cent of Martin County's road money
is now spent in maintaining its state
| roads,
The Minnesota Federation of Farm
Bureaus, The Minnesota Livestock
Breeders Association and almost every
other farmers organization endorses
this amendment. Don't let foolish
propaganda blind you to the real work
I ing of the law.
This analysis is made by the Martin
County Farm Bureau News. From
this article it is apparant that the
amendment does not provide specifi-
cally for concrete roads. The con-
struction may be Of such material as
appears best fitted to the needs of the
locality. The preference for paved
roads over gravelled ones result large
ly from the lesser cost of maintain
ence. While the initial cost of the
paved road is greater, the cost of the
upkeep of gravel is far greater, so
that the paved roads are cheapest in
the long run.
At the good Road Conference held
in Minneapolis last April, attended by
all the County Auditors of the State,
it was demonstrated that the officials
best acquainted with the construction
of Minnesota roads are almost to a
man, in favor of highway system
built by State and Federal money and
constructed by the state itself. The
only division of sentiment that arose
was on the quality and quantity of
the roads to be built.
Reports from Winona showed the
annual repair of concrete roads in
that county was but thirty-five dol
lars mile; that in five years the
roads had not deteriorated percepti-
bly, but were rather better than when
new, and that the life of concrete
road, judged from their experience
would be not less than fifty years.
Reports from Renville County told
of gravel road built there that cost
for gravel alone eight thousand dol
lars mile, and this had to be COM
pletely renewed every seven or eight
years. Even the advocates of gravel
roads admitted that gravel would not
stand heavy trucking and that the
farmers would have to be contend with
trucks of ton or ton and a half
capacity.
The final test Of the policy of a
State highway system, as stated by a
speaker from the State Highway de-
partment is not primarily the cost of
building and maintaining, but the
economy effected in transportation. If
the annual saving to the State in
transportation is greater than the an
nual cost of the road system, the in
vestment is a good one and should be
undertaken.

THE BABCOCK
AMENDMENT

The means of securing better high
ways is Incorporated in the Babcock
Good Roads Amendment, to be voted
upon this fall. To clear up any con-
fusion which may exist with regards
to this amendment, it's workings and
its financing, once it is approved of
by the voters, we reprint the follow
ing analysis from the Martin County
Farm Bureau News:
The proposed amendment as submit
ted contains but two essential ideas.
First-giving permission to the
state to take over construction and
maintenance of the so-called state
roads, and arranging that the cost be
paid by an auto tax.
Second-designing the roads that
will be so constructed and maintained.
What it does not contain or mention;
That these roads be built of con-
crete. They may be built of dirt, grav-
ell, concrete, asphalt or any other con-
struction that the people of each coun-
ty want.
That these roads be built in any
specified number of years. It will be
perhaps thirty or forty years before
all these highways are finally con-
structed.
Why should you vote for this law ?
Because it permits the state and
federal government to cooperate in
building highways, and provides that
the auto owner shall pay for them.
Such highways are real and press
ing need.
It releases the funds already used on
these so-called state roads for use in
building federal roads, thus making it
possible sooner to have the township
and county improved. Eighty per-

In all probability Henry Ford has
advanced the most practical idea yet
for keeping young men on the farms.
Henry suggests that we build factor
les throughout the farming sections
give these young men employment
during the winter months when there
is no farm work to be done, and shut
them down in the summer when the
men are needed on the farms. 1t is
a sane, sensible and eminently prac-
tical suggestion. 1t is one easy of at
tainment. 1t could be done in this
community as well as any other place.

HOPE TO Be MARRIED
Approaching Marriage of c. r.. Hope

Clifford r. Hope, representative
elect from Finney county, will become
a bridegroom two days in advance of

member of the legislature and one
of the half dozen unmarried men
elected to a seat. He is to be married

MINIATURE MOTOR MADE
BY H. F. KELLER

Mr., H. f. Keeler, Of the keeler
Electric company has a motor OF his
own make that is said to be the
smallest electric motor ever made.
The motor, although only ive-six-
teenth of an inch in height, embodiss
all the principles Of the regular large
motors and runs at the estimated
speed of $500 revolutions per minute.
The weight of the motor is 20 grains
The armature is three -sixteenths OF
an inch in diameter and is wound
with twenty inches of number forty
wire. The field has thirty inches OF
number thirty-six wire The current
is furnished from a small battery.
Working at odd times, it took Mr.
Keeler about a year to perfect this
very small motor, as 1t took much
experimenting in making a machine
of so small dimensions. 1t has been
exhibited before engineers who say
It is the smallest motor ever made.
