TAG YOUR SHOVEL" DAY ...>-
FOR NORTH DAKOTA URGED
BY FUEL DICTATOR BAKER

unfortunate enough to be down with
the measles or mumps Or something
will be on the job January 80, for
Uncle Sam.
Fuel Administrator Baker points to
this tag day as different from all 9th
or tag days. Instead of asking for
cash contributions, the school chill
dren will demand that householders
save money-save money for food, for
war savings stamps, for liberty bonds
and at the same time add to the gov
ernment's coal pile.
A million carloads Of coal more than
ever were taken out of the ground in
this country in a single year were
mined and delivered in 1917 Another
million carloads were needed, but no
human power could make SO sudden
an increase in production, where the
bare physical requirements were or
so vast scale. But the necessities
of the war cannot wait, and the Amerl-
can people must face typical Ameri-
can problem, meeting and satisfying
an unl1eard increase in demand for
coal with adequate facilities for Great
ing increased supply.

i've charge of the administration of
the state highway fund, that they
should eXpend the same for the diff
ferent items outlined above and that
they might include automobiles to be
used by the engineers and also any
machinery needed for road work.
Further, that the ten per cent OF
the fund which it states shall be
spent in the discretion Of the state
highway commission means that ten
per cent of said fund can be spent
anywhere in the state where the state
highway commission feels that main
road, or other work, is needed most,
and that the said ten percent is not
in any way limit of the amount OF
the fund which the state highway COM
mission shall expend.
with reference to the 80 per cent
which the law states shall be spent by
the said commission in the several
counties in proportion to the amount
collected therein, it is my opinion
that the items mentioned above. which
ere necessarily spent in doing the pre-
liminary work and laying out roads in
the different counties is in reality
money spent therein. 1t is further my
opinion that the state highway COM
mission has full authority to antici-
pate that it's program shall extend for
period of three years or more, and
prepare blue prints, etc, in accord
ance with these plans"

Tile attorney general, at the request

which he holds the law was enacted
specifically to enable the state to take
advantage Of the federal aid guaran-
teed under the Shackleford post roads
bill.
investigation has disclosed to me-"
writes the attorney general, that ap-
proXimately $94, 900, has been credited
to the state highway commission, all
of said money coming from sources
within the state, and not consisting OF
any federal aid, and that Of this
amount approximately $4,000 has
been spent in addition to the $4,000
provided for in Section 8, and the
question arises whether or not the
state highway commission has the
authority to spend more than ten per
cent of said fund of $4,000 at its dis
erection. 1t is my opinion that the $S,'
900 provided for in Section 8 was to
be used for the purpose OF immediate,
ly organizing the state highway com
mission and performing all necessary
preliminary work, purchasing sup
plies, office and field equipment, and
securing assistance. Inasmuch as an
emergency clause was attached tc
this chapter, it evidently was the in
tention Of the legislature to have thu
$4,000 spent Immediately after the
session adjourned, so that full advant.
age could be taken Of federal aid.
81 understand the federal aid for
1916, 1917 and 1918 will total approx
imately somewhat less than one-half
million dollars. The state and counties
will have to spend an equal amount,
all of which must be spent under the
supervision of the state highway COM
mission. 1t is evident that with this
tremendous amount of money to be
spent upon. the highways that much
work aNticipatory to said expenditure
must be done.
1T was obvious that after the $4,000
as provided for in Section 8 was eX-
pended that salaries. travelling en-
penses, postage, supplies, equipment
for both field and office work, furni-
ture and fixtures, printing, telegraph
and telephone charges, drayage, en-
press and freight charges and other
miscellaneous items would still con-
tinue, and it is my opinion that the
legislature contemplated that the
same should continue and that same
should be considered in part as the
expenses of the state highway COM
mission and in part should also be
considered as part of the states por-
ton in the cost of properly maintain
