counties in the state who have such
companies, and it could be either
regulated by the municipality or the
board of county commissioners.
1t is my firm opinion that we do not
ned railway commission, and that
these same duties would be perform
ed at practically a total saving by
vesting the authority to fix these
rates, which are purely local, in the
county boards.
AS | have pointed out. it would
save the state of Florida a large sum
of money. In addition to this, there
are numerous appropriations by each
legislature that ought to be cut out
entirely, and if our next legislature
will consider the matter from a stand
point of entertainment, they can save
the tax payers more than half mill
ion dollars, which is practically vast
ed as matters are now run.
AS an illustration, we have gone
wild on the expenditure of money
foolishly. I call attention to the fact
that in 1909 the state millage was TX
mills; but in 1919, it was II mills. In
that same time the taxable value of
the property in the state of Florida
has practically doubled, so that it is
taking at this time nearly three
times as much to run the state gov
eminent as it did ten years ago.
/ submit this one inquiry? Were
we not as well off financially, social
ly and otherwise in 1910 as we are in
1920? Was not the country as pros
porous then as now? Then why this
enormous increase in taxation. There
is but one answer, and that is that we
are wasting more money than we did
ten years ago. and the people are pay
ing it.
| want to urge and impress upon
you that | am heartily with you on
the question of retrenchment. and if
it can be brought directly to the at
tention of the people who are paying
the taxes, that the money is being
unnecessarily wasted, believe that
every one will rise up and insist upon
policy that will reduce the millage
rather than raise it. But the policy
pursued for the past ten years has
been directly the opposite. I merely
mention these as a few of the things
that we could save on, and I think
that it is time that the newspapers
were all doing their part in trying to
bring before the public this unneces-
sary waste of money.

R0MINENT ELY
RESIDENT PASSES.
p. T. BROWNELL ONE OF ELY'S
EARLIEST RESIDENTS DIES
YESTERDAY.

1t was with considerable of a shock
that the residents of the city received
the word yesterday that. P. T. Brown
ell had passed away. shortly before
noon. Many were not aware of his
illness which dated back only ten days
or so before his death and the news
of his passing stunned them.
Phineas Terry Brownell, more FAM
iliarly referred to by his host Of
friends as "P. TT, has resided in this
city since the beginning Of the town
having removed here from Tower
early in 1888. He has conducted a
meat market here since his arrival
and at the time of his death was the
senior member of the firm of Brown
ell & Co. He was recognized as a
most able accountant and an expert
on bookkeeping. For the past two
summers, himself and Mrs. Brownen
have conducted the BURNSIDE Lodge
for the Ely-Burntside Outing Co.
He was lover of the open air and il
was for this reason he took over the
Lodge being particularly partial to
BURNSIDE Lake as an outing spot.
Mr.. Brownell was born in Fair.
haven, Mass. on March 9Th, 1855, and
was at the time of his death over SIS
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-11-05

years of age. He spent some time in
upper Michigan in his earlier years
where he also was united in marriage
From this union, five children have
resulted all of whom are living with
the exception of one daughter,
Blanche, who died in infancy. He
came to the Vermilion range in 1885,
locating at Tower where he remained
for two years before coming to Ely
and has resided here since.
He is survived by the widow, three
sons and daughter. The sons are,
Leslie NJ, Otto E. and Edward F.
The daughter is Miss Lucia who is
attending the State u. The funeral
will take place Sunday afternoon az
8 o'clock from the residence. All
the surviving children viii be present
at the funeral The cause Of his
death is given as pleurisy and pneu-
monia.
It is with the saddest Of feelings
that we are forced to chronicle the
passing Of P. T. Brownell. He was
a man in every sense Of the word,
a friend who was a friend. He will
be missed. The surviving relatives
have the sympathy Of the community
in the loss of a loving husband and
fond father.

partner, Mr.. Hoffman of Chisholm,
who also ranks among the top-notch-
ers.
For the District Judgeship, Judges
Cant and Fesler and c. B. Magney
are winners. The election of Judges
Cant and Fesler was a foregone con-
clusion and the third place fight was
between four other candidates, War
rem E. Greene, Richard Funck, H. B.
Cant and Fesler and C. r. Magney
Magney ran like winner from the
beginning and the race was clearly
between him and Mr.. Greene.
Particularly pleasing to many on
the ranges and to the district was the
election of Oscar j. Larson to Cong
gress. Mr.. Larson is educationally
and in every other way fitted to rep
resent a district of the commercial
and industrial magnitude of the
Eighth and no mistake was made in
his selection.
Ely voted early and steadily. The
polls opened promptly at o'clock
and from then on to the close at 9
in the evening, a steady stream of
men and women were noted at the
booths of the three precincts. The
total vote cast numbered 1853 div
ided as follows: Male 718; female,
435. 429 were cast in the First pre-
cinct, 263 in the Second and 461 in
the Third. 270 males voted in the
First, 161 in the Second and 287 in
the Third precincts. Ladies voted,
159 in the First, 102 in the Second
and TIA in the Third precincts.
The returns show the following
figures for the three precincts of the
city on the sveral candidates. The
figures are given by precincts and the
totals:

CITY POLITICS.

Now that the national and state
elections have been safely tucked
away for the benefit of good govern
ment, some attention is being shown
the local political squabble. The fiji
ings so far made would indicate more
than usual activity in internal affairs
and the election on December 7th
will not go by the boards for the Jack
of candidates. M. Weinzierl filed a
week ago for Mayor and this morn,
ing Henry Chinn threw his hat into
the ring. Others are to follow is the
claim.
Three Aldermen are to be elected
to fill the places of Aldermen John
son, Maxi and Somero whose terms
expire: Seven filings for the three
places have been listed so far and
more are to follow. Those seeking
seats on the Council are;
Einor Jackson, Matt Baldine, Jr.,
Steve Kovall, John Judnich, A. E.
Johnson, Mako Kotchevar and E. C.
Jones.

1t happened!
The expected has taken place and
only just a little more so than antici-
pated. ... SID,
The country has repudiated the
Democratic Encouragement and the
Wilson, 81, Me and N.Y. administra-
ton by casting the largest Repub-
hcan vote in the history of the
nation. Things went so far anti
Democrat that even the solid south
tried to get onto the Republican
band wagon by sending Tennessee
over and it is safe to say that the
electoral college will cast over 400
votes for Senator Harding, only 268
being required to elect.
The League of Nations bunk failed
to bring Cox under the wire and the
claim is, made that Europe will have
to get along without a president in
this country after the 4th of March.
Minnesota, which was to have been
turned over to the Nonpartisan
League, body and soul, by the elect
ion of Shipstead who posed as can
didate because Townley could not use
his own name, and Sullivan got on
in place of Monahan for the same
reasons, woke up in time to save the
state from the fate of North Dakota
where the outfit has had full swing
the past few years and the state has
been placed on the rocks of discord
besides standing on the very edge
OF the precipice of bankruptcy. The
election of Jake Preus and a good
Republican Congressman in every
district has effectively set at rest the
assertion that Minnesota was going
to the dogs. How could it be other
wise? All the people are not fool
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-11-05

made on several of the candidates,
particularly A. ]. Thomas, Warren
E. Greene, Jake Preus and others,
by nonenity who by the grace Of
the votes of the l. w. W., game and
liquor law violators, is holding an
elective office in this city, Ely came
through with almost solid vote for
the Republican ticket. Particularly
pleasing to the majority of the citi-
zens is the election of A. ]. Thomas
as member of the legislature. The
Vermilion range has always been en-,
titled to representation and has not
had direct representation in st. Paul
since the late P. R. Vail represented
us over twenty years ago. Mr..
Thomas, with his years of legal exper-
fence and his long residence on the
Vermilion will be able to keep us on
the map and be of benefit to the
ranges against the entertainments of
the granger element directly opposed
to US at all times. With Thomas,
Representative Murphy and Senator
Boylan, this district has nothing to
fear and will stack up in legislative
and senatorial ability with the best
of them. While not in our district,
we cannot help but threw boquet or
two at the people of the Sixtieth for
their return to the house Of Repre-
sentative Hitchcock with an almost
unanimous vote. He will have as
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-11-05

no doubt in the minds of the people
that they do not want Townleyism
and it's attendant evils.
Then take look at that fellow
Siegel, who essayed to the honorable
position held by Judge Dibell How
anyone but a Stacker or an I. w. w.
could vote for Siegel is hard to say.
Memory fingers to the time of the
hearing at the State Capitol several
years ago when Andrychine, Tresca
and several other red agitators were
before committee to tell what they
knew of the strike on the ranges. To
Siegel, every word this unsavory out
fit uttered was gospel truth and music
to a warped soul. All others were
liars. Our old friend "Chet" Rogers
of Virginia had them sized up right
in his statements to the committee
and was backed up by others who did
not possess the quaint vocabulary
of which Mr.. Rogers is master. This
testimony and the talks made should
be placed on file in the archives of
the Minnesota State Historical So
ciety as masterpieces for the use of
posterity in just such emergencies
as the election of Tuesday furnished
To the credit of the voters it must be
said that Judge Dibell received the
largest vote of any man on the ticket
and Siegel fell so far behind in the
run that he thought he was standing
still.
Ely, in common with the balance
of the state, did its share. Notwith-
standing the dirty, low-lived attacks

ELEVATED TRAINS SMASH.
Passengers Hurled to Streets Below
No Trace Of MOtOr1nan.

New York, April 12.-.Passengers
on an elevated train had remarkable
escapes from death to-day when they
were catapulted to the street dis
tance Of rs feet in the midst Of
debris Of the car in which they were
riding to work.
The front car of train was fairly
struck and knocked off the elevated
structure on the Ninth avenue line,
near Trinity church, by collision
with another train and dem olished,
The wrec!age was wedged in between
the elevated structure and the side
Of brick building a dozen feet away.
The fifteen passengers in the de-
molished car sifted through debris to
the street, and about dozen of
them were removed to hospitals, the
only woman passenger in the car be-
ing seriously hurt. The motorman
was missing after the accident, and
search Of the debris failed to reveal
trace Of him. Nearby shop keepers
said they saw man in uniform run
ming away after the car fell.
The motorman finally appeared at
the scene Of the accident after being
treated for slight bruises, and is said
to have told officials Investigating
that he ran by q signal.
