Members of the state legislature
were left gasping Monday night after
listening to startling disclosures of
the scale of expenditures that pre-
walls in few of the iron range
municipalities. The surprise was
sprung at a hearing on the bill of
Representative Harrison to limit the
expenditures of villages and cities of
capita yearly.
TO senators and representatives
who come from communities where
the average per capita expenditures
are only trifle over SIS, the disclos-
ures were particularly startling. The
fact that there was a demand for
such a bill was to the lawmakers a
revelation in itself
Here are some of the charges
made:
"That in the ten cities and vii
lagos in st. Louis county having a
mineral valuation the average tax
levy per capita for the past nine
years has been more than ten times
the levy in the six cities and villages
where the residents pay the taxes
they levy.
"That in 1914, 14O cities and viii
lagos in the state outside the range
country, all put together, levied a
smaller total in taxes for municipal
purposes than the ten St. Louis coun-
ty mineral communities, although &C
cording to the 1910 census the popu-
lation of the former was 100000 and
Of the latter less than $4,000.
"That in Hibbing, where there
were 1913 votes at the last general
election, there has been an average
of $50 persons, or a majority of the
voters, on the village payroll during
the last fourteen months.
THAT in Mountain Iron, with pri-
vate buildings valued at less than
$55,000, there are public buildings
valued by the assessor at $15S,OO0,
since which time the village has par
TALLY erected a $4,000 library and
has attempted to build $4,000 vii
lage hall.
"That in the village of Gilbert, be-
fore it took in some mines, levied
$1,000 annually, and that though in
annexing mining property it only in
creased it's population by one-third,
in 1914 it's municipal levy jumped to
$4,000.
"That the village of Hibbing in
1913 and 1914 levied a village tax
of $4,000, and spent in the latter
year Sligo, 733.76, and had on Feb.
l outstanding unpaid village war
rants amounting to $1,252,596.13."
Now think of Bemidji with it's levy
of but $4,000. Won't somebody
please find a mine within the city
limits.

just as the Eagle predicted, s those
defeated candidates for state posi-
tions who let themselves down easy
by contesting the election of their
successful competitors-these are
now clamoring for the state to reim-
burse them for the expenses. which
they foolishly and uselessly took up

no right to squander the taxpayers
money in compliance with these de-
mands. But, undoubtedly, they will,

ORDER IN COUNCIL

Important Negotiations Regarding U.

Especial Correspondents Of The Washington Herald)
London. May 13.-lmportant communi-
cations are still passing between the for
eign ONCE and the United States govern
ment respecting the British blockade of
Germany's ports. The British Embassy
at Washington and the State Department
are now working out details of a scheme
to obviate. as far as possible. unneccs-
sary detentions of American ships.
This step IL in accordance with the
promise in the British note transmitting
the order in council that everything
to facilitate American commerce not in
consistent with the purpose of the allies
to prevent supplies from reaching Ger
many and Austria would be done. The
foreign office is preparing an additional
set of rules to meet the suggestions of
Washington.
Another question under negotiation is
the proposed modification of the block
ade to permit the United States to con-
tinue to import dye stuffs from Germany.
The German government is understood
to be willing to allow shipments of ami
lines to the United states provided Great
Britain agrees to modification of the
blockade in respect to noncontraband
PRODUCTS such as cotton consigned to
Germany.

TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYERS
STRONGEST WEAPON OF u. S.
Navy Department Officials Believe They Would Be Most Valuable
Asset in Case of War with Germany-Could
Change Situation in Europe.

those seas open. the torpedo destroy
ers of the United States would have
to assist in hunting the German sub
marine fleet out of the English Chan
mel and out of the other waters of
her alleged blockade zone.
This. it was alleged, did not mean
that the United States would be for
mally an ally of Great Britain and
her allies. but that the President
would be simply utilizing the torpedo
destroyers to make good his opinion
that Germany's present methods Of
attack were not justifable under in
ternational law.
Strong Force of Destroyers.
THE torpedo destroyer force of the
United States alone" said an official
would change the whole character of
the situation in the approaches to the
ports Of Great Britain through ST
Georges Channel or the North Sea ap-
proaChes.
I'VE have siXty-two torpedo boat de-
stroyers ready to be sent on any mis-
sion. They are the only war vessels of
which submarines are afraid They are
the natural enemies of submarines. and
the submarine knows that.
1T goes without saving. therefore, that
the first act of the United States if the
President means to protect American
commerce, would be to transfer our great
force Of torpedo boat destroyers into
the very scene of operations of the Ger
man subma rines and sweep them out OF
the way of American free ships and free
goods. Frankly. however, We do not think
that the future situation will make this
necessary. If it should be necessary,
there would be plenty time to determine
other units of the fleet would be
available in the alleged submarine war
zone"
The Washington herald., 1915-05-14

Officials of the Navy Department and
War Department are discussing infor-
mally what would be the duty of either
branch OF the service in case Germany
provoked war with the United States.
The opinion has crystallized that the
best available asset of this government
for the safeguarding of American ships
ports of neutrals would be the sixtytwo
swift. welI-armed torpedo boat destroy
erS of the navy.
The army are not considering seriously
the utilization of the army for the reason
that its use might necessitate an actual
offensive and defensive alliance between
the United States and the allies, as the
United States troops would have to CO.
operate with the troops of the allies on
the battlefields of Europe.
"Rendy." Says Navy.
On the navy side while they do not
expect war but further diplomacy. the
shibboleth is. as usual, we are always
ready"
1t is seen plainly by navy officials
that Great Britain has been obliged
to use her torpedo boat destroyers to
protect her transport ships from Ger
man submarines. and they also see
that such a condition may last for a
very long time.
The real and sole protection for
American ships. and even for Brltisa
ships with noncombatants on board
against German submarines, would be
the American torpedo boat destroyer
force
That is the inevitable conclusion
from the opinion among navy people
that the President means that he
will keep an open sea for free ships
and free goods and holds that nom
combatants on British vessels of COM
merce should not be attacked.
1t is stated that in order TO keep
