HEiVY TAX on HILLS IRON LAND.
Minnesota 10 Raise Assessment From $780,
q 900 10 14OO, q 900.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Dec. 23.-It d~eveloped
to-day that the iron ore property recently
leased by James J Hill to the United States
fteel Corporation is to be tn xed by the State
at $500 900 900. the price Hill put upon it,
and that in addition taxes on this valuation
will be levied for the last six years.
Mr.. Hill has guaranteed TO the United
States Steel Corporation the t axes on the
property and its output, no matter what
the State may exact. There can be do
lodging these taxes for the reason that
j. j. Hill testified as to the property's value
recently before the State Railroad Com
mission, and because the output of the
mines il easily ascertainable.
IL il that should the State sue
coed in collecting these taxes il would wipe
out all dividends to holders of Great North
ern Iron Ore certificates for two wear at
least, and make heavy inroads on future
dividends.
The difficulty heretofore has been in ar
irving at a value ton of these ands. This
question has now been settled by the testi-
mony of Mr.. Hill on the witness stand and
by officers Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who place the valuation at from
500 600 600 TO $500 900 900.
This property has paid taxes on an as
sessed valuation Of about $40 900, 900, and
II ia now the purpose Of the authorities to
assess IL at its full admitted value and sue
for the delinquent portion for the last six
years.
The corporation tax law prohibits the
collection of taxes further back thah six
years.

the United States would last longer than
any other nation in the worlds history
because il has for It's basic principle the
doctrine of peace. We are told to-day
that the universe is force. The belief pre-
walls that force il needed TO keep peaceful
international relations. Even our Presi-
dent, who has recently received the Nobel
peace prize for his efforts for international
peace, is inclined to think hat right liz an
empty word unless backed up by force.
But If l call the roll of nations who have
been mighty in war in the worlds history

Greece and Rome? The world has been
ruled long enough by force. Christianity il
eternal only because IL stands for peace,
and not for the mailed fist and the brutal
force OF the sword.
They spend one dollar Tor education in
Russia for every five dollars for war; one
dollar TO make John Jones a man when he
is a boy and five dollars TO blow John Jones
up when he finally reaches manhood. And
that country welters in blood, and riot
breaks out in every province az a result of
brute force. Truly, they have had enough

KILLED RI HIS OWN RAZOR.
Elderly Man les> rs sick BED 10 shave and
II Found Dead.

Herman Busse, so years old, met his death
in a strange way yesterday at 1881 Broad
way, where he lived with his son. Reinhold
Bus~e, a saloon keeper.
Busse was "A sufferer from endocarditis
DIR. n. A. Herzfeld of 22i West Twenty
fourth street had been treating him for some
time and had warned him to he careful.
He was stubborn and insisted that he was
young enough TO get along alone, and for
his own peace of mind the household let
him nave his way.
Lately Busse was bedridden. The doctor
came oftener and the patient told the others
that he felt like lying quiet and would not
get up for a while. Never up to then had
he given in to his illness. Sunday came
and in the afternoon the family downstairs
heard Busse moving around in his room.
They did not prevent that. Busse got into
his undertaking and walked out 10 the
bathroom to shave himself.
Lima Franzen, the servant, went upstairs
at about 3 O'Clock. She looked in through
the half open bathroom door. She saw
an empty chair before a big mirror by the
under the chair. His razor, open, was
beside him. 1t was nicked on the edge.
Busse was dead. He seemed to nave bled
10 death. There was a deep, clean cut cash
in ther right side of his neck.
Busse's son told the police later that it
must have been accidental. His father;
he said, had spells Of fainting, and he
thought that while sitting at the mirror
sha wing he had become faint. The razor,
which Busse always held in his left hand,
must have turned against the right side of
his neck as he fell and been driven in by
knocking against the window or I he mirror.
Coroner Acritelli viewed the body yester-
day, evening and pronounced the case one
of death by accident.
