What People Say
and Some Side Remarks

Judge Scott c. Lowe. judge Of the
Criminal court, can give testimony
along lines which are not unique or
unusual but still interesting at this
time. He says:
II don't know what We would
do without The Salvation Army"
When DR.. Harry C. Howard asked a
layman ut his church at Wheeling to
occupy the pulpit while DR.. Howard
filled an engagement made at the re
quest OF the Woman's Foreign Mission
AIRY society to preach at Fairmont, the
layman suggested a text: The womei,
amazed us" DR.. Howard could not
find the text after vain search and
examination Of the concordance. He
asked for its location and the layman
directed him to the twenty-second
verse of the twenty.fonrth chapter Of
Luke. The text there Is:
Certain women make us aston
ished."
DR.. Howard used that text in his
sermon at the First Methodist church
Sunday morning,
This reminds some Falrmont people
Of an old woman up at Boothsyille who
said that she received more consola
ton from one verse In the scripture
than anything else. She was asked
what verse and quoted It:

Local Roads to
Benefit by Plan
REDWOOD COUNTY WILL GAIN
ROAD FUNDS THROUGH ADOP-
TION OF AMENDMENT NO. l,
OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW.

Good Roads Amendment No. l is
designed to solve the problem of bet
ter maintaining and improving the
roads of Redwood County without
further increasing taxes or issuing
road bonds as is being done in many
states. The plan will accomplish this,
it is explained, mainly by relieving
the counties of the upkeep of main
highways and placing that heavy ex-
pense on the motor traffic which is
rapidly increasing road requirements.
Friends of the plan present 1920 and
1921 comparisons furnished by the
state highway department in support
of their claims.
Shows Local Gains.
There are 1900 miles of public roads
in this county. The road money this
year includes $S4,794 of county and
$81 ,791 of town taxes; S26,416 of
state and S85,742 of federal aid ais D
$275, 600 of bond revenue.
The grand total is $553,744 and ap-
proximately $444,149 of it is being
spent upon the trunk highways which
are to be taken over by the state.
Thus only $109,595 now is being
SRSllS vi UlS lSSdl ylVdQS.
Under Amendment No. /, however,
there will be available next year about
$308, 191, against the $109,595 figure
this year-a gain of $198,596, without
issuing any bonds.
-. $15,000,000 for Local Roads.
To the larger 1921 fund, county
taxes will yield 100000 township
taxes $4,000, and the state aid will
and probably $26,40O as this year.
The county-town roads will measure
1914 miles when trunk highways are
taken over by the state.
Redwood county will have gained
nearly 100000 for use on the lateral
OF farmer roads, without increases in
road taxes or issuing road bonds.
Altogether, Minnesota road funds
will aggregate 100000 next year,
against less than $17,00O,00O this
year, and steadily increasing amounts
will be provided in succeeding years
under the proposed plan. The state
will have about $10,000,00O a year
for the trunk roads and the counties
and town more than $15,0OO,OOO every
year for local roads exclusively.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-10-06

The benefits to the counties and
towns at once are apparent from the
big gain in funds actually available
friends of the proposal maintain, and
every. road will be made a good road
in short order.
Increases Cash Gifts.
Engineers report that the state by
spending s10,000,000 a year during
the next six years can properly grade,
drain and gravel the entire 1000 mile
state system, and also hard-surface
more than 1900 miles of those carry
ing the heaviest traffic. 1t will be
obliged first to put and keep every
mile of the system in good condition,
and then, as funds permit and accord
ing to traffic demands, to use the sur
plus each year for permanent better
ments.
Redwood county already is receiv-
ing $4,000 of state and federal aid.
Advocates of Good Roads Amendment
No. l claim that the new plan will
on the average double this gift from
the outside. They explain that the
proposal looks too good to be true"
to some citizens, but recall that the
same applied to the Bob Dunn 1-mill
tax amendment The fact is that all
additional funds will come from high
er motor vehicle licenses and federal
aid, and that the automobile and
truck owners generally favor it. Cues
lions about Amendment No. 1 will be
answered in this paper if briefly and
clearly stated.

Farmers
to Solve Problems
NATIONWIDE ORGANIZATION
STARTED ONLY LAST MARCH
ON WELL-TRIED PLAN

Featuring as one of the principal
speakers of the Minnesota State Fair,
the president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation-J. R. Howard, a
s'feet- in the1furrow" farmer of Gle
mons, Iowa-and devoting an entire
day to the work of the Farm Bureau
Federation, attracted to that COM
paratively new organization wide at
tention.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has within period of less
than one year become one of the
greatest movements of the day look
ing to the solution of economic pro-
blems, and particularly to problems
of the farmers.
The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, Mr.. Howard explains, really is
an outcome of the county farm bureau
idea. This latter idea started in Bing-
hamton, New York, about nine years
ago. The Binghamton Chamber of
Commerce had as one of its depart
ments the advancement of the farmer
and the solution of farm problems.
The farmer was rather offish at
first but soon got to meeting in con-
ference with the business people of
Binghamton. The result was a mutu-
al understanding of the memorable
fact that the interests of the farm and
the city are united in a way that it is
impossible to unscramble. Neither
can progress without the other.
The work quickly spread over the
entire county in which Binghamton is
located and soon brought about the
appointment of a county agent. His
duty was to bring expert information
to the aid of the farmers in all crop
growing and other needs.
The movement extended rapidly,
especially in the Southern states, and
