of which, in deviation of the
present law adopted by the leg
lslature of '95, is a provision that
the state board of equalization
shall have the power of fixing
the final valuations. instead of
the county board. Aside from
this provision, no material OBJ
lection to the bill is apt to be
encountered, but the plan of as
signing such power to an ap-
pointive board instead of to the
county elective board is not one
which commends itself. The
people Of St. Louis county, in
which the mineral interests Of
Minnesota are principally stu
ate, are amply competent to care
for their own matters of taxa
ton without assistance from the
state Legislature. The mine own
ers do not object to reasonable
assessment aud equitable tax
levy, but of such moves as this
they are justly fearful, as none
can surmise what valuations the
state board, in it's boundiess au-
thorlty, might see fit to place
upon the properties. One of the
surest methods of killing any in
dustry is unjust taxation; the
present law providing for the
taxation of mines and mineral
lands the same as other realty
and a similar distribution of the
funds thus derived is acceptable
alike to the mining companies
and to the people of the mineral
districts and the legislative mem
bers from this district can sub
serve the interests of their en-.
tire constituency no better than
to see that a measure so aimed
at our greatest industry should
fail of passage.
