CLA|M TAXES NOT PAID PLANS SALE OF SPUDS|
Federal Collectors Probe Return
Of Soft Drink Parlors In
State
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.]

lASSOCldteu PrPSS DISPATCH
st. PaulS August 1.-THE drive in
augurated by internatal revenue col
lectors in Minnesota. to exact the
payment Of the whole tax on ice
cream and soft drinks paid by the
public and not returned to the gov
eminent, resulted in the payment
during July OF $4,000.
A. r. Knox, cashier in the collec-
tors office said today that in addi-
ton to the $4,000. the checking up
process has revealed $4,000 more
which the dealers are disputing and
which will be assessed against them.
1t is estimated that since the law
went into effect at least 100000 has
been paid by the public to the deal
ers and has not been turned in to the
government.
The big discrepancies are not due
to any attempt to defraud the gov
eminent on the part Of the proprie-
tors but has been largely the result
of lax methods of accounting and
carelessness on the part of some of
the young men in charge Of soda
fountains. The total internatal rev.
enue receipts for Minnesota during
July were $2,914,277.78.

PLACE GUIDE MARKS
Lincoln Highway VIII Be Chartered
From Coast To Coast.

From Coast To Coast.
Detroit, Mich, August 12.-tBy
The Associated Pressl-Before next
winter comes enameled steel mark
ers will have been placed at every
confusing turn and crossroads on
the Lincoln Highway from New
York to San Francisco, making what
is said to be the longest highway IN
the world with such guide marks, ao-
cording to announcement from head
quarters of the Lincoln Highway
Association here. The road from
Omaha to San Francisco already
has such markers and work OF mark
ing the highway from New York to
Omaha now is in progress. The task
should be completed some time IN
November, 1t is reported.
The Lincoln Highway is 1928
miles long. 1t passes through Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, Canton, o., Fort
Wayne and South Bend, Ind, Clinton,
Ia, Omaha, Salt Lake City, and Car
son City, New, among other points.
The highway never has been per-
manently marked between New York
and Omaha. Travellers hitherto have
been guided by painted markers
stenciled on telegraph and telephone
poles, but this method was found to
be inadequate, as painted guidance
was quickly cbliterated.
Expense Of marking the road from
New York to Omaha is estimated at
$4,000. The signs are carried on
motor trucks Two university of
Michigan students are going over the
road and placing the markers.

supervision Of n. ]. Holmberg, state
commissioner Of agriculture, the Min

About year ago Mr.. Holmberg

Statement On Situation.

Winona County Superintendent Issues
Statement On Situation.
Winona, August 1.-TWO thirds Of
the teaching staff needed for Winona
rural schools this coming fall
Is now engaged, it was estimated to-
day by County Superintendent A. c.
LOOMS. Superintendent Loomis said
that while reports at his office are far
from complete on the situation with
regard to rural teachers, he assumes
from figures available that about
eighty Of the 120 positions are now
filed. Thus far, he said, only one
case, has come to his knowledge in
which the minimum salary fixed by
the state board has been paid. In
other cases the salaries were gener-
ally considerably above the minimum.
A marked increase is shown in
teachers salaries for the coming year
over those of last year in rural
schools in Winona county as else
where. The shortage of teachers for
rural school positions is said to cor
respond in degree to that in city
schools.

MAKING THE CONVERTS
PEOPLE TAKING UP WITH
THE BABCOCK PLAN
John n. Mullen and J. 7. Eli
son Are Much Pleased With
The Situation

John H. Mullen, chief engineer Of
the state highway department, and
]. T. Ellison, chief bridge engineer
Of that department, called at the
court house today while enroute to
WinnebaSo by auto to speak on the
Babcock amendment.
Mr.. Mullen stated that the state
highway department is not doing as
much as it had contemplated doing
owing to the labor shortage and the
high cost Of material. Even in the
Mullen stated that the department
has now under construction through
out the state about 1895 miles Of
grading, and about LOO miles Of sur
facing, at an estimated cost Of $13,-
100000. In addition to this the state
now has ninety eight miles Of hard
surface road we'll under way of con-
struction.
Bonds For Road Purpose.
Mr. Mullen stated that In the
northern tier Of Scpunttesj including
st. Louis and 1tasba, bonds had been
issued for road purposes. In st. Louis
and in Itasca 100000. st. Louis

of road known as the Miller Trunk

Is In the central and southern part
Of the state 1t is expected to COM
plete the program of work laid out
this year, ~but plans for next years
work will not be undertaken until
the labor and material situation
clears
The state is meeting with very
good success in it's plans Of placing
certain sections Of all state roads
this man to see that his section Of
road is kept UP to. The result has
been thus far that the man held re-
sponsible for a certain portion of a
te highway, soon learns to take
pride in the part of the highway un-
der his care, and invariably sees that
1t is kept In ship shape.
Converts to Babcock Plan.
In going about the state explaining
the advantages of adopting the Bah
cock plan, Mr.. Mullen says that con-
verts are being made every day. He
is confident that the amendment will
pass this fall.
Bridge Engineer Ellison stated that
about 1875 bridges on state highways
in the state. at an estimated cost of
$2,300,000 In addition to the regu
lar state work, Mr. Ellison stated
that this department is furnishing

and villages for bridge work, which
will amount to about 100000.
