The above figures, taken from a
bulletin received by the Herald from
the Minnesota Highway department,
includes only the items on VI ich
there are fairly accurate statistics
upon which to base estimates. 1t
does not include such items as build
ing and maintaining pr yate garages,
storage in public garag IS and parking
lots, fines for traffic violations, wages
of rus and truck drivers and private
chauifeurs, paint and supplies bought
ny owners who do their own tinker
ing, damage caused by accidents,
partly covered by item on insur-
ancc,; and a variety Of incidentals.
These items probably BRING the to
tai to $300,000,000.
| The estimate on new cars is based
upon the Secretary of States regis
tration figures, which total 628,000
~ to Nov. 20, as against 574,500 in
1925. About 10000 cars have been
| iunked or removed from the state,
50 there are 1850 new registra-
lions. Some of these are used cars
brought in from other states, but pre-
baby 81 per cent are new. The av-
erage L1lce, delivered, is about $3.50.
The estimate on accessorl IS and Il
rancing allows for spare tires, bump
:, interest, brokerage charge and
tie like.
The gasoline cost estir,at, is bas-
ed IN he State Oil inspectors report
IN = = ments into the sta7.. %I.l ~
cents as the average retail price. Tie
estimates On upkeep are tak.1 rom
satisfies collected by ne National
Au, ,mohile Chamber of Commerce,
wi.;cI. give the average ex,en. 'iturs
per car in 1925 at $34 for tires, $33
for repair parts, $45 for service la
Dor and S13 for insurance. In max
ing the 1926 estimate, the tire bill
is figured at $50, making the total
per car $121 for these items. The
tire bill alone was $84 in 1919, but
good roads, lower prices and better
tires have combined to reduce this
item. The low estimate on insurance
allows for the fact that many owners
are uninsured. :.
"These estimates show that the Ii
cense and gas taxes total less than
5 per cent of the annual motoring
bill, and the total road bill, including
state aid, county and town levies is
about 10 per cent of the money pent
for motor transport" c. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways states.
"Whether a town or a county Is
spending too much or too little for
the roads which carry the local traf-
fic, is matter for each community to
decide, but no one can plead that the
license or gas tax is hardship. These
taxes are a very small part of the
cost of operating a car, and the IN
dividual who wishes can cut his mo-
toring bill by driving less or using a
smaller car. Collectively motorists
can reduce their annual bill by put
ting more money into better roads.
1t will come back fourfold in reduced
repair, gasoline and tire COSTS"

ment in his annual dairy industry re-
port. Income from butter alone last
year, he reports was about $110,000,-

production in Minnesota increased
from 139, 10000 pounds to 265, 000,-

"No other state has such record"
Mr.. Holmberg says in the report,
"and Minnesota continues as the
champion butter producing state in

The commissioner estimates that
the 10000 farmers selling milk and
cream to the creameries and" cheese
factories received an average of
$1,000 for their dairy products for
the year.
"The dairy industry" the report
states, sis pre-eminently the great

that substantial cash monthly pay

them to meet their current obliga-

"This year only a small amount of
butter and other dairy products have
been imported. The market prices
have been fairly uniform and quite
satisfactory.

New Trial Granted to
One of Victims
tspecIaI to The Daily worker)


BENTON, ILL.,, May Z. - Arguing a
motion for a new trial for the eight
miners convicted in the Zeigler frame
up, l. e. Ferguson, attorney for Interna-
tional Labor Defense succeeded in OBJ
tanning a new trial for one Of the de-
PENDANTS, Martin Simich, who, Judge
Kern was satisfied, was not present
during the time the shooting and fight
ing took place in the miners hall at
Zeigler.
The motion for a new trial was
denied the other men, altho It was
shown that the testimony on which
seven of the fifteen originally placed
on trial were released by the jury, was
the same under which the eight others
had been convicted.
Labor Takers Present.
Del Cobb and Lon Fox, officers OF
the sub-district of the United Mine
Workers, were present during the hear
ing for q new trial altho there was no
ground for their presence. The eight
witnesses for the defense outlined the
happenings at the Zeigler miners hall,
and showed that the entire testimony
against Frank Corbishley, for example,
was based on Cobbs allegation that he
had seen the print of a gun hidden
under the shirt of Frank on the night
OF the fight. The other story CON
cocted by the tools Of the frame.up
that one of the defendants had shout
ed to the miners: Don't LET Their
out, Kill them!" referring to Cobb am
Fox, was also riddled by the arg,
ments of the defense. During the hear
ing, the three witnesses for the prose
cution were thoroly discredited b,
their contradictory testimony.

Four determined citizens met around

Four determined citizens met around
table in the Roma restaurant, on
Twelfth street, last night. They sat
with muscles tense, eyes alert. Their
faces were drawn and pale. The
casual hystander sensed electrified at
mosphere at once and knew that a
crisis of some sort was impending and
liable to arrive at any moment.
The citizens were Salvatore Scalco.
an Italian wholesale fruit dealer and
publicity expert, who detests not hav-
ing his name in the papers: Nick
SCiuli. an Italian patriot and amateur
iietitian: Max Miller, well known
sportsman. and Aldo Pratt, great
great grandson of that famous Pratt
who many years ago revOlutionized
macaroni eating by demanding: why
have it so blg?" and gave to the world
spaghetti.
These men. all Americans, but treas
uring in their sturdy breasts fond
memories of old Italy, met to decide
the tremendously important problem
of which could eat the most spa
ghetti. There was more than a mere
personal rivalry among them. The
honor of Italy and of Washington
was at stake. California Il few days
lgo proclaimed to the world that one
Of her Italian sons ate 1873 mileS-or
l,794 pounds-of spaghetti at one sit
ting.
Since publication Of the dispatch the

subject has been the chief topic Of
conversation among spaghetti eaters
in Washington. The Californian was
proclaimed liar, his story a base and
treacherouS canard. 1t was Scalco
who dema nded, rather heatedly:
Have we no spaghetti eaters in
Washington who will show the man
up? Where is your civic pride? What
manner of men are we that we should
let a renegade Italian boast falsely bf
feat impossible and let him get
away with it?'
Scalco's causutic utterance set
tongues wagering. The District of
Columbia Italian American Walking,
Social and Spaghetti Club took the
thing up. It's members. a group of
disorganizerd spaghettists, offered a
cup to reward the Washingtonian
who would eat the most spaghetti
at one sitting and show the Califor-
nian up.
Scalco challenged. Sciulli, hearing
