JOHNSON'S
ELECTION IS
LANDSLIDE
Plurality May Reach 10000
-PreuS Defeat Is Slap
at Harding. Z

By United Press
ST. PAUL, MinnY July IT.
Plurality of Magnus johnson,
"dirt farmer" elected United
States Senator in yesterday s
balloting, grew into a landslide
at noon today.
The Farmer-Labor victor's margin
passed the $4,000 mark and a final
plurality of more than 10000 over
Governor ]. A. O. Preus was predicted
With 2,572 precincts out of 1921
counted, the vote stood:
johnson 246.2O2.
Preus 191, ,069.
Johnson, in a statement today de-
clared he was elected because Of the
principles of Government for which
the voters and 1 stand"
He issued a statement saying:
Government is instituted to pro-
mote the welfare of the people and
not to protect a few in the special
privileges given them. The high
tariff imposed on the consumers, the
unjust treatment of labor, the plight
of the farmers, the packing of the
judiciary with men favorable to the
high financial and railroad groups,
the short sighted bungling policy pur.
sued by our Government towards
other countries and their peoples and
other similar problems will receive
my earnest attention.
II congratulate the people of this
State on their victory. What the
organized farmers and workers
pulling together have accomplished in
Minnesota, they can likewise accom-
piish in other States OF the Union"
President Harding's Republican Ad-
ministration was dealt blow by the
dirt farmer" revolt
The-Johnson victory definitely takes
the Minnesota congressional group out
Of G. o. b ranks and aligns it with
the La Toilette Brokhart bloc.
Johnson will fill out the unexpired
term of the late Knute Nelson. who
died April 2S, and will be a candidate
for reelection in 1924.

HARDING STUDIES
ALASKA RAILWAY
AND TERMINALS
Can Promise Nothing in I'M
mediate Development
of Road,
By LAWRENCE MARTIN

Copyright, 1873, by united Hress.l
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July IL
Having studied the Alaskan railroad
over its entire length and having con-
sidered the possibilities of growth
and development, President Harding
is committed to maintenance of the
read in the most fashion until a
broader program is warranted.
He believed the present, and the
immediate future promise nothing in
the way of development of the vast
stretches of country through which
the line runs from Seward to Fair
banks
Even development of the tourists
possibilities of the Southern portion
depends on furnishing adequate water
transportation which is not now
existing In way to make travel
north bound attractive.
United States to Pay Deficit
Mr.. Harding probably wilt, ask
Congress to pay the deficit of the
Alaskan railroad this year, but he
urges the deficits be kept at the
lowest possible figure. The deficit is
SSIluldleu dl dbOuI SAsONN'NVV Ills
year.
OFFICIALS pointed out to him the
large standardized last section line
from Fairbanks to Tanana bridge has
just been finished.
Mr.. Harding upon his return may
have to decide between Anchorage
and Seward as the ocean terminal
of the railroad. Seward is on Res
direction Bay and has a fine harbor.
Anchorage is not so good, but shows
great possibilities of development. The
growth of Anchorage was made to
order. 1t is a railroad town built
by engineers who wanted to construct
the railroad in two sections.
Seward Was Terminal.
Seward was the terminal of the old
Alaska Northern, Guggenheim and
Morgan property, which was taken
over as a speculative proposition. and
the government was induced to buy
1t when it decided to build the rail
road.
Every one now admits the govern
ment was stung when it paid more
than million dollars for the prop
erty, as the whole line had to be
scrapped and rebuilt. and even the
route changed in some places. That
is one Of the scandals" about which
the Alaskans talk in connection with
the railroad.

Report on First Month of Gas
oIine Collection Is Com
piled,
FUND GOES TO HIGHWAYS.
Total Shows 100000 CAL
Ions Consumed in
June.

Receipts from the State gaso-
line tax for the month of June,
the first full period the new gaso-
line tax has been operative,
totaled slightly more than $780,
900, figures compiled in the Office
of Robert Bracken, State auditor,
today show. While a complete
check of the receipts has not
been made yet, it is indicated
that about $50 oil distributing
companies made payments.
Charles c. Benjamin, chief of the
collecting department, said the figure
probably was somewhat under the
normal amount Of gas consumed. in
asrhuch as he believed persons filed
their gasoline tanks before the law
came into effect.
Bracken estimated that about
100000 gallons of gasoline were
fee this way The tax thus lost
would have totaIled $4,000, Bracken
estimated.
From the figures 1t is estimated that
100000 gallons of gasoline were
used in various ways. Part Of the
money collected will be returnable to.
consumers, due to the provision Of
the law exempting from taxation all
gasoline used for purposes other than
the propulsion of motor vehicles.
Bracken said he believed consumption
would be considerably larger during
the next two months because of in
creased transient motor travel.
After nominal amount is deducted
from the receipts for maintenanee of
the, collection department. the REMAIN
der will be turned over to the State
highway commission for use in road
development. In view of the extern.
sive three-year road program spon-
sored by Governor McCray, and to be
executed by the highway commission
it is believed the annual collection for
the gasoline tax will fall considerably
short Of the figure believed necessary.
