countant liz the state auditors office, in COM
menting on this said that although the three
counties named had no more to say about the
government of the state than the smallest
county therein, they stand the bulk of the ex-
penses of the state. Ramsey, Hennepin and St.
Louis counties last year paid into the state
treasury in the shape of taxes total of $780,
7O1 as compared with $3,557,254 by all of the
received back from the state for roads, schools,
agricultural societies, fremen's relief etc.,
$1,S07 GIG as against $7,5O8,817 paid to the
rural counties. Add to this the money received
by the state from royalty on iron ore, sale of
timber, sale of lands and other sources of in
come from St. Louis county and large portion
of the running expenses of the state are taken
care of by this county alone.

ROAD AMENDMENT NO, 1.
Proposition to be Voted Next aIMost important Measure
Ever Put Before You--Work and Talk for it's Passage

stipulated amount of motor vehicle taxation
as agreed on.
The Babcock plan is the final solution and
the most feasible plan ever offered to the
people for the settlement of it's good roads prob
lem There are ten reasons why all voters
should go TO the polls and vote for the Con-
stitutional Amendment in 1920. They are:
1: BECAUSE it will give Minnesota a
seven-thousand mile trunk highway system to
care for inter-county and state traffic.
2. Because it will remove from the
counties and townships the burden of building
and maintaining these expensive highways.
3. BECAUSE it will release sufficient
local funds to enable those counties and town.
ships to build 21,S5O miles of 1graveled and
graded miles of roads to connect up with the
trunk highway system, at 100000 mile in
ten years when these funds are concentrated
on this work.
4. BECAUSE this magnificent highway
system of 28,85O miles of improved roads will
be constructed, reconstructed, maintained and
forever improved without increasing general
taxation in the state single penny.
5. BECAUSE the motor vehicle owners
who pay increased fees will have their money
returned three-fold through a saving in the cost
of operation of their cars.
6. BECAUSE it will be the first time
that Minnesota will be given an opportunity to
treat its road-making problems in systematic
businesslike manner.
7. BECAUSE it will make accessible to
tourists the beauty spots of the state, turning
idle capital into active investments and thus
bringing millions of dollars within it's borders.
8. BECAUSE 1t will add hundred of mil
lions of dollars to the wealth of the state by re-
ducing marketing costs and developing the ag-
rcultural resources of the state.
g. BECAUSE it will carry the benefits of
good roads to all parts of the state ultimately
without waiting for the slow, wearisome pro-
cesses of roadbuilding. State maintenance be-
gins at once upon the passage of Amendment
No. l.
10. BECAUSE it will give Minnesota the
most wonderful road system possessed by
any state in the union without increasing gen.
eral taxes
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-03-05

Because of the fact that there are great
many people who do not understand the Bah
cock plan of highway building that was pro-
posed at the last session of the legislature and
which will come before the people for a vote at
the next election. The Miner gives below a
short description of what the amendment is,
few points to it's Importance and how the
roads thus established will be built and taken
care of:
The Babcock plan calls for construction
program of approximately 1000 miles of paved
trunk highway system, in addition to 21,85O
miles of arterial, graded and gravelled miles of
roads which will reach into every section of the
state, the highways to be located, constructed
reconstructed, improved and forever main
tanned as public highways by the State of Min
nesota The construction and maintenance of
the road In this system to be done by the State
of Minnesota and will be financed by a bond is
sue which is to be retired by the proceeds from
an increased tax on motor vehicles. The amend
ment will limit the issue of bonds in any calen-
dar year to $1O000,000.O0 par value, and fur
ther provides that there will never be outstand-
ing more than $75,000,0OO.OO in bonds at any
one time. ~ sss.
No bonds are issued by this amendment.
1t simply authorized the legislature to issue
and sell the bonds of the state within the limits
just stated
In order to finance this trunk highway
system there will be levied by law license
fee automobiles which will approximately
average $500 per car. This does not neces-
sarily mean that every automobile will pay
this stipulated sum in taxes. The tax will be
levied according to horse power, the valuation
and the weight of the car. In other words, it
is estimated that under the new system Ford
will pay tax of approximately $1,000 per car;
a Buick, $500 to $500; a Stutz, approx
mately $4,000; Packard, $4,000 to $4,000
and a Pierce-Arrow, between $4,000 and
$4,000. This tax will include the personal prop
erty tax. There will be no land tax. In no
case is it expected that bonds will be issued
in such amounts as cannot be retired by the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-03-05

Some forty years ago the state made a
price on legal printing. Since that time moth
ing has been done regardless of the fact that
the price of material, labor, wages, salaries,
living expenses and everything else has been
to the highest notch. This should
be remedied by the legislature but we hate to
say anything about change as in all proba-
biity st. Louis, Hennepin and Ramsey counties
would be exempt from it's provisions. Remem-
Der the personal tax list publications? Every
county in the state was ordered to print the
personal tax lists in order to get line on the
tax dodgers but the three counties named-and
these counties pay two-thirds of all the taxes
of the state.

Snow is considered as splendid fertilizer
for the SOIL If this be true then the crops in
and around Ely should be bumper ones this
coming season. Our streets resemble tunnels
and the woods are almost impossible save on
snowshoes or skis. The loggers and the pulp
wood men have been blessed with plenty of
snow, and the ice roads have so far been fine as
could be asked for. The ice in the lakes is near
ly three feet in thickness and the man who pre-
diets an early breakup is bold forecaster. 1t
has been phenominally long winter and while
never bitterly cold, it can be classed among
the regular old fashioned ones we read about
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-03-05

And so the railroad unions have decided
not to strike at this time. 1t was good decision.
Strikes do not end our troubles today. Pro-
duction is the only word having power with
present prices of the necessities. Produce, pro-
duce and then produce and then keep the AK
ground for the neck of the profteer. Buy only
what the police say you must have. Economy
and more economy along every line will in time
bring the purchasing power of our dollar a
little more to 100 per cent valuation. Save
and produce. Each individual must do it else
there never will be an end to the rising cost of
everything. A strike is wrong. 1t never gets
the striker anywhere but in deeper. Let's roll
up our sleeves and begin on real days work.

FISH DYING FOR AIR.

Owing to the heavy ice on the
many lakes and the immense amount
of snow, there are not the usual
number of air holes through the ice
this winter, and as a result many
game fish throughout northern Min
nesota are dying for lack of air.
Game wardens and sportsmen are
chopping holes in the ice on many
lakes, but there will be hundreds of
lakes not reached. All sportsmen
who know of such lakes which con-
tain game fish should, if possible, see
that air holes are made through the
ice, as fish need air just the same as
people do.-Aurora News.

GODS EXTRA SUNDAY" EV.
ERYBODY TO THE CHURCHES.
BROUGHT.

Last Sunday was recognized as
Goods Extra Sunday" This hap
pens only once in a while and for
over forty years it has not occurred
that the extra day of Leap Year
fell on Sunday and the same will not
happen again for another twenty
eight years. ..
The churches of the city were
packed to the doors at every serv-
ice Sunday. At the Presbyterian
and Methodist churches Union Serv-
ices were held at which Rev. w. C.
Timmons of Minneapolis spoke on
the Interchurch World Movement as
set in motion by several of the Prot
estant churches in all the larger cit
les. He also delivered very able
sermons at the Presbyterian church
in the morning and the Methodist
church in the evening.
At a meeting of the congrega-
lions held Immediately after the serv-
ices it was decided to put the matter
of consolidation of the Protestant
churches to vote of the congrega-
tiOns and in consequence a vote is
being taken. 1t was pointed out by
members of both the churches that
by consolidation, the attendance
would be increased, the expense cut
down and the services more attract
i've. Many of the smaller cities of
the country have already consolida-
ted the churches and the movement
is becoming general throughout the
United States. The churches would
unite in a Congregational manner
and would embrace all the Protest
ant faiths in a community of like
language. Many members of both
the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches here have expressed them
selves as being willing and anxious to
consolidate. ..J
Mr.. Timmons, who, during the
war, was secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
on foreign soil, also met with the
members of the Community Center
board in the afternoon and gave his
ideas as to the conduct of this insti-
tuition. Many fine points were
brought out at the discussion which
followed. Owing to the unfortunate
had with the former man.
ager of the Center, the board is
at sea regarding the choice
of man to have charge. The build
ing was arranged for the benefit of
the most people and a man to organ
ize the usual small town factions is
hard to find.
However, the board has decided
that man big enough to accomplish
these things must be had, whether
he comes from Ely, Africa or some
other remote section of the world.
The vote of the congregations of
the consolidation of churches is being
awaited with interest.

There is sheep article in this issue that
after one reads it, they will wish to own sheep
ranch in st Louis county. The raising of sheep
near Ely is now no more an experiment. 1t is
an established fact. The old wolf bugaboo is
now exploded and the matter of winter feed
settled. We have the sheep country here and
from now on tons of wool and mutton are to be
raised in this vicinity. Every farmer should
now have MS flock of sheep. Think of the
prices for wool and We'll all be buying sheep
soon.

and one free throw in the first half
and two goals and two free throws
in the second half for a total of Is
points. Skantze made two field
goals in this period and Bottiani one.
For Tower Thomas and Gallien star
red. Thomas started at center but
was soon replaced by the latter, who
managed to drop two ringers" dur
ing the rest of the first half. During
the second half neither Skantze or
Gallien made a basket. Thomas
made all of Towers points in the
second half with two field goals and
one foul. Eikrem was the only
other Tower man to score, making
one field goal. Bottiani at R. G.
made three field goals during the
second half. He showed a marked
Improvement in passing, than what
he did in the last two games. Gerzin
made one field goal and Capt. Hip
aka one goal and one foul. Every
man on our team scored at least
once. Alfalfa, Habian and Adams
were substituted the last two min
utes and their passing was very good.
The team as whole played very
well and showed much improvement
over the last game in passing and
shooting. The defense was rather
weak in the first half but this was
better in the last half.
One of the most noticeable things
at the game was the enthusiasm of
the spectators. They applauded when
the teams came on the floor and kept
it up throughout the game.
The team realized the crowd was
behind them when they stepped on
the floor so were determined to do
their part.
The work of referee Smith was
very good. He says the Ely team
which played the last two games,
doesn't hardly look like the team that
played in the other games he has ref
creed.
The team goes to Biwabik Friday
to play them for the first Of our
games. .,.

ried the ball to Towers basket and

Now comes the cheering news that great
many voted the country dry just to get rid of
the Anti-Saloon League and now up hops this
cussed bunch with a proposition to raise forty
millions to fight the repeal of prohibition. They
need the money and that is all there is to it. Pro-
hibition such as it is, is fact and why graft
the forty millions?
