NEXT MONDAY.

The Duluth Orpheum Players, the
same good company which present
ed THE Old Soak" in this city some
time ago has been secured by the
Legion boys for return engage
ment in "Mary's Ankle. This play
is said to be even better than "The
Old Soak and while the title of the
play might suggest risque things
this is not the case.
The Legion has gone to consid-
cradle expense in getting this COM
pany to Ely and a considerable
guarantee was made. The first per-
Torrance turned out well and it is
hoped this one will do the same in
order to have the Legion boys con-
tinue to furnish first class amuse-
ments for the people of Ely. The
Duluth Herald in reviewing the play
says:
Before a single line is spoken in
the play, 'Mary's Ankle there's a
laugh--and the gayety doesn't stop
until the final curtain. This merry
play which the Orpheum Players
presented for the first time Sunday
isn't the kind of show one imagines
from the title-instead of being
risque it's just an amusing show
that kept Sundays audiences happy.

Due to the coming of the

the League has postponed its meet

thing in readiness next fall for
securing a shipment.
The committee on fish and re-

TAX COMMISSION
ON ORE TAXES.
DO NOT LOOK WITH FAVOR ON
ADDITIONAL ORE TAX
BURDENS.

Naturally, bills dealing with fur
ton on iron ores imposed under
the Occupational Tax law have beer
introduced in the legislature. 1t is
the general opinion that these meas
ures will not get very far in eithe,
branch of the law making body.
The State Tax Commission in its
report submitted at the beginning
of the year among other things
spoke of the ore taxes as follows
I'm any consideration of the fair
ness of the rate of taxation imposed
under the occupation tax law, it
should be borne in mind that this
is a super or extra tax, as mining
property is also subject to the gen
eral ad valorem tax, iron ore being
taxable at so per cent. of it's full
value. Then, too, it should also be
remembered that the occupation tax
is not measured by the net value
of the ore mined, but on percent
age of net value. Based on the
expense reports of mining COM
panies, the deductions allowed rep
resent approximately 83 per cent of
total expenses, exclusive of inter
est on investment or depletion of
capital. This would make the tax
of per cent imposed on partiment
value equivalent to a tax of near
ly IN per cent on net value.
SIN 1921 the total ad valorem
taxes, state and local, imposed on
mining, property amounted to $751;
1876. If to this should be add
ed the occupation tax of $2,238,327,
we get total tax obligation for
that year of $20,423,438. This
would be equivalent to an average
tax of $118 on each ton of ore
mined in that year, and would rep
resent tax equal to 541a per cent
of net value for occupation tax pur-
poses, and 65A per cent of actual
net value for the ore mined.
''In 1922 the ad valorem taxes
amounted to S18,411 500, and occu-
patton taxes to $3,430,597, a total
of $21,852,097. This is equivalent
to an average tax of 76 " cents per
ton or ore mined in that year, and
represents tax equal to SO per
>NhG VI OSSoEStCiOlldl toA fdiQS, III
46 per cent of net value.
.In 1923 ad valorem taxes were
$40 ,655,26S, occupation taxes S.
126,443, and royalty taxes $1,007,-
085, total of $26, 788.796, which
would be equal to an average tax
of a little over so cents on. each
ton of ore mined in that year or
26h per cent of occupational tax
value and S11a per cent of net
value.
''It will be noted from the above
computations that the tax per ton
decreases as the tonnage mined in
creases. This is largely due to the
fact that in these computations all
taxes are charged to the tonnage
mined and of course as the tonnage
mined increases the average tax per
ton decreases because of the larger
tonnage over which the tax is
spread. The computations show quite
conclusively that the mining indus
try is not highly taxed in this
state"

SUPERIOR FOREST
ENLARGEMENT.
FACTS ABOUT PROPOSED SUP.
ERROR NATIONAL FOREST
EXTENSION.

A bill has been drawn Tor the
purpose of extending the Superior
National Forest and take in the
four disassociated divisions of the
Forest; to purchase private lands
within the Forest; to extend the
boundaries to include typical forest
lands only suited for forest produc-
ton TINS is rehash of the tui-
Ter Bill and is considered far
measure providing the taxation OF
forest ianus measure now before the
legislature Is favorably acted on.
The taxation measure proposes a
minimum tax on lands for fores.ra-
ton up to the time of the timber
, harvest and fair distribution of
taxes on lands held for mineral
rights providing they are used Tor
timber culture Along with the ex-
tension bill of the Superior National
Forest the following facts have been
submitted:
The Superior National Forest is
located near the Canadian border In
that section of Minnesota lying
North of Duluth between Lake
Superior and the international
boundary. The headquarters of the
Forest are at Ely in the Arrowhead
Country.
1t has a combined area of 1865
53S acres Of these All ,199 acres,
or 1920 are privately owned. The
forest lies in four separated sec
tions.
Minnesota contains about 20 mil
lion acres of typical forest lands In
all stages of reproduction.
Minnesota in 1899, produced p
BAL $4,000 feet of timber and
ranked third as a timber producing
state.
Minnesota in 1920 produced &c.,
100000 feet of timber and ranked
10Th as timber producing state.
The lands which grew tins timber
harvested in 1899, are IN many
cases not suited to anything but
forest use. Much of this territory
is not being handled to produce tim
Der so sorely needed.
Inclusion of lands in public for
ests insures continued productivity
of forests.
Proper forest administration of
such lands is a National economic
necessity of first magnitude.
There are no more typical timber
lands in the State of Minnesota,
than those surrounding the Superior
National Forest
There are no more exclusively
valuable lands for timber production
in the State than those within and

About 80 to 80 per cent of these

This growth conservatively may
be placed at so million board feet
