LAW A JOKE
Says the State Tax Commission and
Recommends Changes

Removal of the $500 local as
SCISSORS working throughout the
state, and the employment of one
assessor in each county in their
places, together with complete
revamping of the system of taxa
ton, will be asked of the legisla-
ture by the state tax commission of
the 1913 session. Another effort
will be made, too, to change the
law pertaining to valuations and
assess property on fiat so per cent
basis, instead of continuing the
pretense of assessing it at its full
value, but in reality only listing it
at one-fourth or one-half of its true
worth.
The assessment laws and system
of taxation now in use in Mime
sofa are numerically fayed by the
tax commission in sections of its
third annual report, now in course
of preparation. The tax dodger, "
too, is grilled. Among other
things the commission says:
Ever since Minnesota became a
state we have had a law among Our
statutes requiring that all property
shall be assessed at its true and full
value in money Another statutory
provision equally ancient defines
true and full value as meaning
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-12-20

THE recommendations of the tax
commission as given in another
column is about as good move as
has been thought of for some time.
There is no denying the fact that
the present method of assessing
property is altogether to easy for
the tax dodger. While they are
about the tinkering business it
might also be good idea to fix
the law of taxation on money and
credits so as to give the common
fellow a show. At present the
man with money in the bank, in
his sox or in a tin can in the cellar
can assess himself according to his
conscience and then pay S. 81 :
900 on his conscience's estimate
while the other fellow who invests
in home at once becoms tangibly
liable for the ruling tax rate. This
will be 500 in Ely this year. or
S. .O9 per hundred. Thus the fell
low who owns his home, builds up
town and invests his money is
soaked while the other fellow gets
away with the payment of barely
nothing, and nothing whatever if
his conscience is elastic enough to
forget cash on hand items.

THE state jag farm at Willmar
will open the first of the year and
be ready to receive patients. The
board of control with P. M. Ring
dahl at the head now comes to the
front with decision that no county
in the state can have more than
FIVE patients there at any one time.
The three larger counties of the
state claim that this will not be
enough for them and that many of
the smaller counties could get
along with less space. There are
16 courts in St. Louis county that
have the power of certifying jag
to the farm and under the ruling of
the board only FIVE from the county
can be sent. Then there are Hen
nepin and Ramsey counties as well.

MoNARcHIsTs GETTING
 BUSY IN PORTUGAL.
,lv AIaska News Bureau.J


 LONDON. Feb. 25-The News as syrls that supreme effort has been srrauzed for the mouth of March to overthrow the Portuguese republic. The coup is Co be uade over the northern and easterr spanish frontiel with ,he intention of a dash towards the capital. Large sums of money nave been spent In the past few months for this purpose.
 It is recalled that the spanish au- thogiues some time ago allowed PoT. tugese royalist bands under com mand of General Concero 10 use spanish territory as a base for their lnroads into northern Portugal.
 The Portuguese government. on It's side. according to this story. has been almost openly organizing a republican movement in Spain. This movement. which has for it's object the uniting Of spain and Portugal in a single Iberlan republic. has met with con siderable success. The impending struggle in Portugal is therefore. per haps. as likely to involve Spain as it is to restore the Portuguese mon archy.
