FEDERAL ROAD AID
TIE UP Threatens.
MINNESOTA CANNOT MATCH
GOVERNMENT GIFT FOR
HIGHWAYS WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL WORK
ING CAPITAL

Minnesota will lack nearly ST.
900, 900 of the amount necessary TO
obtain a like amount of 1928 red
eral aid and its auto tax payers
will lose the use of nearly S4,0oo,.
900 of needed improvements, II
trunk highway income Is not IN
creased or provisions made for ad-
vances of working capital tins year.
Figures in highway bulletin
this week indicate that the good
roads program may be crippled as
a result. Federal highway aid to
encourage states to continue good
roads work is conditioned on g re-
ouirement that each dollar of gov
eminent money be matched with a
dollar or more of state money. Min
nesota will be unable to meet the
requirement this year if limited to
funds now in sight.
Annual OUTLAWS on trunk high
ways TO date under the new pro-
gram have averaged 49, 1922 for
maintenance and administration,
S2,092,780 for sinking fund and
like items and $10,841,853 for new
construction or betterments. About
$S,000,000 of the last amount each
year has been made up of county
bond advances.
Assuming that deductions for
junked cars and the 10 per cent de-
probation allowance will practically
offset any increase in registrations,
and that reduction of motor vehicle
taxes will net from a gasoline tax
only an extra 100000 from tour
isis, the bulletin point out that 1925
receipts from those sources will
total about $9,0O0,000. OF tnat
amount, maintenance will take
about $4,000,000 and the sinking
fund and like items about S4,500,-
900. Then, it adds, but 100000
will be available to put against
$2,100,0O0, of federal aid. The re-
suit will be loss of nearly $4,000
600 of highway betterments this
year.
With the gasoline tax added and
proposed bonds authorized, however,
the bulletin shows, maintenance out
lays will be reduced to So, $50, 600
year but the sinking fund total
must be raised to $5,500,000. Yet
there will be left about $4,000, 900
for new improvements and ample
funds to take advantage of the gov
eminent aid.
Further, the bulletin adds, out
lays on the trunk highways will be
less than those on county township
roads which serve only fourth as
many road users.

More important measures pro-

Minnesota posts and units of the
Legion and its Auxiliary were par
ticuIarIy active over the holidays IN
carrying cheer to the disabled ana
20 the needy of their communities,
review of the records OF the or
CARNATIONS dlscloses. In the Twin
cities, Duluth and the rest of the
larger centers OF population there
was even more activity along this
line than heretofore, while In the
smaller cities and villages there Is
no doubt that new high record"
was established.
One of the outstanding cases Of
community service in connection
with holiday activity was at Hib-
bling. In the biggest village, a
christmas fund boxing show was
staged and the proceeds were spent
IN disseminating Christmas cheer.
Members of the post went far from
their own stamping grounds to
bring aid to a veteran and his
wife and two children. The vet
eran, suffering from tuberculosis
gas attack during the world war,
returned home to find his farm ana
other property gone. Just before
Christmas the Hibbing Legionaires
heard of his plight and carried fur
niture, food and other necessities to
him and to his wife, with toys for
the children. The veteran lives in
shack in the outskirts of Calumet,
ftasea county. The Legion has prom
ised to obtain Government aid for
him. Funds from the boxing show
also helped the Hibbing post and
unit distribute toys and candy to
several hundred Their children
whose parents were unable tinan-
cially to "play Santa Claus" this
year; give food and clothing to sc
destitute service men and their
families in Hibbing; entertain $500
children at movie show, and pay
off a post debt of 5000. The Hib-
bing record is only typical of those
In other parts of the state, al
though not in every case was the
post so well supplied with funds
with which to carry on, and as a
consequence the programs were
carried out on a less elaborate
scale.

and the townspeople too, are going
to give a big birthday party for
state commander Edwin Lindell of
the Gopher Legion, at the time of
the Department convention next
August. Every member of the or
ganization in the state will be in
vited. Oscar Smith, past command
er of the Thief River Falls post,
will celebrate his birthday at tie
same time and will be honor guest
with Commander Lindell
Continued service to community,
state and nation must be our key
mote for 1885, says Commander
Edwin l.. Lindell of the American
Legion, outlining state plans for
1925.
"We have made fine beginning
along membership lines, he says.
Lets keep it up. Without a large
and active membership we can ac-
complish little. That's why MEM
bership heads my list of important
activities. With "a large member
ship we can go about our real bust
ness, and first on this list comes
care of disabled and of orphans of
