SENATOR LAYBouRN has intro
duced bill in the senate extending
the limit on rebates of state royal
ties on iron ore manufactured with
in the state. The law was enacted
in 1897. and it was to run for ten
years Six years of that time has
elapsed, and as there are but four
to come the time is 80 short that it
would not be much of an induce
ment to manufacturers intending
to locate in the state. The new bill
extends the. time for fifteen years
from the passage of the act, and in
effect adds eleven years to the life
of the old law. The law provides
that where a shipper of iron ore
from state lands makes satisfactory
proof to the state auditor that the
ore was smelted or manufactured
in the state, and that the smelter or
manufacturer receives the full ben
eft of the repayment, the royalties
shall be returned.
