snail Minnesota pc allowed TO neEp
it's counties and towns to make every
road in the state a good road and to
permit motor trucks and automobiles
to pay their fair share of the cost?
Briefly, that is the important ques-
ton to be decided by the votes of
both men and women on proposed
Good Roads Amendment No. l, on
the pink ballot at the election Nov
ember g.
If the majority of all votes cast
are yes votes, the state next Jan
urary will take over the main trunk
highways and increase motor vehicle
license fees to raise additional funds
necessary to maintain and gradually
improve them.
Counties and towns will have larg-
er amounts to spend en- the other
roads. Although relieved of the care
of main roads which now take two
thirds of all the funds, they will
continue to receive all state aid and
road tax money-more than S15,-
100000 year. New money forth
coming for all state road require
ments, the counties and towns will be
enabled to make correspondingly good
local roads.
Maintenance First;
Building as Funds Allow
The proposed plan is designed,
officials explain, to provide first for
proper maintenance, good drainage
and grading on every road, and then
as remaining funds will permit for
permanent betterments.
The funds for use on state roads
will not permit hard-surfacing of the
entire system in few or even ten
years, the officials explain. But
gravel roads are adequate for hun
dreds Of miles and will continue to be
built until surplus money each year
makes possible the extension of more
permanent types of roads as they are
demanded by economy under the in
creased motor traffic.
Increased revenue from motor vehi-
Gle licenses, with the federal aid and
present funds will be all that is need
ed to carry out the entire plan to
make every road a good road, the of
f1cials declare. Otherwise, they
warn, taxes must go still higher and
bonds may be issued to maintain the
highways even as they are now.
eyes Votes
Allow State to Help
Adoption of Amendment No. 1 will
authorize the legislature to do two
things:
Establish a state system of 1000
smiles of trunk highways reaching
every county seat and other import
ant towns.
Increase motor vehicle license fees
to provide the funds necessary to
always maintain and gradually i'm
prove the state system
Hence, the sole purpose for the pro-
posed constitutional change is to per-
nit the state to take over and finance
the maintenance and Improvement of
the main travelled Grads.
Without that authority, Minnesota
can meet the public demands for bet
ter highways only by increasing road
taxes and possibly issuing road bonds,
The Amendment contains bond pro-
vision which is now of virtually no
effect, as is explained later.
The Legislature is left free to work
out administrative and other details
in a common-sense, I #tness-like
manner.
Auto Owners
to Profit by Plan
Tired of driving on rough roads
and satisfied that savings on car up
keep, tires and gasoline will more
than offset any reasonable increase in
license fees, automobile and truck
owners generally are in favor of the
new plan. They always have been
willing to pay more, provided it
would be spent upon the roads.

Bond Authority
Now of No Effect

The provision that the legislature
may issue road bonds under certain re-
strictions and safeguards, is virtually
of no effect now that similar state SOL
dfers' bonus bonds have been shown to
be unstable.
When state bonds were still market
able, however, officials announced that
unexpected increases in the number
of automobiles and trucks in Minneso-
ia indicate that the license revenue
will provide needed funds without
bond money.
The bond provision may be used to
advantage should changed conditions

of the plan. A drop in material prices

Safeguards
Surround Bond Plan
The bond provision, however, states
that up to $40 1000, 900 of bonds may be
Issued by the legislature in any year
provided that not more than SIS, 0OO,
900 is outstanding at one time: that
hVe per cent is the maximum interest
rate, and that sales may be made only
at or above par
Tne latter limitations, it is explained
make road bond sales impossible now.
A sinking fund is created before any
bonds can be sold and it can be used
only to pay the interest and to redeem
the bonds. This makes it easy for the
legislature to determine what amounts
OF bonds could be sold, the market per-
hitting without requiring a tax levy.
The safeguard insures that motor
vehicle licenses will meet the entire
additional cost of the enlarged pro.
gram and is a further precaution
against increases in road taxes.
