State Tax Commission Files Report.

State Tax Commission Files Report.
Attempts to tax real and personal
property at it's full value are con-
fessed failure in Minnesota by the
state tax commission, whose annual
report has been filed with the gov
ernOr. In spite of the law, the COM
mission says, it has been the uni
versal practice for years to value
property at Is to so per cent of the
full value for taxation purposes.
"The truth might as we'll be frankly
acknowledged" the report says,
"that it is a dead letter, still-born
statute, uninforced and uninforce-
able.''
The commission enumerates another
failure in the attempt to reach
moneys, credits and other intangible
property for taxation. In practice, it
says, it has been possible to reach a
very small percentage of such prop
erty. It recommends that instead of
the usual rate all such property be
listed separately to pay a fat rate OF
4 mills on the dollar. "We believe
public sentiment would support such
a change,'' says the commission. cit
would be long step in the right
direction, but it should not be
attempted without the fullest public
discussion.
The gross earnings system of taxa
ton is commended and the COM
mission takes stand in favor of ex-
tending it to street railways, tele-
graph lines, sleeping cars and similar
corporations. An attempt to do this
with street railroad companies failed
at the last session of the legislature.
AS to steam railroads the COM
mission intimates that the present 4
per cent tax may be found too low.
In case the revised valuation of roads
now being made should show the tax
too low the commission favOrs an in
crease in the rate to correspond.
The report takes stand against the
income tax, not believing conditions
to warrant a change in the system.
1t is silent on the tonnage tax for
iron ore. The present method of
assessment of the iron mines is ex-
planned, but no new recommendation
is made.
A change is favored in the date of

Sister Fuller Doubtless Knows.
A wise Wisconsin professor says
that education helps marriage; not in
the way of securing husband, but in
affording woman boundless oppor-
tunities to refuse offers of marriage
point blank and without lip culver
or voice tremor. It may be true,
but our word on it that not many
women sever one fishing line on which
d trophy hangs until nibble at least
is felt at the end of another: and no.
body should believe otherwise.-Little

Equal Representation the Slogan.
There is absolutely no valid reason
why Minnesota should not be given
reapportionment of legislative repre-
sentation by the legislature which is
soon to meet. The new census is out
with basis to work on, and since it
shows gross inequality in present
representation, it would seem that
every fair minded member in the
legislature would be willing to aid in
fair readjustment, so. that all parts
of the state will have equal represen-
tation, as near as can be.-Inter-Lake
Tribune.

Nothing Awkward About 1t,
The question of Reproducing the
state is an awkward one for the state
senator's. If they redistrict the state
it will be il effect legislating them
selves out of Office. The senatorial
term is four years and if the state is
reapportioned this winter there will
be a general election of senators at
the next election, whereas if there is no
apportionment the senators will have
their Office for two years longer. It
will thus be seen that there will be
considerable inducement to the
senator's to vote against the reappor-
tionment.-Slayton Gazette.

cent; poultry, so; eggs, 60; cabbage,

oranges, 20. There are some pretty
fair margins between the farm and the

the arteries are to the human body.
Without them no community can exist,
and it naturally follows that the
better the roads the greater the pros
perity of the community. Many
people will 60 miles out of their way
to trade at some place to which they
may travel over good hard roads, and
in so doing will avoid the town near
