BLOW HOT-BLOW COLD-BUT BLOW.

L. G. Spooner, as candidate for the legis-
lature, very strongly opposed to the wide
open tax amendment and said some awful
things about the bad men that wanted it pass
ed. Now that Mr.. Spooner could not prevent
it's passage, the steel trust has become very
much interested in having recount of the
vote.
One of the arguments used by Mr.. Spooner
against the amendment was that we have
good enough law now if it were only enforced
and he declared that moneys, credits and mort
cages should be routed out of their hiding
places and made to pay taxes land he was
cheered for it, But in his recent speech here,
he spoke of the futlity of taxing mortgages
and declared himself for the registry tax
on mortgages, which is a practical exemp-
ton of mortgages from taxation land again he
was cheered.)
If all Mr.. Spooner esires is to talk and be
cheered, he fright hire hall and simply "hur-
rah for hurrah" 1t would save mental effort

The Duluth Real Estate Board is contest
ing the count of the amendments for the pur-
pose of having the wide open tax amen iment
declared not carried. Ii the wide open tax
amendment carried then a tonnage tax on iron
ore which would yield some adequate return to
the state would be valid but if the amendment
did not carry then the tonnage tax law would
be void The basis for the contest arose from
the fact that the amendments were placed IN a
different order the tally sheets from what
they were on the ballots and some election

GOOD ROAD FUND IN DANGER.

Two wears ago the legislature passed an
act creating a state highway commission ana
by the terms of the act turned over the as
bursting of the state road and bridge tuna TO
that commission. Heretofore that fund has
been spent directly by the legislators, each dis
trct getting small slice to help in the build
ing of some bridge or small local project The
fund has not been wasted, but its disburse-
rent has been guided by the political in
terests of the various Legislators than by the
interests of good roads Even two years ago.
the legislature spent all the money that was
available in this fund and left the new COM
mission with no money with which to do bust
ness and the commission has just began to
receive this state road money.
Under the provisions of the law, the county
commissioners asked to designate certain
roads which they wish the state to build and
then the state will undertake the direction OF
the work and will furnish part of the money.
For example, in this county, the commits
sioners designated the Hancock-Morris road
and portion of the Morris Farwell road as
state roads and if the commission is not inter
ferred with this work will be done soon, prob
ably this summer and these two pieces of road
will be put in good, permanent shape.
The advantages of this system are obvious.
Not only will the county get the benefit of hav-
ing couple of roads built by competent en-
gineers, but an object lesson in how to build
good roads will be furnished The highway
commission will not only undertake the direc-
ton of the work but have already set aside 500
to assist in the work these two roads.
But meanwhile, we notice that some legis-
Iators are very much put out that there is no
longer any road and bridge fund for them to
divide up and there is already talk of repeating
the law passed two years ago, in order that the
fund may be spent best suits the political
interests of the various Legislators.
We do not know what attitude the 1egisla-
tors from this district have taken on this ques-
ton, but we do nope that the friends of good
roads will write them to give the commission a
chance to show what they can do If the com
mission cannot use the fund much better than
the legislature has done, then they easily
be legislated out of office two years from now
