CONTINUITY IN ADVERTISING.

Some eastern railway executives
are publishing financial statistics
over their names as railroad presi-
dents.
Public utilities advertise more in
diligently and more continuously
and as result people buy their
securities and the values of gas,
electric light, power and traction
properties are becoming prosperous.
There must be continuity in pub
licity. Keeping the public informed
is a continuous job, as many move
away or die and new ones take
their places. In dealing with the
public, use language the public can
understand.
Railroads and public utilities can
not expect to advertise in flush
times and live on the memory of it
when they are hard up. They can't
expect to advertise when they are
in trouble, or about to kick the
bucket and expect to get anything
in that direction.

to follow recommendation of the
association and in order to proceed
with these roads, was obliged to
forego 100000 of state and county
funds, pledged for auto highways.
There can be no question of the
lasting gratitude of our friends, the
people of the United States and the
| association towards this action of
the United States Forest Service.
1t definitely Identifies them as deeply
sympathetic with human contact with
woodland places which has made of
us the foremost nation that has gath
cred its strength of body and high
ideals in the wholesome surround
ings of God-made forms. 1t has de-
finitely demonstrated that officials
of this governmental bureau recog-
nize forest value not measured in
board feet, pounds of beef or units
of horsepower. They have taken a
great progressive step in protecting
the essential recreation values of
the Superior Forest At present it
appears nothing short of the heroic
to burn behind them the bridges of
financial aid. AS time goes on the
wisdom of this action will become ap-
parent. But it behooves us and our
friends to show our gratitude in con-
crete form by supporting the Forest
Service in every forward move in
conserving the priceless recreational
values in the National Forests where

ever they may be located.

ever they may be located.
There are still other questions
deeply affecting the future of the
Superior National Forest that have
come to the attention of the associa-
ton. These as well as the road
problems are intimately linked with
the ultimate public ownership of the
entire area. The purchase of private
lands within the Forest and the ex-
tension of it's present range are of
paramount Importance. To accom-
plish this our friends must again
stand by us when the appeal is made
that every member of Congress may
be reached in support of it.
Waltonians have reasons to con-
graduate themselves on the results
of their efforts and those of cooper
ating conservation organizations in
protecting Americas greatest canoe
country in the Superior National.
We must all stand ready to help in
maintaining the present ground won
in getting proper recognition of the
inestimable scenic values in this
lakeland wilderness and help, too, in
pushing farther ahead in this i'm
portant undertaking. The next issue
of the League Monthly will give a
detailed account of how the meagre
portion of the Superior Country can
be preserved for all time to come for
the lovers of Outdoor America. We
need your assistance, we are count
ing on it.

added to the list and two public
buildings, at cost of nearly a
million dollars, are in the course of
construction. Jacobson Bros. are
rushing work on their contract for
the new high school building and
with another month of fair weather
expect to show wonders. They ex-
pect to have the roof on the build
ing before actual winter weather
puts in an appearance after which
the crews will be transferred to the
interior for all winters work. This
structure is to be completed before
the beginning of school next fall.
Contractor Pearson is making fine
Roadway with the Savoy school
building and will begin the plaster
ing of the interior next week. Con-
tractor Farnham has the Zenith
residences we'll under way. All over
the city carpenters and builders are
improving and building new struc-
lures and painters are rushed with
both inside and outside work. In
another column will be found the
figures of the tax levy made by the
city council at the last meeting
and these figures indicate program
of improvement on the part of the
city. 1t is the intention of the
council to inaugurate a paving pro-
gram the coming year and make
fair start with a follow-up program
for the following years. Another
matter that is agitating the minds OF
the Ely citizens is municipal heat.
At present several committees are
looking up the matter and investi-
eating other heating plants in other
cities. While central heating
plant would run into money, it is
the opinion of those who have paid
some attention to the matter that
plant of this nature would pay for
itself within a very short time. The
location of the city is ideally adapt
ed for such a plant and the matter
will be thoroughly gone into.

Charles L. Gilman, veteran Twin
City newspaper man, had "a full page
article, illustrated with pictures and
a map, in a recent issue of the. Min
neapolis Sunday Journal. 1t was a
wildly written story whose purpose
was to show that traversing the
wilds of Northern Minnesota via
canoes and portages is, after all, a
pleasant and not too difficult task
for even women and children if the
traveller will first rid himself of the
hardship ghost he has conjured up
in his imagination before stepping
out of his luxurious motor car. The
story is instructive, informative, and
reads like a romance.

HALF TAXED-HALF UNTAxED.

Advocates of public ownership
schemes use as one of their strong
est arguments, the statement that
states, counties or cities can borrow
money cheaper than private COM
panies because their bonds are "tax-
exempt. In addition public prop
erty pays no taxes.
The income from some $30,OOO,-
100000 of such tax-exempt bonds
now goes tax-free and the rest of US
pay additional taxes to make up this
loss to the government.
If public ownership was extende
to various lines of industry as ad-
vocated by two constitutional
amendments proposed in Georgia,
the assessment roll would shrink and
the burden of taxation on remaining
taxable property would grow heavier
and heavier as city, county and
state functions were enlarged.
Advocates of public ownership
will find that it will be impossible
in this country to maintain the
right of private property for half
the people while taking over under
public ownership the property of
the other half.
Ultimately we would face a situa-
ton where the principal business of
those holding Office would be how to
collect tax revenue from those not
holding Office in order to meet the
public payroll.

at is the advertiser who keeps
continuously at it who gets the bust
ness" Some of these fellows who
spasmodically present their names
to the public profess to believe that
when times are good they do not
need to advertise and when times
are bad it does not pay. The mer-
chants of New York had taste of
what it means to advertise during
the strike of the pressmen two
weeks ago when no papers were
issued and consequently no advertis-
ing was done. Their sales dropped
off a mere matter of 65 per cent
because people did not have daily
access to the advertising columns
for information as to their buying
needs. The mere fact that you sell
-four, sugar or shoes heralded to the
world will not increase the consump-
ton of these articles but if you can
sell them just a little more reason
ably advertising will do it.

TAXES AND PUBLIC OWNERSHIP,

Property owned by the federal
government is not subject to taxa.
ton. If public ownership were
adopted in this country and the tax.
free exemption continued, there
would be enormous losses to public
treasures, quite enough to force a
radical revision of public expendit-
ure or a hunt for new sources of in
come.
During 1921 railways paid taxes
amounting to 275,128,134. Of that
sum $37,176,773 went to the United
States government and the remain
der, 1927, 951 1851, went to the state
and local governments. Publ: own
ership would mean the loss OF all
that sum to the public treasures.
There is an increase in taxation
paid by railways. Statistics indicate
the total for 1922 will be about
1904, 100000. On these properties
in 1916 the taxes amounted to
$162,474,733. In that year the
railways paid taxes of 1851 per
mile of track, while in 1921 the
taxes per mile had been increased
to 1929.
These are some of the practical
questions involved in any campaign
for public ownership of utilities and
transportation. They are of inter
est to the public because the in
formation has large value to the
taxpayers, who will be affected by
heavier taxes falling on all property
that remains in private ownership.
