GET Rid of That Backache
Sank Centre People Point the Way

The constant aching of bad back,
The WEAKNESS, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Distressing urinary disorders
Are often signs Of failing kidneys
And too serious to be neglected.
Get rid of these troubles!
Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant dur
etc to the kidneys.
Hosts of peaple recommend Doan's.
This is Sank Centre case.
You can verify it.
Andrew Wicklund, retired farmer,
box No. sos, says: "My kidneys got so
weak, l had to pass the secretions
every little while and at times they
burned in passage. I had a dull ache
in the small of my back, which hung
on all the time and tired me. Morn
ings, my back felt stiff and lame and
bothered me until I got stirring
around. If I bent suddenly or lifted
anything heavy, I had one of these
sharp kinks in my back. Doan's Pills
from Hanson & Emerson's Drug Store
fixed me up in great shape"

Road Wear and Tear
Runs Up Enormously
Ten Times AS Many Vehicles, Ten
Times As Heavy, Travel Ten
Times AS Far

Minnesota now has probably more
than 100000 motor vehicles-492,-
528 were registered and tax paid
several days ago.
The machines would carry at one
time all the men, women and chill
dren in the state.
End to end, they would extend
over 1900 miles-make continu-
Gus line from here to New York City.
But they would have to be spaced
60 feet apart in order to cover Min
nesota's big 7,000-mile trunk high
way system.
Foregoing facts and figures were
quoted this week by Nickles N.
Dimes. cts time people began to
realize the enormous increase of the
last ten years in the demands made
on the public roads in this state, /"
state," said the gas tax man.
Automobiles, trucks, carriages,
sleighs and other vehicles in Mime
sofa today are taxed on full value
basis of more than $310,000,0O0,
compared with a like total of $751;
O,000-a little more than tenth
as much-only ten years ago. Seven
or eight times, and tourists cars in
Guided, nearly ten times as many We
hicles are using the roads as there
were ten years ago; the average We
hicle now is probably ten times heav-
Ter and is driven probably ten times
farther now than was that of ten
years ago.
''All that indicates that road use
in this state has increased thous-
and times over during the last de-
cade," continued the gas tax man.
at means that inasmuch as we are
not spending thousand times as
much on our roads now as we were
in 1914, that either we are not carry
ing on now or were extravaganza
then. The fact is that road OUTLAWS
have been little more than doubled
during the period.
"But don't get excited, friends, for
nobody is proposing anything Of the

road user who doesn't know whether

$500 NEW FREIGHT CARS

Directors of the Great Northern
railway have authoized Ralph Budd,
pesident, to enter in to negotiations
for the purchase of $500 addition
al freight cars at a cost of approx
mately $6,500,O00. A large number
of automobile box cars are included
in this order.
The cars will be placed in service
next year to increase the capacity of
the transcontinental system for the
handling Of the growing volume Of
traffic in the territory served be-
tween the Twin Cities and the Pa
cific Coast.
These cars are in addition to the
$500 new refrigerator cars being
built, for use on the Great Northern
railway by the Western Fruit Elk
press company at its new st. Paul
shops.
Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
board, met with the directors for the
first time since he departed for Eur
|ope in June. Officials reported ex-
cellent prospects for heavy traffic
and resultant increased earnings dur
ing the remainder Of the year.

Thirty-Six States In Union
Now Have Gasoline Tax
Cars From Other States Could Help
Pay For Upkeep of Roads
Through Gasoline Tax

The people of Minnesota next No
vember will pass upon a number of
proposed amendments to the Consti-
tuition, among which is one author
izing the Legislature to impose gas
oline tax, the proceeds to go into the
state highway fund.
Not only should this amendment
be adopted, but the state pretty
nearly has to adopt it.
It should be adopted because it is
a logical and just way of taxing mo-
tor vehicles in proportion to their
use of the roads.
It must be adopted because it is
the only way by which cars from 9TH
er states, which use Minnesota roads
with increasing frequency, can be
made to pay any part of the cost of
building and keeping up those roads.
Also because Minnesota cars, when
they go to other states, are made to
pay through the gasoline tax for the
upkeep of the roads there, and it is
only fair, then, that cars from those
states should pay here.
AS to the equity of the tax, it is
obvious.
Assuming that the legislature fixes
it at two cents gallon, which most
states use, though some use more
and some less, it would work out this
way:
A light car that gets twenty miles
to the gallon would pay tax of ten
cents for every hundred miles it
travels.
A heavier car that gets only ten
miles to the gallon will pay twenty
cents hundred miles,
This, manifestly, is pretty close to
fixing the tax in proportion to wear
and tear on the roads.
To illustrate it still more clearly,
take two cars that get ten miles to
the. gallon, one Of them travel three
thousand miles in season and the
other twenty thousand miles. Under
the two-cent gasoline tax plan the
car that travels three thousand miles
will pay tax Of six dollars, and the
car that travels twenty thousand
miles will pay forty dollars.
Which, of course, is as it should
be.
Visiting cars which come in in
creasing hordes and are most well
come, under the present system pay
nothing whatever for their use Of the
roads, though Minnesota cars must
pay, through the gasoline tax, pretty
nearly wherever they may go.
OF course visiting cars should pay
something for the use Of the roads,
and the gasoline tax is sure way,
and the only imaginable way, to
make them pay.
Thirty-six states out Of the forty
eight now have the gasoline tax. It
won't be long before all of them
have it. Minnesota should not miss
the chance the November election Of
fers of escaping the possibility that it
will soon be the only state that does
not make visiting cars pay a part
of its road bill through the gasoline
tax.

Failure Of the Hickey bill, which

of Postmaster General Harry S. New,
while Judge Louis z. Ewbank of the

BILL IN CONGRESS
CITED TO COMBAT
ANTLRATTS RUMOR
Measure TO Add Power to
Commissions Said to Be
Result Of Resolution.

A bill before Congress, providing
for increased power of State utility
commissions over telephone corpora
tons, today become a factor in the
move for reappointment of Oscar
Rats. vice chairman. public service
con mission.
Rats. whose term expires May /.
has been opposed because he wrote
the order increasing income of the In
dianapoIis Wator Company 100000 a
year
The bill, which provides that de-
probation charges aag1nst the oper-
alton of telephone companies can be
regulated by State commissions. is
the result, It is said, Of a resolution
by Rats adopted by the National AS
sociation of Railroad and Utility Com
missiOners in December.
The Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany contended last spring before the
Indiana commission that power over
depreciation IS governed solely by the
Interstate commerce act.
Rats friends are citing the bill to
combat propaganda that he has pro
utility leanings.

NEED FOR ADDED
POLICE IN DANCE
HALLS REPORTED
Woman Officer Tells Chief In
Spection Reveals I'm
modeSty.l

Orders for added police vigilaI
and revision of rules governing pl.
lie dance halls were expected at DO
lice headquarters as the result of
report submitted today to Police Chief
Herman Rikhoff by Mrs. Anna Brun-
ner, policewomam, following an in
spection tour Saturday.
Mrs. Brunner reported that added
police help would be required to curb
the "immodest style Of dancing" found
to be in vogue in a popular downtown
ballroom. The report said 1t was i'm
possible to stop such dancing with
only one matron on duty.
Girls dancing together were given
as the chief offenders. 1t was sug-
gested that girls be prohibited from
dancing together.
The public dance hall question has
become acute recently, reports show.
A matron was attacked last week by
a young man who was denied admis-
sion to a hall when it was alleged he
vas intoxicated.
A visit to two popular dance pavil.
ions just outside local police jurisdic-
ton recently left the impression that
the style of dancing was left to the
conscience of the dancers, the report
says.
