Willmar tribune., 1899-10-18

dent OF tne Cnlcago trust convention,
that J. c.. Hanley, Of Ours. brought
down the house in the course of his
speech. He said that he had had a
two hours talk with Mckinley about
trusts. and Nc told him that the trusts
should be under control, and then said
that if the people would only have con-
fidence enough to return him to power,
'he would father the necessary laws"
Roars of incredulous laughter greeted
this statement, and voice called out
to Mr.. Hanley, "Why doesn't he do it
now?' And then they all laughed some
more. In fact the people nearly all
know when to laugh. Mckinley and
the Republican party controlling the
trusts? 'Twould make almost any ami
mal giggle.
Appeal to Reason: "There is one thing
only to do. The public (government)
must erect competing plants and en-
ploy the people and sell the goods to
the people at cost. Against such stores
and factories the trusts will be help.

Our friends should not be misled as
to results of taxation reform in the cor
poration franchise tax got through tho
board of equalization by Governor
Lind. The situation was that, since the
decision opening the way was only
made in April, there could be no appli-
cation of the principle until it had been
before the state board. The only case
to which the application could be made.

just taxation Of which the friends
of taxation reform had made
so long and so consistent
struggle in Ramsey county. All that
could be done by the governor and the
board was to apply the principle in the
selected case. This having been done
it will be the duty of the county asses
sors next year, under instructions of
the state auditor, to list each and every
corporation in the state applying the
franchise tax principle.
1t will go without saying that if this
be faithfully done the result will be
that millions on millions Of corporation

burdens. that have hitherto entirely es-
capped taxation.
That will be a reform record worth
going before the people on in 1890 in
this state, should there have been moth
ing else.
The record that is being rounded nm
by the new game and fish department,
at the head of which is Hon. John
Beutner, executive agent, makes of in
terest the list of those officials associated
with Mr.. Beutner in such successful
discharge of duty. It is the universal
testimony of those in best position to
judge, that the states fish and game de-
partment was never before so efficiently
conducted. There may be less of daily
comment or ''puffs" of the office, but
out in the field where the work is being
done, it is managed most efficiently. as
shown in daily official and other re-
ports.
