Tae St. Paut Dispatcn has dis- covered and acknowledges the injust- ice which.a state tonnage tax on iron ore would bring to the cities and villages of the range, according to an article on the subject published dur- ing the early part of the week. The recogvition by the Dispatch is the more to be remarked as it is the first appearance in a l'win city paper of an editorial notice of any degree of intelligence. and justice On the sub- ject. in regard to the argument of those favoring the new tax law, and the claim that they have 00 inten- tion of reducing the income to the communities in the mining region, but will provide that a portion of the tax levied will be given to the cities and villages concerned, we quote from the Dispatch‘ “‘that would bea mere amelioration of the wrong ine flicted by the adoption of a bad principle. : That the action of the legislators will no doubt be baseg onthe idea of justice the Herald-Review feels contident, and the work of the Dis- patch in searching ont and exposing the injustice of the proposed law to its readers and the legislature, while it might be more complete, is greatly appreciated by the people of theven- tire range.

The program for the circus and vaudeville performance to be held at the high school auditorium tonight embraces in its list of performers such notabies as Hans Schmitg, Fritz Von Smash, Henrick Von Miller, Chris Poppenheimer, Olof Fitzpat- rick, Joaquin Hossenpfeffer and the Swinganfall family. ‘The cireus will introduce for the first time in the city the Goups in their original dance a feature much heralded by the promoters.

If the present tax is withdrawa and the district is compelled totake care of the loan and maintain the schools you can see the embarrassing condi- tion in which the district will be. “The pine timber is practically re- moved from Itasca county, and of it the state has had its share. Iron ore is now taking the place of lumber more and moreeach year, but in ltasca county it is mostly low grade aod cannot be used except after it has been subjected to a scientific process. It is necessary to strip a heavy overburden to open one of these low grade mines, and in order to be assured of its having a place in the demand for iron ore there is no chance to add anything to the cost withovt endangering the demard. The industry in the low grade ores could be easily checked for an in- definite period by adding anything to the cost of making it commercially desirable. “The tonnage tax proposition is not feasibie to begin with. If the proposed Jaw should be enacted the operating companies would work the mines that are now opened up, and let their low grade undeveloped lands lie idle. “The tonnage tax law would dis- courage exploratory work in Itasca county and depress business generally. There is no redeeming feature about the bill and it should be killed.” New Depot for Deer River. That the new depot promised for years by the Great Northera road is about to be given Deer River is now asure thing and not to be doubted longer was Made potent by the ap= pearance of the complete plans in the hands of the chief engineer at the station.
