Mining Taxes Six Times

with iron mines. f
Innumerable instances of the rankeSt
kind Of extravaganza have been pointed
out, to no avail. Some of them are
i incomprehensible unless the reason be
assigned to questionable motives Cita-
tion of only few of them would serve
no useful purpose here. Business
methods are said to be extremely lax;
many of the communities pay con-
tractors and other obligations with tax
warrants, in anticipation of taxes
These warrants are discounted Is per
cent at the banks. The consequence
is that contractors and others, 10 get
dollar for dollar, put up their prices
Is per cent-a vicious cycle which would
not be tolerated in business-like COM
munity.
THE plain truth is that the wealth
of the Mesabi range has corrupted the
political morality of the state" said r
G. Allen, president, Lake Superior Iron
Ore Association.
''The taxation of a dollar invested in
mine at double the rate of a dollar
invested in a farm, and ait SO per cent
more than dollar invested in an office
building is political expression of the
| fact that Minnesota is an agricultural
commonwealth. The farmer is in the
saddle, and laughs at his apologists.
Investigating tax problems in the
United States, the National Industrial
Conference board found that the tax
on the Minnesota mining industry is
approximately ten times as great pro-
portionately, as that paid by the mining
| industry in this country.
At the present time, the annual tax
bill of the mining companies in Min
nesota is over three times as much as in
| 1913, although the ore in reserve has
decreased over 2O0y00O00O tons. Since
| 1929 there has been tremendous
shrinkage in values, but no change
in the basis of valuation placed by the
state on the mines. It is self-eWdent
that until this situation is rectifed there
can be no important development work
Michigan is more reasonable in its
treatment of the iron mining companies
though the latter claim that assessments
are still extremely excessive, and they
have been pushing for reductions. The
formula for determining iron ore values
is much the same as in Minnesota.
Because of the age of some mines
high costs and slack demand, pumps
have been pulled and they have been
permitted to fill up with water. A large
part of the reserves are high in phos-
phorus for which there is little demand
These so-called captive" mines, if not
owned by consuming interests, that can
find some use for the material, would
not be worked.
Furthermore, the public attitude to-
ward mining companies in Michigan
appears to be more cooperative than in
Minnesota. There are no special taxes;
mining communities have cut their

to be worth watching.
The situation in the house hasn't yet
reached as advanced stage, but there
are rumblings pointing to some trouble
among the liberals in that body, too.
Some of the liberals are reported none
too well satisfied with their committee
assignments at the hands of Speaker
Charles Mum, but this hasn't developed
yet into anything serious
A flare-up is looked for, however,
when it comes to action on the report
of the rules cmmittee Qthe speakers
cabinet, so to speak, on reduction of
the number of house employees by about
IS per cent from two years ago, reduc-
tons in pay OF employees of from 10 to
so per cent, pay on siX-day instead
of seven-day basis and elimination of
all bonuses at end of the session.
This proposes much more drastic
reduction in legislative expense than
was recommended in the senate by that
body's rules committee, which is con-
sentative The pay of senate
employees was reduced an average of
Every house member that voted for
Mum for speaker expects to name at
least one employee, while others are said
to have been promised the privilege of
naming two or three. 1t may not be
poSSible-with the number of employees
greatly reduced-to carry out all these
promises. That augurS trouble.
There is also opposition among some
of the liberals to such drastic reductions
in employees pay as proposed. Some of
| the directors fall back on the state
ment of Gov. Olson in his inaugural
address opposing wage reductions in
principle as not the right way to
remedy depression conditions.
The rules committee, composed en-
tirely of liberals and headed by Rep.
John j. McDonough, st. Paul Demo-
crat, is reported virtually unanimous in
its determination to put through its
economy plan and this may bring on
something of fight on the floor.
During the campaign last fall, John
E. Regain, Democratic candidate for
governor, pledged himself, if elected, to
wipe out" the Big Three, as the COM
mission of administration and finance
is commonly known, and many thought
John was spoofing.
! A bill was introduced in the house
Monday, however, designed to do this
very thing-abolish the Big Three. 1t
was fathered by Rep. Leonard Ericks-
son, Fergus Falls.
While the Big Three is a creature
of former Republican administration,
created in 1925, it is now believed that
some of the liberal leaders among the
legislators will be found the strongest
opponents of the proposal to abolish
this department, which is now con-
| trolled in toto by Gov. Olson, all three
members being his own appointees.
The move to do away with this i'm
portant department will cause a pretty
good fight, anyhow, even though the
attempt seems doomed Ito defeat.
Another move by Rep. Ericsson is for
repeal of the well known one-miu road
and bridge tax law, enacted 20 or more
years ago through the special efforts of
the late Bob Dunn and which has been
so instrumental in building up the
states secondary road system.
1t is not believed probable, however,

st. Paul, an. 10, 1933.-While the 1888
legislature got away to fine start last
week, there are already warning signs
a-plenty of Snags that are going to
retard progress considerably by the
time there is a full head of steam on.
The plan to shorten the session by 20
days or so only aggravates the situation
and there is already some opposition
developing to the misunderstanding
plan.
The lines between the so-called con-
servativeS and liberals (misnomerS, by
the way) are beginning to disappear a
little following settlement of the queS-
ton of control in both branches, ap-
parently leaving less open bitterness
than many had expected, but the fires
are not out by any means and may
flare up unexpectedly almost any time
and cause all kinds of trouble.
Besides, there are signs Of coming
trouble within the ranks of the liberals
in both bodies. These are so far more
plainly seen in the senate, where there
IS already battle on as to who is
going to be the administration floor
leader and be recognized more or less
officially as Gov. Olsons spokesman.
The youthful and aggressive Sen.
George Lommen, Eveleth, is trying to
assume the prerogatives of floor leader
ship for the liberals and has ap-
parently gotten the inside track so far
as concerns the ear of the presiding
T lall 1rr1,O 70
has recognized" the Eveleth solon when
it has come to making the motions
usually devolving upon the admins
tration leader.
But the Lommen aScendancy isn't
going unchallenged and may result in
his "descendancy" before long-unless
Gov. Olson himself permits himself to
be drawn into the controversy as judge
and jury and compelled to express
his own choice of spokesman.
It has come to be somewhat of a
tradition in the senate that the chair
man of the civil administration COM
mittee is the administration leader
This was the case for several sessions
under Republican rule, when Sen
Claude Mackenzie, Gaylord, held that
Craftsmanship. 1t was also true in the
1881 session, when Sen. Harry Bridge
man, Bemidji, Farmer-Laborite, was
given the post by the controlling coah-
ton geographically the same group
has won control again last week.
The new civil administration chair
man is Sen. c. A Hausler, ST. Paul, who
is a sort of Democratic Farmer-Labor-
tie.
Sen. Lommen, however, and some o!
his followers decline ito recognize Sen
Hausler as spokesman for the admins
tration because he was selected by the
controlling group, which comprises
mostly conservatives.
As a consequence there has already
been open ruction on the floor, with
Sen. Bridgeman, Sen George Nordlin
st. Paul, Sen. Henry NORM, Duluth
and other liberals figuratively trying to
spank" Lommen.
While this situation, interesting and
possibly important as it is, may be more
of personal than political significance, at
least up to date, it may easily become
of serious consequence to the admins
tration legislative program. It's going
