While no action has been taken by
the state legislature in regard to
taxation on automobiles, the special
committee, on taxation has prepared
4a schedule showing the estimated
number. Of cars that are subject to
taxation.
In the tentative schedule there are
three classes of cars, those that will
pay. the SIP minimum, those that will
pay the SIS minimum and those that
will be taxed the straight 1.8 per
cent of the purchase price, because

ceeds the minimum.
, 1t is estimated that there is a to-
tai Of 17,40O cars in the state in the
$12, SIS and $18 classes. OF these
cars 41,40o will be junked or re-
moved from the state, leaving for
taxation total of $4,000 cars.
The total revenue from the taxa
tion of these cars is estimated at
The cars are listed at full value
for the first two years with depre-
citation of Is per cent at the end of

Sixty thousand farmers, through

These committees are to be made up
of farmers Their task is to be the
Investigation of doubtful promotion
schemes in which their neighbors are
asked to invest their money. Many
county farm bureaus already have
organized such committees. The
state federation has called on every
county bureau that has not yet
formed such a committee, to do SO
at once, and to urge all it's members
to refuse TO consider any proposal

FARM LOAN ACT HELD; ~ 4,
TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL

: Constitutionality of the Federal
Farm Loan Act was upheld in a
sweeping decision handed down by
the U. S. Supreme Court February
28th. This decision united the hands
of the Federal Land Banks who have
on hand approved applications for
approximately $'5,00O,00o Of loans
Presidents of the IL federal land
banks have been in session for the
past few days with the members of
the Farm Loan Board. They are pre-
pairing to. issue large quantities Of
farm bonds So that the system may
again function. Farmers desiring to
obtain money from this source should
remember. that it will be more than
a month before the banks will be in
position to lend money.
The decision follows litigation
pending since November, 1919. The
case, known as Charles w. Smith
versus the Kansas City Title & Trust
Company, involved the redemption
feature of the bonds. 1t reached the
Supreme Court on January, 1920. In
the spring Of last year the case was
ordered to be reargued. While these
preliminaries were being had the
market on farm loan bonds declined
considerably, due to the uncertainty
of the tax-exemption feature. The
Federal Farm Loan Board and the
land banks virtually closed down.
The entire SYSTEM was paralyzed.

PERHAPS

Lake. County Chronicle: Perhaps,
after all, the people need not be so
concerned over the outcome of the
controversy over the abandonment
of the cAlger line. When the Duluth
& Iron Range road was given a char
ter to build and operate it's ine, it
was also given its pick of thousands
Of acres of the choicest of pine lands
in Lake county as a grant to induce it
tosbuild the line The. value of these.
lands and timber would have built
several Alger- Smith lines, and mas
much as there is still a vast amount
of timber to be transported, and, ac-
cording to George St. Clair,one of the
best authorities on mining in the
country also untold deposits of iron
in Lake and Cook counties, it may
be possible that the D. & I. R. may
play the big brother to Lake county
and assist in its development by tax
ing over the line and operating it,
even though there is no immediate
profit in doing so.
1t would be grand indeed to have
a real railroad take it over and give
real service, such as the patrons of
the Iron Range enjoy.
It is not probable but not alto
gether impossible that such thing
might come to pass in the event
that the present owners are pre-
vented from taking up their rails.
