THANK YOU!
Ely, Mimi, July 19, 1912
DEAR BROTHER

J' '' IuIy -
DEAR BRoTHER:-
Noting that you are beginning
the 18th year as Editor of the
Miner, 1 wish to extend congrat-
ulations. May you be spared for
at least 18 years more to manage
it. 1t is easy to throw bricks, and
often we forget to throw boquets,
but 1 am going to tell you that 1
personally appreciate the paper you
are publishing here. Everyone
looks at some questions differently
Il don't suppose that you agree
with everything that preach some
times-and 1 don't always agree
with your conclusions but we each
have a right to our opinions, and
are the better for those opinions.
Again congratulations. And
may 1.-The Miner, and its genial
Editor, continue for years to come
to exercise their power for good,
and boost for this splendid section.
Yours Sincerely,
E. F. STIDD.

TAXATION IN. MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
'wenty-sixth Article) .
Equalization by the Tax Commission Continued

village property 32.1O per cent.
Using these percentages as the fac
tor the true value of real estate in
Mower county is found to be $32,-
664, ,032, of which amount $27, ,174-
745 is represented in farm property,
and IS, ,489, ,2S7 in city and, village
property.
The ratio of assessed to sales
value is similarly ascertained in
other counties, and is used as the
factor for determining the true
value of real property in each
county of the state. These ratios
will be applied to the 1912 assess
ment as equalized by county boards
of equalization and will in large
measure determine what changes
are necessary to fairly equalize the
assessment as between the different
counties of the state.
It is the policy of the tax COM
mission to notify the county auditor
of any contemplated changes in his
county, with request that he give
the same due publicity. Ample
time is given any interested person
to file objections, either personally
or in writing, to the proposed
changes. Such objections are fairly
and impartially considered before
final action is taken.
While the sales method of deter
mining true value may not be
absolutely accurate in every in
stance, it is, sas.already stated, the
best measure of value that the COM
mission has been able to find. /.
About ESQ, 900 sales have been list
ed, and as each transfer represents
the judgement of two people, the
seller and the buyer, as to the value
of given piece of property, the
total sales included in the tabula-
tion represent the combined judg-
ment of 500, 900 people. While the
price paid may in some instances
have been more than the true value
of the property, it is not unreason-
able to assure that there are just as
many instances in which the sale
price was less than true value,
thus one off-setting the other.
One of the strong points in the
system is that it applies the same
fueoct1rR of uo1,,a fha come word
stick, to each district and each
county in the state. Whether the
values determined by the sales
method be high or low, the system
affords uniform measure of value
for the entire state, and when in
telligently applied, should result in
as equitable an assessment as human
judgment can produce.

Some Game That?

The long looked for ball game
between the K. of P's. and the
Odd Fellows was pulled off Tues
day evening and a large crowd
were present. The game was en-
loyed by the spectators and the
roofing for both sides was good.
The K. of P. lodge had a full
team in the field while the Odd
Fellows were compelled to draft
from among the spectators. The
drafting process proved to their
advantage and the team won by a
score of 8 and S. AL. Ko1stad for
the Odd Fellows and Alex Nc
Pherson and Rev. Stidd for the
Knights played an error1ess game.
Joe Seraphine and liver Visited for
the Knights were the battery and
John Harri and Matt Martin for
the Odd Fellows. E. E. Chalk of
Duluth was the umpire.
Another game will be played
later in the season and it is pro-
posed to pull off the next one some
afternoon. With the society

The manner of ascertaining the
percentage of assessed to true value
of real estate by the sales method"
was briefly explained in the pre-
ceding article.
The necessary data or informa-
ton for the tabulation of real
estate sales is gathered by repre-
sentatives of the tax commission.
These representatives visit each
county of the state aud make list
of all transfers of real estate made
by warranty deed during a given
period. usually two years. Care is
taken to include only such trans
fers as represent bona fde sales,
and in which the consideration
stated in the deed is the actual
amount for which the property was
sold. Transfers that give only a
nominal consideration, or that in
clude the exchange of one piece of
property for another, or transfers
between near relatives. such as
father to son, are not included in
the tabulation.
Each transfer listed shows the
name of the grantor and grantee,
the date of the conveyance, the
consideration, the book and page
of record, brief description of the
property, and the assessed value of
each description as shown by the
last preceding assessment roll.
The sales are compiled and tab
ulated by assessment districts and
by counties. Separate tabulations
are made for city and village prop
erty, and for farm property, show
ing in each case the total number
of sales. the aggregate amount for
which the property was sold, the
total assessed value of the same
and the percentage af assessed to
sales value. This percentage is
then applied to all real estate in the
district or county and becomes the
factor by winch It's true Vaiue Is
determined.
Let us take Mower county as an
illustration. The total number of
transfers used in compiling the real
estate sales in this county for the
four year period ending December
81, 1911, was 1909. Of this
number 5o8 sales covered farm
property, and Oil sales city and
village property. The total con-
sideration amounted to $4, 781 ,465,
and the assessed value in 1910 to
81 ,4O4,376, an average of 2o.37
per cent of assessed to sales value.
The average assessed value of the
farm property sold was found to be
1888 per cent, and of the city and

q YEARS AGO In ELY
FROM THE ELY IRON HOME

Scadden is now shipping steadily
from both shafts at the rate of over
FIVE cars a day. Shaft No. is now
down $50 feet. and cross cut is
being driven northward. 1t is the
intention to sink this shaft some
fifty feet further. No. 2 is down
eighty feet and drifting is also be-
ing done here. This shaft is much
dryer than No. 1, and turns out
equally as good ore.
The Cornish wrestling match for
the championship of the range and
$50 side. between Paddy Welch,
of Tower and Dick Foley of Ely,
came off at Sakrison's hall last
Saturday evening. After spirited
sparing match of three rounds by
Muck Mclean and Alex. Guriten,
in which the honors were about
even, the contestants of the even
ing, Welch and Foley. entered the
ring. WEIGH was trif1e heavier
then Foley, but otherwise the two
seemed pretty evenly matched.
Paddy Vail, VIM. Goldsworthy,
and Amos Sheppard acted as stick
lers. The audience expected to see
close contest, and so they did, for
about an hour, when the Tower
man complained of being out of
condition and yielded the honors to
Foley without either one getting a
fall. Another meeting will pro-
bably take place at Tower before

Buried i'm Duluth

The funeral of the late Michael
Mccarthy who /, died in Globe,
Arizona, last week, took place in
Duluth Tuesday. The attendance
was large, many friends from the
ranges being present. The funeral
was held from the cathedral and
the pail bearers were selected from
the noted mining men of Duluth
and the ranges with whom deceased
was favorite. Mr.. Mccarthy
died of heart failure after having
climbed several hundred feet up a
ladder in the shaft. He had not
been i'll before he was stricken.

CONSIDERABLE newspaper space
is being used up at the present
time to define a progressive. Some
have maintained that a progressive
is fellow with an itching itch for
office and that he can be drawn from
either the Republican or Democratic
parties, and that he is in favor of
every undertaking scheme of the
present or the future. Others
have it that a progressive is strictly
a personal affair and that he will
not play unless he can be 1T" all
the time.
The Ely miner., 1912-07-26

THE professional politician with
axes to grind is the prime mover
in the progressive cause at present
agitating the country. The same
class was the prime factor in every
ISM that has made its appearance
in politics about every so often.
The wings, the free silverites were
all progressives according to
history. The Republican and
Democratic voters who stick to the
old political parties as matter of
choice and not for official purposes
are classed as standpatters and are
branded by the progressives as
detrimental to the government, the
emoluments of which the pro-
gressives seek to control. When
it comes right down to vote how
ever, the average man without the
official itch will well consider the
standing of the parties. He will
go back in memory and contrast
the regimes of the parties in the
past. If he wants to go back to
the 1893-1896 times of Democracy
he will vote for them but if he is
satisfied with the full dinner pail
times of the Republican administra-
tion he will probably cast his bal
lot for the Republican party. The
voter remembers these things be-
cause they were forcibly and in
delibly stamped on his memory in
those stirring souphouse times.
After all is said and done, there
are only two parties in this country
the Republican and Democratic.
If you are a Republican you will
vote for Taft as the nominee of the
party and ditto for Wilson if you
are a Democrat. From all ap-
pearances Independents are mostly
Democrats and Progressives are the
disgrunted turndowns of both
parties. The issues of the United
States do not hinge on the per-
sonalities of the candidates for
president but on the policies re-
presented by the parties that NOM
mated them.

New Plant Working

The new machinery installed at
the Consolidated Vermilion pro-
perty at Mud Greek is now in
working order and has taken the
place of the temporary plant which
is being moved to the Minnesota
Steel near the junction. The new
plant will be able to handle the
mining shaft being sunk. The
consolidated has shown up another
deposit of high grade ore near
where the old shaft was sunk
several years ago and apart from
the shaft where ore was struck
early in the season. A shaft is
also to be sunk on the Minnesota
Steel. Kenneth Duncan formerly
of the Pioneer mine in this city has
charge of the work.

Notwithstanding this is $50, ,000,-

ago, 1868 have been arrested by
postoffice inspectors. During the
year 422 persons have been con-
victed and sentenced and 571 cases
are yet to be disposed of. With
the criminal prosecutions a wall of
protection against such frauds is
gradually being built around the
American people. Formerly only
fraud order was issued against
the concerns. The report says
that these fraud manipulators, who
usually exploit bogus mines, fake
remedies and worthless lands, con-
stitute distinct class of law break
ers. Among the wealthy offenders
who have been caught by the in
spectors are criminals who have
posed as respectable citizens, leaders
intheir communities and personages
in the highest social and business
fields. Some of them were mil
lionaires, enriched by their plumber.
Some of these men are now serving
prison sentences.
