SPEECH BY CARL H. SINISTER OF BlWABlK
DELIVERED AT LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES
CONVENTION. BEMlDU JUNE l6. 1920

T., Although the Minnesota Tax COM
mission was especially created to as
sist this industry to figure its Just
tax revenue and although iron ore is
taxed a higher rate than any other
kind of real or personal property, the
proponents OF tonnage tax bill,
which is bill to single out iron ore
from all other forms of property and
to levy upon it, in addition to the ad
valorem tax levied upon all property,
a special or super tax based upon
tonnage production, advocate its
adoption at the next legislature ses-
sion for the following reasons:
1. Because they believe in the
wisdom OF and the right to such q
tax.
2. Because they believe iron ore
does not pay enough of the taxes.
3. Because they believe that iron
ore is heritage and thus belongs to
the whole state and as such should
be taxed before it is sent east, down
the Great Lakes, to the furnaces.
4. Because they reason that to
take away ore diminishes in value
the land from which it comes.
s. Because the primary purposes
OF tonnage tax was to compel the
manufacture of iron and steel in the
state.
At least 1--we important questions
are thus raised which the opponents
challenge as follows:
1. There is no right to such a
tax because in the last thirteen years
the representatives of the people in
legislative assemblage, have with
two exceptions, refused to adopt such
an unfair tax. The two exceptions
resulted in vetoes by former Cover
