BEMIDJI HIGH MEETS
CASS LAKE SATURDAY
Locals Will Play First Game of
q Baseball on Home Field;
/ Good Game Expected

Major. league baseball will have
nothing on Bemidji high school when
the local 'interscho elastic season for
Bemidji$ opens with a game against
the Cass Lake high school at the local
ball park Saturday afternoon, April
20. This is the first year of baseball
for either Of these schools but never
|theless it is expected that first-class
frame will be the result Of this meet
ling. Athletic rivalry between these
two schools has always been keen and
both teams are now going through
stiff practice in preparation for the
contest. ~ ~ ,:--@ -
The ball park on Fourth street will
undoubtedly be used for this game,
although the fair grounds will be the
|scene Of later season games, the dla-
mond at the fair grounds not being
ready for use at this time. The game
will begin at about $3.50, Coach Smith
has announced.
This is the first public game to be
played in Bemidji this season and in
|dications are that it will be we'll at
tended, since much interest has al
ready been shown in favor of base
ball for the high school students.
Bemidji high school has an except
ional good line of material and will
give the high schools in this section
Of the state a hard contest. Inter-dis-
trict games may be played after the
district schedules have been complet-
ed. The majority of the high schools
of the state have already adopted the
plan of spring athletics and it is ex-
|pected that number of interesting
games will be the result.

UNIFORM STATE LAWS
ON MOTOR TAXATION
Correlation of Highways With
Rail and Water Transport
tation to Be Urged
BY James T. Knlhert

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
Washington, April rs UNITED
Press )-Congress must continue to
promote an adequate program III
highway construction and nnainten-
ance, the Joint Congressional Com
mission on Agricultural Inquiry soon
will report to Congress, its chairman
Rep. Sydney Anderson, Mimi, said
today.
The commission believes that the
motor vehicle has come to be an in
disensible farming implement" and
that good roads, built so as to aid the
farmer in getting his products to the
best markets, are essential to the ag-
ricultural life of the nation.
Correlation of the highways with
rail and water TRANSFORMATION and a
uniform basis for taxing motor vehi-
cles also will be rugged by the commits
sion in its report
"The commission" Anderson said
"is strongly of the opinion that the
program Of highway construction and
maintenance by states and counties
be continued under the direction Of
qualified, experts, with particular re-
ference to the construction and main
tenance Of farm-to-market roads; that
adequate funds should be appropriat-
ed for research and regulation of
traffic based upon the facts so ascer-
tanned &c..
Uniform State Laws
"Also that the several states COOP
crate in effecting uniform basis
for taxing motor trucks and other
~, -. n1,z .,,L,ah ,Lnn En-. ~l, ....,>
resent the proportion Of expense Of
highway construction and mainten-
ance chargeable to such vehicles.
Previous to its appearance, the eco
nomic zone of transportation was
sharply defined by the haulage range
of the horse and the cost of such trans
portation. 1t will be shown in the re-
port that in 1918 the estimated cost
Of hauling in wagons from farms to
shipping point averaged about soc
per ton mile for wheat ,33 cents Tor
corn and AZ cents for cotton. Hauling
in motor trucks or by tractors aver
ages are s. cents for whetat and corn
and Is cents for cotton.
1T thus appears" said the chair
man, "that the major result acconnp-
lished by this new form Of transpor-
tation has been to extend and broaden
the markets for the, farmer. Single
reactions are to be found in the fact
that the use Of the motor vehicles has
brought the farmer closer to the city
and also has increased the desirability
and comfort of farm life.
Figures in the report will show
that whilethe motor vehicle traffic

APPRECIATION

The Dearborn independent
Six months ago q man entered the
Office OF q city editor of a small-town
newspaper and handed him box Of
good cigars.
What's the idea ?" asked the man
Of many tasks.
s. "Oh, just little appreciation Of
the help you gave Us on our musi-
Gale" replied the man.
1t Is not recorded that the city edi-
tor ever recovered. He seldom gets
any thanks for his free publicity. He
doesn't expect any.
That is about all an editor of a
smaIl-town paper has to do except
and this exception, If he is new to the
task, proves his greatest burden.
The editor knows without going
thru il that in all that mail there may
he one or two letters worth reading;
others represent efforts TO work him
and the paper he represents for free
advertising or pleading for cause in
which the sender Is Interested but
very few others.
Some one recently suggested that
a drive against drives" would meet
with popular approval, but a society
for the suppression Of propaganda
would meet with the unanimous sup
port of every editor in the country.
In America there seems to be a So
iety for everything and another So
ciety for contradicting everything.
An organization for a high protective
tariff will attempt to broadcast to the
world, thru the editor. that unless a
wall is built about certain industries,
they are doomed to the scrap heap,
thousands of men will be thrown out
of work and millions in capital will
be sunk without a trace
