VOTE Eyes" ON GAS TAX

There may be some people in Min
nesota who are hesitating to vote
eyes" on the gasoline tax amendment
to the state Constitution for fear they
will be voting to tax themselves.
And it wouldn't be hard to under
stand that hesitation in these days
when people are far reader to vote
down taxes than they are to vote
new taxes.
But these people should under
stand that when they vote for the
gasoline tax amendment they are not
voting for a tax.
That tax is coming anyway.
The vote is simply on the question
what to do with the money thus
raised.
The gasoline tax is coming anyway
because the legislature now has pow
er to levy it, because nearly all the
the states now have it, because with
out it the thousands of outside cars
that come into Minnesota every year

Systematic Program to Kill all
Pocket Cophers- order to get rid
of all the pocket gophers in field
some sort of systematic and persist
ent program must be followed until
the last one has been destroyed. An
Alfalfa field can be kept entirely free
from this pest if this is done. Such a
program is as follows:
L. Poison all the new mounds to
be found in the field, and immediate
ly afterward drag the mounds down.
The pocket gophers that are not
killed by this first treatment of pois-
on will continue to burrow and throw
up mounds in the field. These new
mounds will indicate where the Sec
ond application of poisoned bait is
needed.
2. A week later put out the Sec
ond lot of poisoned bait at all the
new mounds, and drag the field after
wards to level the mounds.
8. The live pocket gophers re-
naming in the field can be located
by the new mounds that are thrown
up. Most of them will be killed by
the first two treatments. If any
remain after three or four applica-
tions of poison, secure a good pocket
gopher trap and persistently go after
them until the last one has been
caught.
Cooperate with your neighbor. If
one individual can keep his own field
free from pocket gophers, and there
are many farmers who do this, why
not by community action keep every
farm free from the pest.

pay nothing for the wear and tear on
the roads they use, and because Min
nesotans when they go into other
states must pay for the use of the
roads there through a gasoline tax.
But the constitutional amendment
will make it necessary for the money
derived from the gasoline tax to go
into the road fund where it belongs.
And if, without this amendment,
the legislature imposes gasoline tax,
as it must soon, the proceeds will go
into the general revenue fund to be
spent for general purposes, and not
a dollar of it will be used on roads.
By all means vote eyes" on the
gasoline tax amendment, so that
when the tax is applied it will help
pay for the roads as it should-Du-
