taxation, with any
other conclusion than that, on the
whole, and in the long run, the gross
earnings system is the better one. One
strikes the first factor of this con-
clusion in the column giving the valu-
alton the state assessors of Iowa put
on the railways, per mile. The rela-
lively larger tax, proportioned to the
mileage, obtained in Minnesota than
in Iowa, is another factor. But these
win strike the reader with the other
features elsewhere treated. and he can
be left to form his own Judgment
from the facts here given. We believe
it will coincide with our own.
