Want Recount on Tax Amendment.

Duluthians are agitating a recount
of the vote on the tax amendment,
claiming the amendment to have
been carried illegally in that its po-
sition on the ballot was transposed
with that of the good roads amend
ment and did not agree with the
tally sheets.
The amendment provides that the
taxes on, mines may be paid into
the state treasury instead of the
county, if the legislature so wills.
Such move would be of unques-
toned harm to Duluth, and would
be the harder to bear because of the
fact that Duluth has become so &C
customed to using for her own ben
eft and improvement the taxes COL
lected on the ranges.
