THE ETERNAL TAX QUESTION

II the tax reduction crusade is to
get us anywhere, we will have to
give up the things that we pay taxes
for. There's no eating our cake and
having it too. We feel that we must
have decent roads, good schools, wat
erworks systems, paved streets and
electric lights. And these are the
things that cost the money. Grip
pling the state university and the
state college, cutting out agricultural
extension work and county agents,
will deprive the commonwealth of a
real and beneficial service, worth far
more than it costs, and result in no
appreciable saving to the taxpayer.
II the axe be thus applied in spirit
Of false economy, the taxpayer will
never see the chips, since the far
greater portion Of his tax money is
spent for tangible things right in his
own community. Economy, like char
ity, should then begin at home, if he
feels that he must economize. 1t is
situation the taxpayer seldom sees
because he doesn't want to see it.
Thus Superintendent Green was lis
tened to with manifest impatience at
the Pendleton meeting when he
pointed out that Umatilla's high
school costs $3.50 annually per pupil
and that one district near Pendleton
pays $500 each year for the privi-
lege Of educating just one child. Yet
he gave concrete examples of where
genuine saving could be effected,
while most of the speakers used a
verbal scatter gun and hit nothing.

WATER COMMITTEE MAKES
OFFER TO BUY EQUIPMENT
The Matter of Hurley Purchasing
Water Plant Is Now Up to the Of
ficiaIs of the Company Owners.

The question of whether or not
the city of Hurley should purchase
the equipment of the old Hurley
Water company, which has been
discussed pro and con for some
time, will probably be settled at the
next meeting of the city council !,
depending on the attitude of the
water company.
A committee appointed by the
mayor, comprised of Aldermen,
Bonino, Lancer and Rubatt, has
been working on the proposition
for some time and Thursday after
noon met with officials of the Iron
wood & Bessemer Railway and
Light company in the office of
City Attorney Ruggles. The meet
ing was largely for the purpose of
agreeing on the price to be paid for
the equipment. An engineer from
Duluth has been here for a few
weeks making a survey of the
water equipment and working with
the committee in placing a value
on the same. As a result of the
session with the water company

officials the committee made an
offer of purchase price. which the
officials agreed to take Amusement
and make known their decision in
a few days. The offer made by
the committee has not been made
public but is understood to have
been about S10,0 less than the
value placed by the water COM
pany Should the water company
decide to accept the offer the COM
mittee will recommend to the
council at its next meeting that the
equipment be purchased. 1t is ex-
pected that the council will take
favorable action i'll the matter.
Should the proposition be favor
ed by the council Hurley would
come into possession of the equip
ment now used to furnish water
for fire protection and to private
consumers in the city under con-
tract with the city of Ironwood.
The equipment includes mains,
hydrants. ETC., and the meters re-

Throughout the state an average
of about ten arrests annually have
been made in recent years of men
trapping beaver without license.
Obviously the protecting laws have
been we'll observed, and the toll of
beaver comparatively light.
In spite of this record, the
beavers "close CALI i'll 1905 made
many of the 1927 legislators
reluctant to open the season for two
full months each year.
Representatives of the conserva-
ton commission, however, made no
fight against the passage of the
present law. 1t was apparent,
from the commission volume of
correspondence carried on about
beaver, that this Woodworking
rodent was a great nuisance TO
many distressed farmers. The
commission was constantly being
importuned to send someone who
could fulfil the law which required
aid from commission deputy
when obnoxious beaver had to be
removed or DESTROYED. The con-
slant damming of streams, flooding
of low spots and destruction of
promising trees had hardened the
hearts of men who ordinarily want
ed to see beaver preserved.
The commission purposed, more
over, to keep close watch of de
velopmeuts in the beaver trapping
situation. The fact that $500 50
was received from would. be trapp-
ers-for beaver licenses and tags
during a winter when a law was
only talked about, was alarming
evidence that lots of men were
waiting to trap beaver as soon as
the act was legally possible.
The commissions application
form carried concise directions at
the bottom. The man who puts
on paper a confession Of his desire
to trap beaver is requested to tear
off slip which acquaints him with
these facts:
