At the City Hall block, cars were
waiting and everybody was trans
ported to Sandy Point where the an

large number of cars and the
crowd, not an accident happened to
mar the day, thanks to Chairman
A. D. Ellefsen, Mayor Murphy and
their assistants.
AS in previous years, the s.ssocia-
tion had prepared one of its re-

direction of Chef Chas. Quigley and
the picnic committee. In addition
coffee, cream and sugar was served
to all. The picnicers had provided
themselves with lunch baskets and
the association offerings were in
addition to lie private lunches.
Art Rocker, an expert in the pre-
paration of coffee had been sent by
Barrett Bros. of Virginia to make
the coffee, using their NJ. J. B.

The thirteenth annual reunion of

The weather was all that could
be desired although heavy rains in
the western Mesaba range towns and
Duluth early in the morning kept
many from attending. The day
opened with a reception for the old

ANOTHER TAX IS
STUCK ON MINES
STATE SUPREME COURT DE-
CIDES THAT The MINING
COMPANIES AND NOT THE
FEE OWNERS MUST PAY THE
ROYALTY TAX.

As was predicted during the time
the legislature was monkeying with
the Royalty lax on iron ore, the
state supreme court has decided
that the mining companies operat-
ing on leased lands, must pay the
tax.
The bill was passed for the pur-
pose of getting something out of the
fee owners in the line of taxes for
the large amount yearly paid them
in royalties by the mining COM
panies.
Millions of dollars in royalties
are involved in the case which was
brought by Belle L. Marble, owner
of ore land, against the Oliver Iron
Mining company, which mines the
property, together with other cases
which might be ruled on by the
Judgment. Under provisions of the
decision, the Oliver Co. must pay
the royalty tax for the plaintiff in
the action.
Immediate rulings in three other
cases brought on the same grounds
were made by the high court which
held for the Mississippi Land COM
pany against the International Har-
vester company, George Fletcher
against the Lorain Iron Mining
company and James II. Finn against
the Minnesota Iron company.
Under a covenant in the lease
made by the Oliver company in
1905, to run for so years, the min
ing firm contracted to pay "all taxes
and assessments, ordinary and extra
ordinary, general and specific, upon
the demised land"
Judge Kenny's ruling was made
on the basis that the intention of
the state legislature in passing the
royalty tax in 1928 was to tax
owners of land and the intention of
the legislature should be carried
out in spite of special provisions in
the lease.
The high court, however, holds
that the lessee's agreement obligates
him to pay the tax in despite the
intention of the legislature.
Millions of dollars are affected
by the ruling, many similar leases
having been made during the last
quarter of a century.
Lands in volved nj the lease are
located in Itasca county. The lessee
was given the option to terminate
the lease at any time upon giving
notice for a certain period. Royalty
stipulated was 25c per ton of mar
ketaDle ore mined with a provision
for a minimum yearly royalty.

that it was unnecessary to go out

accordion player was encored con-
tinuously and only his inability to

s704,000 PAID
| STATE BY MINES

Royalties from iron ore mining
operations on state lands during
April, May and June will enrich the
state treasury $7O4,000, Ray P.
Chase, state auditor announced
Tuesday.
Income for the quarter is slightly
less than the largest quarterly in
come in the history of mining on
state lands. The high point was
reached in 1926 but Mr.. Chase pre-
dicted that July, August and Sep
TENDER operations may beat all
records.
Total royalty income to the state
in 1926 from state owned mines was
$2,515,00, Mr.. Chase said. In addi-
ton to this, the annual rentals paid
on leases that did not forward ore
amounted to a considerable sum.
This income comes from lands set
aside early in the states history for
school, university, swamp and other
trust funds and is exclusive of the
large sums paid the state under the
occupational and royalty tax laws.
With payment of the royalties
they are consigned to the various
funds to which they belong and are
at once set to work drawing inter-
est. They are invested in govern
ment and municipal bonds-the type
of investment being limited by
statute.
Operations on state lands run at
about the same rate as year ago.
Because of the shipping season at the
Head of the Lakes opened early this
year the operations were given q
head start over those of 1926.
