needs is further development OF
more summer resorts. We have
the climate, we have the lakes, fish

Since driving over the new wide
roads, the Miner has been persist
emily advocating the two-track drive
on all roads wide enough for this
purpose. 1t was always ou- conten-
ton that it was a waste of road
funds build highways with twenty
or twenty-four feet of surface and
maintain this width when drivers
persisted in driving in a single
track and six or seven feet was suff-
cient. S ne attention was paid to
this suggestion at odd times and it
was talked over and discussed. A
week ago the road between Tower
and Virginia blossomed out with
signs requesting motorists to drive
on the right side of the road. This
is a step in the right direction and
besides minimizing the chances for
collisions it will save the road sur
face and make maintenance less ex-
pensive. The paved roads have a
line drawn down the center and this
has diminished accidents to a mini
mum. The only thing lacking is a
rule enforcing the ''keep to the
right" driving. The maintenance
crews could be of valuable assist
ance in calling attention to this
especially if they set the example
by breaking the trail over newly
laid gravel.

ed many great private fortunes and
is now turned to public benefit.
The principle is to take little
money at a time from a lot of
people and with the big sum thus
accommodating to build many inn
portant and needed highway better
ments, not to be as easily financed
by any other method. It favors
people within the state over those
from the outside, yet the latter do
not object to it.
From states now using the plan
come reports that it is highly popu-
lar with all classes and especially
road users-automobile owners,
farmers and others. Every Mime
sofa car and truck owner backing
the Nickles N. Dimes plan at an
average of SO a year is promised
the use of extra highway improve
ments representing an outlay of
100000 times that amount and
assured direct cash-in-pocket re-
turn of So for every 81 put in.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, and every road
user well informed on highway
facts, it is predicted, will welcome
the celebrated Nickles N. Dimes
plan. 1t is popular wherever in
effect and many states have doubled
compensation for a corresponding
increase in operations.
Nickles N. Dimes is the '.gas tax
person., pal at filling stations and
enjoying great popularity in SO
states, as may have been surmised,
and may have more to say next
week about gas taxes and things.

Why will some motorists persist
In trying to beat a railroad train
to crossing?
Why will others turn out and pass
another car, when they intend to
turn out at the next street intersec-
ton or park in the next block?
Why do they turn out and pass
you on country road, at forty
miles an hour, and then settle down
and drive comfortable and safe
twenty-five miles an hour immedi-
ately after they have passed you?
Why do some men (and women)
drive. from one town to another at
a furious pace, and then sit in their
car fifteen or twenty minutes after
they arrive?
Why do some drivers blow their
horn at pedestrians who are cross
ing the street at the proper place,
at the proper pace and who are well
within their rights in using the
crossing at the ordinary speed of
three to four miles an hour?
Search us. We haven't the
answer.
But sometimes we are tempted TO
believe that while all motorists arc
not id fools yet every Id
fool is driving motor car.-Breck-

tanners. If tin cans, both ends
should be fiat or curved slightly in
ward. Neither end should bulge or
snap back when pressed. All seams
should be tight and clean, with no
trace of leaks. If glass jars, there
should be no sign of leakage around
the rubber ring or elsewhere. The
contents should appear sound, nor
NAL in color and the liquid free
from unusual cloudiness.
AS the can is being opened, notice
whether there is an outrush of air
or spouting of the liquid. These in
dictate spoilage. If the air sucks in
ward it is a good sign for it shows
that the vacuum seal has not been
broken. Smell the contents at once.
The odor should be characteristic of
the production. Any "off" odor
probably indicates spoilage.

may represent many good round,

complaining about taxation, too
much legislation, useless regulation
of industry, ETC., etc. You may send
your boy to college and your daugh-

be a successful American business

But do you take an interest in
the government which protects your
property? Or are you merely one
of the kickers who complain about
the radicals" Do you go to the
polls and vote for men and measures
you believe sound or do you in
stead, go fishing on election days
and let the fellow about whom you
complain do all the voting.
Don't kick unless you are willing
to do your duty as citizen at the
polls
No matter how "big" you are,
your vote is worth no more than
the poorest bum in town.
The bigger you are, the more
necessary it is for you to vote,
teach your children to vote and
your wife to vote.
Don't leave somebody else to do
your voting for you and then kick
at results.

"What / want to refer to is the
development of the summer tourist
business in the neighborhood of
Tower and Ely and adjacent to the
Superior National forest reserve,
which is now fast becoming nation

'There was a time, not so very
long ago, when this neck of the
woods was not even on the map,
and just how it got on the map is
a story of pioneering. There hap

sight and broad vision, who inaug-
urated the advertising campaign
and invented the slogan, "The Play

since been claimed by several other
communities. This man, although
ridiculed, spent his time and money
to put Ely on the map, and by put

this club, for it appeared to me that
it was organized only for high brows
and did not include the laboring
man, but subsequent functioning of
the club proved that it was just
what we needed in the community.
Through this club, which, by the
way, is probably the only club in

general taxation, thanks to this

gins the thirtieth year of its ex-
istence. This indicates that for

our individual interests and those of
our family. We begin another year
with the most sanguine expecta-
tons. Ely is the best city from a
stability standpoint on the ranges.
Our people are residents in every
sense of the word. There are more
individual home owners in Ely than
in any town or city on the ranges
and our floating population is very
light Our mines are all year pro-
positions and the winter slumps in
the labor market are unknown.
When we first began work in Ely
our mining industry was divided
among several companies, some
good, some bad and some worse.
Time checks from various concerns
fioated about and if we are not mis-
taken there are some still floating.
With the advent of the Steel Cor
poration, things became stabilized.
Pay days became regular institu-
tions. While some throughout the
country rail at corporations, it is
our opinion that the concentration
of business is good thing, at least
affairs in this city have proven
them as such. During the years we
have published the Miner the pres
ent editor has been in sole charge
as owner and publisher. In that
time we have made friends with a
large number and also have several
enemies. We thank the former for
their confidence and the latter for
their enmity. Their opinions in
either case indicates that we have
done something. Dead ones neither
make friends or enemies. We have
tried to be fair and for what we
did not publish should receive the
thanks of many of our citizens. The
Miner will continue this course.
Mistakes are made by the citizens
and the mere fact that these mis-
takes are made should be punish
ment enough to the individual max.
ing them. Publicity will not help
matters and to make public the mis-,
deeds of certain ones only hurts
innocent members of family o,

good things to print and those whe
revel in slush and filth in a news
paper should only read the kind OF

A gasoline tax is intended to
compel the man who uses the roads
to pay for them. A certain travel
ing man who calls on this office
representing a paper house drives
an average of 100 miles day
through the driving season and only
pays the same tax on his car that
farmers living around here pay who
drive probably not to exceed an
average of 10 miles day through
the driving season. This tax will
also compel the trucks, buses, the
big rich mans car, all to pay their
share of the road upkeep. 1t is
well-known fact that big car does
a great deal more road damage than
does tht light car and that they do
not pay taxes in proportion to the
damage they do. The legislature
will no doubt make some arrange
ments if the gas tax bill is made a
law so the farmers gas for power
purposes will be exempt, but if
they do not, the difference will be
so small for each individual farmer
as compared to what he will save
on auto gasoline.-Staples World.

Speed is the cause of almost all

speeding, and to others. The de-

seizes upon many motorists when
they get out upon the road, and
they dash ahead regardless of
others and without reference even
to their own security. These are
the chief contributors TO the casual

who are directly responsible for
high speeds are not the only victims.
