"But the controversy was so con-
Quoted as to keep out the personal
and to maintain friendly relations so
that today these interests have a
more friendly feeling towards this
state than ever before. What Du-
luth asked and insisted was that they
should think in terms of Minnesota
and not merely in terms of Duluth.
That is exactly what they are now
doing.
/ "After about year Duluth was
joined by Birmingham, Ala, and
soon after by the combined steel
manufacturing concerns, the users
of primary steel in the middle west,
nearly TOO in number. They took
the case directly to the federal trade
board. Duluth interviewed. So did
the governor and attorney general
in behalf of the state.
"That is briefly the history of the
matter today. How does it concern
tonnage tax? In two, ways. If
Minnesota attempts to secure special
advantages by this tax for itself,
this would argue strongly against it
in the demand for just fair play and
exact justice in price fixing. It
would not come with clean hands,
and that is demanded by all courts.
Second, if the case should be won,
and this discrimination be abolished,
it would give almost at once low
er price for steel to every user in
this state. 1t would be saving of
close to SO ton on all wire, nails
and every common article of steel
used. It would bring to the state
hundreds Of new industries and ex-
pand hundreds now here, making a
great home market for farm prod
ucts. The farmer would buy for
less and sell for more.
"Why not wait for this and then
clap on tonnage tax? Well, that
would not be honest and when men
or states are not themselves honest,
they do not get honest treatment. At
best, whatever this tax, it would add
just that much to the price of all
the steel used or manufactured in
any form in this state. We would
pay it ourselves to that extent. II
would be pore"
"But more than this, exact pro-
duction costs are very difficult to de.
termine; if so disposed, if unfriendly
if dishonesty treated, the makers OF
steel could, and probably would see
to it that the people of this state
paid every dollar of such tax. Ill
inois has none, nor Indiana, nor Wis
consin, nor Michigan, nor Ohio, mol
Pennsylvania, nor have they any like
tax against iron, and three of these
states are ore producers.
Minnesota would be the only
great steel manufacturing state dis
eliminating against the industry
What could we expect? To elm
mate Pittsburgh-plus will be worth
in cash ten times any tonnage tax. Il
will go directly to all the people. The
farmer will profit doubly. Governor
Burnquist knew all this when hi
wrote his veto. He has taken shower.

showers of apologies"

BIG feature
FOR ELc0 FEB. 3
NOTED PLAY HERE FOR ONE
NIGHT AND MATINEE.

''The End of the Road" which by
quick booking comes to the Elco
Theatre Tuesday with a matinee and
two evening performances holds all
records for attendance in this
country, its tour having been moth
ing short of phenomenal. In the
city of Cleveland over $4,000 people
viewed it in three weeks and the
runs that followed at the LaSalle
theater in Chicago and the Davidson
theater at Milwaukee broke the house
records in those cities during the
run of eight and six weeks, respect
lively. Four weeks in st. Paul and four
in Minneapolis, with bookings at the
Metropolitan opera houe in both
cities again claimed attention for
consecutive showing.
But of more interest to people in
this locality is the tremendous bust
ness that was done by the Lyric
theater at Duluth in the recent two
weeks engagement there. In the
first four days, over $4,000 people
were handled, the crowds that at
tempted to get in the theate. and
failed being so enormous that every
piece of glass in the door of the
theater were broken, it being neces-
airy to have police discipline con-
stantly to regulate the waiting lines.
AS has been stated, 1.-THE End of
the Road" is the most abused and
greatest praised motion-picture that
was ever presented to the American
public. 1t was conceived and con-
summated with one purpose only, to
arouse an unthinking people about
the terrible physical ravages that
venereal diseases have caused the in
nocent and, ignorant, on account Of
the prudery and false modesty of the
past that has tabooed the discussion
of this unusavory subject. Reaiz-
ing the campaign against communi-
cable disease, the state boards of
health Of Minnesota and Wisconsin
have approved the public showings.
1.-THE End of the Road" was writ
ten by DR.. Katharine B. Davis Of
nationwide fame as correctional
expert. It is the life story Of two
American girls. One was brought
up by wise mother who informed
her of the mysteries of birth and the
pitfalls of the world. The other con-
tinually rebuffed at the age Of in

PROBABLE ORE PRICES.

Business in the ore market for
1920 is expected to develop next
month, and at prices materially
higher than those which prevailed
last year. While no decision has been
made as regards prices, operators are
completing their cost sheets, with the
probability that new prices will be
announced the latter part of this
month. These cost sheets are said
to show an extremely low profit on
the business done in 1919. The gen.
eral opinion among operators is that
the new prices will be approximately
81 a ton higher.
I'm this connection the vessel rate
on iron ore is still to be determined,
but it is understood that some char
terinfg will be done at an early date
so that the operators and consumers
will understand what the rate is to
be before ore contracts are closed.
Vessel rates probably will be higher
than last year, and it is not unlikely
that return will be made to the
level which prevailed in 1918. The
latter rates were reduced 20 per cent
at the outset of the season of 1919.
Iron ore operators are disposed to
consider the new rates before making
quotations, and in some instances it
is said that if freight rate to lower
ports is advanced 20 cents ton then
the operators might accept an ad-
vance of but 80 cents, the total to
the consumer being 81.
Certain operators estimate that
furnaces drawing their ore supplies
from the Lake Superior district will
have on hand 17,500,0O0 tons May /
as compared with 20,977, 900 May /
1913, and 20,664,5s2 May 1, 1919,
which estimate, if borne out, would
indicate an early movement this year.
"a half dozen inquiries appeared
in the market during the past week
for small tonnages with which to fill
out mixtures, and some additional
re-sales were made.-Iron Trade Re-

PITTSBURGH PLUS TONNAGE TAX
(Chas. Mitchell in Duluth News
Tribune.)

(Chas. Mitchell in Duluth News
Tribune.)
"What possible relation has Pitts
burgh- plus to the tonnage tax? How
is the state at large and all tie people
connected up with this base price for
! steel? How and why is the steel
base price of vastly more financial
Importance to the people of the state
than any tonnage tax can possibly be,
and how do the two propositions con-
fict?
| Outside the citizens of Duluth
who have heard it preached for three
years and more, and of those directly
interested as manufacturers Of steel
products in the Twin Cities, few in
the state know much of this subject.
Governor Burnquist and Attorney
General Hilton, however, are of this
few. They so well realized it's i'm
portance that they interviewed on be-
half of the state of Minnesota in the
hearing before the federal trade COM
mission.
knowing what he did of this case,
of the situation it created and the
vital interest of the state, the COVER
nor could not but have vetoed the
tonnage tax bill had there been no
other reason, yet such was the con-
dition at that time that he could
hardly make use of it in his message.
But nothing. has done more good than
that message to hasten what will be
of vastly greater benefit to Minnesota
and to all of its people than any ton
mage tax could be.
"Pittsburgh-plus, in brief, means
that no matter where steel is man
ufactured, the price charged for it
is the price fixed at the Pittsburgh
mills plus the freight charge to the
place of delivery. For example
If steel is made at Gary Chicago
and sold for delivery at Chicago-the
price is that of Pittsburgh plus the
freight to Chicago. If it is made at
Duluth and sold for delivery at Du-
luth the price is that at Pittsburgh
plus the freight to this city.
"This is regardless of the fact that
steel is manufactured cheaper al
both Gary and Duluth than at Pitts
burgh. So, if primary steel product:
are bought from Gary or Duluth TO,
delivery to any locality in Minnesota
the price charged is the Pittsburgh
price plus the freight from Pitts
burgh to that locality. The freight
from Pittsburgh to Chicago is $5.4(
and to Duluth $3.50, which is added
to the Pittsburgh price to form the
"Pittsburgh-plus" price.
"Three years ago Duluth began the
fight against this basing system fol-
the price of steel. This city rec
ognized the magnitude of the job
that it was not local nor merely a.
big as Minnesota, but was nationa
and revolutionary in the steel indus
