REDS SCORED
Copper Country Films Talk Straight
From Shoulder

Representatives of nearly every
Finnish family in the Copper
country gathered there Sunday and
after parade of the principal
streets. in which American flags
occupied conspicuous places, and
banners warning agitators to leave
the district were carried, held a
monster massmeeting in the Calu-
met armory, in protest against the
activity of so-called red Social
lists and labor agitators, who are
charged with giving the Finnish
people black eye among employ
ers of labor because of arousing
class and labor discomfort.
The addresses were made in
Finnish by examiners rehearsing
the unkept promises made during
the strike of 1913, by labor agita-
tors.
Gust HANNA, miner, the
chairman, quoted Governor Ferris
words, spoken during the gov
ernor's Intellectual attempts to
bring the strike to an end, saying:
Red Socialism is the root of all
the trouble in the Copper country"
He declared that the work of the
agltators can be found in dozens
of Finnish homes, where women
and children are starving because
their husbands and fathers have
followed the doctrines of Red"
Socialism. A recitation of the
wrongs, it is alleged. the Finnish
people suffered during the strike at
the hands of the agitators, reused
the Unconditional Firms to a frenzy
of excitement and speakers voiced
the determination of the Firms to
drive out the agitators, at all costs.
A big feature of the massmeet-
ing was the address in English by
John A. Doelle of Houghton,
superintendent of schools, who
told the Finnish people they must
drive the agitators from this dis
trict, by fair means, if possible,
but if not, to employ any means,
fair or foul, and that they must do
this for their own peace and con-
tentment.
Resolutions were adopted citing
the wrongs alleged to have been
forced upon the Finnish nationality
by the Socialist agitators and de-
claring the intention of forcing the
agitators to leave. 1t is claimed
that 80 per cent of the 10000
Finnish residents of the Copper
counties, Houghton. Keeweenaw,
Ontonagon and Baraga, are in
sympathy with the movement to
Gust the agitators.
An ousting committee could also
do some business right here in
Ely.

and general looking after"

Through the questions of Repre-
sentative Harrison of Washington,
civil engineer contractor of many
years experience, it developed that
the state has not the reports of
drillings and maps that the public
interest requires it should have.
The absolute necessity of having
these was illustrated by Inspector
Wildes, who discussed property
corners" where it was possible
through lack of data for the state
to fail to collect thousands of
dollars in the course of a year.
The chief inspector told how
monuments had disappeared and
that something should be done at
once about locating lines and SUR
veys in order, as he put it to put
the state on an equality with the
mining operators.
He continued: 1t is our duty
to see that the maximum tonnage
is produced from each of the state
properties, but without the appli-
ances, the reports, the drill records,
this duty cannot be fully perform
ed. We have some maps, of
course. representing money beyond
words. because if destroyed, they
could not replaced. We must
have freproof vaults for them and
we must also have more maps, as 1
have already said. We also need a
chemist. We also need a building
for his work. We now have to
paw IS cents for each test to the
University of Minnesota.
1t was at this point that Repre-
sentative Harrison made such
parliamentary moves as practically
assures the mining bureau both a
chemist and a laboratory. But
1 want it understood" Harrison
said, that l don't want somebody
taken out of the university for this
work, and / want it fixed that way
in the bill, somehow. You will
notice that here one part of our
state government has been paying
the state university for this test
ing"

crudely gotten together. These
reasons were advanced by those
who had taken the trouble to read
the same. These men voted their
convictions and are to be commend
ed for the stand they took. The
Miner took the stand that the new
charter was about thousand per
cent better than the old one and
that it should have been carried
after which the minor inaccuracies
could have been corrected.
We are only one and the major
ity held that the affair was n. e.
and needed killing. And killed it
was. Now we are just exactly
where we started from and while
Ely needed a new charter badly it
looks very much as if we were not
to have it. However, we will say
right here. With the resignation
of a few of the members from the
charter board and the appointment
of few others to take their places
and the expert doctoring of the
document submitted to the people
on last Tuesday, a very good char
ter could be made and one that
probably would carry. We would
recommend that the charter board
hold meeting in the near future,
ask for the resignation of several
of it's members and the appoint
ment of others and proceed to build
charter to be submitted to the
people a year from now. The
rush and excitement killed the
other.
Naturally. we will be accused OF
grating and that we take this
stand for the printing there is in it
We advocated the adoption of the
other charter. If it was an extra
lot of printing we wanted it would
have been our business to advocate
the slaughter and the preparation
of new one. Then again, why
should we not have all the print
ing we can get. We are here for
the purpose and can do the work.
can do the work. Let us be
frank about it.
The expense of getting up a new
charter and getting it before the
people is also no light subject. II
is safe to presume that the ex,
penses on the deal of Tuesday will
amount to over $4,000. The same
was gone through several years age

STATE INTERESTS
States Wealth ON the Iron Ranges
Shown Up

The mining activities of Mime
sofa were set forth at length before
the house committee on appropria-
tons, and the remarkable part OF
the efforts of State Auditor Preus
and Chief Mining Inspector F. A.
Wildes of Hibbing, was that when
they had finished, the committee
not only agreed to vote to let the
bureau of mines have the $32, OOC
it was asking for $4,000 more
than two years ago., but on top OF
that Representative Steen OF
Winona obtained the promise OF
favorable consideration for an ad
ditional appropriation bill for the
bureau of S3S, 225.
1t was shown conclusively that
the states interests had suffered
for lack of funds wherewith to
carry on the work of the bureau on
the ranges. When it developed
that the state was forced time and
time again to borrow one thing and
another of the mining companies.
Representative Steen, a singularly
faithful and efficient legislator, re-
marked: The state has no bust
ness to borrow; it ought to have
at least as good equipment in that
country IS mining companies. AS
long as the chief inspector says it
would be economy in the long run
to give his bureau enough money
to. properly equip it, just once,
shall vote for anything that will
bring that result about
Representative Bjorge, author of
tonnage tax legislation at more
than one session, was a keen
listener to every word spoken by
Chief Inspector Wildes.
The latter said that May /, 1914,
there were 1900, 100000 tons of
merchantable ore on the ranges of
Minnesota. The state held in fee
IA 100000 tons of this total and
that its leases to operators were on
royalty basis of rs centa a ton.
The states income, he said, from
this source was substantially

REPETITION of the Hinckley and
Baudette disasters than to cripple
the efficiency of the Forest Service.
The Forest Service is to Our forests
what the fire department is to the
city, and true economy would
seem to demand its adequate sup
port.
This refers to the serious reduc-
ton of the Forest Service budget
from S15O,OOO to $40, 900 a year.
This would be a calamity. 1t
would in effect kill the Service.
The Forest Service through its
rangers has saved the state hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
annually. 1t has protected the
forests from fire, compelled the
lumber companies to burn their
slaeh, and rendered settlers homes
comparatively safe in timbered dis
tricts. In has reforested waste
lands in Itasca, Burnside and
Pillsbury State Forests, and inaug-
urated a progressive forest policy
in the State. This work must
not be destroyed.
All are requested to write today
to all the senators and representa-
tives you know and to Senator
Rockne, Chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee and to L. c.
Spooner. Chairman of the House
Committee. Urge favorable action
on the budget requested by the
Forest Service.

CHARTER LOST
People Of Ely Did Not Raify
Work Of Commission

The charter election Tuesday
developed considerable interest and
the voting was brisk. Early in
the game it was anticipated that
the vote would be light but by
noon things were warmed up and
the interest had increased to heat
which looked like a three to one
defeat for the measure. However
it was not quite that bad and the
charter proposition lost by just 4o
votes. The total vote cast was just
little short of the largest votes
polled in this city on previous
years and clearly indicated that
people were alive.
We will not attempt to give the
numerous stories set afoat by the
opposition to encompass the defeat
of the measure, but they were
many and in some cases simply
awful. The usual Democratic and
Republican campaigns had nothing
on the charter election in regard to
the calamity bowls that were set
afoat by some whose identity is a
mystery.
One of the stories was to the ef-
feet that should the new charter be-
come law the whole burden of
taxation would be shifted from the
present overtaxed property owner
in the city to the mines and that
would cause these institutions to
cut the wages of their employees.
A third ward saloonkeeper was not
satisfied with the wages of the
aldermen and stated that his ward
could furnish a hundred men to do
the work at the present munifcent
salary of $50 per year. While this
may be true, which we doubt, it
nevertheless remains fact that we
would only have $50 aldermen

ing 100000 or more annually

These cheap stories were not the
main circumstances that defeated
the charter. Many expressed the
opinion that not enough time had
