Se RRR Published Every Wednesday TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Gntered at the Postoffice at Grand Rap- ids, Minn., as Second Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County ONE ON ATTORNEY GENERAL. Old Man Atkinson of the Mesaba Ore at Hibbing sees a jake in everything done by any member ef the present state administration. The recent error made by tha aiate’s legal expert in confounding ¥. A. King, the recently appoint- ed receiver of the land office at uas¢ Lake, with C. M. King, late president of the Northern Minne~ sota Develepment association is the latest fluke to receive atten- tion from Atkinson’s pen. Follow- ing is the Ore’s version of the oc- curreuce: Minnesota’s very able attomey general, Lynden A. Smith, besides being always ready with an “opinion” on any old thing that may chance to come up, goes off half-cocked about as regularly as do some of the other high-salaried state officials, and his latest break is causing a great deal of amuse- ment) in this part of the state. » Mr. Smith didn’t cotton to the idea of President King, of the Northern Minnesota Development association, butting into the state land game, and thus heading off government land patents that the stat¢d was no entitled to and he laid low for a chance to crack a bead—Mr. King’s, particularly. _ Cyrus M. King, of Deer River, is president of the development as- sociation, and he is a tireless worker in behalf of Northern Min- nesota. At about the time Presi- dent King succeeded i, having the government lands held up where the state could not get them until at fulfilled its pledges. Fred A. King of Grand Rapids, was ap- pointed receiver of the land office at Cass Lake, and the attorney gen eral with his eye peeled for the ehance to crack a head, jumped to the conclusion all in one jump that the federal appointee and the president of the development as- sociation were one and the sama gentleman, and so anxious was he to.crack a head that: he didn’t stop. do make inquiry, but got his club out and spit on his hands. Like all good state officials he immediately submitted to a news- paper interview, and put his foot in his mouth as follows: “With Mr. King taking the stand he does (on state land matters; his ap- pointment. as receiver of the land By KILEY @ SPENCER| office at Cass Lake would be harm- fful to the state, and possibly we would be doing the right thing if we protested against confirmation of his appointment. as these lands are located in the Cass Lake dis- trict and Mr. King could make the state a lot of trouble.” The case is different, however— it’s'a pair of Kings, and the one unhampered with a federal position is not trying to make any trouble for the state. On. the con- trary. President King is trying to compel the state; to live up to its part of the contract made with the federal government, and thus make better the state lands that . have long been neglected by the nig- gardly eo of the state. Attorney General Smith ‘has not quite recovered from the shock, but he will be as good as new in ® short time. NEW LAWS WILL BE IN EFFECT ON JAN. 1 Cashman Tariff Measure And New Tax Classification Most Im- portant Measures. A number of laws of the greatest importance to the people of the state will go into effect on Jan. 1. Chief among these are the Cashman distance tariff law and the classification law. The latter as it concerns taxation is perhaps the one in which most interest is tak- en. It is almost revolutionary in theory, although in effect the changes from ‘the present assess- ment rates will not be so great as contemplated when the bill was first introduced. The present law provides for the assessment of all propenty at full value, but there were comparatively few attempts at’ a full enforcement. The new lalw divides property in- to four classes and provides that irdn, ore lands, constituting class 4, shall He assessed at 50 per cent of their actual value. Class 2 to be asgessed at 25 per cent of full value, includes all household goods and furniture and wearing apparel, Class 3 includes live stock, poultry, stocks of merchandise, agriculture) products, mainufacturers’ materials and products, all tools and imple- ments, and all unplatted real es- juate, and iis to} be assessed at 33 4-3 per cent of its actual value. "Class 4, to be assessed at 40 per cent of its true value, includes city real estate and any other property not specifically mentioned in the three first classes. STATE'S PRISONS WILL GLEAR LAND Twenty-Five To Be Tried Ont On Lands Of The State Near Walker Sanitarium. Twenty-five convicts are to be sont to the state lands near Walk- fer from the state penitentiary at Stillwater, to begin a system of in- tensive state farming and land reclamation, according to plans an- nounced by the state board of con- rol, which is compelled to find em- ployment for more than 200 men afler Jan. 4. 4 The laws prevent the prison from taking contracts and the shoe contract will accordingly be dropped. The announcement of the new plan was made after the board had purchased 160 acres adjoining the prison, farm at Stillwater. The jand will be farmed i The board has other land ad- joining state institutions and owus a large tract near the state sana- torium at Walker. The mem prison- ens will be sent there to clear the land and put in crops. Only the prisoners with best records will be sent to the farms. If the first de- tachment makes a success of. the veniure others will be sent ou Trouble In The Family. Deputy Sheriff Carson returned from Duluth on Saturday having in charge Mrs. Lucy Jerkovich, want- ed for abandoning her husband and year-old child at Taconite. At the trial held before Justice Keameyi | Qn, Monday the wife said that she had been conducting a boarding house at the range town and had become tired of furnishing the money wherewith to maintain her spouse in the manner to which he considered himself entitled, Con- \iSequently she left the baby in charge of the husband's sister and | flew the coop. Jerkovich, on the ‘contrary, alleges that he was a model provider and hinted at other motives on the part of the wife in H. D.
