of dollars annually for all counties,

Louis
Although it meant fewer advantages
to them, the voters of the three coun-
ties named effected the adoption of the
so-called Bob Dunn amendment pro-
viding the mill tax for state road
aid. The majority Of the remaining
counties went against the measure but
not one would now sanction it's repeal
Friends of Amendment No. urge
careful consideration for it that the
majority Of counties may not repeat
the mistake made on the 1-miIl tax
amendment.
Large Cities
to Gain Indirectly
A large percentage of the motor
vehicle license fees are paid by own
ers living in Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth, cities in the excepted counties.
Those owners have learned that the
greatest mileage is covered on country
roads and because Of the savings made
possible by the plan are ready to pay
their full share Of the cost of good
roads.
Every resident in the three large
cities will profit in measures far ex-
ceeding any loss in the personal taxes
from automobiles, advocates Of the
measure contend.
Trade increases with traffic, they
explain, property values advance and
the same tax rate brings much larger
funds. The commercial and civic or
CARNATIONS of those cities are giving
public-spirited assistance to the cam
paign to pass Amendment No. 1.
Smaller cities and towns of the state
insured the same advantages at less
cost, are counted on for equal support
for the plan.

Local Roads get
$15,OOO,OOO a Year

Main trunk highways will be main
tanned and improved with license rev.
enue and federal aid under the pro-
posed plan. All state aid and tax re-
ceipts-more than $15,0OO,OOO next
year and steadily increasing go
to the counties and towns for the
maintenance and improvement of lat
eral or local roads.
Many miles of main roads have been
extensively improved by using from
IS to 80 cents of every dollar of road
funds for that purpose and the $780,
100000 provided the state annually
under Amendment No. 1 is rated
enough to continue the work and all
that can be spent economically and
to advantage, especially during the
present scarcity of labor and mate
rails.
Relieved of the care of the main
roads, counties and towns will have
from three to four times as much to
use on the other roads. Local roads
will benefit as much or more than the
state roads and that feature is gain
ing the yes votes of farmers living
on them for Amendment No. 1. It is
held certain that every mile of road
in the state will be adequately i'm
proved.

Gravel or Hard
Roads all as Needed

Amendment No. 1 says nothing
about types of roads. Counties and
towns are building gravelsurfaced,
concrete, brick and other kinds and
the state will do the same under the
new plan.
First, every road must be put in
good condition and kept that way, tn.

the officials explain. Gravel roads will
continue to make up the greater part
of state, county and town roads, but

Where traffic destroys the gravel sur
face almost as fast as the gravel can
be hauled, economy demands hard
surfacing and it will belaid as rapidly
as funds will permit. Every road will

then further improved according to

Funds for state roads and for coun-
ty and town roads are separate and
one system can no longer profit to the
disadvantage of the other. The state
ment that all trunk roads are to be
hard-surfaced at once is too absurd
friends of the plan say, to need contra
diction. Voters have a right to expect

State Roads
Held Fairly Selected
Main trunk highways to make up
the state system are designated in the
amendment. That presents a definite
proposition to voters and avoids DO
litical influences that might follow Ia
ter designation. Seventy routes in the
system. They were selected by the last
legislature after public hearings and
Investigations. That fair treatment
was given every county has been
shown by the few objections made to
the plan. Complaints of omissions of
some roads are satisfied as a rule by
the explanation that all roads-both
local and state roads are to benefit
equity under the proposed plan.
The amendment provides that the
state system may be extended to take
in roads to new county seats and other
roads in the discretion of the legisla-
ture after the original plan is three
fourths completed and funds are on
hand. The conditions are not regard ed
as meaning that not until all state
roads are hard-surfaced can other
roads be added. Where traffic is light

The average car now yields $3.50 a
year in license fees and personal prop
erty taxes. The latter item will be
eliminated when the fee is raised be-
cause of the prohibition of double tax
alton.
New license fees will average about
$18 car, it is expected. Scales are
to be based on the road damage from
each machine, and light cars will pay
less than the heavy cars. The average
net increase on each car, therefore, is
placed at 5000 year.
Automobile experts show that it
costs 10 cents a mile to operate a
car on poor roads and cents on
good roads. A saving of only 1 cent
a mile would mean that the owner
will have made up the increase on the
first 1,040 miles. Then he will begin
to profit besides gaining the advan-
tages Of all-year going and the COM
fort of smooth roads.

$1O,OOO,OOO a Year
Gain by New Proposal

Good Roads. Amendment No. / and
present laws will furnish more. than
$27,OO0,000 year of road funds, COM
pared to less than $17,OOO,OOO provid-
ed last year, according to official esti-
mates and figures. 1t will mean over
$8,O00,00O of additional money next
year and $1O,OOO,OOO additional yearly
average during the next decade.
The average fee of $18 for motor
vehicle licenses will yield $6,90O,000,
estimated on total of 100000 cars.
The amendment also will enable the
state to obtain it's full share of ST.
$4,000 of federal aid. Otherwise,
more than half the allotment will be
lost to Minnesota and reapportioned to
other states. This prospective gain in
itself is urged by many as sufficient
in itself to influence thinking voters
to support the amendment.
The 100000 total of additional
road money next year will grow in
succeeding years as good roads in
crease the use of motor trucks and
automobiles. Officials declare that
the estimates are conservative.

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.

Fletcher not only carried Off the

complimentaries, but II was nothing
unusual for him to be hit as many as
TWO and three times day. Fletcher
was hit so many times, McGraw
came to regard 1t as a Joke and not
infrequently had ito rout a smile be-

to tell him to quiet down and forget

THE former Giant never really be-

double bill at Pittsburgh. Fletcher
was hit twice by Cooper OF the Pr
ates. In the first game, then In the
second attraction Pitcher Sanders
delivered one of his speediest benders
to Fletcher's spinal column, between
tn shoulders. On that occasion Flet-
cher started after the hurler, but the
injury caused him such pain he quit
in his tracks and sat down on the
diamond.
The fact that Fletcher received so
many wild pitches on various parts
OF his anatomy gave John McGraw
an opportunity to Josh him quite
freely and at times strenuously about
being hit. McGraw frequently told
him he was too awkward to step out
OF the way. but Fletcher always came

Mr.. Carpenter Is here to turn over
administration of his office to the

effect q treaty under which the Sui
tan OF Sulu renounced all pretensions
