SHOULD BE cREMATED.

Possibly even then. that would not
help, but it might be worth trying.
There is sounder reasons for placing
special tax on farm acres than on
iron ore. The acres go on producing
from year to year indefinitely, and
increasing in value, but there is but
one crop of iron ore per acre, and it
is not as easily located as cultiva-
table acres.
1t is not right that every two years
the mining men of Northern Min
nesota have to get out and spend lot
of time and go to much incidental
expense to convince each incoming
Legislature Of the injustice and folly
of running special tax blazers on
the iron ore industry of the state.
We are proud that Minnesota re-
jected this proposed oppressive legis-
lation. It would have been a re-
proach to the state to have enacted
it into law.
The problem of taxing the mineral
wealth of Minnesota first came before
the legislature in 1881 when, as Chap
ter Sd of the statutes, law was en-
acted providing for a tax of one cent
per ton on all iron ore, coal and cop
per ore found in the state. It was
not supposed there would be much of
either of these minerals. Explora-
ton was under way, however, and it
was the purpose Of the state to permit
all exploration and investigation to
be done as economically as possible
in order that the resources of the
state should be developed by thor
ough and unhampered investigation.
Iron ore was first mined on the
Vermilion range in 1884. It is in
teresting to know that the discovery
of paying quantities of merchantable
iron was due, not to exploration for
iron or copper or coal, but to pros
pecting for gold. Indians knew of
the existence of iron ore in the Lake
Vermilion district as far back as
1863. At least it is related that
some Indians brought specimens of

BOATS FOR FOREST SERVICE.

Three motor launches, one Is feet
and two 10 feet long, have recently
been purchased by. the Forest Ser
vice. They will be placed on Iron,
LaCroix and Crooked Lakes. The
large ones will be used by Ranger
Everett, in addition to the 16-foot
boat already in his custody, and the
smaller one will go to Ranger Hand
berg on Lake LaCroix.
These boats will greatly aid in the
fire protection and the general ad-
ministration of the Superior Forest,
and several more could be used to
good advantage. In connection with
such improvements on the Forest, it
is confidently hoped that before a
great while hydro-aeroplanes will
also be used in patrol work.
