GOOD MONEY GOING. TO WASTE
est. Cloud Daily Journal-Press)

Commissioner Babcock states what
most people outside the Minnesota
legislature have known for several
months, that too much money is ex-
pended in maintaining trunk roads
subjected to heavy traffic. But until
the commission has the money to pave
these sections of highways, the roads
must be maintained in the best posi-
BILE condition, although this temper
airy cost is in excess of the interest on
bonds to construct permanent pave
ments. During the past year $3,00O,-
900 was used in maintenance, prob
ably the greater part being on roads
that good economical judgment would
decide should be paved. Of the ST.
275,OO received from licenses from
motor vehicles, $2,500,000 went into
the sinking fund to pay interest on
bonds issued by counties, and to re-
tire the bonds when due.
What paving was done last year
and most of which will be done the
coming year is from county bonds,
by state and federal
aid, as is the case in the paving be-
tween St. Cloud and Sank Centre.
Had the Minnesota legislature sense
enough to permit the issuance of
$20,000,00, to be paid from the re-
ceipts of automobiles, BUSES and
trucks, the roads that should be
paved would be hard surfaced in a
few years, and this waste of main
tenance stopped.
Where travel is not heavy well
graded and graveled road is the best
investment for the money-but when
the travel is so heavy that these roads
are destroyed, it is poor business not
to pave them.
1t is to be hoped that public senti-
ment will be strong enough to bring
results from the legislature another
year. No state in the Union would
receive bigger returns from the best
type of highways-and Minnesota is
fast being outdistanced by several
states. Michigan, for instance, is to
pave 500 miles the present year.
Why should the North Star state
lag behind? Ask the legislature.

SCHOOL NOTES

This Friday the public will have
another opportunity of seeing real
fast basket ball game. Our High
School team will play the Alexan-
dria High School team. 1t promises
to be hard fought game for both
teams. Let's help our boys win by
boosting.
Friday night of Jan. eleventh an
unusually exciting and hard fought
basket ball game between Melrose
and Sank Centre was played. The
game was hard struggle from be-
ginning to end, being at an even
score all the way through. The game
ended with tie score, twenty-five to
twenty-five. An overtime period wax
necessary to decide the contest. The
game then ended with score of
twenty-four to twenty-six in our IA
vor, of course.
Mr.. Morgan, accompanied by

DEMOCRATS co TO LaFoLLETTE

After wasting five weeks of valua-
BILE time, the United States senate of
last week broke the deadlock which
had existed since the converting. of
Congress and elected Senator Smith
of South Carolina chairman of the
Interstate Commerce. Committee to
succeed Senator Cummings of Iowa,
who is the president pro tenn of the
senate and is presiding officer since
the elevation of Calvin Coolidge to
the presidency.
The defeat of Senator Cummings
was apparent from the converting
Congress and he and his party would
have been in a much better condi-
ton if they had not endeavored to
force his retention, as many of his
colleagues objected to him holding
two important positions in the senate.
However, the defeat would not have
been possible had not Senator Capper
of Kansas, Gooding of Idaho, Howell
and Morris of Nebraska, Jones of
Washington and Norbeck of South
Dakota, Republicans, voted with the
LaFollette group to wreck their party
majority. Senators Magnus Johnson
and Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota
voted with the LaFollette crowd, but
for this they are not to be criticized
as they were not elected as Republi-
cans.
The purpose of the defeat of Sena-
tor Cummings is to revise the much
discussed Esch-C Cummings railroad
law which the radical element insis'
should either be repealed or material
ly changed.
Senator Albert Cummings first
broke into the public eye in Iowa
long before LaFollette was thought
of. He was recognized as a leader
in railroad regulations and the peo-
pies champion. His long political
life does not indicate that he is con-
trolled by the railroads at this time.
Now that Senator LaFollette has
secured control of the Democratic mi
nority in the senate, it will be rather
interesting to see the sort of legisla-
ton he will attempt to cram down
their threats.

Last year it was the Times and

the county that is not asking
the commissioners for favors, and
what it says about them, either
in praise or censure, is based
solely and wholly on merit, and
not from any personal considera-
ton. That is our idea of rum

fear or favor. However some
