The Duluth rip-saw., 1918-10-19

TWO HARBoRs, Oct. 1S.-(spe-
cial to the Rip-saw)-The people of
Lake county propose to cut for new
deal by electing Ira Foote for auditor
instead Of John Paulson.
Mr.. Foote is a locomotive engineer
on the D. & I. R. Mr.. Paulson has
been seated at the Lake county pie
counter for fully q quarter of CEN
tury. He first took q whirl at the
treasurership and then switched to
the authorship.
Like auditor Halden, in st. Louis
county, Mr.. Paulson now holds out
his hands for more.
Matters have come to such a pass
in Lake county that the county COM
missioners refuse to hold meeting
unless auditor Paulson and Hans C.
Hanson, supervisor of assessors, are
present.
Many maintain that Brothers Paul
son and Hanson are the real board
of county commissioners, to all in
tents and purposes. just as Odin Hal
den has been the real board in St.
Louis county.
Unlike Halden, Mr.. Paulson has
taken couple Of pleasure trips to
the Old Country, thanks to the kind
ness Of Lake county and, like Hal
den, he had some adventures with
money that was not his own, as well
as many hard wrestles with Old John
Barleycorn. The strong arm Of the
law at one time wiggled its fingers at
him but he lodged the call.
Like Halden In st. Louis county,
auditor Paulson in Lake county
never has been impatient or peevish
with the corporations. + His side
kicker, Hans 6. Hanson, also has
treated the poor, abused Fat Boys
with great consideration. Neither
Paulson nor Hanson make any at
tempt to revise assessments, thereby
doing justice to the people and the
dear old treasury. r.
In st. Louis county, Joseph G..
Helm, supervisor of assessments in
the hinterland, has boosted taxes Of
many lodging Fat Boys, rich In tim
berlands, and he has reduced taxes
of those Lean Boys who have been
paying too much.
In Lake county, last summer, when
Mr.. Hanson might have been inspect
ing timber belonging to the Oliver
Mining company, the d. & !. R., the
Alger-Smfth company, and others, he
was roaming around the dear old
county cleaning out springs and
hanging up tin sups for the conven-
ience and comfort Of those able to
roll here and there in gasoline cars
and buggies. .-s,t
Those springs and Ntin cups may
have been sine qua NON, as Gen.
eral Dwan might say, for the tour
lists. but they did not make much of
hit with the settlers who were dig
ging stumps, wedding spuds, fighting

BROOKS GETS SEVEN YEARS
IN WAUPUN PRISON.

Archibald j. Brooks has been
sentenced to serve seven years at
Waupun by a Judge at Lacrosse,
Wis. The culprit stole an auto
mobile from John L. Hoffweber in
the Wisconsin city. When ar
rested in Duluth for the murder
of George Marshall some weeks
ago, Brooks confessed to the theft
of the car and was taken to La
Crosse, thereby getting far from
Duluth. Although he presented
an alibi, the general feeling has
been that Brooks shot Marshall
while the latter was amoursly in
tent on Mrs. Brooks, a waitress,
with whom he was out walking on
West Second st.
Today, the Marshall murder is
an unsolved mystery. There is a
strong feeling that local police
authorities bungfed the matter
and, for some reason, failed to dig
deeply and effectively into the
facts in the case.
Brooks is "a years old and has
been in trouble before. He
burglarized a store at Two Har-
bors a few years ago and received
a reformatory sentence.

flies and fearing fires in the back
woods.
The D. & I. R. and Oliver Mining
company have lands and timberlands
in Lake county that are much more
lightly assessed than small posses
sions belonging to private individ-
uals.
There is the finest body Of spruce
and tamarac in northern Minnesota,
belonging to the Big Interests. The
Cloquet Tie and Post company gets
the benefit of this stumpage. The
D. & I. r. has run spur 21 miles
long from Wales, near mile post ~,
through townships SILL, 56-11, 81
II, $40 and ,58-9. This timber is
hauled out to Hornby station, on the
D. & I. R., where it is transferred to
the Duluth & Northeastern railroad
and taken to Cloquet for utilization
by the struggling Weyerhaeuser boys
in their sawmills and paper mill.
Much, if not all these timber prod
ucts, becoming personal property
after being cut, escape taxation en-
tirely, at least so far as Lake and
St. Louis counties are concerned.
What happens in Carlton county, only
God, the Fat Boys and the assessor
seem to know.
Lake county gets a little skim
milk in the form of taxes on cutover
lands. The Fat Boys leave the
stumps and stones for the soldiers
after they get home from France.
Cloquet river, right now, is filled
with ties and pulpwood because there
are no. cars in which to carry them
to Cloquet. A spur has been graded
