STEEL TRUST
IN TAX FIGHT
MINNESOTA HOUSE TURN DOWN
POPULAR LEGISLATION BY
CLOSE VOTE

st. Paul. Defeat Of .he now fa..
NOUS efforts, to secure a tc,r.-%A 1Aass
on iron ore constitutes the
ing event in the Minnesota Nsrs1ature
to date. The final vote in the house
on the bill prepared by Representative
Welch Of Mcleod county, a Nonpar-
tisan League man, was 81 for to 81
against a vote Of 66 being necessary
to pass.
The bill means loss to the state
Of about 81, 100000 year for the next
two years and the saving Of as much
to the great steel trust, which has mo-
nopolized the famous iron mines of
Minnesota.
The levying Of tonnage tax has
long been great issue in Minnesota.
There has been fight for it in every
legislature since 1907, with the excep-
tion Of 1915, and on several occasions
the people Of the state have had vic
tory practically within their, grasp.
Under present tax methods the farm
ers of the state alone pay about two
and one-haf times as much taxes as
the iron ore interests and yet the net
profits from Minnesota ore amount to
several times the profits Of all the
farmers Of the state together.
At the beginning of the session 88
Of the 131 members Of the house were
pledged to the tonnage tax and "A Of
the 81 senator's. The victory Of the
trust was made possible by the switch
ing of "a house members, who have
thus betrayed their constituents. The
list Of turncoats includes both repre-
sentatives Of rural districts and some
supposed labor men from the cities.
All of the Nonpartisan league men,
however, stood valiantlx by their pre-
election pledges.
The tonnage tax issue has long been
the acid test between reactionaries
and progressives in Minnesota and the
failure Of old party politicians to
keep their pledges in this regard will
add great strength to the Nonpartisan
league campaign in 1920.
The major interest in the present
legislative session in fact, has been
the feverish efforts of the old guard
to keep the Nonpartisan league from
getting any credit for legislation to
head off the League ia 1920. But the
failure Of the legislature to give the
people what they want is adding to
the prestige Of the farmer organi-
zation.
The League was born in North Da-
kota after the 1915 legislature there
had broken its pledges and grossly in
suited the farmers. The attitude of
the present Minnesota legislature will
probably produce a corresponding eff
feet. The patience Of the people with
crooked politics is at an end.

were unnecessary. The senator
