approximately quadrupling the iron
ore valuation and taxes in the brief
period of four years.
| PRESENT SYSTEM ADMIRED.
The present scientific and thor
ough manner of reaching iron ore
valuations by the Minnesota tax
commission is the subject of the adj
miration and congratulation of the
leading tax authorities of the
country. Minnesota success in
the taxation of mines is recognized
as one of the most marked achieve
ments in the progress of state tax
alton in recent years. The progress
we have made we have full power
to continue to make under present
laws and administration. Northern
Minnesota is just emerging from
the prolonged depression incident
to the great industrial strike at the
mines, followed by the presidential
election and general depression of
the iron and steel industry. To
plunge this great section again at
this time into the uncertainty and
depression that are certain to follow
the enactment of this bill and the
almost endless litigation to which
it will give rise, not only is not
called for by any present public
necessity, but appears suicidal to
the states progress and prosperity
in this critical period of its north
ern development.
REAPPoRTIONMENT DENIED.
Northern Minnesota claims, with
some show of reason, that had it's
counties a legislative representa-
ton based upon a just population
apportionment, this bill would never
have passed. Fifty-nine counties
of this state receive more money
from the state treasury than they
pay into it. and it scarcely seems
possible that these districts should
attempt to impose upon another
section of the state system of tax
alton based upan an equality. Such
attitude obviously threatens the
state with a condition of sectional
hatred and prejudice which is omi-
nous to the states future peace,
harmony and progress.
However patriotic and disinter-
ested in purpose the author and a
majority of the friends of this meas
ure may be, the fact remains that
the peoplh of the northern counties
in which Our mineral resources
are located believe, as one man,
that their section and industry are
singled out for tax discrimination
and confscation.
Taxation is not for punishment.
The sovereign power of taxation
is not conferred by the people upon

CHINESE WE'RE sMUGGLED IN.
Bunch of Nine Caught ON Board Ship
at Seattle.

Seattle, June 16.-Immigration of
fcials, after picking up on the wharf
stray Chinaman, who admitted he came
over as a stowaway on the Great North
ern liner Minnesota, searched the vessel
and discovered nine more Struggled
coolies and a quantity of silk and
cigars Inspector G. E. Keagey, who is
heavy man, stepped into the sail
locker of the steamer and fell 20 feet
through a hole in the floor, alighting
squarely on top of nine naked China
men lying in the hole of the ship,
whereupon they screamed in terror.
Further investigations brought to light
several leather sacks resembling govern
ment mail pouches, filed with raw silk,
and a number of boxes of expensive
Manila cigars. The three bags of sill,
are supposed to have been taken aboard
with the mail sacks.
Three Chinese stowaways were cap
tured on the British steamer CymriC
last month, and it is believed organized
smuggling is in progress ON orienta
steamers.

REoRGANIz1NG MAIL SERVICE.
Three Northwest States Taken from

A. H. Stephens of San Francisco, su,
perintendent of the Eighth Railway
Postal division, embracing Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,
California, Alaska and Hawaii, now EN-
ploying LOO men, as against 2S4 in
1898, is in Spokane to make final in
spection of the headquarters of the d.
vision preparatory to turning over
Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton, the newly created Thirteenth d.
vision with headquarters at Portland.
The new division also includes Mon
tana. The change will take place on
July 1, with Frank w. Vaille in charge.
He was formerly assistant superintend-
ent of the Eighth division, with head
quarters at Portland.
Taking the three northwestern states
from the Eighth division will reduce
the number of men employed to about
500 which it was in 1904, when Mr.
Stephens took charge, though the di
vision of the territory will not take any
men out of the service. The fact there
are l 100 men today as against 284 IN
1898, shows the growth of the north
west in II years.

JAP LABOR LEADERS ARRESTED.
Letters Reveal Plot in Hawaii to Gain
Control

SOuIIUl.
Honolulu.-Seventeen japanese lead
crs in the strike of the plantation labor
ers, of whom about 5000 are out, have
been indicted by the grand jury on
charges of having conspired to incite
disorders in the Hawaiian islands.
This action promptly followed the
sensational disclosures Saturday when
search of the Offices of the Higher
Wage association and the Japanese
newspaper Jill by the authorities re-
vealed certain letters, reports and
other correspondence tending to show
that conspiracy was in prospective
formation among certain japanese to
wrest control of the islands from the
whites.
SO important did the authorities re
gard the discovery of what appeared
to be plot among some of the strike
leaders that the grand jury was hast
lily summoned and the documentary evi
dence seized in the raids was laid be
fore that body.
