Staff King, State Auditor,
G. O. p. Banquet Speaker
Republican Party Needed to Pull the Country Out of the
Mud Into Which 1t Has Sunk During Past Few Years."
Declares Banquet Speaker.

Without doubt the address delivered
by State Auditor Stafford King to the
100 men and women assembled at the
Forest hotel last evening, under the
banner of the Ely Republican club, was
one of the highlights of public speaking
in this city
MIR King dwelt on the birth and life
of Abraham Lincoln and his connection
with the formation of the Republican
party He dwelt on the attitude of the
martyred president of the United States
to the common people of the country
under the benificient influences of the
Constitution of the United States
adopted as a bulwark against the ma
chinations Of despots and dictators by
a group of men throwing of the yoke
of oppression by despotic rulers and
framing document whose fundamen-
tai principles are recognized as the most
complete Of any nation IN existence
today.
He did not nince words in his pic
lures of what might follow were the
Constitution to be scrapped as advo-
Gated by various iSms, rearing their
heads in several places in the land. He
described what has followed the reign
of dictators in foreign countries and
what would follow in this country if
the constitution should become inop-
erative.
Most emphatically, he denounced the
administration for its dictatorial at
titude and did not forget our own Min
nesota regime with its deyasting and
self-centered political powers. Mr.. King
was at his best and for an hour brought
out fact after fact to prove that the
Republican party was needed to pull the
country out of the mud into which it
The Ely miner., 1936-02-13

has sunk during the past few years.
The address set well with those
present, at least no murmur was heard
and no contradiction followed his state
ments. He was warmly congratulated
at the close over his temerity in giving
his opinion without evading the ques-
ticn form any angle. No names were
mentioned but anyone who has kept
his finger on the political pulse was
fully aware of these alluded to.
The meeting was opened with an ex-
cellent dinner served by Host Rikhus
and his able assistants. Music during
the dinner was furnished by the string

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

Legislation passed at the last
session of the legislature makes
it possible for hundreds of de-
linqUent property owners in St.
Louis county to save their
property by making an equal
payment a year for 10 years
on all delinquent taxes for 1888
and prior years.
This will result in an in
creased tax revenue for the
county and gives the delinquent
an opportunity to get out from
under a bad load accumulated
during these bad depression
years. In making the payments
for delinquent taxes, current
taxes must be kept up.
Delinquent taxes will be
settled on a basis of actual ta2
and assessments plus A pei
cent interest per annum. Nc
penalties or costs will be pay
able by the taxpayer on the
10-year plan. The law is oper
ative until Nov. l, 1887.
