MEANS SOME ROAD WORK.

The distribution of the road fund
of st. Louis County for next year
shows that total will be distributed
among the several commissioners dis
tricts amounting to 81 ,207,990. The
total amount levied for County
Special Road, and Bridge purposes is
$3,168, 900.
Commissioner McMahan secured
from the special fund $36,510 for
State Road No. 1 within his district.
100000 was secured from the
special county fund for the construc-
ton of the road into Babbitt. With
his usual dizzy from the allotted funds
he will have quite a working capital
for next year. We are in hopes
that the road around the lake may be
completed next year. Work on the
Rabbit branch will begin as early as
possible next spring.
There is always one consolation
for the taxpayers of the county.
Every cent, no matter how many,
given to Grant McMahan for road
purposes is expended for road pur-
poses and always with the best re-
suits. He has habit of furnishing
something for the money ard the
roads in his district show it.

run an engine, and at that he has a
track to run on, while the auto driver
can get into ear and with five min
utes of lessons, can drive through the
universe with not even a track to
keep him straight.
Booze soaked drivers should be
made an example of and their III
thinking acts cost them their liberty
for a term of years so as to give
them chance to think matters over.
Then, death or fatal injury car
should be confiscated and sold for the
benefit of the widow and orphans
they have created. Licenses should
not be granted to anyone who drinks
and everyone should have license
after passing a. rigid examination
Children should not be allowed to
drive an auto on any pretext. A
boy or girl whom you would not
trust to operate a sewing machine or
vacuum cleaner in the home should
not be given an automobile. This
may sound harsh to some people but
it is the truth.
Laws covering the automobile cate
CORY of criminals are badly needed
the legislature will take cognizance
of the needs providing they can find
time enough between trying to soak
the northern end of the state with a
tonnage tax, to pass system of laws
covering automobiles. Auto thefts
will also be made the subject for spec
ial acts. In years gone by a man who
stole a $50 horse was caught and
hung or stuck in for life. Today, the
fellow who gets away with $4,000
car is only guilty of misdemeanor
and no laws are here to handle his
case.

our original forests. One-half of the
remaining 2,215 billion board feet
Of standing timber in the United
States is in the three Pacific Coast
States.
The United States consumes OF
destroys annually sc billion board
feet of material Of saw timber size.
The per capita consumption of
lumber in the United States for the
year 1918 was about 800 board feet.
Practically one-fifth of the remain
ing timber of the country is contained
in the National Forests.
The real cause Of timber depletion
is idle forest land.
The answer to the forestry prob
lem of the United States is not to use
less wood but to grow more-to put
our idle acres of burned and logged
off timber land at work growing trees.
Three-fourths Of the problem lies
in preventing forest fires, so say Of

FINAL DRIVE.

The Minnesota Fair Tax Association
is preparing for the final drive in the
southern part of the state that ton
mage tax is unjust and unfair to the
state as whole. G. II. Lommen of
Biwabik, who has been one of the
best field workers the tax association
has engaged, is speaking in the west
ern and southern parts of the state.
The plan of the Minnesota Fair
Tax Association is to conduct an ag-
Igressive campaign from now until the
Legislature meets early next year. A
big force Of speakers will be in the
field all over southern Minnesota,
trying to convince the legislators and
their constituents it is nothing more
or less than a political football, to
be kicked around by aspiring polite
ians and which will not benefit the
state if it becomes a law.

FORESTRY FACTS.

Three-fifths Of the original supply
of timber in the United States is
gone and every year we are taking
out of our forests four times the
amount of timber that we are grow
ing. The virgin forests of the I'm
tied States, which formerly covered
1922 million acres, have shrunk to
one-sixth of that area. All classes
of forest land in the United States,
including culled, burned and cut-over
areas, now aggregate 463 million
acres, or a little more than one-half

MOTOR LAWS
BADLY NEEDED,
LAWS TO BE ENACTED TO CURB
RECKLESS DRIVING OF
AUTOMOBILES.

The fragrant disregard for human
life on the part of automobile drivers
will result in laws at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature and expected
to put an end to this phase of the
auto situation.
The killing of the little girl in
Virginia last week by an auto driver
and the blowing through party in
Duluth early this week by another
reckless chauffeur, has stirred up in
dignation on the part of the author
tiles and an effort will be made to
put stop to affairs of this nature.
The Virginia case was one of the
most cold-blooded affairs that has
happened in some time. Indications
pointed to the opinion that the driver
of the loaded Studebaker car was
himself loaded and that he drove clear
of the street near the curb and struck
the child, killing her instantly. The
hardest part of the story is, that
afterwards he drove away and it was
only by chance that the police discov-
cred the culprit and he is now under
arrest. John Lupis is the name Of
the suspect taken and the author
tiles think they have the right man.
The fellow in Duluth, who with his
high-powered car ploughed through a
party of people waiting for a street
car, injuring several, and then speed
ing away, has not been as yet 10
Gated.
The state legislature will be asked
at the coming session in January to
pass bill covering these crimes. At
present there is nothing on the books
which will reach, offenders of this
stamp. To take gun and run
amuck is crime punishable by i'm
prisonment for a term of years, but
to take a death-dealing car on the
main highway and through cities and
in befuddled manner zig-zag into
crowd and kill and wound three or
four people, is an accident.
The man with gun is murderer
while the other fellow is an unfor-
tunate who has met with an accident.
Both are just as guilty and the auto
driver far more so than the man with
the gun. The gun man usually gets
only what he goes after while the
fellow with the machine can anihilate
whole blocks of people.

KNOX RESOLUTION AGAIN
TO CONGRESS.

Knox, on his return to Washing
ton tadoy, said he would reintrO-
duce, as soon as Congress recon,
venes, his resolution declaring a
state Of peace to exist with Ger
many and Austria Hungary.
He is strongly of the opinion
that it should be passed as soon
as possible, regardless of what
other steps may be taken in inter
national relations by President
elect Harding. Whether an at
tempt will be made at the ap-
preaching short session to pass
the resolution over President
Wilson's objections as expressed
IN veto at the last session, will
depend on the prevailing opinion
of the majority of the Republican
leaders Of both houses, the Sena-
tor said. This probably will be
considered at a conference on
party policy, to be held shortly
after Congress reconvenes.

votes to pass the Knox resolution

REFLECTIONS ON THE UNI
TED STATES MAILS.

If Burleson s resignation is go,
ing to take effect March 4 he
should be getting it into the mails
by now. The only thing fast about
United States mails are the colors
they use on the stamps And the
only thing up-to-date about 'em
are the cancellation machines.
You see the mail-trucks speed
ing over one-way streets like q
fire chief whirling to a burning
brewery. That's some speed.
When you get flash Of that
thrilling sight you know the mail
truck boys are hustling with sacks
of Minneapolis mali to catch the
New Orleans express. Yes, the
mail service is the poor mans tel
egraph. 1t costs the same to send
a letter from New York to Los
Angeles as it does to send one
from the Battery to the Bronx.
And it takes the same time.
There are now four classes of
United States mail. Each class is
behind the other from two days
to four weeks. A newspaper Is
entered at the post Office as sec
ond-class matter and arrives at
the subscriber as frSt-clasS con-
fetti.

HAS FAITH IN BOYS FARM.

Somehow | have much more
faith in the boys and girls than
have in adults when it comes to
making genuine livestock breed
ers. For this reason | take more
than ordinary personal interest
in boys and girl s club work.
THE boys and girls make up
our future citizenship and if they
are not properly trained what
may we expect of the future7 1t
seems to me that agriculture and
its associated industries have
been the most sadly neglected OF
all enterprises, and yet they are
from every angle the most I'M
portant of all. The rural popula-
ton of this cuontry is its main
stay in wealth. social well4being
and morality. There is some.
thing about getting closer to the
soil, closer to nature, that makes
better men and better women,
and if for no other reason than
the establishment of higher So
cial order. BOYS and girls club
work should be encouraged. -

THREE AGAINST ONE.

Apropos a Fostering delegation
pound to see the President during
the Civil War, Lord Charnwood
gives us a new Lincoln story. In
his 'boyhood Lincoln attended q
backwoods school. They used to
begin the day in that school by
standing up in row and reading
a chapter Of the Bible, verse and
verse about. There was a little
boy standing next to Lincoln
who could not read well. They
read Daniel iii, and by ill-luck
that little boy got the first of the
verses in which the names "Shad-
rach. Meshach, and Abednego'
occur. His perturbation was ex-
treme, but, pulling himself to-
gether with a convulsive effort,
he cleared that verse somehow,
and all seemed to be well. Look
ing at him, however, after a
moment, Lincoln saw that he was
in tears and whispered, "What
are You crying fort"
Nothing" said the little boy,

erable cusses coming round to
