All Waterville, to Celebrate
 Moore Day"


 Ninety per cent of the Waterville population kept one eye on the sky throughout the forenoon to-day hoping that the few drops of rain which fell earlier in the day would not continue and so spoil the ela- borate plays made for Johnny Moore Day.. All of Johnny's for mer schoolmates, shopmates and neighbors are planning to be at Hamilton park at o'clock this afternoon to see their idol per form with the Philadelphia team against the City league All Stars. This is his first appearance in uniform in this city since he be- came a big leaguer a few years ago. He is to receive a fitting tes- timonial gift to which his legion of local admirers have subscribed.
 Johnny will probably spend the night with his parents. Mir and Mrs William J. Moore of Driggs street to New York city to-mor- row to join his teammates against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Many of those present found it difficult to restrain their feelings as they bade fare well to the saintly priest who has been such a fine leader in Water vile for the past eight years. Father Heating takes complete charge of the parish to-day.

Army Worms Haze
Again Been Here.

The army worm invasion has come
and gone and left in its wake poplar
trees stripped of their foliage. The in
vasion this year covered thousands of
acres. Particularly virulent were they
in the territory west of the city and
across the lake as far as the eye can
see.
Last year the hungry horde invaded
the territory west of the golf course and
ate the green leaves from the trees in
less than two weeks time. This year
they passed over the same territory in
addition TO new territory further west.
Supervisor Ray Harmon of the Su-
perior National Forest was IN the city
Tuesday and told of the devastation
wrought in other parts Of the forest.
They cause little damage 10 trees other
than destroying the foliage New
leaves are expected to grow in about
two weeks.
The worms are black, about an inch
long and thin They are also called
tent caterpillars from their practice of
spinning tent-like cocoon In angles OF
trees and buildings.

TO INSTRUCT
TIMBERMEN
Fred Bessette of Orr Named to
Help Timber Cutters on
Conservation Code.

Thousands of acres of timber land in
Minnesota will be kept in condition
for forest re-growth through the oper-
alton of the Forest Conservation Code
of the NRA, according to the Northern
Pine Manufacturers Association, ad-
ministrators of the code.
An important function of the lumber
code is the conservation of natural
timber resources through rules for cut
ting timber. All forest lands cut over
under the jurisdiction of the code shall
be left in a favorable condition for re-
growth. The rules of forest practice
for Minnesota recently approved by the
Administration in line with President
Roosevelt,s declared policy, provide for
fire protection during and Immediately
after logging, the conservation and pro-
lection of immature trees and young
growth, and provisions for restocking
the land after cutting.
One of the requirements of the code
is that each operator shall furnish and
maintain in serviceable condition sufh-
cient fire fighting tools to equip at
least so per cent of the men available
on logging operations. Each operator
or owner shall also designate a COM
petent man for his operation to be
responsible for fire protection activities.
Instructions prohibit smoking in the
woods during hazardous periods, that
camp and lunch fires be built only in
safe places and completely extinguished
before leaving, that operations be shut
down during ra-hazardous periods,
that adequate patrol be maintained
during high-hazard periods. and that
fire fighting crews be organized and
made subject to call.
Protection against insects and dis
eases is also included among the pro-
visions of the forest conservation code,
which provide for cooperation of the
administrative agency with the Federal
and State Forest Service.
Fred w. Bessette of Orr, Minnesota,
has been appointed forest conservation
field representative to visit woods op-
erations and instruct loggers with re-
gard to their obligations under the rules
of forest practice.
Mr.. Bessette is peculiarly well quail
fed for his duties as conservation
representative under the code, having
been active in woods operations of the
lumber industry both as employee and
operator from 1897 to 1911 He was
then appointed District Forest Ranger
of the State and when elected to the
legislature in 1915, served as Chairman
of the House Committee on Forestry.
He was also Chairman of the Com
mittee on Reforestation Of the Senate
from 1927 to 1929, and was member of
the Minnesota Reforestation Committee
which made an intensive study of re-
forestation in seven states and Canada

With this issue The Ely
Miner enters upon the 41st year
OF its existence. During the
forty years the Miner has been
printed in Ely it has been the
aim of the paper to publish
good news and the sordid mat
ters of everyday life have been
omitted. The hardest duty of
an editor is not in getting stuff
to print but in knowing what
not to print. Borrowing the
expression of a valued ex-
change and appropriating the
expression to the Miner we will
say 'The Ely Miner is the only
paper in the country that gives
a damn for Ely or its people" >"
During the forty years since we
established the paper we have
endeavOred to be fair to this
city and have made friends by
our attitude. We have also
made some enemies inasmuch
as we have consistently refused
to wash someone's dirty linen"
at the expense of the reputation
of the city and numberless
fathers, mothers, sisters and
brothers. To both our friends
and enemies we express our
heartfelt thanks, the former for
their loyalty and the latter for
considering us of enough i'm
portance to get ''sore" about.
In conclusion we wish to quote
an unknown poet who fittingly
observed:
Pray don't find fault with the man who
Iimps,
Or stumbles along the road,
Unless you have worn the shoes he
wears,
Or struggled beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that
hurt,
Though hidden away from view;
Or the burden he bears, placed on your
back,
Might cause you to stumble, too
Don't sneer at the man who's down
today,
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall, or felt the same
That only the fallen know.
You may be strong, but still the blows
That were his, if dealt to you,
In the self-same way at the self-same
time,
Might cause you to stagger, too.
Don't be harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with words or stones,
Unless you are sure, yea, deadly sure,
That you have no sins of your own
For you know, perhaps, if the tempter's
voice
Should wisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray,
'Twould cause you to falter, too.

Subscription Accounts.

We have sent out subscription ac-
counts by our collector, Miss Josep-
hine SOmroek, and it is hoped that
she and the statement will be eordi-
ally received. While we have been
approached to sell the accounts as
a whole to a collecting firm, we have
not done so and instead are making
substantial reductions to our sub
scribers in order to bring the ac-
counts up to date. Every c0nsidera-
ti0n viii be given you by Miss
Somrock and errors viii be cheer
fully rectified to your entire salts
faction. If complaints are necessary,
please call at the Office and they will
be listened to and ironed out.

TAX JUSTICE
INCOME TAX
Association Working to Abolish
Real and Personal Property
Taxes in This State.

Interest in the plan to relieve the tax
burden, particularly the real estate and
personal property taxes, is spreading
rapidly throughout Minnesota. accord
ing to statement by Mayor z. L.
Hayek, Albert Lea, president, Minnesota
Association for Tax Justice. This
association is advocating a gross income
tax of one-haf of one per cent, which
is commonly referred to as the dollar
turnover" tax, as replacement tax
The tax burden in Minnesota has
become so oppressive" Mayor Hayek
said, that the citizens are up in arms
demanding that steps be taken at once
to establish system of taxation that
viii be equitable and just, ''if we go on
as we are" Mayor Hayek added, there
viii be no private property to tax in
another ten years. Our present system
of taxation is confiscatory. It is OBJ
solete, unfair and unjust, and it must
be changed to meet present conditions .
I'VE believe" said Mayor Hayek, ''that
the plan which we are sponsoring to
levy tax of one-haH of one per cent
ON all income in Minnesota, with no
exceptions provided, win spread the
tax burden so widely that it viii cease
to be a burden. It viii restore the
natural desire for home ownership, and
revive the building and Improvement of
homes and commercial property, viii
reduce rents, and viii give the farmers
genuine relief. It will go a long ways
toward relieving the unemployment
situation. It will serve to enhance the
value Of city and farm property, in
fact the benefits that will be derived
from such tax are so numerous and
so far-reaching that is impossible to
mention them all in a single statement" /"
The Minnesota Association for Tax
Justice was organized recently at a

the Farmer-Labor platform is
ratified by the reelection Of
the party in power in this state
in November.
What is to be used for money
to pay for this experiment in
Sovietism, no one has as yet
announced. The industries
have been paying an overload
Of taxes, especially the mining
industry, to keep the state in
operation and the salaries of
high priced state officials paid.
When these industries are
taken from the tax rolls, this
prolific source of income will
stop. Looking at it from the
range viewpoint, where will
you, | and the rest of us small
be in this confiscation
scheme? Minnesota is the only
state in the Union that has gone
"goofy' on the subject by
reason of an influx of COM
munism or cooperative COM
monwealth discredited diciples
from the Dakotas aided by So
called leaders in this state bent
on feathering their own nests.
We do not contemplate that
the Minnesota voter will fall in
with the scheme. The threat
to enforce the corporation tax
law of 1878 has already been
met by the announcement that
many important companies will
find it cheaper to move out of
the state than to stay here and
pay the extra tax added to the
surfeit of taxes they already are
forced to pay. We also figure
that this is not the greatest
issue confronting the people be-
tween now and November.
Confiscation and cooperative
commonwealth" is what should
be looked into. The old cor
poration tax law will become
imperative anyway when the
state takes over all industries.
Our faith in the rank and file
of Minnesota voters is not
shaken even by the results of
the primary election just
passed. Get rid of a bunch of
political blackjacking mounte-
banks and the old ship of state
will again ride out the waves of
a foreign financed Soviet storm
and will continue to be one of
the political bulwarks of the
greatest country on earth,
America.
