The establishment of free zones at

JOBS FOR 4 1-2 MILLIONS

More than four and q half million
men and women were placed In jobs
by the United States Employment
Service during the sixteen months of
its operations. according to figures
made public yesterday.

ice. 'ft can readily be seen that IL the

aided in securing a job for each one
only one day sooner than otherwise
the saving to them and the country
during these sixteen months amounted
10 more than $10,0000 600"
The actual saving Is possibly two
or three times that amount accord
ing to Mr.. Densmore, since the mini
mum wage Is much higher and the
average loss of time in turnover is a
minimum of three to four days.

ian. The bill is aimed directly at the
public schools in their work Of caring
for the health Of the children. Its adj
vocates say that it is so safeguarded
that it will not cause any complica-
tions in case of epidemics, but the
writer believes that had it become

fluenza was on hundreds more would
have persisted from it in Hibbing and
other towns of the state. So had
to deny the request of many good
friends in Hibbing and vicinity and
vote against the bill.
An interesting feature of the de-
bate on this bill was the statement Of
Mr.. Hompe of Ottertail that Presi-
dent Burton of the state university
had written him letter endorsing
the bill. This statement caused
fury of handclapping in the crowded
galleries. The statement was i'm
mediately challenged by Elmer Ad-
ans of Ottertail, and investigation
developed the fact that Mr.. Hompe
had been deceived by a similarity of
names. The letter he had received
was from marion H. Burton" of
Hibbing, who as Mr.. Burrows ex-
planned to the house is of the "oppo-
site sex" to DIR. Marion L. Burton,
president of the state university The
incident had the house in an uproar
for time.
St. Louis Salary Raises.
Two st. Louis county salary bills
passed the house last week and are
now law. One of these raises the
county commissioners from $1,000
to $4,000 with $500 additional for
the chairman of the board. The
other increases Register Of Deeds
Charley Calligan from $500 to $4,-
900, similar increase for Clerk Of
Court Johnson, and an increase to
$4,000 for Judge of Probate Gilpin.
Increases are also provided by this
bill for each of the assistant county
attorneys, but no changes are made
in the salary of the auditor, treas
urer, sheriff or county attorney.
An increase from $1,000 to $4,000
for probation officers has passed the
house and is now pending in the SEN
ate. The Hibbing- Chisholm salary
bill has passed the house and is now
in the senate awaiting action, which,
it is expected, will be favorable.

lowing them to introduce their third
tonnage tax bill, after the others had
been decisively defeated, were polite
ly shown the door Tuesday afternoon.
The new bill proposed tax of five
per cent on the net value of "Mined
ore," exempted such mined ore from
the ad valorem or local tax and re-
duced the ad valorem assessment on
all other from so per cent to 33 and
1-3 per cent. This bill was the third
tonnage tax bill fathrered by C. M.
Bendixen of Redwood county this ses-
sion. The first one he abandoned
himself, the second was beaten in the
tax committee of the house, the third
died a-borning. Governor Burnquist' s
letter to Mr.. Bendixen refusing to
allow the bill to be introduced de-
clared that it would be most unwise
to start the practice of reintroducing

ways of both senate and house are

of people yearly visit to see one of
the most beautiful capitol buildings

President Wilson, on his return
from France, says he told the people
over there that the American soldiers
fought for ideals, for the rights of
others, for democracy. That's the
view as gathered from the books.
The American soldier went over
there to whip the kaiser. This was
the principal and predominating idea
in his head. He went to represent
the United States in the fight against
Germany for wrongs Germany had
inflicted on the people of the United
States. This was the thought of the
Yank who went overseas with his
gun, the fighting fellow we now refer

If our boys take their signatures as

time it will be the genuine thing
with no possibility of a chance of
wrong construction on the part
of the Germans. We have their
guns and that means that their "John

good as Liberty Bonds of the good

By R. w. HITCHCOCK,
Representative Goth, District.

business made a fatal mistake. The
state compensation insurance meas
ure was as much to the benefit of
business and it was to the advantage
of labor. On this measure Labor and
Business could have worked hand in
hand-and there is urgent need, in
these days, for business and labor to
work hand in hand. Business, as
usual, blocked the path to progress
and thereby added fresh fuel to
the flames of unrest that are already
burning altogether too fiercely here
as we'll as elsewhere. State COM
pensation insurance will be big is
sue in Minnesota in 1920.
What for the Soldiers?
One of the things that is causing
much speculation is what the legis-
lature will do for the soldier boys of
Minnesota. The finance committees
of the senate and house have been
working on this matter for the past
two weeks. The action taken by
other states has been studied in order
to evolve the most liberal measure
possible for Minnesota. It is thought
that there is no possibility of the pas
sage of the Welch-Dilley bill to ap-
propriate $10,O00,O0O in order to
give 500 to each Minnesota soldier.
Minnesota simply hasn't got the ten
million. The talk now is that the
provision will be made by tax levy
and by the issue of temporary GER
tificates of indebtedness in order to
provide a fund. The plan most
mentioned is the North Dakota plan
which is not a. lump cash bonus,
but bouns based upon length of
service and applied to the soldiers
education or to his purchase of a
home Or a farm. A definite plan
will probably be worked out this
week -
Not Vote Against 1t.
Senator Fred Bessette scored bril-
liantly when he put the Hibbing- CHS
holm salary bill through the senate
last week by vote of Al to O. The
bill had already passed the house by
unanimous vote.
No New State.
Following the defeat of the ton
mage tax bill, Charlie Bouck's bill
creating the state of Lincoln, in
Guiding all of Minnesota north of the
twin cities, was chloroformed in COM
mittee and put to sleep for the ses-
sion.
Congressman Visit.
Two Minnesota congressman Wis
tied us last week. Sidney Anderson
of the first district made. us a short
speech in the house, but Congress
man-elect Carss of Proctor confined
himself to pussyfooting. Mr.. Carss
is making an excellent impression
wherever he goes.
Paving Bill Passes.
The bill which will permit st Louis
county to begin paving at once
passed the senate last week after
much re-drafting by bond attorneys.
Senator Chas. Adams of Duluth, has
put lot of hard work on the measure
work without which st. Louis
county would not have been able to
go ahead at once with the work. The
bill passed the house some time ago,
but will have to be re-passed this
week owing to the amendments made
by the house. It will be re-passed
by the time this is printed So

A fellow signing himself Leonard
Erickson has written Wheelock's
Weekly at Fergus Falls deploring the
fact that the legislature failed to
pass the tonnage tax bill and he
soundly berates the members from
his county who voted against the
measure. The vision of Leonard
is clearly much shorter than his Ian
guage and is probably embraced by
the township lines in his immediate
vicinity. After the most intelligent
and fairminded men in the house had
pronounced the bill bare faced rob-
berry and calculated to make it un-
pleasant for large portion of the
progressive people of the state, he
comes out with the statement that the
bill was ''the best and fairest con-
ceived measure because it taxes
only the net value after allowing for
interest on investment for labor"
If Leonard will take his pen in hand
and tell us how much taxes he pays
on his farm and how much grain,
stock and taxable stuff he has on
hand on May 1st when the assess
ments are made, we will prove to him
that every forty acres containing a
mine in this country pays taxes year
ly in amount that would cover the
taxes on his forty acres of (high-
priced for sale and low-priced for
assessment) farming lands for the
coming $50 years, or more. Such
fellows as Leonard Erickson do not
intend to be fair. The idea is to
get something for nothing.
