The annual school election takes
place tomorrow. The candidates
for director before the people are
DIR. H. j. Lockhart, Jack Gianotti,
Leonard Slabodnik and David Berg
lund. Two are to be chosen. The
campaign waged the past week has
been fast and furious and some
of the material circulated from
mouth to mouth, is neither good
for the schools, the city nor the
people who listen to it and pass it
on. The candidates are too well
known to need any of that stuff
and surely the voter is wise enough
to pick two from the list who can
fill the positions with credit, both
to themselves and the district.
Personal business matters should
not enter into an election where
officers are to be chosen to serve
all the people. Vote for those
most capable of serving the dis
Ttrict.

METHODIST CHURCH.

Sunday School, l,----10:00 A. M.
Preaching Service 100 A. M.
Welcome
The Vocation Bible School, has
now been in session for one week
We start out on our second week
Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Thus
far the school has proven a COM
plete success; the children are all
enthusiastic for it, and the know
ledge gained will prove invaluable
to them. Without doubt, this
is the greatest of all religious edu-
cational movements for the young
folks that has ever swept over the
United States of America. This
movement is like the Radio system,
we are only, as yet, in the expert
mental stage. It's full possibilities
are all unknown. Send your child
rem Monday if you have not start
ed them as yet. We have classes
for all from four years to fourteen
years.
We welcome you to the morn
ing service of preaching and wor-
ship on Sunday.

According to our way of think
ing, the Occupation tax" or ton
age tax can be most effectively
squelched at the next session of
the legislature if the law-making
body will only apply the tax, or
more directly speaking, the graft,
to all occupations at present known
or to become known in the future.
Farming, printing, doctoring, law,
merchants, electricians, plumbers,
hotels, picture houses, city en-
ployes, railroad men, soft drink
parlors, BARRIERS, garages, and a
hundred and one other occupations
could be made to pay as well as
the miners. Should this be done,
the down-Aate bunch would forget
all about it and the thing would
die naturally and easily. Fight
fire with fire.

the same date in 1902.

Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Desjardins, Rev. Logan of the M.
E. church, prnounced the words
that made Joseph HI. Cowling and
Miss Cora Wylie, man and wife.
Floyd Wylie and Miss Cora Thomas
were groomsman and bridesmaid.
Only immediate members of the
family were present at the cere-
mony.
The Ely Times has again revert

the paper has changed hands since
1895. H. B. Rogers, the last to
try his hand (mouth) held out for
a year. He began with much wind
and ended as meek as lamb. He
did the same in several other towns
and those who befriended him paid
the freight.
Word has been received that Mr..

President M. E. Gleason of the

where meeting of the executive
board was held to make arrange

-Four years ago Tuesday Ely was
visited by miniature tornado and
several buildings were unroofed.

J. R. Meining travelling for the
Duluth Candy Company and in
cidentally a candidate for sheriff,
was in the city Tuesday.
Mrs. H. Logan conducted services
at the M. E. church Sunday during
the absence of Rev. Logan in Duluth
the latter part of last week.
The board recently appointed by
the judges of the district court to
appraise the value of the lands
sought by the city for the water
supply, met here Monday and per-
formed their work. They were, W..
H. Hoyt of Duluth, VIM. McQuade
of Tower and P. T. Brownell of
this CITY,. The appraisers have not
as yet made their decision public
but from expressions heard we would
infer that the land is not worth
more than a million or so In view
OF the fact that the party owning
the same secures nearly 100000
yearly in revenues from the city,
it would appear as if he could
make good fellow of himself and
say, "take the swamp and be hap

IF there were no other reason
for the existence of The American
Legion than the battle for the care
of the sick and disabled, that
would be enough" says National
Commander Hanford MacNider,
'tand we intend to keep that battle
through the Legion's entire exist
ence."
While the confusion, red tape,
shortsightedness, public apathy and
selfishness that has contributed to
the ineficiency of ministering to
the disabled of the world war has
succumbed somewhat to the attack
of The Legion, there are still thous-
ands of veterans whose cases may,
or may not, be traceable to military
service, undergoing inexcusable suf-
fering, insanity, and death while
the government hospital building
program is delayed.
Months ago the Minnesota De-
partment of the American Legion,
cognizant of the urgent need for
medical and surgical care, minus
red tape and technicalities but pro-
ductive of results, established an
arrangement whereby the services
of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester
were placed at the disposition of all
former service men and women.
Where those seeking aid are with
out means, all professional services
rendered are without charge.
The idea grew until it became
evident that cOncr tie program of
service extending the benefits Of
fered to all sick and disabled vet
Grams should be inaugurated. The
state Executive Committee then
formulated a tentative plan for the
Minnesota Legion Memorial Hos
pltal which will be presented to the
State Convention at Virginia in
August for final ratification.
An unusually liberal policy is be-
ing pursued by The Legion and the
Mayo Clinic. Service is provided
regardless of the origin of the sick
ness or disability, and in all cases
where patients are without financial
means there are no charges.

the fiscal year as made at present
cover the period from July l to

The remedy is already being applied

trying to find out In detail where the
money comes from which you pay to

and how properly to apportion It
among the spending agencies Of the

begun. That Is the important thing.

The chief defects, or places where
waste is apparent in the conduct of

l have pointed out in these articles,
have been, first, the excessive proper

Of expenditures, which have been in

"Thls fine response to your request
from the heads of the departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, incidental to your assump-
tion of responsibility as the business
head of governmental administration,
infers the existence in their minds Of
three principles involving improve.
ment in governmental business, which
should not be overlooked. 81.
First, that the business organiza.
tion of government hereafter assumes
that the minimum amount Of money
to be expended in any fiscal year is
not, of necessity, the sum appropri-
ated in advance by congress. but the
smallest amount upon which the busl-
ness of the government can be efti-
clently administered under the pro-
gram outlined by congress.
"Second, that the minds Of the busi-
ness administrators Of government
have been diverted from a too easy
reliance upon the custom of deficiency.
appropriations.
"Third. that where congress has d.
rected the expenditure of certain sums
for specific purposes, an executive
pressure will now be exerted for more
efficient and economical administration
in order to produce greater result from
the given expenditure, and also wher-
ever possible, to complete the given
project for less amount than the
total appropriated for the purpose" s I.
The budget system was established
because of an acute public interest In
the expenditures of government, ac-
lively and continuously displayed by
the tax payers. 1t was established in
response to public demand. The
house OF, representatives has changed
:, ppropriating money to con-
the budget system. It has
sle great appropriation commit
~ .5hich authorizes all the expendi-
les for the house. The senate has
: ,-ot followed suit. If this newly in
.ttalled budget system is to be a sue
cess it must have your active support
and understanding and derive an added
authority from your approval and sup
port.
