EQUALIZATION OF TAXES,

When he was inaugurated into office
Governor Johnson promised the peo-
pie of the state that he would equalize
the burdens of taxation. That he has
done this is acknowledged even by his
opponents. Take, for instance, the
taxes of the great Steel Trust of the
Iron Range country. In 1901, under
the Van SAINT administration, the prop
critics of the Trust in ST. Louis and
1tasca counties were assessed at s24,-
610.639. In 1904, still under the Van
SAINT administration. the assessment
OF the Trust was, in round numbers,
S44 100000. Under Governor Johnson's
administration this assessment value
has been increased to $195,000. 900.
The burden of taxation has been re-
moved from the shoulders of the farm
ers and placed upon the great Trust
Of the iron ranges.
AS an illustration of Just what this
means to the taxpayers of the state
we would call attention to the fact
that during the ten years preceding
Governor Johnson's Inauguration as
governor the iron range country paid
into the state treasury in taxes the
sum of s515,000; during the past year
this same territory paid into the state
treasury in taxes the sum of 100000.
II the farmers of the state apprecf
ate this service it is up to them to re-
elect Governor Johnson. If they do
not want the Steel Trust hampered by
Just taxation then they should defeat
Johnson-they should declare against
divided responsibility" and return to
the old ordar of things when cam

Governor Johnson has been a con-
sistent friend of the twine industry at
the prison, as is shown by the large
increase in it's output since he as
sumed the Office of governor, in the
face of opposition where opposition
was least to be expected. and he has
shown himself friend of the farmers
in his advocacy of the harvester plant
at the prison. Not only are these
statements true, but his attitude on
these two questions has helped mate
rally to reduce to the minimum the
prison competition with the free labor
Of the North Star state.

DECISIVE BLOW At THE TRUST

"f Governor johnson signs the bill
he will sign his own political death
warrant"
This was the declaration of a Chi
cago paper, the organ of the Harves-
ter Trust, when the bill establishing
a harvester plant at the Saltwater
prison had passed the legislature and
was before Governor Johnson for his
signature. Governor Johnson signed
the bill, and 1t remains to be seen
whether the Chicago prophecy is true
and that he signed his own political
death warrant
In his message to the legislature of
1907 Governor Johnson said:
The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-10-29

The farmers of Minnesota have the
plant, and it now remains to be seen
whether the man who was primarily
responsible for it will be made to suf-
fer political death for having braved
the threats of those whose financial
interest is to have monopoly of the
harvester trade in this state.
Upon making his recommendation
to the legislature Governor Johnson
followed it up by urging upon his
friends of both parties in the two
houses the wisdom of enacting his
suggestion into law. The result is
that the bill passed both houses with
comparatively little opposition.
