TONNAGE BILLS PRESENTED

St. Paul Sharp divisions among the
advocates of a tonnage tax on iron ore
were brought out this week, when
the committee on taxes OF the House
of Representatives. held its first pub
lie hearing.
Representatives c. NJ. BcndiXen, A.
G. WEIGH. Harry c. TrOWbridge and
Charles II. Warner appeared to ex-
plain their respective bills. The four
plans follow:
Bendixen bill-Provides a tax Of
per cent on net profits, such tax to be
in lieu of all other state taxes.
WEIGH bill for tax OF
10 per cent on net profits, such tax to
be in addition to all other state taxes.
Warner bill-Provides for submits
sion to people of a constitutional
amendment authorizing a tonnage tax
and providing that one-half of rev.
enues from such a tax go into min
eral land trust fund and one-half into
the general revenue fund.
Trowbridge bill-Provides for a
state tax OF per cent on the net val
ne, not only of iron ore, but of gran
tie. limestone, sandstone, gravel and
clay, peat and mari. His bill provides
that net cost of production shall be
deducted and tax levied on the bal
ance.
Mr. Bendixen, in explaining the bill,
said that he expected the revenue to
amount to S5,000,00O per year. He said
that he proposed introducing a bill
calling for a constitutional amendment
providing that 25 per cent of the ton
mage tax revenues go into permanent
trust fund.
Mr. Welch said that he would not
have introduced a bill if fair tonnage
tax measure had been proposed. He
said that the features of the Bendixen
bill making the tax in lieu of state
taxes had spoiled it. Mr.. WEIGH also
attacked the tax commission, saying
that the members are now on the
fence, where they were for a tonnage
tax before.
Mr. Bendixen said that the lieu tax
was proposed in order to eliminate any
question as to the constitutionality of
the bill
Representative Charles II. Warmers
bill is expected to have an important
bearing upon the course of the whole
tonnage tax fight in the present legis-
lative session.

The committee followed this action
by directing subcommittee to draft

ernor and who will have the power to
be appointed by the governor and who
will have the power to appoint two
assistants.
Sentiment in the senate is said to
lean Strongly to a three man commits
sion, but Senator p. II. McCarry, chair
man of the senate committee, wants
seven commissioners to represent the
various sections of the state. He
would have one from northwestern Min
nesota one from the northeastern
part of the state. two from southern
Minnesota, one from the western coun-
ties, and two from the twin cities.

MOTOR BUSLINE
NOW TO MIDDLETOWN

Having discontinued its service
between this city and Delaware City,
the Delaware Rapid Transit Com
pany has started a new route be-
tween this city, Middletown and
Odessa by way of st. Georges.
Denial was made last night by S.
S. White and r. W. Ector, officials
OF the company, that the service to
Delaware City was discontinued be-
cause of a new license tax which
the Delaware City Council proposes
to levy on motor buses.
I'm fact" said Mr.. White, 1--WE
were in favor of the proposed tax
and believed 1t only fair that we
should pay for the privilege of using
the streets in Delaware City. The
reason we discontinued the Della
ware City service is that the busi-
ness did not warrant its contin-
uance." I'VE merely tried it out to
see if it would pay" he added, but
it didn't. Road conditions oves our
new route are excellent and the
people are showing their apprecia-
ton of our service by giving us
their patronage"
The company is operating two large
buses and is expecting two more
soon. They are of the most up-to-
date type and handled by skilful
drivers.

large quantity of grain. potatoes and
about 500 bushels of corn were
burned. The loss may reach $4,000,

tell at this time.
When it was feared that some of
the other buildings would become
ignited a call was made for the
local fire company. A record run
was made from here to Selbyville,
but by the time they had reached
the scene the building was a heap
of ruins. Members of the local fire
