Scouting Lauded as Means
of Youth Training by
Banquet Speaker.
$50 GUESTS PRESENT
Officers Elected for Area
Council at Afternoon
Business Session.

How Russia, Italy, Germany and
Japan were capitalizing on the youth
of their countries, was brought out
wildly by A. E. OKonski, instructor Of
dramatics in the Itasca Junior College
at Coleraine. as the main speaker at
the banquet given in connection with
the annual meeting of the Headwaters
Area Council held here Saturday after
noon and evening.
The speaker stated most emphatically
that this country was not doing enough
in the Youth Movement now SO pre-
valent all over the world and cited
Mussolini. Hitler, Stain and others, as
having things well in hand although he
did not profess to believe that the
youths under the direction of these
leaders were receiving education to fit
them for the important position of
future citizens, they will assume.
He stated that the Scout movement
presented the opportunity for training
beneficial to the youth of the country.
He cited the fact that Scout training
was in the line of good citizenship and
that both Boy and Girl Scouts were an
honor to America and other countries
in which they fIourished.
Mr.. OKonsk stated in the beginning
Of his address that he was a graduate of
the University of Moscow, Russia, and
that he spoke of conditions in that
country from personal observations
made during the time he was there.
He It'd of the Communistic teachings of
the land and stated the schools of
America were a fertile field for the
teachings and that many paid ennis
Saries of the Soviet were spreading the
doctrines in schools and colleges of
America.
He described the methods of teaching
in Russia and that religious views were
Outlawed in that land From his &C
count of the schools the listener drew
conclusions that education was taboo
in Russia and that Communism and
Atheism were instilled in the youth re-
gardless of anything else.
His talk, all too short, was both in
structive and interesting and listened to
with the greatest of attention. He
opened with a series of anecdotes which
put the audience in good humor
The annual meeting of the Head
waters Area Council was held at the
Community Center in the afternoon
Reports from officers showed the Area
IN good financial condition considering
the economic condition at present being
experienced.
The annual repoEs of President Leach
Of the Area presented several state
ments which proved very interesting.

WPA PROJECT
REACHES GOAL
Minnesota on Monday Became
One of First to Have All
Clients at Work.

With $4,000 persons from the relief
rolls at work and more than 5000 others
assigned to jobs, Minnesota the first of
the week became one Of the first states
in the nation in which the Works
Progress Administration had reached
its goal according to Victor Christgau.
state administrator
The pay checks for the "a workers on
WPA propects in this city were given
out last week The larger number of
the men received the full amount for
amount of the pay roll in Ely was
81 ,62828. according to City Engineer
Somero in charge of the work.
Those receiving their assignments
during the last week were principally
white collar" and skilled workers, and
large group whose Qualifications to the
relief rolls show they have some physi-
cal handicap.
In an effort to provide work for the
entire WPA quota of $4,000 Immediately,
the workers remaining on relief rolls
were assigned to available projects re-
gardless Of their occupational CLASH
fication.
I'VE are forced to take this action"
Mr.. Christgau said, because of the lack
of sufficient approved projects calling
for white collar and other skilled men,
but these assignments are temporary
and workers will be transferred to pro-
jects requiring their particular types
of work as fast as approvals are forth
coming from Washington. 1t is hoped
that workers will accept these jobs tenn
porarily so that every employable may
be on the payroll before direct relief
ends"
Among those to get late assignments
also were physically handicapped per-
sons for whom every effort was being
made to provide light work

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

There certainly is merit in
the plan of sanding the high
ways of the county as proposed
by Edward Leach, mining ex-
ecutive of Hibbing, who ap-
peared before clubs in that city
with a plea that some con-
certed action be taken to
remedy the icy condition of the
highways prevailing in the
northern section of the state
the past two weeks and for
several years past during the
months of November and Dec
ember.
Highways have been in a
treacherous and dangerous con-
dition all this month when rain
followed by frost made them a
glare of ice, extremely hazard
Gus for driving. The state
should avail itself of sanding
machines and remedy the slip
ing and sliding experienced by
motorists. Innumerable cars
have landed in the ditch after
becoming unmanageable on the

Hitting The
High Spots
Stories Aside From the News
BY s. p. s.

Keno at three different public parties
during the past week have engaged the
attention of Ely people with everyone
trying to win Thanksgiving turkey
One of the most simple games, requiring
only the placing of the kernels Of corn
on numbers, much entertainment was
derived from the pastime especially
when one player, who had completed
row of numbers, required his partner
to yell "keno!" The player thought
that all the numbers on the board had
to be covered in order to win.
Another, after playing all evening,
exchanged boards with his partner, who.
much to his disgust, won on the next
round. A woman who carelessly threw
the lucky number for the grand prize of
a twenty-pound turkey over her
shoulder was delighted when it was
found her daughter had picked up the
discarded number and was awarded the
prize. And the prize player of the
week was an Ely merchant, Mike
Marines, who won four turkeys in sue
ceSsion.
Mike, our shop co-worker, said that
some Of the men on relief projects were
being given two shovels Asked why,
he said that it was too hard to balance
leaning on one shovel

gasoline taxes-showed such gains
that there was little doubt that
the volume of sales and travel
increased greatly to approach the
pre-depression peak years.
From a state government view
point, this meant improved rev.
enue returns and a reduction in
original estimates of what the
general fund deficit would be on
June 30, 1887
State i'm "Red"
Despite the fact that the legis-
lature adopted new tax measures
to raise more than $6O000,000 in
additional revenue for the 1885,
81 biennium, controller Ray L.
Riley at the close of the session
estimated the deficit would total
at least $81 100000, instead of the
$21 100000 listed in the red" col
umn at the end of the 1885
period.
Increased revenue during the
past few months caused Riley to
lower his estimate to $4,000, 600,
and state finance Director Ain
E. Stockburger leaned bit more
to the optimistic side when he
predicted the state would be only
$65, 100000 to $70,000,000 in the
red when the bienniurn ends.
The legislature balanced the
budget SO far as actual govern
mental costs were concerned, then
added $48,000,000 for unemploy-
n1ent relief and several millions
for increased old age pensions and
did nothing to provide revenue for
these expenditures. That accounted
for the heavy deficit.
During the year now drawing to
a close, the State Board of Equal
ization alone collected $3.50, 400. 900
in taxes and licenses. Leading the
list were the sales tax, $66, 200, 900.
and the gasoline tax, $44,675, 900.
Others included insurance taxes
$685., 600; liquor licenses, $780,
900; liquor tax, $4,000,000 wine
and beer $1,8O0,000, and truck tax
esq $1,660,000.
Sales and gasoline taxes ex-
ceeded expectations, as did re-
turns from insurance and fran
chise taxes. Gasoline taxes jump
ed more than 100000 ahead Of
those collected in 1884. The liquor
taxes were for six months only.
and an annual revenue of ST.
100000 may be expected from that
source, according to Dixwen l..
Pierce, secretary of the beard.
Insurance taxes gained Is percent
over the 1884 figures.
Practically every state tax ex-
ceeded budget estimates.
This made state officials look
more hopefully toward solution
of revenue problems, but did not
erase the danger of sales and in
come tax repeats increasing the
expected deficit by some $4,000
600.
AS the year closed, Gov. Frank
F.. Merriam laid plans for a tax
conference the first week in Feb
ruary, seeking to have formulated
a revenue program which would
win the approval of a majority
of voters. He desired to avoid q
special legislative session as long
as possible, and said he was as
sured an intensive drive would
be directed against repeal Of the
sales and income taxes.

WEEKLY AND DAILY
PRESS OPPOSES
WAGNER BILL

Newspaper publishers both large
and small, speaking through the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association and the National Edi-
torial Association, bombarded the
Wagner Labor Disputes Bill during
the closing days OF hearings conduct
ed by the Senate Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor, charging that the
bill would render large papers pow
erless against union racketeers, and
turn small papers throughout the
country into closed shops.
Elisha Hanson and Harvey J. Kel-
ly, speaking for the A. N. P. A., told
the committee the bill would seri-
ously disturb the relations now ex-
isting between publishers and their
employees, and Edwin Funk, appear
ing for the 5000 members of the
N. e. A., declared ninety per cent
OF our shops are open shop, and this
bill would make no exception in the
case of small publishers who today
are free from labor disturbances.
The spokesman for the N. e. A..
composed largely of publishers of
WGEhAAHH anu nilAhAl uulAiGos nQiultu
out that the association opposed the
original Wagner Labor Disputes bill
last year, the bill that exempted
from its provisions those employing
10 persons or less, and that most
emphatically these publishers Op-
pose the present bill which makes no
such exemptions.
There would be no limit to the
annoyance and. expense that would
be heaped upon small publishers by
this bill" said Mr.. HUNK. I'VE pro-
test and question the constitution
ality of any law that attempts to
say who an employer shall hire"
Spokesman for scores of employer
organizations, emplOye representa-
tiOn units. and others who would be
exposed to high-pressnre tactics of
union organizers, expressed vigor-
GUS opposition to the bill. The long
hearings ended with a ringing repe-
titiOn by James A. Emery, general 1
Counsel of the National Association /
of Manufacturers of Abraham Lin I
coins warning that:
"NO man is good enough to govern
another man without his consent"
The Wagner bill would give to
majority employe groups and labor
dictators absolute control of EN-
plOyment rules and policies.
