YOUR INCOME TAX.

Net income, upon which the in

REFORM BY BUSINESS MEN.

There is an old gag in a popular
song: "For everything wrong be-
meath the sun I'll make law to
stop it."
This is the season of the year
when would-be political reformers
advocate multiplicity of state and
national laws to remedy imperfec-
tions in trade and industry.
There is large number of
people who believe that the remedy
for defects and abuses and dishon-
estv in the business world is more
and still more legislation.
Thus it comes about that Congress
and state Legislatures and city gov
ernments design measures to control
and regulate railways, public util-
tiles and big industries.
The wonder is that with all these
onslaughts in the past, it has been
possible for large industrial and pub
lie service organizations to exist, to
say nothing about their ability to
make profits and enlist new capital
for extensions.
As usual, many novelties and ex-
periments are proposed this month
of the year that the Romans dig
nifed with the God Januaris, fig
ure facing both ways.
About five new cabinet positions
with prospective employment for
100000 officials and hundreds of
new state boards and commissions,
also employing taxeaters galore, are
proposed with the magic formula
"Be it enacted, ETC."
The people can only pray hat
most of these propositions will be
defeated and that steady principles
of self reliance and commonsense
may prevail in their stead. We can
never improve on. the maxim of
Thomas Jefferson that an intelligent
commonwealth is governed the best
when it is governed the least.

SHALL WE ExTERMINATE THE
MOOSE?

The agitation to reopen the moose
season in Minnesota is the most
short-sighted, selfish and unreason-
able movement that has been start
ed in this state by that minority of
sportsmen who are out for all they
can get and to hell with the con-
sequences and the other fellow.
Guy E. Halgren of Watertown
makes an eloquent appeal for the
return of the moose hunting. |
wont repeat or discuss any part of
his reasoning excepting the last
paragraph of his article in "Fins,
Feathers and Fur"
He says:
"If we are driving our moose in
to Canada land we surely are) why
not give the sportsmen an oppor-
tunity before they are all gomez"
In other words, since the moose
are being driven into Canada, thu
best thing to do is to make good
job of it and drive them not only
there but to extinction just as fast
as it is humanity possible to do so.
If this is the line of reasoning of
s0-called sportsmen, it is no wonder
that many species of wild life have
disappeared and that others are on
the way.

antelope and the bison because only
q few are left and we might as well

the following bit of advice that IS
equally applicable in Ely:
There will be a peddler here in
day or two selling shirts. When
he calls on you and solicits your
trade, ask him a few pertinent ques-
tions along this line:
Have you contributed anything to
the Ely Christmas fund?
Do you pay any taxes IN st.

Do you help support the Com
fnercial club in its work for the gen
eral good?
Which church in town do you

INDIAN MILLER
PAYS SIS TO SEE
EAGLES SET FREE

A queer bargain was reached
Monday morning between Indian"
Miller, proprietor of the zoo at
Canyon Lodge, and A. O. La Prade
in which the fact that two captive
eagles belonging to Mr.. La Prade
could not fly gave Mr.. Miller the
best of the deal
The two eagles were captured by
Mr.. La Prade last May when they
were still eaglets in their aerie.
He found them at the top of a
cedar tree near COncho, and TAX
ing them home, built a cage for
them Since that time he has
raised them as pets.
Mr. Miller, hearing about the
eagles, went to Mr. La Prade early
in the summer and offered to buy
them, as he wanted them to add to
the attractions at his zoo. At that
time, however, price could not
be agreed upon, and besides Mr..
La Prade was rather interested in
keeping the birds himself.
1LclOL NlOI1OcRy wi Ah1IICl anu WI :
La Prade met again. Mr.. La Prade
said that he had tired of the birds
and that Mr.. Miller could have
them at the price he had previously
offered Mr. Miller, however,
thought it was too late in the sea-
son to buy birds for his zoo, as the
heavy tourist trade is about over
n
too much during the winter.
"Then / guess I'll kill them, .
Mr.. La Prade said
At that Indian Miller scratched
his head. 1t did seem a shame to
kill such beautiful creatures.
Il tell you what l would rather
do" he said, Il will pay you S.
and you set them free"
The bargain was closed and the
birds were turned out Of the cage,
but, to the surprise of both men,
the creatures flapped their wings
and jumped around but could not
fly.
"This will never do" said Mr..
Miller. Something will kill them
if We leave them here. l guess l
had better take them out to Canyon
Lodge. Then | can see that moth
ing harms them and | can shoot 3
prairie dog or a rabbit for them
once in a while, so they won't
Starye."
So the eagles were taken to the
home of Indian Miller for the sum
of S. They are of what is known
as the Mexican breed. One, male
weighed about eighteen pounds,
while the other, female, weighed
abut eight pounds. Both, after a
little practice, were able to fly
thirty or forty feet. In a few days,
when their wings have grown
stronger from use, undoubtedly
they will be able to take the long
flights for which these birds are
noted, and unless Indian Miller
makes hit with them before that
time through his choice offerings of
prairie dogs and rabbits, he may
after all be the loser, as he says
he will not keep them in a cage.
Since the birds have been raised as
pets, however, they probably will
remain at the lodge and, perching
on a building or the stone wall at
the zoo, cock their heads at curious
visitors who come 20 see the many
kinds of animals held captive in
the zoo.
