ADVENTURE OF

One day Mr.. Flippety Flop, the
kind little fairy with the en-or-

"Any mail for me?" he asked in a
CHEEKY voice.
Nick looked in Mr.. Flippety Flop's
letter box and handed him pile of
letters. Eyes, sir. lots of them"
said he.
"Valentines, every one of them,
bet you'll" cried the little fairyman.
And sure enough they were.
This one was from Pauline Por-

Yours truly, Polly Pocupine."
This one was from Marty Mink:

EVERY CLASS SUFFERS

Those states which pursue a
sound and liberal tax policy are
certain to benefit industrially at
the expense OF those other states
which seem bent on thrOttling and
driving out industry by oppressive
and penaliZing taxation. 1t Is
lamentable to see instance after in
stance in which Wisconsin Is suf-
fering in this respect. 1t Is not
only what the Wisconsin tax policy
is doing to productive and employ
ing industry, but the apprehensive
fear OF worse to come that Is de-
mOralizing the state situation. In
addition to the several big con-
Germs leaving or about to leave
Wisconsin because Of a tax burden
too heavy, to which reference has
been made in these columns, there
is the case of the Cooper Under
wear company of Kenosha, which
abandons it's plans of expansion OF
it's plant in that city and transfers
it to Michigan, which encourages
instead of penalizing Industrial
enterprise. The president OF this
company sent the following tele-
gram to officials:
Because of the present Wis
consin program Of legislation
adverse to industries, we have
decided to expand the Michigan
plant to take care of additional
production instead of the ke-
nosha plant, as original y
planned. This year the plan is
to increase the production of
the Manistee plant 33 per cent.
We are already adding addi-
tional employees as rapidly as
possible"
In Minnesota generally and in
the Twin Cities partiularly the
hope Of an industrial expansion has
every reasonable foundation. The
situation is such that nothing can
blight this hope but mistaken
taxation policy. Enterprise look
ing to expansion and new UNDER
takings seeking satisfactory lOca-
tons keenly examine taxation
conditions. Wisconsin is losing
through its mistaken policy. 1t is
driving out the industries which
pay the taxes and fill the pay en-
velOpes. 1t is adding to the taxes
of the concerns which remain and
reducing the sales of the business
it retains. Every farmer and every
business man will feel the effects.
Every farmer and every business
man in Minnesota is subject to the
effects of state taxation policy,
suffering or benefiting as it is bad
or good, unsound or wise.-St. Paul
Dispatch.

ROAD OPPORTUNITY IN
MINNESOTA

Tourists are calling at Mime
sofas door for entrance into the
scenic parts of the state. The
building of hard road from near
the Iowa line to the northern
counties has increased the number
Of visitors by several thousand.
Several years ago California
paved her main highways for the
tourists, with the result that mil
lions of dollars are left there every
year by the tourists. This can be
duplicated in Minnesota when we
do what California has done.
There must be hotels, of course, and
certain small developments that
go with opening new region, but
these will take care of themselves
after We get the roads. The pres
sure of the tourists will settle
those questions very largely.
The State Highway Commission
proposes the issuance of twenty
millions of bonds for the next two
years, ten million per year. A
good many people will hurry to the
conclusion that this means in
creased taxation. it means no in
crease in taxation, because the
user of the highway will pay the
bill and also maintain the high
way.
We believe Mr.. Babcock has
been very fortunate in outlining
program that is practical and that
Is working up to date. He says the
state needs one thousand miles
more of paved road, and this
twenty million dollars will build
that and maintain all the other
roads at the same time. With one
thousand miles more of paved
roads on those lines where traffic
Is too heavy for maintenance cost,
there can be two roads built across
the state, Observation-Disclosures,
Minneapolis-Southwest, and also
the Minneapolis-Duluth line can
be built on which traffic is very
heavy, and where the maintenance
cost compels paving. The theory
of this paving plan to supply a
hard road where the traffic is so
heavy that the cost of maintenance
exceeds the cost of paving.
This is very favorable time for
paving contracts, as the price is
down good deal from what it
was one or two years ago. It is
hoped that the Legislature will
give prompt support to this meas.
ure and thus complete Minnesota's
road program.
In the opinion of Mr.. Babcock it
will not be necessary to issue any
more road bonds in Minnesota, be-
cause the serious places will have
been taken care of out of the PROV
posed amount and the balance of
the roads can be maintained as
gravel highways. There, OF course,
will be more or less paving in
small way. as some bad place de-
wel0ps when traffic increases on
given Highways, but with the three
or four great trunk lines built, the
heavy traffic will be well under
control.
Minnesota has not discovered yet
her power In the tourist direction.
More people seek vacations in
Summer than IA Winter. II Cali
4ornia can find It profitable to
carry on big enterprises In the
Winter. certainly Minnesota can
support big tourist enterprises in
the Summer, and II is this tourist
business scattered throughout the
State that will yield benefits to
every localHy.-Mi Minneapolis Jour
