"SUPER-TAx" CLAUSE ON OUTPUT
OF IRON MINES EXPECTED TO
BE ROCK ON WHICH LEGlS-
LATORS WILL SPLIT.
LINES ALREADY DRAWN
FOR FIGHT BEFORE HOUSE
Anti-Suffrage Forces Gain Partial Vic
tory When House Committee Post
pones Action on Bills in Order
to Give Opponents Chance
for a Hearing.

st. Paul, Feb. 15.-Lines are IS
ready being drawn for the fight in the
House Of Representatives on the So
called ''super-tax" on output of iron
mines, the tonnage tax in more dras-
tic form, introduced by Representa-
tives Bjorge, Warner and Bendixen.
The House committee on taxes and
tax laws has recommended the bill
out without recommendation with
the request that it be made special
order of business.
The committees action was taken
after the close of the third public
hearing held on the bill.
The committee was told that labor
would be the chief sufferer if the bill
was passed. John Dwan of Two Har-
bors said that the big mining COM
panies would curtail their operations
in Minnesota if the additional burden
was placed on them. Other speakers
said the same thing.
Besides Mr.. Dwan, the following ap-
peared before the committee to pro.
test against the passage of the bill:
D. b. Woodbridge, w, D. Baily and j.
G. Agnew, Duluth; Lawrence A. Ross
man, Grand Rapids.
Charles T. Murphy of Aurora is ex-
pected to lead the fight against the
measure. Henry 0. Bjorge, c. NJ
Bendixen and Charles H. Warner, au-
for it,
Anti-suffragists have scored a vic
tory at the capitol. They succeeded in
having the House elections committee
postpone reporting the suffrage bills
until the anti-suffragists are given op-
portunity to present arguments.
The committee originally intended
to report the bill calling for the SUBJ
mission Of constitutional amend
ment for equal suffrage and the bill
providing for women voting for presi-
Dental electors. 1t was planned to
make the bills special orders of bust
ness.
Mrs. J. B. Gilfllan of Minneapolis
led delegation of woman who pro-
tested to the committee. They said
that they were opposed particularly
to the statutory suffrage bill.
There are three groups of women
now at the capitol working for or
against the suffrage measures. Mrs.
Andreas LELAND of Minneapolis heads
those who are asking for the statutory
bill. Mrs. F. A. Kingsley is the leader
of the group asking for the constitu-
tional amendment. Mrs. Gilfllan is
the leader of the "antis."

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
it is cruel to force nauseatinq,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose'' mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach and that a teaspoonfu)
given today saves sick child tomor'
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. ADV.

This action on the part Of San Die

entertains the men every Saturday

order also calls for plentiful supply

lit is certain that the number of per-
SONS wearing the decoration who have
never been under fire is even larger.
The classification "behind the front"
probably applies only to non-combat-
ants engaged in war service, and not
to individuals like Won Jagow and
other civilians, who from time to time
hive been stationed at the main head
quarters.
A horde Of wearers of the iron cross
ksve been simply employed at the

Iairplane raid. AS an example of the
lavishness with which the crosses are
handed out, a correspondent of the
Associated Press was present at a
luncheon party of eight at the main
headquarters in 1915, where the seven
Germans present all had been decorat-
ed and not a single one of them had
ever been under fire.
During the Franco Prussian war
about one in every twenty participants
was given an iron cross, and, except
in the case of high military comman-
ders and sons Of royalty, it was
awarded only for exceptional bravery
in the fiedl.

their influence received them, that the
