"A profitable investment, not an

idea which is gaining favor so rap
idly throughout the nation by James
p. Taylor, secretary of the State
Chamber of Commerce of Vermont,
who has been making an extended
study of the gas tax situation in
the United States.
"A saving and not real spend

gasoline tax which has carried it to
the hearts of the automobile fra

edition of Georgia Highways in
which he gives the report of Wis

his gasoline tax and actually save
money" The saving would come in

her home two days after he killed
"Bobby" Franks. She had another
date with him for the Saturday of
the following week, from which he

The foregoing isn't news, because
defense attorneys made it public
when they summoned the 1s-ycar-old
girl to testify at the boys trial. But
she never was placed on the witness
stand. And until now her intimate

Miss Reinhard is the "Patches" of

SMALL FIRE
AT GARAGE
LAST NIGHT
Department Makes First
Trip in 63 Days; Slight
Damage Done

A small blaze, started when a
match lighted to determine the
amount of gasoline in a car being
filled at the Bismarck Motor Com
pany, was the first fire, for which
the fire department was called, in
Bismarck for 63 days.
The fire did a small amount of
damage to the pump at the garage,
but the car and the occupants es-
capped uninjured.
The blaze started up the hose on
the pump, following it to the top
and then down the sides of the
pump, burning gasoline which had
seeped into the concrete base and
which had been spilled around the
pump. Very little damage was
done before the fire department ar
rived and extinguished the blaze
with chemicals.

LAF0LLETTE IS
ON OUTSIDE IN
MIDDLE WEST
Candidate Does Not Get Great
Deal of Attention From
The Voters
COOLIDGE HELD STRONG
Out Ahead of Davis in the
Campaign for Presidency
In Middle West
By VIM. 8. Ncal

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 29.-La-
Toilette has been decorated with a
red mantle in the middle west. He
cannot escape wearing it, in the
opinion of politicians in this sec
ton. And because it has been
placed upon him, it has wrecked any
appeal he may make to the imagi-
nation Of the average voter here.
Well informed people here care
much interested in what LaFollette
may do in the Northwest, but if one
suggests the likelihood of him gar
nering some electoral votes they
raise their eyebrows in surprise. On
the whole, it is agreed, LaFollette
will be on the outside in the pres
idential race in the middle west.
The war record of the Wisconsin
Senator also has initiated against
him. The editor of large publ
cation which is supporting LaFol-
lette said that he believes the people
thought more seriously of his war
record than his extreme political
views.
Coolidge Ahead
Inquiry in many quarters bring
the opinion that Coolidge is out
ahead of Davis in the presidential
sprint at this time. The people,
both Republicans and Democrats,
appear to have confidence in him.
A hot gubernatorial race is to be
staged in Indiana this fall, with
the Republican candidate backed by
the Klan. 1t is agreed that Cool.
idge is much stronger than this cam
didate, who has always been a good
vote getter.
John w. Davis is regarded as a
high class man, but the average
middle westerner appears to have
come to the belief that Coolidge rep
resents sane, orderly system of
government, and it is up to the peo-
pie to stick by such candidate
when he is being assailed by the
threat of LaFollette. There appears
to be no fright over the prospect of
the third party throwing the cleo
tion into the national house. And
the LaFollette movement is regarded
as an interesting sidelight on the
campaign, to be forgotten in a few
years.
Want Safe Government
Perhaps industrial conditions have
had something to do with the ap-
parent trend toward Coolidge. The
middle west. growing each year to
be more industrial than agricultural.
has been fairly prosperous, but busi-
ness conditions have been shaky this
summer, with such unemployment.
The Republican administration is re-
garded as safe anchor to cling to-
The upward trend of farm prices
has brought about a good feeling
in Indiana, with the farmers making
money again, land beginning to
move and optimism returning. This
is true, even though the corn is
backward and frost before Septem-
ber Is might greatly damage the
crop.
The Republican leaders are not
ready to admit that LaFollette will
get all the labor votes. The state
builders union, in convention yes
terday, indorsed LaFollette but after
hard fight on close vote.
Newspapers of the middle west
already have begun to give less at
tention to LaFollette, not because
they desire to stifle publicity but
because he is less interesting since
the third party made its splash into
the political waters.

NO TRACE OF BANDITS
Money Safe Is Not Blown
But Deposit Boxes Are
Rihed

Fargo, Aug. 20. Bandits
raided the Farmers State
Bank of Wolford, Pierce

almost constant fusilage of
bullets on the apartment of
R. P. Hopkins, in the upper

to break open the money
safe.
Just what was the cause of
the attack on the Hopkins
apartment was not stated.
The windows were riddled,
and bullets found their way
through the walls. The rob-
bers fled in an automobile,
and the people of the COM
munity spread the alarm as
soon as they could reach
Rugby, Id miles to the west.
No trace of the robbers has
been found.
