NO INJUSTICE DONE.

Referring to the state auditors
abstract which shows that all but
six counties of the state receive more
from the state treasury than they
pay in taxes to the state, the Fergus
Falls Journal truly says that a large
share of the states revenue comes
from the gross earnings on railroads
and other indirect taxes. and that
the people Of the entire state pay a
share of these indirect taxes. But,
the Journal adds, "There is one
place where outside counties benefit
to some extent, and that is in state
road taxes, the big cities paying in
more than they receive: but as their
automobilists make use of the
country roads, no great injustice is
done them by the state -
The general one mill state school
tax also inures to the benefit of the
country school districts. St. Paul,
Minneapolis and the iron ore dis
tricts contribute considerably more
than they receive of the one mill
tax. But there is no injustice done.
The correct theory of taxation is
that individuals should pay accord
ing to their ability to pay. State
taxes are uniform throughout the
state and the counties that have the
largest valuations must contribute
to the state revenues accordingly.
An individual with an assessed valu-
alton of $4,000 should pay ten times
as much as one with assessable prop
erty of the value of $4,000. A
county, as far as taxation is con-
cerned, is simply an aggregation of
Individual assessments.
