St. Louis County

Though in 1913 direct state
taxes in Minnesota amounted to
nearly half million more than
the amount the state distributed to
the counties in school and road aid,
still eighty of the eighty-six
counties received from the state
more than they paid in state taxes.
This interesting fact is closely
associated with these other inter-
esting facts: That St. Louis
county paid i'll state taxes 81 u.s.
253.1e and received from the state
but 1921, 46S.17; that St. Louis
county paid into the state treasury
1868, 7S5.02 more than it got back;
that St. Louis county paid more
than twenty three per cent, or
almost one-quarter, of the total
state tax, and got back less than
six per cent of the total amount
distributed by the state. These
figures are from the biennial re.
port of State Auditor Iverson

Died at Duluth

William Morgan, more Familiarity
known an Billy the Painter"
died at the county hospital in Du-
luth Saturday of a complication of
troubles following a severe attack
of rheumatism with which he has
been a sufferer for several years.
Billy" left here about two months
ago for Duluth where he entered
the poor farm to spend his declin-
ing years. He was 81 years of age
and has been a resident of Ely
almost since the town began. He
followed the trade of sign painter
until sickness overlook him. He
had relatives in the east who have
been appraised of his death.

COUNTY DIVISION
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Viz.
ginia Monday Evening

Monday evening at Virginia
delegates from all the range towns
were present and plan was
formulated to put the division of
St. Louis county up to the legis-
lature in the shape of bill calling
for county division alone, the
location of the county seat and the
election of officers for the new
county to follow at later date.
The plan of Representative Scott
of Hibbing to divide the county
into three parts with one county
seat at Duluth. another at Virginia
and one at Hibbiug was voted down
by almost unanimous consent. 1t
was figured that the tri-county
plan would be suicidal to the
division of the county. This plan
was to form Iron county with Vir-
ginia as the county seat and Mesaba
county with Hibbing as the county
seat.
Attorney A. ]. Thomas of this
city was in attendance of the meet
ing and lent his efforts to the
division plan. He is quoted as
stating that Ely would favor the
division providing Ely was given
two terms of the District Court
yearly. A resolution was passed
following his address requesting
the range senators and representa-
tives 10 provide for the new terms
of court in this city.
The seEt 1T seems to pre-
dominate that county division
would be acceptable providing the
county seat and the election OF
county officers was eliminated from
the election. So far not much
sentiment has been developed in
this city either way but there is a
sentiment in favor Of bill by the
legislature making it possible for
the people of the county to vote on
the proposition without the present
entanglementS of naming the
county seat and the new officers
When the vote is taken it viii be
decisively proven whether county
division is wanted or not.

came a tangible quantity on the

To Quarantine the Rabbits

Thousands of wild rabbits in
northern Minnesota have become
infected with a mysterious disease,
according to reports received by
State Forester w. I. Cox at St.
Paul from forest rangers, and as
many rabbits are shipped from the
northern part of the state to twin
CITY markets, the state authorities
are apprehensive. A physician
near Duluth said the disease is
tubercular.
There is nothing the state fores-
ter can do. Whether the game and
fish commission, the dairy and food
commission, the state board OF
health or the state livestock sani-
tary board has jurisdiction he is
unable to determine, but will try
the food department first if the
animals are offered for sale.
One hunter reported that three
out of four rabbits he had killed
were infected. The disease re-

Permanent VS.. Dirt Roads

The time has come for correct def
nitions. When anyone says he iavors
good roads" ask him to define his
meaning. This season has demon
strated that no road is good road ex-
cept a hard surfaced road. That no
dirt read is a good road in wet weather.
No road is a good one unless it is trav'
elable in all seasons.
Experience has demonstrated that
no investment is quite so good as
permanently built hard surfaced roads.
No people who have experienced their
benefits would consent 10 have them
destroyed though twice their cost be
refunded. Their cost compared to
their benefits, is so small as not to ad-
nit Of argument. 1t has been esti'
matee that Saline county, Mo-, can
build Isl miles Of hard surfaced road
with a IS years bond issue at cost o!
about SIS to the quarter section OF
Of land-land worth $50 to 5000 per
acre. Such a bond issue will add
from SIS to $50 per acre to the
value OF the land. Saline county
has $4,000 acres Of improved farms
and the advanced value at SIS per
acre, il this system OF roads is made
will be $11,350,000. An average en-
hanced value Of SIS per acre is a
reasonable one and no land will be
more than 5 miles from an improved
road.
Experience has also demonstrated
that roads are valuable just in proper
ton as they go somewhere" A
cross county (interc county seat) road
is Of great valuae; a cross. state read
is Of much greater value; while q
transcontinental road is OF inconceiv'
able value. Building one cross-state
highway insures another, and latera
