: Toxic Crowd.

TOXIC, Japan, January 30.-"We

ference to the peoples fair judg-
ment," said Prince Tokugawa on his
arrival from Washington this morn
ing. II do not wish to comment on
it personally"
The thousands of persons who sur
rounded the railroad station when
Tokugawa emerged were kept dis
tance of several hundred yards. The
police took this exceptional precau-
ton because of last nights mass
meeting at which was adopted a reso-
luton condemning Prince Tokugawa's s
statement in Honolulu praising the
conference.
The prince said he intended to re-
port to the government Immediately
as that was the sole purpose OF his
early return, but he will await Ad-
miral Kato's arrival before publicly
discussing Japan's share in the con-
ference results.

TWENTY YEARS Ago.
Taken from The Ely Miner .
the same date in 1902.


Two hundred or more miners at
the Sparta and Malta mines on the
Mesaba went out on a strike July
1. The men demand an increase
in pay consistent with going wages
on the ranges, viz. $500 per day.
The companies have conceded $1.9O
per day and many of the men have
returned to work on this scale. A
force of deputies have been sent
by Sheriff Sargen. to see that order
prevails. 1t was reported early in
the week that a carload of Italians
was on the way to take the strik-
er's places and considerable excite
ment was manifest, but no Italians
appeared.
The rumor of a large discovery
of soft ore near Grand Marais in
Cook county last week was run
down to a bare nothing. However,
several very influential mining men
still assert that a second Mesaba
will be discovered in Cook county
and tina. at no distant day. Large
blocks of reputsd mining lands
have been taken up by Twin city
people and considerable exploring
has been done.
Odin Halden, st. Louis county's
candidate for state auditor, was de-
feated at The state convention in
st. Paul Tuesday. The defeat was
due to the antipathy of the grang-
er delegates from the southern par.
of the state to any move eminating
from the northern end-St. Louis
county and The ranges in particular.
The party seconding the nomina-
ton of Jacobson for auditor in
timated that ga man was wanted
who would cause the taxes from
the rich ranges to flow into the
Golfers of the state" This plainly
shows the feeling of the granger
towards st. Louis county.

mechanic of the Fayal shops at

on this and the Mesaba range are
pleased at his return to the iron
district.
Amos Sheppard, well known in
this city and throughout the county
is now general manager of the
Corrigan-McKinney interests on the

formerly of Soudan but later of

The Oliver Iron Mining Co., and
the various independent iron mining
companies, are taking their appeal
from the decision in the Minnesota
occupation tax, direct to the United
States supreme court. A judge of
the United States district court held
that the tax is valid. Appeal papers
are now being prepared. The oc-
cupation tax is the vehicle employed
by the Minnesota legislature to exact
excess taxation from the iron mining
companies. 1t has been brought
forward to take the place of the pro-
posed tonnage tax, which had fallen
into disrepute when the mining COM
panies made it clear to the public
that the measure was plain i'm
position upon an industry already
heavily burdened by taxes.-Skil-
ling's Mining Review.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-07-07
RESPONSIBLE FOR TAXES.

The Hibbing Daily Tribune COM
ments as follows regarding the tax
situation which now confronts this
country:
"Taxes have grown and multi
piled themselv"s up until they are
almost impossible to be borne. In
fact, a serious factor in the bust
ness depression which exists today
is the burdensome, ever-mounting
tax rate.
at is but a few years since a
tax rate of per cent was regarded
as excessive. The community that
escapes today with a tax levy of 5
per cent is lucky community. Six
per cent is low rate; most COM
munities pay 7, 8 and 9, and some
as high as IL and IL.
"What are we going to do about
it.
"There are three things that may
be done. Find new sources OF
revenue, economize on public ex-
penditures or make up our minds
that we are getting our moneys
worth.
at is hard to say which of the
three is The most difficult of ac-
complishment. There is no doubt
whatever that we are getting our
moneys worth, if we consider the
marvellous things we get in The way
Sof education, sanitation, protection,
securely of life, liberty of action,
and all the other innumerable bless
ings of a free country, the money
we pay for tays unquestionably
yields us bigger returns than the
money we pay out for any other
thing. Even with all the waste thai
exists, this is absolutely true. Yet
it is equally true that there is
serious waste that ought to be
eliminated, equally true that public
expenditures if efficiently managed,
can be enormously reduced an6 still
produce good results.
"The search for new sources Of
revenue is constant, but it is sad
commentary upon our wasteful
methods of government tina. every
time a new source is found, new
expenditures are Immediately under
taken. The tonnage tax law which
has not yet brought The state a
cent, and which will never result
in bringing much, if any, additional
revenue, has already been the ex-
cuse for many attempted raids on
the state treasury. Moreover, a
tax under another name is a tax
just the same. The public can
endure just so much taxation and
no more-whetner it is levied as a
direc. millage tax, as an income
tax, a gross earnings tax on rail-
roads, or whatnot. In the end the
whole people have to pay all these
taxes, and if we find new source
of revenue, the find is only appar-
ent, for in the end The people must
pay it.
"The only sound solution is econ
omy-and economy is the hardest
of all three to get. Everybody ap-
plauds it, everybody demands it
and everybody does everything in
his power 90 prevent it. How
many delegations visit the city
council, the county board, the state
legislature, asking specific reduc-
tions in appropriations? No. one
where there are hudreds demanding
money for claims, for the creation
of new jobs, for parks, for ten
thousand and one other things.
''The present village council was
elected on mandate from the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-07-07

ing is the simplest kind Of economy.
1t forgets that good road is worth
many times its cost.
"The Babcock plan is for adequate
roads, with traffic and other condi-
tions considered-and not necessarily
for hard-surfaced roads. Official
records show that the state highway
department is giving preference to
grading and crawling over paving
improvements. The plan does pro-
vide for trunk highway bond issues
and on the principal that good roads
easily return the original outlay with
all interest and other charges and a
net profit besides"
The Leader agrees in the present
stage of highway development in
Minnesota long mileages Of gravel
roads are of greater value than short
pavements but, it emphasizes, only
where the gravel surface is adequate
to traffic demands. "We have OBJ
served that when travel on a road
increases to certain point, l. is
waste of money 10 try to maintain a
gravel surface and just plain, COM
mon sense to pave the road, borrow
ing the money when necessary" con-
tinues the Leader. "The sooner the
state reduces heavy maintenance ex-
penditures by paving heavy traffic
sections, the faster will funds be re-
leased for other more permanent bet
terments and the farther will be
spread benefits already accruing in
big measure from the highway pro-
gram.
GA state road bond may earn up to
five per cent interest, but a stitch in
time saves nine."

A salesman sold bill of goods to
a merchant in a small town. They
were returned as not satisfactory
The wholesale house undertook to col
lect anyway, and drew a sight draft
on the bank at the customers town.
The bank returned the draft unpaid.
Then the house wrote to the village
postmaster and asked if the merchant
was good for the amount of the bill.
The letter was returned o. KID at the
bottom. Next the postmaster was
asked to put the bill in the hands of
a local lawyer for collection. The
answer received by the wholesalers
ran as follows: "The undersigned is
the merchant on whom you tried to
palm off your worthless junk. The
undersigned is also the president of
the bank that returned your draft.
The undersigned is the postmaster to
whom you wrote, and also the lawyer
whom you tried to get to collect your

With the dissatisfaction being ex-
pressed in the range towns over the
base ball frosts at high costs furnish
ed the fans, we desire to call a.ten-
ton to the real exhibitions put up by
the Ely players who are in the game
for the sport. Not one man in The
Ely team is receiving anything more
than the plaudite and the kicks and
jeers of the home people and all are
residents of the city and home boys.
We are to be congratulated on the
article of ball given us at the price
Of admission. 1t is very probable
that high-priced base ball in the
range towns will eventually give way
to high-class base ball. There is coma
siderable difference between a sports
man and a sport.
