TARIFF BILL PASSES SENATE
Message Will Be Returned To The
House For a Conference.

Washington-After four months Of
debate the senate has passed the Nc
Cumber tariff bill, designed to yield an
annual revenue Of $400,OO0,00O This
is $50,0O0,OO0 greater than customs
duties ever produced. The vote on
passage Of the bill was 48 to Is. Sen
ator w. e. Borah OF Idaho was the
only republican voting in the negative
Among republicans who voted for
the bill were Senators Irvine Lenroot
of Wisconsin and w. L. Jones of
Washington, who served natice that
they may vote against the conference
report, unless many reductions in du.
ties are made
Mr.. Fordney predicted the confer
ences will complete their work in a
month and that the bill will be on the
statute books before the election.
There are many who doubt this, who
believe final enactment will be de-
layed until November or December.
The duties in the senate bill are
higher in many instances than in the
house bill. Particularly is this true

VILLAGE ELECTION
NEXT SATURDAY
SHALL THE VILLAGE BUY the
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT?

Next Saturday there will be spe-
cial election to decide the question
of having municipally-owned cleo
trio light plant. The plant is in
stalled and being operated so that
we know what we are buying. The
point to be considered is, "Would it
be to the advantage Of the average
citizen and to the village as an or
ganization to own this plant?"
To begin with, the plant cost $751;
10000 and little over by the time
it was installed. There has been add
ed over $2,0OO.OO in extensions and
meter boxes. And it has been ap-
praised by an expert as being worth
$4,000. 90. So the village would be
getting it at cost or trifle less, and
for $2,000.00 less than the appraised
valuation.
The greater part of the value of
plant such as this is in the poles,
wire and meters. That part of the
plant is slow to depreciate. The en-
gines, which are only worth about
$4,000. 90, would be expected to de-
preciate more rapidly, and more
could be charged off for depreciation
each year for that part Of the plant.
Nevertheless, they will run as long
as they are kept in repair and broken
parts replaced.
To be in private hands, the rate will
be kept at the present high mark in
definitely; the village would reduce
the rate as soon as the income would
justify it, which ought to be right
away, as lowering Of the rate would
increase the consumption and it costs
little more to operate the plant at
the peak than at the minimum. And
the village has just started to de-
velop.
The people will have to pay for the
plant anyway, and it would be bet
ter to own it, than to be compelled
to give it back to the present own
ers after it is paid for.
The present owners who have TAX
en- the responsibility upon themselves
of paying for the plant did SO in the
first place as a matter of civic pride
They must not be expected to shoul-
der this extra worry gratis. The
plant will pay a dividend and the
profit bug will get in his work as
the business increases and the viii
lage expands.
DO NOT BE LUKEWARM about
this matter. You must be either for
it or against it. Go to the polls and
vote yes or no.

Hoover Demands Fair Coal Prices
Of Coal Barons.

Washington-Immediate action for
the proper protection of the public in
the price of coal produced in Ohio was
asked of Governor H. l.. Davis by

that coal mines now opening under
the Cleveland agreement in Ohio are
demanding from 81 to $40 ton and
the public utilities Of Ohio are asking
us for priority orders against South.

"You will see that in this situation,
if we give priorities, it would not be
just to the operators or to persons in
great need of coal in other states in

Ohio"
The coal purchasing agency expect
ed to be created by Congress will take

Harding Plan to Resume

MISUNDERSTANDING Industrial

Parties to both disputes agreed with
President Harding on the main point
work to be resumed at once, upon

Warren S. Stone, spokesman for

The seniority dispute was in obey

it will not stand in the way of peace.
The house probably will act next
week on the presidents request for a
federal coal commission to make a
complete investigation Of the mining
industry in the hope that solution
for preventing the frequently recur-
ring coal strikes may be found. The
commission would be empowered to

THE SUNDAY TEA

W1rH1N the last few years the
w custom Of tea serving on Sunday
afternoon has been growing, especially
in the large cities or city suburbs.
Usually these teas are informal and
there are no special invitations for them
perhaps that is why they have proved
so popular. IF you are out Sunday
afternoon. drop in and have a cup OF
tea with US; the Joneses will probably
be around" That is about all there
is to the usual invitation And you
60 and the Joneses are there and some
interesting people whom you have
never met and there is perhaps a little
music and If it is warm day all
will stroll through the garden and you
60 home feeling that you are much
better off because of this little tea
party"
To be sure there are some persons
who would feel that this sort Of thing
was not quite in keeping with the
spirit Of Sunday and those people
YOU would Of course not invite to
have tea with you on that afternoon,
though the chances are that those
very people would accept an invitation
to go motoring on that day or would
have dinner at a hotel in order to
tighten their own household cares.
Easter day, like other festive days,
is with many people a day when they
like to see their friends and exchange
the seasons greetings ands for that
reason the Easter Sunday afternoon
tea is looked upon with favor among
such persons. Whatever may be your
own attitude toward dancing on Sun
day among most Americans there is
still prejudice against it, as there
is against the playing Of the "noisier''
sort Of dance music This is not
really so much a matter Of religious
principle with a good many people but
one of respect for time honored GUS
tom.
One thing that especially recon-
mends these little Sunday social
gatherings is that since most American
men regardpit as g normal state of
affairs to have to work for six days
in the week Sunday is the only
time when we can have an afternoon
party that Is attended by both men
and women.

WORK TO START
ON NEW HOTEL
THE FOUNDATION NOW COM
PLETED AND WORK ON THE
MAIN STRUCTURE TO
BEGIN. THIS WEEK..
The Building of the New Hotel Is
Being Financed by Messrs. Ran
dali & Dunn, of Duluth,
bv a Bond Issue,

The constantly increasing tide of
tourist travel along the North Shore
of Lake Superior has required the
building of thoroughly modern ho-
tel at Grand Marais. For the past
two years the hotel accommodations
have been taxed to the limit This
year the volume of travel has already
exceeded any former year and the
prospects are that the many new de-
velopments along the Duluth-Port
Arthur Highway will bring a verit-
able flood of travel next year. In
years to come it is certain that the
motor travelling public are going to
turn to this Northern Lake region
as never before.
This influx of high class travel far
exceeds the effort being made to
handle it. These people want COM
fort at the end of the days jour-
ney. They want water and plenty Of
it.: they want bath and a good din
ner. Furthermore they are willing
to pay for it. There is no class Of
travel more worth catering to than
the summer tourist. He has money
and expects to spend it. The better
the accommodation offered, the more
cheerfully he will pay for It.
Andert & Spooner now operate the
Tourist Hotel at Grand Marais and
have it thoroughly equipped with
modern plumbing, soft beds and rec
reation rooms. They have been op-
Grating successfully for three seasons.
However, they need more space, and
the $65,000 structure now being
erected is the outcome of that need.
At present the people to whom ac-
commodation must be refused are
obliged to press along the road to
Fort William or Port Arthur (85
miles east) or to Duluth (127 miles
West) if they would be housed in
comfort, or they must camp out.
That income is lost and no one the
gamer by it. For this reason Andert
& Spooner have begun one of the
finest tourist hotels in the North
country.
The New Grand Marais' Hotel will
contain 80 good sized rooms Every
room will have hot and cold water.
Fifteen shower baths are provided
and sufficient number of tubs
Several rooms are furnished with pri-
vate bath rooms. Every room is an
outside room fronting either on the
harbor or looking out into the pine
woods. A large lobby, comfortably
furnished, spacious dining room and
a commodious kitchen make up the
balance of the hotel.
