Ely Plays Virginia
Here Tomorrow.

The Ely high school football team
will be host to the Virginia gridders
tomorrow afternoon at Memorial field
in a game which is regarded as the
high light of the locals home schedule
The kickoff takes place at 2 P. NJ.
Ely took the short end of the score
at Eveleth two weeks ago but events
Transporting since then have seen the
locals improve in those phases of the
game IN which they showed a weakness
at Eveleth. With a sound defensive
game which has been very effective
this season, the locals have been con-
centrating on offense for the past
two weeks. Sufficient drive and punch
has been lacking in the Ely team in
it's first three games, but it is more
than likely that the local offense viii
function at top speed against the visi-
tors tomorrow
Several new faces will be seen in the
local backfeld to argument their Of
fensive tactics. Where the Ely team
has been using mostly straight foot
ball in previous games, tomorrow viii
see the locals open up with the whole
book Of offensive play.
Virginia comes here with one of the
best elevens in years, Boosting of two
victories and an uncrossed goal line
The visitors have a strong defensive
team with two ball carriers that have
shown plenty of class in viezebeke, a
clever broken field runner and Captain
Mcbride, plunger of ability.
That the Ely team will have to be on
their toes and up on their game to wiz
goes without saying. The locals have il
in them to take the Queen City team
into camp of they play the game that
they are capable of without laying
down at the critical moment.
The game should be fine battle
between the two teams with plenty Oh
good football thrown in to make things
interesting.
The high school students are maxine
this game sort of Homecoming event
and VIII do it up to a turn with a
mammoth snake dance through the
downtown streets tonight, ending with
huge bonfire in the park just east
OF the football field. School yells, songr
and general pep rally viii feature the
program after the lighting of the bon
fire.

after GAS
TAX EvADERS
State Gasoline Tax Evaders to
be Proceeded Against BY
State Oil Inspector.

| Action, both civil and criminal, will
be brought against state gasoline
evaders, it was announced by George
H Griffith, chief oil inspector. Mr.
Griffith requested that Attorney Gen
eral II. H. Peterson assign David j.
Smilow, former counsellor for the state
department of agriculture, as special
assistant attorney general to look after
the cases and devote his entire time
until they are cleaned up.
Mr. Griffith pointed out that a loop
hole in the new gasoline tax law passed
by the last legislature, in which a
ninety-day period INTERVIEWED before
the law become effective, made it pos
sible for many concerns TO avoid pay
ment of the tax, which he said runs
into many thousands of dollars
The state tax on gasoline is cents
gallon. In addition, there is federal
emergency tax of l Il cents, which, how
ever, IS collected at the refineries.
The new gasoline tax law" Mr.
Griffith said, requires that all dis
tributors of gasoline in the state furnish
a financial statement before a license
can be issued. The old law permitted q
delinquent period of as much as 7s
days before the attorney general could
bring suit for collection of the tax
As the new law did not go into effect
until July %, it permitted many dis
tributors, who realized that they would
be financially unable to cope with the
letter of the new law, and who con-
Sequently would cease business on the
22nd of July, to carry on a wholesale
evasion of the gasoline tax During
this period the hands of the depart
ment were tied; the seventy-dve day
delinquent period under the old Law
prevented the department from acting
Many of those distributors took adj
vantage of that fact. They concoctec
all kinds of schemes 70 evade tax pay
ment. They set up dummy corpora
tons, connived between legitimate anc
dummy corporations, undersold legiti-
mate dealers by slastling prices, offering
premiums. and making extrayagant ana
Iunethical claims about their products.
i AT this time the bill for the new
law was presented to the last legisla.
ture, the state oil inspection department
was vigorously opposed to any post
ponement of time before placing thi
new law into operation In fact, TIL
time clause was placed IN the bill tn
last night the Legislature was in ses
sion- The present delinquency of ga.
taxes can be attributed to the over
Jealous legislator who effected tti
clause.
I Il have requested that Mr. David J
Smilow be appointed as special attor
ney general in charge of this work
Mr.. Smilow viii begin action immedi
ately SO that the taxes due the stat
shall be paid and offenders prosecuted
Mr.. Snilow helped to draft the ney
gasoline tax bill, and is well acquaintei
with the functions of the department.

Not even a crumb fell from
the table of the American Lee
gion convention in Chicago for
the Communists when the dele
gates went on record for the
deportation, or other methods
of dealing with this class and
also unqualifiedly opposed the
recognition of Russia by the
American government. AS the
Communists have worked and
prayed for a Soviet form of
government for this country,
the action of this body of 200,-
600 or more men and women
of the Legion from all parts of
America strikes somewhat of
a death wallop to the hopes of
the red-flag contingent.

The brooms of the Chisholm

During the first eleven
months of the last fiscal year
as shown by immigration
statistics, the total number of
immigrants coming into the
United States legally were less
than 5000. Old sour face re-
marked when hearing this,
that the 5000 were tradesmen
required to do our carpen-
tering, bricklaying, machine
building, ETC., trades entirely
forgotten in the curriculum of
making doctors, dentists, law
yers and school teachers out

lightless nights, sugarless and
white breadless meals and sew

nights. The American people
came through with whole

and orders for the good of the
country and the boys battling
overseas. President Roosevelt
has asked everyone to live ur
to the NRA provisions and
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson has beer
given the task of getting the
people under the wings of the

Those who have signed the
Presidents Code, for their owl
sake and the sake of their

ANOTHER A NGLE ION RESIGNATION
 .0F DR. SPRAGUE.
Settle Discusses Trip Into Stratosphere as Just
 Another Ride
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. H. One statement in the letter of resigna- ton of Prof. O. M w. Sprague economic adviser to the treasury interested Washington observers as much as did his actual dapar- ture from the administration fold
 |. It is possible that there might still be meeting of minds he wrote, had I been afforded any opportunity to discuss policies with you, but no opporturitie: whatever have been afforded me since my return from London ir July :"
 The resignation of Dr. Sprague surprised no one particularly 1T the capital Everyone knew he was not in sympathy with the Presi- dents present monetary program
 Sprague,s statement, howev CT that he wasn't given an opportun- ity to talk things over with the President raises an interesting question of Rooseveltian policy Does he mean to imply that after a certain point the President re- fuses to discuss his policies with those who disagree with him?

Just Another Ride

Those who talked with Com mander Settle in Washington after his flight into the stratosphere were struck with the nonchalance with which he described his ex- periences Il miles above the earth
 To Settle, apparently, it was just another balloon ride perhaps no more thrilling than some of the others he has taken.
 One is reminded of the time Set tie appeared before the naval court of inquiry here Investigating the Akron disaster. He described to that court what happened on a previous balloon ascent he had made. Everyone from the admiral on down listened almost breath lessly.
 It happened in 1928 at Pitts burgh, during the balloon race elimination trials.
