MINNESOTA LEGISLATURES.
(Skillings' Mining Review)


The iron mining interests Of Mime
sofa was the only representative of
large corporate investment in the state
that was not on the defensive before
the legislature during the past winter.
The mining interests took the initia-
tive and while it did not get anything
like what it asked for it did get some
thing The mining interests had no
favorS to ask, but made an earnest de-
mand for justice in the matter Of tax
alton. They succeeded in getting the.
compromise per capita tax bill enacted
into law, and there were some other
encouraging results in the shape of de-
feated tax measures which are COM
forting to the mining as well as other
interests
The mining interests sought to have
the occupational and royalty tax rates
reduced by go but without success.
Nevertheless, on the whole, the results
have been encouraging. The Interim
Tax Commission has been continued
for another two years. A grudging
recognition has been made by the leg
iSlature that the mining industry Is
bearing a great burden, and by the
time the body assemblies once more,
two years hence, 1t may have recog-
nized the fact that the treatment Of
the mining industry is a state scandal,
and meet the issue squarely, and do
something about 1t worth while
The legislature defeated a bill to
establish state income tax, and de-
clined to act on the proposed division
Of st. Louis county A resolution was
introduced, but was indefinitely post
poned. requiring the attorney general
Of Minnesota to bring suit against the
mining companies to collect penalties
which grew out of suits to test the
constitutionality Of the occupational
and ROYALTY tax laws. The Tax Com
mission abated part Of the penalties,
which accumulated during the litiga-
ton. It was clearly set forth that the
Tax Commission and the state has
made an excellent settlement with the
mining companies, as the courts al
ready had held in the Butler case that
the penalties could not be enforced
With the Interim CommisSit func-
ti2ning for another two years, and
wider understanding Of the harsh con-
Duct of the state toward the mining
industry. there is hope Of a real awak-
ening of the Minnesota state con-
science

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Duluth Adyertiser.)

Perhaps the feeling of the Range
people towards Duluth has never been
any too cordial. The people up that
way, it seems, have always considered
this city as little too cocky and as
deriving considerable unmerited bene-
fits from existing conditions
Instead Of trying to do something to
eliminate this feeling, it now Is appar-
ent that Duluth has put the wrong
foot forward again and caused new
flsreup on the Range. Senator Adams
fathering Of the per capita tax limita-
ton law and the chamber Of COM
merce's Endorsement Of that action,
has aroused in the people OF the sec
ton affected such bitterness against
the City of Duluth as has never been
euualled there before.
No matter what merit there may be
in that legislation If any, 1t certainly
was serious error on the part of this
city to sponsor 1t. There was abSolu-
telv no necessity for Duluth to take
any responsibility for this make-shift
measure. To thus unnecessarily an
tagonize an important section of the
county can only mean one Of two
things. Either the So-called leaders of
the chamber of commerce are so woe
fully lacking in judgment that they
don't know any better or they are so
utterly Indifferent to the people Of the
rest Of the county they don't care
what happens to them.
The Advertiser is in receipt of a let
ter from a prominent citizen of Hib-
bling which strikingly reveals the feel
ing Of the people there towards Du-
luth and its chamber of commerce.
We quote part Of It:
II have read with some considerable
interest your editorial on the COM
promise effected by the iron range

les 1t is certainly different from the
ordinary run of editorials we read in
the newspapers, and I am quite GER

in the matter

especially glad to know that all the
people Of Duluth do not take the atti-
tude shown by the chamber of COM

opinion that the chamber Of commerce

ON THIS OCCASION
Continued from page one)


at the last session, will do more for
the conservation of fish than any act
now on the books. The section re-
ferred to is the removal of the size
limit. 1t has been well known fact
that about two-thirds of the under
sized fish caught and thrown back in
to the water according to the provi-
sions of the law, were injured or kill
ed in the process. Also, it was a gen.
raj policy to cook and eat the under
sized ones at the fishing grounds Gun
less there was game warden near
and save the larger ones for bringing
home.
Under the new act only eight pike
will be allowed each fisherman per
day, regardless of size. This is enough
surely for eating purposes per person
and the necessity for catching so or
go in day to get a few large ones
win be removed. If you happen to get
eight small wall-eyed pike after this
and you are looking for big ones, you
will be out of luck and will be COM
PEELED to catch Northern pike instead,
Anyway, we believe that the size limit
removal will conserve our finest of
game fish.

DULUTH AND THE RANGE.
Duluth Labor Worldly


The range will not get county divi-
si"n this year, but unless the interests
which presume to speak for Duluth
soon change their attitude toward the
north country, st. Louis county will
some day be cut in twain. The Cham
Der Of Commerce, which has the habit
of taking snap Judgment on questions
affecting the county as 1t does on labor
matters, is responsible for the present
eStranged relationship between Du-
luth and the range country The re-
suit of the last two municipal elections
has given sufficient proof that the
chamber does not represent the senti-
ment Of the majority of Duluthians.
The people Of Duluth are all right.
They are friendly to the ranges They
have no desire to hamstring their
municipalities. They recognize that
Duluth needs the ranges, more in fact
than the ranges need Duluth. Both
are bound by common ties. Selfish in
terestS and unthinking individuals
may do things that tend to sever those
ties, and when they do, both Duluth
and the ranges suffer. would like to
see the Duluth mayor and commits
Sioners push aside the Chamber Of
Commerce, and start movement here
to commune with the officials of the
range towns, so that each may under
stand better one anther's problems.
This habit Of holding aloof from one
another between sessions of the legis-
lature and meeting every two years
at the state capitol as enemies is UNI
fortunate. In the end 1t will not only
mean county division but the Severing
of MANY social and commercial rela-
tionships. That must not happen.
Now tat the 1929 session of the leg
islature is over it is good time to
make peace with the people of the
range communities Maybe when Du-
luth and the ranges get acquainted
they may not be so far apart after all.
Anyway, a "get-together" will point
the way.
