If the big mining companies can
afford to pay dollar and ten cents
per ton royalty to private individuals,
it is about time the state woke up to
the necessity Of getting more than
twenty-five cents per ton. The state
should share in the general prosperity.
-Mapleton Enterprise. -.
Probable the Enterprise is laboring
under the impression that the state is
contracting it's iron ore for rs cents
per ton at the present time. But such
is not the case. At the suggestion of
the writer, at the session Of 1907, Hon.
Henry Rines, state treasurer-elect, in
troduced bill, which passed, repeating
the mineral lease law, and since that
time no mineral leases or contracts
have been issued by the state. Prior
to the enactment Of the Rines repeal
ing act royalty of rs cents per ton
for iron ore taken from state land was
exacted by the state, and mining con-
tracts issued by the state prior to 1907
are on the rs cents per ton basis.
When a new mineral lease law is
enacted the royalty will undoubtedly
be much higher than under the old
law.

That the country at large would
never miss the Congressional Record
if it were abolished is pretty generally
conceded. A Washington correspon.

E'It owes it's frivolous existence to the
vanity Of senators and members. 1t
promotes garrulity, and hides a grain
of real debate in a mountain of chaff
that nobody every reads except the
orator and his family, if he has one,
and the printer, who can't help him
self. Abolish the Record, and debates
in the two houses of congress will
amount to something. Everything
said, worth preserving, will be printed
in the newspapers, as is the case in
England, and speeches will be made to
convince congress, not for buncomb,
as most of them now are. But it is
perquisite, and, like all perquisites.

"Old Man Kelley" of the Menahga

"Old Man Kelley" of the Menahga
Journal wants to know why the proper
officials Of the counties through which
the Jefferson Highway passes were not
notified Of the recent meeting Of the
State Highway Commission. The only
notice given any one was through the
columns of the twin city daily news
papers. Furthermore, the Highway
Commission is not recommending Fed
eral aid for road in any county unless
provision is made by the county seek
ing aid to meet it with a like amount
dollar for dollar. The counties for
which Federal aid was recommended
have guaranteed the Highway Com
mission that they are prepared to COM
ply with the requirements Of the law
governing the granting of Federal
aid. Mile Laos county has voted
bonds for that purpose.

Governor Burnquist will have sew

the most important places at the
governors disposal is that of in

AN OUTSIDERS OPINION.

Not for the purpose of self-glorifca-
ton but to show what outsiders think
Of Mile Laos county's investment in
road Improvement we reproduce the
annexed article from the editorial COL
umns of the Duluth News-Tribune:
A GOOD INVESTMENT.
Bob" Dunn won great victory
at this last election. We do not refer
to the election Of Mr.. Kellogg, which
is due first of all to Mr.. Dunn's per-
sonal influence and political sagacity,
but to the voting Of road bonds by
Mile Laos county.
This is the far more important
victory to Mr.. Dunn and his home
folks and we suspect it was harder
to "put over" To induce a county
that is wholly agricultural, with many
small rival villages and no community
larger than is Princeton to vote $75-
600 in bonds for roads is task to
make Hercules hesitate.
But it was done and the county will
get from the state and federal govern
ment a sum equal to the bonds to use
to complete the road system. The
roads are there, they only need to
have proper top put on them. They
are now like house without any roof.
We predict that this bond issue will
not increase the county tax rate. More
than that, we predict that it will not
increase any property owners taxes.
They will have to find their tax in
creases from other causes.
Moreover, it is as certain as tomor-
row that Mile Laos county never did
anything for it's own betterment that
will return as many fold in benefits,
and that Mr.. Dunn, Of all the many
things he has done for his home peo-
pie, never promoted anything that
will equal this in permanent, constant
ly increasing benefit for all the county.
" Mile Laos should now select its
most important highway and should
name it the. e'Dunn Road" in honor
not alone Of its own, but Of Minneso-
ta's foremost promoter Of good roads.

cents on a properly improved road, but
this is not all the story. The direct
cost is very great and the indirect
costs are possibly even greater. With
bad roads the farmer is compelled to
haul when he should be engaged in
other activities, while with good roads
he can plan his operations without
reference to the weather. The states
and the local units, as has been init
mated, have strikingly recognized
these truths by greatly increasing
their appropriations and by devising
better machinery.

Who is responsible for sending {

Who is responsible for sending a
gang of Federal slueths into Minnesota
to secure an honest count Of the bal
lots cast at the recent election? It was
an unnecessary proceeding and was
done for effect. If Hughes has one
more vote than Wilson he will get the
electoral vote Of Minnesota, and vice
versa, if Wilson has one vote the most
he will have the state. Minnesota s
election officials are perfectly compe-
tent toicanvass the vote of the state
without the interference of intermed-
ding outsiders. 49, =

The Heron Lake News attributes
the election of socialist as mayor of

ties might unite to defeat the social
