amending the primary election law
and one repeating the presidential
preference primary law will go be-
fore the Minnesota house this week
for action. They have been voted out

Iron Ore Tax Fails

st. Paul, March IT, - Voting 81 to
40, the Senate killed the bill which
would impose super-tax on the out
put of the iron ore mines. The meas

insure the bills defeat. Before the
session started, proponents of the
measure admitted they did not have
enough votes to win.
For the last two months the ton
mage tax question has been one of the
predominant issues before the Legis-
lature. AS in previous sessions, it was
the 'bugbear" of the legislators from
the North country.

The Republicans have held meet
ing TO determine upon the ACCESSIBILITY

MeetZe as an independent candidate,
the general feeling among the men,
bers present was that Republican sup
port OF Mr.. Mectzc, as an independent
would tend TO disrupt the Democratic
party. 1t was thought that at later
day the policy Of the party could more
safely be determined on. Therefore,
the committee was vested with the au-
thority OF making 4 nomination later,
IL in its Judgment, such nomination
was deemed TO the best interest of the
Republican party
In support Of his candidacy, Mr..
Meetze is running in the local papers,
as paid advertisement. n letter from
r. III. Willis. OF Roanoke, one Of the
leaders OF the last House Of Delegates
In this letter, Mr. Willis states that
there is strong sentiment among the
Older members to elect AIR. Meetze

While MIR. Meetze was defeated for the
speakcrship two sessions ago, and was
defeated for the chairmanship of the
caucus last session. this is the first in
timation that his home county had
