NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION
MEMBER NO. 1871.

The Miner has accepted News
paper Association Membership in
the National Highways Association
Washington, D. c., with which are
affiliated two hundred and two road
associations and organizations. It
stands, not for any particular road,
but for Good Roads Everywhere,
through the establishment of Ma
tional Highways.
The MAP Device" at the head of
this column expresses our interest
in roads, your interest in roads. 1t
is the symbol of an Association
which for twelve years has worked
faithfully and hard for the dissem-
nation of road information, which
has published thousands of maps,
and millions of pamphlets, in the in
terest of good roads, and which be-
lieves that the future civilization of
this great country will go forward as
fast and no faster than we develop
our systems of transportation.
The motor and motor truck have
come to stay. The farmer of twenty
years ago on an isolated mud-wal-
low, miscalled a road, who today
lives near a hard surface road and
drives his car to town and back in
an hour where formerly he required
a day, knows what roads and cars
mean to him. Good roads mean
prosperity; they mean progress !;
they mean education; they mean a
full life, worth living; they mean
the greatest amount of goods pur-
chased for the least amount of haul
farm produce because they cost
less to haul over good roads.
Good roads everywhere mean
prosperity and happiness every
where.
That is why we have become a
Newspaper Association Member of
the Association which will eventual
ly produce Good Roads Everywhere
Is Gas Tax "Painless?"
A set of tires costing one humid
red and fifty dollars may run for
ten thousand miles on average
roads. The same set will run double
the mileage on improved highways.
The average car travels ten thous-
and miles per year. Therefore, the
average tire cost, supposing average
size and quality of tires are pur-
chased, is $50 per year on dirt
roads and SIS on fine roads.
Ten thousand miles of running,
at an average of Is miles to the
gallon requires 666 2-3 gallons of
gas. If gas is taxed 2 cents gal
lon, the average runner of ten
thousand miles pays 1888 per year
in gas tax In a state where there
are 100000 automobiles (which is
less than the average, California,
for instance, has about million) /,
the net income from the gas tax,
above outlined, would be $1,333,-
100000.

The Miner has issued a map of

The map has met with popular favor
and a large number of the wide

vertising matter. A trip of this
kind, embracing the finest of seem

Why all this pounding and knock
ing of Governor Preus by some of
the state press? Simply, because
he was defeated at the senatorial
election is not a sign of incom-
potency on the part of Jake. 1t
is only reaction of political unrest
which hits the voter about every
ten or twenty years and in which
unrest he was engulfed. Some of
these same papers were his loudest
champions before election and the
governor was everything that was
competent at that time He is just
as competent today as he was then.

B. c. Church of the Church Land
company of Duluth has taken the
trouble to find an exact figure of
the proportion of taxable and non

his figures are valuable in throwing
light on the reason for our present

1,356,347 acres of land in the
county, 518,969.65 acres are public
ly owned. According to figures Mr..
Church has compiled, after consult
ing the authorities at St. Paul and

Merchants in Hastings are openly

Merchants in Hastings are openly
antagonistic to the bus lines which
operate into the cities, and are urg-
ing the people of their town to pat
ronize the railways. There is a
steadily growing conviction that
railway service will be seriously
crippled unless the activities of the
bus lines are curbed. At the pres
ent time the buses pay practically
nothing for the use of the highways,
and the maintenance of the latter
is heavy burden upon the taxpay-
err. To put it very mildly, it is ex-
ceedingly unfair to the railways to
compel them to build and maintain
their own lines, and at the same
time furnish free roadbeds to their
competitors.-St. Peter Herald.
