Sc. We recommend a state income
tax if the money derived therefrom
is prorated back to the schools.
''7. We recommend raise in the
occupational iron ore tax from SO to
1919, a raise in the gross earnings
tax of the bus lines; raise in the
gross earnings tax of the railroad
companies, telephone companies, and

atoms subject to investigation by a

The committee consisting of W.
Abrahamson, Mrs. Jennie Thieman, A.
Nj. Price, Chris. Frederiksen, and E.
B. Greenwald all signed the report.
There was much oratory and dis
cussion on the various points submit
ted by the committee and at times it
was necessary for the chairman to
rap heavily for order.
Main Committee Selected.
The first point caused the most con-
fusing situation as various methods
of organization were submitted, but
were discarded as being impossible OF
too slow. The final solution for the
situation was a motion to the effect
that the chairman appoint an organi-
cation committee of five members and
that Geo. Empey and Chris. Frederik.

This was carried and the other

cent reduction in the price of the
Minnesota line of farm machinery.
Commissioner Stepan was again
given an opportunity to answer some
questions that had been asked earlier
in the day.
Discuss Income Tax.
Opinions as to the merits of the
state income tax were exchanged by
E. j. Prochaska of Pine City, and
George Empey of Hinckley, with in
cidental questions by the audience.
Relative to point No. 2 submitted
by the ways and means committee,
the resolution referred to therein is
as follows:
Whereas, we have already asked
our county commissioners to lower all
salaries and wages and as we don't
know to what extent that has been
done, but it seems to indicate that
in most cases it can't be done on ac-
count of salaries or wages fixed by
laws.
$50 be it hereby resolved, that we
have no laws that can compel person
to take $4,000 in salary if he doesn't
want more than $4,000 and if there is
a person that not willingly will help
either to carry or lessen the burden,
he sure should get off the payroll. We
mean to have all salaries or wages
lowered from the engineer to the jani-
tor. That means also on roadwork
of any kind. Let us help each other
to save Pine county from going to de-
structiOn.
| The resolution was signed by Off
GERS of the Cloverdale Farmers Co
operative Creamery association con-
sisting of Alva Gay. president; Mag
nus Christensen, secretary; and John
Christensen, treasurer.
Future action for definite results
is now in the hands of the permanent
committee.

mittee met in an adjoining room and
later in the day reported the follow
ing plan: That the basis of organi-
cation as outlined in Chris. Frederik-
sens original plan be adopted, but
that the committee be appointed in
stead of elected at this meeting. The
committee had appointed five men
one from each commissioner district,
and these five in turn selected four
more at random to constitute a main
committee of nine members and that
the committee in turn be divided into
three subcommittee of three mem
bers each. In the final analysis the
main committee consists of w. G..
Ausmus, Pokegama; Geo. G. Wallick,
Barry; E. B. Greenwald, Finlayson;
Nels L. Lindh, Bruno; Richard Down
ing, RoyaltOn; Eskel Anderson, Birch
Creek; John Connaker, Pine City
(twp); r. A. Nation, Arna; and Hollis
Ladd, Pine Lake. And the chairmen
of the three subcommittee were as
follows: E. B. Greenwald, school dis
trict affairs; Eskel Anderson, town.
ship, village and county matters; and
Geo. G.. Wallick, legislative matters.
w. G. Ausmus was selected as chair
man of the main committee and Geo.
G. Wallick secretary, and the commit
tee will meet at the Madison hotel in
Sandstone on Friday, the 18th at II
a. m. to discuss future procedure.
Previous to the report from the or
ganization committees report the var
ious points submitted by the ways and
means committee had been gone over,
and after due consideration and dis
cussion, point by point was unani-
mously adopted, and it is these points
that the permanent organization COM
mittee will take up at their meeting
Friday and endeavor to carry out.
There was yet little time for dis
cussion of other matters of interest
which brought out the adoption of a
motion that the meeting go on record

"a reasonable amount of support from

such as home economics work, gar

Likewise, such support would make

TAX REDUCTION
TALKED AT MEET
Continued from Page 81

AS, in the distribution of $10,O00,0O0
of such tax, if applied to reduc-
ton of the state levy would reduce
this by about mills, which in Pine
county on a taxpaying valuation OF
about SS,000,000 would amount to but
$4,000; while if distributed to the
schools of the state on the basis of
pupils entitled to .apportionment would
yield $40 per pupil or to Pine county
with some 5000 pupils the sum of
100000 each year.
And Whereas; We believe the tax
payers of Pine county are entitled to
all the tax relief possible and that an
additional 100000 received each year
throughout the future with possible
increases for this purpose is we'll
worth making fight for;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That we
recommend that our representatives
in the legislature work for the sub
mission of a constitutional amend
ment for an income tax that provides
for and makes certain in the text of
the amendment itself such distribu-
tion as above outlined and that it be
not left to the power of any future
Legislature to make distribution less
beneficial to the taxpayers of Pine
county; and that copy of this reso-
luton be sent to our Representative
and Senator.
1t was cited by Mr.. Empey that the
present bill introduced in our legis-
lature was not specific in the distri-
button of the funds and that was the
principal reason for his resolution
which in it's last paragraph covers
that part.
Ways and Means Committee.
1t was moved, seconded and carried
that the chair appoint a ways and
means committee of members who
should meet at once and formulate
a plan of procedure for the day and
have same ready after the lunch hour.
Chairman Petersen appointed the fol-
lowing: w. Abrahamson, Cloverdale,
chairman; Chris. Frederiksen, Par
fridge; E. B. Greenwald, Finlayson;
Mrs. Alex Thieman, Pine City; and
A. M. Price, Dell Grove.
1t was thought that the committee
would have good idea of what was
wanted from the various expressions
made during the morning session. O..
B. Steen of Hinckley, and several
others had also spoken during the
morning hour At twelve-thirty o'clock
the meeting was adjourned for one
hour.
The afternoon meeting was called
to order at lao, and as the ways and
means committee were not yet ready
to report, Mr.. Empey was given the
floor and he introduced the following
resolution and moved it's adoption:
Supplemental School Aid Resolutions.
Whereas; 1t was the intent of the
law providing for supplemental school
aid" to better equalize the school tax
over the state by providing that in
each school district a 20 mill tax
should supply a fund equal to $40 for
each pupil in the district and what
ever the proceeds of 20 mill tax
failed of supplying such amount the
