WOULD INCREASE
TAX ON GASOLINE

The 1927 state legislature will be
asked to pass law authorizing an
increase in the state gasoline tax of
one cent per gallon and for other
Legislation tending to help county
commissioners in their duties, it was
decided when resolutions recommend
ing that legislation were adopted at
The closing session of the nineteenth
annual county commissioners associa-
ton convention in Fargo Thursday.
In adopting the gas tax resolution,
an argument was staged by many of
the commissioners, several desiring to
have the resolution recommend an in
crease of two cents. Finally, however,
the resolution was adopted in it's orig
inal form, recommending that the
state tax on all gasoline except that
used for farm purpose, be increased
from on cent to two cents per gallon.
The resolution was the result of an
address before the convention by H.
G. Frahm, chief engineer of the state
highway commission, in which the,
commissioners learned that the funds
III tHe highway depaEtInenC at Lne pre-
sent time are insufficient to provide
durable roads.
It was pointed out that maintenance
of county poor farm has been an
expensive proposition in each Of sew
eral counties and that it would be
cheaper and more convenient for two
orimore counties to cooperate in MAIN
tanning one poor farm for the resi-
dents Of the several counties. A mo-
ti1iis - ask the 1S777 ieKfsiasttu1e 1Ursssssss
law giving two or more counties per-
mission to establish such joint poor
farm was passed.
In another resolution adopted it was
decided to recommend to the legisla-
ture that the body discontinue to pro-
vide new laws for the purpose Of di-
viding delinquent taxes and interest
on them with subdivisions Of the vari-
Gus counties and that the legislature
enact Legislation allowing the money
to be placed in the general county
funds. 4

WOMEN OF NORTHWEST
FAMED FOR SMALL FEET
-. SHOE DEALERS DECLARE

Women of the Northwest have the
smallest and trimmest feet and an
kles and buy the best shoes of any
section Of the country.
Such is the declaration of more
than 500 retail shoe dealers Of the
Northwest, who conducted their an
nual convention last week at the Rad
isson hotel, Minneapolis.
The demand of the Northwest, the
shoemen say, is a distinct factor in
setting the shoe styles Of the United
States and the world.
Novel styles and colors and decora-
tions may come from Paris, they
maintain further, but 1t takes Ameri-
can leather and American craftsman
ship to turn out real stylish shoes.
The exhibitors predicted wild"
shoe year, with novel footwear Of
much color, fancy decorations and
spiked heels. :.
"From GO to Is per cent Of women's
shoes this year will be patent leather"
another exhibitor declared. "Also,
high heels are getting higher. The
demand is for 2 1-2 inch heels but
there will be many 3-inch heels sold,
!too.n.,
"Women Of the Northwest have the
best shaped feet in the world" was
the statement made at the convention
today. This is known to be true
because there IS more demand in the
Northwest than anywhere else for
narrow shoes. which mean shapely
feet and ankles"

Oregon Critic Not Able to
Appreciate Soul ptor's Conception
Of Roosevelt Equestrian Statue

In the public press appears criti-
cism- Of the Proctor equestrian statue
Of Roosevelt, the original Of which is
in the State Historical Society mus
cum at Bismarck, N. D., by ex-gov-
ernor West. of OREGON.
The ex-governor tries to deal in .
little pleasantly when he is quoted as
saying the animal on which Teddy is
mounted has the 'front legs Of . g.
raffe. the neck Of q stallion, and . tail
like q fern. No horse ever had such
crooked hind legs, and Teddy would
object strenuously could he come back
and see the mount he has been given"
I do not know Governor West or
what his experience with horses has
been, but do know that the criticism
comes from one who is no artist and
does not see the finer lines Of horse
action. The sculptor sees much moro
than the ordinary person, else he can
be no sculptor.
Roosevelt as a rough rider must be
a man Of action and his mount must
also tipify action, energy and victory.
Statues are erected only to victors.
The governor wouldn't want Roosevelt
cat the end Of the trail" The artist
properly embodies the rider and
mount in an attitude Of action, not in
repose or static. To do otherwise is
to do violence to the subject, the artist,
and the proper historical motif behind
the statue.
# the governor will study the de-
tails of.the statue and try to conceive
chat Roosevelt has come hurriedly on
spirited army horse to the top Of a
hill where he gets first view Of the
enemy, he will catch the motive Of the
sculptor. Look at the horses ears,
manifesting as much mingled fear and
surprise ct what he sees rs Roosevelt
does concern. The horses ears 60

WHEAT SALES
HAVE INCREASED

Minneapolis, Jan. 20.-There has
been. practically no feature whatever
in either the cash or futures market
since our letter to you Of week ago.
Receipts have run along a little heav-
Ter than the trade had expected, and
just a little heavier than the market
could readily absorb at firm prices.
Tho result has been very heavy

sell except at lower prices.
All things considered, the demand is
still fairly good and the market shows
some improvement on days Of light
receipts, but loses it all again when
receipts are a little heavier. Possibly
this condition win continue until re-
ceipts get very perceptibly lighter
and stay that way for a while, or un-
til some outside demand for flour and
wheat brings some new buying into
the market again.
There is a good general demand for
all barley offerings; the choice quality
selling to maltsters. with elevator and
feed buyers taking the medium and
low grades. Receipts have been fair
ly good and prices firm and unchanged
with O closing range at 54c to &C.
The oat market continues quiet with
Minneapolis May closing today at Al
Ia cents. Receipts light with elevator
buyers taking the bulk Of the offer
ings on the basis Of 2 1-2c under May
for the No. 8 White grade.
Corn receipts have increased slight
~. with the bulk Of the offerings still
showing light test weight and heavy
moisture; grading mostly No. and
lower. The futures markets have de-
clined somewhat since our last letter,
with Chicao May closing today at
"a 3-8 cents.
Rye receipts continue light with q
small percentage showing real fancy
milling quality. The heavy test weight

millers. selling &c under the May OPP
ton, which closed today at $1.02 3-4.
Flax futures continue weak in tone

Congress Faces Important Issues

Congress is beset with many inn
portant issues and will be for some
weeks to come. The senate is strug-
Cling with the filibuster that has been
S1Meed against tho world aouxt and. the
debate On the tax bill. Much valuable
time is being wasted and Vice Presi-
dent Dawes is impatient and telling
the people over the radio Of the fool
ish delays and placing the blame
where it belongs.
In the house business is moving
freely. The tax bill was passed
quickly, the foreign settlement argued
and debated and several agreed to, the
appropriation Of $4,000 asked by the
president to defray the expenses Of
our representatives to a worlds con-
ference as to q peace commission to
bring about peace among the nations
was approved and arguments are now
being had on the appropriation bill
for the navy.
The House committee on agricul-
ture is holding meetings every day
and giving hearings to many men
prominent as economists, and students
Of the farm problems. Mr.. Moves Of
st. Paul presented his plan for the
imposition of an excise tax on produc-
tion and the payment Of a bounty on
exports and MI. Vrooman of Bloom
ington, Illinois, spoke on the establish
n,ent Of q foreign credit board. tits
likely that measure embodying these
ideas will be worked out by the COM
nittee:
Chairman Haugen of the House
committee on agriculture expects to
report the cooperative marketing bill
out for action on the floor early next
week.
The obstacles to cooperation in any
basic industry are the obstacles to co.
operation found in all branches Of or
ganized labor. Whether the industry
is coal, textiles, steel, the theater or
government. Detailed problems may,
and do, differ, but the fundamental OBJ
stacles to the solution Of such, prob
lens appear to be the same the world
over. The solution to any detailed
problem, as q consequences, hinges
Z upon clearer understanding Of these
basic obstacles, and the farmers who
really desire government advice and
help in the solving Of their problems
can get it under this law.
