WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW

From the records of the State Board Of Equal
ization of the Elm Orlu Mining company, a w. A.
Clark property:
In 1922 this mine produced 104, 167 tons of ore.
and the W. A. Clark smelter charged $40, SOS. 76
for reduction, or about s6.S2 per ton, and the mine
had no "Net proceeds"
In 1923 this mine produced 226, SIS tons of ore
and the w. A. Clark smelter charged 81. 269. 4S7. 35
for reduction. or about $1,000 per ton, and the mine
had $538, 1882 NET proceeds"
and the W. A. Clark smelter charged 81, COS, SIS. so
for reduction, or about 1884 per ton and the mine
had no Net proceeds"
If smelling charges in 1923, the only year since
1918 that this mine has had any met Proceeds to
tax had been s6.s per ton instead Of $1,000 per
ton, this property would have paid on an additional
net proceeds of 1923
Let us have a gross production tax that can be
computed by tax officials, rather than a met
proceeds" tax under which a mine only pays on
what the officers determine and as Mr.. Hartman
says. "A corporation which has within itself all
the knowledge as to the transaction of its business
will not probably find much met"
WHAT COMES coEs OUT
Figures have been compiled, row upon row. to
show how much money has been received into the
general fund in the past four years. Records of

counties paid in.
The items Of $3.50. 600 for salaries of district
judges and $4,000 as part salaries of county attor-
neyS which the state paid to counties is not in

The state treasury acts as a sort of cIearino
house, collecting the money and returning the
greater portion to the counties. Keep this in mind
when discussing where the money goes.

The fight to adopt the iron tonnage tax in Min
nesota was historic. 1t was defeated in several SEES
sions of the legislature. Prairie county legislators
and newspapers favored it; the big city papers
fought it and predicted that if it passed the great
steel company would abandon Minnesota.
Finally it passed. What happened?
Nothing. The steel company is expanding and is
now satisfied with the tax.
What has it yielded to the schools of Minnesota?

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

Some recent statistics show that
big metropolitan newspapers are de-
voting as high as 31.6 percent of
their news space to crime.
Important industrial and world
news about progress and development
is crowded out with sensational mat
ter that tends to develop more crime.
In a southern Illinois town the
other day the merchants met and
asked the local paper to print less
about crime and give more construc-
tive news.
This criticism is not applicable to
the country weeklies and small city
dailies that reach about 60 percent
of the people.
To gain circulation and make a
little more money by degradation of
the reading matter that goes into the
home is a crime in itself against the
purity Of the thought in the house
hold circle.
