MOTOR VEHICLES PROVIDE 80
PER CENT TRUNK HIGHWAY
FUNDS IN COUNTY.
THESE TAXES PAID TO STATE
ARE RETURNED TO COUNTIES
ROAD FUNDS.

Brown County motor vehicles were
taxed S58,527 and $65,234 Of trunk
highway money has been used to date
in this county under the Babcock
Good Roads plan. This county has
three so-called trunk highways which
have been temporarily designated as
such by the State. Highway Commits
sion. They are Trunk Highway Num-
Der Z, which is the former State Road
No. / and runs from New Ulm to.
Springfield, west to the county line;
No. Is, which runs from New Ulm to
Madelia and No. 70, which runs from
Sleepy Eye north to Fairfax.
The automobile tax total is from
the report of Mike Holm, secretary Of
State and the Highway figures are
certified by G.. W. Brown, State pub
lie examiner. The figures reflect early
benefits to this locality from the
Minnesota new highway development
plan.
Only State Funds Expended.
Since June 1, 1921, when the new
Trunk Highway law went into effect
no moneys have been expended by the
County commissi oners Of Brown Coun-
tY on Trunk Highways number Z, Is
and 70. AS stated above there has
been expended on these temporarily
designated trunk highways a total Of
s65,2S4. This money will be returned
to Brown County as soon as the High
way commission makes a permanent
designation Of these trunk highways.
The Highwater crossing at New Ulm
which is now being constructed over
and across the Minnesota river is a
permanent designation and will not
be changed and all the moneys expend-
ed on this highway come out of the
Trunk Highway fund Of the State.
Trunk Highways Nos. Z and Is will
4 both use this highwater crossing and
Ifor stretch of about three miles these
/ 1.-TWO highways will be practically one,
It Is presumed that the present tenn
porary designation will be made
permanent and the total amount Of
moneys expended on these trunk high
ways will be returned to the County
Treasurer. Should, however, the
4 temporary location not be made per.
! manent then such portion Of the
moneys expended on the highways not
included in the permanent designation
i will not be returned to the county

.PROGRESSIVES AT CONVENTION
IN CHICAGO CALL FOR
UNITED ACTION.
RESOLUTIONS ADAPTED FOR
PURPOSE OF GETTING
WORKING PLAN.

Chicago was the meeting place last
week of representatives from all parts
of the United States Of the progressive
elements who feel that the fight for a
new party must be carried on until
the old line parties are either defeated
at the polls or taught that they must
obey the will Of the people which the
have so long frustrated.
The Conference was in session on
Washington's birthday and adopted a
number of resolutions to be acted
upon by progressive organizations in
the several states. No new party was
formed but it is hoped that the resolu-
tions may be used as Yssrking- for
mula for all progressives in the COM
ing elections. The chief immediate
good resulting from the conference was
the getting together Of all groups of
progressives, both radical and conser-
vative, who were able to discuss the
conditions without allowing their old
antagonisrns to interfere. By putting
aside those antagonisms there may be
an opportunity Of bringing about a
fusion which will at last produce the
much needed Third Party" The
resolutions adopted were as follows:
RESOLUTION I.
This Conference recommends that all
labor, farmer, cooperative and pro-
gressive political forces Of the country,
as represented in this Conference,
unite for the purpose of securing
the nomination and election Of SEN
ators and representatives to Congress
and to the various state legislatures,
and of other state and local public
officers in the coming election of 1922,
who are pledged to the interests Of the
producing classes and to the principles
of genuine democracy in agriculture,
industry and government. y
With this end in view it urges all
such forces to organize joint commit
tees within each state, congressio onal
district, county and mum cipality, who
are representative Of such organizations
and similar organizations that will co
operate with them to secure the cleo
ton, of such representatives.
RESOLUTION 2.
This conference shall select a GEN
ERAL COMMITTEE of fifteen mem
bers as representative as possible Of
the various groups constituting this
conference. The general committee
shall cooperate with and assist the
local organizations in the coming elec.
tions, and shall call a national con
ference on the second Monday Of De
cember, 1922, for the purpose Of con.
sidering and acting upon the propo.
