STATE AUDITOR
|. MAKES PLAIN TALK
STOP SPENDING, STOP BOR-
ROWING ON LONG
TERM BONDS.

State Auditor Ray P. Chase gave
the citizens something to think
about in his talk to the Duluth
Rotary Club last week. High taxes
and their causes and remedies were
discussed by Auditor Chase.
"The question of high taxes natur-
ally can be viewed from two
angles" he declared. "a certain
class of citizens are not menaced by
the high tax rate. These have
either comparatively small amount
of taxable property, or COMPARE
lively large cash income. Conse;
quently, they are willing to pay
their taxes and all they ask is: First,
honesty in office, that their pub
lie officials be not grafters; and
second, intelligence in Office, that
public business be administered with
the same wisdom demanded in the
administration of private business.
"But," he continued, "there is an
other class in Minnesota, and very
large class, to whom taxes are a
real burden and their continued in
crease very real menace. This
Is d GLASS VI anu az
turers, whom we want more Of in
this state, but whom we shall not
get unless we free ourselves from
the high tax rate"
Public improvements, admit -istra-
ton expense, interest on interest
bearing debts and federal nd state
aid were the four elements ascribed
by Mr.. Chase as the causes for the
present high taxes.
Minnesota expended more than
$58,000,000 during the last year
for educational purpose )" he stat
ed. "This is in comparison to the
$121 100000 received from taxa
ton for the same period. Roads,
public bitches, pavements, libraries,
parks, sidewalks, have made enor-
nous inroads on our tax incomes,
out of proportion to their values.
The expense of keeping up the de-
partments of the state, county and
city is known only too well by the
general public"
Mr.. Chase denounced "the excess
sive cost to the citizens of long
term bonds, which bear heavy in
terest The interest bearing debt
of Minnesota and all its civil divi-
sions at the present time exceeds
1915, 10000 and we are paying
annually in interest over $15,000,-
900. Here is an important cause
of high taxes, and one that is very
little considered or discussed"
"Stop spending, stop borrowing
and give compulsory publicity on
public funds and their disposition -
are the three methods by which Mr.
Chase declared taxes could be low
cred. eve, of Minnesota, demand
public improvements beyond our
financial ability to acquire at this
time, and the remedy for this is to
stop spending. In our efforts to
acquire improvements which we
can't afford, the people of Mime
sofa borrow money, much of it on
long-term bonds with an interest
burden that exceeds the principal
Les, borrowing and the issuance OF
erial bonds, when it is necessary
that bonds be issued, will reduce
our interest charge and will not
force the future generation to pay
bills that we have acquired"

LAKE SUPERIOR
INTERNATIONAL.
OFFICIAL OPENING CELEBRA-
TlON OF NEW HIGHWAY
ON JULY IL.

An event of more than ordinary
local Importance will take place at
Two Harbors on July IL when the
Lake Superior International High
way will be formally opened and
dedicated with appropriate cere-
monies: Ely in particular and the
range towns in general should be
represented at the ceremonies as
it marks the opening of one of the
most scenic routes in America and
furnishes a fine link in the chain
which binds the North shore of
Lake Superior to the range COM
munities by way of the Finland
cutoff to Ely and thus completing
the Wilderness Circle Trip"-the
pride of the motorist, and the way
to the prosperous Canadian cities,
Fort William and Port Arthur via.
Two Harbors or via. the Iron
Ranges through Ely and the Fin
land route.
Two Harbors and Lake County
are doing everything to boost the
Arrowhead Country. A few weeks
ago a proposition was made to
name this route the Arrowhead
Drive" but after it had been
brought to the attention of the
Two Harbors boosters that such a
name would be unfair to the bal
ance of the Arrowhead cities, this
was readily abandoned and Lake
Superior International Highway"
substituted. This showed good judg-
ment on the part of the boosters as
it was conceded a fact that the low
er part of the state would have
capitalized the Arrowhead Drive"
name and only the beginning and
end would have been mentioned.
intermediate towns and other towns
in the Arrowhead country would
have been ignored. The "Drive"
would have begun in the southern
end of the state and ended at Port
Arthur in all the advertising mat
ter.
Many of the state officials will be
present at the opening on July IL.
Lieutenant Governor w. 1. Nolan
and Highway Commissioner Yabcock
will make addresses. A plaque will
be unveiled on Silver Creek Cliff at
which County Attorney ]. A. VAIL
strom of Lake County will make
the principal address. Bands, quar-
tets and a barbecue with grand
ball will furnish entertainment.
The celebration is practically an
International affair and many from
the Canadian cities mentioned will
be there. The range towns are
doubly interested. There are three
roads leading to the Highway from
the ranges, the Miller Trunk to Du-
luth, the Vermilion Trail and State
Road No. 2 to Two Harbors and the
Ely-Finland road to Little Marais.
All Of these roads are in first class
condition.
DIR. r. L. Burns heads the Com
mittee on Entertainment and this in
itsek Is a guarantee of the excel
lence Of the program.
