ARROWHEAD DRIVE
ON THIS WEEK
$40, 900 BEING RAISED TO CAR
RY ON THE FOUR-SQUARE DE-
VELOPMENT PROGRAM DUR
ING THE COMING YEAR.

Present methods of taxing iron
ore in Minnesota are seriously at
fecting the industry, as well as re-
ducing the school funds of the state,
according to Fred d. Viber-, exec
utive director of the Minnesota Ar
rowhead association.
1t is for this reason that a proper
system of taxation of the iron ore
industry has been made as one of
the detectives of the association,
which is conducting its annual fund
campaign throughout the Arrowhead
country this week. The four-square
program of development to be car
ried out, if the $4,000 quota is
raised, includes the conservation of
the iron mining resources, reforesta-
ton, agricultural and recreation.
Arrowhead committees are direct
ing the drive in each of the twenty
seven member towns this week and
those in charge are confident that
the quota will be reached by next
Saturday.
"a recent survey of conditions in
the Arrowhead country revealed that
the present method of taxing iron
ore and mining was crippling that
industry; that no new exploration or
development work was being under
taken; that some mines were being
closed and that the peak had been
reached and that taxable iron valu-
ations in st. Louis county alone were
being reduced about $10,000,000 a
year.
''This is also state problem, not
only from taxation standpoint, but
from the standpoint of our trust
funds, derived from state lands. The
present permanent trust fund
amounts to SCI, 890,726 and came
from the following sources:
Sale of land, -----$21 ,416,796
Sale of timber, ------ 14,036, 032
Royalties on iron ore, - 20,522,753
Occupation tax, ------- 5,24S,57O
"Seventy-ive percent of the en-
tire fund came from the Arrowhead
Country and in distribution of the
interest from this fund we receive
IA percent and the balance of the
state sc percent.
"Of the remaining 1000, 900 acres
of the original land grants, all but
about $4,000 acres are in the Arrow
head Country, so that all further
additions to the trust fund must
come from this section.
"Are the people of the state as
guardians of this property and d.
rectly interested in the proceeds
from this fund handling it to derive
the greatest possible returns? AS a
matter of fact are they not reducing
the values of the states holdings
and slowly driving a very important
industry out of the state, for it can
not be denied that many operators
are getting out as fast as they can.
l believe that if the people gener-
ally understood the facts, they would
be willing to sit around the table
and discuss them and honestly try
to solve the problem"

the local board and a member of the
advisory committee as a director.

LEG|ON.M|NSTREL
TROUPE, DEC. IS,
DARKTOWNS MOST STRUTTINC-
IST STRUTTERS AND MUSIC
ISTS-END MEN AND INTER
LOCUTOR-WILL POSITIVELY
DO THEIR STUFF DEC. Is.

Grapevine advices from the Com
munity Center where nightly the
end men, dancers, singers aud joke
sters of the Frank Lozar Post Min
strels are rehearsing under the able
tutelage of Mrs. Luther M. Bang,
for the appearance at the Washing
ton Auditorium on the evening of
December 18th of Ely's only minstrel
show of the season, are to the effect
that doings will be a'plenty for this
event and that everything IS shap-
ing for one of the best exhibitions
ever put on in this city by local
talent.
The musical part has been devel-
oped by Prof. Schacht and the talent
disclosed so far bids fair to over
shadow anything heretofore given
in the northwest in the line of min
strel singers. As nosey as is the
ordinary newspaper man, he failed
to get closer to the actual program
to be given than that it will be all
the people have been waiting for
and that full details will be made
public next week.
However, we have been informed
under strict secrecy that there will
be eighteen men in the troupe with
Sig Olson as interloctutor. Don't tell
anybody. If this is the case and we
have not been misinformed it can
safely be said that the show will be
worth the price of admission and
then some. Next week the nrogram
will be complete and we will try to
get it to you.
Until then, save a little Of your
Christmas dough and secure seats
early for the Frank Lozar Post Min
strels.

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Edior on things
Material and Immaterial.

Minnesota can take / lesson fror,
California in its advertising cam
paign. You never hear a Californ-
ian tell about the rains, winds or
earthquakes but he is forever harp
ing on the Gland of perpetual sun
shine" Advertising the greatest
state in the Union-Minnesota-has
been done in a desultory way. We
have the summer climate, absolutely
health giving with real summer days,
fresh and rarifed air for night use
not a sleepless night in season; and
winters that will put St. Moritz and
Lake Geneva in the "also-ran" class.
Winter or summer, Minnesota is the
peer of this grand and glorious U. S.
What we need is a little more unan-
unity of expression about the state.
Let US say, we have the best state in
the Union-and stick to it. Tell the
truth.

Announcement is made thai today
is the last for the Hibbing Daily
News, published by dad" and Marc
Atkinson of Hibbing, not forgetting
Bee" Atkinson, the talented young
lady hereof" In company with
other northern Minnesota newspaper
publishers, we can truthfully say, we
will miss the trenchant pen of dad"
from our midst and sincerely regret
the departure of the Atkinsons-
father, son and daughter-from the
publishing fold of the ranges. R. w.
Hitchcock and Jim Early have
bought the News with all the emolu-
ments thereto pertaining and will
discontinue the News and add its
assets to the Hibbing Daily Tribune,
one of the newsiest and best dailies
in the Northwest. Now that dad"
and Marc are out of the harness for
few weeks, we sincerely hope they
may enjoy themselves to their hearts
content at the beautiful pine (nat-
uraD studded home at Sturgeon
Lake where the latch-string hangs on
the outside and the newspaper boys
of Minnesota are always welcome.
We also hope that now the cares of
a great daily newspaper are remov-
ed from their shoulders, they may
find time to call around little more

the neighboring scribes.
The national debt is about $751;
0OO,0OO,000. The interest on this
amounts to S1,000,000,000 a year.
Every day the American taxpayer is
called upon to 'tdig up" 100000
to meet the payments of $1,000
900 a month of indebtedness, inter-
est and principal. President Cool
idge in speaking of the national
debt said: at is the greatest weak
ness in our line of national defense.
1t is the largest obstacle in the path
of our economic development. 1t
should be retired as fast as possible
under system of reasonable tax
alton" ASK the Minnesota legisla-
tion and they will tell you, "let the
mining companies pay it."
Noting in the records the other
day that one out of every five people
in this great nation of ours was the
owner of an automobile and that
the whole population of the United
States could ride at one time as one
great joy party, it suddenly dawned
on US that we were getting old. The
thought of the first auto in Ely came
to mind. Mart Torinus of the Still
water Torinus Bros, then operating
the st. Croix Lumber Company at
Winton, had an auto, (should be
spelled oughto) name not remember
ed. When Mart started for Ely from
Winton he always ordered a team to
follow. Strange to relat-, this team
of horses was needed. Later, G. L.
Fitzwilliams, an engineer for the
mines, brought Rambler" to Ely.
This Rambler did everything else
but. This was along about 1903. We
had occasion to go down to the Pho
neer mine several days ago and we
noticed % cars parked near the dry
house, besides several in garages.
Out of the total, only two cars were
of the cheaper make. The lesson
was obvious. Years ago, the labor
ers walked to the mine with dinner
bucket in hand. 'oday they ride
in high-powered cars, and in place
of bridges over railroads ETC., the
companies are now forced to build
garages.

Arthur Hawkes. of Toronto in
Sundays Minneapolis Journal had a
fine article in which he proposes that
Canada and the United States unite
in making the Rainy Lake Region an
outdoor museum of exploration and
happy hunting ground for two ma
tions. Mr.. Hawkes. has a fine idea.
His happy hunting ground is good
but why not make it both bunting
ground and a future timber supply
for the woodworking industries and
the mines of Minnesota on the sus-
tanned yield basis plan as outlined
under which the Superior National
Forest is managed? The most good
for the most people is the motto that
should govern.
