ROADS PAY HEAVY TAXES
Amount Due to Minnesota Breaks All
Records

Railroads operating in Minnesota
will pay to the state as their 1913
gross earnings taxes $5,733, 713.10, the
rate being per cent.
The tax is $4,000 more than the
state levy for revenue purposes, which
brought in $5,210,O00 last year, and a
trif1e less than one-eighth of the total
amount raised by the state, and all
the municipalities, counties, town
ships and school districts, through tax
levies, in 1913.
This is the first time in the history
OF the state that the railroads have
furnished for the support of the state
government more than has been ex-
acted from the people by direct taxa
ton. The amount is the largest ever
collected from the carriers and their
earnings were larger last year on Min
nesota business than ever before.
The 1912 earnings were reported at
$105,961 ,35S.19 and the tax at 4 per
cent was $4,23S,45432. This was a
record up to that time.

No one who heard the lectuFe will be able to forget 1t; many strong things were said. No newspaper which gives publicity to a fraud Is honest after 1t knows that the mnoey which pGys for 1t may be tainted with the blood of infants.
 The doctor asked his hearers to dis. miss from their minds. the foolish no. tiOn that medical laws are. class leg isSation and wished they could he made sufficiently stringent to releIvt the people from such a gigantic fraus and lift this disgrace from ciliza- tion which permits it.
