On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

We hear a lot about baloney
these days and especially since
Al Smith used this expression
in characterizing President
Roosevelt's money problem.
Now comes a photographer
and states that baloney is a
purely slang word and that the
proper word is bologna, pro-
nounced bo-long'-ya and not
baloney. With this weighty
subject settled, let us get busy
and pay a little attention to the
money question, the subject
that. caused various professors
to go nuts on the pronunciation
of the word to the exclusion of
the real matter at hand.

Buy Christmas Seals

Christmas seals. The campaign Is
sponsored by the ST. Louis County Pub
lie Health Association with DR.. over
Parker as Christmas Seal Campaign
director for Ely DR.. Parker points out
that tuberculosis, a preventable and
durable disease, claims three Minnesota
citizens every "a hours. Vet dt can be
controlled by Mantoux testing, X-ray
examinations and early treatment. An
appeal is made to include contribu-
ton to this work as one of the Just
and most important Christmas gifts.
President Endorses Sale
President Roosevelt, indorsing the an
nual sale of Christmas seals to aid the
fight against tuberculosis, declared pub
lie health work part of the national
recovery program.
The statement, made public at the
White House, follows:
Protection of public health long has
been one of the fundamental respon-
sibilities of the government and in the
period OF adjustment through which we
are now passing, that responsibility has
increased. In the scheme of recovery
organizations which devote themselves
to public health work are serving the
government by supplementing the &C
tivities of its established health de-
partmentS
'The sale of Christmas seals opened
on Thanksgiving day. They will be sold
by 1000 affiliated tuberculosis associ-
atoms throughout the country. With
the proceeds derived from this sale,
these associations finance their pro-
grams of clinics, nursing, education, re-
Mobilization and research.
II heartily recommend that we con-
tinue our support of these activities
through the purchase of Christmas
seals"

for the issue of bonds and 1924 against.
A surprising upset in the balloting
was the vote against the adoption of
the new City Charter. This proposition
was voted down in February of this
year and it was the confident belief Of
the commission that the charter as
amended to meet with some Of the
February objections, would carry. The
proposition was lost by 256 votes at
this time. 1881 votes were cast for its
adoption and 1912 against. The pro-
position required 1887 votes in its favor
to carry.
The voting on all the candidates and
the two propositions showed study on
the part of the voter and the results
so overwhelmingly in favor of the
ticket and against the bond and charter
propositions indicated that the voters
knew what they were doing.
The men elected to the Aldermanic
seats are too well known to need any
introduction as their vote clearly in
dicated. Mr.. zgonc Is valuable en-
ploye OF the D. M. & N. railroad as is
also MIR. Brennan. MIR. Hokkanen Is
proprietor of the Cyko Art Studio. All
have been residents OF this city for
years. Judge Toms has been In the
position the past two years. Judge
Bodin, as he will be known after his
induction In January, has recently been
active In MIRA work as clerk of the en-
ployment Office under Mr.. Brennan, q
member OF the MIRA committee Of the
district embracing four northern
counties. The newly elected Aldermen
will assist the holdovers, Messrs. John
Kapsch, Ivan Tauzen and Walter D.
Carlson and Mayor John A. Harri in
conducting the affairs Of the city. All
are abundantly able to conduct the
business OF the city for the good of the
people in it and keep Ely in the front
rank of well managed cities.
The vote at the several precincts was
as follows:

After all, liquor control is
more of an individual matter
and temperance a matter of
personal education. The phil
osophy of the old German sal
DON proprietor in Wisconsin,
who remarked when asked to
drink with a party, "the stuff is
made to sell and not to drink"
had about the right idea. He
let the other fellow decide for
himself. A man in Hibbing
has brought out an idea. He
would have the state either
manufacture or import all
liquors of every kind, set up
state dispensaries in every
community, and give it away
to all corners. He thinks this
would promote temperance in
the end and be the cheapest
for the taxpayer.
Before the civil war, drink
ing was general. Booze was
cheap but no one ever became
drunk. To meet the war ex-
pense, a heavy tax was placed
on liquor and drunkenness and
the consumption of liquor in
creased. More taxes were
added and drinking further in
creased. Finally higher taxes
begot the tblind pig" and the
bootlegger and the liquor
revenues fell off. Taxes were
then reduced but it was too
late. An appetite had been
created. We have always con-
tended that if the lake near
Ely was all whiskey and you
gave a man a dipper to go
down and help himself, he
would not go near it but would
wait for some one to come
along and surepticiously sell
him a bottle of the same stuff
for a couple of dollars.

Eighteen per cent tax de-
linquency was reported for St.
Louis County Monday by Treas
urer Sargent, an increase. of II
per cent over last year. Taxes
due amounted to $21, 230, 404.-
95 and taxes paid were ST.
400,919.53. Not much hope is
being held out that things will
be different next year. Out

taxes delinquent which con-
stitute a considerable figure
and which will probably be a
matter for the courts except in
Ely and Hibbing, hundreds of
small taxpayers, hit by the
lowered income of rentals and
labor, were forced to become
delinquent.
A suggestion has been made
and will bear looking into, and
that is to fix it so taxpayers
can pay on a monthly basis the
same as they pay the light bills
and other accounts. This
would bring in a monthly in
come with the arrangement of
budgets to correspond on a
strictly cash basis. With the
money assured monthly, dis
count could be made for the
prompt payment.
