Democratic Party Comes Out Strongly AZ.
an Increase in Gross Earnings Tax
On Railroads.
The st. Paul Globe, the Absolute Property Of J y.
Hill, Wages Fierce Warfare Against @
Proposed Amendment.
Utter Fallacy and Inconsistency Of the Arguments
Put Forth by the Democratic Organ Against
the Amendment.
on Rallr0 ads.

The expected has happened. The
Democratic party is opposing the
amendment providing for an increase
of the railroad gross earnings tax, and
this is q part OF the bargain Of its lead
sers, to gain railroad support and rail-
road money. The campaign against
this amendment was naturally started
in the Democratic railroad organ, the
st. Paul Globe. The Globe is owned
absolutely by James j. Hill, president
OF the Great Northern Railroad compa
ny.
knowing the source of this attack
on the gross earnings amendment,
there is little more that need be said
to the people as to the merits of this
opposition. The Globe argues that if
this amendment is adopted, the tax
paid to the estate of the railroads will
he decreased, rather than increased.
II this were true, would the official or
gan of the Great Northern, a newspa-
per owned and wholly controlled by
the president Of that company, oppose
its adoption by the people? Do the
that will decrease their taxes? Would
Mr.. Hills paper oppose a law that
would decrease the tax of his merger
railroads? Yet this is just what the
opposition to this am msndment asserts,
liz Mr.. Hilps own paper.
Moreover, for the past ten years this
same issue has been before the peo-
pie. Every attempt to have this law
for an increase of the gross earnings
tax on railroads adopted by the legis-
lature and submitted to the people, has
been fought by the railroads. Paid at
torneys Of the roads have appeared be-
fore committees to argue against it;
paid lobbyists of the roads have used
their peculiar system Of argument
against it, and money has been lavish
" used to defeat it. If it was to re-
duce the tax of the railroads, why have
they fought it SO bitterly for the past
ten years, and spent thousands of dol
lars to defeat it? Why have they
used every argument and every means
to keep the people from getting a
chance to vote on it? Why, then, does
the only newspaper in Minnesota
owned wholly by railroad president,
take the lead against it, and tell the
people they should not vote for it? One
thing is absolutely certain, 1t is not
because it will reduce the tax Of Mr..
Hills railroad.
What, in brief, is the history Of this
proposed law, making the increase il
the gross earnings tax? It was drawn
shortly after Gov. Van SAINT came into
Office, at the request of Attorney Gen
eral Douglas, by ex-Attorney General
Childs. The first draft Of the bill was
then thoroughly reviewed. by Mr.. Doug
las, In consultation with Mr.. Childs

FARMERS SOLID FOR VAN SAINT

Even more than on account Of his
merger stand, the farmers of the state
indorse Gov. Van SAINT because Of the
record of his administration in regard
to the prison binding twine and the
state grain inspection. These two is
sues are sweeping the rural vote into
the Republican column. It is almost
the irony Of fate. It was upon these
identical issues that the Democrats
won their single victory in Minnesota.
Under the Lind administration, the
grain Inspection department lost over
$4,000. Under the first year OF Gov.
Van SAINTS administration, the de-
partment showed profit of So, 1882.
The Redwood gazette., 1902-10-29

Under the second Van SAINT year the
profit was $25, ,458.67. NO other argu-
ment is needed.
The prison twine plant, since 1894,
has made a net profit each year rang
ing from $4,000 to so, 900. with the
single exception Of the year 1900, ,lr-
der the Lind administration, when the
plant made less than $16, 1000, after
forcing the farmers to pay 2 cents per
pound higher than trust figures, where
in all other years 1t has ranged from q
to 4 cents lower than the trust price:
These two facts alone defeat every
claim that the Democrats might put
forward in behalf Of their candidates

he is, he never seeks for trouble, and
there is not in his nature one trace of
the vindictive or of the spirit Of re-

deed, 1t has often been said of him
that if he has a fault it is his too big

Democrats Brazenly Declare That Van SAINTS Anti
Merger Action Has Been All ..Blllster''-CIever
Scheme That Will Not Work.

The Democrats, by their speeches
and in circulars. have openly declared
that the anti-merger action Of Gov. Van
SAINT has been all "bluster." They
have had the effrontery to say:
What have we to show for all the
buster about the merger? After all
the talk and the lapse Of a year, there
Is not case even pending against the

been difficulties, we are told. All the

the cases fall fat. II the law had been

knowledge to secure certificate en-

the parties to the suit must be brought

subterfuge.

A roorback Is simply falsehood used

the hope that some people will believe

Both these gentlemen spent great
deal Of time and much labor in inves-
stigating the law bearing upon the sub
ject; and after the bill was drafted,
Mr.. Douglas requested exGov. John
Lind, who had then gone out of Office,
to give his opinion upon the law as
drawn. Mr.. Lind spent an entire day
in the state library looking over the
cases suggested by Mr.. Douglas, and
made several minor changes in the bill
as submitted to him; but the language
of the bill, covering interstate COM
merce was not changed, and was fully
agreed upon by these three gentlemen.
Mr.. Douglas has in his possession not
only the bill drawn by Mr.. Childs, but
the bill as changed by himself, and as
separately drafted by Mr.. Lind; and
as to this clause covering interstate
commerce, the three absolutely agree.
