M1LKMEN ON RAMPAGE
Charge That Health Department
Staff Does Careless Work

Some of the dairymen supplying milk to
Minneapolis consumers have broken out
In rebellion against the health department
and purpose to make all kinds of trouble
A delegation called on Acting Mayor D. p.
Jones this afternoon to lay their case be-
fore him, before hte matter is taken up
by the board of health of which the mayor
is a member ex-officio.
The da1rymen make the old charge that
the tubercultn test for tuberculosis Is not
fall1ble. Even should this method of de-
tect1nS the presence Of tuberculosis show
correct diagnosis, they contend that the
health department staff does it's work 50
carelessly that the tests cannot always be
relied upon.
They allege that a number of cows con-
deinned in the Mounds View darby herds
have been retested and the results have
been most startling. Out Of eighteen
mich cows condemned by the MINNEAPOLIS
health department ten, it is asserted, have.
on test, proved free from tuberculo-
sis The dairymen contend that the tests
were conducted by one of the best known
veterinarians in the city and believe that
they have ammunition enough for a most
vigorous campaign against the local cat
tie inspection.

In 1898 rents were slaShed, property
receded in commercial value and owners
Of real estate generally suffered very great
hardships. To-day owners are trying to
put their rents onto a commercial value,
once more to make real estate an income
paying investment, and it is necessary
absolutely that they should pay an in
creased tax properly to take care Of q
vastly increased population.
Us it not the real estate, after all, that
really makes the retailer rich?
why should a man worth 500 a month
with $500 capital expect to be able to rent
a store, put his name on a sign and i'm
mediately put himself in the $4,000 a year
class?
II give as an example of value the fol-
lowing Illustration: Take two men OF
equal business sagacity, and let them each
rent store, one on Nicollet, between
Fourth and Fifth streets, and the other
on Hennepin avenue, between the same
streets. Each has the same amount to-
invest in stock. Allowing each man $100
a month, all he was getting when we took
him in hand, all the merchant on Nicol-
let avenue has to make in excess Of the
other is the difference in rent. Same
charges for help, same charges for light,
| same chance Of loss Yet the man on
Nicollet avenue, with ten times the num-
Der Of sightseeing pedestrians, has ten
times the chance for making profit, with
the same chances only Of making loss
Change the men around and the results
are the same, taking them both to be men
of equal value. 1t isn't the man, 1t is tho
location, location built up by the own
ers Of the real estate, kept up by owners
of real estate and made valuable by its
environment.
II say, then, and justly, that In days
of profit, when extra thousands of sight
seers and money-spenders are being
brought into the city, that the man who
most profits should pay his share toward
municipal expenses and stand by the land
lord in an honest, open-hearted manner,
who stood by him in the days Of gloom.
| and not try to shirk his duty as man.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-10-06

urged as to Determinations against the
retailer by grasping landlords and harsh
assessors, no one lifts his voice or pen
in favor of the owner of real estate.
when times are bad and business poor,
the first men Mr. Tenant flies to is his
landlord to get his're reduced, disclaim-
ing liability under his lease and drawing
such picture of threatened bankruptcy
that nine times out Of ten he succeeds.
He next appears before the board Of
abatement and, by threats Of dissolution
and a prayer for a chance to live, gets his
assessment reduced to q pittance. When
times are good and money pouring into
his Golfers, he vaunts his lease in his
landlords face and roars like a bull when
the assessor suggests putting his tax on
an equality with that of his fellow man.
1T never occurs to him that his land
lord should share in the general prosper
ity as we'll as in depression, and If, per-
chance, his lease expires and the owner
wants a share Of the profits. he terms
him a Shylock and publishes him abroad
as something akin to a robber.
Taxes are paid for the general good;
1t is only right that the men and the real
estate more especially profting by good
times should bear the greater burden Of
increased taxation
"A recent criticism on the unjust re-
assessment Of retail properties, without
giving any credit for what has been done
for these same properties in the last ten
years.
Every one at all familiar with retail
store rents in this city knows that fifteen
years ago. with one-half the population,
tenants were paying the same rentals that
are called exorbitant to-day. I give as
examples the leases Of the Plymouth
Clothing company, at Third street and
Nicollet; Of the Nicollet National bank,
at Fourth street and Nicollet; the lease
Of the old City bank, Third street and
Hennepin. Property on Fourth street,
generally speaking, commanded the same
rentals then as now, and men made money
and were generally cOntented.
