To date the iron ore industry has contributed
Sis million 70 these permanent trust funds. But
that's only . small fraction Of the TOTAL tax
revenue Minnesota has gotten from iron ore. All
told, MinnesOta'S iron ore industry has paid
nearly three quarters Of billion dollars In taxes
TO state and local gOy0rnmsnts.
It's easy to zee, Mr.. Serkland, that Minnesota does
need its iron ore industry. And o good way to make
sure II win hare this giant taxpayer and employer for
generations to come b 70 refrain from taxing II TO
death The iron producers want TO pay their fair
share Of taxes But they believe they should be taxed
instead Of the far higher rates they now pay.

Elizabeth Taylor Gets Diploma
From School She Didn't Attend

Recall Memories

by the Asseeio.sd Press

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 27.-Eliza-
beth Taylor. Aim beauty, has a
new laurel today among her many
achievements-her high school
diploma.
She was graduated last night
from University High School. The
other students didn't know her
except by her reputation as q
movie star.
She has taken the last nine
years Of her schooling from studio
tutors. Because she is the only
member of her studio class, she
was permitted to go through
graduation ceremonies at q near
by city high school,.
Except for stares by some of
the spectators. Elizabeth was
treated as just another one Of
the 1873 graduates last night. She
was listed on the program as
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, right
between Kikuye Tanaka and
Barbara Joan Terry.
With a white cap on her short
black tresses and wearing a white
gown, she paced down the aisle
to the labored strains of "Pomp
and Circumstance" rendered by
the high school orchestra.
The 17-year-old actress sobbed
slightly as student orators re-
called high school memories she
had never shared. She listened
attentively as one valedictorian
discussed Can Science Save Us!"
and another declared, Gold is
still here"
She fidgeted during musical
numbers by two girl pianists. a
girl violinist and a soprano. She
smiled as she accepted her di-
ploma from a member Of the Los

|Barse Reports Record
Court Load, Urges ;
Judges Be Appointed

The Municipal Court handled
the largest volume of cases in it's
history during the last fiscal year,
pointing up the necessity for early
appointment of three new judges,
already authorized by Congress.
This was stressed in a report
covering the fiscal year Of 1s49,
submitted yesterday to the At
torney General by Chief Munic-
ipal Court Judge George p. Barse.
The report shows that there
were 149,179 new civil and Grim
inal cases filed during the year,
compared with 1888 cases filed
during 1948-an increase Of more
than z per cent.
Lone Decrease Reported.
The only decrease during the
period was in the number of Grim
inal cases filed in the United
States branch of Municipal Court,
the report shows. This branch,
which handles hearings on felony
cases and trials involving more
serious types of misdemeanors
carrying penalty up to a year, !,
dropped about per cent from
the previous years load.
The sharpest increase was re-
corded in the number of class B
civil cases Involving claims of
from $50 to $500, which rose a
full 20 per cent over those In 1s48.
Judge Barse took the occasion
to renew his plea for the early
appointment of the three addi-
tional judges authorized during
the last session of Congress.
I st is obvious" he wrote, that
a limited number of judges, even
by their best efforts, could not
continue to dispose of a progress
sively increasing amount of bust
Reappraisal Forecast.
ut Is hoped that. with the help
OF three additional judges, the
work OF the court can become
current and remain,So. However,
II is necessary to point out that
there are two important factors
which may require q reappraisal
Of the situation within the next
year or so.
One is the increase in the
volume Of work of the court. : !.
This. OF course, cannot be con-
trolled and may later necessitate
the appointment of additional
judges. The other is the burden
upon this court of handling the
calendar of the Juvenile Court
during the absence Of the Judge
Of the Juvenile Court"
