DEMOCRATS ATTACK
LATE CROP REPORTS

WASHINGTON. Oct. IT =
Especial Correspondence. What
is the political significance of gov
eminent crop reports, partic alarly
of the October reports which are
the last issued before election:
This question has been asked dur
ing the last few days by farmers
and representatives of farmers or
CARNATIONS as well as by politicians.
Some queer things are shown.
Such a strong Republican paper us
the New York Herald-TriDune re-
fers to them as "singularities. "
Others may find stronger defini-
tions.
The crop reports are issued by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture and are signed by the
Secretary of Agriculture. The
"signularities" of the recent re-
ports are mainly these:
The corn crop has been greatly
damaged by bad weather, and the
effect of the report was to cause
a rise in corn prices. The corn
belt is made up mainly of States
which the Republicans hope to Cur

is needed.
The cotton crop, which went
through equally bad weather, was
not damaged to anything like the
same extent that the corn crop was
and the price of cotton Immediately
Geclined because of the report.

Nickles N. Dimes Reads the
Newspapers Of Minnesota
Gas Tax Man Observes State Press
Is Doing Its Part In Good Roads

SIN Minnesota, the progressive
newspapermen have had good part
in putting Minnesota up at the top
among progressive states-the good
roads states, of course" said Nickles
N. Dimes, gas tax man, with a good
natured grin. "And they're still on
the job.
Remarking that, in view of past
performance, solid newspaper sup
port was expected for the gas tax
plan, the gas tax man said he
couldn't get around to see them all
but is trying to get his latest picture
to them with cuts, too, 'to give their
readers treat-not a handsome man
| but sensible and no crab, you bet, =
he added with mixed modesty and
pride.
"First, here's Harry Wheelock US
ing the gas tax plan as shining ex-
ample to drive home a good sugges-
ton in his Fergus Falls Tribune:
When will Minnesota lawmakers
stumble on to the taxing of articles
of consumption, which would be paid
day by day, and spread the tax
burden over property that should
carry it? Present taxes penalize
thrift, which is the sure route to the
breakdown of our government.

and surplus cans. Other states tax
consumption of gas to build roads
but Minnesota laws force its thrifty
citizens to build and maintain roads
for the outsider to speed over, not
only free, but give them a premium
of &c gallon on the gas, and thus
balk the object of the other states.
"The Aitkin Independent Age, pub
lished by Messrs McQuade and Klee,
puts its o. K. on the gas tax plan
and continues:
Persons who drive automobiles
and who need and use the roads most
are the ones who are asked to pay ).
Tourists who come into Minnesota
would be glad to pay small tax if it
means better highways on which to
travel. A great amount Of the tax
would be paid by those from other
states who use our roads.
"And Editor Lum of The Staples
World sees the light and says:
Sure we will vote for gasoline
tax to be used in building better
roads. Two cents is not enough,
let's make it three and have some
thing to work with. Anyhow the
tourists will then help to pay for
wear and tear on our roads.
editor Kiley of The Grand Rapids
Herald-Review adds:
The proposed tax on gasoline con-
sumption doesn't appear to have any
opposition. In any event the fellow
who has a better plan shasn't stated
his case through the press to any
extent.
"And here's Frank A. Day of The
Fairmont Sentinel quoting Charlie
Dillman of The Blue Earth Post, just
back from visit to good old In-je-
an-ner, as saying that it costs the
car owner cents gallon to burn
gasoline in that state, that nobody
kicks and the tax keeps up the roads,
and that its good plan because the
beneficiary pays the bill. That's all
true-nobody kicks in Indiana
where gas tax collection are largest
