The Independent hopes *to get out of its present tinancial di- lemma between now and the ides of November by blackmailing candidates for last financial iegs and cannot go much further. Something must be done— ttice. politics must save it—if it can be]! The Independent had|| saved at all. experience of attempted black- Repvblican candidate for governor. It had the brazen offrontery to de- mand by letter $500.00 for its suport of the Republican candidate for governor during the campaign. The reply received was calculated to con- vince the Independent that Mr. Dunn was not making that sort of a cam- paign. It may have a few similar ex- periences thisyear. The Independent has simply put itself ina position to cause the public to believe it has been bought by any candidate whose cause it may expouse. _—1oo—— Interested in Democracy. The Herald-Review is delighted with the great interest shown in the welfare of the Democratic party of Itasca county by our puny little con- temporaries— the Independent at Grand” Rapids and the News at Bovey. Both these aspirants for rec- ognition in the newspaper tield pre- tend to be Republican in politics, but in order to attract attention and get || their names in the Herald-Review | | they give a great deal of attention to Democratic affairs.

It only re- mains to be said that the Bryan dele- gation was seated in the state con- vention by the committee on creden- tials, simply for the reason that the contestants were usable to make any showing that would entitle them to consideration. ‘Lhe . Independent's attempt to cast reflections upon Mr. A. B. Claire because of any posi- tion he may take in politics is not worthy of refutation. The little dead-beat puppy who publisbes the Independent is not entitled to men- tion in the same article wherein ts printed the name of A. B. Clair. As to the fool proposition that the Herald-Review received $1,000 from Senator D. M. Gunn two years ago, “Both the Independent anger governo t News gave it first page space and de-/ever the quoted words’ may miean—is A com-jaccepted by the public for just what the Independent’s statements usually ‘area contemptible lie, peoned by a contemptible liar. \ Tax Commission Not Satisfied.

The commissivn rose manfully to a defense of its position and declared that it was impossible to grant the petitions because it would necessitate a complete revision of the valuations. In a few of the applica-| tions where the evidence of over-val- uations were tod clear to be disputed the abatements were granted by the commissioners, but the great majority were instantly turned down. Before filling upon the valuation of these properties the commission made a personal inspection of the proper- ties and then held hearing in the office at. the state capitol at which the mining interests were allowed to “to have thrown down the Demo- present their views as to the proper ! by the house did not contain anything | 3 eaunetemtmenere:| uemctnmienasieetiem eistetsucnemccumtinied no seam cicts > placed on the various roperties. The commission then de- cided upon the valuation for each property, which increased the total valuation of the iron ore properties io the state about $120,000,000. The val- uation thus fixed was subsequently reviewed by the state board of equal- ization and after a hearing at which tbe representatives of the mining i1n- terests were heard they approved the valuation fixed by the tax commis- sion. J. ADAM AGAIN FORGETS DISTRICT Mr. Bede Depends Upon Others to Look After Important Matters While He Junkets. Duluth must depend upon Senator Nelson to get an appropriation of $95,000 for the federal building which amount was estimated to be required by the treasury department says Tuesday’s News Tribune. The public buildings bill as passed other Minnesota towns were well provided for. Congressman Bede admitted tonight that he was well aware that there would be nothing for the Zenith City in the bill and further stated that he depended on the others to insert the item. In taking this course it is con- sidered here that de took pretty desperate chances for the senate committee is opposed to inserting entirely new items in bills. Still Senator Nelson is quite certain that he will secure the sum desired inas- much as it is considered necessary by the treasury department. Two years ago this summer when the $125,000 was obtained for Duluth, Congressman Bede was out of Wash- ington at the time the public build- ings bill came up, and left the matter in the hands of Congressman Stevens. The committee struck Duluth out when it reported the bill to the senate but Mr. Stevens got busy with Senator Nelson and saved the item. Get printing at Herald-Review.
