MINNESOTA FIELD HOUSE
ONE OF COUNTRY'S FINEST.

One of the largest buildings in
the state of Minnesota, the new
Field House at the University Of
Minnesota, has been constructed
without a cent of tax money being
used for the structure, which cost
$65O,000. Two hundred thousand
dollars of the total came from sur
plus athletic earnings In recent
years, in other words, football. The
remainder was raised when the Uni
versity succeeded in selling $780,
600 in certificates of indebtedness
secured only by the athletic earning
RIVER Of the institution. Neither
the states credit nor the universitys
property was pledged. Most re-
markable about this financing is the
fact that the board Of regents re-
tired $4,000 of the bond issue
even before the building was fin
ished. This is believed TO be a re-
cord in cases of the sort.
The Field House provides indoor
space larger than football field
and assures that Minnesota baseball,
track and footballs teams may start
their spring practice as early as
other universities, further south, are
able to. 1t also provides perma-
nent playing and practice floor for
the Minnesota basketball team. Min
nesota is now as well equipped for
basketball as any other Institution
in the United States.
The building is a mammoth one,
446 feet long, 236 feet wide, 81
feet high at the caves, and LOT feet
at the ridgepole. It lies between
University avenue and Fourth street
8 E, across the street from the
Memorial Stadium. A tunnel con-
meets it with the locker and shower
rooms of the Stadium, where the
athletes will dress until similar ia
cilities are prepared in the Field
House. The Basketball floor Is sur

BUSY LITTLE COFFIN NAIL.
Smoke up!
We are certainly doing it.

We are certainly doing it.
Internal revenue figures show that
the country has the cigarette habit
in earnest. In the calendar year
1927 the federal treasury received
nearly $S00,000,0O0 in taxes from
the cigarettes alone, the exact flg-
ures being $291.620,773. This is a
gain of some $685. 100000 over the
previous year. Compared to the
cigarette, the cigar is but a humble
&C ntributor to the national income,
turning in only $23,644, 900, a de-
crease of $4,500,00O. which Is ex-
planned by the reduction in the 1925
cicar tax rate.
The total revenue from tobacco
in 1927, 1887, 100000, is almost
equal to the 1896, 000,O which was
the total revenue of the govern
ment from all sources. in 1870. and
is greater than the customs receipts
in any year up to 1928. The 1927
receipts from the cigarette alone ex-
ceeded the total tariff receipts in
1908 and was also greater than the
entire internal revenue receipts OF
that year, including tax on liquor.
The Importance of the cigarette
habit to the federal treasury is thus
manifest. The cigarette tax is prob
ably as lightly borne by the ultimate
taxpayer as any tax levy of COM
parable dimensions. 1t affords an
illustration Of the degree to which
an easy sales tax may produce big
results.-Hibbing Tribune.

WHERE THE NORTH BEGINS.

You tell me you're a stranger
From lands that lie afar,
You ask me where the North begins
And what its boundaries are.
The North is not an area,
It's not a piece of land;
The North's a spirit and life,
Which you must understand.
Up where the handclasp's stronger,
Far from the. city's din,
Up where the smiles lasts longer:
That's where the North begins.
Up where the sun shines brighter
Where worries easily end,
Up where the snow lies whittier,
You're in the North, my friend.
Where every mans fighter,
And no one quits the game,
Where -she bond Of friendships
tighter,
And honor's more than fame.
Where you feel the fresh wind
blowing
Q From pine woods clean and pure,
Where you find the trout streams
flowing.
You're in the North for sure.
Where fewer hearts are aching,
And fewer men walk broke,
Where the worlds still in the max
ing
And all hearts carry hope.
Where fellows don't mind giving,
And we ask not creed or name,
Where the fun of life is living,
For life is worth the game.
Have you left the camp at daylight,
AS dawn was breaking forth,
Carried back your deer at twilight?
Then you've really known the
North. ~
Have you smelled the bacon frying,
By streams where the big trout
swims,
Made friends without half-trying?
That's where the North begins.
For the North is not a country,
Measured by terms of land,
The real North is a spirit,
Which you must understand.

providing for an allotment of $25
per capita for the Chippewa Indians
of Minnesota. An attempt was made
by several representative from the
northern part of Minnesota to raise
the amount to $10O, but the Com
mittee refused to increase the ap-
preparation.
Senator King, of Utah, has offered
resolution calling for an investi-
cation of Indian affairs, and partic-
ularly the management of them by
the Federal Bureau of Indian At
fairs, to which the Senate, without a
dissenting vote, has agreed. The
objective of this investigation is a
complete reconstruction of the man
agement of the Indians and their
property and education.
The Army Appropriation bill has
been before the House for the en-
tire week. On February 9th, the
House adopted an amendment to the
bill to increase from $50,000,000 to
$55, 100000 the lump sum approp-
ration for river and harbor i'm
provements, the increase to be ap-
piled to development of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi Rivers.
An attempt was made, which was
defeated by vote of 103 to II, to
attach a rider to the Army Bill to
prohibit the use f Army transpor-
tation appropriations for sending
troops to any foreign country with
out specific consent of Congress. 1t
was argued that if the practice were
continued, a state of war could be
created without consent of Cong
ress, which under the Constitution is
necessary. In opposition to the
amendment, it was contended that it
was subject that should be con-
sidered carefully and not passed
upon when brought up as rider to
an appropriation bill.
Senator LaFollette's resolution
declaring against more than two
terms for a president, and commend
ing President Coolidge for cob
servance of this precedent" has
been the subject of debate in the
Senate for the past two days. SEN
ator LaFollette says he has offered
the resolution because powerful
factors in the Republican party are
launching a movement to draft"
President Coolidge for another term.
The right of Representative Beck,
Republican, Pennsylvania, to re-
tain his seat in the House was up
held by the elections committee by
vote of 6 to 8. 1t had been charg-
ed that Beck was not legal resi-
dent of the district in Philadelphia
which elected him. The report will
not be submitted to the House for
several days.

More Jobs and More Wages

On any calculation our exports
have increased by over one billion
dollars during the past seven years.
This is an increase of Al per cent
since 1922 and an increase of So per
cent over pre-war.
1t is no accident which has
brought about this unique situation
in the United States. 1t is not
chance that has brought this added
employment for American workmen,
and added markets for American
farmers. Things like that don't
happen.
More than two million families in
the United States earn their living
today producing goods for export,
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1928-10-18
that we've got!
Prosperity didn't "just happen"
AS shown by Herbert Hoover's statements:

and another million families earn
their living in the manufacture of
raw materials which we import in
exchange for our exports. This in
crease in exports has brought liy-
ing to 100000 families. This means
more than statistics. 1t means higher
standards Of living-more jobs make
more wages. Foreign trade is no
artificial stimulant to employment.
Its development is a vital contribu-
ton to the welfare of the American
workman and the American mer-
chant and the American farmer. I
propose that we shall continue this
service to our people.
Ne10ark Speech, September H. 1928.
Cooperation Promised
I have already stated the position
of the Republican Party in positive
support of free collective bargaining.
I have stated that it is necessary to
impose restrictions on the excessive
use of injunctions. 1t is my desire
and the desire of every good citizen
to ameliorate the cause of industrial
conflict, to build toward that true
cooperation which must be the foun-
dation Of common action for the
common welfare. The first requisite
to less conflict is full employment.
BY full employment we are steadily
reducing conflict and loss.
NelUarb Speech, September II, 1928
One Of the oldest and perhaps the
noblest of human aspirations has
been the abolition of poverty. By
poverty I mean the grinding of I'M
REIMBURSEMENT, cold, and ignorance
and fear of old age of those who
have the will to work. We in Amer
lea today are nearer to the final tri-
umph over poverty than ever before
in the history Of any land. The poor
house is vanishing from. among us.
we nave not yet reached the goal
but given a chance to go forward
with the policies of the last eight
years, and we shall soon with the
help of God be in sight Of the day
when poverty will be banished from
this nation. There is no guarantee
against poverty equal to job for
every man. That is the primary
purpose of the economic policies we
advocate. G
sHaving earned my living with
my own hands, l can not have other
than the greatest sympathy with the
aspirations of those who toll. 1t has
been my good fortune during the
past IL years to have received the
cooperation Of Labor in many direc-
tions and in the promotion of many
public purposes.

Avoid Disaster

AT such time as this a change in
national policies involves not = as
some may lightly think - only a
choice between different roads by
either of which we may go forward,
but question also as to whether we
may not be taking the wrong road
and moving backward. The measure
of our national prosperity, of our
stability, of our hope of future pro-
gress at this time is the measure of
what we may risk through change
in present policies. More than once
in our national history change in
policies in a time of advancement
has been quickly f,iii by turn
toward disaster. 6 :

Every man has right to ask of
us whether the United States is
better place for him, his wife and
his children to live in, because the
Republican Party has conducted the
government for nearly eight years.
Every woman has a right to ask
whether her life, her home, her mans
job, her hopes, her happiness, will be
better assured by the continuance of
the Republican Party in power.
acceptance Speech. August II, 1928.
Higher Wages
&, !. the average of real wages
is higher today than ever before.
And the arduous hours of labor have
decreased. We can easily prove
this. As a standard of comparison,
let us take the purchasing power
of wages in 1918 or before the war.
In purchasing power we consider
both the dollars and the cost of liv-
ing. Taking this standard we shall
find that real wages at the height Of
the war imitation were about 30 per
cent over 1913. Despite the great
after-war slump they have risen I'M
til today they are over so per cent
greater than before the war. Viewed
in another way, while the cost Of
living today is about so points on
the index above pre-war, wages are
127 above. Parallel with this in
crease in real wages the average
hours of labor have steadily de-
creased.
Moreover, our real wages and our
standards of living are the highest
in the world. And | am again speak
ing of the real buying power of
wages. Ne,ua,l, Speech, September ". 1925
High Standard of Living
Our workers with their average
weekly wages can today buy two and
often three times more bread and
butter than any wage Garner Of
Europe. At one time we demanded
for our workers full dinner pail"
We have now gone far beyond that
conception. Today we demand
larger comfort and greater partici-
patton in life and leisure.
Most of all, / like to remember
what this progress has meant to
Americas children. The portal of
their opportunity has been ever
widening. While our population has
grown but per cent we have in
creased by II per cent the number
of children in our grade schools, by
&c per cent the number in our high
schools, and by 70 per cent the num-
Der in our institutions of higher
learning.
