Intensity
of Life
HiGh-PresSure
Living Driving
to Suicide
By GUGLIELMO FERRERO,
Noted Italian Historian Now in America.

The epidemic of suicides which seems to be
sweeping America is caused mainly by the strenuous
life led here 1t is very very difficult to get into the
soul of man who has taken his own life. The in
tensity of life in this country is certain to be fol-
lowed by somewhat corresponding longing for
death. 1t is only psychological reaction. Ameri-
cans however, sleep too little and this very likely has
something to do with it. The nerve centers never
relaxed. In this country 1 understand there is a
great increase of diseases and neurasthena.
People are all trying to '.keep up appearances, !"
you say. The struggle to do this is heart-breakng
In ancient times the world was not nearly rich as
to-day, but economic conditions much fairer.
Now the world is richer but the contrasts between

There seems to be a strange weakening
in the whole habit and science of intellec-
tual war. And, like most things that de-
cay, it begins, as it were, to die at both
ends. Thus in the same way religion gen.
orally breaks up into skepticism and SUI
perstition simultaneously. Thus the old
dignity and decency of patriotism have
been threatened by two heresies, one which
says that you should love all other countries
and conquer them, while the other says that
you should love all other countries and let
them conquer you. Similar has been the
fate Of the true idea of fighting, whether

1t is very interesting to note how ma
tional qualities and characteristics express
and reveal themselves through the pocket,
how much of nations spirit may give
itself body and substance, may become OBJ
jective, through the manner in which it
uses its purse. A great while ago an old
writer and keen observer of life said "The
love of money is the root of all evil" And
by this sentiment this very notable man
simply meant that money was large me-
dunn through which life revealed and ex-
pressed itself, that the uses Of it told much
of the story of life.

about the bushel tax? Had my

to saddle all the taxes of the state

through any more than did the
tonnage tax.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-05-14

THE bushel tax law has been
defined by the state tax commission
and proves to be a rotten measure
whose consequences were not con-
sidered until the instructions of the
state board have shown it up. The
law is one that from its appearance
was created by man with the jim
jams and passed by body of men
similarly afflicted. The tax is to
apply to all the grain handled to
March l last, and the elevators will
have considerable more to charge
to the farmer on this years crop.
Terminal elevators are to pay the
tax if the grain merely passes
through them in transit. 1t is
claimed that the law will build e1e-
vators at Superior and the Wiscon-
sin people are consequently jubi1-
ant. Minnesota, through its 1egis-
lature will yet become the laughing
stock of the nation.

MAYOR VET0ES
CLAIM AGENT
POINTS OUT TWO DEFECTS IN
ORDINANCE THAT WILL
HAVE TO BE CORRECTED BE-
FORE HE WILL SIGN 1T.

Mayor Moore announced today
that he would veto the ordinance
passed by the council Tuesday
night creating the Office of claim
agent, position which was made
at the solicitation of the legal de-
partment
The mayor gives two reasons for
the veto. In the first place, the
ordinance does not set out that the
employee should be paid from the
funds of the legal department, but
holds the police fund liable for the
services of a man working in an
other department. Mayor Moore
states that the department bene-
flied by the services of an employe
should pay the salary.
The other defect is in the clause
stating how the appointment
should be made. This clause gives
the chief of police or the mayor
the appointing power, and 1t is
pointed out that there is possi-
bility of a lack of harmony be-
tween the two executives, and in
this case there would be wran-
gle which could not be settled un-
der the ordinance.
With these errors corrected,
Mayor Moore favors the ordinance.
The appointing power should be
either with the mayor or on the
recommendation of the corporation
counsel The ordinance will be re-
ferred to the council for further
action.

Then Ballinger referred to the

acres of an Oregon land grant to
bona fide settlers at a nominal
price.
This is the only case of its kind

settlers should own it and the fact
that the suit was instituted is proof
that the government intends to
