COMMERCIAL CLUB PROTESTS,
Bjorge Measure Comes in for GriIIinq by
ESQ Members of Ely Commercial
Club at Special Meeting.
Confidence Expressed as to Defeat Of
viscious Legislation by Fair
Minded Members.

About the most vicious piece
of legislation ever proposed in the
Minnesota legislature is the tom
mage tax, or super-tax, bill which
was reported out of the tax COM
mittee Wednesday without recon-
mendation.
70 The bill is the most unfair of the
unfair measures heretofore fathered
by Bjorge and his cohorts and aims
practically a death blow at our
main industry, our cities, homes
and schools. A legislature in
years gone by, goaded to the break
ing point by the farmer and brewer
element of the state, passed ton
mage tax bill which would have
put us on the same basis we were
on many years ago when the cities
and school districss had to beg for
every cent they SECURED while the
tonnage tax on iron ore went to
the state. The late Governor John
son put the kiboshson that bill and
it will be up to Governor Burn
-quist to do the same with this in
case it should pass. It is to be
hoped however that there will be
enough fair minded men found in
both branches of the legislature to
effectively squelch the measure,
and from present appearances it
appears very much as if there were
more men interested in justice to
the entire state in the house and
senate, than hide-bound section
alists.
The super-tax calls for tax of
two per cent on all iron ore mined
in the state in addition to the reg
ular ad valorum tax. This would
mean that every ton would be COM
PEELED to pay the additional tax re-
gardless of values, lean years or
years of depression. While per-
haps, the companies would stand
the tax, they would not do so with
out a fight and this will mean
several years of bitter litigation
and non-payment of any tax. The
range cities and towns would lose
their revenues and the burden of
maintenance of the cities and
schools would fall on the property
outside the mines.
The entire smear is one born of a
desire to harm an industry and
singles out iron ore as such in
dustry. Faru products, timber,
stone quarries and other manufac-
turing institutions are not named
in the bill and it is simply class
legislation, contrary to the con-
stitution and the outcome of a
sectional prejudice.
The introduction of tonnage and
other tax measures on the mines
of the northern part of the state
seems to be a hobby with this
fellow with the gimlet name.
Some one has remarked that he
made study of the subject but
the reading of the bill would not
indicate such. The only study, il
seems, has been the study of get.
ting up something just a little
meaner than the previous act. We
sincerely hope that the legislature
will successfully tie can to this
fellow this year and put a stop t.
this continual annoyance.
The vote on the measure in tn
lower house is scheduled for mex

men. The unfairness of the meas
ure is daily alternating south state
members and from all indications
the bill will be most scientifically
butchered on Tuesday. Every
fair minded man in the northern
end of the state hopes so, at least.
The Ely Commercial Club held
a meeting Tuesday evening and
passed resolutions protesting
against the passage of the Bjorge
super-tax measure. A large at
tendance was present and the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted.
President Murphy was also in
structed to appoint a committee of
five members to go to St. Paul to
use their efforts towards the defeat
of the measure. The resolution
was as follows:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, a bill has been
introduced in the legislature
to impose a super-tax of 2 per
cent on all iron ores mined in
the state, and
WHEREAS, the members of
this organization have their
homes and business interests
in mining community which
will feel most keenly this dis
elimination against the north
eastern part of the state, which
relies to a great extent on the
mining industry for the sup
port of its municipalities and
schools, and
WHEREAS, after due con-
sideration, we believe the pro-
posed legislation to be unjust,
impracticable and discrimin-
atory and may hold up the
payment of taxes uutil the
legality is tested in the courts,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLv-
ED, that we, the Commercial
Club of the City of Ely, pro-
test with all our power against
this measure and hereby re-
quest our representatives of
this 61st Legislative District
and all fair-minded men of
every other district to use
every honorable means in
their power to defeat said bill.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that copies of this resolution
be sent to Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist and to each of the
members of the St. Louis
County delegation.
