The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1923-06-09

i
Witts. IN Virginia, . burgh often
called the Queen City Of the Mesaba.
In Wisconsin, state roads are
constructed with money provided by
. tax levy, thereby avoiding bonds
and other unpaid obligations. What
Wisconsin does, Minnesota easily
can do.
The Rip-saw's pile of exchanges
II much more worth digging into,
now that w. r. Noonan has c" sed
legislating In st. Paul and. aga'l
mounted the tripod Of the Baudette
Region.
Now that the July school cleo
ton draws near, julius II. Barnes
may be expected to spring the
happy surprise in connection with
utilization Of the idle Riverside
ship-yards.
II Rev. John g. Schaibly's ex-
periencs is any indication, the auto
cratic members of the board of
education bride any director who
will not fall for coaxing, bluffing
or bulldozing.
II = new city hall is erected, let
It be one In keeping with the
courthouse and the future federal
building. II there is lack Of M ley
In sight, then take more time and
build more slowly.
Il IL alleged that the Bitulithio
Gang has not secured worth
while street paving contract in all
Minnesota this season. Wisconsin
seems to be their favored field
for prowlins just now.
It's about time for bevies Of
department store beauties to den up
in some summer cottage on Park
Point and then startle the natives
by rambling about in gaudy and
abbreviated bathing suits.
Owing to defective work in the
public schools. especially in adding.
substracting, multiplying and divid-
ing, supt. Bentley has arranged for
summer schools in several buildings
in the dear old vacation time.
II you wish credit for having
good Judgment and showing appre-
citation to q man true to principle,
dear old farmer-labor voter, the
only consistent thing you can do ID
to vote for Charles A. Lindberg.
Anything worth. having, like a
church or boat club, can be main
tanned If there is proper pride and
enterprise. Neither a church nor
Z boat club should permit Itself
to become an object Of charity.
Madam director Barnes and her
lieutenants may elect the candidates
on their ticket in the next school
election, but notice hereby is served
that they never will pull through
the proposed 100000 bond is
sue.
II Vic. Power goes to the q. 8.
senate. It probably will kill Col.
Hitchcock's congressional bee. 1t
should not, however. prove an OBJ
stacle to running Old Dad Atkin-
son for governor on the democratic
ticket.
II the sly old republican party
wishes to admit Northern Mime
sota into the family, 1t can do 80
very neatly by making Vic. Power
u. 8. senator. He undoubtedly will
be more than willing to have 1t
done that way.
Building bob-tailed city hall
on the selected site would be about
like putting up a two-stOry structure
by the side of the noble Alworth
building. There is entirely too many
such small-town stunts pulled Off
in this fresh-water city.
Odin Halden either should keep
his supply Of alcohol and grape
1uice out of the noble capitol
building or he should stay out
himself. The rooms OF the state
tax commission are not proper
place to maintain Dnnopl8.&
.
II you wish to see something
that will open your eyes and make
you feel just a bit more proud OF
Duluth, take a ,looksee at the NC
Dougall terminal building down on
the waterfront, not far from where
the passenger boats come In.
Instead Of issuing bonds for
for every little thing, provide for
the sexpenss in the tax levy, get
the money in the treasury and
then build for cash. There Is such
q thing as putting too big load
on the shoulders Of posterity.
Il Sen. Charles e. Adams were
as good at dealing from the bot
tom Of the deck as the old head
sawyer is at running the Great
Family Journal, he would have
saltwater" Sullivan backed en-
tirely out of the senate chamber.
Many a man has learned to his
