Minnesota Automobile Tax
Is Well Below the Average
Two-Cent Gas Tax Would Fail to
Bring Motor Vehicle Levy Up to
u. S. Figure

Minnesota could add a 2-cent gas
tax to the present state motor vehicle
| tax and it's car and truck owners still
would be paying less taxes on their
machines than those of the average
state.
Nickles N. Dimes, the gas tax man,
addressed the foregoing statement to
readers of The Herald, and said it
was based on survey made by a dis
interested organization, the details of
which will be made public later.
Enquiries from many people, as to
whether the gas tax will be an added
tax or partly take the place of the
present tax on automobiles, what the
tax rate will be and so FORTH" said
the gas tax man," prompts this state
ment:
Minnesota voters at the Novem-
Der election will not decide whether
tax is to be placed on gasoline, but
only. whether the receipts from such
a tax, if one is levied by the state,
shall be used for needed road work
or to pay miscellaneous state ex-
penses. If a majority of all votes
cast are eyes" votes and the legis-
lature places a tax on gasoline, the
money will go on the roads. If the
amendment is not adopted, and fail
ure to vote is equivalent to a vote
against it, the money will go into the
state general fund and not for roads.
"The legislature now has authority
to order gasoline tax, but cannot
divert the proceeds from it to road
purposes without an amendment to
the constitution, which requires IA
vorable vote of the people.
Regardless of the result of the
November vote, the legislature next
January is expected to consider a gas
tax proposal, partly because of the
extra revenue it will bring the state
from outside tourists-probably more
than $500,000 a year. Also, it will
decide the rate of tax, whether it
sail be an additional levy and all 9th
details. 1t will have the same control
over that as over the motor vehicle
tax rates and may adjust them as it
deems BEST"
The survey on which the gas tax
man promised details later shows
among otherathings that in spite of
the $12 minimum, Minnesota auto
taxes are less in proportion on the
| lighter and less expensive cars than
on the heavier costly models, as COM
pared with those in the majority of
states.

Webworm Eats Beet Tops, Re-
duces Yields-Sugar beet fields in at
least three Red river valley counties
have been under attack by the sugar
beet webworm which feeds on the
leaves, thus defoliating the plant and
reducing tonnage and sugar content.
G. E. Nickel, agricultural extension
entomologist from University Farm,
was called to the scene and assisted in
giving spraying and dusting demon
strations, some 25 farms being visited
by him.
Where attempts had been made to
control the pests by spraying, Mr..
Nickel found that not enough paris
green had been used. He recon-
mended four pounds of paris green
to the acre and the use of spraying
machines developing about 100
pounds pressure. Ordinary potato
sprayers cannot be used' successful
ly. If dusting machines are avail
able, five pounds of paris green and
Is pounds of hydrated lime should
be used to the acre.
! Moths of the webworm show a par
ticular liking for lamb 's-quarters and
Russian thistle as plants on which to
deposit their eggs. Two broods are
. produced in year. The worms form
cases or cocoons of silk and particles
of earth and winter over in ti1e
ground, emerging in the spring as
pupae.
