For Immediate Consideration

Within 60 days after the passage
of those state laws made possible by
the good roads amendment more than
a thousand men with thousand teams
were patrolling Minnesota roads.
From that moment Minnesota roads
began to improve and that improve
ment has continued until today they
are the talk of the touring world.
1t was quick action that brought
these immediate results; quick action
and good judgment in doing the
thing first that would bring the neces-
sary relief at once. The quick action
was taken by c. M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner.
Mr.. Babcock now asks for some
more quick action by the state legis-
lature and the people of Minnesota
He asks for the sale of some of those
road bonds authorized by the good
roads amendment in order that i'm
provements may be pushed with all
speed and the program of trunk high
way improvement may be fulfilled.
These are to be longtime bonds.
They are to pass some of the expense
of building Minnesota roads along to
the coming generation which will reap
far more benefit from them than can
ever be the portion of this generation.
Mr.. Babcock is entitled to the i'm
mediate consideration of his suggest
ion and it ought to be adopted.
Brass Tacks and Gas Tax
There is growing sentiment in
favor of a nominal tax on gasoline
used by motorists. In the last year
the fame of Minnesota's highway
system has spread over the entire
country and thousands of tourists
have been attracted from other states
They enjoy the use of Minnesota roads
and would willingly pay a small tax
to aid in their maintenance and up
keep. 1t is regarded as certain that
the next legislature will provide some
form of tax on gasoline consumed.

and Miss Beatrice Sweet of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor came to this
country sixteen years ago, accom-
panied by their two youngest daugh-
tiers and a granddaughter, who is
now Mrs. Royal Wagner of Parkers
Prairie.
A very delicious one o'clock dinner
was served, and the afternoon was
sent in singing old Scotch songs and
PLAYING instrumental music.
The happy couple was presented
with bouquet of roses and a purse
of money from the family-Alexan-
dria Citizen-News.

Star Drives Milk Wagon to Get Data
for Film
For sheer, unadulterated excitement
David Butler recommends driving g
milk wagon as a sure cure for ennui.
David, who will be seen at the
Caughren theatre in '"The Milky
Way" is a realist when it comes to
enacting a role before the camera, and
when Louis Burston, producer of the
Butler pictures told David that he was
the driver of milk wagon in his next
story, then David went out and looked
up the man who delivers milk at his
beautiful home in Hollywood.
II want to ride around with you
for week." David told the driver.
care you crazy?" asked the driver.
'The jury is still out" replied Da-
vid laughingly.
"Well you must be crazy to want to
get up at o'clock and shiver around
ten-mile milk route" declared the
driver.
at was good sport at that" said
David in relating his experience" l
learned number of interesting things
one of which was that the coolest per-
iod of the day is that half hour or so
when the first streaks of dawn ap-
pear and before the sun rises"
"a thing, too, that surprised me
was the number of people who go to
work around 5 o'clock in the morning.
"Four o'clock, though was as near
the zero hour of life as / ever want
to be. Nobody seemed to be awake.
Occasionally an auto of joyriders
whizzed past US, and once we saw a
policeman pounding his beat but
otherwise it seemed a fitting hour for
a tragedian to play Hamlet "

Elections-Strict Enforcement
Will Be Continued

Washington, Nov. 9.-Proposals
for legislation modifying the Vols
tead act with respect TO the sale of
beer and light wines were \regarded
today at the treasury at extremely
likely as a result of the outcome OF
the Tuesday election.
In the meanwhile, however, Sec
retary Mellon was reported as hold
ing that the treasury's policy of a
strict enforcement of the prohibl-
ton laws would continue unchanged,
despite the expression of public op-
inion in different states until con-
gress acts.
Unless the question actually come
up in congress, high treasury Off
cials indicated litSe consideration
will be given to the possible source
of revenue which might be developed
from taxes on beer and wine.

c. O.P. LEADS IN
CONGRESS SMALL
REPUBLICANS RETAIN CONTROL
OF CONGRESS, WITH SENATE
MAJORITY CUT IN TWO AND
HOUSE SLASHED TO MERE
HANDFUL.

New York, Nov. 9.-Whether the
republicans will have six or seven
votes over the necessary majority of
21S for control of the house proba-
bly, will not be known until tomor-
row. One district, the third Kansas,
is delayed. With this district missing
the republican strength is 224;
democratic 2O7; socialist /; farmer
labor 1 and Independent 1.
Latest figures today show the next
senate will have 52 republican and
Al democrats, and one farmer-labor
representative, with results Of two
senatorial contests-one in Washing
ton and the other in North Dakota
still undecided.
New York, Nov. 9.-Continued re.
publican control of congress but with
a senate majority cut in two and a
house majority of 100 slashed to a
scant handful, appeared today as the
net result of last Tuesdays congress
sibnal elections with returns almost
complete. Tight races in the few un'
decided districts threatened to post
pone the final figures until tomorrow.
The general picture of Tuesdays
storm of ballots was virtually finish,
ed early today when belated Montana
returns sent the republicans over the
top in the house contest. Election OF
R. Scott Leavitt, republican, in Mon
tana, gave the republicans the 21s
votes necessary to control the next
house, but even these republican
tidings were coupled with news Of de-
feat of Representative Mccormick
republican, Montana by his democra
tic opponent John M. Evans.
In the returns to date 76 places
now held by republicans had beer
captured without a single counter
balancing democratic loss.

TRAFFIC VERY HEAVY
Freight Movement Is Nearing Its
Highest Peak.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Volume OF
traffic on the country's railroads a
gain assumed record-breaking pro-
portions with the end of October, the
American Railway Association, thru
its car service division, reporting to-
day that the total number of cars
loaded with revenue freight by Am
erican roads in the week ending Oc-
tober %, was 1,O14,OOO. On only
one other week in railroad history,
during October 1920, has more
freight been carried, and the load
ings this year resulted after several
successive weeks of heavy freight
business. &zsIAs
The association reported further
that locomotive and car repairs were
being turned out at "a more rapid
rate on most of the roads.

REVENUE MOVE Up
UNDER NEW TARIFF
IMPORT TAXES MAY REACH
$445, 100000 THIS YEAR-THE
TREASURY OFFICIALS VIEW
SITUATION WITH A GREAT
DEAL OF SATISFACTION.

Washington, Nov. "a federal
revenue of approximately S445,O00,.
900 this fiscal year from import tax
es, or about $1O0,00O,O00 more than
ever before in the nations history,
was forecast today by customs of.
ficials on the basis of returns under
the new tariff act for month and a
half of its operation and the almost
unprecedented income which immedi-
ately preceded enactment of the
measure, when there were heavy with
drawaIs from bonded warehouses and
a rush of imports to avoid the high
er duties carried in the new law.
The actual revenue for the first
month was $4O,s6s,266, or at the
rate of nearly $500, 100000 year.
Officials said this was the first time
that customs receipts had reached
$40, 1000, ,0OONi the month after en-
actment of a new tariff. They ex-
pected some recession from this
monthly total, but said there was lit
tie or no indication of the slump in
imports which usually has occurred
during the first six months or year
of protective rates.
Two explanations are offered
One is the abnormal foreign ex-
change and world economic condition
and the other the recovery OF the
country before passage of the Ford
ney-McCumber act from the after
the-war industrial depression and
attendant buyers strike.
Were there to be any great de-
preston in import trade it would
be manifesting itself by this time,
according to these officials. Instead
of any such manifestation, they de-
clare that foreign goods are reach
ing the country in increasing quanti'
ties as evidenced by the congestion
in the appraisers stores at the port
of New York.
Treasury officers view the import
situation with much satisfaction. A:
it now is developing the government
is getting a greater revenue ever
than was estimated would be yielded
and at the same time the country il
absorbing foreign goods in such vol
ume as in their judgement should as
sist foreign nations to liquidate theil
debt to the United States.

disaster if they venture tor oppose

The gravity Of the situation in the
Near East was emphasized by Lord
Curzon when he termed it "the most
definite menace 10 the peace Of the
world" =
Replying to what he described as
gibes made at himself by former
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Winston Spencer Churchill, he de-
cEared Lloyd George did much to win
the war and that his record would
be inscribed in lasting letters ON the
pages of history, but that some of
his actions as prime minister had not
been helpful to Curzofs department.
The foreign secretary referred to,
the issuance of the British manifes-
to September 16, in which it was de-
clared the empire was preparen to
fight to maintain the freedom of the
Dardanelles. This, he added, was not
only issued without his knowledge
but was unfortunate in it's charac-
ter and tone" l,..... 81.
When there was a premier with
the peculiar gifts of Lloyd George
such a man must exercise unusual
influence on foreign agairs, General
opinion, however, he thought, was
with the new premier, Bonar Law,
in his declaration that the work OF
the foreign office, which is largely
expert, must be done by the depart
ment itself subject to the conIrole
of the, cabinet and the personal sup
ervision of the premier. .

BRITISH SOLDIERS ASSASSl-
NATED-THE SITUATION IS
GRAVE.

Paris, Nov. 9.-The troubled state
of affairs in Constantinople may not
be getting any worse, but there GER
tainly seems to be no Improvement
in good feeling between the Kemal-
lists and the allied commissioners.
Two British soldiers were assassi-
mated last night at Kassimpasha, ac-
cording to the Constantinople cor
respondent of the Petit Parisenne.
Colonel Charpy, commander of the
French troops in the Constantinople
area, told the correspondent he con-
sidered the situation one of the gray
est nature. The allied generals and
commissioners have informed Rafet
Pasha, the governor of Constantine
pie and Hamid Bey, Turkish envoy
there, of the deep dissatisfaction OF
the allies over the Kemalist attitude
Despite allied protests, however,
Rafet has maintained all of the meas
urs recently taken by the national
lists except the higher customs duties
on foodstuffs.
The attitude of the Kemalists be-
comes sitter every day and the ex,
tremists seem to be in power al
Angora. An indication of this was
the reiteration yesterday of the de-
mand that the allies evacuate both
their military and naval forces from
Constantinople and surrounding dis
tricts.
.Ismet Pasha, foreign minister n
the Turkish nationalist government
lis in Constantinople to receive a de-
cision on the British application fol
postponement of the peace confer
ence at Lausanne before proceeding
to that city.
Both the eager public and the gov
ernment were in the dark today re
garding grave situation in Constan
tinople, the lack of information being
the result of the cuttings OF the ca
BILE near Chanak by the Turks Wht
are refusing to allow the cable com
pany to repair it's lines. Government
officials today were asking newspa
per correspondents for news.
It was said at the foreign offic
that the only thing that could b.
done was to await report a
martial law had been declared in Go!
stantinople. Complete discretlopar
powers in this regard are in tn
hands of the allied authorities here.

News was received in Abbeville
Thursday that Mrs. L. W. Perrin,
who is in Spartanburg for a visit to
her son, L. W. Perrin, Jr., had had
a serious fall and was in hospital
recovering from the effects. The fall
was down the stairs and rendered
Mrs. Perrin unconscious for few
minutes. No bones were broken and
friends in Abbeville are glad that
she is recovering from the shaking
up.
