Owen EXPLAINS
CURRENCY BILL
Comments Upon Probable
Effectiveness

( Washington, D. c., June Ex-senator
Owen, chairman of the senate finance
committee, has issued statement eA-
planning the terms of the adnlinistra-
ton currency bill, which he believes
will be enacted into law before the end
of September The senator commented
upon the probable effectiveness of the
measure in improving financial condi-
tions and said the chief end in view
was to make bank reserves more mo-
bile and to provide an elastic currency
for times of need
Some of the larger interests of the
country he said, having set their
heart upon the passage of the Aldrich
bill, and having expended large effort
in educating the country in afvor Of
the Aldrich plan, have been discomfort
ed in two very important particulars.
First the Aldrich bill gives control
of the proposed system to the banks OF
the country, and secondly, authorized
the bank to issue the currency to the
country under this system as bank cur
rency.
1--WE have been unable to approve the
principles of the Aldrich bill, beliey-
ing that the federal reserve banks, hav-
ing been established purely for the
purpose of stabilizing the commercial
and financial operations of the people
OF the United States, should be gov-
erned exclusively by the people of the
United States and in establishing the
federal reserve board to exercise this
governing fuaction we do not think ii
proper to permit private persons to
have representation upon such govern
ing board.
1--WE think it no more reasonable to
grant this demand to the bankers than
it would be to authorize the railroads
to have representation and exercise
a part of the governing power of the
interstate commerce commission,
which is charged with the duty OF
regulating the railroads. 1t would, per-
haps, be but little different if the beef
packers should demand representation
in administering the pure food act and
regulating their own conduct.
1T has been suggested that some Is
the largest national banks might go
out of this system and become state
banks, because of their displeasu-e
at not having representation on the
coverings federal reserve board apjb
because they were not satisfied to
have their correspondent banks put
part of their reserves in the federal
system, and for the further reason
that they were displeased at the
United States issuing public currensv
and in the bill not giving the right
to the reserve banks to issue the
currency of the country.
"We have taken infinite pains 10
ascertain the grounds of these objec-
tons and feel justified in saying that
there is no reason to apprehend that,
any national bank will go out of the.
system because of the provisions OF
this bill, but that they will generally
rejoice at the opportunity afforded
them of having more stable con-
dition in the financial and commercial.

TAX ASSOCIATION
Heavy Taxpayers Form League for
Protection
Statement Given out From the
Offices Explains

An association recently has been
formed including in its membership
practically all of the mining COM
panies operating on the iron ranges
and some of the other heaviest tax
payers, the association to be known
as Lake Superior Tax Association
The following statement is made
from the office of the company in
the Alworth Building.
The organization is the outgrowth
of feeling amongst these pro-
perty owners that there are many
matters relating to the collection
and expenditure of public funds in
which, with the aid of such an as

Fire Sale

AS result of the recent fire in
the Geological Survey the Director
has announced a fire sale" of
geologic folios. The entire base
ment, in which the fo1ios were
stored, was filled with dense smoke
and many of the folios were burned,
others scorched, and all more or
less damaged by water. With the
approval of Secretary Lane the
Director announces that he will sell
the entire remaining stock of some
100000 folios, four ffths of which
are probably as near perfect as
goods usually offered:in smoke or
fire sale, at the nominal price of S
cents each. The regular retail
price of the standard folios is Is
cents, but few unusually large have
sold for so cents, and the regular
price of the field edition. of the
later folios, a more convenient form
for use in the field, is so cents.
All these are now to be had at
cents each, but no wholesale rate
applies to this fire sale.
Now is the time for students,
engineers, and the public generally
to order geologic folios to complete
their files or to become acquainted
with this Government publication,
the 1873 numbers of which fully
describe the geology of some 49,
600 square miles of the United
States. The stock includes pro-

CITIZENS TO HELP
Governor Wants Cooperation With
Forest Service

Governor Eberhart wants the
citizens of northern Minnesota to
be ready to fight every small fire
that may start in the forest regions.
He believes that with proper pre-
cautions and systematic aid given
to the forest rangers, the dangers
from the disastrous fires can be re-
duced to the minimum.
The governor has had some ex-
perience in seeing and fighting
forest fires. After the disaster at
Hinckley number of years ago,
he went to the scene and saw the
inhabitants bury their dead. When
news was brought to him of the
fires at Beaudette and Spooner two
years ago, as chief executive he
personally went to the scene and
took charge of the relief work.
In the May number of The North
Woods, the publication of the Min
nesota Forestry association, the
governor calls attention to the
necessity of the citizens of the north
cooperating with the state forest
service. His Call to Arms" as
published therein, follows:
To Those Who Live in Forest
Regions: A great responsibility
rests upon every one of you. The
state looks to you to help care for
the trees, to assist in the work of
forever putting stop to the dis
astrous fires that have devastated
miles upon miles of the most beauti-
full country in the world.
We think of the disasters at
Hinckley, Chisholm, Beaudette and
Spooner with horror. Knowing of
what has happened, oftentimes
through mere carelessness, we
should all prepare to do our little
part in preventing the recurrence
of such disasters.
At the beginning of the season,
when fires are easily started, let us
grid ourselves for the fight.
Every citizen of the forest
regions in Minnesota should make
himself an assistant forest ranger.
A forest ranger is ever on the look
out for the small fire that may be
smouldering but may need only a
high wind to transform it into a
confagration. If every citizen will
do the same thing, if he will report
every small fire that he sees, if he
will give his time and energy to-
ward helping the rangers, then the
time will come when the forest fires
will be thing of the past.
Let us guard carefully the trees
that God has given us. Let US re-
member that the forest fires mean
not only the destruction of pro-

All this week there has been an
unusual amount of activity in the
schools of the district. This week
the examinations and exhibits are
taking place at the Ely and Winton
schools.
Wednesday evening the Winton
schools exhibited their years hand
work in the industrial lines and
last night the industrial exhibit of
the Ely schools was on at the Aud

c., and remittance made by money
order or in coin. Lists will be sent
on application.

itorium. The exhibits this yeal
are not as large as on previou:
years, only the industrial part o.
the work being shown.
Winton had a fine exhibition or
Wednesday evening and the work
shown indicated that excellent
progress had been made. With the
new building next year the i'm
provement will be still more
marked.
The exhibit of the Ely schools
last evening was as good, if not
better, than can be shown by any
of the schools of the larger cities.
There was not as much of the man
ual training and shop work as in
former years but this is accounted
for in the fact that considerable of
the term was occupied by the pup
lis in getting the shop improved
and making necessary safety APP
planes and guards On the mach
inery. This took much of the
time heretofore employed in max
ing exhibition pieces.
Next Sunday evening at eight
O'Clock the Baccalaureate Services
will be held at the Auditorium.
The program includes sacred music
and an address to the graduating
class. Rev. Mapson will deliver
the sermon. Rev. Koivumaki and
Rev. Father Buh will also have a
part in the services. A cordial
invitation is extended to all to par
ticipate in these services.
The Winton Eighth grade pro-
motion exercises will take place on
Wednesday evening at the Torinus
Hall. On Thursday evening the
Ely Eighth grade will give their
promotion exercises at the Auditor
ium. Both programs begin at 8
o'clock.
Friday the annual school picnic
takes place at Sandy Point. Buses
will be provided as they have in
the past to convey children and
patrons to the grounds. Buses
will run from the Pioneer and
Central schools to Sandy Point.
They will not pick up passengers
under any circumstances when re-
turning to the buildings in the
morning. so those wishing to make
use of the buses will find it neces-
sary to be present at either of the
places mentioned. Buses will run
from about 8:45 as long as may be
necessary and will bring pupils and
patrons from the grounds to the
same points in the afternoon.
Lemonade will be provided, but
children will be expected to pro-
vide themselves ! with cups for
drinking and furs sh their lunches,
as well. 1t is hoped that as many
as possible will be able to join with
the schools in the closing events OF
the school year.
Friday evening, beginning at
SIS, the High School graduating
exercises will take place. A fine
program has been prepared for the
evening and DR.. M. S. Rice of Du-
luth will make the address of the
evening.
