Better Roads Helps the

Increase in Truck Hauling of Live
stock to South St. Paul Shown
in Stockyards Figures :

Three hundred and seventeen truck
loads of livestock rolling into the
South st. Paul market on a single
day recently set new peak in stock
yards history and brought additional
figures indicating that Minnesota's
better highways are fast becoming
more and more the farmers rail-
roads,"
During last year, 5,881 head of
livestock in 47,337 motor trucks ar
rived over the highways, mainly the
trunk routes, at the South st. Paul
market, according to official figures
from the Union Stockyards company.
The average haul was placed between
60 and 70 miles, the report added,
but farmers living as far as 200
miles away found it to their profit
and advantage to ship by truck on
the better roads. -

Minnesota Auto Tags On
Sale At Lowest Figures
Taxes Reduced by Legislature Drop
Again with Manufacturer Price
Cuts-Road Prospects Hit

Automobile and truck owners in
Sank Centre and vicinity are finding
that less money will buy new 1926
registration plates for their cars
and correspondingly less road inn
provements needed to keep down the
cost of running the machines all
through the year.
Auto tags are on sale at banks and
garages here, as all over the state,
according to word from Mike Holm,
secretary of state. Applications will
be received locally at the banks and
several of the garages.
Realizing that the legislature is
not in session and there will be no
escape from penalties for delays,
hundreds are obtaining their new
plates now. A number doubtless will
wait until the eleventh hour risking
the penalties, it is said, but they will
be few this year.
Cuts ranging from So to SIS and
more leave the state taxes on motor
vehicles lower than those on any 9TH
er taxable wealth, including pianos
and other things which are not wear
ing out roads, requiring extra police
and other public expenditures. Most
sweeping changes by the legislature
reduced the auto manimuns to SO
from $12 and to $3.50 from SIS
and general rates to "a per cent
from IT'S per cent of factory list
prices. Manufacturers reductions in
list prices further reduced the auto
taxes and at the same time greatly
reduced Minnesota's good roads
funds. .
Based on 1923 touring car models,
some common \ reductions follow
Fords, cut So to $40; Dodges, cut
$4.99 to $14.70; Bucks, 7-pass. s.
cyl. cut STAG to $24.11; Packards,
7-pass. 6-cyl. cut $14.48 to $46.79;
Cadillacs, 7-pass. 8-cyl. cut $15 to
$48.47, and Pierce-Arrows, 7-pass.
6-cyl. cut $14.70 to $100.80. Some
officials and good roads advocates ex-
press fear that the tax reductions
will not be offset by 1926 increases in
gas tax receipts and new car taxes
and that needed highway work will
be curtailed as result. ia

Led by a fashy forward, the Sauk:
Centre Legion team defeated the
Wadena Horsemen Pro five 38 to 81,
revenging several defeats handed our
team by visiting teams during the
past two weeks. Blaha, playing for
the locals, possessed more speed than
the rooters had seen for many months
and was the outstanding player on
the floor. His accurate passing and
shooting, his persistent fighting spirit,
were features of the contest.
The first quarter was a walk-a-way
session for the home team. The Wa
dena players were cold, having made
the long trip here by car, and it
took considerable time for the Horse
men to warm up. The Main Street
quint played their best brand of bas-
ket ball this first period. It ended II
to 8, and the score is a good criterion
of the two teams. The half finished
with Sank Centre leading, % to in
Coach Morgan than experimental
using every possible combination of
players he could use, and the result
was almost disastrous. The Horse
men got under way the last quarter
and were looping them in from all
angles. Only two points were regis
tered by the Legion team during the
last period. IL
1t was fast contest and one well
worth witnessing. The Sank Centre
quint showed considerable improve
ment over former starts and are an
parently in good shape for the Nor
ris team which plays here next.

was never in doubt.

those attending were thoroughly sat-
listed with the contest. Gasser, ALL

player on the floor that night and his
work gave the local defense men
