ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Mail order catalogs to the
number of 2006 were received
at the local postoffice on Mon
day morning. These catalogs
are only sent to those on the
list of past or present customers
of the concerns sending the
catalogs and tentatively indi-
cate the number of patrons in
Ely of the mail order houses.
It also indicates that a vast
amount of money left town,
never to return, for goods that
should have been bought in
Ely and thus help to build up
this city instead of Chicago.
While several local mer-
chants make the claim that
they could have furnished
much of the goods bought at
prices less in many cases than
those of the catalog house,
these facts were not generally
known. Were they known,
there is no doubt that many of
the patrons would have gladly
made their purchases at home.
Advertising has made the sue
cess of the mail order concerns
possible.
Some of the local stores have
catalogs on their counters for
comparison of prices with local
stocks. In almost every in
stance where such comparisons
have been made, purchases
have resulted of local goods at
an appreciate saving in cost
besides having the money re-
main here for the betterment
Of the city.

covered that the alternative was a rural
credit levy of mills or more, gave his
consent, and when the law was passed
jos. A. Poirier, then a Farmer-Labol
member of the Rural Credit Bureau,
publicly declared that the bureau would
not observe the law but would con-
tlnue borrowing up to the limit set by
previous statutes.
OF the present state deficit, all &C
cumulated since 1890 and now nearing
SIS 000, 600, the Minnesota Leader
STORY" mentions only S6.O00,O00 which
it says is merely customary borrowing
to tide the state over until the next tax
payment. Here, strangely enough for
the Leader, is a bit of truth, but the
Leader dircreetly neglects to say that
this borrowing has been customary only
since 1890. Also, the state auditor says
that incoming tax money must be used
for other purposes and will not
materially reduce the deficit.
The Minnesota Leader, in its highly
imaginative story" protests that the
administration must not be charged
with any additions to the state debt
since 1880 because the administration
has never controlled the Legislature,
but it nevertheless plumes itself and
the administration upon reducing high
way obligations by several millions
Are debts made? Charge them to the
''reactionaries. Are debts paid? Claim
all the credit for it, As a matter of
fact, the highway reductions named ny
the Leader were compulsory under
statute enacted before the present ad-
miniStration came into power.

isn't so.

Tree in Busy Streets
Dangerous, is Warming.

Communities which set up munich
pal Christmas trees should not place
the tree in a trunk highway, according
to a warning issued by tile state high
way department.
Often a community plans to place
large tree in the center of one of
the main streets during the holiday
season, as this is a conspicuous loca-
ton. However, highway department
officials report, this is also a dangerous
location any may bring serious acct
dents to children and others who stop
in the street to admire the tree. The
department urges that no trunk high
way be used for such purposes. and rec
ommends that trees be placed in some
location away from heavy traffic.

had nothing to offer except that capt.
talism is bad and must be succeeded by
political set-up, which he fervently
promised would bring on an economic
millennium, but which otherwise he re-
ferred to only in the vaguest and
briefest terms. His Address to Youth
was an oratorical flower with promises
of rich fruits, but as with his talk on
the Need of a Third Party he was
vague as to how it is to be done except
that where business sins and comes
short of perfection. politics will be
pure and undefiled.
The governor also gave out an inter-
view in New York in which he assured
the intelligentsia of Communism in the
aristocratic Aston hostelry that the way
to end the capitalistic system is TO
spend business and industry out of the
picture This frank admission, trick
ling back TO the ears of the folks back
home, throws considerable light on
what has been going on in Minnesota
during the last five years, and accounts
for some of the governors all-devouring
to the Legislature as
to taxation.

stead Exemption Act Chapter $50, Laws
1889 provides that the first $4,000 of
all implanted property Chat is, rural
property occupied as homestead shall
be assessed at 20 per cent of its full
and true value, and that the first $4,000
Of plated property (that is, urban
property occupied as homestead shall
be assessed at IS per cent of its full
and true value. This act is now on
the statute books There has been
vigorous agitation to exempt entirely
from taxation the first $4,000 value of
all property occupied as homestead.
but the operation of the Homestead Act
has been so unsatisfactory, in that it
has materially increased the tax rate
On all property and thus added to the
tax paid by the great majority, that
practically no attempt was made at
the 1885 session to amend the law in
accordance with this agitation.
