The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-12-26

A student of public affairs and a
lawyer of national reputation who
has the background of long expert
ence on which to base his opinion
and judgment, says:
my observation leads me to be-
lieve that on the whole it was a
good thing for the country that
S naor La Toilette was candidate
for President on the platform which
he dictated. His proposal for the
government to buy or condemn the
railroads and operate them and his
proposal to do away with the power
of the United States Supreme
Court to declare an act of Congress
unconstitutional have really been
considered by the people as they
never would have been without the
issues being joined and it seems tc
me that the issues have been settled
and settled right If such be the
fact, is not the country rather in
debted to Senator La Toilette thar
endangered by his radical pro
posals?"
There is truth in this statement

until some movement is started tc
deprive them of the same. Luckily

Minnesota farmers realized $685.
100000 more on their corn, wheat
ana oats this year than in 1928, &C
cording to the Agricultural Founda-
ton which reports that the national
increase in grain values amount to
$550,000,000. Oats alone were re-
sponslble. for gain of 27ia mil
hons, while wheat brought farmers
of this state an added A millions
and corn an extra millions over
last year, the report states. while
the Minnesota corn crop for 1924
fell considerably below that of the
preceding year, the better price this
year brought the total income to
ia million dollars as compared
with 107 millions the year before.
The~2 million bushel increase in the
wheat crop this year brought the
value up to 25,000,000 as compared
with $21, 100000 of 1923. The
oat crop of this year is up to 1873
million bushels as compared to 1853

suit that farmers will have +aken

20 per cent in vehicles using the
state roads in the past year.
TO make the situation worse, the
money available for construction is
dwindling, because the demands for
repairs are increasing. Maintenance
cost passed the $3,5U0,000 mark in
1924 for the first time.
The attempt to build roads, using
only current receipts for that pur-
pose. is as foolish as it would be
Tor a man to try to build home
without borrowing, but spending a
dollar for a few boards and dol
lar for quantity of nails as fast as
he could save his money.
Mr.. Babcocks report will show
that the state is spending money IN
misery way upon its trunk high
WAYS. The state roads are carrying
four times as much traffic as all the
local roads, but nearly twice as
much money is used on the by-ways
that sustain one-ffth of the travel
as on the highways that bear four
6fths of it. This is not an argu
ment that the $19,730,000 spent OF
the local roads annually is too
much. but that the $11,75O,O0O ex
pended on trunk highways is no
enough.
The $19,37O,0O0 is raised by gen
eral taxes on everybody and from
earnings of state resources and IN
vestments, but the $11,75O,OOO i
all contributed by the federal gov
eminent.
The $2O,OOO,OO bond issue is

a mortgage is the only way the or

Preliminary figures from Com
missioner C. M. Babcock's report. to
be made to the Legislature, show
that less than half of the Minnesota
trunk highway mileage is adequate
to meet even the present demands
of traffic upon it. This is the stu
alton in spite of remarkable i'm
provements that have been made in
the past four years. The construc-
ton needed includes crawling.
grading, new bridges and paving,
but only one of them, pavement,
may be taken as an illustration. to
make clear the condition. There
were only Sc miles of pavement in
service in 1921, when the present
system went into effect. Tho mile
age has been increased to $50, but
there are 700 miles of road which
ought to be paved, to serve the pub
lie properly. The maintenance cost
on those 700 miles is eating UP
more than its share of state fund.
Maintenance is costing more than
construction, plus interest, would
cost. if spread over a term of years.
That is not considering the con-
venience of travellers or the value
of better service in dollars and
cents.
Not only is the state 700 miles
short in paving for present require
msnts. but the shortage is bound to
increase as traffic grows heavier.
For instance, there was gain of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-12-26

Only half as much money will be
state highways in 1925 as was used
in 1924 and less than one-fourth as
much as was used IN 1921.
A bulletin of the highway de-
partment states that $l2O00,UO0
was so used in 1921; $1O,000,O0O
lin 1922; $5,750,000 in 1928 ana
1924 each. Only $2,700,- 1000 is in
sight for 1925.
The, two leading reasons for the
decline in funds COR permanent
work are that much of such i'm
provement in the past was made
with the proceeds of county reim-
bursement bonds, which the depart
ment has had to assume, and that
the cost of maintenance and repairs
is growing, eating up the money.
Travel increased 25 per cent in
1924 compared with 1923, and will
increase in 1925, entailing more and
more expenditure for upkeep of dirt
roads which ought to be graveled
and graveled roads which should be
paved. The most expensive road is
one that issnot strong enough to
bear the ordinary traffic on it..
This is an expense that the highway
department cannot dodge. 1t is re-
quired to maintain all the trunk
highways in at least as good condi-
ton as they have been. After that
has been done, it may use what it
has left for betterment.
The upkeep is costing so much
and growing so fast that there will
be nothing left before long for con-
struction, if something is not done
to remedy the situation. Construc-
ton, it should be borne in mind, is
not merely paving, but grading,
crawling, building foundations, fill
ing low spots and cuts and building
bridges.
{. The only way to check this mount
ing expense for maintenance of in
adequate roads is to abolish in
adequacy. 1t ought to be all done
at the earliest moment, but so much
money will be required for that pur-
pose will have to be borrowed. The
automobile owners cannot pay it all
IN one year in taxes, but they can
pay it off in the course of long
term of years, redeeming the bonds
from year to year.
The best we can expect under the
present hand-to-mouth policy is to
use all the vehicle license fees to
prevent the roads from becoming
any worse than they are now. Not
dollar of government aid can be
obtained for that purpose since the
federal appropriation is for con-
struction only Meanwhile the other
states around us and farther awav
from us are spending millions of
dollars for highway building and
improvements. Paul Dispatch.

Tax-free bonds are large enough
in volume to make it difficult to
secure money for industrial invest

rates for money for farms, for fac

they leave the burden of national,

THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED.

Leon Trotzky is fortunate in be-
ing so prominent.
If he were less of popular idol
in Russia, he might be facing fir
ing squad instead of being banlshed
to the Crimea by the soviet rulers
of Russia.
His punishment is rather grim
revelation of the form of govern
ment which he helped to establish
in Russia.
He worked for a. dictatorship"
and he got it. For a while he was
one of the dictators. A dictator
ship is fine for the dictators. 1t is
not so fine for the Dictates.
While Mr.. Trotzky was one of
the dictators, those who rebelled
against his government were shot
down by the thousands. Generally
they were requested to dig their
own graves and stand in one end
of them to save the firing squad
any extra trouble.
If Mr.. Trotzky had been little
less prominent or little less popu-
lar with the Red army, that prob
ably would have been his fate.
Perhaps it will be yet.
But he has no cause for COM
plant. That was the kind of gov
eminent he wanted, and if he hap
pens to be on the wrong end of
The Dictatorship he shouldn't com
plain. That's his misfortune. The
form of government hasn't changed.
Tt is still a dictatorship, only Mr..
Trotzky doesn't happen to be enc
of the dictators any longer. He is
lust getting the treatment that he
handed out to thousands of in
nocent men, women and children.
We hope he still sees the glories of
''the new dav in Russia" now that
he hos seen it from both Sides

Last summer a good citizen of a
certain town, not over a hundred
miles from almost anywhere, built
wooden house for woman and
her children. He built the CHM
ney of brick because he had to do
so. The chimney was able to stand
alone, so he did not have to prop
it with wood. But the floors of the
house would not stay up without
props. The good citizen saved a
dollar by using the chimney as a
support for the floors. He nestled
the ends of the floor joist nicely in
to the bricks of the chimney. He
then covered up the job and got
his money.
| The rains fell and the winds blew
| in the most Biblical manner and
winter came after its usual fashion
The chimney settled little and
there was a tiny crack.
One morning the woman woke ur
with fire all about her. She tried
to get to her children. If she got
to them, no one ever knew it. The
good citizen who built the house
was not arrested for manslaughter
He is still building other houses OF
the same kind for other women anc
children.

there were any calves to sell. Then
the ranchers got together, bought
several carloads pedigreed Hereford
bulls, and sold Off or shot the other
breeding stock. The result has
been a 10O-per-cent increase in the
calf crop; a 100-per-cent increase
in the finished steer price; and the
ranchers need no laws to make
