County figures, taken from the
official reports by the state pub
lie examiner and secretary oi

locality from Minnesota's new
highway development program
which in the first year broke All
records.
Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, and John
H. Mullen, deputy commissioner
and chief highway engineer.
made only brief comment on the
remarkable showing. They ex-
planned that the use of federal
highway aid and reimbursement
money was more than twice the
total Of motor vehicle taxes to
date and for that reason the
department was enabled
to carry on a large amount Of
work. Counties with large dis
bursement totals generally are
those with reimbursement bond
funds available or roads which
were not up to the state average
when the highway department
took over the trunk system.
Department policies are de-
signed to distribute new construc-
ton so that the largest number
Of localities may share in early,
permanent benefits. and also to
build up weak stretches in long
mileages Of otherwise good roads.
Their continuance will tend to
bring up individual county totals

sidered. Those with small totals
last year will be most likely 70

being equal. Every effort has
been and is being made to give
every locality fair and impartial
consideration"
Commissioner Babcock said
that no attention ID paid TO coun-
ty lines in deciding upon trunk

have just been received by the
Minnesota federation headquar-
ters in St. Paul.
In rate hearings covering an
entire month, the American
Farm Bureau federation was the
only shippers organization in the
country to introduce as evidence
general financial analysis of
railroad earnings and expenses
as a basis for a demand that
freight charges be reduced still
farther.
So far, agriculture has been
the only industry in the United
States to obtain a substantial rate
reduction. The farm bureau is
recorded as the only farmers
organization in the country that
appeared to fight for reduced
freight rates when the govern
ment opened hearings on hay and
grain rates last fall. Rate cuts
averaging Is per cent resulted
from the farmers fight in this
case; and Immediately after the
hearings ended, the farm bureau
began legal action to force fur
ther cuts in rates on all farm
products. Conferences between
railroad officials and farm bureau
leaders followed, and the net re-
suit was a so-called voluntary
cut Of 10 per cent in freight
charges on practically every pro
duct of the American farm.
Hearings just concluded in
Washington covered rates on
hundreds of commodities, and
opened up the way for still fur
ther reductions.
Farm bureau attorneys pointed
out that the testimony Of the
eastern railroads chief witness
showed that in spite of a small
volume of traffic, the roads were
earning 5.21 per cent on their
property investment. The prop
erty investment figure, they as
serted, is $4,000 100000 higher
than the par value Of all the rail
way bonds and stock outstanding
in the hands Of the public, and
from five to six billion dollars
higher than the market value of
these securities.

and bonds outstanding in the
