With the closing of the series of weekly dances at the Elks Club recently one of the most successful social seasons of the club was closed.
 Since last october the dance commit- tee has had a dance each Friday eve ming from 9 to F in the ballroom. A weekly mailing list of invitations was kept and if at any time the behavior of a visitor was not in accord with the rules of the club he was not asked again. In that way the standard of the crowd has included most desirable set and the conduct in the ballroom was eXcep- tionally good
 Good music was furnished by an ex- cellent orchestra. During the season several special affairs were put on and proved successes The proceeds of the dances will and have been spent for To- cal charities of which the Elks have unusually active The sending of Christi mas baskets is feature of this work and has gladdened a number of homes which would otherwise have been with out Christmas cheer.
 The dances of the local lodge will be resumed in the early fall and plans are already under way to surpass the past year in this capacity.

owner? Will be be penalized for
owning car? Far from it! For
every dollar he pays in increased IL
cense fees, he will receive three doll
ars in benefits. Let us see how this
works out in actual operation.
Experts tell us that it costs to
operate the average car over unpaved
roads approximately 10 cents a mile
for gasoline, fabrication, tires and
depreciation. 1t can be demonstrated
that it will cost 20 per cent less to
operate a car over paved road than
over an unpaved highway. This
would mean a saving of 2 cents a
mile in costs of operating on the
paved road. But you say all the
roads will not be paved. Agreed.
Let us say you will drive half the
time over paved roads and a half
over unpaved. This means your saw
ing will be one cent a mile on your
seasons mileage. #n. ..s
NET COST TO AUTOIsT
Now let us see what is the net
cost to you in your license fees. The
average assessed valuation of all cars
listed for taxation on May 1, 1918,
according to the records of the Min
nesota tax commission was $140 car
The average tax levy is approximate
ly 40 mills 1892 mills to be exact.)
This means the average taxes paid
on motor cars in the state is $3.50.
Your license fee now is $1.66, or a
total for taxes and license of 1925.
Under the Babcock plan you are to
pay SIS which will include your per-
sonal property tax. This is net
increase of $1O.74.
Now, remembering your saving of
one cent a mile as shown before, if
you drive your car 1,074 miles a
year, you will break even; if you
drive 5000 miles a year, you will
get back in saving on the cost Of
operating your car, $50 for the
$1O.74 which the plan has cost you
Can you find any objections to
such a plan? Just think of it!

ten years from 1921 to 1880, both in
elusive, the counties and townships of
the state would have a local road
building fund of $1O9,250,0O0 or
enough money to build 21,850 miles
of gravelled road at an average cost
of $4,000 a mile. This ten-year
period is cited because Commissioner
Babcock and his engineers estimate
it will take ten years to complete
the Trunk highway system.
From the foregoing it can be seen
that the Babcock plan, instead of be-
ing a scheme to build a 7,000-mile
trunk line system is, in reality, a
plan to build a highway system of
21,85O miles of we'll improved roads
in the next ten years. Of this system
1000 miles will be trunk roads built
serve through traffic and connect all
the important towns and cities with
each other and which will form the
main line. of Minnesota's highway
transportation system.
SECONDARY ROADS IMPORTANT
Then there will be more than 81
$50 miles of lateral, or feeder roads,
which reach from the trunk lines,
into the rural communities and give
the farmers an outlet to market their
produce. The roads in this secondary
system are to be built by local eX-
pense and as is proper because of the
local Importance, under jurisdiction.
These secondary roads are the ones
which Mr.. Babcock wishes to take
care of and it was the crying need
for their improvement that resulted
in the pending constitutional amend
ment. So long as the expensive main
lines were left as a burden on the
shoulders Of the counties and town
ships, there was no hope of ever be-
ing able to find money for the build
ing of these secondary roads.
Mr.. Babcock clearly saw that once
the burden of these expensive rodas
was taken over by the state, the
counties and townships would be able
to use all their money in the build
ing of secondary roads and thus
carry the benefits of good roads to
the most isolated communities. It
is interesting to note that fully 80
per cent of the road building funds in
the state is spent upon the identical
roads embraced in the Trunk high
way system. BY taking over these
roads, the secondary highways will
have $40 for improvement where
they now have only 50.
NO INCREASE IN TAXES
The beautiful part of this entire
plan is that the state can obtain
this magnificent highway system
without increasing its burden Of tax
alton by single dollar. The sec
ondary system will be financed by
the same levies-state, county and
townships-as are now being made.
The Trunk highway system will be
financed as already stated by an in
creased tax on motor vehicles.
But what about the motor vehicle

SECONDARY ROADS WILL

BaboOok Road Plan Will Take Care
of $1,000 Miles of Secondary
Road and 1000 of Trunk Roads
By Harry G. Davis
(Secretary Minnesota Highway I'M


(Secretary Minnesota Highway I'M
provement Association.)
The adoption of the pending con-
stitutional amendment, which is
known as the "Babcock plan" estab-
fishes in Minnesota State Trunk
Highway System of approximately
1000 miles OF main, or arterial roads,
which reaches into every section of
the state, the highways to be 80
Gated constructed, reconstructed, I'M
proved and forever maintained as
public highways by the state of Min
nesota."
STATE TO DO ROAD WORK
The construction and maintenance
of the roads in this system is to be
done by the state of Minnesota and
is to be financed by bond issue
which is to be retired by the proceeds
from an increased tax on motor We
hicles. The amendment limits the
issue of bonds in any calendar year
to $1O,OOO,OOO par value and provides
that there shall never be more than
$75,OO0,OOO in bonds outstanding.
No bonds are issued by the amend
ment, but it simply authorizes the
legislature to issue and sell the bonds
of the state within the limits just
stated.
TO LEVY SIS TAX ON CARS
In order to finance the Trunk
Highway System, it will be neces-
sary to levy a license fee on automo-
biles, which will average SIS per car.
If such a license fee is fixed by the
legislature, bonds may be issued to
the full limit of the constitutional
amendment and retired by the pro-
ceeds from motor vehicle taxation.
If a lower rate than SIS car is
fixed, then the legislature can limit
the bonds to be issued to less than
$40, 100000 or in other words to the
amount which can be financed by
such license fee as is fixed. In no
case, is it expected that bonds will
be issued in such amounts as can
not be retired by motor vehicle tax
alton.
LOCAL FUNDS LEFT INTACT +.
BY the establishment of the Trunk
highway system all of the local funds
the state aid, county and township
levies, are left intact to be used by
local authorities in building the local

on the past two years average, mount
