While all the trunk highway inn
provements must be paid for eventu-
ally with motor vehicle tax funds, it
was officially explained, most of those
listed above are made possible now by
county reimbursement bond issues.
All interest on such bonds already is
bling paid from the auto tax receipts
and sinking fund of more than
$2,O0O,O00 has been accumulated to
date toward paying the obligations,
most of which run from 10 to 20
years longer. The interest is offset
partially by that collected on sinking
fund balances at 4 " per cent annu-
ally, also by reduced maintenance ex-
pense following the improvements
and most by the earning power of the
better highways, it was pointed out.

ceased to be the issue. Much has been
done by the present administration to
remove that complaint; and today the
question is, not who was right, but
what is WISE
"Those who upon mature reflection
conclude that our institutions would
be improved or safeguarded by the
adoption of the proposed constitut-
ional amendments, should Of course
support LaFollette. But to vote
now in memory of war experiences,
unmindful of the tremendous issues
Immediately at stake is to indulge re-
settlement, than which no more dang
erous. motive for public or private
conduct can be accepted. To act up
on resentment is, in some measure,
to justify the treatment complained
of. When whole sections of our peo-
pie threaten to adopt this as their
guide, they inevitably make for the
political segregation of race. groups
that must prove SO disturbing to our
community life. 1 do not assume to
criticise old associates who differ; but
the movement for concerted race ac-
ton is so significant and is, in my
Judgment, fraught with consequences
so grave, that / venture to appeal to
the individualistic spirit that prompts
men and women to regard the eXer-
else of Independent judgment as the
best proof of American freedom.
"To repeat, assume that Coolidge
is the only candidate who can be
elected by popular vote. Indeed, in
many quarters it is the accepted pur-
pose to defeat him, only to throw the
election into the House. That would
mean resort to the worst political bar
gain-counter in our history. 1t is
utterly at variance with LaFollette's
championship of the direct vote of
the people. We are told that the
Constitution provides for such an
emergency. 1t undertakes to do SO.
How far it succeeds rests with the
future. We speak of it glibly, as
though such an emergency might af-
ford popular entertainment, little
dreaming of the tremendous set back
every onward plan-domestic and
foreign-would necessarily suffer.
Emergencies are guarded against in
the hope that they may be avoided or
overcome. This is the first time in
our history that a great people ap-
pear to be invited to deliberately
create an emergency, and to welcome
it as triumph of popular sagacity.
We are asked to invoke the gamblers
luck, leaving all to the chance of a
Congress which was not even elected
with view to such decision. The
one practical certainty is that the
candidate who gets the larger popu-
lar vote would be definitely eliminat-
ed from consideration by the peo-
pies representatives in a Congress
elected several years ago. r.
''Many issues of great Importance
are presented. Large bodies of vot-
ers will of course follow the accepted
party dictate. But no one can
doubt that widespread independent
action threatens both old organiza-
tons. Few voters of independence
will be able to reconcile the several
planks they would prefer to support.
They must Therefore decide what they
regard to be the paramount issues.
This, I have endeavored to do in max

If a gasoline is popular in every
one of the SO states that have it now,
as it is reported, it may be assumed
that it may be as popular there in
Minnesota.
If Minnesota has a gas tax the
money should go for roads, in COM
mon fairness, because automobile
OWNERS now bound for all trunk high
way expenses ought not pay other
bills.
If the gas tax amendment is adopt
ed at the next election, as proposed,
| it will simply authorize the legislature
to put the money under any gas tax
law in the state highway fund.
If the amendment received ma
jority of all votes cast, as is predict
ed, it will be possible to reduce the
motor vehicle taxes without seriously
Gripping the highway program now
well started.
If the gas tax is added to the motor
vehicle tax, as good roads men advo-
cate, the benefits will be biggest, for
car savings will run as his as cents
mile while all taxes are under half
a cent a mile.
If 2 cent gas tax is levied in
Minnesota, according to best figures,
| it will yield upwards of $4,000,00O a
year, with 100000 from tourists,
but cost the majority of car owners
about SIS annually in small change
payments.
If any farmer has the idea that he
will be taxed for gas in tractors OF
stationery engines, he may be inter
ested to know that the gas tax is
taken generally only on gasoline fol
motor vehicles using the public high
ways or refunds are paid on that fol-
other purposes.
If there are any objections to the
gas tax proposal to be voted on, il
is suggested, inquiries will disclose
that they are made because of wrong
impressions-so get the facts ano
don't be mislead into voting against
your own interests, especially if you
are a farmer or car owner.
FINALLY, vote the pink ballot first
and vote yes on Gas Tax Amend
ment No. L." urged Nickles N
Dimes, adding that he will answer
any gas tax questions addressed tc
him at St. Paul.

BARES LOAN SHARK METHODS


The Minnesota Rural Credit Bur-
eau sounds a warning against fraud
ulent individuals who charge farmers
exorbitant fees for helping them
make out applications for loans
from the bureau.
1t appears that in some cases these
individuals pose as agents of the
bureau. In other cases they lead
farmers to believe that they have a
"pull" and that for a consideration
they can get loans through the bureau
in very short time. For such ser
vices they sometimes demand fee of
from one to two hundred dollars.
In communication to the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation, E. j.
Oppliger, chairman of the State Cred
it Bureau writes: "Quite few farm
ers have complained about the cost
of securing loan from this bureau.
The bureau has no agents and no
one receives any special favors from
it.
'"The only charge made by the
bureau is the application fee of SO
for a loan of $4,000 or less and $15
for loans between $4,000 and $4,000.
"Many farmers have been able to
get the work in connection with our
loan application done for an expendi-
ture of SIS or less. A charge of $40
is not exorbitant and in rare cases
the work may be worth $25.
"When we find that farmer has
promised to pay an unreasonable fee
for work he could do himself or have
done at a reasonable figure, we are
inclined to turn this loan down, with
the feeling that he is not competent
and would not be able to take care
of his property"
