Nearly all matters of peculiar in

St. Louis county in general are

king some changes in regard to cases
which may be tried on the range, is
still pending. Duluth attorneys are
fighting this bill, but it is believed

soon will be, however, and it is
thought that it will pass although the
opposition to it is most strenuous.
Here is another instance in which
the solid opposition of the Nonparti-
san league is making trouble.
Prejudice in the Saddle.
In this connection it may be said
that deepseated prejudice against
the "steel trust" puts serious obsta-
cles in the way of everything that
any member of the legislature from
st. Louis county attempts to accom-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-04-18

plish. There is nothing new in this,
of course. 1t is situation that has
existed for years. For political pur-
poses this prejudice is aggravated in
every possible way by the Nonparti-
san leaguers and by the st. Paul
Daily News. The league paper
brands the freight reduction petition
as "steel trust move," although, as
a matter of fact, the steel trust will
actually reap large profit if the Pc
tition fails. The st. Paul Daily
News refers to the writer as ''the
representative from the Goth district

bling being "steef trust territoryw
The End at Hand.
Before my next letter is published
the legislature will have adjourned.
It has been an important session.
Some good work has been done.
Foolish and vicious legislation has
been less in evidence, perhaps, than
usual. A prominent state official,
long member of Minnesota's official
family, said the other day, ''It has
been the most smoothly working leg
islature I have known"

The bill introduced in the legisla-
ture this week to pay the returned
!, soldier $500 a month for his time
of service is the proper step and
should become law without an OPP
posing vote. The boys need the help
and should have it. We are of the
opinion that this would be far more
appreciated token than any men,
orial that could be erected. The bill
calls for the payment for the pur-
pose of buying home or the ed
ucation of the soldier and could not
be used for any other purpose. Nat
urally, there will be some howl over
this as many in the legislature are
laboring under the impression that
hogs and cattle and farms is about all
there is to life. There is one thing
absolutely certain however, had the
boys not gone across to curb the
murderous Hun, the hogs and cattle
and farms would about at this time
be soft pickings for the Kaiser's pet
kidnapers, rapers and reapers. Moth
ing is too good for the soldier boy
and one of the richest states in the
Union should not be slow in recog-
nizing this fact. Cut out few ses-
sions of the legislature, we have laws
enough anyway, and pay the soldiers
the money thus saved. Besides, we
possibly could worry along with a
few less state boards, bank examiners
oil inspectors and a few other Of
fetal barnacles infesting the capitol.

A newspaper man can say nice
things about man, can puff up his
business, compliment every member
of his family, lie like sinner to help
a man out of his mistakes, but if a
two line item gets into the paper that
don't strike the mans vanity, or if
the newspaper man don't conduct his
private and public business according
to Mr.. Mans idea, he forgets all the
favors the newspaper man has done
for him and goes on the war-path
knocking against the paper. There
is one beauty in this kind of knocking
it generally makes some other fellow
your friend.-Levang's Weekly.

St. Paul, April 16,

OI. I dul, ApIll 1o.
The legislature will finish it's work
one week from today, Wednesday of
next week being the last day for the
passage of bills. Final adjournment
will take place the day following at
noon.
Out of the 1900 bills introduced
in the House and nearly as many in
the senate, about 800 have thus far
been made into laws. AS many
more will probably be passed in the
few remaining days of the session,
but hundreds will die on general or
ders and on the calendar in each
chamber. Since last Monday three
sessions a day has been the rule in
each house-and each session is
steadily growing longer. The Senate
still has a number of important
measures to consider, but the House
is practically cleaned up on all the
big issues of the session.
Let's Pave NOW.
A notable event of the past week
for St. Louis county, and in fact
for every county in the state, was
the final passage and signing by the
governor of the road bill which will
enable any county in the state to go
ahead at once with paving the roads
on the proposed Estate Trunk High
way System" This bill will enable
st. Louis county to hold an election
at once to authorize the issuance of
some 100000 in bonds, which
sum will be necessary in order to
pave the 256 miles of the state trunk
system in the county. The bill
which permits this work was passed
in the house some time ago, but it did
not prove to be satisfactory to the
attorneys for the bonding COM
panies. Senator Charles Adams of
Duluth spent great deal of his
time and work going over the matter
with the bonding companies and
working out the bill which would be
satisfactory to them. The senate
then passed this amended bill a week
ago. The amendments necessitated
its re-passage by the house. This
was accomplished last Friday after
sharp fight, the opposition object
ing to the feature of the bill which
permits counties to bond up to $780,
900 without vote of the people.
This bill, which is now law, re-
moves the last obstacle to paving
st. Louis county NOW.
Nonpartisans Mulish.
The % Nonpartizan league men,
bers have been exerting more in
fiuence on legislation during the past
two weeks than at any time in the
session. They vote solidly on nearly
all questions, being instructed just
how to vote at secret caucusses held
two or three times week. If any
matter comes up on which they have
no instructions they vote "No" just

to be on the safe side. An example
of the influence exerted recently by
the Nonpartisan league was the de-
feat last week of the bill to require
all official notices to be published in
newspapers printed in the English
language. The Nonpartisans cast
% solid votes against this bill, and
the first man to congratulate the
leader of the opposition to the bill
was certain German member of the
house. 1t is interesting to remember
in this connection that foreign Ian.
guage newspapers did not used to
be qualified to publish legal notices,
but several years ago one Albert
Pfaender, a German from New Ulm,
then a member of the legislature and
only recently removed from his office
in Brown county because of his hos
tile attitude toward America in the
war-several years ago this Hun, in
the confusion of the very last hour
of the legislative session slipped
through "woodchuck" making for
eign language newspapers legal pub
locations. The bill mentioned above
was intended to undo the work of
the German Pfaender, but owing to
the solid opposition of the Nonparti-
san league, it failed Of passage.
Socialists Active.
Socialist members of labor organ
izations have been very active in St.
Paul this winter. They pack all
labor meetings, stir up trouble on
every possible occasion and are al
ways causing some sort of uproar. A
recent meeting of the st. Paul Trades
and Labor Assembly was packed by
these "Reds" as they are called here
in st. Paul. Three labor members
of the house, McGrath, Ryan and
Waters, who had voted against the
tonnage tax, were asked to explain
their vote at this meeting. A res
olution condemning them for their
vote on the tonnage tax was intro
duced but failed of passage. After
the meeting adjourned and after
many had left the hall, the Reds and
others again called the meeting to
order, put the resolution a second
time and declared it carried. The
incident has created quite an uproar
in labor circles here. A feature of
the meeting just mentioned was the
ejecting from the hall of the Nom
partisan league reporter who reports
the doings of the legislature for the
"Nonpartisan Leader" the league
paper.
Clever Piece of Work.
The Hibbing- Chisholm salary bill,
granting compensation to the trus-
tees of the villages of Hibbing and
Chisholm and to the supervisors of
Stuntz and Balkan, became a law
when it was signed by the governor
last week. The bill did not have a
single negative vote in either house
and was signed by the governor with

A movement gained some head
way last week to have the state &C.
quire the strip of pine timber be-
tween the range and Duluth on the
old Vermilion trail. The strip of
timber approximates 80 forties and
is about as fine a lot of pine timber
as can be found in the county. The
proposition to have this kept as an
illustration of what was, is meeting
with the hearty support of everyone
in the county with the exception of
the lumber company owning the same
who make the claim that they need
this to keep their men working and
their mills going. AS an attraction
it would bring thousands of people
from the timber denuded sections of
the state and other states. 1t would
be some game refuge.

Bill Haywood is at large on bail.
And all good Americans are asking
why? Why should man of his
caliber ever be loose? Why, after
conviction resulting from fair trial
should he be allowed to use the air
that real MEN need in their bust
ness? Why was he let out on bail?
After an honest conviction why
should any judge interfere with the
fulfilment of his sentence? 1t is just
such fool actions that breeds con-
tempt for the law. We are a patient
and a long suffering people, soft
hearted and easy going mad stand
for such things and Haywood and his
ilk know this and thus go their Shiny
length without fear of any dire con-
sequences.

the "munifcent" sum of $4,000 for

COMMUNICATED
REGARDING SHEEP FOR ST.
LOUIS COUNTY.

Indications are that we'll have
sheep-good sheep-sheep that will
do the work and pay handsomely for
the privilege of gathering up the
things that now go to waste, assist
with the land clearing and help pre-
vent forest fires, if plans materialize
and everybody interested in the pro-
gram will do their share. Letters
received from prominent sheep men
of the West to the effect that they'll
be on the ground in the near future
ready to take up personally the plan
which we have advocated for some
time. Keep up the good work, think
about it, talk about it, and eventually
We'll wonder why we didn't think of
it before and put it into action.
The st. Louis County Club is be-
hind the plan, and sooner or later
it will have to work out as a matter
of protection to property, and pos
sibly be the means of saving this
section from another disaster which
we know is coming just as surely as
night follows day unless we take the
proper steps to prevent it by intro
ducing sheep and plenty of them.
Land clearing and fire prevention,
wool, lambs and mutton, what better
combination do you want for Nor
thern Minnesota?
Garden Program for 1919.
There should be no let up on the
successful campaign for home, school,
municipal or community gardens.
The past two seasons have proved
the value of good gardens. There is
no let up in sight as to prices of COM
modities along these lines. This
year it will be Victory and Liberty
gardens in the full sense Of the word.
1t is the little things that event.
| ually make the big totals. Plan your
gardens bigger and better than ever.
Profit by the experience of former
years, and reap the benefit that al
ways goes with a good garden, well
prepared, well planted and we'll cul-
tivated; better health and better
living. No Stacker acres should be
tolerated. Make them produce to a
full capacity. Nobody knows what
next season holds in store for us.
Be prepared for another winter. 1t
may not be as easy as the one that
has just been with us. You'll enjoy
a good snappy winter if your cellar
or store house is full of good home
grown things to eat. You'll dread it,
and pay dearly besides, if you neg
lect your garden this spring and sum-
mer.
Good soil, good seed and good
season coupled with good timely
cultivation and you have ia real
