The third bill provides that iron
ore, whether mined or unmined, now
assessed at so per cent, shall be as
sessed at rs per cent.
OF the first bill, Senator Jones de-
clares that on a 1 per cent basis, the
taxation of personal property, house,
hold goods, etc., except for large hold
ers, will be virtually abolished be-
cause of not being worth while as
sessing; and, with the idea Of meeting
the objection that a man possessing,
say. $4,000 OF household goods would
escape and benefit more than the man
with 5000 worth, the senator declared
that it would give the latter an op-
portunity Of acquiring the large
amount without being penalized
for it.
AS to the third bill Senator Jones,
who is an anti-tonnage taxer, on the
ground that it taxes production and
is therefore wrong in principle, says
that his proposed increase would have
a beneficial effect on the production of
ore and would hit only the fee holder
of land.
Municipal Coal Docks.
A bill has been introduced in the
senate by Senators o. H. Griggs of
Virginia, w. A. Campbell of Minne-
apolis and Richard Jones of Duluth,
which would permit Duluth and other
cities of the first class to operate mu-
nicipal coal docks. It is believed that
this bill will have little opposition,
as there is widespread indignation
