STRAW VOTE INDICATES
LEGION PREFERENCE,

The Legion always has argued
that little cash would be needed to
pay adjusted compensation to SER
vice men under the terms of the
principal bill now before Congress.
II was pointed out that only service
people whose compensation would
amount to $50 or less. would be en-
titled to cash payments. 1t was
further argued that the choice of
the farm and home aid, vocational
training or insurance provisions
would involve payments over long
term of years and would not mean
a great cash outlay for the bene-
ficiaries.
To clinch the argument Legion
National Headquarters has polled a
vote throughout all the departments
to ascertain which of the options
will prove he most popular in the
event the compensation measure is
passed.
Twelve members of each of 10
posts in Minnesota were asked to
state their preferences. The result
was that there were 62 votes for the
20-year endowment insurance plan
az votes for farm or home aid, six
votes for vocational training, and
seven votes for insurance with pos
sible view to obtaining a loan. The
result proves once and for all, De-
partment Adjutant King of the Min
| nesota organization declares, that
claims that payment of compensa,
tion would bankrupt the country are
not well founded.

USE MORE THAN HALF
MILLION FREIGHT CARS

More than half million freight
cars, one-fifth the freight car own
ership in the country, are used an
nually by the Ford Motor Company's
main plants and various branches,
according to figures just given out
here.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit offices direct to
railroads, that paid by branches on
minor shipments, and freight charges
on direct shipments made from manu-
featuring institutions to branches
approximates 78,200,000 annually.
Adding to this about $75,000,000
paid by dealers on shipments of
autos received by them, brings a
conservative figure of $150,000,0 900
paid every year in freight charges
through the fundamentally of the
Ford Motor Company.
An average of $50 car loads of
freight are handled every day in
and out of the Highland Park and
River Rouge plants alone, and it is
estimated that on the Ford Motor
Company's account 100000 pounds
of freight in car load lots are hand
led every day in the Detroit district.
Shipping space economies, effect
ed through the. company's unique
methods, are seen in the fact that
while part shipments to the assembly
branch plants are figured at 10
units per freight car, in rail ship
ments of completed cars from the
branches to the dealers, only six
assembled Ford cars and trucks can
be loaded into standard 36-foot
box car.
The larger part of the Ford
freight is shipped with the Detroit.
Toledo and Ironton, the Ford rail
road, as either the initial or partici-
pating carrier and especial attenti IN
is paid to the classifying of all
freight, so that not only the COM
pany but the dealer as well receives
the benefit of expert services in
freight classification and rate adj
justments.

WHAT WE OWE AND
WHAT WE HAVE

Just how much equity has the
average American citizen in his
country?
In other words, what is the aver
age citizens share in his country
worth, purel::- from financial stand
point?
If the country were a joint stock
company and each citizen owned one
share of stock, what would be the
book. value of it?
There are no accurate figures
available, of course, but some re-
cent census figures on ihe pubic
debt might be alarming if we didn't
consider at the same time what we
have to show for it.
The per capita debt of the aver
age Minnesota citizen is 1922 il it
is figured that the foreign debt ow-
ing this country is worth nothing.
If the foreign debt is worth face
value then the average per capita
debt of Minnesotans is approximate
ly 1912. \
These figures are reached in the
following way. The total national
debt is $22,155, $4,000 and foreign
countries owe America $11 100000
gas. Estimating the population of
the country at 105,710,620 the per
capita public national debt is either
5000 or about 500 depending on the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-03-14

value of Europe's Indebtedness to US.
II that account is worth SO cents on
the dollar, which might be a fairly
good guess inasmuch as Great
Britain, the largest debtor, is paying
interest and reducing the principal,
then the actual per capita national
debt would be some place between
$3.50 and $3.50.
The total public debt of Mime
sofa, including state, city and county
Indebtedness, is $269, 608,OOO. With
population of 2,387,125 the per
capita debt of Minnesotans for local
purposes would be $113. This would
bring the total per capita debt of
Minnesotans to some place between
1912 and 1922 depending on the
value of Europe's account with US.
1t is rather startling figure
when it is realized that the debt of
the avearge family of five would be
lust five times that figure.
But what have we to show for it?
The average Duluth citizen has a
sewer system, water system, gas
| system, pavements, roads, schools
public buildings, jails, hospitals, city
parks, state parks, bridges, post
office, and a share in all such gov
eminent property as the ePanams
canal, harbors, channels, the navy
| the merchant marine and a Thousand
other items that could be listed.
/ The per capita debt looms large
until we begin to list what we have
to show for it. The school system
alone or water and sewer system
alone would be worth all of it if il
were necessary to pay that much t.
get them.
Public debt is nothing to feal
when there is something of perman
ent value to show for it. An add
ton of ST. or SO to the per capt.;
debt to construct the St. Lawrence
waterway, for example, would b.
offset by benefits worth many times
that amount each year.
The kind of debt that hurts is
debt for property that has beer
wasted or destroyed. More thar
half fof our per capita debt repre-
sents the cost of the World war
That created more public debt thar
all the public improvements tina
have been made in the $50 years

Ely Lose. to Hibbing 2i-2.
(By Sulo Roterus).

Ely Loses TO f1iDblng Zi-Z.
With Dame Fortune scorning them,
the Ely high school basketball team
lost to Hibbing 21-2 at the tourna-
ment semi-inais Friday. Shooting as
MANY times as Hibbing but with
1000 less luck, Ely was unable to
connect for field goal. Time after
time Ely worked the ball in position
for a pot shot but the sphere refused
to go through the hoop. 'Hibbing, on
the other hand, made good on large
percentage of the shots afforded
them.
Usually the score tells the story.
This is one instance which IS an ex-
cept;on. Ely should have made at
least Is points and Hibbing beng
closer pressed would probably have
missed some of their shots, thus CIV
ing the fans merry battle to look at.
It was disappointment TO Eiys
brilliant seasons record. Although
doped to lose they were expected TO
give Hibbing closer run In scoring
than they did.
Hibbing did not excel to any great
degree in foorwork. Both teams
were strong on defense and brought
the ball down the floor with snappy
passing but Ely's luck in shooting
| was the deciding factor of the game
The ball hit the rim of the basket
the bankboard, rolled around the
hoop but never sank in through the
netting except for two free throws.
Ely fought furiously throughout
but to miss every shot would dls
hearten any team. The score at tne
end of the first half stood lo-l
| Pogorelc getting Ely's lone point
| Grahek made Ely's lone point in ths
second half. During the last quar-
ter Ely tried hard to make fleie
| goal by shooting long and short ones
but all their attempts were IN VAN
and the gun put an end to Elys un
luckiest game of the season.

Inter-ela.. serie. Wednesday.


In what will probably be Ely's
last chance to witness basketball and
wrestling this season, the inter-class
basketball and wrestling teams will
meet in the auditorium Wednesday
evening, March 10.
The basketball teams will be COM
posed of first and second squad play
ers who have been practicing daily
the whole year so the fans may rest
assured of seeing good brand of
basketball being played. Since the
close of the football season the squad
has been given wrestling instructions
by Mr.. Santos who is in on the fine
points of the mat game. Interest
has been manifested in the bouts
held during the basketball games and
these matches promise to be even
better as the wrestlers are in the
pink of condition and are more ex-
perienced.
The first squad men who will play
are Grahek, Pluth, Roterus for the
Juniors; Maxi and Colombo for the
Sophomores and Pogorelc and Helix
kala for the Freshmen.
The class team which wins the
series two years in succession will
have their names engraved on a cup
which is now in the trophy case IN the
high school. Last year the gradual
ing class won the series.
A great deal of pep and spirit are
being shown at games. Each class
will be divided into a roofing section
so there will be plenty of rivalry.
