York attending the meeting of the
American Institute of Mining and Met
allurgical Engineers as saying that the
main ore supply of the Lake Superior
district will be exhausted in 35 years
It is quite probable that he was not
quoted as fully as the subject merits
or to do his discussion justice, for Mr.
zapffe is well informed as to the iron
ore situation, past, present and future
and very many people know that the
iron ore industry of the Lake Superior
district has an almost indefinite future
All that will happen as the years roll
by will be that the upward trend of the
percentage of concentrated ore to direct
shipping ore will increase. There seems
to be some confusion of thought over
the iron ore reserves of this district
Some people have the idea that when
the direct shipping ore is exhausted
that the district will be done Even
though there should be no more dis
coveries of direct shipping ore, there
surely will be shipments of it SO years
or more from now. The only difference
as already stated, will be that the per-
centage of concentrated ore will have
become much higher.
It is no stretch of the imagination to
say that the Lake Superior district will
be serving the blast furnaces that now
rely upon it 100 years from now. The
enormous quantities of low grade iron
ore in this district provide the answer
and it is not as if the low grade ores
were an experiment to be taken up after
the direct shipping ore IS presumed to
have been exhausted.
The iron ore concentrates amounted
to 11.1% of total shipments as long ago
as 1918. 1t amounted to 22% in 1886
and some day in years to come it will
have climbed to 500 and then to 1870
and eventually to 1O0,% presumably
Michigan and Minnesota both have
huge tonnages of low grade iron ore,
and the former will have the advantage
when 1t comes to transportation charges
Just how much absurdity exists as to
the 35-year life of the Lake Superior
districts iron ore may be gained by
some references to past estimates For
example, the Minnesota Tax Commits
sion in 1907 took 20-year exhaustion
period for the Mesabi range as basis
for figuring valuations for taxing min
eral properties. The commission that
year estimated the ore reserves of both
the MesaIbi and Vermilion ranges at
1892 100000 in round numbers, and in
1886 the commission still found that
there is 1888, 881 900 tons for those two
ranges on the tax rolls, little more
even than % years before.
There is no thought of criticizing Mr..
zapffe for it is clearly certain that he
was not quoted fully enough to make
his position and that of the great iron
ore district clear. 1t was to be regretted
however, that the article sent out by
the press association did not give few
further vital particulars and not elm
mate it as an iron ore producer after
IS years.

Grand Rapids Herald Review Nearly
every state in the Union is seeking new
industries. There is not an industry in
Minnesota Of any size which has not
been asked to move elsewhere. The
paper industry has been asked to go
South where it is promised large timber
resources, lower wages, lower taxes,
cheaper transportation and a better
climate. Because Minnesota is not in
the center of population in the United
States, every state near that center is
constantly telling Minnesota industries
of their disadvantages and setting forth
their own possibilities.
Every state which is seeking industry
talks about taxes.
The state of Delaware, for instance,
says that it's tax situation is favorable.
In prospectus, which has been cir
culated to industry, Delaware recounts
six taxes which have been either re-
moved or modified and it also promises
changes in other existing taxes.
Half of the states in the Union are
offering tax inducements to new in
duStries.
Because half of the states offer tax
inducements is no sign that Minnesota
should offer them. However, if other
states offer reduced taxes, Minnesota
should go slow in increasing and mag
nifying its present burdens.

Chisholm Miner-Sportsmens organi-
zations and scientists tell us that civil
ization is killing off wild life. 1t de-
stroys the shelters in which the wild
animals flourish, and the food supplies
on which these creatures depend The
rivers are spoiled for fish by the pol
luton of the streams. The scientists
say we must study the needs of these
creatures, and take steps to see that
they get their food, and protection from
their many enemies.
If the birds are destroyed, the United
States will not be able to feed itself,
because insects will destroy the crops.
When we allow the rivers to become
sewers, we abolish one of mans chief
food staples.
1t would be better policy to give the
scientists some money, and let them
see what these wild things need. Then
pass some laws that will let them hive
and flourish, and have those laws en-
forced.

other documents with such regularity
that he is becoming somewhat dazed
with the new order of things. All of
which is leading many to believe that
they should join the avalanche to get
wedged in on the governments payroll
in some capacity, where reports and
contributions are at minimum and
social security is more definite.

YELTON is PLEASED

caily DISPATCH Bureau.


Raleigh, Feb. 2.-1Nathan H. Yelton
sistance, is we'll pleased with the man
ner in which theS program of socia'
security for old ase" assistance and
dependent chi1dren7benefits is working
out. .f.fba '&'.t. .st
His chief fear has been that SO
many seneficiariesa would be put on
the rolls that the average assistance
to each would be so small as to dc
little or no good, Mr.. Yelton said.
Despite the fact that the number Of
old age beneficiarias increased in Jan
uary to 22,526 md the average pay
ment to each ssApped few cents to
1881 each, Mr.. Yelton is-confident tha
the ultimate goal Of the program viii
be reached.
He pointed out that when the pro-
gram was set up it was decided tina
there were funds available to put &c.
800 old age beneficiaries on the list
with the average payment 70 cacf
SLIPS per month
Since actual operation of the pla,
has begun, and more data are avail
able, it is anticipated that the num
Der of old age beneficiaries will reacl
approximately 10000 by the end of tn,
current fiscal year on June Both. Fac!
beneficiariary should be receiving
something like $40 per month, Mr. Vel
ton estimates.

ONCE UPAN FEB. 2
The first person to exploit the theory
that Francis Bacon was the author OF
the plays attributed to William Shakes
peare naturally was person named
Bacon-Delia Salter Bacon. More sur
prisingly she was an American, born
127 years ago today at Tallmadge.
Summit county, Ohio. The Baconian
theory was not born in her mind: the
first doubts about the Bard were ex-
pressed, curiously enough, in a book
about yachting by one j. G. Hart. OBJ
viously the suggestion was something
to fire the imagination of one with
Delia's family name.
She was a claSSmate of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, schoolteacher, a
novelist and a lecturer who had done
nothing particularly noteworthy when
in 1852, she took UP loudly the natur-
ally sensational theory that the most
celebrated reputation in Occidental
literature was phoney. So persuasive
were her arguments that she enlisted
Emerson, Henry James, Henry Wat
terson and Twain among her support
ers on this side, and was equally sue
cessful in gaining adherents abroad
England, where there never had been
the slightest suggestion that Shakes
peare was only a name, also provided
eminent supporters Minister
Palmerston, John Bright, Lord Pen
zance, Sir Edward Durning-Lawrence
among them.
Nub of the argument was that one.

intellect of the time Capable of hav-
ing produced them was Bacon's. All
sorts of circumstantial "evidence" was
presented to bolster this theory.
Miss Bacon gave up her work in
this country, spent some years in
England and devoted the rest of her
life building UP her case. Thomas
Carlyle gave her some encourage
ment and Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote
the preface for one of her Baconian
treatises The result was ironic. In
stead of changing the majority opin-
ion on the authenticity of Shakes
peares reputation she caused a raft
of revelations" in which Shakespeare
was identified as a half dozen other
