RANGE ENGINEER, CALLED

Lucious r. Blake. one of the most
familiar figures in railroad circles in
Northeastern Minnesota, died a week
ago last Friday at his home in Two
Harbors, following an illness of sew
eral weeks.
Mr.. Blake was the oldest engineer
in point of service on the D. & I. r.

B. of L. E. Funeral services were
held at Two Harbors, after which the
remains were taken by a special train
to Duluth and shipped to Racine,

is survived by his widow and three

Careful study was given to the

properly to finance the city's activ-

payers more than twice the amount

count Of the fact that other subdi-
visions of government must be given
their share Of the money received as
the result of such increases in the

depending upon revenue based on

blamed for levying higher taxes when
as matter of fact but: a fraction of
the money derived therefrom reverts
to the city.

A resolution was presented by J. X.

ANTI:::UNI0N|STS
HURTING DULUTH
Union Men mpIoyed on Small
Dwellings,; No Big Building
Because Of. ''0pen Shop"

| There is more building going on in
Duluth at this time than was expected
there would be. At Lester Park and in
| the West End the pounding of ham,
mers and the buzzing of saws furnish
sweet music to happy builders. The
jobs are all small dwellings, and the
| workmen on them are. Union men.
| That is one of the reasons why there
| is no break in the builders lockout.
Union men are taking small con-
| tracts, while the big "open shop" fell
! lows are crying about hard times.
Union labor proposes to do it's part in
| meeting the demand for homes. The
owners are not complaining either
about paying Union wages and getting
the best work.
There is no big building going on in
Duluth to speak Of. Charge that up
to L. C. Harris. Ed. Whalen and their
a n i-u Mon organization. What's
wrong with Duluth? There is but one
answer. It is suffering from the "open
shop" epidemic. caused by hate. 1t
is a fearful malady. 1t makes enc
mics out of friends. 1t chills class
blood, It destroys. business and pre-
vents the growth of cities. It discour-
ages investment and cripples indus
try.
If it were not for the hate that the
Citizens Alliance has engendered into
employers and unions there would be
a lot of big building going on in Du-
luth today. Merchants would not be
complaining about the conditions of
trade and fewer contractors would be
facing bankruptcy. Disrupt the Citi-
zens' Alliance and fraternity will be
restored as if by magic. Cooperation
will take the place of disruption and
industry Of strikes and lockouts.
Only the other day union brick
layers were engaged to make some al
terations on an old building: A hole
had been cut in brick wall for win
dow. Along came real estate agent;
he learned that union men were on
the job, and, he ordered the hole
boarded up until the union bricklay-
ers agreed to work on the open shop"
basis.' That spirit never built build
ing or q city. That is what is,wrong
| with Duluth. u;

Assessed to Limit.
Ordinarily tax reformers insist that
it is good policy to assess real prop
erty at its full value and thus keep
the tax rate down. In Minnesota
plated real property can be assessed
at but 40 per cent Of it's true value.
J. A. Scott, the Duluth, assessor, in
most instances has fixed the valua-
ton at the full amount permitted by
law.
On account of the tax rate limit
in the charter it is necessary for the
assessor to increase valuations to
bring more money into the city treas
urer. When this is done the state,
county and schools must receive their
share from such increase. The total
rate levied this year was So mills.
The city rate is about 81 mills. Prop
erty assessed at $1,000 would be
obliged to pay $58 in taxes, of which
$37 goes to the state, county and
schools, and $21 to the city.
If it became necessary for the city
to raise $4,000 more in taxes in any
year to provide for public necessities,
ur :er the present plan the taxpayers
Of Duluth would be forced to pay
into the county treasurer approx
mately 100000. OF this amount
$4,000 would be divided among the
state, county and schools.
If Duluth forces the assessed VAL
! uation Of property above that of other
localities in the state it will compel
the taxpayers of this city to bear
| more than their share for the MAIN
| finance of the state and county gov
ernments.
| Should the per capita plan be
adopted the commissioners will be
able to raise moe money as the city
! increases in population without arbi-
| trarily raising the amount of the as
sessed valuation OF real or personal
property.
The Federated Trades assembly ap-
pointed a committee to make a care
full study of Commissioner Merritt's
plan. That committee reported in
its favor and at the last meeting of
the assembly the charter commission
was petitioned to submit to the peo-
pie proposed amendment to the
| charter. The. petition is as follows:
Better Basis for Levy.
1.-The Federated Trades assembly

sition to amend the charter Of the

working as fast as is expected of union
bricklayers.
How do you stand for that?"
asked the union man of Ed. Ramstad,
the contractor. your non-union men
are not laying one-half the brick that
we can lay.''
II know it," answered Ramstad,
but what can I do about it? I have
to take these men or nothing"
But you cannot stand this loss
alone" said the union bricklayer.
Surely the Citizens Alliance will as
sist you to make it up"
mo, it comes from my own pocket"
said Ramstad.
I'VE understood the Citizens Alli-
ance would make up all losses suf-
fered by contractors during this
strike," commented the union man,
but Ramstad would not admit it.
FRANK Johnson Is a we'll known To-
cal contractor who is getting his fill
OF non-union bricklayers. johnson
had acontract to build school at
Harvey, little town just above No.
peming on the Canadian Northern
railway. He employed non-union
bricklayers. Two union bricklayers
have been working on the building for
several weeks tearing out and
strengthening up brick poorly laid by
the non-union men. That is why
johnson Is sick of the non-union shop.
He is bankrupt now-another busi-
ness corpse chargeable to, L. c.. Harris
and his union-wrecking crowd
1t has developed that two OF the
bricklayers brought here to work on
the public utilities building were
members of the union and worked in
Duluth and on the ranges under as
sumed names. One was a member of
the Milwaukee Bricklayers' union, and
the other of the New York union.
Charges have been preferred against
them by the Duluth union. One of
them has answered to the charge und
the other can not now be located.
They have both been identified. They
