SOSI VI transporting OTe lTOHl Tie
mines to the Lake Superior ports in
the shape of the gross earnings tax
on railroads. In 1918 the freight
rate was one dollar ton and on the
basis of shipments of 44,068,4 19 tons
the total revenue derived from this
source was $2,203,209, an amount
which the state never would have re-
ceived had not these mines been de-
veloped. Adding this to the general
property tax of 81, 064,525, we get a
total of $3,249,734 as the amount the
state general revenue fund obtained
IN 1918 as taxes on the iron ore in
dustry of Minnesota.
Included in the total ore mined
in 1918 was 4,634,671 tons from land
owned by the state of Minnesota and
leased to mining companies. The
royalty on this amount of ore paid to
the state and used for school pur-
poses in Southern Minnesota counties
aggregated $1,158,668.
Another stock argument extern
sively used by the tonnage tax advo-
Gates is that the state has a heritage
in these iron properties, that is, it
has right to share in the value of
the earth's possession found within
its borders, and should enter into pos
session of this heritage through the
form of taxation, that is by taxing
such property more heavily than 9TH
er property.
The state of Minnesota never
owned the land on which most of
these mines have been found! The
land was owned by the u. S. Govern
ment and homesteaded by individuals,
and some are now owned by the orig
Inal homesteaders or sold or leased
by them to milne operators.
Something About Heritages.
Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment that the state has right to
claim heritage in the value of the
earths possessions, why limit it to
st. Louis, Itasca and Grow Wing
counties and to a comparatively small
district in each of these? Are not
the other 83 counties a product of
nature! Did not God make the gran
lie, and sandstone, and clay and the
gravel, and fertile soil in the same
way as he did iron ore? If not, and
there is heritage of the state in one
OF these products which is different
from another, then all our religious
teachings seem about to be set aside
IN order that this tax may prevail.
If st. Louis, Itasca and Grow
Wing counties are to divide with the
state their iron ore, let Stearns coun-
ty divide her granite, Goodhue its
clay, Becker, Beltrami, Hubbard,
Clearwater, Koochiching and others
their pine forests, Hennepin its water
power, and the counties in the Min
UeSnta and Pod p,uar xya1Iax,s end
watersheds their fertile prairiss. If
