WEEKS RULE
Old Timers Recall Antics by

The Thermometers have been sorely
pressed the past week to furnish figures
below the zero mark to register the
temperature.
Not since the early days of this Sec
ton has the mercury descended to such
depths as marked the past week. jan
uary was fairly decent month with the
mercury behaving itself February has
been corker so far.
Forty below in the city was not un-
common during the past week and in
the lake sections north Of here, 48 and
so below was registered. Saturday,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday were unusual days inasmucn as
below zero temperatures prevailed both
day and night.
Ely and the ranges were not
alone in this as the extreme cold wave
extended along the northern states from
Idaho to the Atlantic and even took
in the more southern states of New
Mexico and Indiana.
And with all this cold weather, winter
sports programs were given IN several

Veteran j. G.. Armson of the
State Tax Commission fired a
parting shot before leaving
office in favor of Harry E.
Boyle of Duluth which will not
set so we'll with the county
division boosters. Mr.. Arm
son stated that "a large saving
to the taxpayers of the state
could be effected by reducing
Minnesota's 81 counties to so
or possibly 40" This state
ment was made to Governor
Olson and the state legisla-
ture in the annual report of the
tax group" With the coming
of the telephone and rural mail
delivery, the development of
the highway system, the neces-
sity for a county of small area
no longer exists" said Mr..
Armson.

County division sentiment in
this legislative session is not so
pronounced say those who at
tended the hearing in St. Paul
last week. Two years ago
there was considerable en-
thusiasm for the measure and
it is doubtful if the bill to put
a division ballot before the
people will ever come out of
committee. Sometimes, we
have almost wished that the
bill would be reported out and
carried to the people who have
proven themselves wise and
far-seeing in their voting and
would put a stop to this BIZ
ennial foolishness used by some
proponents to trade for meas
ures in which they are more
interested. Under present con-
ditions when consolidation of
counties is being talked of to
save expenses, it does seem
queer that the issue is being
kept alive if not for the pur-
pose of trading.
