as 6 series Of morse trades" With industry, with all the David Har- ums on the other side of the fence." This is nasty crack, be- cause Richberg was one of NRA's two chief traders.
 LaFollette thinks Richberg is devious and evasive. He and Cos tigan. want to know how, with MIRA on the job, unemployment according to MIRA figures-rose from 10,6O0,000 at the end of 1883 to 1O,S3O,Oo0 at the end of 1884.
 Then they throw figures back | and forth at each other to prove
 alternately that MIRA has been 8 grand success and grand flop. ] They also prove that there aren't any reliable figures on uneln- plOyment or many other figures to demonstrate what MIRA has
 and hasn't done.
 GA prying newspaperman at about this point discovers that MIRA has given the senators a booklet of charts shich do not in- tlude many of the most signifi- cant discoveries and interpreta- tions by NRA's research and plan- ming division.)
 A Neat Cover-Up
 For instance, the study showing that wages paid in 1884 were but 60 per cent of the 1926 amount, whereas dividends and interest stood at 150 per cent.
 Cts a booklet especially pre- pared for the committee and fur ther prying reveals a seemingly deliberate effort to avoid letting the committee understand too much.)
 Richberg proves to be an able advocate. But LaFollette's recita- tion of the original announced aim of NRA-promotion of fullest use of production facilities, increased Iconsumption, spread of purchasing power and so on-reminds every body that the early glorious visions of General Johnson have yet to be fulfilled
 NOtables in Cast
 Those two old pals, Don and Bob, are the stars of the show. But the supporting cast is nota- ble.
 The committee room is full, mostly of high MIRA officials-in- cluding Chairman Clay Williams, smoking one of the cigarets his company makes, and John l.. Lew is. of the miners union and MIRA Labor Advisory Board.
 The committee includes many of the more prominent senators-Pat Harrison, chairman and adminis- tration leader; Hugo Black, sort of daddy to MIRA because the ad- ministration invented it to side- track his 30-hour week bill; Joe Guffey, whose political puissance landed him on the committee de- spite his newness; Jim CouZens, cynical about all this MIRA busi- ness; Arthur Capper, bright and alert; and Gerald Nye, who helped promote the Investigation.
 Then there arc three wonld-be
 sharpshOOters Dan Hastings,
 Harry Byrd, and "Blind Tom"
 Gore, all of whom would be
 more effective if they weren't sO
 densely ignorant about MIRA.
 Probably I owe it to Don Rich berg to report his good-natured protest, after the session, about a story I recently wrote. He said:
 When l refuse 40 to 60 invi- stations for speeches every month and make only two or three, and you write that I have a mania for making speeches. I want to rum pie your hair" Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, Inc.

THE NEW DEAL
 / IN WASHINGTON
Pals of Old, Richberg and LaFOllette Now at War Over MIRA Codes Called Horse Trades With Industry" .. Other NOtables in Battle Cast
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 COrreSnOndonf

Washington, March 13.-A cou- pie of old pals met when Donald R. Richberg, the celebrated "as- sistant president" and Senator Bob LaFollette of Wisconsin clashed during the senate MIRA investiga- ton.
 Not so long ago, those keen minds were teamed. That was be- fore the progressives gave Rich berg up as a fallen angel.
 Richberg, a labor lawyer' and brilliant protagonist of progress sive thought, fought many of the old fights at the side of the senior Senator LaFollette. While the old man lay sick in 1924, Richberg and young Bob went to Cleveland and ran the third party conven. tion which nominated their con- mon leader for the presidency.
 Next year, when "old Bob" died, his son succeeded him as senator and Don Richberg was his chief legislative adviser. Between them, they furnished much of the brains of the progressive movement in the Coolidge and Hoover days.
 But now no one hurls harsFler
 questions at Richberg than
 LaFollette, who, with the suave COstigan) of Colorado, represents on the committee the thought of prOgressives that Richberg has become an apOlogist for administration
 failures and conservative poll. cies.
 In past years Richberg has been agin' the government. Now he's a large part of it. Progressives have /been both for and az in, but become increasingly sour.

CLASS HISTORY
CHR0NIcLED BY
The GRADUATES

The Ely High School has not had, the
Ely High School, we fear, never will
have a class so admirable as this on
which your attention is now focused.
We have often contemplated our rise
to prominence. We started in the
tranquil kindergarten at five in the
Year of Our Lord, 1922. To be sure, We
were not all in one group as we are now
Some of us were led to the Washington
School by our mothers. Others were
escorted to the Lincoln, Pioneer, and
other schools. Those days now seem so
remote that we remember very little of
what occurred, but we do recall using
our hefty voices against the subsection
of a teachers restrictions on the first
days of school. Those who attended the
Washington School remember the dark
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1935-05-31

closet that the kindergarten teachers
used, to enforce their disciplinarian
measures.
Perhaps a few of the seniors, from the
first grade in the Lincoln School, were
victims of Miss KoSki's mouth-washing
campaign against the use of profane
language.
The seniors, particularly those who at
tended the Lincoln School, can re-
member second grade as a year of
gay parties. The second grade from the
Washington School may readily recall
the birthday parties given jointly by
Matt Stukel and Bill Parker.
In the third grade, Ensio Essila, now
one of our most dignified Seniors, was
the cause for mo more joke-telling fo1
the rest of the year"-gueSs why? That
same year, if Eleanor Turula hadn't
crawled up the aisle to Linda Laitala's
desk, she would have known that island
isn't pronounced island. 1t was also
during this year that John Stukel &C
quired his cave-man tactics from read
ing about the Stone Age.
In the following year, which leads us
into fourth grade, we find Tommy
Thompson coming face to face with his
first mathematical difficulty, long di-
! vision. During this year, some of ou1
most shining lights joined our ranks
from the Savoy School.
Of course, some of the seniors re-
member that May Day escapade, when
Miss Rudow caught great many of us
sitting on the lawn, when we should
have been on the playground. Those
were the days when all the girls hid
behind the bushes so they wouldn't nave
to go on the playground for recess
We also had great times jumping the
sprinklers to see which one could keep
from getting wet. Miss Holloran was
often the "butt" of many jokes.
In 1928, when the Lincoln and Pioneer
Schools came to the Washington School
for sixth grade, we, the present class of
bold seniors, started the first lap of our
journey together. This was the year
Leonard Klun began splasfing his way
to fame. Then there was the movie in
geography class which was run by
George Sutherland and Henry Dahl.
The two have been show ever since.
Doris Wegen enjoyed her noon hours
pretending she was a princess, with the
bus students acting the part of her
retinue
The next year we all moved into the
Old High School as seventh graders.
During this certain year, Carl CALI was
found monopolizing Miss F'owler's never
to be forgotten dungeon. We must not
forget that at this time, two of our most
notable young senior girls, Ruth Harri
and Linda Laitala, broke the record
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1935-05-31

Two outstanding girls in the senior
class of l934-35 are Julia Skule, valedic-
torian, with an average of T.107, and
Bernice Cardew. salutatorian, with an
average of 96.5. These girls, besides
topping the class in scholastic standings,
have been members of the debate team
for two years, and have also been active
members of the girls glee club for four
years.
They have done four years of earnest
work to have well-rounded school life,
and we'll deserve the honors which they
receive. The girls should be highly
complimented on their good work.
At the commencement exercises to be
held on May 81, Miss Skule will speak
on 1.-The need of character and courage
in the future for the youth of today,
based on the class motto, To-day De-
cides Tomorrow" Miss Cardews sub
ject will be based on Although the path
was hard, we've succeeded in earning

for long distance talking.
In 1880, the Winton pupils joined our
numbers. Frederick Gradisher became
recognized as the class comedian and
incidentally in that year began his
famous cowboy stories which he can
still tell. Mona and Bernice were
starting their debating careers when
they took part in the eighth grade de-
bate. Those participating were: Elda
Mona, Bernice, George and Sulo. Per.
haps we should mention the "Stinl
bomb" in Miss Hasu's room which
caused the sudden migration to the
assembly room.

Our high school days began. The
freshman year of the class was marked

spirit was only strengthened by its mis-.
fortunes. Study 101, conducted by the
new teacher, Mr.. Stearns, was a regular
circus. Miss Herrick furnished plenty
of enjoyment, too. Remember thu
SOOSe egg dIlQ H. &.
Latin II students learned how tx
carry heavy books and bravely struggled
through Caesars Gallo Wars in oul
sophomore year. Miss Foster saved Us
from becoming too "fed up" on schools
Our junior year was sort of an in
between year. We were no longer silly
young freshmen or foolish Sophomores
and we had not yet reached the dignified
senior stage. We managed to &c
through the year fairly smoothly, how
ever. Our heart-breaking exclusion
from the famous senior banquet was
partly remedied by our prominence in
the prom.
At last we were seniors. Everyone
had glorious time initiating the fresh
men, all but the freshmen. The annual
water carnival was a big success The
time slipped by so quickly that soon
we were figuring up our averages for
four years of high school Julia Skule
and Bernice Cardew were found to be
the brai1lest of our brain trust. Judg-
ing from the reports of the student
body, our senior class play was shit"
We had the most colorful prom in years
with its gorgeous decorations and many
rainbow-hued gowns. Today is Senior
Day" and we are about to enjoy our
much earned BUNS Day" at Mckinley
Park. This will be followed closely by
graduation, when our high school days
will be over; but We hope to meet again
in the Ely Junior College.

Know all men by these presents; that
We, the senior class of the Ely Memorial
High School, of the City of Ely, of the
County of st. Louis, and of the State
of Minnesota, being of firm memories
and sound minds, do of our own free
will, jointly and severally, make, declare,
and cause to be published the following,
our last will and testament.

tors, Miss Johnson, Mr.. Englund, and
Mr.. Haugen pay all our just debts out
of their own purses as soon as expedient

tendent, Walter E. Englund, we be-
queath all the fear, admiration, awe
and respect in which we hold him, SO

the incoming Freshmen in order that
said incoming Freshmen may be be-
comingly circumspect in his presence
Thirdly: We do bequeath all the
honors and privileges, as well as the re-
sponsibilities, appertaining to senior
classes from the very dawn of history
to the class of 1886.
Fourthly: To its beloved teachers the
senior class leaves its undying gratitude
and respect and, furthermore, grants
them the privilege of basking in the
glory which shall be reflected from our
many dazzling future achievements
And also, we hereby release our beloved
teachers from lifelong servitude to
the cause of education, hoping that they
will avail themselves Of this concession
and enter into the holy bonds of
matrimony.
We severally bequeath the following !:
Firstly: Sylvester Yuma yields his
position as president of the senior class
to the most fortunate member of the
Junior class.
Secondly: Fred GradiSher leaves to
the entire high school the task of
Kidding the building of all the ancient,
mummified jokes he has exhumed and
left to rot during the past four years.
Thirdly: AS she no longer needs to get
up at six o'clock in the morning in
order to get to school on time, Ruth
Harri leaves her alarm clock to Marie
Sarkpato.
Fourthly: Mark Anthony Popovicn
leaves his persuasive politicians "line"
