No Trunk Road Bonds;
Safety Of Bank Deposits
No Raise in Auto and Gasoline Taxes,
and Retention of Primary Law are
Important Issues in This Campaign.

On next Tuesday, Nov 2, the voters
of Pine county, as well as the voters
all over the state of Minnesota, will
be called upon to express their choice
for various political candidates. The
power of the ballot is privilege
and also a duty and for that reason
each and every eligible voter should
express. his or her desire. If the
ballot were taken away from us, there.
would be great remonstrance. The
power and privilege of the ballot is
to be appreciated and as privileges
also carry duties, it is therefore our
duty to vote.
The editor of the American, being
a candidate for the office of state
representative from Pine county this
year, naturally appeals to the voters
for their support next Tuesday. There
are several matters of Importance to
come up before the State Legislature
of 1927, and l therefore wish to write
few lines concerning same.
Good roads are an asset to any
community, but there is such thing
as going too fast on the road program.
We hear so much about building roads
for the tourists, thus encouraging
tourists to come to Minnesota.
This is all we'll and good. The tour
list trade counts for something, but,
nevertheless is a small item COM
pared with the local trade over the
state. The first consideration is the
people of Minnesota and its taxpayers.
More stress should be laid on town.
ship and roads to farmers, for that
is of more Importance to the state
as a whole. There is considerable
talk about the long life of paved
roads-that they will stand up for
posterity, etc. If they are built for
posterity, then let posterity build
some of them. Undoubtedly on certain
through roads in the state, the traf-
fic is so great that hard-surfaced
roads are necessary and the most
economical, but it is not we'll to go
too fast on the building of paved
roads,. Let them have more of a
try-out. 1 am certainly opposed to
any bond issues for the building of
trunk roads. Am also opposed to in
creasing the automobile tax and the
gasoline tax. There has been some

HIGHWAY BUILDING
SEASON NEAR CLOSE
Much Paving, Grading, Crawling
Done During Year, State De-
partment Reports.

\ November 1, will mark the end of
the heavy construction season on
trunk highway work, according to
bulletin from the State Highway De-
partment Practically all the pro-
jects which have been under way all
summer are completed. Construction,
however, is never at a standstill and
preliminary work has already been
started on number of projects which
are to be completed next season.
The largest undertaking of the year
was the paving of I'll miles on T.
H. No. 1, between ST. Paul and Du-
,luth. Seven contractors have been
at work on this road and six of them
are completing their work on sched-
ule time. Pavement is now COM
pleted, though not all open, from St.
Paul to Wyoming, from Rock Creek
to Pine City and from Mission Greek
to Duluth. The contractor working
between Pine City and Mission Creek
may be able to finish, with favorable
weather, otherwise this will be done
early in the spring. Contracts were
let this fall for the stretch from Wy
oming to Rock Greek to be completed
by July 1, giving continuous pave
ment from the Twin Cities to the head
of the lakes.
Other pavement laid this year is
as follows: T. H. No. 3, Wabasha to
kellogg, Winona to Minnesota, st. Jo-
seph to Albany; T. H. No. 5, Shake
pee to LIE Sueur county line; T. H.
No. 10, east of Wayzata; T. H. No.
81, Belle Prairie to Brainerd. All of
this pavement is now completed and
opened, except the stretches from Wi
mona to Minnesota and the upper end
of the project between Belle Prairie
and Brainerd, both of which will be
opened the first or second week in
November.
In addition to this, contractors are
completing the last of 324 miles of
grading, 5671 miles of graveling and
Sc bridges. This does not include
any of next years projects on which
work has been started. This work
has been scattered over all sections
of the state, but among the heavier
projects have been 1928 miles of grad
ing on T. H. No. 6, between Moorhead
and Warren, Oil miles of grading be-
tween Bemidji and Crookston, 23.5
miles of grading on T. H. No. II from
International Falls to the st. Louis
county line, 15.9 miles on T. H. No.
5, from Shakopee to Minneapolis 11.6
miles on T. H. No. g., Frequent and
heavy rains during the latter half of
the season have hampered the work,
but most of the contracts are being
completed nearly on time. Traffic
has not been seriously Inconvenience
except on No. II, where no detour was
available and where rains have fire.
quently made the stretch under con-
struction impossible.
In addition to contract jobs, the
maintenance division has graveled 81
miles, reshaped 213 miles and resur-
faced SAT miles. The maintenance
division has also oiled or tarred 224
miles and applied calcium chloride
as binder to 492 miles. The close
of the season finds less than ten per
cent of the trunk highways system
unsurfaced.

BUREAU OF BUDGET
STREET PLANS
Attitude Favorable Toward
More Money for Work,
City Officials Report.

The comprehensive program OF
street improvement proposed by the
highway department for the next
fiscal year was considered in detait
by the bureau of the budget yester-
day at the third of a series of hear
ings on the Districts estimates for
1927-192S.
Virtually the entire session was
devoted to the estimates of the high
way department, which, If approved
in toto with the supplemental items
requested. will provide an unprece-
dented sum of S4.187,500 for the re-
pair and surfacing of Washington
streets. highways and bridges--al-
most $1,000.000 more than appropri-
ated for the current fiscal year. The
appropriation for the highway de-
partment this year. including de-
f1ciency of $642,000, amounted to
$360S,500.
The Commissioners and officials of
the highway department. who attend
ed the hearing, indicated that they
were highly satisfied with the attitude
shown by the budget bureau with
respect to next years highway pro-
gram, and believe that whatever
pruning is done will. not be severe.
The budget officials, it was said, ap-
pear TO be fully cogniZant of the con-
dition of Washington's streets and
are inclined to favor increased ap-
preparations for their improvement
so that some progress may be made
toward catching up with the wartime
arrears.
One of the most important items
in the highway departments budget
for next year is an appropriation re-
quest for the resurfacing of High
way Bridge.
Another is for the resurfacing Of
the Klingle Road Bridge. The former
item was eliminated from the esti-
mates last year. but a vigorous fight
will be resumed by the Budget Bureau
this year to have Congress approve 1t
in view Of the condition of the bridge.
Hearings on the District estimates
will be resmueh by the Budget Bureau
tomorrow. and according to present
indications. probably will continue
throughout the week. The bureau has
not yet reached the budgets of the
board of education and the public
library. These are expected to be
considered early in the week. An en-
tire day likely will be devoted to the
school estimates, which call for ap-
preparations amounting to about one
third of the total budget of $38, SOC, 900.
Like San Francisco. the city of
Melbourne, Australia, owes its early
development to a gold strike.
