taxes should accrue to the state rather
than be wasted in excessive expendi-

bill is similar to one on which I was
an author back in 1897, in that it

Stormy Debate on Ore Bills.

Two days of this week were spent
on iron ore bills. AS usual at every
session the boys from the iron range
jammed the Capitol and attempted
to bring pressure enough to defeat
the per capita limitation bills. The
House finally passed the bills, how
ever, after stormy debate, going un-
til 2 o'clock in the morning on one
evening. These bills place a limi-
tation on the spending of range COM
munities, bringing them down to the
level of Hibbing which has been on
a lower limitation rate since 1885
Hibbing still has about three or four
times as much money to spend as
other communities in the state of
comparative size, and it should be no
hardship for the others to bring their
expenditures down to that level.
Increase Occupational Tax.
Then in order that the mining COM
panies should not profit by this limi-
tation, the House increased the oc-
cupational tax on iron ore, the money
that goes to the state, from to Is
per cent. 1 see where the Governor,
with many members of the legisla-
ture, says that this is too high, and
it will probably be reduced some
when it gets through the Senate.

Kettle river, as well as several
other streams, has been very high
of late owing to the heavy rains and
snow of last week. Friday and Satur-
day the citizens of Sandstone were
on the anxious seat on account OF
the grave danger of the dam at the
quarry breaking. Logs floating down
the river had gathered at this point
and those together with the high
water made tremendous pressure. The
water had risen high enough to
flow up through several of the quar-
~ buildings. Since then the water
has lowered considerably and the
danger is past.

a good speaker in Adam Bede, a
former congressman. Mr.. Bede knows
how to entertain; he talked about
everything but the court house ques-
