Column writer's pretend to believe
that there is a deal between the
president and the senators who are
up for election next time, that in
return for the passage of the re-
organization bill the president has
agreed not to be a candidate again
or to attempt to dominate the con-
vention. After the experience these
senators have had with the White
House already, the premise sounds
ridiculous. I'D. .@.E

Again We are confronted with the
hazard of slippery roads. For the next
few months the danger of skidding will
have to be kept in mind.
What precautions are you taking?
Do you drive along at your usual rate
of speed and trust to luck that you
will not encounter anything that will
call for sudden stop? Many motorists
do and later regret it. Applying your
brakes, when driving at a high rate of
speed, does not help. You merely slide
along the icy pavement. The safe thing
to do is this: drive slowly; approach
intersections, stop signs, school zones,
and traffic signals with caution and
care; think!

President Roosevelt recently
invited Lewis Brown of Johns
Manville; Colby Chester of
General Foods; Alfred P. Sloan
of General Motors; Ernest P.
Weir of National Steel, and M.
w. Clement of Pennsylvania
railroad interests to confer
with him on business con-
ditions. If it is wise for the
president to talk things over
with business, why couldn't our
governor emulate his example
and talk over business and de-
wise some means of keeping in
dustries in the state and at
tracing new ones instead of
doing all to make it tough for
the wage and salary paying
corporations in the state.

In all probability there will
be $4,000 more citizens of the
state expected to fill income
tax returns for the first time
this year under the new law
passed in 1887. Very few of
these new payers will needs
pay much of a tax. Public ex-
penses must be met but things
are not so serious as yet that
much is to be dipped out of
the incomes for this particu-
lar tax. However, a lesson
will be taught. "It costs a lot
to live in a civilized community
and it is worth a lot" said a
citizen recently. GAS more
people learn that they are pay
ing for these conveniences and
services they will appreciate
them more and there may be
less clamorous demands for ex-
pensive new public services" "
The old rule still hold good !:
eff you dance, you must pay
the fiddler"

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Attica Qnd.) Observation-Disclosures
to print disagreeable story and when
to leave one out of the paper IS one
of the most troublesome problems OF a
small town editor. In the case OF a
public trust or one who is guilty OF
serious crime, it is not difficult to de-
eide, because the public interest, as well
as the public right to have the news,
demands that it be printed. There are
some cases, however, in which the Of
tense is entirely of a personal nature,
in which publishing the story would
bring sorrow and embarrassment to in
nocent persons without serving any
beneficial purpose. In these the max
ing of a proper decision is often not
easy. If the story is printed, relatives
and friends of the person concerned
will feel that it is necessary; If it is
suppressed the scandal-mongerS will be
disappointed, and many will insinuate
that the editor was bought Off"

Lake Superior Districts
Dominate Iron Mining.

Iron ore production in the United
States during 1887 amounted to ap-
proximately 72,166,OO0 tons. The pro-
duction was almost wholly from the
ranges Of the Lake Superior district,
according to a report of the Bureau
of Mines in Washington.
The report showed an increase Of IL
per cent over 1886 and showed that the
district had shipped the larger part of
the total.
The bureau also pointed out that
labor troubles in midyear, together with
the fourth quarter business recession,
checked the high activities in ore
mining reported during the early
months Of the year.

We forgot to congratulate
w. E. Easton of the Saltwater
Gazette on his S7th birthday
which he spent at his desk in
the newspaper office, doing his
usual excellent work for his
editorial columns. He has been
in the printing game in his
home city for the past 81 years
and has seen the town in all it's
numbering glory with periods of
depression and prosperity. He
has seen about everything and
hopes to pull through the
present so-called recession for
another period of prosperity.
Here's luck, William, and our
hopes are that you will have
many more years of a success
full life along with the Gazette.

Eveleth News-There are about g.
400 900 persons who now pay Federal
income taxes. There are almost exact
~ the same number of state and local
government employees who do not pay
a federal income tax. Many of these,
of course, receive salaries so low that
they would be exempt under the present
income tax laws. The movement, how
ever is strong toward lowering the ex-
emptions and so broadening the tax
base. That would bring a higher por-
ton of salaried state, county and NUM-
cipal employees into the non-income-
tax class.
To the average man, the person on a
state or local government payroll seems
to have privileges enough without this
one. There is no good reason why he
should not pay his share of the cost of
government, like everybody else.

Milaca Times-Drunken drivers who
have their drivers license revoked are
going to find it hard to get a license
to drive again under the present law.
When he applies to the district court
to have his drivers license restored he
is going to hear the judge ask: "Have
you provided financial responsibility
required by law?" And this response
bility requirement consists of bond
or insurance for $4,000 for public liza
bility and property damage. Most
drivers convicted of driving while drunk
will find it hard to furnish such finan-
cial responsibility and thus be deprived
of drivers license the rest of their life.
