THE DUES OF cUTovER LAND
Duluth Herald, June 23.,

Eight million acres ofscutoverl land
will be lying around loose when the
farms have taken up all they can use
for the next fifty or sixty years and
the national forest has covered as
much as it is likely to gather in.
What shall be done with it?
The state will acquire some of 1t,
perhaps a lot of it. 1t mighC be
good business for the state to take
over the whole area that is not want
ed for other purposes, though it will
require an expenditure of a million
dollars year for twenty years be-
fore earnings began to come III, and
another thirty years after that be-
fore they furnished steady income.
That expenditure three cents an
acre for fire protection and a mini
mum of ten cents an acre for schools
and roads and other skeleton govern
ment,is money someone must furnish
unless the development. of the coun-
try is squelched by burden the set
tier cannot stand.
1t might be gco1 business for the
state to take it all Il would be
mighty poor business for the state
take it ell. 1t woulc be mighty poor
business for the state to take. the
land and shirk the obligation that is
attached to it.
Well, the state won't take it all
perhaps not the larger part or it
And the rest-what shall be done
with it?
Fire protection it must have, with
out fire protection it has not the
ghost of chance of bringing in it,
new forest crop. The owner must
expect to pay for that if he expects
to get back his stake. And further.
fore the land is burdened with costs
for schools and roads amounting &C
ten cents an acre at least. The state
expects the owner to pay that or for.

it for Ely and not to Ely.
Ely made just such a mistake four

notwithstanding the widespread idea
that anybody who is deriving royal.
ties from iron mines is presumed to
be rich. There are a good many
widows and some orphans who are
dependent upon such royalties, and
some of them, it is reliably stated,
are unable to meet the accumulated
taxes and to pay them regularly in
future In such cases the royalties
were just sufficient to support the
owners of such fees. Furthermore,
in addition to some such instances
the royalties will soon cease because
of the near exhaustion of the mines
upon whose production the royalties
are paid.-Skillings Mining Review

escape its share.
If on the other hand, it is taxed
for more than it will carry, it ceases
to pay any tax. Worse than that. it
is likely to lapse into no-man's land,
without fire protection, burned over
and ruined, losing not only it's for
est growth but its soil fertility.
Whether in private ownership or
whether owned by the state, this lane
is charged with the cost of fire pro-
testion and of the attenuated govera-
ment of wooded country.
This is Minnesota's problem. 1t
can't be- ignored. What is to be
done with the cutlover country?
