MOTOR AND LIGHT
BILL MODIFIED
SENATOR LOMMEN SECURES
MODIFICATION OF THE BILL
COMPELLING MOTOR BOATS TO
CARRY MUFFLERS AND LIGHTS.

Legislation, which if enacted, would
have greatly hampered navigation on
the lakes in this section of the country
was modified by the prompt action of
Senator Lommen on the recommend
alton of resort owners and others on
northern lakes
Curtailment of canoe trips, particul-
larry in the northernmoSt regions of
the state, would have been a natural
consequence, Senator Lommen asser-
ted of the passage of a bill introduced
by Senator A H. Miller of Wayzata.
The Miller bill, which was supported
by southern and central state lake
residents, provided that all boats used
upon any lakes and streams Of the
state must be equipped with lights of
a specified candle power and if motors
were used that the motors must be
equipped with underwater mufflers
such as would silence the sound Of
their operation
Such additional equipment as would
have been necessary under the Miller
bill would have added so materially
to the weight of the average vacation
canoeist's supplies; Senator Lommen
asserted, that the vacation canoe trips,
now recognized north country insti-
tuition, would be practically prohibited.
In addition to the actual weight of the
equipment Senator Lommen said use
of a muffler as contemplated in the
Miller measure would have neceSSitated
a canoeist who used an cupboard motor
on his craft, carrying along such an
additional supply of fuel that difficult
northern portages would be made al
most Impossible of accomplishment.
Since practically all the demand for
the passage of the Miller bill has come
from the lake residents in southern
counties, where lake property is well
built up and the noise of motor boats
has become a disturbing factor to sum-
mer residents, Senator Lommen last
week forced through an amendment
to the Miller bill exempting all lakes
and streams north of the northern
boundary of township SO, about Is
miles north of Duluth
His amendment, Senator Lommen
said, would permit southern Minnesota
lake residents to have the noise nuis-
ance on their lakes abated, but would
not place obstacles in the way of va
cationists enjoying outboard motor
canoe trips on the lakes and streams
in the virtual wilderness of the north.
Senator Miller accepted Senator
Lommen's amendment to his bill with
out debate. Vigorous opposition did
come to the Lommen amendments,
however, from Senator George H.
Sullivan of Saltwater. In spite of the
objections, however, the Lommen
amendment was adopted, although
final vote on the Miller bill as amended
was postponed until next week.

Bogart had been receiving from a girl
merely described as Pom Pom. A
newspaper ad finally brings girl to
the English inn, where Farrell is on
leave. He assumes it is Pom Pom and
proceeds to fall in love with her, as
she does with him.
In the meantime, things are happen

gence service accuses the girl, played
by Miss Landi, of being spy and

stances seem stacked against both of
them. Farrell is convinced he has
been double-crossed, although he still
loves her

of this bill would make it unlawful to

the lakes are frozen. This proposed
bill would seriously interfere with canoe

Game and Fish department would have
to be secured before entering such a

all duck hunting one half hour before

Last week the proponents of the
county division measure had their inn
ings before the legislature IN an open
hearing. This week the opponents are
doing their stuff before the solons.
What the outcome will be remains to
be seen. As far as Ely is concerned,
We Will have nothing to gain by being
divorced from the southern end of the
county. AS far as losing anything,
this is also out of the question. We
have never had anything handed to
US and expect just that case in division.
What We need here in this section of
the country is more votes and until we
get enough of them to be power we
will get just what we are now getting.
This is the ouinion of the Miner editor.
Those who have contrary opinions can
also express them In order to make
this convenient We guarantee to print
any comments on the subject you care
to make. Sign your name and send
them in. Come out in the open and
express your opinion in print.
AS far as the promises made by d.
vision enthusiasts, we would like to
know how they are to be delivered We
have found in the past that when Ely
wanted anything it was up to Ely to
get it. When Duluth, Virginia and
Hibbing wanted court house we put
IN our share toward it. Wheu Ely
wanted a court house, We built
it ourselves. In case Of division, one

tenances that go with new county
such as county officers. work farm, sani-
tarium, ETC. Last week we heard man
say that taxes would decrease by di-
vision. This is very obvious when it
is considered that to decrease taxes is
to increase expense.

Mr.. Busch. if you and your beer

Granting, for the moment that
your figures are conservative. that re-
legalized beer might pay the Govern
ment $400 100000 in taxes, might pro-

and might consume 100000 tons of

this outstanding question arises:
From what source do you think the

The true answer can be given in
single sentence:
The people would have to pay for

Every dollar of the wages you prof.

come from the people, from the mil

Labor Doak in an address to the local
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer

1T took our loyal Americans long

Doak discussed the danger to the

There are two kinds of paCifism,"
said the Secretary "One is based upon
sincere desire for peace, but only
peace with honor. The other is based
upon the pernicious assumption that
nothing is worth defending if defending

Sires it at the expense of the country's
