CONTINUED ROAD AID
BACKED BY COOLIDGE.

Continuance of federal highway
id,which in the past has helped to
pay for road improvements in every
county in Minnesota, is favored by
President Coolidge, according to re-
cent news dispatches from Washing
ton. The president, it was stated,
will support new highway aid APP
preparations, provided they are rea-
sonable and to be expended on
through roads. The qualifications
will not affect Minnesota inasmuch
as every dollar apportioned can be
used to advantage for needed i'm
provements on any designated
routes, and that in turn will release
state funds for use on other better
ments, according to a statement
from the state highway department.
President Coolidge takes the posi-
ton that the government has COM
mitted itself to the aid policy in
road building and that it must be
continued in a reasonable way.
Congress must pass new authorize
ton at the coming session if there
is to be no break.
Building programs have been
planned by Minnesota and other
states with the understanding that
the federal government will help, it
was explained, and Mr.. Coolidge ex-
poets the government to Keep faith.

Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover has aligned himself with
Mayor Leach of Minneapolis and all
the supporters of a complete inlano
waterway system.
A survey of the great problems
of progress which lie before the
nation would place waterway de-
velopment in the forefront, he told
an audience of Kansas City business
men and women.
Speeding up the development of
our water in it's aid to the land
power, irrigation and, above, all,
test oar vision and our statesman
ship"
Sec. Hoover visualizes the Missis-
sippi system as 5000 miles of con-
nected waterways, main trunk line
running north and south through
the Mississippi valley, the Ohio from
Cairo to Pittsburgh, the Missouri
from st. Louis to the far west, and
the great lakes to the sea, via the
Chicago canal.
Europe, particularly Germany,
years ago set the pace in proper
utilization of waterways. America
has Jagged. Slowly but surely the
various lines of the great system
MIR. Hoover visualizes are now be-
ing connected.
But wisdom is necessary. We
should authorize a development pro-
gram on all of these lateral water
ways to insure their completion,
just as it has done on the Ohio
which finally is becoming a useful
competitor of the trunk line rail
roads.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-10-30

stockholders of these roads are wide
ly scattered.
Take the banks. On May Is last
the deposits in the national banks
of New York City totaled two and
quarter billion dollars. But 38
per cent of this enormous total was
made up of deposits by banks out
side of that great financial center.
There are nearly $4,000 corpora
tions making income reports to
Washington from New York. Many
of the largest ones do business and
have stockholders all over the Coun-
try. Thus the whole Country is
helping New York pay its taxes,
and the whole Country is fairly en-
titled to share in their uses.
Federal aid is habit that can
easily be carried too far, as Presi-
dent Coolidge pointed out in his
budget message. But the benefcent
work of covering the Country with
a net work of good roads is one in
which the Government ought GER
tainly to join the States, for its in
terest in them is almost as great as
theirs, whether. judged from an
economic or a military standpoint.
Moreover, Government OUTLAWS
for roads represent only fraction
of Federal tax intake on auto
mobiles. The day has not yet come
when the Government should with
draw or reduce it's road aid to the
States.

THE FIGHT ON FEDERAL ROAD
AID.
Minneapolis Journal.

There will be a determined effort
IN the approaching session of Con-
gress, it appears, to abolish or great
iy reduce Federal aid to the States
for road building. While the drive
will be made ostensibly in the sacred
name of economy shibboleth of
admitted power in these multitax
days-its real impetus will come
from the feeling of the East that it
is building the Vests roads.
They are fond of pointing out in
New York that their State alone
pays a full quarter of the internal
revenues of the Nation. They de-
dtice that the Empire State pays rs
Of the millions furnished annually
for aiding the other States to build
roads, and that this is rank injustice.
In the first place, so far as Min
nesota Is concerned, she pays more
into Uncle Sans Golfers than she
gets out of them. Last year Min
nesota paid 81 millions and more in
Federal taxes, and received in re-
turn for all Federal purposes a bare
those IA millions were devoted to
road aid.
But Minnesota pays heavy taxes
that are not credited to her on the
books. She helped Michigan, for
example, to pay her heavy automo-
bile taxes, by buying automobiles
and parts from Michigan. She
helped New York in numerous ways
70 pay the heavy taxes credited to
that State. Take the Steel Corpora
tion, for example. In 1923 it paid
An income tax of 16 million dollars
N New. York. But the tax was
really paid by 153,250 stockholders
scattered all over the country, 4,412
of them haiiing from Minnesota.
Take the railroads. The South
ern Pacific, which comes no nearer
New York than New Orleans, paid
FIVE millions in taxes in New York.
The Union Pacific, which comes no
nearer than Omaha paid, four and
half millions in New York. Ths

Commissioner of Police Enright
of New York City has suggested a
code that will have a tenoency to
reduce crime in the country. He
suggests five rules to follow. They
are:
Abolish the "gun" through ma
tional legislation so that none bu,
those rightfully entitled to carry
one-sucn as law enforcement otn-
cials-could 90 so.
Abolish the parole system, the in
determinate sentence and the sus-
pended sentence entirely, except III
rare cases where they might provt
necessary in giving justice.
Increase sentences for major
erimes-such as robbery with gun
Ito double the. present sentence,
and place judges on the bench who
will inf1ict maximum instead OF
minimem punishment.
Reyolutionize the bail system SO
that bail would be forfeited if a
person is found guilty of an addi-
tional crime while on bail for a
previous one.
Quit coddling the criminal.
