Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 1.-(Speeial.)- )- Liverpool opened firm, with the expected sharp rally and closed easy on more of ferings from America. Whether this re- action will hold depends upon the atti- tude of spinners as to their policy.
 With stocks so small in Liverpool and revival in the demand from Lancashire, will bring about another rally and an in- crease in the demand for prompt ship ment from the south which is now re- ported lacking by exporters. So small Is the inquiry at the moment in compafi- son with previous years that exporters are puzzled as to what course to pursue.
 It is to be noted that spots and fu- ture quotations are closer together In New York than in Liverpool The feel ing here after the action of Liverpool today is that it is prudent to wait for further indication of the course spinners intend to pursue, as so far this season they dominate the situation.

and thereby have increased taxes. let
him be fair enough to explain to the
taxpayers of the eighty-one agricul-
tural counties, that three years of
Democratic administration added only
$50 to their total taxable valuation, as
against $3.50 additional laid upon the
counties rich in the special privilege
of iron ore, lumber, franchises and
royalties.
Let him also explain, that, whereas
this Democratic administration has
expended literally for roads and
bridges, forestry, drainage, schools and
the various state institutions by tax
ing the special interests, the custom
has been during the former political
regime, when all branches of state
government were vested in one polit-
ical organization, to increase public
revenue by levying the major portion
OF the assessment increase upon prop.
erty in the agricultural counties.
Is the Policy to be NiggardIy or
Liberal.
Two great and vital issues of state
policy are here raised:
First, do you stand for liberal
or niggardly policy for the support
of roads, forestry, drainage, schools,
and other state institutions and public
improvements?
Second, if you stand for the liberal
policy of state development, there
must be adequate revenue, and will
you raise this revenue ny increasing
the burden upon the farms, homes,
and business houses which always
pay their share, or will you raise your
increased revenue from iron ore, lum-
Der, franchises, royalties and inherit
ances, which in the past have shared
taxes the most?
Give the People the Worth Of Their
Money.
The policy for which stand, az
shown by over three years Of public
administration, is to give liberal sup
port for ali state institutions and public
improvements, and to derive the neces.
sary liberal volume Of revenue from the
taxation Of special interests which 50
largely have lodged taxation. If such
liberal support of state institutions
and public improvement is opposed
by Mr.. Jacobson as extravaganza"
as intimated in his Belshazzar speech
at Duluth, and if the progress of the
past three years in deriving increased
revenue from the taxation of special
interests is attacked by him under
the general indictment of increasing
taxes" the issue is broad and plain,
and on that issue l. appeal to the in.
teIIigent and progressive electorate Of
this state.
Every account has two sides. a debit
and a credit side. an expenditure and
an income side. Mr.. Jacobson has
dwelt at length upon the debit or ex-
penditure side; but that is only a
half-sided presentation. You are en-
titled to know the other side, namely,
what you got for your money.
Commentator For the Attorney General.
Before taking up the departments and
institutions subject to my control as gov
ernOr, I desire in passing to make refer
ence to another coordinate executive de-
partment, that of attorney general, to
whose efficiency and cooperation my adj
ministration is greatly indebted. Attor-
ney General Young is one of the leading
republicans of this state, but were he a
democrat he could not have done more
yeonan service in enforcing legislation
and lending legal counsel to aid the work
of my administration and all departments
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-09-30

thing like ninety per cent of the In
creased taxes that have come into
the state treasury during the past
four years have come from these four
counties, while the eighty agricul-
tural counties of the state, which
have been special beneflciaries from
the new educational. industrial.
drainage, forestry, good roads, and
other permanent improvements, have
had little or no additional tax burdens
to meet for the manifold benefits
they have enjoyed at the hands of
the state government.
The One odious Comparison.
But, before leaving this subject OF
taxation of iron ore and steel, 1 have
one odious comparison which I can
not refrain from presenting. Mr..
Jacobson has been telling you of the
Increase of taxes and the increased
cost of state institutions during the
past ten years. Let me now call his
attention to the other side of the
ledger, the receipt and revenue side,
and contemplate the increased volume
OF revenue from this one source dur
ing two short years Of divided re-
sponsibility."
As Compared with Former Years.
During the past two years, 1907 and
1908, the taxes from the iron range
into the state treasury amount to
$SS5,O00. This is $4,000 more than
the total receipts from the iron ranges
during the preceding ten years. But
IL We take the past three years of
Democratic government" and "di.
vided responsibility" including the
present year, we find that the total
revenue paid into the state treasury
exceeds 100000, which is more
than double the preceding ten years
Of iron range taxation for state pur-
poses. Under such showing of the
revenue side of the ledger, do you
consider it unwarranted extrava-
gance, as charged, that the state ad-
ministration and legislative sessions
of the past three years have dealt
literally with state institutions and
public improvements, like roads and
bridges, drainage, forestry and rural
schools, and the state university?

uation of this state are of special
and direct interest to the owners of
agricultural lands, who pay something
like one-half the total taxes of the
state. lnasmuch as my opponent has
come forward with a charge against
my administration for increasing
taxes, it is proper and incumbent upon
me to compare the assessment and
taxation of the past three years with
that of the like period just preceding,
when both legislative and executive
departments were Republican with
out divided responsibility" Your At
tention is specially called to the
major item on the assessment list
value of lands {other than town
lots) including structures thereon"
Now this item includes not only all
farm lands, but also the bulk Of the
iron-bearing lands and iron mines.
But the iron ore properties are To-
Gated in St. Louis and Itasca coun-
ties; so by considering land assess
ments in these two counties sep
arately from the rest, it will be pos.
sible to compare the work of my ad.
ministration with that OF the admin
istration preceding in the matter OF
assessing both farm lands and min
eral lands separately. The COMPARE
