MARRIAGE
LICENSES
No Licenses Will be Issued in
This City After December
81, of this Year.

At the last session of the County
Commissioners resolution was adopted
disseminating the issuance of marriage
licenses in all the range towns with the
exception of Virginia and Hibbing.
After that date it will be found
necessary for those contemplating mar
riage Ito go to either Virginia, Hibbing
or Duluth for their licenses. This will
occasion some hardship especially since
it is necessary to make application for a
marriage license five days in advance.
The resolution passed by the board
reads as follows:
WHEREAS, In the judgment of this
Board it will be in the public interest to
reduce the number of agents or clerks
authorized to issue marriage licenses on
behalf of the Clerk of the District Court
of ST. Louis County, except at the offices
of said Clerk situated in Duluth, Hib-
bling and Virginia;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RE-
SOLVED, That the Clerk of the Dis
trict Court is hereby requested, effective
at the close of the year 1882, to dis
continue all agents or deputy clerks
now authorized to issue marriage il
censes in st. Louis County, except his
deputies or clerks located in his Office
at Duluth at Hibbing and at Virginia,
and to eliminate all such agents or
clerks or deputies until the further
order of this Board.

Protection Of investment, which has
been the object of every individual and
every business and industrial enterprise
in the country for the past three years,
is equally an imperative policy as it
relates to public investments. And it
applies nowhere with greater emphasis
than to money spent upon streets and
highways.
The opinion is voiced by Jacob L.
Pete, county commissioner, who warns
that any unreasonable curtailment of
road upkeep, or maintenance, funds at
present cannot fail to prove an ex-
ltremely false economy in the long run.
"Tax reduction" says Mr.. Pete, is a
legitimate demand under many circum-
stances. When the individual is forced
to modify his personal standard of
living and expenditure, he naturally
is unwilling to support any government,
county, state or federal, on the same
grand scale that might exist in times
of boundless prosperity. No holder of
public office is justified in expecting
anything else.
Yet, any official is faithless to the
trust imposed in him if he does not
oppose economies that are bound 10 be
ruinous and vastly more expensive than
the temporary saving they affect. That
is why. county highway officials in all
parts of the country, regardless OF
political afiiliation, are pointing out the
stark truth that roads not adequately

State Road Employment
Up in September,

Nearly 800 more men were employed
in state trunk highway work in Sept
ember than in August, according to the
compilation of reports by the state
highway department.
Contractors employed total of 1924
while the state directly employed 4,634;
making total of 1883.
October reports are as yet incom-
plete but are expected to show the num-
Der of men employed to have been well
up to the September figure. November
employment is expected to show de-
crease, although a good number are
still employed on bridge construction
and will be probably through the entire
winter.
Regular maintenance work, and clear
ing the drifts piled up by the recent
storms in the western and southwestern
part of the state, have kept a consider
able number at work so far in Novem-
Der, the bulletin reports.

Regardless of what retrenchments
they have had to make in respect to
new highway construction, Federal and
State highway officials everywhere have
fought unremittingly against the men

ever it has appeared" Mr.. Pete de-
clares. This attitude should leave the
public in no doubt that these foremost
authorities on highways rank road up
keep among indispensable public ex-
penditures, he believes.
Even the most highly improved road
is subject TO deterioration without regu-
lar upkeep attention" says Mr.. Pete.
"One of the most forceful evidences of
this truth is to be found in that pro-
vision of the Federal-Aid highway law
which authorizes the United States
Bureau of Public Roads to take over
the maintenance of any part of the
system under States jurisdiction when
the latter agency cannot or will not
protect the joint investment by proper
upkeep. There is a vital lesson in that
for everyone who benefits by highway
transportation. That includes all of us.

taxes but let us be sure curtailments
are the wiseSt. not the most costly, that
can be conceived. Improper mainEen-

CITIES LEAGUE
ASKS CHANGES
6 Measures to be Presented at
the Next Session of the
Legislature.

Preparation of six bills to be pre-
sented to the 1888 legislature for pur-
poses of altering public utilities and
taxation laws within both state and
municipality jurisdiction has been
undertaken by the League of Minnesota
Municipalities, the organization an
nounced.
The bills will be given final approval
at the leagues legislative conference in
January. AS outlined by Ambrose
Fuller, league staff member, the bills
are:
l. Changing the distribution of the
receipts from the state gasoline tax
This would provide that one-third OF
the revenue be kept in the state high
way fund, one-third given to county
roads, and one-third be distributed
among townships on the basis of popu-
lation. This bill may require a con-
stitutional amendment.
2. A bill permitting municipal gen.
Grating plants Ito sell energy outside
their municipal boundaries Now these
plants are permitted to sell their sur
plus under a law which Fuller des-
cribed as underlined"
3. An enabling act alloting cities and
villages to finance recreation activities
with the cooperation of the schools
State laws now do not permit school
boards to carry on physical education
programs for any but school pupils
hi WIZ nh ,x,iI1
financing and maintenance of sewage
disposal plants by rental charges on
services obtained by users. The sewer
charge would be similar to the charge
made from the use of water systems
Where pipeline systems provide the
sewage disposal, this suggested law
would not have effect but only where
the system is one of operating a dis
posal plant. This bill is projected on
grounds that it would relieve the tax
burden by paying for the use of sew
age systems on service charge basis
5. Adoption of plumbing, electricity
and sanitation codes for the admins
tration of buildings.
6. A bill permitting the destruction
of old Office records and documents
which pile up in the files and become
nuisances. There is no state law which
permits old documents which are nc
longer of any value to be disposed Of
The league also contemplates bill
providing for the licensing of solicitors
and canvassers. Members of the legis-
lative committee said that, while NUM-
peddlers and transient" dealers, they
have no means of control over solicitors
and canvassers and cannot exact IL
censes from them.

Permits to Retain
Game Necessary.

Minnesota residents should bear
in mind the legal dates for re-
tanning game in their possession.
Many violations occur each year
because of infrigements covering
this phase of hunting operations.
1t should be remembered that
game may not be retained more
than five days after the close Of
the season unless tagged by a
game warden.
Deer may be kept under a per-
NIT until February %, migratory
waterfowl under a permit until
December 10, and upland game
birds under a permit until Janu-
airy 10.

Some Thoughts On
Game Conservation

Our people must learn the lesson of
conservation says George H. Bradley,
versatile ST. Paul newspaper reporter
and feature writer He has some
original thoughts on conservation and
is of the opinion that this important
subject is being given more attention
at the present time than ever before
in the history Of the state. Mr. Brad
ley packs real wallop in each of the
following conservation jabs:
Conservation is the art of providing
to MinneSota's residents and visitors
the fullest possible use for recreational
and sports purposes of the states re-
sources in forests, streams, fields and
lakes, including their filmed, furred and
feathered inhabitants, commensurate
with their reasonable protection for
future generations.
Every Minnesota resident is the
owner of every bird. beast and fish in
the state. BY our common consent, as
voiced by the legislature, we have
agreed that we will catch only as many
fish, shoot as many ducks, etc. But
they are ours, just the same
When you know of a man dyna-
hitting fish in lake he's robbing you.
IF an illegal seine is set, it will snare
your fish.
Shooting over the legal limit of
ducks is pilfering your sons future
hunting grounds.
so you see, whether you like it or
not, conservation is pretty much bound
up with very citizen.
eff you catch a man looting your
home you call a policeman. You're
indignant and demand his prosecution.
But let man net a ton of fish from
one of your lakes and the crime draws
but passing interest and no aeion.
"It is not necessary to set up crowd
of shoppers, prying into everybodys
business. Far from it. But it is i'm
perative that as far as possible every
man, woman and child cooperate in
perpetuating our supply of game and
fish.
"For conservation is everybody's job. -
