MINNESOTA BILL ID TAX ORE KILLED BY
 VETO OF GOVERNOR
Executive Declares No Good Reason Exists for Tonnage Tax Singling Out Ore
 Industry for Taxation

NO bill presented in the preesnt session of the state legislature has created more furore and aroused greater opposition in the Birmingham district than the new revenue bill, which was passed and signed, however. in spite of all efforts made to defeat it. The most obnoxious feature of the bill. locally at least, was the section imposing a tax of two cents on every ton of coal ard iron taken from the mines of Alabarla
 The business and mining interests and the geenral public of Birmingham and the industrial districts of the state made every effort to lreVent the passage or this bill. It was pointed out that sucn tax is absolutely unjust; that it is wrong to siugle out a single industry and a particular section of the state for spe- cial taxation that such a tax violates the very fundamental idea of taxation, which should effect all and not a few; that 1t would tend to retard rather than to encourage production
 Governor Kilby and his followers made every effort to disprove these statements, maintained that there was nothing unfair or discriminating in the tonnage tax and pointed out that it was not so unheard Of as claimed because a similar measure was before tEe Minnesota legislature And in the face of the most extreme criticism Governor kllby got his bill passed
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-09-24
VETOED BY GOVERNOR

In Minnesota, as clalmed by those sup porting the revenue bil. al tonnage tax similar to the one in this state was pro- posed in the special session of the legis- lature which just closed. In the last regular session the same kind of meas ure had been defeated In the speca. session when the bill came up it was overwhelmingly passed by the same mem bers, though opposed by the governor. And when sent up for his signature 1t was returned vetoed
 In vetoing the tonnage tax Governor Burnquist in a statement in the Mime apolis Journal. said that he had long been convinced that there was no good req sor for singling out one section of the state or one of its interests for special taxa tion. He called atteltIon to the fact that the same members had defea ted a similar bill in it's previous session and said that
 Such a sudden reversal Of opinion on the part of so many shows the advisabil- ity of further deliberation on this i'm : portant subject. When a member of this body during the sessions of 1909 and 1911. made a special study of the proposed taxing of the iron properties on a differ ent basis from other property and at that time came to the conclusion that any at tempt to single out one section of the state or one of it's irterests in such q manner as is now suggested was unjust Since that time I have found no reason for changing my mind in this matter, but upon further study and considera of the justice of the position taken by

QUESTION Of BREAD
ASSUMES WIDE SCOPE

That bakers may put up 1s-ounce
bread ana still MAKE a legitimate
profit was the opinion expressed yes
terday by BnJamin l.. Purcell. STATE
raidy and food commissions. Af.
purcell stated cmphatically that the
positlon he assumed when the bakers
unfolded their plans for standard
lied 1e-ounce loaf was that he would
never consent 10 1t. although ne hao
no means OF preventing 1t.
The food commissioner said that he
did not believe that the people Of the
state would be will>1g to have from
two to four ounces taken from their
]aavss without any reduction in price.
MIR. Purcell was not inclined to &C
cept without question the bakers as
sertion that they would continue to
put IA TO is ounces in the loaf until
the price of fiour increased. but that
they wished to anticipate the in
crease by marking the loaves IL
ouces. The delegation from the
bakers conference made this state
men; 10 Mr.. Purcell.
Tho commissioner produced his
estimates of the cost of production
whoch riffer widely from estimates
published in an afternoon paper
He said that 364 12-ounce loaves
could be baked from on barrel Of
fiour. The -four costs $500. He
added to this $1.25 for seven pounds
Of Sugar, shortening, yeast and other
materials used In baking. With Is
per cent allowed for overhead, the
costs OF manufacturing and distri-
butins. he estimated the cost of turn
ing one barrel OF -four into bread at
$20.e5. The 364 leayes, sold at the
wholesale price Of eight cents, would
total $29.12. leaving net proft OF
1887 Mr. Purcell said that, In his
opinion, the weight could be in
creased to Is ounces and stffl leave
a very fair margin OF proht.
While the state dairy and food
commissioner is not empowered to
dictate what loaves shall weigh. the
city councils and the state legisla-
ture can do so.
The ordinance committee Of the
Richmond. city council has the mat
ter up for consideration ana will de-
eide at its next meeting what the
standardized weight shall be, II the
Ioaves are to be regulated. The state
commissioner can and will require
that all olaves be wrapped and the
accurate weight marked on the pack
age.
