claiming Duluth is trying to make
the ranges pay more than their
share of the taxes. Besides, the
Star takes fling at County Audi

proceeding which is entirely I'M

all of a sudden, get so solicitous
regarding the mining properties,
we are at loss to understand,
especially when it is known that
the mining companies have de-
cided not to fight the raise having
considered the valuation of ST. a

the affair as the Star sees it and
would desire just little more
enlightenment.
