its district engineers, to see that the
provisions of the law are complied with.
Each State authority has worked out a
system and, in general, it is being fol-
lowed in the development Of projects
and the construction of roads. In a
number of instances systems in general
terms have been adopted by State leg
islatures. OF course, in formulating
these systems, the engineers gave due
regard to interstate connections that
is, to roads connecting the system Of
one State with that of another and it
is difficult to see why, as progress is
made, the construction of through
roads will not follow as matter of
course"
No Gain Apparent from Change.
In conclusion, Mr.. Houston expresses
the conviction that nothing material
would be gained by the proposed change,
on the contrary, much would be lost.
He says: CAS- has been pointed out,
many complications would be intro
duced. The creation of a commission
would entail unnecessary additional
administrative expenditures, and the
commission could not do anything that
can not now be done more effectively
by the existing cooperative machinery.
There would also be radical change of
policy. do not think that the people
of the States will be willing to substitute
for the present policy Of developing
roads on the principle Of serving the
largest economic purposes that policy
advocated by those whose interest is
IN two main or trunk-line automobile
roads in each State, nor do l think
that they would be willing, even if it
were legal or practicable, to have exist
ing funds diverted from the present or
contemplated projects, worked out with
the aid OF the State highway depart
ments, solely to the construction of
such roads. The largest service will be
rendered not only to farmers but, in the
long run, also to urban people by follow
ing the principle Of constructing roads
Of the greatest economic Importance,
selected after careful consideration by
the State agencies having. adequate
knowledge and approved by the Fed
eral department. 1t seems to me clear
also that as the work proceeds we shall
have roads which will be equally SER
viceable not only to those interested
Immediately in long-distance automobile
travel and motor-truck transportation,
but also to those interested in getting
their farm produce to the market in
the easiest and the most effective manner
and in the transportation of the mails"

new HEALTH BODY
FOR BROWN COUNTY
PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED AT SLEEPY
EYE, SATURDAY
GENERAL SURVEY TO BE MADE
THROUGHOUT COUNTY IN
NEAR FUTURE

The Brown County Public Health
ASSOCIATION was permanently organized
at meeting held last Saturday at
Sleepy Eye. L. J. HOLSTER of Spring
field was elected president of the new
organization and F. M. Bane, County
Agent, was elected secretary. This
meeting had been called because of
the limited attendance at a former
meeting, on May Fl, when it was de-
clded to organize only temporarily and
to hold a meeting later to. complete the
permanent organization The terrible
ram storm on Saturday prevented
many health enthusiasts from surround
ing cities and villages from being present
at the meeting but those in attendance
were in favor Of perfecting the organiza-
tlon and declared themselves against fur
ther postponement. No New Ulm repre-
sentatlyes were present at the meeting
although it is known that quite a few
of our citizens are interested in this
movement and heartily endorse the
steps taken at Sleepy Eye.
Survey To Be Made.
One OF the first undertakings of the
new organization will be to make gem
eral survey Of health conditions in all
parts OF the county. $500 is availa BILE
/ at present for public health work in the
county, and part Of this money will
, be used for the work indicated. Later
on 1t may be possible to bring trained
nurse to the county, at least for limited
period OF time. It was pointed out at
the meeting that nurses at present are
very scarce. This may make it necessary
to get a nurse from the Twin Cities
! when the proper time comes.
Miss Vera Strickler Director.
Miss Vera Stricken of New Ulm is
one OF the three directors elected at the
meeting last Saturday The other two
are Mrs. Ora Trautman, Comfrey,
and Mrs. A. Norman, Hanska.
History of Association.
In this connection it may be of interest
to learn something about the history
OF the Minnesota Public Health As
ISOLATION of which the new organization
in Brown County is part. The state
association was established in 1914,
being organized from the Minnesota
Association for the prevention and
relief of tuberculosis, which latter
had existed for eight or ten years and
had done excellent propaganda work.

curing the County Sanatorium. Law

MINNESOTA LEADER PRINTS
NAMES OF MEN FIGHTING
FARMERS LEAGUE =.

alta cking the Nonpartisan league farmers
have been made in St. Paul this week.
The Minnesota Leader, official state
paper of the farmers organization, pub
fishes letter from Tom Parker Junkin,
head of the Reliance Publicity bureau,
to Charles E. Patterson of St. Paul, CIV
ing details Of the Junkin plan for con-
trolling the local press.
In this letter, written on January 2,
1917, Junkin brings out that $150,000
will be needed for 10 months expenses
and that, in addition, big advertising
contracts from business interests op-
posed to the farmers would be necessary.
The Leader had charged at the time the
Reliance Publicity bureau was formed
that slush fund Of 100000 had been
secured by the parties working under
this camouhage, and is statement proves
to have been short By at least $4,000.
Who Principals Are.
A second exposure showing who were
the principals in the Reliance Publicity
scheme, is in the form of court action
brought by Clarence F. Johnson who
claims that $500 is still due him on salary
account, and his suit is brought against
the following men:
Charles Patterson, St. Paul fnancier
Oliver Crosby, managing partner in
the American Hoist & Derrick company,
St. Paul.
Cyrus P. Brown, president Of the First
National bank OF St. Paul.
John R. Mitchell, president of the
Capital National bank Of St. Paul
Eli S. Warner, standpat politician
Of state printing fame and treasurer Of
the McGill-Warner Printing company.
Many Papers Started.
Johnson gives these men as his en-
ployers when he was manager and alleges
that they owe him $500. The same
men are undoubtedly the principals
hiding behind the Reliance Publicity
bureau which apparently took the place
Of the so-called "Nonpartisan League"
an organization started by the anti
farmer elements of the Cities. The
similarity Of its name with that Of the
real farmer organization in the state
was used as an easy means to deceive
the farmers. The same is true in regard
to its publication, the Minnesota Non
partisan, the last issue OF which was
published Dec. l, 1919. But this and
other camouhage papers which later on
took its place, failed to make an impress
sion on farmers or workers and now
another elaborate magazine is being
issued under the name OF america
First Thus far two issues Of this
magazine have appeared.
1t is thus proved beyond doubt that
the various organization names used
against the League farmers were merely
disguise for large special interests in
the Twin Cities, and that huge funds
have been raised to check1nate the
farmers effort to better his condition
through organization.

the most perilous incidents of this
