State Highway Improve
ments Show Big Earnings
Automobile Owners Held Getting
Car Taxes Back Twice Over In
Good Roads Savings

Each average mile of smooth, gray
eled highway on the Minnesota trunk
system saved its users $5,OO88 on
car running costs this year, and the
average mile of pavement on trunk
routes likewise saved users 1851,
according to highway bulletin this
week.
In other words, says the bulletin.
nearly 5000 miles of graveIed trunk
routes saved the car and truck own
ers $3O,000,000 and about 600 miles
OF pavement added some $5,75O,OOO.
making a grand total of $35, 100000
OF 1925 earnings on better state
highways. So after deducting SD
100000 they contributed in auto and
gas taxes toward road betterments.
the owners have a net profit of near.
ly $22,000,000 this year to credit to
good state roads.
Trunk users in Sank Centre and
vicinity share this saving with others
over the state. all in proportion to
their use of the state highways.
Bulletin estimates are based on
assumptions that the use of paving
averaged $500 vehicles daily and
that of the graveled sections 1000
rigs day, as indicated by the traffic
census. Further, the average mile
costs of running the machines were
the commonly accepted rates of 7
cents a mile on pavement and 81
cents on gravel roads. The bulletin
continues: ~
"The combined year cost of a mile
OF pavement and of running 2,5OO
vehicles over it daily is $23,526, or
1851 less than on a graveled road.
Similarly, the year cost of a mile of
graded and graveled highway and of
operating 1000 vehicles daily over it
is $22,367, or $5,088 less than on a
dirt road.
Probably few car owners or road
users ever compute the earning pow
er of road improvements. But the
great majority will agree that high
way paving reduces both car running
expenses and road maintenance out
lays, and that car wear and tear, gas
oline consumption and tire wear are
appreciably less on a smooth, gravel
highway than on an unimproved dirt
iOdu. SdIIlSu OuG Oil CONSERVATIVE
lines, the individual car savings run
up rapidly and easily aggregate the
grand totals given in the foregoing.
"These large but more conserva-
tive figures; the bulletin goes on,
"may convince the most conservative
car owners that good roads don't
cost-they save,' and further that
highway improvements offer more di-
rect and profitable returns than any
other investments of public funds. %
AS evidence of the conservatism of
the big earnings for 1925 on i'm
provements on trunk highways, ref
erence is made to reports of Mime
sofa county agents crediting road
improvements with a reduction of
more than 8 cents mile in the cost
of operating cars here in recent
years. Applied to $4,000 motor We
hicles now registered in Minnesota,

on an average mileage Of only 5000
miles each, the Scent saving would
total $82,500,000 or nearly six times
the total auto and gas taxes collect
ed this year.
Stearns county road users can OBJ
tain more detailed information re-
garding good roads earnings or any
other facts pertaining to better high
ways by asking specific questions and
addressing the St. Paul offices of the
state department. The policy there,
according to the officials, is that full
and correct information about high
way plans will win added support for
the state highway program.

purposes, 20 10 cents for county
purposes, 71s cents for township
purposes and trifle over 9 1-3 cents
taken by the state. But the small
est net item is that of the state be-
cause it refunds to counties nearly
l 2-3 cents in school aid and as much
more in highway aid and the share in
cludes 2 lilo cents for bonuses paid
local and other soldiers.
State Auditor Ray P. Chase is
giving this division of the state gen.
eral tax dollars in his public adj
dresses to make it plain to all that in
Stearns and other counties, property
owners must begin at home and not
look to the state to effect economies
necessary to reduce their taxes.
The bulk of the taxes, he explains,
are entirely under local control, levies
being determined by school, county,
township and city and village offic-
ials.

Farm Bureau, complaints are often
made by farmers who imagine that
the crop estimates are issued for the
benefit of others than the growers
and that the figures are unreliable
AS matter of information, some
flgures are given herewith which
tend to prove the estimates surpris-
ingly accurate, and of help to the
intelligent producer.
In Minnesota, the federal stats
ticlan's office of the Minnesota co.
operative crop reporting service
checks up the estimates each year
with the actual out-turn of the crop,
and finds that in the years of 1921
1923 ne government estimate of all
wheat production in Minnesota was
100000 bushels less than the actual
out-turn of the crop, or a difference
OF only 1.8 per rent.
The following table shows the &C.
tuai crop produced and the govern
ment's final estimate:

Farm Thievery Is Growing
and Widespread Evil
Protective Movement Started by Farm
Bureau Grows Rapidly In Min
nesota-Other States Copy


That thievery of farm property
has grown to be a widespread evil,
not only in Minnesota but through
out the country, is evidenced by the
rapid growth of the protective asso-
citation idea which was originated by
the Farm Bureau in this state with
the first unit formed in Murray coun-
ty.
Complaints pour in to state Farm
Bureau headquarters of the depreda-
tons of thieves on poultry f1ocks,
grain bins and potato pits. In some
cases hogs have been killed in farm
yards and carried off. The automobile
and good roads have made it easy for
city crooks to make nocturnal raids
into the rural districts, carrying away
valuable produce and making safe
getaway.
the protective groups are looked
to as an effective means of hating
this great loss to farmers and many
have been formed in Minnesota dur
ing the last few weeks. The Min
nesota idea has spread to other states
where it is being copied in the forma-
ton of like organizations. The Min
nesota Farm Bureau has had inquir-
les about the protective plan from
states as far away as New York.

of the United States or a person to
whom the franchise is not reserved by

therefore, when this council, without

the Council has gone outside OF The
