MUST PAY INCREASED TAXES

Important Decision by the Minnesota SUI
preme Court as to Pine Lands.
ST. PAUL, May 2S.-Owners of pine
lands in the state must bear their just
share of the burden of taxation, and the
fact that a friendly local assessor may
~undervalue their lands does not relieve
them of the burden. The supreme court
reversed the decision of the Itasca
county court in the proceedings to en-
force the payment Of taxes in that county
against Frederick Weyerhaeuser and
others, and in an opinion signed by JUS
tice Buck declared valid the law of 1898,
chapter l51, which provides for the tax
alton and for re-assessment where there
has been a gross differentiation of such
property
The effect of the decision is that the
parties involved, with others similarly
situated, will have to pay taxes on an in.
creased valuation for all the years from
1888 to 1894 inclusive. That increase is
as high as 100 per cen in many in
stances. With the Weyerhaeuser com
pany there are SO pieces of property af-
fected.
The decision of the court is made to
apply also to the case of the Winona
Iron company.
