Campaigns In
i. S. Different
From England
BY CHARLES y. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, Aug. 23.-If our poll
tical system were more like England's
there could be no doubt of President
Roosevelt's right to get out among
the voters, here, there and everywhere
campaigning for his kind of congress
ional candidates.
Maybe it's all right here, too, but
it's rightness is disputed.
There the property of such cam
paigning is unquestioned.
Frequent Elections.
England has what we would call a
national election once in every seven
years, whether or no. However, it can
have them at much briefer intervals.
In fact. it generally does have one
oftener than that. Seldom does an adj
ninistration last for a full septem-
mum without one, to test it's popu-
larity.
Assume that there has just been an
English election.
The recognized leader of the win
ming party Immediately is appointed
prime minister, post corresponding
to our presidents. He has parlia-
mentary majority behind him, and
for a while, everything is lovely.
A Split Begins.
But assume farther that the prime
minister's party gradually begins tc
split. as has occurred in this country.
Saw that he was elected as liberal,
head of a liberal parliamentary ma
iority. But later considerable num-
ber of the erstwhile liberals begin to
vote conservatively, just as quite q
block of our anti-New Deal Democrats
have taken to voting with the Repub-
licanS.
Presently it becomes doubtful that

Weinberg Tells of
Pay-Offs to I amnany
Leader in icy
Game In New York

Washington, Aug. 3.-(AP)-Capi
tai politicians were discussing today
the question of whether Democratic
Chairman James Farley would aid in
dependent races for reelection by
Senator Pope, of Indiana, and Repre-
sentative Maverick, of Texas.
Pope and Maverick, full-fledged
Roosevelt hackers, suffered narrow
defeats in in Democratic primaries.
Farley Immediately afterwards gave
the winners the usual pledges of or
ganization assistance in the fall cam
paigns, and since then has made no
comment.
Some of the Presidents lieutenants,
however, have urged the two legislat-
ors to run as Independents. Both men
conferred with President Roosevelt
during the last few days at Hyde
Park. Pope said afterwards he would
not reach a decision until he returns
to Idaho.
Explains Farm Groupings
Meanwhile, an Agriculture Depart
ment report explained why a group
CT southern states were grouped in
the eastern area which will receive
one of the four agricultural research
laboratories authorized by Congress.
Division of the nation into four "ma-
jor farm producing areas" for the
purpose of establishing one laboratory
in each region was based in part, 1T
was said, on general consistency with
the regional set-up under the AAA.
The seven states in the AAAs east
central division, which includes such
southern commonwealth as Tennes-
see, North Carolina and Virginia,
were grouped with the nine states in

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-02-17
On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Sometime ago it was stated
in the press that Alfred P.
Sloan, president of General
Motors, was the highest paid
man in the country. 1t was
stated that his income for 1887
was $561,311, quite a present
able salary. The press did not
tell that the government
stepped in and took $351,314
of that for federal tax and on
top of that his state collected
$44,654. With the $165,343
left, we do not think Mr.. Sloan
starved to death. Seventy per
cent is big slice to take out of
any income and it is a source
of congratulation that there are
people with sufficient salary
able to pay seventy per cent in
taxes, saving the general tax
payers just that much.

two days last week in connection with
the Federal Deposit Insurance for the
proposed new Security State Bank of

for F. D. I. had been turned down with
the statement that Ely could not sup
port another bank, or words to that eff

Few visitors to the Washington
monument have seen the 100-ounce
pyramid of pure aluminium which
caps this famous 555-foot structure
in the nations capital. This rare
picture was taken in 1894 when the
monument was cleaned and over
hauled.
Costing 81, 100000, the monument
was started in l848, was left unfin-
ished when the nation entered the
Civil war, and was finally dedicated
on February 81, 1885. The capstone
the peak of which is shown below
the aluminium pyramid, weighs $500
pounds. It's placement was an un-
usual engineering accomplishment.

its peak bathed in a bright light
that makes it visible for miles.
