WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Virginia Enterprise-Ed. L. Shave,
director of the Minnesota Tourist
Bureau, ST. Paul, estimates that some
where between $4,000 and 100000 will
be needed to put suitable state ex-
hibit in the New York Worlds Fair. It
is noted that Governor Benson has
named a group of prominent persons to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of having Min
nesota represented in the fair, among
them many from st. Louis County. 1t
is observed that practically all of the
men selected for this commission are
business executives. This would indi-
cate that there is at least a little recog-
milton of their value to the state. And,
of course, there is no reason why this
should not be so. AS a matter of fact,
if the people of Minnesota expect this
commonwealth to make progress, they
should begin soon to realize that there
are men of integrity and brains among
the industrial leaders, and that through
cooperation with them the larger well
fare can be advanced.

Something is wrong. Roads
of all kinds are being built into
places of far less Importance
than Ely and the conclusions
arrived at is that our city, the
center of Minnesota tourist &C
tivity, is being Disseminated
against. Why? is the question.
This is a question for our poll
teal friends to answer. Maybe
it's because we vote for the
party in power, anyway, and
our county is safe from politi-
cal standpoint.

Eveleth News-One of the most i'm
portant things that the growing practice
of buying goods on installments has
taught the world is that 80 people out
of 100 keep their promises. That is
important because, before credit began
to be extended to practically everybody,
the markets for almost every kind of
goods were limited to those who saved
up cash enough to pay for them, or who
had property assets which could be
attached if they failed to keep their
promises to pay.
The widespread distribution of all
sorts of commodities in America, things
which used to be considered luxuries
only for the rich and are still so con-
sidered in other countries, is due to the
condition by business men and bankers
of the essential honesty of most people
Over a period of many years it has been
demonstrated that ordinary people of
average incomes will pay their debts
keep their promises sooner or later.
To be sure, there are laws to compel
people to keep their promises, but in
practical experience these are seldom
invoked.
Our whole economic structure is based
on promises, in the final analysis A
man takes job on the employers
promise to pay him a certain sum at
given intervals. He puts his wages in a
bank and gets the bankers promise to
return it to him when he wants it. The
bank lends the money to some one else
who promises to repay it at a certain
time. One buys an insurance policy
Or bond. What he gets is a promise
When the time comes for the promise
to be kept, the fulfillment of it is
usually in the form of another promise
"a piece of paper on which the Federal
Reserve system or the U. S. Treasury
promises to pay a certain sum on de-
mand.
The economic system breaks down
when too large a proportion of people
who have promises find themselves UNI
able to make good. Even then, the
distress is only temporary. The whole
history of our system is that, in the
long run, most promises are kept.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-03-24

Some Grand Marais writer
in the 'Voice of the People" in
Saturdays N T r Id u n e
wanted to know what became
of the campaign (slush) fund
of the Farmer-Labor party, to
which he has been a contribu-
tor. In his letter he stated
that when we consider the
several thousand state en-
ployes directly or indirectly
under the control of the Far
mer-Labor government assessed
from l to 3 per cent of their
earnings, besides club member
dues collected, we kind of hest
tate to add up the totals.
What a staggering sum it will
make in two years."
Rather presumptous on his
part to question the administra-
ton of such funds on the part
of higher-ups who have the
spending in their hands and
demand an accounting. He
wonders why the rank and file
who make the fund possible
never see or have seen, any
statement of accounting of re-
ceipts and disbursement of such
funds. We hope he gets what
he is after. He is not the only
one wondering.

st. Cloud Tinles-The American people
are long suffering and tolerant,
but when conditions become too menac-
ing, they have way of prompt and
effective action. No organization can
long continue in this country that is a
continual disturbing element and whose
main object is to gain power, without
benefit to the public. 1t is the strife
between labor and capital-and there
is blame on both-that is retarding re-
covery, and until there is reached a
sane policy between the two, We are
not going back to good times.

A Kansas man, running a
little hotel and cafe, sends the
state a bill at the rate of $3.50
a day for collecting the two per
cent sales tax and making out
the thousand and one reports
required by the government.
He states that he is compelled
to do the work and that ito
deny him fair compensation for
services rendered is to make
him a victim of involuntary
servitude, which is illegal and
unconstitutional.
He probably will not get very
far. Government is big and
powerful while the individual
is small and weak. With every
thing being made over and the
government requiring more and
more service, he will probably
keep on working for nothing
while the state house is clut-
tered up with employees on the
payrolls, there as we'll as this

Purcell Barker, engineer for
the highway department, asked
those assembled at the Rural
Good Roads association at
Forbes to remember that the
kind of road construction done
today is far superior to that Of
less than two decades ago in
speaking of the road construc-
ton work being done by the
state, in answer to one of the
questions propounded. He
stated that not so much dis
lance can be covered with the
same amount of money. This
