REASONS. FOR VETO OF
TONNAGE TAX BILL
Message Of Governor Johnson
to Minnesota Legislature.

st. Paul April 2l.-Governor John
son has returned to the legislature
without his signature the Bjorge iron
ore tonnage tax bill This matter has
aroused great interest in this state
for many years, but never before has
bill carrying the idea into effect re-
ceived the approval of the legislature
'The governor summarizes his obiec-
lions tc ti!e measure as follows:
MISUNDERSTANDING the able
and sincere labor bestowed upon it
by its author, Mr. Bjorge, the bill re-
mains, both in principle and admins
.trative features, more or less un-
certain and i'll digested experiment.
not fully understood even by it's
friends and intensely feared by the
sections Of the state to which it spe.
cially applies, while in application it
threatens to violate the fundamental
principle OF taxation, that of equality,
at the same time that it fails to meet
the constitutional requirement Of uni
formity in taxing the same class of
subjects.
'Second-It is certain that the mo-
raj, industrial and practical effect of
the bill, If made a law at this time,
will be to strike severe blow at the
development and prosperity of all the
great mineral bearing counties of
Northeastern and North Central Min
nesota, affecting alike the agricultural
manufacturing, commercial, financial
and educational growth and success,
as we'll as the settlement of all our
northern lands, both public and pri-
vate, and the investment of both home
and foreign capital therein.
Subject ciouded in Prejudice.
"Third-The passage CT the pro-
posed tonnage tax measure at this
time, when both its provisions and
the principle upon which it is based
are so little understood and, indeed,
so generally misunderstood. has
plunged the whole subject of taxation
under the new state constitutional
amendment into sea Of political and
sectional feeling and prejudice, which
not only makes just, efficient and
scientific measure impossible of enact
ment at this time, but threatens Sec
tional hatrods which may disrupt and
enGanger the future best DEVELOPMENT
of our great commonwealth, besides
making the subject of just state taxa
ton the mere football OF partisan and
sectional politics.
"Fourth-Minnesota is achieving
marked success in the assessment and
taxation Of iron ore lands Under the
present ad valorem system. so that
there is no urgent and vital public
need of a measure of this kind at this
time and nothing to prevent the state
from taking ample time under the
provisions Of the new constitutional
amendment and with the aid of the
state tax commission to work out a
system of taxation on a thoroughly
scientific, dispassionate and equitable
basis, devoid Of political and sectional
feeling and one that will commend
itself to the people of Minnesota at
large, regardless of section or party.
industry or class, for its justice and
equality of principle, as well as for it's
efficient. carefully wrought and thor
oughly practicable administrative fea-
lures"

tify Mrs. Bowie,

Pittsburg April 16.-While they
would not positively identify Mrs.
Helen Boyle, now held in custody at
Mercer, Pa, in connection with the
kidnapping of Willie Whitla, as their
servant who disappeared from their
home in St. Louis in 1907 about the
same time that diamonds valued at
$4,000 were missed. Mr. and Mrs. H.
Choteau Dyer, who went to Mercer
and talked with Mrs. Boyle, stated
that in nearly respect the prisoner
corresponds with their former maid
Mrs. Dyer seems especially confident
that Mrs. Boyle and Mrs Frank Minor,
the servant who disappeared, are one

All roads outside of the capital are
occupied by the investing forces,
whose twelve-mile front can be traced

are stopped and questioned and some
times taken before the commander of
the nearest outpost.

HEAVIEST SNOWFALL

city was enjoying the warmth Of tho
heaviest snowfall it has experienced
since 1892.
All day Saturday tho weather was

but Saturday night, about midnight the
snow began to fall thick and furious and
clear to the middle Of the day Sunday
tho heecy ice fell. Both Saturday and
Monday tho merchants Of the city were
busy sliding the msss Of snow from the
tops of their buildings, and the streets
were crowded with kids who found
amusement in hurling balls Of snow at
che good-natured pede strians who were
engaged in purchasing their holiday
gaNtis.
The snow was welcomed by all, but
like dissipation, it is an ENJOYABLE
thing. The approach and the presence
OF it is true enjoyment, but when the
melting comes, like the "morning At.
ter" the slush is disagreeable.
