this special purpose of three district

handed down Secretary Hanson was

Northern Minnesota is promised much
OF advantage by tho election Of f.. G..
Dunn. We trust that in that event
Cook county may be considered part
of Northern Minnesota. This county
has become accustomed to receiving as
little bene6cent attention from Minne-
sofa of6cialdom as if it were a PHILIPPINE
colony. In truth it must bs admitted,
though, that Dunn was an exception.
Just decisions made by him as state
auditor, by which upon a reasonable in
depreciation of the law Cook county
was given it's own, have been reversed by
bis successor, thus permitting to be
paid in other counties taxes to which
this county was and is entitled.

Before our legislative candidates are
burdened with more questions than they
are able to answer, let us ask one: II
called upon to adopt by definite legisla-
tive enactment a cOmmon-sense con-
struction of looted sections of our tax
laws whereby ties, poles and other man.
ufactured timber shall be made taxable
IN the county in which they are located,
just as ordinary personal property. what
would they do about it? Because it Is
to their advantage to do 70 owners of
this class of property are permitted, un-
der decision by State Auditor Iverson,
to pay taxes on same in the county in
which their headquarters may be, tho
the property is located in some other
county. This decision is based upon a
provision of the tax laws that was clearly
intended to apply only to sawlogs and
other timber intended for manufacture
in county other than that in which 1t
is cut, and is not intended to apply to
such as ties, poles: square timbers or
other timber, tho manufacture of which
is completed in the county in which
1t is cut. Under this erroneous in
depreciation of the law Cook and other
Northern Minnesota counties similarly
situated have been ano will continue to
be deprived of taxes to which they are
entitled, which at present are being paid
mostly to st. Louis county-when paid
ut all. 1t is up to the legislature to cor
rect this unjust condition of affairs, and
every county affected should demand
that the matter be attended to.
=, In fact. all but selfish interests are
we'll satisfied that it is rank injustice to
make an exception even in the case of
sawlogs and that such property should
also be taxable IN the county where il is
cut. or whore it may be located when it
becomes assessabls. Z. /: -

we are here for. It is an important item of our

compare results. That is not fair test Let them
