Foulke took issue with a state

which 1t was stated that the appli-

to the enforcement of the Volstead
act would have been to jeopardize
the passage of the enforcement
bill when it was before Congress.
In answering, Fouldke says:
'sThat means you have bought the
bill with congressional patronage

money, but, far worse, with offices
paid for out of taxes levied upon

CONTROLS RUBBER OUTPUT

Senator Medill Mccormick says
that Britain, by manipulation of crude
rubber resources, she controls, will be
able to pay off in ten years the 1884,
SOO,000,000 she owes to the United
States, but that it will be done at the
expense of American Automobile
owners and other consumers of rub
Der. Ford and Firestone will investi-
gate the chances of developing rub
Der production in the Philippines; but
the cost of crude rubber is said to
;lave already nearly doubled, and tires
are going up. If Mccormick is cor
rect, there won't be much difference
between this method of eliminating
the British debt and cancellation. If
tires end other rubber articles they
can't get along without are going to
cost the American people several
hundred million dollars a year more
than hitherto, because the British
have the control of eighty per cent of
the output of raw material, the con-
fident assertion by British statesmen
that the debt would be paid had some
thing more back of it than was
generally supposed. Minneapolis

Building and Loan Organ
ization Ready for Work
Local Branch Trustees and Appraisers
Have Been Named-C. e. Lucas
Local Representative

| Sank Centre can boast of a Build
ing and Loan Association which should
mean much to those who would build
homes and to tae growth of the city.
Twenty citizens have become men,
bers of the Minnesota Building and
Loan Association and a local branch
has been formed. The board of Trus-
tees or appraisers are, VIM. M. Park
er, H. J. Sauer, Asa M. Wallace, VIM.
M. Moore, Gunther Hillerud, L. W..
Gingery, Postmaster ]. A. Schoenhoff,
F. T. Pangburn and F. A. Falk with
G. E. Lucas local representative.
The citizens of Sank Centre may
expect the same or better service
through this arrangement than is gen.
orally afforded by local building and
loan association for reason that the
city is possibly not large enough to
support an active association of it's
own and for reason that the Minnesota
Building and Loan Assn, has an auth
orized capital of $25, 100000 and is
purely loaning and not speculative
institution, and will endeavor to
promptly take care of all applications
for loans approved by the local
board.
Those who take up the building and
loan plan undoubtedly may be the own
ers of their own homes if they possess
the virtue of industry. It means much
to the solving of the housing problem
in the growth of the city and the de-
velopment of self-relience of our
citizenry.
1t is claimed that the state of O'io
has 800 building and loan associations,
that SO new charters were granite
during the year 1922, and that the
total assets are $500, 1000 100000 and
that 10000, homes were built in that
state during the first six months of
the year and that the associations
were prepared to assist in financing 2
like number for the balance of the
year.
These statements are taken from a
newspaper report appearing in the
Cleveland News under date of July
10, 1922, made to Governor Davis.
As a panacea for poverty it is well
to quote the very apt observations of

"Big Five" Of Lacrosse
Beat Local Legion Quint
Wednesday Evenings Contest Very
Fast-Denver Tigers Coming Mon
day-AdmissiOn Price Reduced

One of the most interesting games
of basket ball seen on the local floor
took place Wednesday evening when
the "Big Five" of Lacrosse, Wis, met
the Sank Centre Legion team. The
Osakis High School coach refereed
the contest and gave general satisfac-
ton. The game was very fast and
exceptionally clean. Sank Centre was
compelled to play an up hill game
most of the time but led by % to 20
score at the beginning of the fourth
quarter. In the last period of play
the five men defense of the visitors
opened up a style of play that baffled
the local quint and they slot six
mighty lucky baskets from every
angle of the floor, in rapid sue
cession, while the locals were Only
able to cage one, the final scare be-
ing "a to 80 in favor of the visitors.
Sank Centre missed a number of OPP
portunities to score but the. victory of
the visitors was clean cut.
Monday evening of next week the
local Legion team will meet the
famous Denver Tigers on the Junior
High school floor. This aggregation
has been generally successful in their
contests in the northwest and the
game should prove a very interesting
one. Commander Berggreen of the
Robert Swift Post has given orders
to reduce the price Of admission for
next Monday evenings game from
SOC to 35c. The expense of bringing
the Tigers to town is very heavy and
il is hoped that the public will ap-
preciate the price reduction by filing

ALLOW LEGISLATOR
TO DECIDE ON BONDS
QUESTION SHOULD BE LEFT TO
REPRESENTATIVES, WHO CAN
SIFT FACTS
REDUCE UP. KEEP COST
CONSCIENTIOUS LAWMAKERS
APT TO FIND THEMSELVES
IN SERIOUS QUANDRY

Carefully gathering the facts and
weighing all claims, many members Of
the state legislature are becoming
strongly convinced that highway bonds
will give the use of more good roads
every year without increasing taxes
and are wishing the plan was better
understood by their constituents, ac-
cording to the current highway bull
letin.
One member expressed common
sentiment in the legislature:
II am satisfied now that any oppos-
ition to the bond plan is due to misin-
formation or the lack of information,
am going to vote for it because 1
know it is the thing to do. But it
would help more if my constituents
better understood the plan or would
tell me to use my best judgment for
their benefit y
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, pledges that there will
be no cause for regret upon adoption
OF the bond plan. ut will reduce high
way upkeep costs by extending per-
manent improvements; the saving will
more than cover the bond interest, and
the public will enjoy the use of more
good roads every year and especially
during next five years-all without
one cent of increase in taxes, said
the commissioner.
The highway bulletin points out that
the senator's and representatives are in
the best position to obtain the facts
and make the right decision, while it
is difficult for citizens not familiar
with financial problems to grasp
bond proposition. 1t suggests that the
later write to their members in the
legislature, presenting their views,
but urging the members to use their
best judgment after carefully consid-
ering all sides of the matter.
