GOOD YEAR FOR IA x REFORM

GOOD YEAR FOR TAX REFOR1L.s
The taxpayers of the dozen or so
counties represented in the Aitkin
convention will receive the general
support Of voters atsthe polls this fall
in their demand for the adoption of the
Anderson act to tax unused or specu-
lative railway lands. 1t is simply pure
justice to these northern counties that
they should no longer be deprived of
the taxes due them from these 3,O00,-
600 acres of speculative lands. The
State at large will also receive its
quota of the benefit from the added
revenue which the lands will yield to
the State treasury.
ST. Louis county, meantime, has a
still bigger thing, If it secures an act
next winter to tax the mining COM
panies as they ought to be taxed. ST.
Louis county ought to be able to get
near $50, 100000 of mineral property
onto the assessment rolls of the county,
if it has the sand to make a. fight for
the kind Of law it deserves. Instead of
getting few paltry thousand dollars
on the one-cent-a-ton tax on ore, not
enough to pay the cost of litigation on
mineral property, ST. Louis ought to
collect ten times the present amount,
and would under any kind of a just nd
adequate law.
Meantime, there are other parts of
the State, that can do something along
the line of bringing into the treasury
taxes from property which now es-
capes. The law to tax stocks is prac-
tically a dead letter, and it's enforce
ment by Twin City assessors and
county boards should be looked into.
The law to tax royalties for franchises
is almost completely ignored. The
city franchises for transportation and
lighting are of great value, and yet
contribute almost nothing to the
States revenue. Personal property in
the way of money, mortgages, notes,
and scores of other forms evade taxa
tion in Is cases out of hundred in the
cities. The farmer or the working
man are taxed for all they have, be-
cause all their property is in sight;
while the wealthy city magnate con-
ceals his wealth. under various forms.
This is a good year for Industrious
assessors and county boards to do a
good work in. resurrecting property
which has been hiding from taxation.
The owners of unconcealed and pro-
ductive property are having hard
wrestle this year, and the other fellows
should be made to pay their share.
