State Highway Commissioner
Babcock and his assistants have
worked too much overtime on
propaganda connected with the
twenty million dollar bond issue.
This most likely had much to do
with the defeat of the measure.

The fate of the Babcock $20,.
100000 bond bill still hangs in
the balance. It scored a triumph
in the senate but the house has
refused for a second time to
bring it to vote by making it a
special order, and the leaders of
the opposition declare that, in
stead of losing ground, they are
gaining strength every day, in
spite of the terrific drive in
favor of the bill launched by the
st. Paul Pioneer Press and good
roads enthusiasts all over the
state. 1t takes SS votes to make
a bill a special order and when
the last move was made in be-
half of the Babcock bill it COM
manded only "a votes.

topeclal COrreSpOnuent.D
st. Paul, Minn.-After a strug.
gle of many years a law imposing
a tax on iron ore royalties has
been finally placed upon the sta
tute books of Minnesota. The
Bendixen bill, which passed the
house several weeks ago, was
put through the senate Wednes-
day morning after a rather heat,
ed debate and was approved by
the governor Thursday. 1t is es.
timated that the new law will
bring into the state treasury from
100000 to 100000 this season,
provided it is allowed to go into
effect. The mining interests will,
of course, attack the constitutions
ality of the act in the courts, just
as they attacked the validity of
the tonnage tax law of 1921, and
there is a possibility that they
may have their own way.

The talking machine Is as popular
in Yucatan as in the United States,
according to a report to the Depart

Small, cheap instruments cheer the In
dian hut, ordinary machines are found
In middle-class homes, and the most
elaborate cabinet styles grace the man
slons Of the wealthy. Perhaps no
other modern invention has done more
to enliven these homes. An enterpris-
ing local dealer has pOpularized and
capitalized this idea in phrase: "HOw
happy is the home that has its phOnO-
graph"
The American machine has mOnOpO-
nzed the market. Old styles with
horn have had an extensive sale, but
cabinet designs are preferred by most
customers. A few portable instru-
ments have been sold.
Practically all orders have been
placed by importers direct with fac
tories on factOry-price quotations, rail-
way and steamship freight and ma
rine insurance being attended 10 by
American agents of importers or by
freight fOrwarders at American ports.
The largest importer, and the one who
has done large part Of the local busi-
ness, has purchased on open credit.
Other firms have been, and will have
to be dealt with in accordance with
their financial standing and credit
rating. The most recent shipment, by
a manufacturer just entering the Yuca.

Colonel John T. Layfeld, 85 years
old, of 306 Concord avenue, Whining
ton, and we'll and popularity known in
railroad circles in Clayton, was hon
ored at the meeting of the Whining
ton Division, No. 224, Order of Rail-
way Conductors, on the retirement
from the secretaryship of the Organi-
zation, a position he has occupied for
the past 20 years. Colonel Layfeld
was presented with $85 in gold and
heartily congratulated for his active
and efficient services to the order.
Mrs. Layfield attended the meeting
with her husband and received the gift
of gold on his behalf, presented by
John Sweeney, a trustee of the lodge.
Mr.. Sweeney said that the order was
sorry to lose the services of a veteran
railroad man such as Colonel Layfield.
He summarized his long service as a
conductor on the Delaware division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, stating
that he served 49 years in this ca
pacity and has a host of friends
among the employees. Colonel Lay
field observed his 85th birthday an
niversary on Saturday at which time
the Ladies' Auxiliary presented him
with beautiful bouquet of flowers.
