THREE CITIES AFTER
PORTION OF AUTO TAX
Would Use on Arterial Streets
Share of Funds Now Going
Wholly for Highways

Demand by Minneapolis, St.Paul
and Duluth to the next legislature
for refunds of part of the motor ve-
hicle tax money for use on ,arterial
streets in those cities is forecast in
recent newpaper reports. Under
the Babcock plan the funds are now
used exclusively on the trunk high
ways, outside of those cities.
Posptonement- of Nicollett avenue
paving in Minneapolis followed the
proposal of a legislative fight and the
agitation for a change of laws start
ed in St. Paul at the political rally.
Twin City business men stated
that car owners in Minneapolis, Du-
luth and St. Paul pay approximately
$2,0O0,000 a year in automobile and
truck taxes which goes on highways
outside of those cities-all stopping
at the city limits. They declared
that provision should be made for
state Improvement of trunk highways
running through the large as we'll as
the small cities and villages of the
rural districts. 1t was stated further
that under the state aid law for fl
nancing local road improvements,
Hennepin, Ramsey and St.. Louis
counties pay nearly four times as
much as they receive in return while
other counties gain accordingly.
The state highway bulletin states
that there is little prospect of any
change at this time to extend trunk
highway improvement inside the
three large cities. The advantage to
the smaller cities, villages and rural
sections, however, will continue only
SO long as present provisions stand
and will be affected to some extent
by action of the legislature of 1923
in providing funds for the state high
way program during the next two
years.

comb Rhode Island cockerel which

show Thanksgiving week. Mrs. Bez-
ner has a flock Of eighty-two pure

fourth in number of COW testing as
sociations and third in number o,
herds on test among all states wesi
of the Mississippi. Missouri is alst
first among the states west of the
Mississippi in organized bull associa'
ton work.
Ellis Brothers, who farm north Of
Mexico, recently purchased two extra
fine Rambouillet ewes from a Mich
igan breeder. Their mates won in
their class at the International last
year in Chicago. They have been
added to the Ellis flock of 300 pure
breds. They have altogether 800 head
of sheep on their place now.
The average Missouri cow is said to
produce $50 pounds of butterfat a
year; yet it was found by the Greene
County Cow Testing Association that
cows averaging that amount cleared
only $48.94 above feed cost in the en-
tire twelve months Of 1921. The feed
cost in their case was So cents per
pound of butterfat and $1.65 per hun
bred pounds of milk.
By their years records these
Greene County business farmers also
discovered that the feed cost decreas-
ed as production increased, so that
the COWS which averaged $50 pounds
of butterfat per cow produced it at a
feed cost of only 10 cents a pound and
milk at only $1.00 per hundred
pounds. Their profit above feed cost
was $132.0S per cow for the year. 1t
was also found that the good cows
returned 1926 worth of product fol-
every $1.00 in feed consumed; while
the "state-average" cows returned
only $1.91 worth of product for the
same amount of feed.
Then there was another group of
COWS; a bunch that was actually los
ing money. Some of them had been
losing their owners money for years
but the cow testing association found
them out and sent them to the block,

the average quality is improving, yet
there is temporarily a 'buck aiger'
prevailing among many horsemen as
to the future of the business. The

vital essential to our farming oper-
atoms, and will not go out of farm
use.

completed an excellent record for this
advanced age and now stands Cham

over IL years of age. Starting her
test at IA years and 9 month of age
she produced, according to C. W.
Turner of the Missouri College of Ag-
rictulture, 1902 pounds of milk and
682.76 pounds of fat. 1t is interesting
to compare this record with that of
the famous Jersey COW, Sophie 10Th
of Hood Farm, known as the cham
pion long distance producer. At Ia
years and 6 months Of age Sophie
produced 10000 pounds Of milk and
566.56 pounds of fat.

Local produce dealers say that the
cold weather so far has influenced the
egg market to a less degree than
would be expected. There aFe plenty
of eggs in the country and it has been
much warmer in the eastern part Of
the state. than it has here. As the
price here is set chiefly by the St
Louis market the prices paid here this
week have not been high.

cents a dozen in Mexico Wednesday

WEAT is THE ANSWER?

Henry Ford. in his autobiography. asserts
that every man should bo paid according to his
contribution to the social and Industrial sys-
TEN, adding. that It naturally follows that he
she who refuses to work and thus falls TO
contribute anything should have the high priyl-
lego Of starving to death.
An eminent commission has Just investigated
and reported living conditions In the West Vr-
gna mine regions. The commission made the
investigation under tho protection of the New
River Coal Operators association. and was
composed OF Rabbi Stephen Wise OF the Free
Synagogue New York; Father r. A McGowan
Of the National Catholic welfare council,
Washington; and winthrop u. Lane.
The commission reports "a frightened pco-
pie In a grim death grapple with slow starva-
tion; that tho male workers are unemployed or
receiving but negligible pay for all Jobs: that
there are from $500 to 5000 families in the
coal regions in dire need"
Yet there il employment for all OF these pco-
pie, Jobs awaiting them. They were called from
their employment by force they fear to dis
obey and with which they must share their
pay when they are working.
Under the circumstances 1t may be that some
obligation rests society as whole to relieve
their distress; surely such obligation would lay
and would be Immediately honored IL the con-
dltion complained OF existed through no fault
OF the workmen themselves But since there IL
work available. since every head Of family in
that region may go TO work ana meet his own
necessities at any moment he desires to do %.
can it be fairly said that society Is called on
TO supply the necessities OF life? Those who
called these people from their work should
feed and clothe them.
According to Fords philosophy what do you
sayP What is the correct Answer2

A GRAVE PROBLEM SETTLED.

We have to thank the pallbcarers OF New
York for settling II very grave and disturbing
question. For some time society has been agl-
tated over the question, us q palIhearcr la
borer or Il professional man?"
After much heated discussion 1t has been de-
cided that a pallboarcr, reference is had of
course, to the professional palibearers Of the
larger cl!sal Is a professional gentleman and
not "A aboror. AS was explained by one of the
eloquent speakers at the convention OF p'bs,
'lusJ as much OF refined, professional gem
ucman az the doctors who precede us and the
lawyers who nearly always succeed us"
Therefore tho momentous decision was
reached tbat the palbearcrs should not union
tie, in the sense that they affiliate with the
federation OF labor. but should employ the gem
tlemau's agreement methods so successfully
used by the two professions referred to, 1t was
further decided end agreed that hencerorth
very eXactug code o. professional ethics should
be set up and respected by all p'b's in good
and regular standing, among the provisions Of
which 1t is set out that pallbearer shall re-
coive So for lifting IL casket from the home TO
the hearse with an extra dollar for carrying
it from the hearse to the church, another for
putting 1t back IN the hcarse. and still! another
for taking It out again and placing 1t beside
the grave. There viii be no question OF time
at all.
! In short, It is ethical for p'b's to enforce a
| minimum charge of 81 with an additional charge
| Of 81 every time they touch the casket. That's
| that Doubtless it Is matter of only short
time until there will be p'b's lobby at the
doors OF the legislature seeking to have p'b's
! board Of examiners set up, that the ranks OF
