SAVE ROAD MONEY
FOR BIGGEST NEED.
REMOVAL WOULD TAKE FUNDS
NEEDED MORE FOR SUM-
MER UPKEEP.

Snow removal from Minnesota
highways is being left to local COM
munities because maintenance funds
are limited and the expense of win
ter road clearing would cripple sum-
mer work which affords greater
benefits to the highway users.
The statement was made this
week by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, and en-
phasizes that highway policies must
serve the greatest good TO the larg-
est number-get the best results
for the general public. The COM
missioner's statement follows:
"The highway department is seri-
ously concerned with the problem
Of keeping the trunk routes open in
winter and would have moved weeks
ago had any practicable, feasible
plan been found. But because of
the heavy expense, the stronger
claims for4oah5 kinds of highway
work, the limits on funds-briefly,
in consideration of the greatest
good for the great majority, the
state cannot justify snow removal
campaign at this early stage of
highway development.
Maintenance funds would be so
reduced that the trunk routes would
be half-kept next summer when
hundreds of tourists and ten times
as many Minnesota people will use
them.
interested communities must con-
tinue to handle the work as in past
years. They may expect big help
from the highway transportation
companies. The state department
will cooperate by permitting the
use of suitable equipment in the
districts and in other ways. 1t al
ready is adopting snow-drift pre-
vention features in new construction
plans.
''It should be remembered that
rural districts are supplied better
winter highway facilities now than
ever before, and also that the bulk
of trunk highway funds come from
motor vehicle owners who use the
trunk routes ten times more in sum-
mer than in winter. We are trying
to give maximum service over a
maximum period of every year but
present conditions will not warrant
big snow removal operations"
Financial conditions which bar
snow removal were outlined in de
tail by John b. Mullen, deputy COM
missioner and chief highway engin-
eer. He said that because of leg
islative delays, the highway mainten-
ance fund fixed by law at $4,000, 600
was virtually intact on June 1 last
year. Now spring breakup and
tions will take about 100000,
leaving a balance of only $780,
900 on June first, he said, and to
use more than 100000 for snow
removal would cut the maintenance
money for the season when it is
most needed to about half that
available last year. For that rea-
son, he added, the department
adopted the plan to conserve the
money for the greatest needs.

of the floor at the meeting of the
Rotary Club Wednesday evening,
with, Tom Miller as chairman.
Chas. Trezona made a very able
and interesting talk on Putting
our house in order at the mines"
in which he called attention to the
work being done by the Oliver
company and it's employees in mak-
ing things safe and avoiding ac-
cidents; the first aid work of the
company; the. mutual1ty plan; the
old age pensions; the assistance to
dependent employees and several
other phases of welfare work as
practiced by. the Oliver. He also
stated that the company was en-
ploying 900 men on the Vermilion
range at the present time.
Lew White told of the banking
business and the standing of the
Federal Reserve banks. Jim Moon
an spoke on business as related to
railroads and dwelt at some length
on the cooperation that should ex-
ist between the public and the
railroad employees.
Final arrangements for attend
ing the District Conference in Du-
luth next week were made. No
meeting will be held here next
wednesday. The NJ E.. church lad
les served an excellent dinner.

ELY WON GAME
VERY EASILY.
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT BENE-
FIT GAME FOR INJURED
PLAYER.

The auditorium was filled when
the whistle blew Friday evening for
the benefit games for the Gilbert
player who had the misfortune to
break his leg here several weeks
ago. The evening opened with an
exhibition by the Presbyterian
and the S. F. of A. teams of the
Junior League which met with the
approval of the spectators. The
Gilbert second team next went on
with the Ely second team and Ely
was trounced.
Three weeks ago the Tower boys
put one over on the Ely players on
the Tower floor and naturally felt
pretty cocky over their win. The
game here Friday was a complete
reversal of the Tower game and
the visitors hardly knew they were
in it, but put up a very plucky
game. The score registered as fol-
lows.

"PEER GYNT"
WELL GIVEN.
AcTORETTES PRESENT READ
INGS AND MUSIC OF IBSEN'S
PEER GYNT.

The Aetorettes presented lbsen's
famous Norwegian Peer Gynt at the
Auditorium " ednesday evening to
an audience which filled the hall.
The presentation was in the nature
of a musical program, all the num-
bers of which conferred around the
adventures of Peer Gynt. TINS
story was presented by readers I'M
medlately preceding each OF the
musical numbers.
The performance opened with an
introduction regarding the author Oh
the play, its presentation on the stage
in this country and its musical set
ting as written by Edward Greg at
the request of lbsen, the author.
This introduction as well as num-
Der of readings following, was given
by Mrs. E. e. Jones. The music OPP
ened with Morning" on the violin
by Mrs. Kenneth Duncan, the lights
being used to represent the morning
at break of day and verging into
daylight. The story next developed
Peer Gynt's character, the readings,
Peer and the Reindeer" and Peer
at the Wedding" setting forth his
fantastic dream of riding reindeer
through the air, and his breaking up
the wedding of his former sweet
heart, Ingrid, following which he was
forced to flee for his life to the for
est. sIngrid's Lament" was the
musical number following this and
was given on two pianos by Mrs. Il.
n. Sutherland and Mrs. Glenn Pow
ers. Proceeding the piano duet, I'm
the Hall of the Mountain King |,
Miss Leone Cooling read the story of
peer Gynt's Faithless Love" and his
meeting with the Troll Kings daugh-
ter, Solveig. Solveig falls deeply in
love with Peer, gives up everything
and goes to share his hiding place in
the forest. ''Solveig's Song" was
here given on the violin by Mrs.
Duncan. The story of the irres-
ponsible Peers love for his aged
mother and his tenderness with her
at the death bed, was portrayed by
Miss Josphine Tiegen, during which
recital, Gases Death, one of the
best known numbers in the suite was
softly played behind the scenes on
the violin, the strain being taken up
as a piano solo by Mrs. Sutherland
at the conclusion of the reading.
Peer next found abroad, the car
abian Dance, played on two pianos
by Mrs. Powers and Mrs. Sutherland,
described his visit to an Arab camp
where he meets Anitra, an adven-
turess, who dances for him. This
was very ably given by Miss Eleanor
Chisholm of Duluth.
Peer Gynt is next found at sea
in a storm in which he would have
persisted but for the prayers of the
faithful Solveig awaiting his return
az the home in the forest. This was
one of the most interesting numbers
of the evening. Miss Helen Hosmer
in native costume, represented Sol
veig seated at her spinning wheel
dreaming of Peer and voicing her
prayer for safety in song. Follow
ing "Peer Gynt's Return Home"
played on two pianos, Peer is found
at his old home, repentant and seek
ing forgiveness from Solveig. The
music and story here were touching
the last musical number being given
by a trio composed of Mrs. B. o.
Strachan, Miss Helen Hosmer and
Miss Lucy Dillon. The trio was

STATE TAXES DROP
NEARLY A MILLION.
NO STATE REVENUE TAXES
THIS YEAR-FIRST TIME IN
STATE HISTORY.

Minnesota tax payers will pay
nearly $1,000,000 less taxes this
year than they did in 1921.
To be specific, taxes levied on
the basis of the 1921 property val
uation and collectable this year,
total $115,818,877.03 as against
$116, 720,461.03 for the previous
year. This difference of $901,-
584.00 in favor of the Taxpayers
of the state.
st. Louis County's contribution
TO this tax collection, including the
statutory three mill tax on credits
or moneys, will be $22,347, aga, 70
The average rate of taxation for
the county; exclusive of special as
sessments is .6042 mills.
The taxable valuation on which
this reduced levy is made is So
452, 539 ,549. and here also de-
crease is noted. This decrease an
proximates $75,000,000 and is ex-
planned in larger part by the omis-
sion of motor vehicles from the
personal property valuation. Here
tofore such were valued and taxed
the same as other personal pro-
perty, but now they are a part of
the good roads revenue of the state
and are so listed.
Figures compiled by R. P. Chase,
State Auditor, covering tax levies
for the past two years, their dis
trlbution and the valuation on
which they are based have Just been
made public and their study is of
vital interest to the taxpayers of
the state. They are most enlight-
ening since they demonstrate be-
yond contradiction the source of
the tax burdens and where relief
may be obtained if desired.
The dominating feature of the
1921 tax levy, and which less than
100000 is demanded, a cut of
nearly $3,000,000 when compared
