1tasca counties, where there are
large mineral valuations, running up
to a maximum of 1854 per cent in
Lake of the Woods county. The net
deficit in revenue in the state is but
I04 per cent. Current tax delin-
quency runs as high as 1922 per
cent in Lake of the Woods county,
40.71 per cent in Beltrami county
and 32.37 per cent in Koochiching
county. For the remainder of the
state exclusive of the Red River
valley, it is 1898 per cent. From
these figures it is evident that the
burden of taxes lying on cutover
lands which have not been developed
for farming is greater than the
owners have been willing to bear.
Unless this burden is lightened more
and more of this land will become
tax delinquent.
Needs of Land Problem.
The problem of land use in North
ern Minnesota in it's financial bear
ing demands two things; first, the
reductions of the total expenditures
for county,. road and school purposes
which must be raised by taxation of
real estate, second, the establish
ment upon cutover lands of forest
crop which will ultimately produce
forest values and revenue from
which to meet the tax burden. I'm
less both of these measures are sue
cessful, taxes will incresae upon all
lands possessing real values, by the
simple process of delinquency on
remaining lands. The results will
be constantly greater burden of
taxation upon farmers city pro-
perty, owners of summer homes,
and those who are holding the lands
for. minerals.
The development of great areas
in Northern Minnesota for the pro-
duction of forest crops is the only
solution of this problem of taxation.
In this development the matter of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-09-02

lands must pay an increasingly i'm
portant part. The extent to which
private owners can be induced to
hold these lands will be determined
to considerable degree by the
ability of the counties to so regu-
late their public expenditures that
they will be enabled to adjust the
tax burden on these owners to
point which is justified by the value
of the land for growing timber.

"MASTER CRIMINALS"

veteran sheriff who has known many thousands
of criminals says of them
81 am convinced that all crooks towards at
heart. And there is such thing a smart crook.
These so-caed master mind criminals exist only in
the story books. man with brains knows it doesn't
pay to commit crimes.
my experience shows that gun bravery is the only
kind ever displayed by crooks. Take their weapons
away, and they are tame indeed
Most practical men who have been able to observe
closely the criminal population filing through jails
and courts seem to hold about the same view. The
clever, mastery criminal is creature of literary i'm
aginaton. When do seem to see such criminals at
long intervals functioning in real life and coming into
court with a sort Of gamor about them when they are
brought to bay, the gamor is still largely terary-a
product of publicity Enterprsing reporters, vying
with noveists and dramasts make such characters
interesting possible, do their best with the ma
terial they have. Yet between the lines can usually
be read the fact that the celebrated prisoner is after
ALL pretty shallow, and seems brilliant only in COM
parison with his more stupid brethren.
That "gun bravery the sheriff speaks OF is real
thing. These weaklings and social misfs are brave
only when they have deadly weapon in their hands,
and their victims have not Here is fact which lends
still force to the widespread demand for the dis
armament of criminals, which can be accomplished
only by dsarmng all who have no legitimate use for
weapons
