No Carnival During Fair Week.

The Snapp Bros. shows, which
had been engaged to appear at
Ironwood next week in connection
with the Gogebic County Fair,
cancelled their engagement with
Secretary F. A. Healy, hence there
will be no carnival at Ironwood
during fair week. The show
company took advantage of clause
in the contract giving them privil
ege to cancel their engagement at
Ironwood should another carnival
company precede them. Eight
weeks ago Ironwood entertained a
carnival company under the aus
pices of the Elks.

States Expenses and Receipts.

That disbursements for schools
and highways in Wisconsin CON
stltute 55 per cent of all public
expenditures and show the greatest
increase in the last two years, is
the statement of the Tax Commits.
sion in a bulletin made public this
week. In comparison to this the
commission states that the ex-
penditures for general government
have decreased since 1918 when it
was II per cent of the total ex
penditures to the low point of 8.
per cent for the year 1920.
Disbursements for 1920 were
$II2, ,76S, $40, which means an in
crease of so per cent Over 1918
when the total was SS0, 7IS, ,qs4.
The receipts of the state have not
been increased as fast as the dis
bursements. The total receipts of
the state from all divisions in 1920
were SII9, ,274,I56, which was an
increase of 28,3 per cent over 1918
when the receipts were S92, ,o5o,793
Cities are shown to be by far
the most expensive units of govern
ment, while they contain only
so per cent of the population and
about ~ per cent of the taxable
wealth of the state, their aggregate
expenditure, exclusive of schools,
exceeds the expenditure of the state
and the II counties. As the total
expenditures OF the state constitute
only IA per cent of the expenditures
of all civil divisions, and SO per
cent of all expenditures are under
the control of the counties and
local districts, it is clear as pointed |
out III former bulletins that any
material reduction in the cost of
government must begin at home.
Taxes still lead in bringing in
the revenue. Taxes for 1920
brought in a total of S7S,456, ,693 !
Special assessments brought i'll
S2,755, 2o7; licenses and permits,
IS, 246,o75; gifts and grants, 81
o69, 1872; commercial revenue. SI4,
2I9, 386; receipts on account of in-
debtedness, SI6,751,658 and other
rec, PTS were $755,965, bringing
the grand total up to SII9, 74,136. |
OF the total disbursements
for 1920 of $rI2, 76S, $40, education
expenses lead the list, taking S3r,
634,I44, while highways and
bridges rank second with total of
$50, 900. The costs of all
branches of general state govern
ment were only 81. 400, 276.

Same Old Argument.

The coal miners have informed
Secretary of Labor Davis that they
cannot consider any wage reduc-
tions and that when their present
contracts with the operators expire
next spring they will probably ask
for further increases. They base
their position on the fact that be
cause of the lack of steady employ
ment the miners today cannot
make living at the wage rate they
now receive" The fact is pro-
baby true, but it does not follow
that miners wages are too low.
They would find that another raise
would make it still more difficult
to make living, rather than easier.
Their only hope, if they but knew
1t, lies in lowering of wages with
consequent stimulation of the coal
market and higher return to them.
The condition of the coal miners
has a close parallel in the expert
ence of the railroads. Rail rates
have been raised to such a point
that shippers refuse to patronize
the roads, and the consequence is
that revenues have fallen off.
There is a point in the scale of
miners wages, as well as in rail-
roads rates, where further in
creases mean loss of income. That
fact will sometime be realized by
the coal workers, as well as other
wage earners, but until then the
people will have to bear the burden
Of high fuel prices.

ANNUAL GOGEBIC COUNTY
FAIR NEXT WEEK
Horse Races win Be Big Feature of
the Fair This Year. Iron County
May Compete for Premiums.

The fastest race horses in this
section of the country will compete
tor the $500 in prizes offered by
the Gogebic County Fair, Iron
wood, Sept. ID to 10, according to
Secretary Frank A. Healy.
THE racing this year ought to
he the best we have ever had, said
Secretary Eealy. we have been
liberal with our purses, and some
pretty fast animals are entered.
When the complete entry list is
announced, it will create regular
sensation. >
The policy of the fair associa-
tions, according to fair officials, is
responsible for the great popularity
OF horse racing now. When gam
blers forced the game to the wall
years ago. it would have died had
not the fairs taken hold of it and
kept it on its feet. AS a result the
public is enjoying faster and better
racing now than ever before.
The entertainment program will
not be- limited to horse racing.
n
The committee in charge of en-
tertainment has secured the coun-
try far and wide for fine features
to please the crowds expected.
Visitors will be given a rare treat.
The horse races will be held on
Thursday and Friday. The races
on Thursday will be the 2:25 trot
with a purse of $500 and the 2:I7
pace with purse of $500. On
Friday there will be a 2:I3 pace
aud 2;2I pace with purses of
$500 and S4oo respectively.
n feature that Will furnish
amusement is Dixon's Mule Derby.
Four mules with local drivers will
race each day of the fair and since
they have been trained to win
alternate heats no amount of urg-
ing on the part of the drivers can
make mule win more than one
heat.
There will be numerous open air
attractions and music will be
furnished by the Newport band.
Thursday has been designated as
East End Day for the people of the
east end of the county living in
Bessemer, Wakefield, Marenisco,
Watersmeet and other towns. Fri
day will be Ironwood and Iron
County (Wis) Day.

1t is rather pity that we do not
make more of our annual celebra-
tiOn of Labor Day in this country
for we have constantly before us
such wonderful results of labor. How
little would our wonderful cities
amount to were it not for the labor
er. Every brick and cement block
has found its place through the
labOreT's skill. The thousands of
miles of railroad that span our land
certainly would not be there were it
not for the men on the section gang
Yet in spite of all that labor has
done and is doing for this country
Labor Day to many people is merely
a holiday for good time. We don t
want it to be a serious time by any
means, but in newspapers or by
means of public speeches and in
many other ways people should bt
made to appreciate more the dignity
of labor.
- SAthttA hPBAtt3otAOA VI AllC lF
suits of labor should certainly make
the laboring man more contented
with his lot He should, in fact. br
proud TO be numbered among the
creators and upbuilders of this glor-
ious country.
The hard-hearted capitalist is a
ighre in public life that is rapidly
becoming extinct. but If the few
who remain could be induced to feel
the proper respect for labor, then
strike leaders and 'l2de unions
would shortly lind themselves out Of
business.
Let US try and remember that
Labor Day is not dedicated solely for
the purpose of good time, or Of
drinking two much moon shine" and
home brew" but that it is dedicated
to the dignity of laiH,r, the results Of
which make our country what it j.
tOday-the best country in the world

AMERICAN-HA WAIIAN
LINE CUTS DIVIDEND
Reduction Is to Conserve
Cash, Say Officials.

Directors of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company have cut the cor
porations dividend from 81 share a
quarter, which has been paid since 1912
to 70 cents quarter. 1t is payable on
April I. The earnings statement and
balance sheet OF the corporation for the
last year have not been made public.
Officials Of the company said yester-
day that the corporation has been TN
der influences which had disorganized
the business of every other shipping
company and that the reduced dividend
at this time was to conserve liquid
cash.
The corporation was extremely pros
porous during the war. and in cash,
stock and regular dividends has paid
its stockholders more than 800 per cent
since 1916, prior to the increase of it's
capitalization from 5000 TO 100000 shares
or stock
The company's capital was readjusted
when w. a. Hartman bought into the
corporation, taking approximately a
fifth interest IN il. Its capital was in
creased at that time from $1,000 shares
OF 500 par value TO 10000 shares or $40
par value, and in March. 1890, 4S,S30 Of
those shares were offered to its stock
holders for $40 each.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries Bill

MONTPELIER. VT March 10-The Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad is permitted to
consolidate all its subsidiary lines in
Vermont into a single corporation in n
bill passed to-day by the House OF Rep
