The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1923-03-30

With one exception, these states are
financing their highway programs by
direct taxation. The exception is IL
linois which has raised $60,0OO,000 and
purposes now to add s1OO,000,000.
Pay-As-You-Use, Fairest.
The pay-as-you-go policy urged by
some in connection with the highway
program needs but brief analysis to
show the injustices in which it would
result.
How many and what kind Of
churches and schools and public build
ings could be built under that policy?
And, although it applies least to pub.
lie building and other construction,
how many homes would be built under
that policy?
The house committee on appropria-
tons in the present Legislature re-
Gently considered the needed provi-
sion for $1,2O0,000 with which to re-
place two teachers college buildings
destroyed by fire and uninsured. The
question was asked: Why tax our
selves now for the whole cost of these
buildings which are to be used by the
future which in common fairness
should pay its share? Yet the new
buildings may burn the first day they
are occupied.
The highway department proposal is
to allow the future to pay toward the
cost of imperishable public improve
ments. Otherwise the state will go on
using current funds to purchase high
way right-of-way and for clearing, grad
ing and drainage which will serve for
all time. If all the current highway
funds were used for those purposes the
present would get little or no benefit
from them. There is no direct value
returned by this class of permanent
improvements; it comes when Ghe sur
facing In put on.
1t Is plain then that the bond plan
will work with more fairness to both
the present and the future.

taxes. But the positive fact is that
the bond plan will bring more good
roads without increasing auto or road
tax rates.
The method of accomplishing this
seemingly paradoxical end is this:
The bond money will build extensive
permanent Improvements necessary to
reduce maintenance expense and the
saving on maintenance viii pay off the
bonds and interest. 1t will be noted
that under the bond plan the main
tenance cost on the system will be re-
duced to s2,750,000 from s4,15O,OOO a
year. The proposed bonds are to be

years, county reimbursement obliga-

TRUNK HIGHWAY BOND PROPOSALS
NOW BEFORE STATE LEGISLATURE
To UpbuiId All Roads.

The highway department approved
rather than opposed the legislation
which has resulted in the $4,000, 900
of indebtedness outstanding now
against the trunk highway fund, and
for good reasons.
The people were told that the pur-
pose of the new highway plan was to
adequately improve all the roads in
the state.
County road and bridge taxes had
mounted from three to five and up to
ten mills. 1t was plain that the coun-
ties must be relieved of part orthe big
burden of expense or furnished still
more funds. So the trunk highway
system of 1000 miles carrying four
fifths of the tonnage was designated
and transferred to the state for i'm
provement and maintenance.
Counties were left the state aid and
the local tax funds intact for the up.

roads, although the trunk routes carry
as much or more of that class of traf

Agriculture is the basis of our pros

the best help that can be given the
farmer and it benefits the whole pub

RHUBARB, ONE OF
The BEST DISHES
Favorite Plant Thrives Best in
Sections Where the Ground
Freezes Solid.

In our grandmothers' time rhubarb
was generally referred to- as pie

ing for the first fresh pies in the spring
of the year. Stewed rhubarb or rhu-
barb sauce is one of the finest dishes
that grace our tables in the early
spring time, and enormous quantities
Of the fresh stalks are marketed
throughout the northern and eastern
states.
Rhubarb does not do well in the
South. but thrives best in sections
where the ground freezes hard and
solid during the winter
Five to ten hills Of rhubarb will sup
ply the ordinary family, says the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
but it is always desirable to plant 4
few extra hills for good measure. The
plants may be set either in the late
fall or the early spring, but no stems
should be pulled the first year, and
very few the second year. After the
second year the plants will increase IN
vigor, but finally get too thick and the

DEMAND FOR MAN,
TEAM AND PL0W
Community Gardeners Solve
Problem by Employing Ex-
pert With Tractor.

Getting a plowman to pillow the
small garden is often a serious prob
lem, especially in cities and towns
where very few teams and plOws are
available. The community gardeners
have solved this difficulty by having
the entire tract plowed and narrowed
in a body either by team or tractor.
In this way the work can be done on
an acreage basis and is much cheaper
than by having each individual garden
plowed separately.
The problem of financing the plow-
ing and preparation of community gao
dens is solved by each gardener put
ting a certain amount, say 81, into a
common fund at the beginning Of the
season. This fund is placed in the
hands of a blowing committee who
employ a man with teams or tractor
at a pre-arranged price per acre, and
the committee sees to it that the work
is properly done. After the blowing
is completed and the work paid for
the committee returns the unexpended

THE MOON PHASES

Planting according to the
light and dark of the moon Is a
hobby with many gardeners
while thousands Of others,
many of whom are especially
successful, give no thought to
the subject. Climatic and soil
conditions usually must be con-
sidered, as well as the time the
back yard gardene- has at his
disposal. If the rain and sun
shine are not well distributed
during the growing season, 1t Is
certain that the plants will not
produce abundantly.

YEAR FIGURES SHOW
BOND PLAN PROFITS

Announcing that the highway
bond proposals are presented
solely on merit, Commissioner
Babcock gives the detailed figures
upon which they are based. The
alternate ways of using highway
funds which will come in during
the next 20 years at present
rates, he summarizes in these
yearly averages:
Account No Bonds Bonds
Sinking Fund. 81 ,s18.75o 1881, 500
Maintenance, etc. 4,o34, 900 2,744, 900
New construction 6,61o,25o 7,181,5oo
Totals 49,. SIP, 4s3 900 s13 49,, 900
The total with bonds averages
$1,000, 900 year more than without
bonds because the $50, 1000. 900 bond
item is added in twice-in the sink
ing fund and again in the conStruc-
ton fund.
The above schedule gives Com
missioner Babcock's plan to re-
lease $7,1S1,500 a year average
for Improvements and better
ments by Issuing bonds, while
without bonds the sum will be
only $6,610,250 from the same in
come.
The bond plan will raise the
sinking fund requirement but it.
will also reduce that for main
tenance, with the net gain. aver
aging $571,250 in the new con-
struction or permanent improve
ment fund. The extra item of
SSH, $50 each year will be saved
the public under the bond plan.
The income amounts averaging
$12,463,00O for the 20-year period,
are given in detail by years.
First the average number OF
motor vehicles is placed at 49,
500. Increases are put at less
than 10000 this year and $4,000
year to 1927 after which the
total is left stationary at 100000.
The largest total is smaller in
proportion to the population of
the state than the number of ma
chimes now owned in Iowa and
many other states and is held con-

Automobile taxes on the fore
going numbers are figured at the
agreed SIS average. 1t is as
sumed that increased revenue
from commercial buses and
trucks will make the motor We
hicle tax income average S9,710,-
600 for the 20-year period. To
this is added an average of ST.
$4,000 of federal aid, less than
has been forthcoming in past
years.
This gives the s12,463, 900 an
nual average for all trunk high
way purposes-bond and inter
est, maintenance and administra-
ton and new construction or bet
terments. Incidentally, current
trunk funds are only about a
fourth of Minnesota road funds,
nearly three times as much being
spent on the local roads.

THE SALARY QUESTION.

Printed upon the official ballots
November 9Th, for a referendum, is
the question as t whether or o the
members OF Council shall receive an
annual salary of $500. Regardless of
who may be elected this Fall, or who
may be the future Councilmen of
PleasantYille, this is a question de-
serving of the consideration of every
voter, regardless of party %affiliation.
There can be no doubt that, with the
rapid growth OF our city, the duties of
u City Fathers are necessarily null
tiplied. At the present time they re-
eeive no compensation whatever for
the services they render the city.
Statistics show hat the best governed
cities in this country pay their gov
erning bodies salaries commensurate
with the duties of the Office. 1t is IN
just to expect men to give their time
TO the business of the public, to work
faithfully in the public interest, with
cut some return for the labor per-
formed. We do not expect this condi-
ton to exist in private business, nor

smile is all that is necessary. You
could say, Oh, sir, if you think best.
Try, of course, to convey the idea that
the gloves are your own, and not the
ones you borrowed from your room
mate. But If, on the other hand, as
you 81 aptly put it, a strange gentle
man drags you out from under the
very hoofs of a maddened automobile,
first glance into the mirror at the back
of your vanity case to assure yourself
that your complexion is on straight,
and then smile pleasantly and say
right there in the middle of the traffic
May | have the pleasure of know
ing to whom l am indebted?" Don't
forget the whom-it's so class.
This speech is recommended to ev-
cry one, because n never knows

barrassing to get gummed up in ones
lines on such an occasion.
