This second week four girls pas
sed first class signalling, six second
class nature, eleven proved they
could swim fifty yards or more,
twelve passed the first class com
pass test and eleven completed THEN
maps. They We're as jolly a bunch
as one could find anywhere, living
in the spirit of the Girl Guide Song
Up girls, awake girls,
There is no time for sleeping,
Out in the open where he air il
fresh and free,
Work well, play well,
Comradeship still keeping,
Set the windows of your soul a.
they can be.
Next year we hope to have ;
longer camping season, and give
more girls an opportunity to spenC
at least one week at camp, living
with other girls and thus learning {
valuable lesson in cooperation.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-08-08

The Federal Trade Commission
recently submitted to the Senate a
report of taxation and tax-exempt
income.
The report shows the amount of
tax-exempt securities now outstand-
ing: estimates the amount held by
corporations and individuals and The
taxes which might be collect I'd from
them, if they were taxable; shows
the increases of indebtedness, ma
tional, state and local, and the pur-
poses for which incurred; gives the
aggregate tax burdens, national,
state and local; and considers where
the heaviest burdens lie.
The total amount of tax-exempt
securities outstanding on December
81, 1922, was about $32,000,0 00,-
900 and consisted of nearly $12,-
000,000,000 of wholly tax-free and
over $2O,O0O,00O,O0O of surtaxable
securities. Of the wholly tax-free
Obligations, 1924 100000 were
federal and $8,797, 100000 were
state and local.
The general taxpayer must make
up to the government the amounts
which it loses through inability to
tax the income from these billions
and future issues of tax-exempt
bonds.

There Is best way OF doing every
thing-even Of putting sugar and
cream in your coffee. In fact. to put
sugar and cream In your coffee is
quite wrong, according to Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The really
correct procedure Is to put cream In
the cup. then the coffee and add the
sugar last of all. This win prevent
the cream from "feathering" should 1t
be slightly sour. Coffee poured on
cream and sugar In cup Is almost
certain to result in the creams cur
ding.

GIRL SCOUTS CAMP
Communicated by the
Camp Historian.)

"Campward Ho" was the cry of
twenty-one Ely Girl Scouts on the
morning of July Is, the day on which
the camp opened. 1t was easy 20
sing, "Girl Scouts are Always Happy,
Girl Scouts are Always True" when
one had a week at camp to look. for
ward to, and what did a week at camp
mean? Well how is this for a pro-
gram?

The camp was in charge of Miss
Helen Lusby from Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Miss Florence Johnston. Miss
Johnston has just. completed a course
in physical training at Chicago. She
is member of the Red Cross Life
Saving Corps The swimming in
struction was in her care. Next
year she is to have charge of the
athletics for girls in Ely. Mrs. A.
Coombes was camp cook. It was no
small task to feed so many hungry
girls.
The first thing to be done on
n TEACHING camp was to form into
patrols, then get the tents ready for
inspection. The camp was organized
on the patrol system. Eight girls
forms a c nplete patrol. Each patrol
elects its own leader. The members

Undoubtedly the majority of
thinking, conservative residents of
this state who are familiar with the
condition of our trunk highway
system and the amount of motor
traffic are thoroughly convinced
that more hard surfacing is needed.
1t is extravagant policy to attempt
to keep in good condition gravel
surfaced roads that are subject to as
much wear and tear "a are many of
the trunk highways.
A few weeks. ago the portion of
the scenic highway between Elk
River and Princeton was in excel
lent condition. 1t was smooth, we'll
graded, gravel-surfaced road on
which it was a pleasure to drive.
Two days of rain and the usual
weekend motor traffic put it in mis-
cradle condition. The following
week the maintenance men We're
busy with graders, and the condition
of the road was greatly improved
thereby, but it still has the wash
board effect.
That gravel-surfaced road on
sand foundation will not stand up
under heavy traffic during wet
weather. There is no question but
what the only practical and econ
omical policy to follow is to hard
surface it. The majority of motor
lists who drive that road frequent
ly would be willing to pay a special
tax levy to cover the cost of the
hard surfacing; at the end of the
season it would mean a saving for
them.
A gasoline tax will help the sit
ustion somewhat and will spread
the cost of maintenance to all those
using the highways, but why not go
step farther in adjustments and
make the bus and truck transpor-
tation companies pay their fair share
of the cost of maintenance? Under
the present system, for a nominal
sum they have given to them by the
taxpayers of this state in the free
use of our excellent system of trunk
highways, a large portion of their
operating equipment. This equip
ment, like that in any other business
depreciates with wear; constant re-
pairs are necessary. Those COM
panies should be made to contribute
substantial percentage of the re-
turns from their business for the
maintenance of the highways which
they use to such good financial pro-
fit for Observation-Disclosures
Union.

A red rag is used to excite bull.
The tariff is used to infiame the
public mind. There is no more rea-
son for the public to get excited
than there is for the bull, as neither
the red rag nor the tariff are dan
gerous.
Igorance is the cause of most
hardship and suffering.
A tariff to give reasonable pro-
lection to home industries from un.
reasonable competition is in the in,
terest of the workman, good wages
and steady payrolls.
Then why use it as the politica
red rag to infiame the pubic mind
instead of considering the matter as
business proposition?
