"Fall in" is an old military com mand. originating in the idea of glv- ing up individuality, and becoming part of the military machine, when in line.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
BY R. w. HITCHCOCK.
Representative Goth District.

what it can grab from Northern Min
nesota today.
Let's Pave Now
With the approval Of the state
highway commission bill has been
introduced this week which makes
it possible for any county to begin
at once paving the roads in the pro-
posed state trunk highway system.
This bill authorizes the county board
of any county to issue county bonds
and carry the pavement to con-
clusion, no matter how long it takes,
the state to reimburse the county
for the total cost after January l,
1921. st. Louis county, under this
act, will be able to begin work at
once on the 256 miles of the state
trunk highway system within it's
boundaries. At conference last
Saturday between the commissioner
of highways and his assistants on
the one hand and County Road En-
gineer R. w. Acton, several mem
bers of the st. Louis county board
and the writer on the other, this mat
ter was thoroughly threshed out.
1t now simply remains for the county
to undertake the work. If public
sentiment in st. Louis county favors
the project st. Louis county will be-
gin this year to get its paved roads,
and they will be pushed through to
completion as fast as possible--all
at no expense to the county except
the interest on the bonds. If public
sentiment is not favorable, and the
county does not undertake the work,
the state will take over these ESQ
miles of St. Louis county roads in
1921 and it may be 10 years, may
be more, after that before they are
paved.
Delegations from every commu-
nifty in st. Louis county should be
present at the March meeting of the
county board and commercial clubs
and other civic bodies should voice
their sentiments at once. If the
people do not act, nothing will be
done.
Legislation in Making
comitmtee is one (? (!I'
The Workmen's Compensation
committee is one of the hardest
worked committees in the legislature.
Several public hearings have been
held on bills to create state COM
pensation insurance, to raise the
maximum amount and also the
maximum percentage of his wages
that an injured worker may receive,
etc. These hearings have been held
in the house chamber which was
crowded with labor leaders, insurance
agents and employers and their at
torneys. The committee has been
bombarded with facts and figures
from both sides until its members
cuss the fellow that invented
figures. Several of these bills will
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-02-28

turn them over to settlers at a
small rental. For every acre cleared
means more taxable values for the
state. 1t means cheaper foodstuffs.
Every acre cleared means an acre
less for wolves to breed on and hence
better conditions for the raising of
sheep and live stock, Each new acre
means few hundred more bushels of
potatoes and vegetables. It would
be a business proposition on the
part of the state to place these ma
chimes in the hands of those who are
struggling along clearing land with
axe and grub hoe. We are not a
tractor agent but merely plugging
for a more general use of useful
machine which will benefit all of us
as well as the man who owns one.
Their price is not prohibitive for a
wonder and cost less than the
average car.

The Lakes-to-the-ocena canal prop
osition which is being exploited in
the papers took another stride for
ward this week when steps were TAX
en- to begin on a preliminary survey
of the proposed route. The first
wedge has been inserted and an
opening made. Ely is interested in
this great engineering feat as well
as thousands of other cities, for it

AS we have said before, it is the next
great feat to be accomplished, and
must become fact of accomplish
ment within few years. We need
it. It can be done and it will. The

Senator Bessette plans to make
his revised land clearing bill special
order for Thursday Of the week in
the senate. The bill allows counties
to clear considerable tracts Of land
for settlers who are to repay the
county over term of years. 1t is
a piece of Legislation of great inn
portancel to all Northern Minnesota.
Another measure of primary inn
portance is Senator Gifts bill to re-
wise the drainage laws and make con-
troll Of food waters possible, aid
ing navigation, supplying power and
preventing damage from floods.
Many think that unless mod
flied form of party conventions ap-
plicable to state officers is restored
to the statute books the Nonpar-
tisan league, which hollers itself
hoarse for, the primary principle but
which uses the convention and party
caucus principle exclusively
think5that unless this is done, allow
ing the opposition to the Nonpartisan
league to formulate and propose
constructive program of the
league, the League, absolutely
united while all the rest of US are
working at cross purposes, will win
in Minnesota in 1920. This is the
principal argument for the Warner
primary law amendment which will
be made special order soon in the
house.
The house spent all Of last Thurs
day passing the bill to give all en-
ployed in state institutions an eight
hour day and all of last Friday in
passing bill forbidding the use of
Oleomargarine in state institutions.
Oratory flowed like beer ~before the

The pros and cons from Itasca
county fairly crowded the house
chamber to the walls last week at a
public hearing on Representative

tax in Itasca county. Later, with
the support of the Nonpartisan league
Mr.. Herreid got the bill favorably re-
ported and it is now on general or
ders. 1t is reported that the con-
tending parties will compromise the
matter and that the bill will be
dropped.

Seems. like that about all these
anarchists, socialists, ct al of their

man rather than to build up some
thing better. Search history and

and see what good socialism has ever
done for the country. Find out, if
you can, what they are after that
will ever be any good to themselves
or anyone else. Their whole rotten
history smells to high heaven and is
a disgrace to them if they had any
sense to recognize it. Put a finger
on any good act the socialists ever
did. Show us the railroad they ever
built. Take us to the mine they ever
opened. Tell us where there was a

steals all the thunder and all the
viciousness of the Nonpartisan

that the test in the house will come

features of which are these: A
super tax of four per cent on the
net value of ore at the mouth of the
mine with reduction in the present
assessment rate of so per cent of
the value of the ore to 33 and one

The flag maker is getting but lit

what was once Old Glory. The mast
heads over the city look much like a
tramp's laundry rather than a dis
play of our ideals of the flag of our
country. With the wear and tear of
months of storms, sunshine and rain,
many of these flags couldn't flag a

inference that our flags were the
least of our thoughts.
