Magnus Johnson opened up his
campaign for governor with a key
note speech at Wilmar in which he
purveyed a lot of old-time stuff for
which he is famous. His platform
is filled with planks and that is
about all. He again opened up the
old tonnage tax sore by advocating
the raising of the tax from six per
cent to ten per cent. Magnus evil
IDENTIFY does not care what happens
to the mining industry and keeps on
shouting lower taxes for farmers
ana the raising of all revenues by
taxing the mines which industry is
at present the highest taxed indus
try in the state. The tonnage tax
has already forced several of the
smaller mines out of business and
an additional raise would Just about
clean out the balance. Out of ITO
mines in st. Louis county there are
only 76 in operation and 102 are
idle. The total number of men en-
ployed in these mines is 10,180.
Figure it out for yourself what the
number of employed would be if all
the mines were operating. Magnus
should be suppressed with an ave-
lanche of votes for Christianson from
which he could not emerge for
years, if at all?

A FRIEND OF NORTHERN
MINNESOTA.

There is one candidate on the
State ticket that should receive the
vote of every voter in northern Min
nesota and the Range section. That
man is Oscar HI. Smith, candidate.
for State Treasurer.
Back in the days when the ton
mage tax fight was being bitterly
waged, Mr.. Smith was one of the
prominent southern Minnesota men
who had the courage to oppose the
tonnage tax. He not only opposea
it through the columns of his paper,
but he fought it at every turn of the
road. In the Republican state con-
Vention. of 1920, Mr.. Smith was
chairman of the Mcleod county
delegation. He told the editor of
this paper just before the conven-
ton that he would fight to the Bit
ter end to prevent the adoption oe
plank in the platform declaring
for tonnage tax and that his en-
tire delegation would vote against
such a plank. And when it came 20
a vote the Mcleod county delega-
ton voted solidly against the tom
mage tax, being the only southern
Minnesota delegation to cast their
vote with the northern Minnesota
counties.
AS head of the State Immigra-
ton Department for several years
Mr.. Smith has been actively identi-
fed with everything affecting the
welfare of this section. Not only
has he ably looked after the work of
his own department in bringing ia
new settlers and thus winning for
himself the distinction of being the
best immigration Commissioner this
state has ever had. but he has
fought for the preservation of our
remaining forests, the increasing of
our tourist business and the pre-
servation of our wild life.
Oscar Smith has been our friend.
He braved the wrath of the south
end of the state in the occupation
tax unpleasantness and in recogni-
tion of this, it is up to us to show
our appreciation. The Miner has
always advocated recognizing south
state seekers for public office who
recognized the northern end of the
state. The tonnage tax vote show
ed who was our friend. Oscar
Smith was worker against the rob-
berry whereby a hundred or more
mines on the ranges were put out of
commission.

KIND WORDS FROM A FRIEND
FOR u. S. C. McMAHAN.
Chisholm, Mimi, June 8, 1872

Chisholm, Mimi, June 8, 1926
To the Editor of The Ely Miner:
Dear Sir: Having noted the large
number of filings for the Office +
County Commissioner in the Fourt.l
District, / wish to state that the dis
trict will be- making a big mlstak-
if it does not return U. S. Grant
McMahan to the Board.
1t was my pleasure to serve with
McMahan for several years and at
no time during these years was his
honesty, loyalty or ability question
ed. The other commissioners who
served on the board will bear me
out when | make the statement that
u. S. Grant McMahan was the best
county commissioner this county
has ever had. The County officers
in the court house will second this
statement intellectually.
The position of County Commits
sioner must combine executive
ability along with honesty to sue
cesstully cope with the many intri-
cate problems that arise in this, the
richest county in the country. Grant
McMahan has all of these besides
having the highly developed trait of
sticking to his friends and true
conception of loyalty to his enl-
ployes.
For fourteen out of sixteen years
on the board, McMahan was chair
man of the finance committee, al
ways being reelected by his col
leagues as the man for this intricate
position. These elections always We're
unanimous and against the wishes of
Mr.. McMahan.
My advice to the voters of the
Fourth District is to stick to Grant
McMahan. Tried and true men
should be kept in public Office and
the election of McMahan will in
sure for the district the services of
one who has made good and has
very qualification to continue the
good work for the district and the
county.
Yours Very Truly,
RALPH S. O'NEIL,
Former County Commissioner.

"At the 1926 session of the leg
islature, when the newspapers were
the especial target of legislators who
wanted to get even with personal
enemies and were willing to punish
all newspaper publishers in order to
do so, Senator Mike Boylan was one
of the strongest supporters the
newspaper boys had. He was not
only willing to take up the cudgel in
behalf of the newspapers, but know
ing Mike as you do, you can readily
imagine he was always fearless in
his action. All this despite the
fact that Mike had no particular
reason to feel especially friendly 20
the newspapers, as you may recall.
| understand that Senator Boy
Ian has hard fight on hand in this
primary campaign. / don't know
how you stand in regard to Boylan,
but l want to impart the above in
formation as a matter of fairness to
Boyian and to my pledge to myself.
Please receive this letter in the
spirit in which it is written. Senat-
or Boylan came to the aid of the
newspapers when they needed help,
and as your representative in the
hight l feel that l should tell you.
Fraternally yours,

MOTHERS MISTAKES.

What are the leading reasons why
American girls do not confide in
their mothers?
An editorial inquiry in the Wo-
mans Home Companion with the
idea of throwing some light on this
timely question brought flood of
letters from girls all over the United
States,
An analysis of the replies showed
the following reasons why the writ
ers of these letters, having tried to
confide in their mothers, no longer
do so:
Because SIT mothers deliberately
lied when questioned about sex and
the source of life; 500 more evaded
the question; 351 betrayed conf
dence; 335 were too old fashioned |;
227 were too busy to listen to their
children; 1876 were not interested
in their daughters condolences; 172
were too critical; 161 did not trust
their daughters, and a confidence
was a confession; 1913 forgot that
they had ever been easily shocked !;
139 laughed at childish condolences !;
135 insisted on managing all their
children's affairs at any age; lis
did not solve their children's re-
hgious problems satisfactorily; la
never invited confidence and gave
none; SO were not affectionate; II
nagged; 65 were unfair: 81 were
dictatorial.
A typical letter from a twenty
year old girl said in part:
1T seems to me that the main
e
eral so-called iappers, fail to con-
fde in our mothers is because the
mothers fail to invite our conf
dences.

Mr.. Joseph F. Kotze, of Eveleth.
is in the race for Representative for
61st District.
Mr.. Kotze was born in Ely in
1897, and is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Kotze, former Ely and Tower
old settlers. Mr.. Kotze moved to
Virginia in 1905 and to Eveleth the
following year where he has resided
the last twenty years. He is a
graduate of the Eveleth Senior High
School, and has had three years of
college training. In addition he has
three years of banking experience
and is at present employed in the
yard service of the Duluth & Iron
Range R. r. Co. at Eveleth.
Mr.. Kotze is an ex-service man
and member of the Eveleth Post
of the American Legion. He was
a candidate two years ago and made
many friends in that campaign. He
was recently endorsed by the Farm
er Labor Convention for Repre-
sentative of the 61st District.

Three-fourths has been cut over.
What is left of the original stand
will soon be cut off. Much of that
land has been put into farms and
more will be added to farm acreage
hereafter. But when it has all been
placed, there will be something like
eight million acres what might be
called at large.
Eight million acres is lot. 1t is
about twice as much area as the
First Congressional district. 1t is
nearly as much as the First and Sec
ond districts put together.
1t would just about cover the Red
River Valley from Kittson county TO
Otter Tail.
What are you going to do about
it! That is too much land to leave
off the payroll. When every acre
has a load of taxes to carry, no
fair letting eight million acres
escape the, tax duty.
Eight million acres waiting for a
job-not idle exactly; most of it is
raising second crop of trees as
fast as it ever cannot idle but
rather sat leisure" as they say on
the Rialto. 1t will grow trees or do
nothing. 1t will grow trees if it
has half chance.
What shall be done with it.
One of three things can happen.
After the federal government has
taken what it wants for forest, after
the farmers have taken all they can
use in agriculture, what happens 20
the rest of the land will be one of
these three:
1t will raise a crop of trees for
the state, it will raise crop of
trees for private owners, or it will
go bare.
If nothing is done about it, the
last will happen. 1t will po bare.
Leave it alone and the fires will run
through it. And again. And again.
About the third time it burns over,
it is barren. After two or three
fires the seed is gone and the soil is
ruined. There is neither seed nor
soil for seedlings. Fire will run
and ruin the land unless it is pro-
teeted. Hazards have increased since
primeval times. Even before the
white man came there were wide
areas where the fires got the better
of the forests and so they became
prairies. But in a well watered
country like Northern Minnesota,
with only the Indians and occasional
lightnings to contend with, the for
ests held their ground.
But now with camp fires and
cigarette stubs, with fishermen and
settlers, with the locomotive shower
ing sparks and the automobile scoot-
ing through the woods, with ten
times as many folks around as there
were in the Indian days, the cutover
country hasn't a chance without pro-
lection from fire.
Well, nobody wants to see the
country go bare. That is the last
thing anyone would intend to let
happen. The intention is to have it
raise another crop of trees-produce
revenue-pay its share of the taxes.
Let it go bare and there is neither
production of wealth nor payment Of
taxes. That won't do. 1t must not
be left to desolation.
That is, it must have fire protec-
ton. 1t must be raising another
crop of trees, either for the state or
for private owners, and in that way
carry its share of the tax load and
contribute its share to the wealth OF
the state.
What shall be done about it,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-06-11

A statistical sharp has figured
that ''the cigars smoked IN the
United States last year if laid end to
end would stretch over 593,934
miles. A single days eonsumptl~n
of cigars and cigarettes would reach
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
back again" Well what about 1t:
We don't know whether this dlscov-
cry was made by Congressional
commission or not but swill say
that if it was, it was remiss in its
duty as the public is also dying to
know how many trees were used to
make the matches used In lighting
these cigars and cigarettes. How
ever it behooves the smokers to be
more careful as it has been proven
that the majority of fires start from
cigarette stubs and matches used IN
lighting them and it was probably
for the purpose of calling attention
to the danger that the figures were
complied.
