URGES REVISION OF TAXES

1.-THE question OF the equitable taxa
ton Of Mines" continues Mr. Kelley,
lis one OF statewide interest for the
reason that mining Is the chief indus
try of an important section OF our
state. The State Grange has adopted
resolutions favoring tonnage tar on
the output OF the iron and copper
mines and the legislature had bills TO
this end before It In 1909.
I'm fixing the value Of the mines
OF Minnesota the Tax Commission OF
that state took into account the haz-
ards OF the business the volume Ut
the output OF the mines, the cost Of
production. the ore and other proper
ty In sight, the geological formation,
the market value Of stock when quot
ed, the dividends paid and every other
known element entering into mining
values.
The state tax commission OF Mich

lines as those followed by the state OF
Minnesota. and upon concluding its
place all mining proper
ty of this state on the tax roll for
both local and state assessments at

ton and laws OF the state without
fear or favor
ct is especially important that this
work be done In Michigan during the
first few months Of the incoming state
administration for the reason that the
state board OF equalization will meet
during the summer OF 1911 and will
determine at that time the proportion
OF the state tax to be borne by the
several counties for period OF five
