FREE BATHS AND BARBERING.
Congressman Enjoy Luxuries at the
Capitol Building Which the
Country Pays For.

It is not generally-known that Uncle
Sam furnishes his legislators with
bath tubs and other accessories Of
cleanliness, but it is nevertheless .
fact. In the basement of the cal col
are located the congressional bath
rooms, where the statesmen cleanse
their cuticle at the expense of the
people. On the house side there are
Is tubs, while on the senate the num-
Der is somewhat smaller. They are
patronized by the statesmen at all
hours of the day. Attendants are pro-
vided at the expense of the govern
ment. The fact that the bathrooms
are almost constantly occupied indi-
Gates the extent to which the priv
lege of the free bath is appreciated.
Senators and members who live at ho-
tells, where an extra charge is made
for a bath, usually wait until they
reach the capitol to enjoy this luxury.
Not only are the statesmen furnished
free baths, but barber shops are pro-
vided for their use. These are well
patronized, as no charge is made, and
the BARRIERS turn many an honest
penny. They receive good salaries
from the government and at the same
time get tips from their patrons.

THE MINER this week presents It's
readers in IA supplement herewith, the
facts and figures to prove that the
division of st. Louis county would be
detriment to every resident of the
proposed new county, aside from a
very few selfish persons at Virginia
and Eveleth-a handful Of people that
are putting forth every effort to bur-
den the people with taxes that few
fat offices and jobs may be given into
their hands. The figures presented
i'm our supplement are absolutely cor
rect and may be verified by any person
who is in doubt. The figures were
gathered from the records and are
given Just as they exist on the books
of St. Louis county. Every feature
of the division proposition Is covered,
and no attempt has been made to con-
ceal or falsify any of the facts In the
issue. The advocates of county div
ision are "a horde Of Office seekers and
the very keystone of the division arch
is that we supply fat jobs for very
few at the expense of many. The
boomers say it will lower our tax rate,
while any man Of ordinary intelli-
gence knows that such is not the fact
and from the very nature Of things
cannot be. Were the county divided
we would after taking our share OF
the bonded Indebtedness less the
share of county buildings, come into
Iron county with an Indebtedness Of
Sl51 900, and we would then be with
out a cent Of money to start business
with. 1t will take money and lots of
it to organize and get the new county
into running order. County build
ings, election, salaries. records and all
the necessary and essential things
must be had to start the work. This

In q small case involving less than
$l00 Judge Dibell made an important
decision Tuesday, affirming the con-
stitutionality Of the law passed by
the legislature in 1899 authorizing
appeals from municipal courts to
district courts. Before that appeals
had to be taken from municipal
courts direct to the supreme court.
involving more expense than most of
the cases tried in municipal courts
would justify. In the case just de-
cided by Judge Dibell one Of the part
les raised a question as to the constit-
utionality OF the law, and Judge
Dibell upholds 1t, though he implies
that it is something Of a strain to do
80. The case is that of Gheen Bros.
against Stephen Niles, an appeal from
the municipal court OF Tower, ia
which the court finds that $90.45 Is
due the plaintiffs. The grouad on
which the cOnstitutiOnality OF the
law or 1899 was attacked was that it
was a special law or al amendment Of
a special law, both OF which are pro-
hibited by the constitution. Judge
Dibell says in u memorandum accom-
panying the decision that lac does not
believe that this constitutional pro-
vision is applicable, and lac holds the
law good, though he cOnfesses that
| there Is some doubt in his mind about
it. He holds it good under the rule,

court, that in cases OF doubt every

money must be borrowed, and before
the county could be placed In running
order we would have u milestone OF
$3.50, 900 In bonded Indebtedness about
our necks. Would such a condition
lower or raise our present rate OF tax
alton? Answer the question yourself.
The present income of the proposed
new county Is about $4,000, instead
at 1881 900, as has been misrepresented
by the Eveleth Star, the mouthpiece
OF the boomers. The tax rate in Ely
is the lowest OF any municipality in
the county, and the county tax rate
is the lowest Of any county in the
state. What more do the business in
terests of Ely want? The division of
st. Louis county is an assinine propo-
sition from any point of view. Read
the supplement carefully and you will
understand what menace threatens
you.
