ROTARY CLUB HAS FINE
PROGRAM WEDNESDAY.

Wednesday evenings meeting of
the Rotary Club was filed from the
beginning with interesting events.
An elegant dinner served by the
Presbyterian ladies opened the even
ing. Judges Hughes and Freeman
were visiting members from the Hib-
bling and Virginia clubs. Henry
Reinshagen and three of his high
school musicians favored the Rotar-
ians with several fine selections on
the harp, cello and two violins, Miss
Florence Nichols on the harp, Prof.
Reinshagen and Miss Thresa Agnich
on the violin and Miss Helen Ker-
ranen on the cello. Albert Hall told
of his visit with the original Rotary
Club in Chicago and Jim Laing re-
Walter Englund with the Boy Scouts.
The meeting was then turned over
to the Business Methods committee,
Tom Miller chairman. Raub James
spoke on "The Relations of the Re-
taller with the Buyer. Willard
Haynes on The Relations of the Re-
taller to the Customer. Owen ar
ker on "The Relations of the Doctor
to the Public" and Jim Moonan on
'The Relations of the Railroad
to the Public. Judge Freeman
made a short talk in which he told
several new stories. Next Monday
evening the members of the club
will visit the Virginia intercity meet

We hope the legislature won't

INDOOR BASEBALL LEAGUE
WILL PROBABLY RESULT

The Zenith Giants took the first
game of indoor baseball from the
School Faculty team by score of %
to 10 in a game played at the Mem
orial School Gymnasium, Tuesday
night. The game was featured by
Baldauf's brilliant playing at short
stop, he being the outstanding play
er of the game; his work at bat for
the Faculty team was also brilliant
making 3 runs and hits out of 8
times at bat for a perfect batting
score. Hedloff was the high scorer
for the Giants making 5 runs in
5 times at bat; his work behind the
bat was effective. Altho Baldauf
is charged with errors, his effect
i've fielding in covering the greater
part of the floor was largely re-
sponsible for keeping the Giants
score from running up. A double
play was featured in the second in
ning-Murn to Olsen, retiring the
Giants. Chinn struck out ) men
and Powers 3; Chinn was effective
in all innings but the sixth while
Powers was batted freely. Errors
were quite numerous on part of the
Faculty team.

More Ted and less taxes" is be-
ginning to set heavily on some of
our legislators with pet schemes for
this, that and the other. Governor
Christensen has outlined program
of tax reduction and will not sane
ton any move for additional .levies
or bond ise'les. While it is true
that road funds are needed, it is also
true that the taxpayer should have
some relief. 1t is also true that
the people rule and if they insist
on having everything possible I'M
der the sun, they should expect to
pay for it. The state and county
taxes have not raised to any re-
markable extent but the city and
school taxes have gone to the sky.
Right here in Ely the rate this year
Is 1908 divided 1887 for the
schools; 1884 for the city; 9.81
for the county and 5.78 for the
state. However, this is local and
our people are perfectly content to
pay the price providing they get
something for it and no ''wanton
waste" accusations have been made
against us, so far.

THAT they are not of the class of
men who build city, nor are
they men of the stripe who will
stick, and when the time comes,
put their shoulder to the wheel

THAT these narrow-minded hoard

making of money. Their every
thought is of accommodating wealth;
in their greed they even practice
deception and charge exorbitant
prices for everything they do or
sell.
THAT they would resent being
called dishonest, but they ARE
dishonest. They are dishonest to

to the city in which they live.

is TAXATION JUST?

Man has never yet devised an abb
selutely just and equitable system
of taxation.
In Minnesota the residents of
cities, in addition to standing the
nigh rates for their municipalities,
nave to contribute to two or three
funds of which they get decidedly
the short end.
Take the. road fund for instance.
1t is ene-mill tax, and the wealthy
counties have to pay the big part
of this-Hennepin, Ramsey and st.
Louis-playing nearly as much as
all the rest OF the state. The most
all three get back is nine per cent
of the total, the other nInety-one
per cent being distributed to the
other counties. The small counties
received from two to three times as
much as they pay in. Then there
Is the automobile license fees. Du-
luth, Minneapolis and st. Paul pay
from 40 to Al per cent of the total
and get back hardly any of it
The northern section of the state,
rich in iron ore, also turns into the
state treasury several million dollars
a year, in addition to the heavy
local expenses, often reaching the
near limit of extravaganza. This
money, contributed wholly from a
few counties, goes toward paying
the expenses of the state at large.
This is not quite the whole story.
All the cities pay something over
rs per cent of the road taxes, and
all of it is expended on roads out
side these cities.
In the matter of state taxation
the farmers get decidedly the better
of it over the city dwellers.
Here is peculiar condition
Whenever it is proposed to improve
the highways of the state, the OBJ
lection comes not from the cities,
who carry IS per cent of the bur-
den, and get back none of the coin,
but from the rural districts that get
back a big round dollar for every
% cents they put into the state
pool.
In every session Of the legislature
the city members as rule, line up
for good roads, and for liberal APP
preparations to the public school,
while the DIRECTORS are in many
cases the farmer members.
We are not making any argu-
ment against the system-indeed we
approve it-because it is a state
proposition, and what benefits the
state is worth while, and good high
ways and good schools are public
necessities, and in the general well
fare the country and the city should
be united.
Reasoning from purely selfish
and narrow point of view the city
man has grounds for asserting that
taking money away from him to be
expended outside his home town, is
unfair and unjust. Be. it said to
the credit of the urbanites they
make no such claim, and by silence
at least, consent to do their share
to make Minnesota great, well inn
proved commonwealth, recognizing
that successful agriculture is the
basis of the general welfare. It is
this spirit of statehood backing up
what is the best for Minnesota,
that spells civic patriotism.-St.

Swimming TEAMS
MUCH IMPROVED.
BOYS TEAM GIVE GILBERT
HARD TUSSLE - GIRLS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT.

The Gilbert swimming team, not
understanding their years OF prac-
tice, came within about points OF
losing the meet here Saturday
evening with the local swimmers.
Their only salvation was the Re
lay race which was won by them
with time of 1.34 and LIS. This
was the deciding event and gave
them the edge over the Ely swim
mers on a score of 371s to 30h.
From a spectators standpoint, we
would have given Ely about 10
points on the department of the Gil
bert coach who seemed to be tolersbly
peeved over something and as
though things had settled crosswise
in his scheme of affairs
The Ely boys showed much bet
ter form than on previous occasions
and there is notNa particle of doubt
that before the season lends they
will be up among the leaders. Coach
Herseth has improved their starting

A .bulletin of the highway depart
ment is authority for the statement
that during the year 1924, eighty
Eve miles of state highway system
were paved. That more were not
paved is due, according to the same
authority, to the fact that the
money paid into the state highway
department in the way of auto
license fees were absorbed, first a
large portion to pay reimbursement
bonds of counties which bonded to
anticipate the refunds from the
state highway department; second, a
large part by maintenance expense
on dirt and gravel roads, which is
amounting each year as traffic over
such roads increases, and third by
new grade construction and gravel
ing which absorbed the balance
after paving only 81 miles.
On top of this comes the state
ment that the amount available for
future road construction will be
lessened by increased refundment
payments ON bonds which come due
and by the ever mounting cost of
the maintenance on the inadequate
dirt and gravel roads.
At that rate, the question natur-
ally arises, if S5 miles are paved
this year with comparatively normal
expenditures along other lines, how
long will it take to pave the 1000
miles of highways in the state high
way system?
The solution seems to be 10 ac-
ceeid to the recommendation OF
the state highway department to pro-
vide funds for building roads to
meet the requirements of the traf-
fic that is ever increasing, thereby
stopping much of waste that now
goes into maintenance which gives
no tangible constructive results to
the states system of highways

Some one in the legislature has
devised bill to give the State
Commissioner of Education the
right to over-rule local schooi
boards in the discharge or demotion
of teachers. This is a far fetched
view of affairs as they exist. In
our opinion, the local boards are
the better judges of the fitness OF
teachers for given positions. An
instructor may be perfectly capable
in Ely and satisfactory to the
Board. Why should the State Com
missioner but in and tell the board
to hire or fire him or her, provid-
ing the state has issued him Or hen

A few more sentences of 10
years in the reformatory at st.
Cloud and later 10 years in the
penitentiary at Saltwater, given to
the boy bandits in Duluth recently
by Judge Kenny at the request of
County Attorney Forbes, will have
the desired effect. The criminal
instincts of the youths are most
surely nipped in the bud and double
purposes in the sentence are served.
1t teaches the youngsters that crime
does not pay, a lesson sadly learn

which stands out prominently to
