Respected Old Resident
Vas Buried MOnday

The funeral of Edward Smith St.
Louis County mining inspector since
1917, resigning February of this year,
was held at Eveleth Monday after
noon from the First Lutheran church.
He died on Saturday after brief
illness.
Mr. Smith mas born in Vasa, Fin
land, in 1886. He came to this country
and entered the mining business at
the Colby mine at Bessemer, Mich. He
came to Soudan in 1888 and was en-
ployed at the mines there until remov-
ing to Eveleth.
He was a conscientious worker as
mine inspector and was well known
and respected in the mining district
of the county
Surviving are daughter, two sons
and six grandchildren.

once a government bureau gets an
appropriation of a certain amount, the
tendency always is to increase that
amount and any move to cut 1t al
ways runs into vigorous opposition.
Cuts in government expenditures must
be made in specific items, and when
ever you try to cut specific item,
the bureau and various groups having
a special interest in that particular
item rally to its support and fight
hard against any cut.
On the other hand, the advocates
of government economy, and they are
many. usually confine themselves to
generalities, simply advocating an
overall reduction, without specifying
what items are to be cut and how
much.
The result is that there is only a
half hearted general pressure for econ
omy, but vigorous and pointed OPP
position to any specific reductions.
All of which leads to the conclusion
that the only possible way of ever
achieving a real reduction In govern
ment appropriations is for majority
of legislators to agree beforehand on
policy of flat percentage reduction
in all appropriations and all items
and then stick to it against all op-
position. The city of st. Paul did that
some years ago and the state legisla-
ture did it one year. In both instances
it was found that the great majority
of bureaus and divisions got along
quite well on the reduced appropria-
ton. In the few instances where the
cut worked a real hardship, no ir-
reparable damage was done in single
year and the next year the appropri.
alton for that particular service wa:
increased after the bureau had proven
its need.
I am convinced that only by some
such method that the federal expendi
lures for normal services will ever b'
! reduced substantially. And it is m.
own personal opinion that plenty o
these non-defense agencies could TAX
a Is or SO per cent reduction and nj
one except the excess employees lait
off would ever know the difference
In fact, the efficiency of some agencie
might be increased, as employees woul
not be getting in each others wa
and figuring out new kinds of re-
tape to justify their employment a
at present.
The compromise on Argentine bee
purchases for the army and nav
actually leaves the door fairly wild
open to such purchases. 1t provide
that food and clothing supplies mus
be produced in the United States un
less the department head finds tina
supplies here are insufficient, are nc
of satisfactory quality or are unreason
ably priced.
There is some comfort, however,
! the fact that the department head wi
; have to say specifically which of tn
! three reasons prompts him to go out
! side this country for supplies.

to continue in the good work shall
number many kind deeds done for
me by Ely's enterprising citizens also
regret to say that I could name a few
who make it point to attend other
peoples business in preference to their
own. This latter class are not known
as enterprising citizens and word
! of warning should be suficiet to in
duce them to quit their meddlesome
gossip and get back into the ranks
with the civilized people. The Times

the management of Mr.. ROBBIE and
will continue as worthy champion
of the city's interests"
