FINE RECITAL BY
REAL ARTISTS.
FILLED ON APP
PEARANCE OF NOTED EDI-
SON ARTISTS.

Probably number of people who
attended the recital given Wednes-
day evening by Miss Helen Davis,
Victor Young and Samuel Hunger
ford at the Washington Auditorium
were at first puzzled and disappoint-
ed when they discovered a phono-
graph cabinet occupying the center
of the stage.
They hardly were treasured when
Mr.. Young. appeared on the stage
and announced that Miss Davis had
been delayed and, rather than dis
appoint the audience, recreation
he called it-of Miss Davis would
be played on the monograph. Our
suspicious swere confirmed. We
were to hear only a phonograph.
But, little did we dream what an
amazing monograph it was. Miss
Davis golden notes emanating from
the grille of the New Edison scared
over the auditorium in all their
beauty. Suddenly we heard an
other voice, or rather the same
voice, coming from behind the
scenes. Miss Davis had arrived and
was singing In unison with her re-
created self. She continued sing
ing while walking toward the New
Edison. The effect of two voices,
OF the same exquisite quality, COM
ing from two different places, was
indeed a new sensation and brought
all under its magic spell Miss Da-
Wis reached the side of the machine
and during the remainder of the
song, paused from time to time.
apparently at random and permitted
her re-created performance to be
heard alone. This gave an oppor-
,tunity to compare with it the other,
and it IS no more than Just to state
that there was not the slightest
shade of difference between the re-
created voice and the original voice.
In the course of the evening SIM
liar tests were made by Mr.. Young
and Mr.. Hungerford with the same
miraculous results. There must have
been slight difference in volume
when the artists stopped singing or
playing but it was not noticeable
for the tone which came from the
cabinet was round and luscious with
all of the vibrant, pulsating quail
ity of that which came directly
from Miss Davis throat or the in.
struments of Mr.. Young and Mr..
Hungerford. 1t was only by watch
ing the singers lips or the violin
lists bow and piano keys that one
could be sure when they sang or
played and when they did not.
This proof was convincing. If it
were not, another proof was offered.
After Miss Davis had begun to
sing one number the lights were
turned out-ostensibly so that the
audience could not watch the sing
er's lips. 1t did not seem difficult
to determine in the dark when the
singer sang and when she did moi.
The writer was pretty sure of it
himself until the lights were turned
on again and it was discoveries
that Miss Davis was not on the
stage at all and that the New Edi-
son alone had been heard.
The large audience pronounced
the recital one of the finest ever
heard here and each and every
number was vociferously encored.
The audience has the SavoIaifien
company to thank for getting these
artists to this city.

COMMISSION SEES
TAX PROBLEMS
SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE BODY
FINISHES RANGE TRIP.
SATURDAY.

The special legislative commits
sion on taxation completed its trip
over the iron ranges of the state
Saturday with an inspection of the
Duluth Steel Plant.
The commission has not as yet
attempted to formulate program,
or even think about definite recon-
mendations. No formal meetings
were held either before or during
the trip and the members have not
interchanged ideas.
1--WE all are. convinced that North
ern Minnesota has a multitude of
tax problems which should be given
serious study" said w. l. Nolan,
speaker of the house, tonight. "All
we could do on this most interest
ing tour was to get rapid first
hand glimpse of the situation which
of course will be valuable later OH.
"The development of the forests
and mines of the state is of prime
Importance to every citizen and
never before had / realized the full
significance of this now obvious
fact.
eve have been told that our
system of taxation interferes with
both of these basic industries and
it is the duty of the commission to
carefully weigh all the factors and
recommend relief measures if nee
essary. One thing is certain, there
is a crying need for some sane and
adequate reforestation program and
there is no doubt but that much
good can be accomplished in this
direction by some tax legislation
which will relieve growing trees of
more than nominal burden until
they reach maturity. This is vital"
Other members of the commits
sion expressed themselves in sim
liar vein. 1t seemed also to be the
quite general opinion that some
plan should be devised to relieve
explorers for iron ore from high
taxation should they make a find.
At present all new discoveries are
placed at once on the tax rolls,
even though the mine may not be
opened up for several years. As
a result exploration work has ceased
for several years, the operators
fearing a tax penalty which in
their opinion would more than off
set any benefits they may derive
from discovering a reserve supply
which might not be adapted to or
suitable for mining for decade or
more.
Problems of the small independ-
ent operator also will be considered
and the alleged excessive expendi-
lures of the iron range municipal
tiles will receive considerable at
tention. 1t is believed by the COM
mission members that the trip has
been a most fruitful one and that
they now will be able to tackle the
big job of revising the Minnesota
tax code with a full appreciation
of the needs of a section of the
state which has long clamored for
certain forms of relief from the
onslaughts of misguided members
of the legislature from southern
sections of the state.

VIII Enforce Auto Laws.

Reports of numerous violations
of the motor vehicle license law IN
all parts of the state reaching the
capitol in st. Paul, Clifford L. Hill
tom, attorney general, this week
issued statement to the effect
that willful neglect 70 enforce the
law is ground for removal pro-
ceedings against Off ding officials
as well as prosecutioR of those who
violate the statute.
Reports of more than 100 al
legged violations in two small cities,
were among those on which Mike
Holm, secretary of state, ordered
immediate investigation, adding
that drastic action will be taken
where conditions demand.
General Hilton made an appeal
for public support for the effective
license law drive I'm Justice to
more than 100000 Minnesota car
owners who have paid proper mo-
tor vehicle taxes, and to encourage
respect for the law, all good citi-
zens will assist local officials by
calling their attention to viola
tions," he said. Efforts to collect
the taxes should be given popular
support. | am informed that sew
eral hundred thousand dollars more
will be added to the state highway
fund when delinquent licenses are
paid. Every citizen in the state
is interested in highway develop
ment and by proper vigilance on
the part of the public at large and
of the local officials the end de-
sired will be attained"
Secretary Holm said that speci-
nc reports of violations sent to his
office will be treated in confidence
and promptly investigated.

That old saying about oppor-
tunity knocking but once gets our
goat. Opportunity is the busiest
average person would just give it
a chance to show what it could do,
we all would be making good iv-
ing.
Opportunity is the best little
knocker in the world. It's knock
ing all the time. Even when you
are about half asleep, something
comes to your mind, which if it was
carried out it would mean success.
That was opportunity knocking.
If you'd stop to think, oppor-
tunity is taking a crack at you
right now-trying to convince you
that The Miner is the best advertis-
ing medium in the world, so far
as you are concerned, and if you
don't grab that opportunity by the
hind leg and choke it into submits
sion, don't blame US if your bank
balance begins to wear sort of
pink complexion.
Any human being can take adj
vantage of opportunity. The only
thing that cannot take that advan-
tage is something without life. As
an illustration: if the statue of
Liberty had been a real woman
she'd have had more lovers than
French soldier had coolies. She
had the opportunity but she could
MT take the advantage.
We love the statue of Liberty
but don't fail to remember that
we'd rather be our own sweet self
than to be the statue of Liberty
and we don't want to feel that you
are on that order and cannot take
advantage of the opportunity which
is being given you right now.

LISTED.

Minnesota highways in this and
other sections of the state are be-
ginning to show results under the
Babcock plan, according to reports
from district maintenance supefin-
tendents in the highway depart
ment.
Contract projects show satisfac-
tory progress in general, due in
part to a favorable season for out
door work, the superintendent
state. Patrolmen and other main
tenance forces, following the recent
rains, have succeeded in smoothing
the trunk routes and more than
half the mileage of trunk routes
is rated excellent and most of the
remainder as fair or better
Contractors well up to time
schedules, hundreds of employees
face layoffs this month and will be
jobless as far as road work is con-
cerned if funds are not provided
to enable the state to continue
highway work this winter.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, is in Washing

ports that on this temporary route
between Duluth and Biwabik, traf-
fic around st. Louis construction
work is being detoured on the

vanced and construction progress
is rated favorable.
Trunk Highway No. IS.
Between Chisholm and Virginia
construction work shows good pro-
gress and clearing and grubbing is
about go per cent completed. Sub
grade work was delayed by the
rains.
West of Mountain Iron the high
way is closed, but detour is well
marked.
Between Elba and Mckinley,
the detour is being gravel surfaced
and more rapid progress is being
made. Clearing is finished, grub
bling practically done and the sub
grade work is well started.
On the Aurora Tower section.

have been completed
Between Tower aud Ely, clear
ing and grubbing is well advanced
and grading soon will be in full

to detour. The old 1Dad between
McComber and Tower will not be
touched while between here and
