Strong Demand for Railroad
and Industrial Shares Fol- !
lowing Election
BY w. s. COUSINS.
International NNWA Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.--The return
of investment and speculative inter.
lest to the railroad stocks, as q direct
result Of the reelection Of President
Coolidge and the elimination of the
so-called radical forces favoring
drastic railroad legislation, was the
most important feature bf the week
In the stock market.
Strong Tone Shown.
The strong market for industrial
Stocks, which prevailed in the last
few sessions prior to the election,
showed conclusively that powerful
market operators were discounting
the election result. A large part OF
Wall Street consequently looked for
q sharp reaction on the day after
election. They had not counted on
the decisiveness of the peoples
mandate nor on the defeat of a
number of Congressman who are
the strongest advocates Of radical
changes in transportation and busl.
ness legislation. Consequently,
when the market opened on Wednes.
day the enormous buying demand
for industrial and railroad stocks
from all over the country swept
away profit taking and prices
surged forward to higher levels.
Rails Lead.
When the market showed signs
Of wavering on Thursday, It was
the railroad shares which again
took the leadership in a strong
rally, under cover Of which heavy
profit taking took place in the
active Industrial stocks. Not in q
decade and for some Of the low
priced railroad stocks never before
in their history have prices beer
recorded equal to that at which
thousands OF shares changed hands
this week. On the prospect OF q
quick return to the dividend col
umn, now that the Legislation
skies have been cleared and earn
ings the most favorable in years
heavy public buying of the common
and preferred stocks of Missouri
Pacific, Missouri, Kansas anC
Texas, Wabash, Seaboard Air Line
and similar stocks, sent prices Il
the highest levels in years, in some
cases representing gains of 100 pei
cent from the low Of this year

stocks neglected. Attractive specu
lative possibilities in New York
Central, Atchison, Lehigh Valley
and other stocks which at present
return satisfactory income return
on the investment, were in good de
mand at the best prices OF the year
Prices Rise.
Rising prices for pig iron, cop
per, crude oil and other important
commodities, with occasional spurts
in the principal grain markets, were
regarded as important straws show
ing which way the economic winds
are blowing. Since stock prices In
the immediate future win depend
more on the business outlook than
on political developments, market
prognosticators are again training
their keenest observation on In.
dustry and business.
That the present level of stock
prices is high, comparatively, IL
conceded. Whether or not 1t is
high enough to discount all of the
alluring prospects of worldwide
progress and prosperity is the ques
ton about which there is a wide
divergence of opinion in Wall Street

VOTE FOR
GEO. H. LOMMEN
FOR
REPRESENTATIVE

To the voters of the 61st District:
The other candidate residing in
Biwabik has been constantly at
work in this. campaign instigating
issues and prejudices that do not
properly belong in a political con-
troversy of this nature. He has
had motive for so doing. He was
placed as candidate for this Office
by the mining companies who con-
template legislation aimed directly
at the welfare and prosperity of the
iron country. He is getting their
active support and financial backing.
He is likewise using other issues as
a cloak behind which he can hide his
true mission. His interest in legis-
lative matters that will be presented
to the coming legislature can best
be determined by the sacrifices he
is making Tor will be forced to
make). Mr.. Schuster is the Post
master at Biwabik and has nearly
four more years to serve, at sal
airy of approximately 100000 per
year. The law, of which he
claims to be such a fit proponent
and defender, requires that he shall
not become a candidate for any
office while serving as postmaster.
Nor shall he take any active part in
any political campaign. To-date,
Mr.. Schuster has not resigned from
the post office department. His
salary, if elected to the Legislature
will be $500. per year and only for
a two year term. The question
that every honest, clear thinking
voter is asking is: WHO, IF
ANYBODY, WILL MAKE UP FOR
THIS SURPRISING DIFFERENCE
IN SALARY IF SCHUSTER IS
ELECTED BY THE VOTERS OF
THIS DISTRICT?"
/ have been bitterly attacked by
Mr.. Schuster in a personal way
through his publications that che
suffers to be imposed upon you.
He paints me, by print and other
wise, as a person unworthy of the
confidence of the people. His viz
tues have many defenders. My
mouth has been sealed in respect to
nobler respect for the sanctity Of
society. l have been twice elected
Mayor of the home town of both
Schuster and myself, and this in
spite of the opposition of the first
named man. Withou t clique or
faction behind me, and with firm
conviction to serve the interests of
others, not myself, / obtained from
the good people of Biwabik, in the
primary election for this office, a
twC-to-one majority over the man
who now seeks to g&in your votes
on personal issues. / submit this
impressive vote of our closest
friends and neighbors, in the home
town where we are best known, as
my only answer to the suspicious of
the people of other towns. l could
not, and would not, undertake to
shake your confidence in mans
personality. He is too firmly i'm
bedded by now. / would rather lose
the election by remaining silent,
knowing. in the after hours of re-
trospection that had not destroyed
the confidence and respect of the
people who know us best-our home
town folks.

THE MAIN ISSUE
FOR GAS TAX VOTE.
PEOPLE TO DECIDE ONLY
WHETHER ANY LEVY ON
GASOLINE SHALL BE
PUT ON ROADS.

eff the Minnesota Legislators
puts a tax on gasoline, shall the
money be used for good roads?"
Answer the question, Yes Or No
as you think right, and vote that
way on Gas Tax Amendment No.
! on the pink ballot at the COM
ing state election.
THAT'S all there is to make up
your mind about on Amendment No.
l." continued Nickles N. Dimes, gas
tax man. whether Minnesota will
have gas tax, the rate, the reduc-
ton, if any, it should bring in the
present auto tax and all like ques-
tions are for the Legislature. The
only question for the voters is
shall all auto taxes be used for
needed road work, or shall any re-
ceipts from gasoline tax be used
instead for the general expenses of
the state government"
Outlines the Details.
Important things to be kept in
mind by gas tax amendment voters
were summed up by the gas tax
man as follows:
The Minnesota Legislature already
has power to tax gasoline and may
do so regardless of the, vote on
Amendment No. L.
The amendment will authorize
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-10-24

the Legislature to put into the high
way fund the gas tax receipts which
otherwise must go for general ex-
penses.
Gas taxes are paid on the amount
of gasoline put into the auto tank
at each stop at filling station-110
cents on gallons and so forth, at
a 2-cent rate.
Gas taxes are collected by states
from wholesalers and jobbers, who
pass them on through retailers to
consumers, and the expense is small,
more than 80 cents of eacl dollar
going on roads if so elected.
United States government figures
show that the average gas tax of
21a cents now costs the average
auto owner less han a tenth of a
cent for each mile. travelled.
A Minnesota gas tax at 2 cents a
gallon will yield about $4,000,000 a
year, including some 100000 or
more from tourists for road rent.
Gasoline used for farm tractor
and like purposes, in dry cleaning
establishments, and so forth, is
ldACu Uut IuS ulOIlcy ID pdlu UdCh
directly by most states.
Gas taxes are reported successful,
just and fair, painless and popular,
in SO states now collecting them
they are not an experiment and
Minnesota profting by other states
experience can pass model law.
But the important consideration
now is to open the way to put gas
tax money into needed road work
by voting yes on Amendment No.
/.
"The automobile and truck own
ers will also want to remember
that they are bound now to pay all
taxes for main highway improve
ments and maintenance, and if
Amendment No. 1 should fail. they
may be forced to pay in addition
toward the general expense of the
state" said Nickles N. Dimes.
