Benefits from Tonnage Tax. :,

Senator Lord s interview today on
the proposed ore tonnage tax shows that
the plain people of st. Louis county
have nothing to fear from such an limo
walton. The Interests are naturally
excited over anything that promises to
hold them up for more taxes, and are
trying to make the people of Duluth
and the range towns believe that a ton
mage tax would deprive them of all To-
cal revenue from the ore properties.
Senator Lord IS idea is for the state
and local governments to share equally
in the proceeds Of an output tax that
will catch the raw material as it is
leaving the state forever. Such tax
would give the local government more
revenue than it is getting now, if
placed at rs cents a. ton. .. *
A tonnage tax might be made to
prove one of the finest things in the
world. for Duluth. A law RENTING
most Of the tax when ore is smelted
within Minnesota would be likely to
hurry up that project Of big steel
trust smelter plant in the zenith city.
# Duluth people know a good. thing
when they see it, they should join in.
Perhaps they don It like to come out in
the open and antagonize the interests
of the steel trust. In that case, the
rest of the state will take the matter
of their hands: 81 -

The MutualEing Plan Fails.

The voting in the New York Life
and Mutual Insurance companies for
: directors has already disclosed a weak
ness Of the Armstrong law for mutu-
kalizing the organizations. This was in
s5he permission Of proxy voting. It
meant that the agents Of the company
controlled the election and as the ad-
administration controlled the agents it
follows that proxy voting is merely
',another name for perpetual lease of
power to the sitting trustees, ,~,
In each company the administration
appears to have won and to have won
because of the activity Of the agents
in its behalf. The policyholders com
mittee was unable. to cope with such
trained election workers as the agents
proved to be-. To be sure, it was fur
nished with a list Of the policyholders
which it laboriously copied. It could
send them ballots to be voted but it
had no army of attendants to see that
the .policyholders were visited and in
fuenced to mail their votes. It was the
old story Of organization versus senti-
ment, and organization has won as it
often does even when the cause behind
it is weak -. g
TO really mutualize the insurance
companies appears now to, be her
culean if not an impossible task. There
is no way to get the policyholders TO-
gether. They cannot 90 to New. York
and vote. Tho they may be bombarded
with ballots they are not Obliged to
cast them. They are busy and hundreds
of them do not know what the row is
about.
The mutualizing plan may therefore
be dismissed as good in theory but
weak in practice, and the legislatures
may as well direct their energies to-
ward framing laws which will protect
policyholders in spite Of themselves. A
great deal has been accomplished in this
direction. The direct voting plan is
good enough club to hold over the
heads of the trustees. 1t can be in.
voked successfully where there is a
warm feeling Of protest among the
policyholders over some specific acts of
wrongdoing. But it cannot be relied

Isaac AtWater.

The death of Judge Isaac Atwater
terminates life Of great activity and
usefulness in this community .
For more than ffty-six years the
name of Isaac Atwater has been held
in honor in a community which has
benefited by the residence and the serv-
ice of many men of force and capacity
and character. Minneapolis was for
tunate in her earlier years as few
communities have been fortunate in
having among her citizens men whose
aims and ambitions were not conferred
wholly or chiefly in their personal af-
fairs, but whose best efforts and best
thought were given to the furtherance
OF the interests of the community in
which they lived: 1t was splendid
citizenship which laid the foundations
OF our social, educational, religious and
business life here at the Falls of St.
Anthony. .....H HILL.
Some day.. it is to be hoped, the
people of this community will remem-
Der the men who laid the foundations
upon which we build and visible evil
dences of appreciation and respect will
be set up where they will testify of
the Importance and value of good citi-
zenship exemplifed in real persons and
actual lives And among those who
will deserve most honorable mention
in this connection will be the name of
Isaac Atwater. When he cast his for
tunes with the people of old St. An
thony there were probably not more
than $50 people settled here, but in
those early days his ability and charac-
ter were recognized and he came to be
almost Immediately after his location
here a man of influence and value in
this community. Having enjoyed supe-
rior educational advantages by means
of his own efforts, he was equipped for
leadership and was early accorded that
distinction by his fellow citizens:
The interesting and inspiring facts of
the life Of this modest man are set out
in more detail elsewhere, but it is a
grateful task to make recognition under
his name here of the distinguished ser
vice which he rendered as a lawyer, as
a judge of the supreme court: as a
regent Of the university, as an editor
promoting with zeal and enthusiasm the
interests Of the community, as an officer
Of the city government, as a promoter
of enterprises and industry adding to
our commercial growth and Importance,
as an. exemplar of Christian living and
a contributor to all worthy charities,
as a citizen and as neighbor.:-
By the infrmities of age, Judge At
water has been incapacitated for active
participation in affairs for number Of
years. The part which he has played
IN this community may not be well un-
.derstood and fully appreciated by the
present generation, but even a super
fetal knowledge Of the history Of Min
neapolis will lead to recognition of
him as one Of the largest factors in
shaping for the best the character and
fortunes of the community to which he
gave so literally of his time, his abili-
ties and his means. .r."*; IT,:

The Council and the Examiner.

The disposition Of the council to &C.
cept and act upon the suggestions Of
the public examiner in his special re-
port upon Minneapolis is in the direc-
ton of better government. While the
recommendations of the examiner dis
close nothing but bookkeeping irregu-
1arities and unbusinesslike payments,
yet it should be remembered that it is
out of such things that graver depart
ures from correct principles grow.
It may not be anything scandalous
to pay an employee two salaries when
the two are intended only to make up
one decent rate of compensation, yet
the system Of double salaries contains
an element Of deceit and contradicts
the plan of frank publicity, which is
the only safe guide for the dispensing
of public money. So far as the salaries
under the control Of the council are
concerned they will be reviewed short.
1ly after the the first of the year by
the new council, and at that time it
should be the pleasure of the council
to fix one definite salary for each city
employee and thus remove entirely an
Objectionable practice.
Bal AS to the examiners recommends
tions regarding the depositing of city
funds, it probably was not unknown to
him that the present city charter: makes
it practically impossible to secure de-
positories. The banks will not qualify
under clause of the charter which
fixes a minimum rate Of interest,", which
is beyond what any bank would feel
justified in paying for the use of city
funds. This hiatus between law and bus
mess practice was one thing which was
sought to be corrected by the adoption
Of new charter. But the charter was
/. not adopted and reports from the pub
lie examiner will not correct a weak
ness in the city government, which the
people declined to correct themselves.
81 However, there is no quarrel with the
examiner. He has done his duty and it
rests with the city Of Minneapolis to
take such action as it sees fit in the
premises. The funds of the city are
safe, but they are not safe because of
any action taken by the people them
selves to make them safe. .> g..
