TRUCK OWNERS BECOMING DULY
ALARMED OVER NEW TAX
Organization Perfected Here Last Evening AS
o Branch of the Minnesota Commercial
Truck Owners Association by Field Agent
Arneson.

In company with other truck own
ers throughout the state the public
and private truck owners in this
city organized last evening to fight
the new truck tax law which goes
into effect in this state on January
/. Every town in the state has an
organization pledged to have this
law modified under the claim that
thousands of personal and private
trucks will be put out of business
should the law stick.
An effort will be made to have
the courts act on the measure as
passed by the legislature of 1925
and to take effect next January.
Should this not succeed the legis-
lature to be elected next year will
be called upon to modify the law.
The dire effects of the measure
will be felt next January when the
licenses for the coming year become
due. AS the license for the truck
is based on the value of the truck
at the time of purchase and not on
the present value, it is a foregone
conclusion that inequalities are

A converted touring car used for
trucking will be valued on the orig

and 10 per cent where the same is
used for hire. Thus, four thou
sand dollar Packard car converted
into a truck will pay 5000 a year
if used for store delivery or other
private work and $400 a year if
used for truck for hire" purposes.
The injustice of the measure did
not become apparent until truck
owners began to budget their bust

the measure be made to stick, the
ordinary truck owner will be ruined

DISTRICT GOVERNOR
VISITS ROTARY CLUB
EDWARD A SILBERSTEIN OFF,
CIALLY VISITS ELY ROT
AIRY WEDNESDAY.

The Ely Rotary Club on Wednes-
day evening had the pleasure of en-
joying an official visit with Edward
A. Silberstein of Duluth, Ninth Dis
trict Governor of Rotary. This was
the first visit of the governor to the
Ely club and he expressed himself
as very much pleased with the re-
ception accorded him and the act
ivity of the CLUB.
After a very fine dinner served
by the ladies of the M. E. church
and a short program of Club sing
ing, Governor Sllberstein was intro
duced to those present by President
Harvey Lockhart. The governor in
few brief words complimented the
club on it's growth and it's member
ship and the work it was doing.
He then made one of his character
istic addresses on the principles of
Rotary"
He touched on the several phases
of the organization and spoke large
ly from a business standpoint, not
forgetting the Service" side of the
Rotary Code. Rotary gives special
attention. to business, not for it's
bigness but for it's bitterness, said
Governor Ed. "The future rests up
on the present and each and every
one is doing something to help or
hinder in the building of the future.
1t is good thing for all Club men,
bers, as well as for all individuals,
to check up on themselves now and
then. Human hearts crave comrade-
ship and Rotary is a great help in
making US comrades. Rotary is
teaching men how to find life.
Rotary is not religion but a philo-
sophy of life"
He cited the attitude of the
European countries towards Rotary
and repeated the irrefutable state
ment of hundreds of prominent
European Rotarians that the subject
Of world peace will be solved as
fast as mora countries become en-
Unused with the Rotary spirit and
become better acquainted among
themselves. He cited the hundred
year amiability of this country and
Canada with only an imaginary line
to divide them. His solution to this
was that America and Canada had

one another.
After the dinner, the governor
met with the officers and the chair
men of the committees and many
matters of Importance were dis
cussed.
1t is a pleasure to meet Governor
Ed. and the Ely members extended
him cordial invitation to come
again soon. This he failed to prom
Use. as he stated that his time in
officially visiting all the clubs in the
district and trying to attend to his
business in Duluth was about all
that he could do. Ely was the
thirty-sixth club he has visited so
far.

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK


THAT tremendous savings are made
by thrifty buyers who read the
ads and shop where the best buys
are to be found.
THAT the advertisements show the
unrivaled ability of the stores
that advertise to give their GUS
toners desirable and worthy mer-
chandise at prices that satisfy.
THAT when you buy from the
stores that are persistent adver-
tisers you take no chance.
THAT the people who do not read
the advertisements do not know
what is going on; they do not
realize what a mistake they are
making.
THAT they live, their lives, but
overlook the fact that they could
live a whole lot better if they
read the ads. Reading the ads
would show them where they
could buy more for less.
THAT real economy in purchasing
merchandise is not the original
price paid, but the good buy is
where a fair price is paid for a
good article which will give good
service.
THAT merchants who advertise per-
sistently must sell goods to the
same people month after month.
their merchandise must be good
and their advertising truthful or
their reputation for square deal
ing, likewise their business would
go to the "bow-wows."

u" HOMECOMING
IOWA GAME DAY.
ALUMNI FROM 1873 ON PLAN
TO ATTEND CAMPUS RE-
UNIONS NOVEMBER II.

Representatives of every class
from 1873 to 1925 are expected to
return to the University of Mime
sofa campus Saturday, Nov. IA for
the annual 'Homecomin" to which,
each year, thousands of graduates
and former students make their way
from all parts of the country.
Special reunions will be held by
many of the ''five year classes, in
Guiding this year 1920, 1915, 1910,
etc.
Minnesota's Homecoming will be
the latest at any of the western
conference universities this year,
having been set back two weeks so
that it might come on the day of
the Iowa football game, inasmuch
as Minnesota has been a frequent
guest team for the football game
at Iowa's Homecoming.
The Iowa-Minnesota game is more
than likely to decide the conference
championship in the opinion of many
football experts, as the Hawkeyes
now have an easy schedule up to
Minnesota and are likely to go un-
defeated up to November Ia. If
they do the contest will be one of
the most sensational and significant
ever played in the western confer
ence, with Iowa's sophomore sensa-
ton, Nick Kutsch, pitted against
the sophomore stars of Minnesota,
Joesting, Murrell and Almquist
among the others.
A special issue of Ski-U-Mah, the
student magazine, parade of stud
ent floats, decoration of fraternity
and sorority houses, open house to
visitors at several places on the
campus and many dances and other
gatherings are on the schedule for
Homecoming. The crowd at the
stadium for the football game is ex-
pected to be second only to that
drawn for Notre Dame and may
pass the Notre Dame figures if the
championship depends on that meet
ing.
Homecoming arrangements are
chiefly in the hands of the students,
and large committee representing
the student body has been at work
for month making preparations.

paying $500 per year. Next Janu-
airy this same truck will pay 500
per year. This is for private trucks
used for store delivery or light
hauling. Should you run the same
truck for hire the license fee will
be 5000 for the year.
The same ratio applies on the
lower priced truck. A Ford, cost
ing when new 5000, will be assessed
at per cent or $50 for private use
and $50 for commercial purposes.
The business man has become thor
oughly aroused over the injustice of
the measure and everywhere is or
ganizing to fight the insidious and
discriminatory law.
James S. Arneson, field agent for
the Minnesota Commercial Truck
Owners Association was in the city
yesterday on invitation of truck
owners here and last evening spoke
to large number at the Community
Center regarding the law. Mr..
Arneson described the inequalities
of the measure in very under
standing manner and aroused his
listeners to the truth of the meas
ure. He cites cases where the mer-
chant would be forced to go back
to the old style of delivery or cut
it out entirely. He showed where
fleet of trucks would become a
sore liability instead of an asset to
the business and he called on the
owners to organize and assist in
fighting the menace.
An organization was afterwards
effected and a set of officers chosen
as follows:
President j. A. Rothman.
Vice President. L. Pete.
Secretary-L. M. Brownell.
Treasurer-Frank Veranth, Jr.
Every truck owner in the city is
requested to sign the roll and be-
come an active member of the Ely
branch of the Association. United
with the other state bodies the whole
will bear weight. Get busy and
look the matter over carefully and
when called upon attend the meet
ings of the branch and help all you
can to set this wrong right.

Every communist in the United

cording to the information, will

students. Three-fourths of the time
of the students will be devoted to
