UNSOLD STATE LAND
FUND APPORTIONED

st. Louis County is receiving
S8,343.61 from the State Auditor
this week on account of the unsold
state land within the state.
The Legislature at each Session
appropriates $4,000 a year to dis
tribute to the counties of the state
in proportion to the acreage Of I'M
sold state land within the school
districts of the several counties.
The amount to be paid to any
school district shall not exceed SC
per acre, or $3.50 in all to any one
district. The $4,000 is, of course,
insufficient to pay the maximum
amount authorized. Payment this
year is on the basis of 2.33c per
acre.
The twenty-three counties receiv-
ing this aid are being paid the fol-
lowing amounts:
Aitkin $318.89, Becker 1871,
Beltrami $404,44, Carlton $76.79,
Cass $1,759.91, Clearwater $67.18,
Cook $2,831.41, Grow Wing $74.3O,
Hubbard $190.63, Itasca $4,751.7O,
Kittson $77.51, Kanabec $3.50,

343.61, Todd $25.49.

WHY DODGE THE ISSUE?

The new income tax figures tell
plain story with a plain lesson.
In one year, the number of Ameri-
cans paying taxes on incomes above
100000 decreased from 5000 to
$500. That is loss of 1900.
The governments of the United
States are practically inviting people
to evade their taxes by seeking re-
lief through investment in tax-free
securities.
The governments, local and ma
tional, lay before the man of large
income a great mass of their secur-
tiles, every few days, and say to
him:
"If you will hand over some of
your money in exchange for these
securities, we will see that you pay
no taxes on the income that you
draw from the loan"
Many taxpayers accept this in
vitation and thus evade, or dodge,
taxes, thereby unloading a fierce
tax burden on the rest of us.
So long as the governments inn
pose enormous taxes, and ct the
same time offer ready way out,
the present abuse will go on.
Politicians who rage against rich
tax dodgers, and then vote fo- tax
free securities, are merely beating
the air, and they know it.

Minnesota Auxiliary Leads.

Minnesota Auxiliary Leads.
There are $4,000 more members
of the American Legion Auxiliary
today than on the same day last
year. On June LIST the Minnesota
Legion Auxiliary equalled its 1922
record of 1880 paid-up members
and is out to double that number
by the end of the year. Very few
Gopher Legion posts are without an
Auxiliary unit. Those which have
failed to organize one thus far are
preparing to do so. The work of
the Minnesota Legion Auxiliary for
disabled comrades is constant, eff
cient and tender; and their work is
aiding their communities and the
American Legion has won for them
an enviable reputation.

actual charge of the work at Roches-

on this welfare work.

Tor, paramount law, interchangeable
by ordinary means, or it is on a
level with ordinary legislative acts,
and, like other acts. is alterable
when the legislature shall please to
alter it. If the former part of the
alternative be true, then legislat-
i've act contrary to the Constitution
is not law; if the latter part be
true, then written constitutions are
absurd attempts, on the part of the
people, to limit power in its own
nature illimitable."
This doubtless will be the Ameri-
can constitutional view, in contrast
with the British supreme parlia nent-
airy idea, so long as the govern
mental system left us by the build
ers of the republic is able to with
stand the attacks of those who
would have the political wisdom and
intelligence of the average man re-
fected in our organic law rather
than to set up a standard of wis
dom and intelligence to operate as
check on popular clamor.

While the Miner has said nothing
for the past two weeks regarding
the new depot for Ely, we have
many facts to present as to why we
should have new station and some
day in the near future will present
them in good understandable Eng
fish. All the citizens of the city are
behind us in this matter and COM
mittee will be named to get 1T the
bottom of it very shortly. In two
weeks the 30-Year men of the COM
pany are having a picnic and cele-
bration of the event at Two Ha-bors
and the first engine of the road, the
80 Spot" will be dedicated as a
monument to the organization. We
would suggest that the Ely depot
might be added to the monument
list as it now is about the same as
it was thirty-four years ago, the only
additions thereto being freight
shed. Let's be fair. We deserve a
new station and one commensurate
with the growth and prosperity of
the city and the business transacted
here by the railroad. The site is
there and should be built on.

COME OUT AND VOTE.

The Miner has always espoused
the principles of the Republican
party in everything that pertains to
National affairs. During our forty
and more years in the printing
game we have never experienced a
Democratic administration which
has been of any particular benefit
to us-nor to the nation insofar as
we could see. When young, we
noted the effects of the 1873
Democratic fiasco, then again IN
1898 the same thing happened only
on a larger scale. In 1913, things
were breaking to worse Dem
ocratic slump than ever when the
war came along and caused an up
heaval from which recovery is slow
and painful to many a family and
business man. Always the blow
fell under the regime of the party
of which we speak.
In Minnesota this month we have
an election to name U. S. Senator
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Nelson and three
candidates are in the field. One OF
these is ]. A. o. Preus. We viii

THE ADVANTAGES OF AMERICA

One OF the greatest industrial
organizations in the world, typify-
ing the achievement of private en-
terprise, initiative and inventive
genius, is the American Telephone
& Telegraph. company. No other
business gives uniform service
over such a large area of land as
the United States. This is one of
the great companies that has be-
ieved in publicity and has used
not only the national magazines and
metropolitan daily newspapers, but
has told its story in the country
ally and weekly newspapers
throughout the land. 1t has placed
before the American people as no
other company has attempted 20 do
through advertising almost every
phase of the operation of it's bust
ness.
While telephone communication
in European countries has been
stagnating under political manage
ment which killed incentive for in
vention and development along this
line, the American telephone system
has progressed to point where
this nation has many times the

The American system is typical
OF real public ownership in that the
money for its development is fur

OF stockholders, including custom
ers and employees, in every state in
the union.
For the convenience of custom

service, the telephone industry is
natural monopoly. The advantage
