POSTAL SAVINGS FALL;
Disc0ntinuance Of Sale Of Treasury
Certificate Not Felt Here.

Despite the discontinuance of sale
of treasury savings certificates in
Texas and other Southern and Middle
Western states, postal savings de-
posits in San Antonio are showing a
steady decrease, according to statistics
issued in Washington and sent to
Postmaster L. G. Lucas.
During February there was a de-
crease of S305 of the amount on de-
post in San Antonio. The balance
at the close of the month was $780,
G2i. In January, San Antonio ranked
ninety-second in the amount of de-
posits and, in February, San Antonio
dropped to ninety-sixth place.
There was a general increase over
the country of S1,S50,0O0 in postal
savings deposits, the greatest increase
being in New York. A large per
cent of the postoffices, however, re-
ported decreases.
According to a statement issued by
Washington, the large increase in pos
tai savings is attributed to the fact
that the sale of treasury savings Ger
tificates was discontinued in West
crn and Middle Western states.

over the possibilities offered this year
and have expressed a determination
to take advantage of the opportunity
offered by the San Antonio Aeronau-
nc Association TO set a new record.
Actual work on the preparations
that have TO be made at Kelly Field

within a few days. Filling the big
gas envelopes and making prepare
tons for the start of the balloons, will
be one of the most interesting parts
of the race.
Maj. Horace NJ. Hickam, command
er of the Advanced Flying School at
Kelly Field, visited Indianapolis on
his recent trip TO the North and East
and states that he was told by friends
in that city that great many people
were sorely disappointed after the
start of the race that they had failed
70 see the preparations. They drove
into the country TO watch the balloons
ascend and saw just enough of the
race to make them wish they had seen
more.
An additional attraction at the race
this year will be the aerial demonstra-
ton and display of airplanes at Kelly
Field. All during the day there will be
something of interest for the specta-
tors who tire of watching the progress
of filling the balloons. Airplanes of
all types will be on display throughout
the day.
The main part of the heavier than

flying formations will be shown. Ade-
Quate arrangements will be made for
the entertainment of all visitors.

42,623,572 TONS
Of ORE SHIPPED.
LAKE SUPERIOR DISTRICT SHIP.
MENTS COMPRISE IS PER
CENT OF TOTAL FOR
UNITED STATES.

The total tonnage of iron ore
moved during 1924 from the Lake
Superior district, which furnishes
IS percent of the iron ore shipped
in the United States each year, is
estimated at 100000 tons, ac-
cording to figures compiled by Skill
lings' Mining Review. During the
1924 navigation season 42,623,572
gross tons were shipped over the
Great Lakes and the remainder
shippd by rail from mines to fur
naces.
THE lake movement of ore in
1925" the Review continues, total
ed SO, 036,704 gross tons, and the
movement by rail amounted to l.
1926 tons, making a grand total
for 1923 of 60,7S1, $50 tons. The
decrease of ore moved by lake this
year was 16,413,132 tons.
while the ore season just end
ed was not a big season, neither
was it a poor season in respect to
volume. 1t was more than 1,00O,-
900 tons in excess of the average
lake movement for the five years
1911 to 1915 inclusive, and it was
nearly double the lake movement in
1921.
From statistics available at the
present time, it appears that the
ore shipments this season from Min
nesota totaled 30,554,250 gross
tons as compared with 44,393,677
tons in 1928. The movement from
the Mesaba range was 28,226, 1874
tons as compare with Al ,133,SS1
tons in 1928. The Vermilion range
shipped 933,554 tons this season
compared with 1,164,957 tons dur
ing the navigation period last year.
The Guyana range shipped 1884,
532 tons as against 2,094,829 tons
during 1928 season.
Michigan and Wisconsin iron
mines shipped we'll above 12,OOO,-
900 tons during the navigation
period this year, compared With A.
632,415 tons in the corresponding
period last year.
Despite the fact that the iron
ore shipments were considerably less
during the season just ended than
in 1923, the statistics of individual
mines continues to be impressive in
many instances. Five mines of the
Mesaba produced 11,850,087 gross
tons iron ore for the boats in 1924,
an average of 2,370,017 gross tons
for the FIVE These mines were the
Hull-Rust with 4,653,568 tons, Mis-
sabe Mountain with 3,1S2,800 tons,
Nahoning with LIT, 089 tons, Hill
Annex with 1,189,217 tons, and
Canisteo with 1,107,413 tons.
Give other Mesaba range mines
shipped in excess of 100000 tons
each. They forwarded a total of
3,378,469 tons, an average for the
FIVE of 675,693 tons. The ten
mines taken together shipped a total
of 15,228,55 tons, or an average
of 1,522,855 tons.
''The five Mesaba mines that ship
ped in excess of 100000 tons each
were the Prindle with 956,369 tons,
Holman with 1882 tons, Dun
woody with 638,772 tons, Bennett
with 555,608 tons, and Boeing with
505,348 tons.
at appears that the Mesaba
iron range has now shipped a grand
total of 672,274,392 gross tons out
of grand total for the Lake
Superior iron district of 1,177, ISL, >
466 tons since the birth of the iron
ore industry. These figures will be
changed to the extent of adding the
all-rail movement for the Mesaba
and for the district for 1924, at
the end of the year. The record
year for that range was in 1915,

CAR ITEMS NOT TAX
NOR ARE OODlROADs,
CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD BET.
TER ROADS NOT AS MUCH
OUTLAWS THAN FOR
TIRES AND GAS.

Automobile owners of Ely and
vicinity do not count expenditures
gasoline and tires as taxes and
there is no more reason for regard
ing payments to good roads funds
as taxes-that is the suggestion
from o. E. Johnson, secretary of
the Hennepin County Good Roads
Association.
takes are property assessments
paid toward the support of the gov
eminent, such as the expenses OF
the legislature which makes our
laws" said Mr.. Johnson. "The
money that car and truck owners
contribute toward improving and
maintaining the highways they use
most represents only their shares of
the expense of a big cooperative
enterprise and is not tax in the
true meaning of the word"
The secretary of the good roads
organization drew a sharp line be-
tween taxes and contributions by
motor vehicle owners for better
highways, insisting that Minnesota
automobiles and trucks are going
tax free under the new highway
plan.
eff a man owns an automobile
or truck he is called upon to pay
toward the expenses of the main
highways which serve four out of
five motor vehicles, and every dol
lar of that money is used on those
highways, not even the collection
expense being taken out" explained
Mr.. Johnson. "The man who owns
no motor vehicle pays nothing
toward the trunk highways, regard
less of how much their improve
ment may enhance the value of his
property, build up his community
,or benefit him otherwise. Funds
for state highway purposes, turned
in through the secretary of state in
exchange for license plates, are not
taxes in the common sense of the
word, and should not be called
taxes.
Further, county reimbursement
bonds and proposed state issues
have no bearing on taxes. They

credit to a large group of repre-
sentative citizens, the owners OF
more than 100000 motor vehicles
who are paying all the bills, for the
establishment of needed highway
revolving fund. This fund will
make it possible to more fairly
spread the benefits and costs of
highway improvements over the
years which the betterments will
serve. A parallel is found in the
Minnesota rural credits law, under
which a large number of farmers
are using the states credit to the
extent of some $40,000,000 to i'm
prove their own condition and with
indirect benefit to the entire state.
The farmers are paying the whole
cost, interest and all to their own
advantage, just as the car owners
are doing under highway bond
issues"
Mr.. Johnson said he idea of nom
taxed automobiles struck him when
he was figuring the cost of operat-
ing a newly-purchased car. He ex-
planned that the gasoline consump-
ton was put at one cent mile,
tire wear at a like figure, and an
other cent a mile was added for
taxes when it occurred to him that
money paid for license plates was
a good roads contribution and not
tax, because good roads are just
as necessary to the car owner as
are tires and gasoline.
eve have as much reason to
charge gasoline consumption, tire
wear and other. car bills to taxes,
as we have to so classify the money
we pay toward roads on which to
run our macines," he asserted.
Perhaps that will influence car
owners generally to face the facts
and support the highway depart
ment in its efforts to build for US
the roads we must have to keep our
car expenses down to reasonable
levels"
