Il SATISFACTORY COMPROMISE.

Il SATISFACTORY COMPROMISE.
There is a strong probability that
an amicable arrangement can be made
with the railroad companies by which
much expensive litigation can be
avoided and the general public will
receive direct benefits at once. The
railroads propose maximum 215
cent passenger rate, 2 cents for round
trip tickets, 500-mile mileage books
good for any member of the family
for $40, 1,000-mile mileage books good
on any road in the state for 500. This
is virtually a 2-cent rate. The rail-
roads also offer to reduce freight
rates an average of ID per cent
throughout the state. There is no
reason why the compromise should
not be accepted by the legislature and
the railway commissioners. We be-
lieve public sentiment will favor an
agreement such as outlined. There
is nothing to be gained by endless

helping get this home put under. the
jurisdiction Of the board Of control.
The present board of trustees pay no
heed to complaints made BY inmates.
It seems that because the officials are
old soldiers, the trustees take it
for granted that everything must be
all right here. We claim and know
that the food, clothing, care, and in
fact everything furnished the inmates,
is not what the people of this state ex-
pect it is, neither. is it as represented
to. be. We also claim, and the home
reports show it, that since the Lind
law took effect, the expense of running
this home has been greatly reduced.
For illustration the report of 1905
shows the expenses of this home were
seven thousand dollars less than 1904
expenses, with an average of only one
less inmate for the year. At the same
time the market price of nearly every
thing was higher than the former
year. It looks as if the trustees were
trying to make up the amount of
money that they formerly took from
PENSIONS, before the Lind law took
effect, by squeezing it out of the food,
clothing and care furnished the in
mates. Please give this careful con-
sideration and help US if you can.

A fraud order has been issued by
the postoffice department against the
H.>H. Harsha Cooperative Advertise
ing company of Chicago. Until July
1906, this concern conducted it's bust
ness from Minneapolis. Harsha has
been engaged in collecting by mail
five dollars each from farmers who
wantea to sell their farms, he agree
ing to advertise such farms for six
months if a sale was not sooner ef-
fected. A brief description of the
property in a certain magazine, made
up of these advertisements of farms
for sale, was published by him and
supposed to be circulated by him
monthly among a large number of
persons looking for farms to buy.
The sole purpose of Harsha's scheme
seems to have been to secure the five
dollars from the farmer, pocket it and
give nothing in return. Other swim
dlers of like stripe are likely operating
in the country and farmers should
look out for them.

A reasonable tonnage tax on the
output of the iron mines, in addition
to a direct valuation tax, the proceeds
to be devoted to the Improvement of
the public highways and the reclama-
tion of the states swamp land in
northern Minnesota, is proposition
that would meet with the hearty ap-
proval of a majority of the people of
the counties where the mines are To-
Gated. But the imposition Of ton
mage tax with the. sole idea of re-
plenishing the general revenue fund of
the state is a horse of another color.
No good reason can be adduced whv
special taxes should be levied, in
northern Minnesota to be squandered
in erecting club houses on the state
fair grounds, building approaches to
the state capitol and in charging the
baseb ball park at the state university.

NO TONNAGE TAX WANTED NOTE.


NO TONNAGE TAX WANTED NOU.
One of the leading members of the
legislature writes: SIN a ten minutes
talk at the Merchants hotel you gave
me more practical information rel
alive to royalties and taxation of
mines and mineral lands than I OBJ
tanned from any and all other sources,
and upon investigation I found that
you were right in every instance.
Now, give me your honest opinion on
the Bjorge-Jefferson ore tax bill. Is
it constitutional? Are you in favor of
it?" We have not read the latest bill
the Bjorge-Jefferson bill-but we
understand it provides for tonnage
tax of five cents per ton on all ore
mined that contains 40 per cent iron,
and that the proceeds of such tax is to
be covered into the general revenue
fund of the state. We do not know
whether the bill is constitutional or
not, nor do we care. We do not favor
the measure. We are not in favor of
any bill that would impose special
tax on any product of northern Min
nesOta for the benefit of the tax
dodgers Of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The iron mines are paying proportion
ately more taxes, even under the pres
ent low valuation, than the wholesale
houses of St. Paul and Minneapolis,
and the aim of the wholesale and re-
tail tax-dodgers of the twin cities is to
have money enough raised from
special taxes to run the entire state
government-thus do away with direct
state taxes and state supervision over
assessments. Then there would be To-
cal option in taxation matters and the
jobbers and large department stores
could manage it to escape taxation
altogether.
|! We did favor the original Bjorge
bill which provided for tonnage tax
of five cents per ton, 80 per cent of
which should be used, under the su-
pervision of the state highway COM
mission, for the Improvement of the
public roads, and 10 per cent for the
reclamation of the state swamp lands.
But the attorney general holds that
the legislature has no authority to i'm
pose tonnage tax for those purposes.
Then, we say, until the constitution is
amended, until a wide-open good
roads amendment is adopted, it is
better not to undertake to impose a
tonnage tax on the output of the iron
mines. -.
The legislature should be empowered
to levy a tax or appropriate such
amounts of money as may be deemed
necessary for the Improvement of the
public highways and the reclamation
of wet or overlooked lands. q =.
The iron mines are located in
northeastern Minnesota and if a ton
mage tax is imposed on the output of
the iron mines common fairness re-
quires that the major portion of such
tax should be expended in the north
ern counties of the state-there is
where the wet lands are located and
there is where passable. public high
ways are needed to open cup and de-
velop the country. There is neither
sense nor justice in imposing a
special tax on the product of the iron
mines of st. Louis, Itasca,, Aitkin
and other sparsely settled northern
counties for the benefit of st. Paul
and Minneapolis and the rich and
populous counties Of southern and
central Minnesota.
