lumber companies of the Flour City
sent out a letter stating that there
was not any good reason for lumber
prices being increased for a period of
at least ninety days and building
operations started with vim. By
their act the lumbermen stabilized
the market and rendered a marked
service to the northwest.

hard surfaced roads in Minneso-
ia, as proposed. The matter of
the amount of the tax per car has
never been settled and will not be
settled until the people have pas
sed upon the merits of the main
question. After the amend
ment is adopted, if it is adopted,
the legislature will be called up
on to enact a law fixing the
amount of tax to be paid per car.
1t has never been suggested
either by Commissioner Babcock,
or by any other person connected
with the movement, that a Ford !
should bear any undue proportion
of the tax. Those who can pro-
duce the best and fairest plan
of raising the money will be
asked to present those plans to
the legislature at the proper time
for consideration.
The legislature, following the ap-
proval by the people of the constitu,
tional amendment, will by Legislation
fix the amount of licenses to be paid
by automobile owners. The plan
which will be submitted by the High
way Commissioner, will be to make a
graduated scale, to be determined on
three factors: The horse power, the
cost of the car, the weight of the
car. This has been tentatively work
ed out by the commissioner, with the
result that the average yearly license
will be around the $18 mark. On this
proposed schedule the owner of a
Ford will pay about $40, and the
owner of a Packard will pay about
$40. These are the extremes, and
other types of automobiles will come
between the two. The average car
of $500 class will probably pay about
$25 year. 1t is going to be square
deal all around. The Wadena man
was probably misled by the statement
that the average license fee would be
$18, and he must have reasoned tina
all cars pay the same, which is a
wild mistake.
The entire expense of building
these seven thousand miles of paved
will be paid by the auto
mobile owners, and they will all save
more each year than they pay by saw
ing in gasoline, tires, and general up
keep of their cars, and the much
longer life of their automobiles. The
man who does not own an automobilc
will not pay a cent towards the cost
of these highways.

Automobile Association, when at St
Cloud recently, made the exceiier
suggestion, that advocates of bette

GET 1T RIGHT.

The following from the Wadens
Pioneer-Journal is of general Interest
as it points out some misleading
statements that may be urged against
the ratification of the Babcocl
amendment:
One of our local celebrities is
arguing in print that the BAD
cock road Plan will not do, mas.
much as it charges the farmer
more for his Ford, in proportion,
than it does the plutocrat for his
Packard. The person should look
up his facts before exposing his
ignorance. The proponents of
the Babcock plan of better roads
state that an average annual tax
of $18 per car will provide the
necessary funds to insure the
carrying out of the plan for

CRITICAL DAYS AHEAD.

The serious minded American is
worried over the problems which con-
front this country now that peace has
been signed.
The spirit of unrest is apparently
growing and it will take more than
a lot of high sounding platitudes
and promises to bring conditions back
to safe and sane basis.
Ever since the opening of hostili-
ties in 1914 the CRATER and profteer
have reaped a heavy toll from long
suffering public.
Advance in prices in all commodi-
ties was inevitable; this condition has
necessitated increased wages for la
Dor. Labor makes up big proper
ton of most commodities used, but
the increase in wages has not been
in keeping with the exorbitant and
criminal prices demanded by manu-
facturers for their wares.
The unrest exhibited by all classes
has made fertile field for the spread
of the radical propaganda which if
carried into effect will spell the
downfall of the greatest nation in the
world.
Fer many years to come Europe
will demand every surplus article the
United States can spare, whether in
farm produce or manufactured
articles. The law of supply and de-
mand will keep prices above the
normal level, but the profteer in
every branch is criminal of the
vilest sort and congress should devise
some means, and at once, of making
him disgorge his ill-gotten wealth
extolted from the great mass Of COM
llon people. The American people
stood for these things in war time
because they felt it was their patrio-
tic duty and were willing to make
the necessary sacrifice to keep their
beloved country on an even keel.
Most of the small business men of
the country are making less monoy
today than they were before the
world war. They are at the mercy
of the manufacturer and jobber and
must pass on the added burden to
the consumer. In order to meet the
additional cost of living the wage
Garner must have more pay-this
means another bump in the prices
charged by the manufacturer for his
wares, but the perc entage of increase
is always greater than that paid
labor. ...... g..
d.. At the present time a pair of shoes
which used to cost SIS per pair, is
sold for in the neighborhood of SIS
and the report has been given out
that within a few months this prize
will be increased to $40. Is it any
wonder that the common people are
restless and listening to propaganda
that would not be tolerated in normal
times?
Of all the profteers and grafters
the average organizer of the farmer
and labor is perhaps the worst. They
are taking advantage of the existing
conditions and are only interested in
the farmer and laboring man to the
extent that he can be filched.
Higher prices are caused by the
yeneral sentiment in any branch that
"prices are bound to go higher" with
"hn rnsrl't that the jobbers and manu-
facturers set the screws just little
tighter on the consumer.
For time the building industry of
Minneapolis was at standstill be-
cause of the uncertainty of price con"
ditions. A few weeks ago the big

the great trunk lines to be paved,
and devote their energies to explain
ing the immense benefit to the people
living off these roads, because when
the Babcock plan is accepted, each
county will receive as much as it now
gets under the Dunn law for good
roads, and this money will then be
expended on the other roads in ea,
county which do not under present
conditions get any direct benefit from
this state tax.
To illustrate this point once more:
Stearns county under the Babcock
plan will have 160 miles of pave
highways. These roads will be taken
over by the state on January l., 1922
and the roads will be maintained and
paved, without any cost whatever to
the Stearns county taxpayers. The
county is probably spending about 80
per cent Of its road money on thesr
highways, because they are the most
important highways in the county,
having the most travel, and must be
maintained.
Once the county is relieved of this
great expense, the money can be used
on other roads, and this means good
roads, maintained by the state and
county, which do not at the present
time get any attention from the
state and county. Thus it is clear
that the Babcock plan is the only one
which will give the farmers, not on
the state highways, good roads. I'm
less the Babcock plan is adopted
there is no immediate hope of giving
the county as whole good system
of we'll maintained highways. The
farmers residing off the present state
highways who want good roads are
just as much interested in support
ing the Rabcock amendment as are
those living on the line of the roads
to be paved.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.

AS the result Of an adverse, de-
cison in court brought by minority
stockholders in the Ford Motor Com
pany compelling Henry Ford to dis
tribute about eighteen million dol
lars Of undivided profits, Mr.. Ford
has withdrawn from the Ford Motor
Co. as president and been succeeded
by his son, Edsel Ford.
Mr.. Ford has announced that he
and his son will start new auto
plants and manufacture new car,
up-to-date in design, which will sell
at from $200 to $500.
Mr.. Ford owns the controlling in
terest in the Ford Motor Company
and will distribute to himself about
twelve million dollars of the sur

Motor Company, with Ford building
a new car in competition with him

This is the first time in the history
of big business that majority stock
