cordwood, which is being hauled
up to the school buildings, where
it will be cut into stoYewood by the
boys of the school.
An extra supply of hay was
needed for the sheep, so the con-
tract for 50 tons was let to John

per ton. Most of it has been pur-
chased of Mr.. Eidam of Forest
City. Boss Farmer Grant and MIR.
Eidam went to the field Thursday

quis wheat. Each man has his
own idea of rotation although a
great many still do not practice
rotation as they should. In a
four year plan there should be
one cultivated crop, one legume
like clover or alfalfa, and two
grain crops.
The season has a great deal
to do with the crop. Some sea-
sons nothing seems to make any
difference and inferior seed will
produce wonderful results. Yet
in nearly every year there are
some climatic conditions, either
lack of rain or too much Of it,
too hot or too cold, too much
wind or not enough, which may
ruin the best planned crop.

Proposed Law
TO Tax Industries
Tonnage Tax Not So Fair to
Northern Minnesota As
1t Appears
RANGE NOT BENEFITED
Additional Tax Apt to Check
Mining Industries in Younger
Range Counties

The bill now pending in the
State Legislature providing for
the imposition of a tonnage tax
on iron ore differs from preced-
ing attempts of the kind in that
it would not, if it became law,
relieve the mine properties Of
any part of the taxes they pay
under the valuation system, but
would place an additional or SUI
per-tax upon every ton Of ore
produced by the operators.
1t is not a tax upon property.
It is tax upon industry.
1t would place an unjust and
additional impost upon the bust
ness of mining which, while the
large, strong companies might
protestingly pay and survive the
infliction, would be a grievous
burden to smaller companies and
a decided deterrent to the de-
velopment Of the newer ranges.
It is inconceivable how any
resident of the Guyana Range
can with honest purpose, lend
any support or countenance to
such a measure. 1t is a direct
blow to the best interests of the
great range of counties from the
eastern line Of Itasca to the
western line of Hubbard and
perhaps beyond.

without doubt injure the mineral.

TO STANDARDIZE SLEIGHS

A petition was circulated here
this week asking for a law to
compel manufacturers of sleighs
to make the distance between

was introduced last year but
was defeated by small margin.
The idea of a standard tread
seems a good one. With increas-

on their infant mining enter
prises burden which would set
them back for years, and would
do so at a critical stage in their
development. What they need
is helping hand-not an addi-'
tional weight of taxes on the
top Of their present load.
IF the mining properties are
not sufficiently taxed under the
valuation system, the state tax
commission has the power and
the will to raise their assess
ment. The Legislature has a.
ready prescribed the method and
furnished the means for the just
and equitable taxation OF all
property, iron ore and mineral
lands included, and without de-
string to cast any reflection up
on the judgment or to critic Sc
the work of the Tax Commits
sion, it must be admitted that
the Guyana Range has by no
means escaped taxation, but has
borne at least its share.
There is not resident Of the
Guyana Range but knows this
to be fact, yet one of its rep
resentatives in the Legislature
is acting as step-father of bill,
the effect Of which will be to in
jure his constituents not merely
in their pockets and their bust
ness, but in their pride-for it
is humiliating for them to have
to admit that they selected such
a man to represent CD them.
AS far as the interests OF the
Guyana Range Counties are con-
cerned, not one good purpose
would be served by the adoption
of such measure and the peo-
pie of the district and the peo-
pie of the state at large are fair
minded enough and love justice
and fair-play well enough to see
that no community is singled out
to be the victim of the spleen
of disappointed or narrow
minded politicians by being
called upon to pay in addition to
all it's just and lawful taxes an
immoral, illogical and Illegal i'm
post. The people of the Guyana
Range need the help and sup

ed man to defeat this attack and
