been erected, suitably inscribed with
the names of those who had made the
great sacrifice, and platform erect.

guests on behalf of the city and afte,
a few brief remarks drew attention
to the fact that several of the boys
who had gone across would not re.
turn and asked that a few minutes be
given over in fond remembrance OF
these. The Mayor then introduced
Rev. John Blackhurst who gave a
short eulogy of the soldier dead and
living. The address was replete with
historical facts and was one of the
best heard here in years. AS the
names of our soldier dead were cal.
led, the Mayor placed handsome
floral offering on the cross. These
tributes were later called for by the
relatives of the soldiers. Ten wreaths
were placed on the altar. "Ameri.

ercises at this point. The Mayor
then announced that everyone was
expected to have good time and
that the Jail was locked for the day

The news that Governor Burn

son-Lord tonnage tax grab was re-
ceived here with considerable pleas
IRE and the down-in-the-mouth ex-
preston on the countenances of the
people made way for smiles that came
from the hearts of harrassed pop

measure almost absolute ruin for
themselves and their fair city and its
institutions. The news was received
here at noon on Friday. Ely had
just prepared Homecoming cele-

the great war and the celebration the

cutburst of double significance.

Homecoming Celebration One Glorious
Afternoon and Night Of Real Enjoyment
MANY Visitors from Towns In the
vlclnlty--Program Complete.
OVER 400 SERVICE men PLEASED,

The Homecoming celebration Sat-
urday afternoon and evening was
one of the most successful events
ever given in this city and this is
saying much as Ely has pulled off
some very successful celebrations in
the past. Automobiles by the dozen
loaded with visitors began to arrive
Friday afternoon and kept up con-
slant stream up to Saturday at noon.
Every train arriving also brought in
more and it is estimated that at noon
Saturday there were over thousand
strangers here which added to the
population of the city, Winton and
Section Thirty and the farming dist
rict of White Iron, filled the streets
of the city to the curbs.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather, the whistles, bells and other
noisemaking instruments coupled with
the music of the bands, at l o'clock
gave the signal for beginning the
festivities. The several divisions
forming in the parade had assumed
their stations near the Community
Center and at l 80 the parade moved.
We have had some parades in the past
but this one surpassed them all. All
the service men and Red Cross work
ers occupied automobiles and were
given the honor place in the parade
following the standard bearer. The
societies, citizens, floats, yama-yama
girls, bands, school children, fire de-
partment, etc. made up the balance
of the mile long column. With the
large number of handsome flags and
banners and the gaily colored cos
tunes, the parade was an imposing
one.

no right to attempt to take it by legis-
lation under the guise of taxation.
The Profit Tax Argument.
1t is further claimed that the pro-
posed bill is just because it in effect
provides a tax on profit rather than
a tonnage tax on particular kind of
property. If this be true, there is no
reason why profit tax should be ap-
Piled to only one industry and in one
section of the commonwealth and
not to all sections and to all industries
of the state. If this bill should be so
meant as to provide for a tax that
would be fair to all individuals, Sec
tions and industries, instead of dis
eliminating against one section and
one industry, an entirely different
proposition would be presented.
Courts Provide Remedy.
1t is also sought to justify this
Legislation on the ground that the
owners of iron ore properties have
secured practical monopoly of the
product by unfair methods, and are
obtaining unreasonable and uncons-
cionable profits by reason thereof. II
that is the situation, the remedy
ought to be sought in the courts and
in additional Federal and state legis-
lation. If, as some contend, such
practices are pursued by those prop
critics to be taxed by the measure un.
der discussion, it would be wholly
wrong for the state to become q
partner in such transactions by shar-
i ing in accordance with the proposed
law, profit alleged to have beer
made in such a manner.
Bill Violates Fundamentals.
A law of the nature suggested
would violate the fundamental prin.
ciples of taxation. In enacting taS
Legislation, as well as other legislation
i it should be borne in mind that inequa
| lity and lack of uniformity should be
avoided. Taxation should not be
used as an instrument to impose un
fair and excessive burdens upon any
Particular class, industry or section
If revenues can be too easily secured
they usually tend to extravagances
in governmental expenditures. In
stead of indulging in doubtful theo
ries to sustain different classification
of property resulting in continual lit.
igation in courts, we should strive tc
find reasons for avoiding such clas-
sifications, in order to prevent class
legislation and the creating of sec.
ltional differences and class prejudices
which it will require years to over
come. Our greatest progress will be
realized in the enactment of fair
measures that tend to concord rather
than to discord. Governmental en-.
couragement of legitimate enterprises
wherever they may be or wherever
the owners Thereof may live, is the
greatest essential to the development
of this commonwealth and nation and
to the securing for each of its citizens
of that degree of prosperity and prog
ress for which we all hope.
Very Respectfully Yours,

to eat. The service. was excellent
and over 300 service men partook Of
the good things prepared. This fea-
ture of the celebration met with the
approval of local people and visitors
alike.
The larger part of the service men
appeared in uniform and those who
were not in uniform had received
suitable badge from the reception
committee. The entertainment COM
mittee had also secured supply of
horns, confetti and streamers which
were given to the service men to aid
them in properly celebrating. The
yama-yama girls were supplied with
horns and confetti and their multi
colored suits and the carnival spirit
helped to liven things materially.
At 1880 everyone that could walk
or ride went to the ball ground where
the boxing exhibition took place.
Here a ring platform had been erect
ed and brilliantly illuminated. "Cub"
LaJoy of Duluth was in charge Of
ceremonies assisted by L. Golop. The
first bout of the evening was between
two clever little scrappers from Du-
luth and st. Paul. Golop and "Buck"
Johnson were next and these two put
on fine five rounds of clever work
Buck is from Winton and decided
n thas 80
furnish his share of the amusement
for the crowd. The main event of
the evening was between Young"
Mayberry of Duluth and "Kid" Rob
inson of Superior. Both of these
are clever boys but Robinson was
clearly not in the class with Mayberry
as he was quieted in the second
round. The exhibition put up by
these two was all too short.
The dance at the Auditorium at
$3.50 was the crowning event of the
day. Long before the hour set for
the opening, the attendance was tax
ing the capacioussroom. Music was
furnished by theS Miller-C Coffey-Nas-
lund bunch of jazz players and was
enjoyed. So great was the crush that
Ed. Edwards leading the grand march
was forced to cut out any extra
movements and confne the march to
a straight walk. Handsome red,,
white and blue fans had been pro-
vided for the ladies and streamers
filed fhe air during the march. The
scene presented on the brilliantly
lighted floor with the air filled with
streamers and the gaily appareled
crowd which filled the floor to stand
ing room only, is beyond description.
Suffice it to say that all had a good
time. Dancing was discontinued at
IL o'clock.
While large part of the populace
were at the dance, many more were
on the streets and enjoyed themselves
in true carnival manner. The city
had been hansomely decorated H.
]. Maxi decorator from Duluth had
been here and trimmed up the busi-
ness houses. Mr.. Maxi also assisted
the city forces in putting up their
decorations.
The Community Center came, in
for it's share of>attention on the part
of the visitors and it is for just such
occasions as the one on Saturday
where the building showed its utility
and general worth. The rest ro..
were occupied all day. Every cit.
and town should have just such I
building.

TONNAGE TAX VETOED

the friendship of real people both
from the north and the south ends of
the. state, regardless of political af-
filiations. Notwithstanding all the
allurements presented by the Non
partisans, the governor did not fall
into the hole dug for his political
grave and it can be safely said that
today Governor Burnquist is a bigger
man than before he sent back the
coniscatory grab known as the ton
mage tax bill. He has made friends
by the clear and concise manner he
returned the measure.
AS the members of the State Tax
Commission, or at least part of
them were parties to the scheme to
make monkey out of the governor,
it is now but fitting and proper that
the governor retaliate by making just
fifty-seven different varieties of mon
key out of that powerful political or
ganization known as the State Tax
Commission. He has the power to
do so, at any rate. Had the MEM
bers so severely sat down on, any
sense whatever, they wauld not be
required to resign from this body
but would show a little decency and
get off themselves. We understand
the governor has made the statement
that he is through with politics this
term under any conditions and if, by
chance, several of the tax commits
sion members, should accidentally fall
off the board, there would be few, if
any, questions asked. This last, is
not the only roughneck stunt this
powerful body has pulled, but the
governor has it in his power to say it
shall be the last to be pulled as men,
bers of this state body which in it's
makeup and powers is stronger than
the state supreme court.
The full text of the letter accom-
panying the return of the tonnage
tax bill by the Governor is as follows
Hon. w. 1. Nolan, Speaker, House of
Representatives:

my approval House File No. %, "a

les engaged in the mining or produc-
tion thereof"
Further Dliberation Needed.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16.-High class racing and fast time featured the closing day of the grand circuit meeting at Belmont park this even ing. The champion stallion, Lu Prince ton, 2:02, trotted the fastest mile of the season in>his attempt to beat the track record of 2:01%, made here last year by St. Frisco and while the son of San Francisco failed in his at tempt. the performance aroused the crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Lu Princeton, driven by Cox, stepped the first half in 59 3-4 seconds and the mile in 2:02 1-2. Cox also won the feature event of the meeting, the $5O00 Winoga stock farm stake for 2:11 trotters, with Mignola. Cox's mare was a strong favorite and won the first heat handily in 2:07 from Tommy Murphy's Fenesta.

Chief At
 Governors COnfab

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug 16.-Five state governors, the first to arrive for the conference of state executives here, held an informal session late today to discuss the project of hay ing unreserved public domain in the several states ceded to them by the federal government. Because of the small number of western governors present, further discussion of the pro ject was postponed until Monday.
 Those present included Gov. Thorn as E. Campbell of Arizona and Gov O. A. Larrazolo of New Mexico. Gov ernor Larrazolo. who presided, said he deemed it advantageous both to the state. and federal governments for the public domain in western states to be ceded to the states.
