covering that one of his dogs was
an egg-stealer, w. P. Pierce, farmer,
decided to kill the animal. But a
few minutes before he was to fire
the shot, a bull attacked him and
threw him to the ground. The con-

Pierce was dragged to safety by
neighbors. Neither will die.

people of Hibbing endorsing our
policies, we would have met with far
greater success. And in view of this
fact we are continuing our campaign
and are anticipating future achieve
ments.
Civic Improvement clubs are in ex-
istence throughout our country ana
while their praises are not sung from
the house-tops, their influence is
readily seen in the affairs of respect
i've communities, and in many ip-
stances their accomplishments for
city betterment have been very pro-
nounced. So / say to you be not dis
couraged, and do not hesitate to
carry on regardless of any criticism
that may be made, because criticism
indicates thought activity and where
there is active thought. your effort
cannot have been total loss. We
should at all times be willing to be
criticized, but never TO be ignored.
And if our policies are sound and
have Keen wisely determined, we
should not hesitate to bring them
forward. I feel that it is next to an
impossibility for anyone from out
side of the community to attempt to
| advise you as to what the nature of
your activities should be in detail.
1t is my belief that your procedure
will become self-evident as you pro-
coed with your activities. But l do
want to leave with you the thought
of serious consideration for the bud
get system and it's possibilities for
correcting present evils in city gov
eminent when properly formed and
carried out.
And also that you should give most
earnest consideration to the separa-
ton of the elected official from ad-
ministrative details. Insist at all
times, on the appointment of effici-
ent, honest and capable men to the
heads of your departments and in
sist that they be vested with the re-
sponsibility and authority that should
rightfully be theirs. Demand that
the elected officials dictate the policy
as endorsed by the majority, to the
appointee and require of him the
successful performance of the policy.
Having taken this stand, am sure
that the Ely Civic Association will
receive the approval and the COM
mendation of the citizenship. Be
free TO commend efficiency and
equally so to condemn inefficiency
and you can rest assured that the
future generations of the people of
Ely will bless the memory of your
efforts for the betterment of your
city.

The Civic Association. It's Scopel.o
Activity and ItheI Necessity Therefor" "

Address given by Mr.. D. v. Gaige
of Hibbing before the Ely Civic As
sociation on April %, 1927. Mr..
Gaige is prominent in labor circles In
Hibbing and last year was chairman
of the Central Labor Union of that
village. He is a member OF the
Hibbing Civic Council and has given
much thought TO the question OF
civic affairs and efficient government.
His remarks are to the point and are
worth the study of every citizen OF
Ely. Mr.. Gaige headed his talk
1.-THE Civic Association and its Scope
of Activity and the Necessity There
for"
Civic Improvement clubs are or
PLANTATIONS of citizens who believe
that the reformer should have a
more definite and tangible policy
than mere honestly. They set aoout
to do some positive work for the
city. The stand for progress prl-
marily,-economy, honesty; and law
enforcement being to them inciden-
tai to efficient municipal service, the
one great purpose of city govern
ment.
These three principles, % uni
versal respect for labor, (2) uni
versal participation in the burdens
and the benefits of government, 90
direct responsibility of the people
for the control of their own public
affairs; are the basis on which the
success of democracy in American
cities depend,-and if democracy
fans here the story of America will
be a closed chapter in the annals of
freedom.
It has become a truism to say
that the modern city is not built OF
bricks and mortar, but of blood and
brains. No matter what the physl-
cal condition of the city may be, OF
what its material assets include, un-
less it contains a high type of clti-
zenship it cannot take and hold Its
place in the van of civic progress,
Honest thinking demands that ou1
opinions and conclusions be formed
only after earnest effort to collect
and understand facts, and test ex,
perience, and to weigh arguments
If the inhabitants of any city
were to- become conscious of the in
terest they have in the municipal
government in the midst of which
they live, civic reform would
straightway strike so deep into the
body polite as to become equivalent
to revolution. If the Divine Hand
could lay upon our blind eyes the
healing clay and quicken our dull
instincts TO an appreciation OF
things as they are, the truth would
set US free. There would no longer
be any question as to fhe worthful-
ness of city life. The nanles Of Am
erican cities would cease t. stand in
the eyes of the world as symbols of
civic shame.
The city is the battle-ground of
democracy. There is no conflict be-
tween democracy and efficiency
There is intense conflict between
democracy and the inefficient positi-
cal machinery it is striving to re-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-05-13

place. The fundamental principle
of democracy is that governmt ntal
policy should be responsive to the
wishes of the people, and therefore
that the officials who determine the
public's policy should be directly &C
countable to the people. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to keep the policy
determining functions and to organ
ize the administrative service on a
basis of individual titness-not oolita-
cal opinion. No government, what
ever its form or kind, has, or has had
an efficient administrative service
without applying these principles.
A sure means of making a city gov
eminent extravagant, wasteful, IN
efficient, and liable to- corruption is
to permit positions in its purely ad-
] ministrative service to be secured or
held for any reason other than hon
esty, efficiency, and the faithful per-
| Torrance Iof official duty.
All will agree that even a business
enterprise must be conducted in &C.
cordance with some policy and that
some one must determine the policy.
If the policy be unwise, the enter
prise will fail, however, honest or
capable its administration; and the
enterprise will equally fail, be its
policy ever so wise, if administration
of the policy is dishonest or incap-
able.
In the business world, the dis
tinction between policy and admins
tration is universally recognized, and
the opinions of the administrative
stag of a business in regard to the
policy of the business are not to be
considered to be any part Of the per
Torrance of the administrative
duties. The policy of the business
is determined by the owner of the
business, or his duly authorized
representatives.
When we speak of the necessity
of applying business principles in
the conduct of city government, we
are altogether right, if we mean
that its policy should be wisely de-
ltermined and when wisely deter
mined should be honestly and effici.
emily administered by men selected
without reference to their opinion
of the policy; but we are altogether
wrong, if we imagine that politics
can be eliminated from the determi.
nation of the policy, for politics are
essential to it's determination.
The primary purpose of city gov.
eminent is to- meet those ever grow.
ing wants of the community life
which are created by the massing OF
the population in a limited area
There must be a policy and an
administration of policy. or the pri-
mary purpose of city government
cannot be accomplished.
These deductions coincide with
those of the best authorities on
municipal government and am sure
that we may accept them as estab-
lished facts. Thus we come to the
field of the civic association, which
is to acquaint the citizenship with
the best forms of public policy, that
they should pursue through the se-
lection of officials who they have

LAND RESALE
BRINGS PROFIT
Much of Property Taken Over
BY Bank of North Dakota
Is Sold

Resale Of most of the land taken
over by the Bank of North Da-
kota has resulted in slight profit,
according to G. r. Green, manager.
Rapidly improving conditions due
to the fine crop in prospect should
result in Il substantial profit accru-
ing from the sale of land still on
hand, he said. Only one of the nu-
merous pieces of land taken over by
the bank, in recent years has been
was occasioned by the fact that the
property in question had been "over-
loaned" in the first place.
In view Of the fact that all land
taken over by the bank is charged
with taxes, court costs and other in:
cidental charges, Green said, this is
proof that loans now are being made
OH sound and careful basis.
AS the old loans are replaced by
new ones which have been completed
in the last few years it will be prac
tically impossible for the bank tt
sustain a loss in any of it's real es
tate loans transactions, Green said
The reason is that the average Of
loans per acre constantly is decreas
ing and at the same time the land i.
increasing in value.
During the last six months the NV
erage loan made by the bank is $8.5(
an acre. For the year 1916 the aver
age was $9.42 an acre, for 1925, 1882
for 1924, $l1.l4; for 1928, $l1.3l; TO
1922, $l2.66. The average Of al
loans made during 1921 and prio
wears was SlAO7.

Solemn Rites
Are Performed
For Physician

Continued from page one)
North Dakota Medical association and
his marked ability gave him rank as
one of the most eminent and cap
able physicians in the state.
Shortly after the organization of
Stark county he was elected super
intendent of schools and for several
years in the early days served his
community in the dual capacity OF
physician and educator. Always an
ardent Republican he took an active
interest in politics and in the coun-
ellis of his party.
DR.. Stickney. at one time, was en-
gagged in stock raising on large
scale and shipped stock from his
ranches in considerable numbers.
Dlring his long residence In Dick
inson he became interested in var
ious enterprises and succeeded in a
large measure. He was associated
with other pioneers Of the commun-
ity in the organization of the First
National bank of Dickinson and for
many years served as vice president
of the institution. At the time Of
MS death ne was chairman of tine
beard of directors of the bank.
Community Builder
Since the first days Of his arrival
in Dickinson he took an active inter-
est in the growth Of the community
and its welfare and gave much Of
his time to it's advancement. He was
active in helping to secure the Dick
inEon State Normal school for this
section of the state and in annrecia-
ton of his efforts along this line
a Lormitory at the school bears his
name.
AS an intimate friend and ardent
