Governor Johnson Wins Decision
Which Will Change Basis of
Taxation.
RICH ORE BEDS IN STATE
Court Holds Election in 1906 Carried
wide Open" Tax Amendment
Legislature to Act.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 9.-Governor
John A. Johnson has won his fight to
tax the United States steel corporation
on its iron ore output for the benefit
of the state, instead of taxing it on
assessed valuation for the benefit of
St. Louis county, in which the mines
are situated.
The state supreme court held yester-
day that the sO-called wide open tax
amendment which has been in the
courts for two years was passed at the
state election in 1906.
Taxed ON Valuation.
At present the steel trust mines on
the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges are
taxed on an assessed valuation of
$3.50, 100000 and the annual taxes
amount to about $690.OO0 The amend.
ment allows gross tonnage tax to be
placed on the ore taken from the
mines.
A tonnage tax bill already is in pro-
cess of preparation, and will be pre-.
sented to the Legislature within few
days. The steel trust will oppose ii
bitterly. but, as the trusts adherents
consist mainly of st. Louis county leg
islators. it is expected it will be
passed.

record taken from the trust mines. A
