Representative Foss, IF Grant
County, has been laboring as.
siduously in the interests of a
bill to avoid double taxation on
mortgaged property. His plan
is to divide the tax in a fixed
proportion between the mortgage
or and mortgagee. Mortgages
owned by non-residents will be
taxed as will mortgages owned
by residents. While the measure
is meritorious in theory it is a
question whether it can be made
practical and operative in our
degenerated system of taxation.
At all events the Legislature
will make an honest attempt to
perfect this bill but it is proba-
bly, a hopeless undertaking un-
dertakiog under present condi-
tions. Much good may, however,
come from thorough consider
alton of such questions and lead
to better laws in the future.

TO REDUCE ORE RITES

Col. E G. Gridley. one Of the
best known local mining men and
d large stockholder in the
Security Land company's hold
ings on this range, is the father
of a we'll directed movement to
obtain by legislation a reduction
of prevailing ore rates from
Minnesota rangeskto lake pents,
1t is his purpose Jointly with
J. T. Hale and Alfred Merritt,
whom it is said, are similarly
situated, to obtain the enactment
bv the Legislature of a law pro
vidlng that the maxim um freight
rate shall be not moro than ; 40
cents. 1t is hope1 to acc mplish
this through the influence OF
state school and university offic-
ials. In order to bring the mat
ter about, Gridley, Hale and
Merritt have succeeded in hav-
ing called for Feb. 2l, in this
city, meeting of educators; of
the state. This call: is signed by
Superintendent Denfeld. Presi-
dent Sa]ter and County Superin =
tendent Wheeler, of Duluth.
Superintendent A. J. Smith, of
St. Paul; Normal Director W. F.
Phelps; Superintendent G.. M
Jordan, of Minneapolis, and
President J. S. Pillsbury, of the
board of university regents.
The call for the meeting is based
on representations made in a re-
port made by Gridly, Hale and
Merritt. who sign themselves, as
a "committee to which was re
ferred the work of reporting on
the reasons or causes that pre-
vent Independent mine owners
on the Mesaba range from min
ing and shipping ore." This re
port recites that there is 100000.
900 tons of ore on the :Mesaba
range. of which the state owns
e-fourth, the Consolidated.
Federal and Oliver companies
about 150,000,OO0 and private
persons and companies the rest;
that railroads owned by the Con
solidated and Federal companies
haul all but 100000 tons and
charge 80 cents a ton; that these
two companies own or control
all Vermilion range mines and a
of those on the South
Shore ranges and consume near
ly all the ore they produce; that
they have arbitrarily fixed the
sale value of Mesaha ore low. by
selling cheaply the little they
sell in open market; that this
has prevented all indepe ndent
except of exceptionally
high grade, ore; that the com.
panies make no profit on ore but
net from As to so cents on rail
carriage. =! /
The conclusions are drawn
that 40 cents a ton would pay
the roads more than any other
road earns; that the 80 cent
charge prevents independent
mining, stops income to the state

The American priso 1sra who were de-
livered up by the Philippine insurgents
on Saturday received the kindest treat
ment from the Filipinoe. They were well
fed, well clothed, given money to buy
luxuries, and were allowed to roam about
at will. This is not the way that savages
treat prisoners. This is not the way the
Sioux Indians. to whom Gov. Roosevelt
likens the FilipInos. would have been
llktly to treat American soldiers
who had fallen into their hands, While
Dewey does not think The Filiplnos tt for

them as people with many virtues, and
certainly their treatment of American

put up bond with the .city for the sum
Of sio,o0 rs guarAa tee that 1t will carry

1t is perfectly we II known that some
years ago Candidate Mckinney enter
tained a poor opinion of Bryan and was
against the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at 16 to one. 1t is fair to presume,
however. that he would not have
accepted nomination from convention
which endorsed free silver and declared in
favor of Bryan for President unless he
was ready to subordinate his personal
opinions to those of the convention which
nominated him. for any other course
would stamp him as dishonest. He
knew what the platform was when he ac-
oep,ed the nomination and unless he had
intended to stand upon 1t we believe he
would have declined. In electing him,
there fore. the vote Of the First District
would choose a man to represent them In
Congress as certain to vote for the free

derstand perfectly well too. and hence his
delay gives reason for believing that he
yet hopes for aspeaceful solution. But
