Lunatic Fringe in Action.

Legislative mutterings, and they don't
run to the conservative members of the
two bodies, either, would indicate that
the iron country is facing rape of its
from ore tax revenues and that the day
of attack is not far off. Already bills
looking to a more equal division of the
tax spoils as between the state and the
districts local subdivisions have been
introduced in the Legislature and while
their passage is doubtful at this special
session, they constitute forerunner
of what IS to come. And many would
not be surprised if the same crowd now
so induStriouSly engaged in painting the
Minnesota mining interests as the limit
in tax evasion and lodging way took
the lead in general demand for new
iron ore tax deal. When it does happen
it will be a sorry day for those Range
legislators whose chief obSesSion has
been "get the steel trust"-Vance Chap
man, Legislature correspondent and free
lance writer.
The real rumpus in this state about
the taxes paid by the mining industry
is not about the amount the mines pay,
but because few local communities
in the small mining region get three
fourths, the state only one-fourth, of
the twenty million dollars a year.
That's why the Range towns are lavish
ly rich and able to spend money with
a reckless abandon that would make a
drunken sailor on shore leave with three
months pay in his pocket so ashamed of
his spendthrift efforts that he would
voluntarily surrender himself to the
town Observation-Disclosures Sentinel, one
of the leading small daily newspapers
in the state.
These items representing the con-
sidered opinion of two writer's from
widely-separated points in the state are
reprinted here merely to awaken the
citizenry of the iron country to hazard
that is real and that will have been
brought about, when effected, by the
people themselves in their support of
demagogues who have been sent from
this area to st. Paul. Almost any news
paper in the down-state section of Min
nesota carries editorial opinion not un-
like the reprint from the Fairmont
Sentinel. The conviction seems to be
that the mining industry pays a tire
mendous tax, but that the portion
which the general treasury of the state
gets is small compared to the amount
which is spent on the Range in local
communities. Reading this comment
from time to time, it is apparent that
the writer's are not satisfied that the
money spent on the Range is wisely
expended, nor are they disposed to be-
lieve any longer that the communities
up here are any more entitled to special
conveniences and super advantages
than others elsewhere which can not
have them-Virginia Enterprise.

Dog, Fox Bark; Wolf Howls

We are told that our domestic
dog has descended from the wolf
and not from the fox. Wolf and fox
have many characteristics in COM
mon, but there is a very marked
difference in the structure of their
bodies, observes a writer in Tit-Bits
Magazine. Almost the only claim
that can be made for a distant re-
lationship between dog and fox is
that both bark, while wolves howl.

Never in my time have I encounter

swarm, after five o'clock, with dig

all woven out of transparent tissue.
Who IN the city hasn't a wallet as

One View of 1T.
It is political axiom that an over
whelming congressional majority is
likelier to lie partisan liability than
an asset, in the long run.
In 1928 the Republicans certainly
won substantially enough.
The Democrats were depressed by
their licking.
"And yet" the late Joseph w.
Byrns (then a Tennessee representa-
tive and speaker of the House little
later) told me shortly afterward,
''the bigger the Republican majority,
the surer it is that it will get to fight
ing internally at the next session"

is that we have different sets of prin-
ciples, and we quarrel over 'em on
election day-and lose elections, ac-
cordingly.
"The Republicans have no prin-
ciples to quarrel over at elections.
"They don't care whether they
break in through the attic or the
basement window. AS electioneers,
they'll agree on any plan, to get at
the plumber.
"But they quarrel like fury over the
loot, as soon as their paws are on it."
A paper Majority
And so it happened.
President Hoover never did have
congressional majority he could de-
bend on. He had paper majority"

Servation, to stick together
A huge majority disinteg-ates.

First news of American casualties

TO-DAY from Berlin. A German War Of
