YIELDED TO SUASION
Elevator Men Once Saw a Light on
Tax Question.
A TALK BY CHAS. A. PILLSBURY
1t Led to satisfactory Results
Thousands for the City
Treasury.

That the city and state have been able
to derive any taxes from grain held in
the elevators in this city is due wholly
to the late J. c. PIummer and the late
Charles A. Pillsbury. It might be stated
that Mr.. Pillsbury is entitled to nearly all
the credit, for without Mr.. Pillsbury's
tact and diplomacy, his good natured agi-
tation among the elevator men for high
er regard for the responsibilities of citi-
zenship, Mr.. Plummer. who was then city
assessor would not have accomplished
what he desired. Mr., Pillsbury was prob
ably the best taxpayer in Minneapolis.
He recognized the individuals obligation
to the state and believed in taxes. ...
The grain in storage in this city
amounting to millions of bushels every
May J., had for years been hard problem
for Mr.. Plummer to handle. The owners
of the elevators refused to return any
grain, insisting that very little of the
grain was held by themselves, but be-
longed to other parties to whom they had
issued elevator receipts. These receipts
were transferred from one to another sew
eral times day in some cases and it was
entirely impossible to trace the owners.
Hence the elevator men would make no
returns. If an arbitrary assessment was
