REVENUE EROM
GASOLINE TAX
Estimates Are Computed for Inf0rma
ton of Those Advocating Re-
vision of Motor Tax Law.
DATA ARE SUGGESTIVE
Motor Vehicles in State Use Approx
mately 125, ,OO0, 900 Gallons of
Gasoline During Year.

Widespread discussion in Minnesota
of "gasoline tax" brought pertinent
figures today in the bulletin issued by
the state highway department.
Various proposals to use gasoline
consumption as the yard stick for
measuring the motor vehicle taxes, the
bulletin suggests, must recognize
facts:
Minnesota will continue leader for
good roads only when larger highway
funds are provided, now that other
states are supplying vast sums
through bond issues and appropria-
tions.
Out of 37,750,0OO gallons of gaso-
line consumed in Minnesota during
the last year according to the state
oil inspection report, probably less
than 125,0OO,OO0 were used in motor
vehicles.
A one-cent a gallon tax on gasoline
therefore, would have produced about
$1,250,000, or one-fifth of the amount
of revenue derived from the present
motor vehicle license schedules.
While five cent gasoline tax would
approximate the revenue return on
motor vehicles now, 7-cent tax would
be necessary to yield the expected an
nual total of $10,O0O,000 of trunk
highway funds, now that federal aid
is reduced.
But with a reasonable license tax
furnishing regular funds, an addi-
tional tax Of two cents gallon on
gasoline and used for permanent bet
terment would mean $2,5OO,O0O extra
improvements every year, paid for in
part by tourists from other states and
taking but $3.50 from the average car
owner in return for greater savings
he would make on repairs, tires and
gasoline.
"Tests show that a car making Is
miles on gallon of gasoline on unim-
proved roads will cover from 18 to &c
miles a gallon on good roads," the
bulletin continues. "Minnesota has
registered nearly 100000 motor We.
hicles. Average annual travel is esti
mated at 5000 miles, making a granc
total of 1,700,000,00O car miles veal
in this state. A saving of only cent
mile on car repairs, tires and gaso
line thus would aggregate $17,5O0 ,OO(
or more than twice the current reve
nue. now turned into the trunk high
way fund. 1t would mean saving O:
$50 a year to the average car owner
Another way, a saving of four cent!
a gallon on gasoline consumption
would total more than $5,5OO,OOO :
year in Minnesota. Any conclusion
leads to the question of whether Min
nesota car owners care to simply di
vert money from car and tire manu-
facturers and oil refners to road bet
terments."
The bulletin states that the high
way department is collecting data TO,
the Legislature but has not adopted
any recommendations on the subject.

Few Cattle Lost, !.
But Feed Shortage
Is Very Serious

Reports reaching both Commission
er of Agriculture and Labor Joseph
A. Kitchen and DR.. w. F. Crewe, state
veterinarian and also reports from re-
liable travelling men who were at va
rious points throughout the southwest
part Of the state, are to the effect
that the loss of life to cattle has not
been large to dag, but that condi-
tions are such that receipt Of feed
is imperative in a very short space
of time. Even with feed on
the ground, the transportation prob>
lem is a severe one, as the cattle are
reported to be too weak to be driven
to the roads and transportation to
points distant from the railroads is
difficult ~
According to the travelling men,
some of whom spent most of last weel.
in the territory, a few dead animals
are seen in going through the coun-
try but not large number.
Reports to the state officers indi-
cate that the most suffering is where
the number Of cattle is small and the
individual farmer failed to make pro-
vision for feed because of the usual
ability of that number of animals to
rustic" for themselves on any farm of
considerable proportions. Better feed
preparation was made for the larges;
number of cattle.
All reports agree, however, that the
condition is serious and that action Is
necessary to prevent future losses
from mounting high. @

ADVENTURE OF

The Twins sat down at little

hungry as woodchucks after nara
winter they were soon stuffing them

All the while hhe house talked

A WISE STEP

Members of the state administration took a
wise step in following the Interpretation Of the
state printing laws as construed by Attorney Gen.
eral Johnson through his deputy, Charles Simon.
The contract price on state printing is much low
er than the commercial price which many institu-
tions pay which handle their printing independ-
emily of the State Printing commission.
The effect of the attorney generals opinion
will be to place all state t,giptng paid for out of
appropriation under the control of the state print
ing commission composed Of Thomas Hall, secre-
tary of state, Joseph A. Kitchen, commissioner
of agriculture and labor and Frank Milhollan,
railroad commissioner. Contracts for most Of
this work was let under the farest possible COM
petition among the printers Of the state and all of
the work was awarded at figures much below
what many of the institutions are paying under
the old procedure
Members of the state board of administration
have seen the force of the issue raised by the
Ncrmanden Publishing company of Grand Forks,
holder of one of the large printing contracts.
They have readily acquiesced in the plan and have
notified every institution under their control that
all orders for every kind of printing in the future
must pass through the hands of the state printing
commission. .& a
The clear intent of the law regulating the let-
ting Of public printing was to bring all printing
expenditure under competitive bidding and expert
supervision. Before the opinion Of the attorney
general, every state institution farmed out it's
own printing without any check from the state
printer who is trained in the art of Typography
A considerable saving will result for the tax
M Vars If tho for nrasonf cOnfract m
state printing are lower than those existing in the
neighboring states On some classes of work,
the rate is too low but that is the states gain u-
der the competitive scheme that now obtains in
the letting Of public printing.

The family previously had made it's
home in Philadelphia, where George

AMERICAN STAGE

George Arliss comments that the American
theater seems striving for the strange and un-
usual, and 'there seems to be tendency to believe
that anything which gets away from the old ira
ditional forms of entertainment is worth while. ="
Being different attracts attention, but it isn't
necessarily an Improvement. Oscar Wilde wore
sunflower when he toured America, but that
didn't change Oscar Wilde.
What's really wrong with the stage, movies in
cluded is a lack of original thought. And freak
ishness is not originality.

SHIFTY NEW YORK AGAIN

In the matter of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway hearing New York is more adroit in
packing the galleries than in getting it's views
into harmony to carry the least conviction to pub
lie sentiment. Governor Miller is clever debater,
but poor equestrian in endeavoring to ride two
horses going in opposite directions. Either the
waterway can be built and will be a success or it
cannot be built and will not be success; and not
even resourceful New York can argue on both
sides at the same time George Miller persists in
his od-time error. In one breath he assured the
gathering that the canal was impossible, in either
economic or engineering aspect, but in the next he
was certain that the construction Of the waterway
would mean the destruction Of the Gotham ship
ping interest-which is the plain ascertain that it
would be successful. This latter is the opinion of
the New York waterway commission which has
the Erie canal on it's hands. On the great ques-
ton at issue, which takes no notice of the special
New York interest, Governor Allen had the un-
answerable argument and left New York with it's
back to the wall, the result that has been reached
whenever and wherever the waterway enterprise
has been debated.-St Paul Pioneer Press.

26 PIECES OF MAGIC

Take away from Americans the 26 letters of the

Those 26 characters, "a' to "z, are wonderful

is expressive of the hidden obscure and mysteri-

which it occurs-stealthy, silent, suspicious,

The letter "r' is dramatic. Observe it's use in
