great saving in time.
To save few dollars on license

hunnred dollars or more a year.

man to gst rich by such a system
of saving!
So let us have the Babcock plan

spend for good roads saves at least
five dollars and hence every dolla

five dollars wasted. Which is wiser?

GOOD ROADS sERMoNETTE.

St. Augusta.)
We hear and read so much about
auto license and gasoline tax that
too would like to say few words.
ann in favor of leaving the auto
license as it is and Of adding a two
cent tax on gasoline for good roads,
because I want good roads now and
not only century after I am dead.
Every owner of car or even a
fiivver wants good roads but some
want them for nothing, which is un-
reasonable. Everything that is worth
having is worth a reasonable price.
That is especially true of good
roads. It has always been my con-
tention that every dollar we spend
for road improvement saves US at
least five dollars. This is especial
ly true of roads in the farm dis
tricts. But it is very often the
farmer who is slow to favor road
Improvement at his expense. On a
good road a farmer can haul twice
the load he can on a poor road,
hence he saves half the time and
time is money.
Let us get down to actual figures
what the car owner saves on paved
highways. Let us suppose a man
drives his car $4,000 miles a year.

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS THIS SUMMER.

Forty-nine hundred youths, from
schools, farms, and factories scat.
tered throughout the states of Ark.
ansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota
and South Dakota, will be enrolled
this summer for the Citizens Mil.
itary Training Camps in the Seventh
Corps Area, Major General George
b. Duncan announced at the. Army
Building, Omaha, Nebraska. This
figure represents the largest number
for civilian training assigned to any
corps area.
Camps will open August / and
continue in operation throughout
August. Every student is to re a
volunteer and must pass the mental
and physical tests. adopted by the
War Department. Students in Basic
courses viii range from seventeen to
twenty-four years.
As result of experience gained
in conducting boys camps during
the past four years in all parts of
the country, the War Department
plans numerous improvements de-
signed to-, make the training and
recreation programs more attractive
to the young men at the 1925
camps.
Admittance, however, will be UNI
der the same conditions as during
other years, General Duncan said.
Food, uniforms, railroad fare to
camp and return, athletic equip
ment, and all camp facilities, be-
sides Medical and Dental treatment
while in camp are furnished by the
Government without expense to the
student.
1t is planned to give Individual
attention to the physical training of
each student to correct unfaversble
tendencies in the growing youth.
Data complied from records of
camps of previous years is now be-
ing studied by the. War Department
with this end in view.
The object of these camps, Cen
eral Duncan declared, is to bring to-
gether young men of high type
from all sections of the country on
a common basis OF equality and
under the most favorable conditions
of outdoor life;4 to. stimulate and
promote citizenship, patriotism, and
Americanism; and through expert
physical direction, athletic coaching,
and military training to benefit the
young men individually.

LEAGUE HOLDS FINE
MEETING ON FEB. rs

The regular monthly meeting of
the Law Enforcement League was
held Wednesday, Feb. 9th at the
Community Center. Mesdames Dun
can and Sarkipato gave the Club a
very pleasing duet on their violins.
The meeting was very informal and
somewhat in the nature of round
table discussion, on the work in
which the League is interested and
the best methods by which we may
be of service in the community.
The members present all felt the
club has very bright outlook as it
starts on the second year of ex-
istence and are most hopeful of Wis
ible results for its endeavors in the
coming months. Coffee and dough-
nuts were served.-X. Y. 2.

Some years ago the writer trav-
ele,I many miles over the turnpike
roads in Kentucky and Tennessee.
The charge was from three to FIVE
cents a mile, depending whether
one horse or span were used.
These turnpike roads were built by
private capital, and the toll was
their revenue. Every Ave miles
there was gate across the road
and the traveller had to pay either
fifteen or twenty-five cents. At
that he was glad to pay, because
other roads during the winter
months were impossible for a
horse drawn vehicle, and quite diff
ficult to navigate even on horse
back.
Let the auto owner figure his
license fees as toll for the using of
the roads. On the kentucky scale
the fare would have been at least
five cents a mile for the fiivver,
and higher for the high powered
car.
The cheaper cars pay dollar a
month. The average distance rrav-
eled is 5000 At five cents a mile
this would be $50. The heavier
cars would pay a hundred or more.
And this only small part of the
advantage of Minnesota highways
over Kentucky in the toll road days.
In Minnesota every road is a pretty
good highway. In Kentucky for at
least six months in the year only
the toll roads could be used, and
they were a very small part of the
highway system.
For his dollar month the cwn-
err of the low priced ear gets the
benefit of over a hundred million
dollars of road improvements.
Is there any justification in re-
ducing this auto toll, which is less
than if the motor vehicles were tax
ed as personal property?
A tax of two cents a gallon
would amount to very little to the
average auto owner. The lighter
cars make 20 miles on gallon, and
the tax would be just one tenth of
a cent a mile, and not over a fifth
of cent for the heaviest cars.
In the early days of the auto
mobile experts said the cost of an
automobile per mile, including gas,
oil, wear on tires, depreciation and
the expense of repairs made nee
essary by poor roads, was ten cents
a mile. The cost today is on a con-
sentative basis about 7 cents a nile.
The good roads have reduced the
operating and maintenance cost
three cents a mile. For 5000
miles this is $3.50. To get this. saw
ing, plus the comfort, the saving in
time and profanity, the owner OF
the automobile pays an average OF
SIS year in license, and from SIC
to $50 in gasoline tax--if gasoline
is thus taxed, for $4,000 miles
Taking the highest average it would
be only $35-for which Mr.. Auto
Owner gets direct returns in less
expense of $3.50.
Does anyone get bigger returns
on a $50 investment?
II gasoline is taxed, and the leg
islature has this mandate from the
people, owners of motor vehicles
will get an additional benefit Of
road Improvement to the tidy sum
Of $4,000, 200.
just why is there so much OBJ
position to the good road program?

YOUR INCOME TAX.

A debt discovered to be worthless
and charged off the books of the
taxpayer for the year 1924 may be
deducted from the gross income in
computing net income for that
year. The return must show evil
dence of the manner in which the
worthlessness Of the debt was dis
covered and that ordinary and legal
means for its collection have been
or would be unavailing.
Bad debts may be deducted in
whole or in part. When deducted,
the taxpayer must be able to show
with a reasonable degree of certain.
ty the amount uncollectible. Partial
deductions are, allowed with respect
to specific debts only.
A valid debt proved to be worth
less may not always be proper de
duction.- For example, unpaid
amounts representing wages, rent
ais, or similar items are not allow
ed as deductions unless included as
gross income in the creditors re
turn for the year in which the de-
duction is sought or in previous
year. The fact that expected in
come was not received does not re-
duce the amount of taxable income
of the creditor.
Unpaid loans made to needy rel
atives or friends with little or no
expectation that they would be re-
paid are not deductible, but are re-
garded as gifts.
Where by reason of illness or alb
sence from home additional time
for filing an income tax return is
required, the taxpayer should adj
dress to the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, Washington, D. c.,
a request for an extension. Col
lectors of internal revenue are not,
as under proceeding acts, permitted
to grant such extensions. The re-
quest must be made before the re-
turn is due-on or before March Is,
1925, if made on the calendar year
basis-and must contain a full re-
cital for the causes of the delay.
An extension of time for filing
the return does not extend the
time of payment of the tax or any
installnent thereof unless so speci-
fed in the extension. As q condi-
ton of granting an extension, the
commissioner may require the sub
mission of tentative return and
estimate of the amount of the tax,
and the payment of a least one
fourth Of the estimated amount.
Under the revenue act of 1924,
thousands of persons are required
to file returns of income although
the incomes are not taxable. The
act provides that returns shall be
filed by every single person whose
net income for 1924 was $1,000 or
more or whose gross income was
$4,000 or more, and by married
couples living together, whose ag-
gregate net income was $4,000 or
more, or whose aggregate gross in
come was $4,000 or more. The ex-
emptions are $1,000 for single per
sons and $4,000 for married per.
sons living together, plus $40C
credit for each dependent. A per.
SON may have a gross income OF
$4,000 and, by reason of the de-
auctions for business expense, bad
debts, losses, ETC., a net income OF
less than $1,000. A single person
may have an exemption of $1,000
as the head of family. Neverthe,
less, returns are required in both in
stances.
Heavy penalties are provided By
the act for failure to file a return
and pay at least one-fourth Of the
amount of tax due within the time
prescribed, on or before March Is
1925.

Now that Northeastern Minnesota
is to be known as the Arrowhead
Country it would be very fitting,
and possibly profitable from an ad-
vertising standpoint, to foster the
sport of archery. This is an ancient
sport which just now is coming back
strong and bids fair to become very
popular. 1t is claimed that archery
has as much technique as golf and
calls for even more form. Archery
is one of the finest of out of door
sports and the craft of bowyer,

listed among the ancient and hon
orable. If archery were to be
adopted as a popular sport in the

The total disregard for private
and public property in the woods
and on the lake banks in this north
country is becoming altogether too
prevalent and is working to the
detriment of the summer home pro-
position. A few more arrests and
convictions will have a lettering
effect. Cases have been known
where cottages were entered, all the
supplies on hand either eaten or de-
stroyed; the table and chairs broken
up for wood; bedding, dishes, cut
iery and even the cook stove carried
away; windows smashed and the
property generally ruined. This
must be stopped and a few heavy
jail sentences melted out to vandals
of this kind may stop it. There is
no feeling against anyone who uses
a summer home for a place of shell
ter and the contents thereof are
given with a free hand. However.
when anyone takes a car or canoe
direct to a cabin for the purpose
of footing the same, something
should be done more than slap
on the wrist. Leavensworth or

Road and bridge taxes climbed
steadily until 1921. Then adoption
Of the Babcock plan shifted to the
state the improvement and mainten-
ance of the main highways, which
had been taking 80 per cent of the
county road and bridge funds, and
'ocal road taxes began to decrease.
The new road program left the
counties with five times as much un-
Ter the same tax levies to spend on
The other local roads. There is more
rapid improvement of the counties
roads as well as reductions in taxes.
As the local roads are more perman-
emily built, according to officials,
there will be more cuts in the local
road taxes.
With over 5000, 900 raised for
local roads last year, the state col
lected $10.600,OOO of auto taxes
and federal aid for the trunk high
ways, which carry four-fifths of the
traffic, according to u. S. govern
ment figures. The local road funds
his year will be reduced nearly
S2,000,000, as stated. Under the
most liberal plan pending in the
legislature, it is reported, trunk
highway expenditures this year and
next will be reduced $4,000, 900.
Further, reports are that without
favorable legislation the work on
trunk routes next year will be linn
ted to routine maintenance or up
keep only.

Surprising certainly was the an

members of Congress had increased
their own pay from $500 to s1O,-
900 a year and cabinet members
from $4,000 to $4,000. No not
ice of debate was given and no
warning of the intended move was
broadcasted. We wonder what Presl-

move in the face of his contention
of reduction in expenditures. May
be, these officials had it coming to
them but considering conditions and
high taxes, it looks like an ill-timed
move.
