Secretary Of the Interior Work
is another Cabinet officer under
fire. Western senators, harken-
ing to the voices of certain
groups of constituents. are con-
demning the reclamation policy
Of the administration. The Pres
ident, however. is backing Doc
tor Work and placing the blame
on Congress because they neg
lected to provide remedial leg
islation.
The Secretary of Agriculture
is also against the wall for crit
icism by congressman because of
the departments policy on graz
ing permits in national forests.
The organized stockmen of the
west are demanding certain con-
cessions which will require the
attention of Congress this win

On the whole Washington is
comparatively quiet. Political
leaders are awaiting with interest
the speech of the President be-
fore the veterans in the middle
west next month, as they expect
him TO define administrative pol
icies, which are now uncertain.
The feeling exists here that the
President will stick to his knit
ting" and keep his recommended
tions for legislation for the Off
cial message to Congress in De-
cember.

ed workers are showing that liv-
ing costs have advanced, while
the mine owners argue to the
contrary. The question will prob
ably be carried into Congress
within a few weeks. so that it is
of considerable interest here.

ed with the 1924 full year total
of 509.S01. says an official an
nouncement from the state CAPT.

biles and trucks are using the
state highways on the average
day. tourist cars added.
Minnesota people have put
1886. 100000 in the cars listed. il
an average outlay of 500 apiece
is correct and that is held a gem
morally accepted figure. AT a
low average of 5000 miles, the
cars collectively will travel, g.
$50. 100000 miles this year. And
at a low rate Of seven and one
half cents q mile. the cars and
their running expenses for the
year will aggregate about $780,
100000. II the better highways
have reduced the car running
cost by 3 cents a mile. the good
roads savings will approximate
$50. SOC. 900 for the year. The
state is collecting from the car
owners in auto and gas taxes for
highways less than one-fifth Of
that amount or $14.000.000.

Foregoing estimates on motor
vehicle expenditures, mileages
and taxes, carried out along con-
