Attorney General Holds Tonnage Tax
Legal In Opinion Handed Down
On Request of Solons.

st. Paula tonnage tax on iron ore
in Minnesota was held to be constitu-
tional in an opinion filed by Attorney
General Clifford l.. Hilton. Mr.. Hill
TONS opinion was sought by the tax
committee of the House which is con-
sidering the several tonnage tax bills
that have been introduced.
In his opinion, Mr.. Hilton says:
81 am of the opinion that the Legis-
lature has the power to impose an oc-
cupation tax by providing for the taxa
tion of those engaged in mining sub
stantially as provided for in the, sub
mitted bills. 1t is not restrained from
so doing by any provision of the state
or federal constitution"
The attorney general, however, holds
the tax should be in addition to all the
present taxes levied.
The opinion was interpreted by sup
porters of tonnage tax legislation as
making practically certain adoption of
a tonnage tax schedule by this session
of the Legislature.
Attorney General Hilton's opinion
given to the house subcommittee holds
as follows:
First-The tonnage tax as an occu-
pational tax is constitutional.
Second-That the bill if passed
should make the tonnage tax surtax,
that is, tax in addition to other
taxes now levied on mining properties
and ore.
Third-The bill should be amended
to provide for a deduction from the
amount of the tonnage tax, the adva-
loren tax levied on ores for the year
in which the tonnage tax is levied
Fourth-The title of the bill should
be amended to correspond to the sug,
gestions in this opinion.
Fifth-The Warner bill, which pro-
vides for constitutional amendment
authorizing the levying of tonnage
tax and also the creation of a perma-
nent trust fund, into which half the
receipts from the tonnage tax are to be
paid, does not violate any provision of
the constitution of the United States.
Such trust fund may be made in
violable, the interest and income to be
used only for the purposes of such
trust fund.

keting recommended for passage, the
Wilkinson bill which provides that the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
the Duluth Board of Trade. and the
st. Paul Livestock Exchange shall be
made public markets and open to mem
bership for cooperative marketing as
sociations
Debate on the bill in committee was
bitter, Representative Asher Howard
of Minneapolis vainly attempting to
have the measure referred to the
house judiciary committee before the
vote was taken on recommendation
Mr.. Howard was supported in his
stand by Representatives Thomas H.
Girling and w. l. Norton.
Mr.. Girling said the committee was
being carried away on wave of pos
sible good Intentions" r. A. Wilkin
son, author of the bill, charged those
favoring retirement to the judiciary
committee with dilatory tactics.
Representative Howard said no bill
could be passed which would deprive
men of property which the state has
invited them to build up. II this bill
is passed we should introduce another
one, writing from our statute books
the law which invites organizations
similar to the Chamber of Commerce
to be formed" he said. "Mr Wilkin'
son started forming this legislation
long before the legislative session be-
gan.
Charges Bill is Being RaiIroaded.
IF you want to railroad this law
through you can do it," he told the
committee.
After the committee had recon-
mended the bill for passage, it in.
structed Chairman Elias Nordgren to
refer the bill to the attorney general
and the judiciary committee for legal
opinions and constitutionality.
By vote Of 40 to Fl the Senate
passed the G. H. Sullivan bill giving
the Railroad and Warehouse commits
sion certain powers to regulate the
routing and service of suburban street
car lines. The bill provides that ap-
peals may be taken from decision OF
local governing bodies to the state
commission The bill contains some
of the principles underlying the
Brooks Coleman bill, now pending in
the Senate.
Take Up Bill on Futures"
The committee then took up H. F.
No. %, which defines gambling con
tracts, and presents dealing in futures
in grain.
Representative Howard said this bill
was one of the most important ever
considered by Minnesota legislature,
and asked that time be set for ex.
tensive consideration. The committee
decided to consider this measure.
