PROVIDES FOR S CTS, PtR TON

PROVIDES FOR S CTS. pEx TON.
:; Representative Jocobson, who in
the past has been extremely active
in an attempt to make himself OBJ
noxious toth'e people of the mining
sections, has again come to the fore
with a balm for the defeated ele-
ment in the tax bill contest by in
Producing bill imposing per
cent tonnage tax on mines in lieu
of taxes as now adjusted and col
lected.
The text of the Jacobson bill so
far as it affects the taxation of iron
mines is as follows:
"A tax of cents is hereby impos-
ed upon each gross ton of iron ore
hereafter mined during any year in
this state, which tax shall be in lieu
of all other taxes upon such ores,
and the property actually aud nec-
essarily employed in the produc-
tion thereof. and shall be paid into
the county treasury on or before
the 18th day of May and August in
the year in whi :h the said ores are
mined, and the 18th day of January
in the year Immediately following.
The taxes 50 paid shall be distri5-
uted by the county auditor between
the county and the state in the same
proportion as the proceeds of taxes
upon real estate are distributed"
1t is made the duty OF the miners
to report their operations to the tax
com mission not less than ten days
before the taxes are due, show the
number of tons actually mined dur.
ing the four calendar months i'm.
mediately preceding the time when
the report is required, and if the
commission finds the statement
truthful it is to certify to the coun.
ty treasurer the amount of taxes
due. If any report is found to be
insufficient, others may be required
by the, commission. These. taxee
u on the ore and the min.
from which it came. A penalty OF
800 for each of the first FIVE days
the miner is in default in making
his report or paying his taxes, and
$500 for each additional day is i'm
posed.
The injustice of such measure
and the evident hardship it would
work upon the county and range
communities is apparent at a
glance, and it is to be hoped the St
Louis county delegation may be
able to give the measure the same
deserved quietus as was decreed tc
be the lot of the general tax bill.

The latest plea for the irrigation
of the arid lands of the interior
states and territories is that the con-
sequent wetting OF the dry surfaces
would prevent the desert siroccos
that now blow eastward, scorching
the vegetation in more favorably sit
uated states. From this it would
appear that the arid atmosphere as
well as arid land is to be irrigated.
