REFUSE TO
BE CLERKS
Range Commissioners Issue
Statement In Answer to
Demand.

Recently the grand jury issued a
recommend that the board of county
commissioners comply to the state law
in reference to the administration of
highway matters which would remove
such matters from the hands of the
commissioners.
The matter was put to vote and lost
four to three, the commissioners having
produced the opinion of the ATTORNEY
General to show that they were COM
plying with the law The Duluth press
took them to task for their attitude.
The opposing commissioners declare
the facts relative to the state law have
been distorted as was the opinion
handed down by the Attorney General
which declared that county commits
sioners as individuals have no authority
to hire or fire men engaged in county
highway work"
After denying that they had acted
individually in carrying on the road
work of the county, the commissioners
made the assertion that they were con-
WINGED of the legality of all their ac-
tons, a statement was presented as to
these facts. Further the commissioners
closed their statement with the follow
ing signed by Commissioners Asmund
A ABBY, Jacob l. Pete and Stuart
Murray:
We issue this statement as an ad-
vance notice that we shall absolutely
refuse to enter into any agreement
whereby the Office of county commits
sioner viii be reduced to the mere rank
of clerk No group, or any individual
who speaks in the name Of such, will
induce us by misleading publicity, by
distorted facts or by other means. to
give up the rights and responsibilities
placed upon US by the laws Of this state.
I'VE have thorough understanding
of the duties of the engineer and we
viii consider. in the future as we have
IN the past. any suggestions presented
by him pertaining to surveys, estimates,
plans, specifications and execution of
work, and if there is merit in his sug-
gestions, we viii gladly accept them
However, We do not nor do we intend
TO hire him as dictator, but simply as
an executive of the board The board
Of county commissioners has no power
TO delegate its duties and responsibilities
either 70 an engineer or to an individual
commissioner. We shall absolutely in
sist on the carrying out of the law In
its truest and fullest Interpretation and
under no circumstances win We betray
the confidence of the people Of the
county for the benefit Of few"

BASKETBALL
EASY WIN
Junior College Boys Play Hob
With Itasca Ball Tossers
Saturday.

After Itasca had taken Hibbing into
camp on a fair margin and Hfbbing
having beaten Ely, those who attended
the basketball game here Saturday
evening between the Itasca Junior Col
lege team of Coleraine and the Ely
j. c. team. somewhat expected to see
the invaders romp of with the honors.
Only a few minutes of play sufnced
to put the audience at their ease as
from the tip-of to the final whistle
the Itasca boys had no show Of winning.
Ely took ten to two lead in the first
quarter and in every other quarter con-
tinued to pile up scores on their op-
ponents- The score stood 80 to Il at
the end
Features of the game was the ease
by which Ely made baskets and the
large number of fouls called on both
sdes. Another feature was the stall
ing" of the Ely team in the last quarter.
This feature of an otherwise we'll
played contest was not the most ap-
preciative part of the game to the
audience which voiced its displeasure
py poolng ana callS 20 play ball.
The Itasca boys were so far in the
rear in this quarter that they failed to
carry the battle to the Ely team and
the sonombulistic attitude of the Ely
players also affected the invaders.
During the last few minutes of play,
bunch of substitutes were sent in
and even with the injection of this new
blood onto the floor the teams con-
tinued to sleep peacefully on The
band was present and played several
fine and soul stirring numbers.
The Ely High School team played
at Tower Friday and returned winner
by score of II to 8. Those who at
tended say the game was well played
throughout and that the spectators
were pleased with the showing made.

Twenty-Five men who had
been arrested for reckless
driving or driving while drunk
were given an object lesson in
Judge Padden's court in Chi
cago. Children who had been
crippled by automobiles were
paraded before the offenders
as an object lesson. The judge
said this would be a part of
his educational scheme to make
the streets safer and in adj
dition the pictures of those
hailed into court would be
printed by the newspapers.
Such an object lesson should
appeal to the most callous but
more drastic measures must be
used towards the drunken
driver. The time to get this
fellow is before he gets into
his car and not after the
damage is done.

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

In another place in this
paper will be found a pro-
clamation by Governor Olson
designating next week as "Po-
tato Week" This is a move
in the proper direction as it is
not generally known outside of
the state that Minnesota po-
tatoes and especially those of
the Arrowhead Country are
superior to those grown any
where. The grading, sacking,
boxing and advertising move
ment now on will assure for
this product a steady market
at a price commensurate with
the excellence of the product.

After investigating the state
ment that certain creamery
was Communistic, the school
board of Virginia decided to
purchase their milk supplies
from other sources. The cream
cry at once took up the chal-
lenge and in a three column
ad in the Virginia Enterprise of
Monday stated their position.
The board in withholding their
patronage from the creamery
stated that your ideals are
conflicting with our institu-
ton" This was fatty denied
in the fore part of the ad and
then went on to show the bene-
fits the Communists were con-
ferring on the world by their
teachings and by being leaders
in the struggle against capital
ism" 1t accused the board of
aligning themselves on the side
of bosses against the work
ers." The board also was &C.
cused of acting contrary to
the principles of the Constitu-
ton"
Constitution" only appears
in the lexicon of Communists
when they are down. At all
other times it is '.only a scrap
of paper" For their benefit
we will only say that the free
government of America is
based on the Constitutions
document, and in fact the only
one outside the Bible which
has withstood the onslaught
Of time and the onslaught of
Communistic teachings. To
openly flaunt and tear to shat
tiers these documents is a trait
of the organization in this
country. To hide behind them
is also a trait of the Communist
when he gets into trouble.
The editor of the Miner has
been a target for the Com
munist literature (surceptiti-
ously circulated and fathered
by no one) for some time. 1t
pleases US to know that the
school board of Virginia had
gumption enough to hurl their
un-American principles back
into the faces of the "All-
powerful" Soviet of First Street
in their own city. This will
give the imported organizers
and dues-collectors something
to talk about besides ranting
and raving at the Red Cross,
industrial Organizations, the
churches, American Legion,
and other American institu-
tons.
