QUESTION OF
WHOM TO PAY
TAXES ON OFFICE FIXTURES OF
NON-REsIDENTs.
Nut to Crack Given the Board of
Equalization by ST. Paul Man Who
Refuses to Pay on Furniture Here
City Attorney Healy's Opinion.

w. w. Clark of st. Paul put a flea in
the ear Of the Minneapolis board Of
equalization this morning by demand
ing that the assessment for his office
furniture in the Minnesota Loan and
Trust building be Cancelled on the
ground that he~.was assessed for all
his personal property in st. Paul. He
made the point, which is not alto
gether a new one, that personal prop
erty followed the owner and was as
sessed at his place of residence.
The equalizers argued that Mr..
Clark was in business in this city, res
ceiyed police protection and fire pro-.
lection, and should bear his proper
| ton Of the expense. Mr.. Clark said
that he intended simply to abide by
the law and if the legislature had
made such a law as would exempt him
from being taxed in Minneapolis he
would take advantage Of it,
A motion that Mr.. Clark move his
belongings over to ST. Paul was
made but was not sustained.
City Attorney Frank Healy said
there was no merit to the argument
Of Mr.. Clark, but pending investiga-
ton the matter was deferred.
City Assessor G. J. Minor read a
letter from H. ]. Burton, protesting
on behalf Of the Plymouth Clothing
company against the present valua-
at $4,000 two years ago, the taxes
amounted to $1,000, which was
! deemed Excessive. The next year the
assessment despite protest, was
raised to $4,000 and the taxes to
I$2,24S. The company thereupon de-
cided as a measure of economy to dis
continue the shirt factory, the cloth.
ing factory and the fur factory, these
being maintained largely for the con
lvenience of their patrons rather thar
for profit. The discontinuance Of the
factories had resulted in the dismissa
of number of working people, many
of them of the highest grade as arti-
zans. No action was taken today, blu
it is understood that the assessor has
raised the valuation. about 10 per cen
or to about $4,000.

AFrss Trade Textbook
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
The necessity of EesOrting to fiction In
the preparation of campaign arguments
does not trouble the Democrats. They
are even devoid of interesting fiction, as
in their campaign textbook they reprint
from a pamphlet they used in 1890 al
legged facts about the domestic and export
prices of American goods. As that pams
phlet was prepared by free trade club in
New York, made up principally of impor-
tiers, and never was correct, the reprinting
of 1t after this lapse of time under a diff
ferent tariff Law and with an entire change
in the situation shows how Desperately 10
need the Democrats are of something hav=
ing the appearance of an argument,
This amusing textbook ASSERTS that in
the last fiscal year So per cent. of the
$452, 900, 900 of American manufactured
products exported was sold In the foreign
market at 20 per cent. less than the selling
prices in the home market. There is no
evidence to support such statement, and
it is probably reyamped with change in
figures from some old campaign book.
The only body of facts on this subject in
existence can be found in the report Of
the Industrial Commission, non-partisan
body appointed under an act Of Congress
to investigate the subject. 1t had the au'
lhority to compel the attendance of wits
nesses, and made careful and detailed
report.
Senator Gallinger, in speech based on
the report of that commission, delivered
in the Senate last April, placed the value
of exports sold at lower PRICES abroad
than at home at 81. 600, 900, and no pems
ocratic Senator questioned the statement.
The Industrial Commission gathered evil
dence from hundreds of manufacturers In
all parts of The country, and found that
the great majority OF those testifying sin
dictated that prices were no lower abroad
than they were for domestic consumers,
while q considerable number Indicated
that foreign prices we're higher" That
evidence showed that only small per-
centage Of the 100000 600 worth Of man
ufactured goods exported is sold cheaper
abroad than at home.
