the rural districts. The roads in the
proposed Trunk Highway System ex-
tend through all cities and villages
except cities of the first class Of
which we have only three in the
State, namely: Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth. The tax records show
that Is per cent of all automobiles,
turned in for taxes, were owned in
side these three cities and not q
single penny of the money derived
from the license fees paid by these
automobile owners can be spent in
side the city limits. Sixty per cent
of all the automobiles in the State are
owned inside the incorporated city
and village limits Of the State, leav-
ing 40 per cent that are owned in
the rural districts. Less than 10 per
cent of the 1000 miles of road, in
the Trunk Highway System, is with
in the city and village limits and
not one foot inside the limits of
cities of the first class. Therefore
80 per cent of the total receipts of
are owned inside the city and village
limits must be spent in the rural
districts in addition to the total re-
ceipts of the 40 per cent that are
owned in the rural districts.
Many people have asked-"Why
bother with the amendment" why
not increase the automobile license
fee and credit the receipts to the
road fund.-" That is the very
thought I had in mind and con-
sidered submitting to the Legislature
at one time, but, was advised by
the Tax Commission and the Attor-
mobile license fee were increased
very much over and above what it is
at the present time, it would cease
to be a license and become a tax, as
a license fee is held to be a fee for
police protection and regulation, and
if the receipts from motor vehicle
license fees materially exceed the
amount necessary, for such protec-
ton and regulation, it ceases to be a
license and becomes a tax. Conse-
quently, the receipts derived there
from would have to go into the gen
eral fund instead Of the road fund );
because, under the Constitution of
this State, the only tax that can go
into the road fund is the one mill
tax, which is, in itself a constitution
al amendment.
So when I decided to urge this
auto tax, took it up with business
men in the cities because I knew

that the cities would have to pay
40 per cent of this tax and would
not get any of the money. I
learned that the cities were consider
ing putting a wheelage tax on autos
in order to help pay for the paving
of city streets. So the city men said
to me, ''Why should we bump along
over our city streets that need paw
ing and spend our auto tax money in
the country" I told them that if
they would put two speedometers on
their cars and measure the distances
they drive in the city and the dis
lance they drive in the country, they
would find that they did most of their
driving in the country, and they ad-
mitted that that was true, and I be-
lieve that the average city man
drives ten miles in the country to
one in the city.
So l say they should help build
these country roads, and they will
help build the feeder roads too, be-
cause they will pay the big share of
the one mill tax land also the very
people in the country who live along
the state roads will receive not one
penny from the present state road
fund which they will help to pay,
but all of what they pay will also
be spent on the feeder roads.

PASS AMENDMENT
CONTINUED from Page ~

CONTINUED from Page ~
State road mileage.
Forty-two per cent of the taxes of
the state are paid by the three coun-
ties of Hennepin, Ramsey and ST..
Louis, and the result is that the
present one mill tax yields more
money to every county of the state
except these three than it takes from
a county. All but three counties re-
ceive more money than they pay.
We have no state roads at present.
Certain roads on which the money
from the one mill tax is spent are
called estate roads" but they are not.
The county commissioners say what
will be done with every penny of the
money, and the only thing the state
does is approve the plans and super
wise the work. If the trunk high
way system is established those roads
will be state roads, and nothing but
state money will be spent on them
Stevens county will have So miles OF
the trunk highway or state roads, be-
sides 1903 miles of county roads
the balance of the 500 miles being
township roads.
Now tell you that I favor Amend
ment No because I want to help
build up these feeder roads, and il
the amendment passes we are going
to leave every penny of the state
aid, every penny of the county aid
and every penny of the township
road funds right here in Stevens
county to be spent on the county and
township roads, and we will take
over the entire expense of the So
miles of state roads. If it's wrong
for the state to take over these roads,
then it is wrong for the county to
take over the county roads, and all
road building should be left to the
townships.
The roads which I propose to take
over for the state now get 80 cents
out of every dollar of state aid, and
the feeder roads get 20 cents out
of every dollar, but what I am pro-
