Tonnage Tax and Local Revenues.

An article addressed to the press
of the state by Supt. Bliss has called
forth an editorial ih the St. Paul
Pioneer Press on "local revenues
and the tonnage tax" the tone of
which is very fair to the range
country. To quote in part: "As to
the validity of dual local land
assessment tax and state tonnage
tax the Pioneer Press has no
opinion. 1t may or may not be
constitutional. Unless lust ar
rangement is made for the protec-
tion of local revenues the Pioneer
Press for one would not be inclined
to look with favor on any change
in the method of taxation. The
Twin Cities have already suffered
from the absorption by the state OF
the whole revenues from the gross
earnings taxes on railroad proper.
ty and from the refusal of the
legislature to turn back even the
amount paid by the cities for local
improvements assessed against
railroad property to support any
proposition for the further absorb
tion of revenues at the expense of
any locality or district. The crea.
tlon OF tax system that will make
the levy of direct tax by the state
unnecessary is a matter of prime
Importance, but an improved tax
system should not be used to build
up vast annual income in excess
of the conservative demands of the
state, while growing and progress
sive localities are hard put to it to
find adequate sources of revenue
for their respective needs"

WILL SEND DELEGATION TO ST. PAUL.
To Show Legislators Their Folly in Ore
Tax Chance as Proposed.

The gravity of the situation con-
fronting the range communities in
case the southern Minnesota legis-
lators should carry to a successful
end their proposed changes in the
tax laws affecting iron ore has
awakened new interest in the aims
and objects of the Commercial Club
and its efforts in behalf OF the pub.
lie good.
This was we'll exemplifed by the
number of new faces at the Club
meeting Wednesday evening, when
this subject was the theme of dis
cussion and when a more general
unanimity of opinion relative to the
proper mode of procedure could not
be asked.
Each member of the Club is man,
ed as member of the committee
for the entertainment of the special
Legislative committee upon it's
prospective tour of the range the
coming week, and the sending of
delegation, to be named later, to St.
Paul to work in behalf of the inter-
ests of this section of the state, was
sanctioned. For the purpose of de-.
fraying the expenses of this delega-
ton committee comprising A. N.
Thompson, John Costin, Jr., and F.
J. Hughes was appointed to solicit
funds, Jos. Roman being named as
master of the exchequer. It was
also agreed that in case of surplus
a pro rata return to all contributors
would be made.
Upon motion the secretary was
instructed to correspond with other
commercial bodies of the range in
an effort to secure harmony of &C.
ton. He was also instructed to cor
respond with the state auditor of
Wisconsin, Michigan and other ore
producing states relative to ore tax
alton methods, for the use of the
committee and for the edifcation of
the southern Minnesota solons.
The Club authorized the printing
of circular copies OF the resolutions
adopted at the mass meeting Feb
ruary 4th, which are produced else
where in this issue, and the mailing
of copy of same to the Governor,
to each member of the Legislature,
and to the daily press throughout
the state.

metthe sight of a scaler as he open
ed the door of Bob Starts tie camp
on Monday morning and found the
three occupants of the cabin cold in
dest4h fratl the effectss.of drinking ri
woodalcohol. =
The men were Robert Starr, Geo.
F. Burns and William Fitzgibbons,
all of whom were known to many in
the city, and the bodies of the men
showed plainly that they had died
in. the most terrible agony, their
limbs being drawn to their bodies,
their fists clenched and their faces
distorted, their bodies after death
having lain for several days and be-
ing frozen solid.
Notice of the CHASTITY find was tel
ephoned to this city and Undertake
er Fleming went after the bodies. A
table in the center of the room on
which stood three tin cups, in each
of which was spoon, bore mute
testimony that the men had been
indulging in toddy made of the
poisonous fluid, and had died sim.
ultaneously.
The body of Burns was yesterday
shipped to his former home at Brad.
ford, Ontario, Canada, for inter
ment, while the remains of Starr
were laid at rest in the Virginia
cemetery this morning. The body
of Fitzgibbons still lies at the Mes
berg morgue, awaiting instructions
for it's disposition. He is said to
have brother residing at Green
Bay, Wis.,, and another in Canada,
but efforts to communicate with
them have thus far failed.
Starr was a veteran of the civil
war, and is reputed to have much
property, farm in Canada being
accredited among his holdings. He
has run tie camp near Houlton
for two years past. the two other
unfortunate men being in his EN-.
ploy, as teamster and cook. The
last seen of any of. the men alive
was some ten days previously, when
one of the number was in the city
for supplies, and it is likely the trio
had been dead several days before
discovery.
