ADKINS NAMED
SCHOOL HEAD
School Executive is Reelected
at Session of School Board
Monday Evening.

Stanley Adkins was reelected super
intendent of the Ely school system for
the coming year at the meeting of the
board of education on Monday evening
The election was by the unanimous vote
of the board and clearly showed the
high place held by Mr.. Adkins in the
opinion of this body.
He came to this city in October, 1895,
after the resignation of Superindent
Englund who accepted a position with
the Minnesota Education Association as
field director. Mr.. Adkins did not come
to Ely total stranger. He was prin-
cipal in the schools here for two years
from 1912 to 1914.
Leaving here he went to Blue Earth
in the southern end of the state but a
short time later went to Aurora. After
serving in the World War, Mr. Adkins
returned to Aurora and later went to
California. He attended Harvard Uni
versity after leaving California and
again returned to the ranges as super
intendent at Bull.
Aurora again called him but this
time as superintendent. He remained
there for several years and resigned to
attend Columbia University. 1t was
while at the University that he was
called to this city to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of MIR.
Englund.
He has filled the position here since
October, 1885, and during this time has

Miners of This Area
to Receive 10 Per Cent
Wage Increase Mar. Is
New Wage Boost Result of
Negotiations of Officials
and Employees.
10000 MINERS PROFIT
Pioneer, Sibley, Zenith and
Soudan Workers Benefit
in This Locality.

A general wage increase affecting ap-
proxinfately 10000 miners in the Lake
Superior district, effective March I6,
has been announced by the Oliver Iron
Mining Company and the PickandS,
Mather Company besides other COM
panieS mining ore in the Lake Superior
district.
The news of the boost was received
here the latter part of the week by the
employees at the mines and the business
people with much satisfaction. The pay
increase will amount to considerable
in this city as the employees Of the
Pioneer, Sibley and Zenith mines are
affected.
Minnesota, Upper Michigan and Nor
thern Wisconsin will be affected to the
extent of between four and five million
dollars in additional wages paid an
nually by the mining industry.
The announcement of the increase
in pay was made by Leroy SalSich,
president of the Oliver Iron Mining
company, who further stated:
<AAoNA O1AC NO41S4Io4O11 u
with employe representatives the COM
pany announces a general wage increase
for all wage earrrers effective March
Is. 1t is understood the base wage rate
will be increased to IS per day, with ad-
JuStmentS in all other rates and that
a 4O-hour week will be established with
pay of time and a half for overtime

hours in any one week"
Similar statements were issued by A.
D. Chisholm, general manager of the
Pickands, Mather & Company, opera
tors of the Zenith mine in this CITY

Tax Supported Group
Would Curb PUBLICITY.

The League of Minnesota Munich
palities, an organization supported
mostly in membership and attendance
at conventions by appropriations of
municipal governing bodies, last week
issued a bulletin attacking legislation
which would require village councils to
publish reports of their proceedings.
The bulletin contained many inaccur-
acies as to the cost and claimed the
measure was a subsidy for newspapers,
while in truth the small cost involved
in such publication is cheap insurance
for more efficiency and less waste in
one of the many tax-Spending bodies.
1.-The action of the League" says Allen
E. MCGOWAN, manager of the Minnesota
Editorial Association, indicates that
this organization has adopted policy
of resisting publicitysof the affairs of
local governing bodies. Taxpayers are
entitled to regular reports of how their
money is being spent, and the greater
publicity these proceedings receive the
more protection is given to honest Off
Gals and the less temptation there is
for waste by these groups. The ques-
tion of taxes is something that affects
all of us, but it is the amount spent by
the local governing body which reflects
itself in this problem more quickly and
in greater proportion than any other.
A few dollars spent locally increases
ones taxes more than thousand spent
by the state, and full publicity on the
affairs of these local governing bodies
is the greatest curb possible to useless
spending. Taxpayers should demand
regular reports from all tax-spending
bodies
