At first glance the quota
assigned to Ely in the drive for
funds for the Arrowhead
Association seems large as
compared to the quota assigned
to some other places. How
ever, the directors of the Ely
Commercial Club which has
heretofore furnished the Ely
quota, feel that they have re-
ceived value for their contribu-
ton. In past years the Arrow
head Association has borne a
share of the expenses neces-
sary in putting on the exhibit
at the Chicago Outdoor Show
by the Ely Commercial Club
in return for the liberal quota
which has always been paid.
The Arrowhead Association
is one organization which has
delivered value for every cent
collected in its territory. ar
rowhead" is beginning to be-
come a big factor in outing
circles and the several divisions
encompassed in the organiza-
ton are getting in on the pub
licity and popularity by reason
of this title. The latest move
to popularize Arrowhead po-
tatoes is meeting with the
greatest success and our out
ing facilities as well as our
potatoes are becoming rapidly
nationally known and much
sought after. Ely is not a
small part of this great
country. We have everything
here the heart of the tourist
could desire in the shape of
outing facilities, fish and game.
With Arrowhead potatoes, but
ter and eggs; nationally known
wood products from Cloquet;
the best and largest iron mines !;
first class summer resorts; the
Superior National Forest; the
finest climate and the best
people, why shouldn't we be
proud of our Arrowhead
Country?

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts py the Editor
on things Material and ImmateriaI

The proposition of Senator
Marshall of Minneapolis that
the legislature be cut in half
does not sound as bad as it
looks to the legislature now in.
In his proposal he states that
the state would be saved be-
tween 100000 and S250,00O
each biennial session in sal
aries besides a multitude of
smaller expenditures. The last
session of the law-making
body cost the state S420, 557.
There are people in the state
who feel that even the cut in
half would not accomplish a
saving and that those serving
would find some manner of
spending the savings. There
are also some who profess to
believe that sessions of the
legislature could be abolished
for a number of years and the
making of the laws curtailed
until such time as commission
could codify the more vital
ones by the scrapping of
amendments upon amend
ments. 1t is felt that it is an
impossibility to keep track of
all the laws governing the or
binary mortal from the cradle
to the grave and that on this
account we are all criminals
and don't know it.
Senator Marshall in champi-
oning his measure to cut the
legislature to half size, makes
the statement that a Iegisla-
ture of 200 would be no diff
ferent from a legislature of
100 as in every lawmaking
body there are comparatively
few who do the work and the
balance just vote. He then
goes on to suggest that the
salaries of the remaining sena-
tors and representatives be
raised from $1,000 to $1,000
for each session. The sugges-
ton on the part of Senator
Marshall will probably be
hailed with enthusiasm by
those whose representation is
to be abolished?
