Will Lower Taxes

The adoption of the ninth
Amendment, providing for state
forests, will lower our taxes. The
amendment will increase our school
fund and this will decrease our
school tax. 1t will also reduce
local as we'll as state taxes by
making many acres taxable pro-
perty which now pay but little
revenue.
In addition to the immense
amounts of farm land in Minnesota,
there are also areas of land which
will never be profitable for the
raising of farm crops. Most of
these lands either have been or are
still covered with forests. Under
our present method of cutting, no
attempts are made to perpetuate
the forest crop. But the Ninth
Amendment will authorize the
State to manage the state forest
lands according to forestry prin-
ciples. By not permitting the
cutting of trees under a certain
dimension, and by cutting in times
of favorable seed years, the forests
will be left in shape to reproduce
themselves.
State lands which otherwise will
become unproductive are kept, by
means of the 9th amendment. in
forest crops. With the good exam
pie set by the state, private corpor-
atoms will follow suit, and we
shall see the time when the nom
tillable lands in this state will be
producing timber as a permanent
crop.
Untillable lands producing tim
Der will pay big revenue which
will reduce the taxes on other
land.
The Ninth Amendment is a
cornerstone for a policy of this
kind. 1t stands for good business.
Not to vote at all is to vote against
it. Remember this November 3rd.

Case Re-Opened

Attorney General Smith has filed
petition with the supreme court
asking for either modification of its
findings in the Longyear lake bed
ore cases or the right to reargue
the case, Mr.. Smith says the state,
which was the winner in the con-
troversy. is still at sea as to its real
rights.
The case involved the ownership
of ore in the bed of lake operated
by the Euclid Iron Mining COM
pany and the White Iron Lake
Iron Mining company. These
concerns claimed the right to
divert the waters of the lake and
follow the vein from the shore line.
The supreme court ruled in the
states favor and held that the
rights of the mining company did
not extend beyond low water
mark.
In a measure this was a victory
for the state, but nothing was stat
ed in the opinion as to the actual
ownership of these lake beds.
This the state tried to have testi-
fed by compelling the company to
render an accounting for what ore
it did take below low water mark.
This accounting the supreme court
failed to order and the modification
asked is for that purpose.

rail pool. Mr.. Carnegie wrote a
letter to his company, which APP
peared on the minutes. stating that
the Illinois company was 10000
tons ahead of its proportion of the
steel rail business, and that it was
bad policy to allow the Carnegie
company's proportion of orders to
fall below that of others.
If you can fill next year at
present prices, you have at least
$40, 900. 900 proft-but it may be
$50, 900, 900. To want more than
that. seems wicked"
The court is asked to divide
under wholly independent owner,
ships the following companies con-
trolled by the Steel corporation:
The Carnegie Steel company OF
New Jersey, National Steel com
pany, American Steel Hoop com,
pany, American Sheet and Tin
Plate company, American Tin
Plate company, American Sheet
Steel company, Federal Steel com
pany. American Steel and Wire
company, National Tube company
Shelby Steel Tube company and
the American Bridge company.
The court is also asked to make
independent the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad company, the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern Rail
road company, the Tennessee Coal
Iron & Railroad company, Union
Steel company, and the Carlton
Steel company and that the coal
and oil properties of the United
States Steel corporation, other than
those of the Tennessee company,
be divided among the Clarion,
Union and New concerns to be
created in proportion to their capa-
city for the production of steel.
The court is further asked to
decree that Andrew Carnegie was
a party to the unlawful cornbina-
ton of properties through the
United States Steel corporation. "
Finally the court is asked to
appoint receiver to take over all
of the properties owned or controll-
ed by the United States Steel cor
poration and its subsidiaries for the
purpose of making effective the
decree of the court.

Road to Consolidated

The Iron Range railroad will be
extended to the Consolidated Yer
million property in the spring says
an authority on the subject. The
grading will be done this fall, the
Consolidated having awarded a
contract for the work. 1t is the
purpose to have the road ready to
serve the mine at the opening of
navigation, or very soon thereafter.
Thirty-four men are employed at
the Consolidated, and ore has been
opened at four levels. There are
IS men employed at the North
American, and they are getting out
about two tons of graphite ore to
the man each day.

SOME POLITICS MONDAY
Two Trains Representing Rival Candidates
to be Here at the Same Time.

Monday at II O'Clock the Repub-
lican train will arrive in Ely. On
this train will be VIM. E. Lee
candidate for Governor and all the
candidates for state offices accom-
panied by many high-ups in the
party. A reception is being ar
ranged for them and in all proba-
bility several of those accompany
ing the party will make addresses
from the rear of the train while at
the depot.
At 1910 the train carrying w.
S. Hammond for Governor on the
Democratic ticket will arrive. On
this train also will be the various
candidates for state Offices and also
Andrew Nelson who wishes to
represent this district in Congress.
A meeting has been arranged for
the Opera House at 1880 where
Messrs. Hammond and Nelson will
address the voters.
1t is unfortunate that both trains
sre here at the same time. How
ever it is hoped the weather will be
fine and that everyone that can will
turn out to greet the candidates
and thus from observation form an
idea of the several people wishing
to represent us.

Mud Greek Road

The crew of road makers under
Nick Nelson have been called off
from the work of building a road
in to the Mud Creek mines, having
completed the same. There is now
a good road for teams or automo-
biles from Tower to the mine.
This road will be found a great
convenience to the mine owners
and others as well. Coal may now
be hauled in from Eagles Nest by
team to the mine and lake trans
portation is ended. The new road
is about FIVE and a half miles in
length and leads off from the
Tower and Ely road near Eagles
Nest. Road work is going on in
other directions as formerly save
that on the Crane Lake portage
work is over for the season.

THE POWER OF WOMEN

In the court of Darius, the king,
once on time, there was a famous
debate as to the relative strength of
the king, of wine or of women. Wnen
it came time to reward honor in the
discussion, new question was in
jected which diverted the attention of
the king, so that the famous question
is still debatable.
But there was no reason to doubt
that the decision was in favor of wo-
men when they met the governor of
Colorado the other day in debate as
to whether he would apply to the
president at Washington for Federal
soldiers to save the lives of women
and children in that state.
They demanded that the governor
meet them. He said that he could
not. They insisted, and he went. He
said that he would not apply for
troops. They said he would, and he
did. They demanded that certain mill
tia officers be brought to Denver for
trial on charges of murder. He said
it could not be done. They said it
could be done, and it will be, for the
men are under arrest and are on their
way to Denver for trial. TIE women
won every decision.
And it was an extremely impressive
and instructive scene, that demand on
the part of the women of Denver.
They were outraged that the state
militia had fired on and killed a num-
Der of helpless and innocent women
and children in the strike region of
Colorado, and they assembled at the
state house one thousand strong, de-
handing that they be heard and stat
ing their intention of not leaving the
capital until the governor had acced-
ed to every one of their demands.
They waited in the assembly rooms,
sending committee after committee
to the governor stating and re-stating
their demands, and after twelve hours
of weary waiting on their part, while
the governor did all in his power to
defeat them, he capitulated and did
according to their desire.
ooh, King, live forever. Is it not
power of women the strongest who
can do these things ?"-Hiami Herald.
