MASS MEETING
FAvORs HOSPITAL.
DRS. MEYERS AND TRAVIS
HERE SUNDAY AND MET
WITH ELY PEOPLE.

The K. R. hall was crowded to
the doors Sunday afternoon in
answer to call issued for a mass
meeting to determine whether or
not Drs. Travis and Meyers of
Colby, Kas. were to be asked to
come here and erect and maintain
another hospital in this city. While
the crowd was large and enthusi-
astic, few expressed their opinions
However it is learned that the fol
lowing day a survey was made
among the people and it was the
opinion generally expressed that an
other hospital and more physicians
were a necessity in this growing
city.
Mayor Jenko presided at the
meeting Sunday and introduced DR..
Meyers who briefly told of the will
lingness of DIR Travis and himself
to come to Ely providing the de-
mand warranted. Alderman Cham
pa when called upon stated that he
was of the opinion that more med
ical and surgical facilities were need
ed in this expanding community,
When Mayor Jenko called on the
meeting to show their approval of
the project by rising vote, all
were on their feet
DIR. Meyers in his short talks dur
ing the meeting stated their bust
ness at Colby was growing and that
they had no excuse for leaving
there but that he considered Ely a
growing field furnishing better facil-
tiles for their expansion. He also
stated that unless there was a de-
mand for their services the project
would be dropped. DIR. Travis is a
yearly visitor to this section during
the summer months and saw in Ely
and vicinity a chance for an institu-
tion of this kind. DR.. Travis spe-
cializes in surgery while DIR. Mey.
ers pays more attention to medicine
The Drs. remained in Ely over
Monday and called on many people
for their personal views. They
will announce their decision later

is the announcement of the date of

given by the Orchestra. This year
the concert will be held on the 9th
of February. The first concert last
year met with instant success and
the parish and city will look for
ward to this next one with interest
ed anticipation. The purpose in
making the announcement at this
early date is to bring it before the
people in time to give February
9th, 8:15 P. M. first place in the
social calender. Arrangements will
be made to have the tickets in the
hands of all in very short time.

MORE REGULATION"

The enormous death toll, and the
greater accident list which mars the
path of the progress of the auto
mobile is giving city fathers and
county police authorities great
deal of concern. To meet the sltua-
ton all sorts of remedies are being
tried, the commonest of which is
more drastic speed regulations, more
police, and a more strict enforce
ment of the speed limit.
But in many cases it is found
that all such additional safeguards
do not accomplish the result; care
lessness wrecks car just as much
when regulated by the police as
when no police are about, and lack
of skill causes as many accidents
when licensed as when outlawed.
Authorizes are beginning to be-
heve that as far as the crowded
streets of the cities are concerned,
two drastic steps must be taken; the
flow of traffic must be controlled
either by very elaborate system of
one-way streets, distance control
(as on Fifth Avenue, New York;
or a boulevard system which elm
mates the deadly crossing; the other
step, a real examination and real
standard of proficiency to which a
driver must attain before being per-
mitted to drive.
The drivers examination, in the
few places where it exists, is well
known to be more or less of joke.
A mere ability to get through a
half mile of city traffic without a
crash will give, in many cases, any
child of sixteen a motor drivers
license. 1t is contended that until
authorities are willing to make it a
sine qua non to a driv S license
that the applicant demonstrate, not
luck in getting through, but genuine
and competent skill in going through
traffic easily and sanely, the death
toll is likely to continue.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

The justice of penalizing in
dividual carelessness when it results
in fire damage to the property of
others, is effectively argued in the
following brief bulletin, issued by
the Industrial Commission of Wis
cousin:
"A crook robs a national bank OF
one million dollars. The entire
police power of the state and ma
ton are put to work to apprehend
him.
"A man deliberately sets fire to 9
grain elevator in which one million
dollars worth of grain is stored
Some fire marshal, alone and un
aided, investigates this fire in the
nope of discovering sufficient evi
dence to bring the guilty man te
trial before a jury strongly pre-
JUDGED against circumstantial evi
dence."

ROARING STONEY'
CARNIVAL COMING.
LEGION ARRANGING FOR THE
ANNUAL EVENT TO TAKE
PLACE IN APRIL.

At the meeting of the American
Legion held Wednesday evening, a
committee was named to begin act
ivities towards the production of
the "Roarng Stoney" carnival to be
given in April. At the time the
carnival was produced last year it
was the opinion of all that this
should become an annual event and
the action Wednesday is in con-
formity with the general opinion
expressed at that time.
A committee was also named for
the dedication ceremonies of the
new Memorial School building and
another committee to decide on a
suitable memorial for the IL Ely
boys who made the supreme sacri-
flee in the late war. The Memorial
School will be dedicated to the
heroes and in addition it is the in
tention to erect a memorial more
personal in character for the fallen.

TAX EXEMPTION FARCE MUST
END.

The President and the people are
in favor of tax reduction. The
politicians, through their blocs and
parties in Congress, are pulling and
hauling to try to gain personal pres
tige through delays and log rolling
in the tax reduction program.
AT the present time it is estimat-
ed that the income from approx
mately $3O,OOO,OOO, 900 in capital
invested in government tax-exempt
securities, escapes all forms of tax
alton. The fact that cities, counties,
states and nation can issue tax-ex-
empt bonds drawing low rate of
interest has caused a reckless in
crease in public debt and has fur
nished the loop-hole for billions of
dollars to escape taxation.
After an amendment to the
United States constitution is passed
permitting the taxation of income
from future issues of public bonds,
it will be necessary for legislatures
of the various states to ratify the
measure. For this reason, quick
action in Congress is essential in
order that state legislatures which
are in session or which will be in
session in the near future may be
able to act on the measure and put
an end to the present obsolete sys-
TEN which is an invitation for the
reckless piling of debt on one hand
and lawful tax lodging on the other
