,On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial

The expected will be a reality before
we know it. The large deficit in the
poStoffice department has caused Off
Gals to consider and press the pos
Sibility of raising the first-claSS post
age from 2 TO 212 cents per ounce.
The postmaster general believes that
this will take the department out of
the red. These deficiencies are always
discovered along about campaign years
wherein Senators and Congressman
are to be chosen. Assistant Post
master General Tilton, says he sees
no other way out than by raising the
letter postage and asks congress or
the public to point out some other
remedy.
We have been of the opinion for
some time that the thousands of bags
of franked campaign literature in the
shape of talks delivered to the Con-
gressienal Record, (mostly private
campaign materially should be paid for
and the printing and delivery of gov
eminent stamped envelopes, at less
than the cost of the blank envelopes
furnished to printers, be discontinued.
During the month before the primaries,
it was noted that the mail carriers in
Ely was weighed down with hundreds
OF pounds of franked campaign ad-
dresses in Congressional Record pages
sent out by senators and congressman.
Had these been paid for at regular
rates, Ely alone would have made up
some of the deficit.
Multiply the Ely free dope by the
dope disseminated by the other 10000
postoffices in the United States and
you have by far the larger part of the
deficit licked. Add thereto the trans
portation cost of the government
printed envelopes and you have
another slice taken from the deficit.
Then make the cat house pay postage
on parcels to the home of the receipt
emf and not to his postoffice city, and
from where the rural carrier takes it
sometimes Is miles into the country,
free of charge. All of this helps the
deficit AS final recommendation, we
suggest that the poStoffice department
be conducted the same as other pri-
vate business is conducted and that
senators, congressman and other Off
Gals be charged with postage the same
as Tom, Dick and Harry has to pay.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-07-18

Upon request from several range
residents, County Superintendent of
Schools G. H. Barnes, has sent us some
figures which will prove of interest.
Mr.. Barnes states that he has checked
up ON last years teaching corps in the
rural schools and finds that out of
243 teachers employed by the county
in unorganiZed districts, 144 were from
the range towns, SO from Duluth, SO
from Proctor, F1oodwood, Meadow
lands and other rural portions of the
county and 81 from outside of the
county, these latter being teachers in
the High School departments There
are 18 range girls teaching in the or
gained common school district 10
Gated mostly in the southern portion
of the county which raises the total
to 1872 teachers from the range
against 81 from Duluth and nearby.
$3.50
We are printing this as news item
and not as political propaganda on
behalf of Mr.. Barnes. There are many
who contend that the county superin-
tendent of schools who only functions
outside of Duluth should have his of
fees on the range. The state law here
steps in and specifically states that
this office must be located in the
county seat. Either the law in this
matter must be revamped or the county
seat must be changed to one of the
range towns. Some of the range
people have become somewhat wrathy
over just such conditions and propose
to remedy the same with county di-
vision. From this end, the Miner can
not exactly see what benefit such a
move would be to lily We would
again be at one end and the situation
would be dominated by Virginia or
Hibbing, one of which cities would be
the county seat in case of a division.
This is why the Miner is opposing
county division. Besides, the addition
al expense of maintenance and estab-
liShment of new county would start
most unholy row in which the two
twins, Virginia Eveleth and Hibbing-
Chisholm, would be arrayed in deadly
combat with each other and each in
war with the balance of the towns
in the new county over the location of
the county seat. We would withdraw
our opposition to county division pro-
viding the county seat is placed in
the center of the new county-for in
stance between Tower and Soudan
where the center stakes would just
about be located.

Photographer has it that a billiard
championship for women was recently
held in England and that the dexterity
with which the players found the
pockets was the subject of gloomy adj
miration by all the husbands present.

The Communists met in Duluth Sun
day and complicated the work of the
election judges by nominating ticket
to be voted on at the November
election. Walter Harju of Duluth was
placed in nomination for Congress to
oppose Bill" Pittenger The meeting
endorsed a candidate for U. S. Senator;
Governor; Lieutenant Governor; Sec
rotary of State; Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner; Congressman in
the Third and Tenth Districts. The
speakers at the convention took a poke
at the political parties and particularly
at the Farmer-Labor party which they
designated as servitors to capitalism.
1850
Right on the heels of this conven-
ton the mining towns were flooded
with circulars calling on the miners
to organize to fight threatened cut
in wages. AS an excuse for iron mining
propaganda, the circular explains that
a cut is made in the copper properties
of Michigan and infers that the same
will be the case in the iron mining
district.
AS a remedy, organization with the
payment of dues is suggested. The
miners of the Mesaba and Vermilion
ranges few years ago listened to
this kind of salve and the result was
that for some time no wages what
ever were paid by the companies and
the miners lived on what they could
get from the local merchant on credit.
The strike weapon was used and while
the members were without jobs, the
presidents and the secretaries of the
organizations waxed fat and Saucy
with dues collected AS soon as the
strikes were settled and the men went

Kenwood is not as rugged as
some of the other courses around
Washington but it is proving pop

fought on a strict percentage
basis in all the years Of boxing's
history.
The date will be June 12; the
place, the Yankee Stadium; the
beneficiary, the local milk fund,
and the principals. Jack sharkey
Of Boston, and Max Schmeling, OF
Germany. Neither Of the latter
will be guaranteed the change
out of q pale, thin dime.
They will swing on the gate"
as the saying is, each receiving
IS per cent Of the receipts. and
they thus earn the distinction Of
being the first air Of contenders
Ia q heaVyweiGlat title fight who
have been willing to gamble with
the proposition known as per-
sonal appeal.
Sharkey, indeed, accepted
cut from 2713 to rs per cent
without demUr. He had been
told that the boxing commits
sion didn't favor the larger
figure and he promptly made
not the SIightest difficulty
about the matter.
The fact is that both Sharkey
end Schmeling are so certain that
they can beat each other that It
might be possible to get them
there for $1.25 and, expenses.
They are. impressed only with the
fact that the heavyweight cham
pionship will ride with the deci-
sion and the action of the New
York authorities is expected to
take care of that today.
Schmeling will be notified i'm
nediately and will leave for
America within a matter OF a
week or ten days. Sharkey, mean.

Wood said:
"n / were President 1 wouldn't

"We will soon be spending q

been made to increase veterans
benefits, but the Johnson bin
goes far beyond the amount
