treachery and misunderstanding
that go to make up the plot from the

ture of one of the latest and best

BIG PROBLEM
EASILY SOLVED
STATE SHOULD BE ENLIGHT
ENED ON THE TONNAGE
TAX BUGABOO.

The people of Northern Minneso-
ia, and especially, those of the north.
eastern portion, have a duty to per-
form in behalf of the entire state
that should be attended to forth.
with. It is duty that has been neg
lected for many years, and the neg
lect is not to our credit. The ton
mage tax bugaboo should be dis
posed of and eliminated forever from
state politics. There is but one way
to do this; by acquainting the voters
of the southern half of the state with
the facts and, the inevitable disas-
trous consequences of legislation
such as has been proposed at every
session of the legislature for these
many years past. The demand for
double tax on iron ore is honestly
advocated by a large number of
people who are victims of misrepre-
sentation as result of that brand of
politics employed by political dema-
gogues. The false statement is adj
vanced representing that Northeast
ern Minnesota consists only of hills,
cut-over lands that will remain for
ever useless, holes in the ground
made by mine operators and a second
grow III of Svalueless timber. AS
against this discouraging picture it
is pointed out that at the present
time there is vast deposit of iron
ore in this section which is being rap
idly removed from the state. This
ore represents great wealth, and it
should be heavily taxed for the ben
eft of the whole people, while tax
ing is good. When it is all dug up
and shipped away, these demagogues
tell the people, there will be nothing
left but non-taxable holes in the
ground and wilderness of trackless
waste. If this were the condition,
or anywhere near approaching the
facts of the condition, we might all
join in the. selfish enterprise of ex-
ploitation. But the facts belle ev-
cry argument that is put forth ia
voring tonnage tax on iron ore.
First of all the assumption that any
considerable portion of the earth's
surface in this region is destroyed
by mining operations is foolishly
false. The acreage required for
mining is an infnitesmal fraction of
the millions of acres in Northern
Minnesota, today recognized as the

FIXING FOR A
LOT OF TROUBl Z
THOSE DoDcING PAYMENT OF
WAR TAXES COLLECTED.

Joseph Shartel, deputy collector
of internal revenue with headCuart-
ers in Duluth was in the city sew
eral days this week checking up local
institutions. Mr.. Shartel reports
Ely merchants and others very lax in
their methods of collections and ac-
counting in the tax matter and says
that something more in keeping with
the laws will have to be, inaugurated.
Trouble will surely follow in case
there is no change. The claim is
made that many who are collecting
the taxes fail to report or pay them
in to the government. These people
are subject to arrest for "going
south" with government funds as
each and every man or institution
collecting war taxes is considered an
agent of the U. S. in the collection.
AS an excuse, ~ did not know" is
offered. This is no excuse as every
one is supposed to know and act ac-
cordingly. The papers have been
full of the provisions for the past
year or more and the laws have been
published in every language.
A collector will be here in a few
days who will check up every bust
ness in town subject to the tax.
That some will be hard hit remains
foregone conclusion. Mr.. Shartel
can be reached in, Duluth at any
time and reports with payments can
be made to him.
