SOME FINAL TALK.
Before the House Committee on Taxes
and Tax Laws.

The last week of the big fight for
and against the report Of the tax
commission before the house com
mittee on taxes and tax laws was
probably the most memorable in the
annals Of the enactment Of tax leg
islation in the history of Minnesota.
It has been noticeable fact, that
in all legislative fights the interests
opposed to any measure reported
out as being fair aud equitable to
all classes have had their repre-
sentatives appear before this or
that committee to which the pro-
posed enactment was referred, and
have ghtoutal the facts against
the enactment obtainable; while,
on the other hand, the people sell
dom have any representation of this
kind before committee in their be-
half True it is, that the members
of the legislature are the represen-
tatives Of the people to determine
what is right and what is just be-
tween the different classes; bnt
when they assemble in committee
and hear only the propositions sub
mitted to them by the representa-
tives Of some corporate interest or
of some particular locality: it is no
wonder it one or more members
should lose sight Of the true inter-
ests Of the people and deem more Or
less merit in the proposititions laid
down oy the representatives Of cor
porate and other interests
It cannot be said that the people
have been entirely without repre-
senta.ives in the enactment of a
code prepared by three of the lead

other time during the session. Mr..
Childs. during the course OF his re-
marks, stated tha. the entire sys-
TEN Of taxation in the State under
the existing laws. and extending
from Roseau county on the north to
Rock county on the south, was the
most pernicious system that is now
in operation in any State of the
INTERPRETATIONS from the stand
point of inequality as we'll as from
the standpoint Of tending to force
great burdens on the middle or
poorer class and relieving the bur-
dens of the richer or corporate
class. AS the law exists, be con-
tended that it must be an admitted
fact that Is per cent. of the personal
property of the entire State was not
now and would not be under the
present law on the tax rolls; that
the property which had been and is
now being listed was largely the
property of the middle and poorer
classes, while the bonded interests,
the corporate interests. were escap-
ing the taxation which they should
justly bear.
Mr.. Childs said that in certain
large measure this was due to the
fact that there was no compulsory
provisions in the present tax laws,
and under the code which his com
mission had submitted to the leg
islature inquisitorial provisions had
been suggested whereby the entire
personal property Of the State, Or
very near it. would have to be list
ed. He believed that no man could
escape it unless he left the State
permanently after the assessor had
listed his property.
"A law which does not contain
inQuisitorial provisions, said Mr..

ing attorneys, and probably three
of the best experts on taxes and
tax laws in the State of Minnesota.
The commissioners themselves have
appeared at one or more sessions OF
the committee aud have outlined
their reasons for preparing the
various sections of the proposed
code. Still further, was the appear
ance of State Auditor Dunn before
tue joint committee on taxes and
tax laws on Thursday. Feb. 18th.
The banking interests of St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth had their
say as | reported in previous ar
ticle. The shipping interests Of
Lake Superior appeared before the
committee and undoubtedly made an
impression. The grain and ware
house, interests, controlling the
product Of every farm in Minnesota.
appeared, and setting up the plea
that they were in the interests of
the poor farmer only, opposed fea-
lures of the bill which are intended
to make this particular interest
stand it's share of the burdens of
taxation. Still later, the country
banking interests appeared and pro-
tested against certain features of
the bill which the commission were
of the opinion would place them on
an equal footing with other inter-
ests of the State. The day follow
ing the appearance OF the latter
interests, ExAttorney General
Childs, chairman of the tax COM
mission and who is regarded as one
of the best experts on the question
of taxation in Minnesota. after be-
ing invited by the house. appeared.
and on behalf of the people. ex-
planned certain features of the code
about which the members OF the
tax committee and other members
OF the house were at sea. Certain
it is. that when Mr.. Childs con-
cluded his address the members of
the house were much better IN
formed on the various provisions of
the code and its application to
bringing about an equitable system
OF taxation than they were at any

Childs, will be lame. hating and
inefficient, imperative law, and one
of the prime causes for the demor-
aIizatlou OF assessments now is, that
the present law is inefficient to en-
force them.
Continuing his remarks Mr..
Childs stated that the commission
fully realized that it was unable to
reach all of the property which it
desired, for the reason that the con-
stitution OF the State at the present
time did not give a sufficient rem
edy, and he advised the enactment
and submitment Of the constitu-
tional amendments which his COM
mission had submitted. Mr.. Childs
pointed out very clearly what has
already been stated in these col
umns, that certain interests now
escaping their share of the burdens
OF taxation were very naturally en-
gagged in misleading the people who
were not thoroughly conversant
with the provisions OF the code
which his commission had submit
ted. by sending out false reports
regarding the application OF these
provisions and getting these people
to send up petitions prepared by
the corporate interests. praving
that the legislature defeat the pro.
posed tax code and asking the indi-
vidual mem bers from the different
counties from which the petitions
were likely to be sent to do all in
their power to bring about the de-
feat of this most important measure.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Child S
arguments, he was asked a number
of questions by different members
OF the committee. and lit was appar-
ent that they were all answered in
most satisfactory manner.
Probably one of the best experts
on the question OF taxation IN the
world is a Mr. Purdy, secretary OF
the national league of tax represent
atives. In some mysterious man-
ner Mr.. Purdy blew into st. Paul
on the evening of Feb 10th, claim
