In each of the two biennial reports
which have been issued by the state
tax commission attention is called to
the fact that railroad property in this
state is not taxed as high as other
property.
The railroads at the present time,
in lieu Of all other taxes, pay into the
state treasury annually per cent OF
their gross earnings in this state.
Under a wise provision of our con
stitution this tax cannot be diminished
or increased without the approval OF
the voters of the state.
Having become convinced that the
tax was too low the legislature at its
last session passed an act submitting
the question of increasing the tax
from 4 per cent to 5 per cent to the
voters Of the state to be voted upon at
the election next Tuesday.
The tax commission believes that
the railroads, like all other taxpayers
are entitled to fair treatment
more and no less, and that these
taxes should not be increased unless
the facts fully warrant it. In order
therefore to make assurance doubly
sure the commission. with the able
assistance of Prof. e.. ". Robinson Of
the department of economics of the
State University, has just completed
another investigation of the whole
matter and find as result that the
proposed increase is more than justi-
fed by the facts.
Four per cent of the gross earnings
of railroads in Minnesota in 1911 (the
last year for which complete reports
are at hand) amounted to $780,
760.25. The Investigation by the tax
commission shows that if all roads
were assessed and taxed the same as
other property they would be re-
uuired to pay $5,011, ,267.12; or $780,
506.87 more than 4 per cent of their
gross earnings. In order to obtain
this amount on the gross earnings pa.
sis it would be necessary to raise the
rate from to 5.46 per cent.
The foregoing figures are based up
on the states valuation Of the rail
road property with additions to date,
If the valuation allowed by the
court in the rate cases, which was
considerably higher than the states
appraisal, should be accepted as cor.
rect, the tax assessed against the
roads, on the same basis as other pro-
perty would be $5,4S0,964.18; and the
rate of gross earnings tax necessary

plete again which is gratifying to both
pupils and teacher. It is a tempta-
tion to stop school and earn money
when such good wages are offered by
farmers and the boys who resist and
stick to school are to be congratulate
ed.
The Eighth grade also is welcoming
back recreant pupils. There is still
one missing. Where's Clifford NJ?
The sixth grade is having politi-
cal campaign in their room. Six wide
awake boys, three from each division,
have been chosen by their classmates
to campaign for their favorite candi-
date, after which a vote will be taken.

to bring that amount into the state

to bring that amount into the state
treasury would be 5.92 per cent.
# the valuation which the compan.
les have themselves placed upon their
property. which is still higher, should
be taken as the basis of taxation, the
rate of tax on gross earnings would
greatly exceed any of the above fig.
ures.
It is clearly evident from, these fig.
ures that the proposed increase from
4 per cent to S per cent is fully justi-
fled.
Under our constitution failure to
vote on the proposition is the same as
a vote against it.

REPUBLICAN SPECIAL TRAIN Wis
TIED WARREN

The Republican special train carry
ing Gov. Eberhart, Senator Knute Mel
son, Mr.. Manahan, candidate for con
gressman-a -at-large, and number of
other candidates on the state ticket
arrived in Warren at GAP Monday
evening and was met at the depot by
large crowd. Speeches were made
from the rear end of the train, the
speakers being introduced by Judge
Mills, of the State Railroad and Ware
house Commission. Gov. Eberhart
spoke briefly refuting the charge that
he was responsible for the three-cent
railway fare, when the fact is that the
state thru it's attorney general and
railway commission have brought
suit against the railroads and the
whole matter is now before the SUI
preme court of the United States for
final determination. He also refuted
another charge brought by his enc
mics in regard to law enforcement,
and defed them to point to a single
administrative act of his in proof
thereof. He has appointed good, clean
temperance men to Office and Lyndon
A. Smith, the attorney general ap-
pointed by him, is one of the strong
est temperance men in the state.
James Manahan, candidate for con-
gressman-at-large and G. E. Elmquist
made short speeches. Senator
Knute Nelson made the principal ad-
dress, his subject being the trusts,
which he handled without gloves. AS
the train pulled out he urged his
hearers to vote for Gov. Eberhart and
the whole Republican ticket, not for
getting Uncle Knute.

Dear Sir:
a I noted the press comments IN this
legislative district which in some in
stances reflected upon the personality
of Mayor Paul Marschalk of Warroad.
Now am sure that no one would
wish to do Mr.. Marschalk wrong in
tentionally or for political reasons.
Mr.. Marschalk is recognized by all
W.o know him as a, man of good char
actcc, nf strict integrity, truthful in-
ielligent and a gentleman. A man
who would not hesitate a moment to
perform an official public duty, re-
gardless of consequences to his per-
sonal interests. He is fine type of
manhood, and you will find what I
say is true when you come to know
him. He is above speaking i'll of his
neighbor or slandering a political op-
ponent. If elected a member Of the
legislature you will find him active in
support of measures rejecting the
sentiment Of his district and state,
even to the repeal of the pond fish net
license law, which would stop the fish
industry on the Lake of the Woods, if
such action is demanded by the pub
lie. tell you, brother, he is man,
every inch of him, and because GER
tain kids have seen fit to throw mud
at him write this to you and all the
brother editors Of this district
Because Walther Anderson is a
banker makes him none the less a
man and because Paul Marschalk ia
buying fish Of the licensed fishermen
on the Lake of the Woods, is not ia
say that he is "Fish Trust All
the fish trust, if any there is, is the
law Of the State, that licenses the
pound nets, and makes it illegal with
out such license. See Section 1926
Revised Laws of 1906. My choice fol
the legislator is Louis Enstrom. He
is one man at least who is capable
and should be elected, but Is years
personal acquaintance with Mr.. Mar
schalk, impe!s me to appeal to my
! brother newspaper men, not to do hin
an injustice, in this political cam
paign. do not ask any one to vote
for him or support him, but do ask
that he be allowed to keep his goo6
name and this is on the square.
Yours very truly,
-R. J. BELL.

PRIZE

Because of rains in North Dakota
and Minnesota during the wheat har-
vest, the managers of the Northwest
,ern Products Exposition have decided
not to require farmers to send the
sheaves of their wheat with their five
bushel of threshed grain to compete
for the $4,000 prize to be awarded in
Minneapolis. November 1928.
The rain made it almost impossible
for farmers to secure good sheaves
and in some places they could not
have secured sheaves at all unless
they had pulled the grain before it
was ripe. This caused the exposition
people to waive the sheaf require
ment.
All that is necessary now to enter
the contest for the big prize is to
send five bushels of .threshed grain
prepaid to Will A. Campbell, manager
of the exposition, Minneapolis. An
application and entry blank will be
sent free on request to anyone desir-
! ing to enter and there will be no fee
of any kind asked or received.
Nels r. Bystrom has moved his fa-
mily into his own house on the west
side. The Fred Bakke family who
has occupied it since coming to War
ren, have moved into the Mrs. Peter,
son house near the 500 bridge.
