One of the charms of auction is the
peculiar fact that interesting hands
have habit of coming up at the most
unexpected moments. You will be play
ing along for hours and only normal
hands vii be dealt and then a puzzling
hand will come up, one that invites dis
cussion ana more or less wide differ
ence of opinion. Auction players every
where love to talk over hands and the
so-called post-mortem" is as much a
part of the game as the play and bid
ding itself. The unexpected" IS really
auctions greatest charm and because
of the infinite number of hands possible,
this unexpected element always will be
present.
1t really is remarkable that good
players, even in the same group or club,
differ so radically in their theory,of bid
ding. Such is the case, however, and it
is really tribute to the greatness of
auction as game. The individual ele-
ment has so far prevailed and as long
as it does auction will retain its popu-
larity. To really enjoy a game or COM
petition of any kind the player likes to
feel that he is as good as the next one,
that he has an even chance, and auction
certainly offers that attraction.

TODAY
Wilma BGnky Quick
,o,,, To Learn English

Wilma Banky, the blonde screen
eharmer recently imported from
Budapest, has been in America
only a few months, but she has
learned enough English to say
that she thinks it is ausgezeichnet
Hungarian for "Jake") that she
was chosen to play opposite
Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle, /"
his first United Artists Corpora
tion release, showing at the
Strand today.
In fact, Miss Banky's English
is quite remarkable. She has been
deyoting herself to it assiduously
and from a vocabulary consisting
Of 'lamb chops and pineapple"
she has progressed to the point
of making herself poignant ex-
perience to any man who meets
her. This is not accomplished
merely by the use of words, but
is perhaps more the result of
eyes, hair, gesture-what Sir
James M. Barrie called "That
damned charm"
Miss BanKy enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only Hungarian
who has attained prominence in
American motion pictures. Pola
Negri, represents the Poles; Victor
Seastrom, the Swedes; Valentino,
the Italians; Ernst Lubitsch, the
Germans; Jetta GoudaI, the
French, and Bull Montana, the
Neanderthals, but Miss Banky is
the first to arrive from Budapest.
The actress comes from a nom
theatrical family, her father being
q. public official in her native
land. Samuel Goldwyn, the Am
erican producer, saw a picture of
her in a photographers window
on a recent visit to Budapest and
was 50 impressed that he sought
an interview and signed her on a
long-term contract. Mr.. Goldwyn
loaned her for the Valentino pic
thre.
The story of Miss Banky's Sc
lection to play in "The Eagle" is
as romantic as her original entry
into American films. 1t is told in
Hollywood (but not necessarily to
be believed, Hollywood being what
IL isl that Valentino had sought in
vain for an actress, blonde, beauti-
full, of foreign mannerisms and Of
great emotional ability.
Finally, he saw a girl riding in
the Hollywood hills. She sat her
horse so well. and furthermore,
she rode side-sadtlle-an I'M
American customand had such
manner and charm that he in
mediateIy visualized her as the
heroine of his Russian picture. He
then made an appointment for her
to meet Mr., Schneck and his di-
rector Clarence Brown. They
approved the selection and the
contract was signed.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-10-01

Fay Cravens over at Milaca is still
harping on what labor saving
machinery has done in the mining
country and how many people have
been thrown out of work by the
steam shovel, automatic boiler feed
lers, slushers, etc. He probably writes
Jail these Gust to be contrary art
| icles on a typewriter and has the
TYPE set on a machine and not by
hand as it would be expected of one
with such ideas. The manufacture
of typewriters was begun just nifty
years ago and has opened a wide
field for employment in which thou
sands are now participating. The
linotype in the printing Office opened
la profitable era for the printer and
more printers are now employed
than before the advent of the
machine. We have also lived through
the hand to machine period in the
mining industry and can truthfully
state that more men are employed,
better work is done and the personal
danger to the miner has been re-
|duced to the minimum since the
machine era in mining. Cravens
should go back to the tallow candle,
hand set type and Washington hand
press for a few years and then ex-
press his opinion on labor-saving
machinery.

BABcocK UNJUsTLY BLAMED.

editorial in Fairmont Sentinel.)
A number of exchanges coming
to the Sentinel Office have been pub
fishing some rather heated editorials
in opposition to the building of the
so-called Superior National Forest
roads. We do not question their
rights to express opinions on any
matter affecting the state of Min
nesota, but we suspect that some
| of them have jumped into the argu-
ment and taken sides without being
fully informed on the subject.
Some six or eight years ago tie
State Relief board appropriated "a
sum of money to build a road from
Grand Marais north, through the
east end Of the Superior National
Forest.
The state forestry board, the fed
eral forest service, the game and
fish department, the state auditor
and the governor seem to have been
unanimous in the belief that there
was urgent need for the road. This
road has been known as the Jake
Preus highway or more commonly
the Gunf1int trail.
Now the counties propose to ex-
tend this road westward to Seagull
lake and to build another road east
ward from Ely to Fernberg lookout
and later to build a connection be-
tween these two roads. These pro-
iects are entirely outside and north
of the Superior National Forest.
Now some of the people in these
counties are wondering what right
people in other parts of the state
have to say that they cannot build
roads in their own counties, through
privately owned land, if they choose
to do so.
There is not a dollar Of state
money going into these roads. They
are neither trunk highways nor
state aid roads. Commissioner Bah
cock, who has aroused the ire of the
opponents of these roads because he
favors their construction, can neither
build them nor prevent their being
built. He has simply expressed the
opinion that it would be to the in
terest of the state and the public
hat these roads be built, and if there

TAX ALL LAND ALIKE.

Amendment No. 2, the forestry
tax amendment, proposes that all
land shall be taxed according to its
value, whether it grows trees or
wheat, potatoes or weeds, whether it
is pasture, field or building site.
If it is worth five dollars an acre,
it should pay taxes on that value
and no more. IL it is worth fifty
dollars, it should pay taxes on that
value. If it is worth five hundred
dollars, assess it on that basis. Ii
lit is worth five thousand dollars a
front foot, it pays taxes in proper
ton.
The value-the market value-is
not what land is producing but what
| it can produce. If field is fallow,
producing nothing, the value is still
there and it pays taxes accordingly
If lot is vacant it still has market
value and is taxed accordingly. Idle
or useful, it is taxed just the same.
| If the owner does not improve it
and get revenue from it, that is his
lookout 1t is taxed no less for ly-
ing idle and taxed no more for be-
| ing used.
1t is proposed to tax land that is
growing trees exactly the same as
any other land.
No favors should be granted to
the owner simply because trees are
growing ON his land. With or with
out the trees, it should be taxed the
same according to value.
The taxation of the trees that are
growing on the land is another mat.
ter. So far as the land itself is
concerned, it is to pay no more and
no less than other land of equal
value in the neghborhood.
That is the policy which will be
followed when Amend ment No. 2
goes into effect.
