Treasurer D. l. Conkling reports
that the tax receipts for this year so
far amount to $S24,157 against $I15..
702 for 1916, with collections still com.

This shows a gain Of $10S,455 over

time next month, I expect to see the
total gain over last year close to $115,-

THE JONES BILLS

Senator Richard Jones of Duluth
has prepared three bills on taxation
that ought to meet the approval of
every farmer, every homeowner. every
laborer and every man engaged in
any legitimate productive business.
The first bill practically does away
with atXes on household goods. The
present system of taxing home fur
niture costs all it comes to and in
some places more, so that the people
get no revenue out of it. If this bill
passes, our homes will be relieved Of
the annoyance and nuisance of the
visits of the assessor.
The second bill proposes to greatly
reduce the burden of taxation on all
farm animals, crops and implements;
all merchandise; all manufacturing
materials, machinery and finished
products; and best of all it will great
ly reduce the taxes on all buildings
and other improvements in and upon
land.
Think what this will mean! An add
ed stimulant to all legitimate indus
try, more opportunities for labor, bet
ter wages-more business-more and

TONNAGE TAX AGAIN.

Tonnage takers very much in evidence again
at st. Paul, and it is rumored that Representative
Flowers, chairman of the house committee on taxa
tion is quietly encouraging tonnage tax advocates
to ON with the dance.''
Certainly very many Of the representatives and
senator's from southern and western sections of the
state are working along these lines. Tonnage tax
legislation will undoubtedly before the legisla
ture and the old sectional will be renewed Con-
d1tlons on the iron range and in Northern Minnesota
generally during the past year partly to blame
Tor the tonnage tax agitation
There is one way, however, to defeat this tonna ge
tax business, and that for the independent egisla
tors from the northern section of the state to start
right in and nip it in the bud
Tonnage tax is positively wrong in principle. It
will place tax on industry in addition to retarding
the development Of the cities and villages where the
ore lands situated.
Any tax on production is wrong. It prevents
labor from producing wealth and encourages the
Spectator to hold land out of use. tonnage tax
will not operate otherwise.
What is needed is a tax that will compel the de-
velopment OF the iron ore lands and tonnage tax
Will not 90 it, The way to do this is to increase the
ad valorem tax as is proposed in bills now before
the taxation committees of the legislature
Northern Minnesota is opposed to tonnage tax
because 1t Is wrong in principle. There is another
phase to the story, too.
There well-defned rumors to the effect that
disappointed office seekers from this section If tho
state are quietly advocating tonnage tax to "get
even:" If this is true, then we ought to amend o7r

JUST TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE

There are two kinds of people on
earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more, I
say.
Not the sinner and the saint, for it's
we'll understood
The good are half bad and the bad
are half good.
Not the rich and the poor, for, to
count a mans wealth
You must first know the state of his
conscience and health;
Not the humble and proud, for, in
life's little span.
Who puts on vain airs is not counted
man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears
No, the two kinds of people on earth
that I mean
Are the people who lift and the peo-
pie who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the
worlds masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes;
And, oddly enough, you will find too,
I ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you cas-
ing the load
or overtaxed lifters who toll down
the road?
Or are you leaner, who lets others
bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?

SINGLE TAX A REMEDY


The legislature should consider
that over 60 per cent of our Mime
sofa lands are idle, and that very
large percentage of our population
would be very glad to acquire and de-
velop them into fine farms and pas
lures, if the returns from their eff
forts were sufficient to make it worth
while. Worth while, gentlemen, do
you realize the meaning of those
words? Wealth will surely result
when the effort is worth while. Our
state Agricultural college will have
more to do assisting and that is just
what it is aching to do.
Why do SO many farmers and farm
ers' sons quit the farm? There is a
reason-a great, grand reason that
overshadows all others-Too hard to
make it worth while. And what is
the outcome? The labor market in
the cities is glutted, wages are too
low, farm products are decreased in
quantity and increased in price, and
all of us suffer.
What is the remedy? Make in
ducements to farmers and woVld-be
farmers, teach them how to make
the best of their opportunities, but
see that you furnish the opportunity
to each and everyone. Don't tax
them to death on their improve
ments. They are doing the state "a
great favor. Would you punish a
friend for doing you a personal favor,
even if he did profit by it?
Induce the farmers to stay on, and
city workers to g to the land, les
SEEMING the supply of labor in the city,
raising the wage Of those who remain
increasing their earning and buying
power.
The more farmers we have, the
more they will build, employing car
penters and materials that have been
made by other laborers, the more
roads will be- built, etc.
Get rid of our old pioneer tax laws
made when land was cheap. Land
taxes will not fail of collection now
or if they do in a few instances. many
eager persons will grasp the oppor.
tunity to get the land and pay the
tax.

When we get single tax, we will

ninety-five jobs, one hundred job
will be falling over ninety-five work
ers to get them to work. Then wage
will be somewhere near right.

A SUGGESTION TO UNIONS.

Many of the old 'war horses in the local labor
movement often ask why it is that the rank and
file of the membership do not turn out in greater
numbers to union meetings. There are in the neigh
borhood Of thirty five unions affiliated with the Du-
luth Federated Trades Assembly. Each union APP
points three delegates who entitled to voice and
vote in the central body, yet it is rare occasion
when more than twenty-five members in at
tendance.
Local unions up against the same problem.
Why do the members stay away from meetngsY
When the average mechanic finishes his 'bit'' at
or clock he is ready for rest recreation. But
he should not neglect his union meetings. There is
no getting around that. But is Mr.. Average Union
Man to blame entirely:
1t is not going too far to say that many of our
unions are in rut They meet regularly, read the
minutes Of the previous meeting, listen to few APP
pcaIs for ad discuss the labeall Of which usually
takes about three times as long as it should-and
then finally adjournment is taken.
In plain language, the meetings dry and un-
interesting.
In st. Paul the carpenters have adopted rule to
close sharply at 10 o'clock unless there is business
OF pressing emergency These St. Paul carpenters are
coming to realize that meetings must be made more
interesting if the members to be induced to at
tend them, that aimless talks and useless repetition
should be done away with.
The impression which the newly initiated men,
Der takes away with him when he attends his first
meeting Will determine whether not he will come
back next week.
During the early days Of the city central body in
Duluth business was suspended sharply at oclock
and the program committee was called on to 20
ahead with the regular bi-weekly program. At
tendance was high and interest keen.
Less amless talk and unnecessary discussion, and
more attractive programs-which can be instructive
as well-will operate to keep those already on the
job and possibly bring in those whose apathy and
indifference be traced back to an experience we
all have notwithstanding to useless oratory and I'M
necessary discussion of non-essentials

FRANKSON AND SULLIVAN.

While member of the house of representatives
Lieutenant Governor Frankson was violent adyo
cate Of the tonnage tax He was opposed to reappor
tonment and in favor of the Infamous Seven Sena
tors bill. In fact, Mr. Frankson was an exceedingly
well known enemy of Northern Minnesota inter-
ests
We were told, however, during the recent election
that Mr.. Frankson had given Northern Minnesota to
understand that frankson, representative of Fill
more county, and Frankson, lieutenant governor, ,
would be altogether different individuals
st. Louis county, relying on this, coupled with the
widespread advertising on behalf of Mr. Frankson
candidacy, actually gave that gentleman majority
over the other cOntenders.
Two years ago st. Louis county had three of its
senators on the taxation committee For some rea
son, MIR. Frankson, whose previous record as ton
mage taxer branded him enemy to this section
OF the state took of these senators off the taxa
ton committee Tonnage tax legislation will be an
important issue during the present session, and Mr.
Frank knows that.
st. Louis county had one of its senators on the
committee on Civil Administration two years ago
This IS very important committee so far as this
section Of the state is concerned
But when Lieutenant Governor Frankson named
his committees this year St. Louis county and North
ern Minnesota got no representation at ALL
The Duluth News Tribune for JAM 8 carried a
news story from st. Paul which stated that |ELieu
tenant Governor Frankson and President Pro TEN
Sullivan are working on the senate committees
This was just previous to the time the commit
tees were announced. Senator Sullivan has for
many years been hailed as the friend of Northern
Minnesota. He has another distinction, too. one he
is more justly entitled to bear, namely the chief
advocate of the corporate interests in the Minnesota
legislature. There can be absolutely no questioning
his title to that
Isn't it time Northern Minnesota broke awav
from this group represented by Sullivan and his ik
who are being dscredited by every element who be-
lieve in square deal for the people?
Meanwhile, maybe Lieutenant Governor Frank
son will explain.
