rlghttul claim by the taxpayers of
the mining districts and extraor-
binary efforts have been made to
meet it. In ten years there has
been built up on the iron, range a
school system that is now equipped
for the task of preparingo for Amer
lean citizenship the children of
these new corners.
THE sole hope for these people is
in the public school. The assur-
ance for the uninterrupted continu-
ance of the public schools of the
iron range lies in the continuance
of the present method of levying
and assessing taxes until some GER
tain, and not experimental, SUBJ
stitute is found. If a tonnage tax
law is applied aud the mines are
thereby removed from the assess
ment roll, the range communities
will become at once hopelessly
bankrupt. There is no speculation
about this statement; no hope of
it's qualifications. The schools
would be bankrupt even sooner
than the cities and villages, for
these settlements have some re.
sources for police purposes. The
financial government of the school
districts now commands the atten-
ton of the best thought in the
business communities, and every
resource is strained to keep the ex-
penses of the school establishment
within bounds, while providing, as
nearly as possible, adequate &C.
Communications for a school popula-
ton that is increasing faster than
anywhere else in the United States.
With the mines in the assessment
roll and certainty of future re.
venue to be depended on, it is pos.
sible to build schools as fast as
they are required and to maintain
properly those now in existence.

of the amended constitution take

10 Range School Interests by Threat
ened Change in Taxation Methods.

10 RANGE School Interests by threat
ened Change in Taxation Methods.
Superintendent Lafayette Bliss of
the Virginia schools, who repre-
scented the League of Range School
Superintendents before the senate
committee on taxation, is thas re-
ported in his plea by the ST. Paul
Dispatch, on the proposed tonnage
tax legislation:
"This mode OF taxation will en-
danger the local school revenues.
The League of Range School Sup
e1intendents protests, against this
as unjust and unca]led for.
"St. Louis county, in which the
greater part of the mines now oper-
ating are located, will pay over to
the state, under the last assessment,
the sum of $194, 1888 as it's share of
the tax levied upon the mines of the
county. The railroads operating in
St. Louis county paid to the state
under the per cent gross earnings
law, upon earnings for 1906 in St.
Louis county, the sum of $1,NOOOO,
or one-third of the total income of
the state from this tax. All of this
revenue is produced or paid for by
the iron industry. An industry that
pays so large share of the burden
of state government cannot be fair
ly regarded as not paying it's pro-
portion of the expense of the gov
eminent.
"Confidence in the desire of the
legislature to preserve the schools
that have been built up in the iron
country for the education of the
children of the foreign population
is not all that is necessary in the
present case. We are likely to be
destroyed by this confidence. No
citizen. whether a member of the
legislature or not, would deliber.
ately support a measure which he
knew carried the elements of de.
etruction of the public schools OF
any county.
ut is the assumption that the ton.
mage tax would be merely an addi.
tional tax upon the mine owners
leaving the local revenues undis.
turbed, that constitutes the dan.
gerous aspect of the proposed leg,
islation.
"Our schools in the iron country
are practically wholly dependen,
upon the mines for the revenue
with which to build and maintain
them. There are the mines and
mining machinery, some cut-ove,
lands and the real estate and per
sonal property in the cities and vii
lagos. The real estate outside tn,
cities and villages is almost ntterl,
valueless, except for it's ore content

1--WE have undertaken the perma-
nent maintenance of these schools.
Under the present form of direct
taxation we have a certain and in
creasing revenue for school pur.
poses. If tonnage tax were appli-
ed only those mines operating
would yield a revenue. 1t happens
frequently that mile or group of
mines are shut down for the reason
that there is no market for the Pc
culiar ores yielded, work of years
being undone in a few months. It
is a very real danger that threatens
the schools of the iron range, for it
is quite possible that changed eco-
nomic conditions might cause all
operations on the range to be sus-
pended. A change in the time, a
falling off or cessation in the de-
mand for iron or steel, is something
always to be contemplated. In that
event the tonnage would produce
no revenue, and what would prove
but a temporary Inconvenience un-
der the present system of direct tax
alton would be turned into an irre-
mediable disaster. The state would
sacrifice no rights and no revenue
by leaving the method of collecting
the taxes as it is, or by making pro.
vision for a proper and deliberate
investigation of the conditions. The
state is not confronted by an emer.
gency requiring immediate action,

present law furnishes all the ma

quires from the mines. If the law
is to be changed or amended, let it

"There are certain well.defned
principles of political economy
which our legislators should bear
in mind when framing a revenue
bill. The sole object of taxation
is to provide the means for defray-
ing the proper expenses of the
government, not for piling up a !
surplus. In taking part of each
| mans property the state deals with
delicate matters and should be
obliged to consider its action care
fully. The state should act i'm
partially with all it's citizens.
There should be no class legisla-
ton. The amount of the tax should
be certain and definite and ought
not to be changed arbitrarily. Pro-
ducers should know beforehand
just how much the tax will be, so
that they can arrange their bust
ness accordingly.
"The tax impositions of the state
should interfere as little as possible
with industrial activity, No need
less check should be laid on the
hands engaged in the beneficial
work of adding to the sum total
of the national wealth. This prin-
ciple the tonnage tax ignores and
| violates. 1t is tax not simply on
iron ore, but tax on brains, enter
prise and industry; on mind and
energy. For century constructive
statesmen have sought to add to
the nations progress by encourage
ing manufacturers, mining and
other great industries, and inviting
the investment of capital. 1t is
worth while to consider the effect
which tonnage tax would have in
multiplying these efforts. The mo.
dern mobility of capital must be
J taken into account. AS water seeks
its level, so capital seeks those
! fields where it is least hampered by
/ exactions.
