Governor Christensen might have
built up bureau or two and a
commission for good measure to
take care of collecting the gasoline
tax, but he did nothing of the kind.
Since the law became operative, a
year ago the first of this month.
the state has collected something
approaching four and one half mil
lion dollars, and, under the govern
or's economy plan, has done it at
the expense of only two hundred
and seventy dollars month, that
being the additional expense for
clerk hire in the Office of the state
oil Inspector. Governor Christian
son might have strengthened his
political fences with this splendid
opening, but he promised to exert
himself for rigid economy in state
government and he is carrying out
the plan in every department. There
may be some reason for putting an
other man in his place, but it sure
ly doesn't show on the surface

by venal considerations. / know
that newspaper workers generally
have a far higher code than have
workers in most lines of business,
and their code is for most of them
a religion, a passion.
'sThere isn't day when any big
newspaper doesn't publish news
which rich and powerful interests
would rather have unpublished, and
would pay good money to have un-
published or CLOSED over. But the
newspaper knows hundreds of thou
sands of readers look to it for daily
information on which to base their
judgments, and the men eager TO
get that information never think of
the cost. They get all they can,
digging deep for the inside facts.
In the speed with which they have
to work they are bound to maze
some mistakes"

"HIS is the tale of Hassan of old Cairo merchant
in the great Suk, they called their bazaar.
One night strolng wizard overheard him humble,
"Alah what city is this become! The Bedwani
have changed their route and longer traffic here
The ivory brngers and the met sellers now barter in
Bagdad Selim of Fee steals good bread from honest
mems mouths with strange wares and cheap prices.
'The crop is poor and dhows from the blue Nile
carry trade to the thevng markets of Alexandria
could have my wish"
At which point, the wizard interrupted Choose what
you please, Hassan, and it is granted-and doubly
granted to Abdulah your hated rival"
AThen make me blind in one eye" said Hassan.
Which sentiment chiefly explains why the most strik
ing features of Egypt the monuments OF an Illus
trious past.
Prosperity abandons neighborhoods where prejudice
is held dearer than progress. Expansions slogan is

Welcome the pace-maker. Herds deteriorate unless
re-blooded with fresh strans-towns, too
Breeders develop the jumper by setting higher
hurdles Dissatisfaction with past performance is the
eternal inspiration for better records, bigger cities
shrewder practice, and constant dividends
Amy tomorrow that can't thrash yesterday is loafng
the job
Transatlantic telephony; the Stars and Stripes at
the North Pole the miracle of the Imperial Valley and

Some opposition has developed to
the paving project on First Avenue
East between Chapman and Harvey
Street. Those opposed make the
claim that the paving of this avenue
was not requested and that the
property owners abutting were not
consulted,
The general opinion however
seems to favor this pavement for
several very valid reasons. 1t is
contended that the paving of this
block IS very necessary to accommo-
date the Community Center; that
the paving at this time can be done
at tar less cost than if attempted
later; that the larger part of the
expense will fall ON the City in
general and the "a lots will JOIN In
paying tor the Improvement dis
UrlDutIng the cost in small portions
among the property holders who
nave the choice Of spreading the
cost over five year period.
Opponents contend that as long
as Central Avenue is not paved be-
tween the streets named, why pave
First Avenue? The answer is obvi-
Gus. First Avenue should be paved
because the Community Center is
located thereon. The Center is the
common meeting ground of all in
situations in the city regardless of
political, racial or sectarian afflia-
tons. The Center is also the gath
ering spot for information and the
pubic rest room for tourists and
travellers to our fair city. This
paved stem leading from two paved
streets to the Cenrer would further
popularize the place with the public
having occasion to avail itself of the
excellent facilities provided at the
Center-all free of charge. Were
the building located at any other
point leading off the paved thorough
fares, the same would apply and the
pavement should be extended there
to. There would not be .ne slight
est objection to extending paving to
benefit the City Hall or any other
public building. Why then discrim-
mate against the Community Center
which is of far more benefit to the
general public than is the City Hall.
Outside of paving on Central Ave-
nue. to get out of the mud. the
editor has never been overly en-
Unused over tearing up the best
streets in the country for paving and
the attendant expenses. However
after seeing the excellence of Cen
trail Avenue and Sheridan Street
during the few days of the spring
~reak-up, we say it is fine. Those
who are footing the bills along the
streets to be paved and are paved,
are satisfied and as long as we have
launched on the program, we join in
the popular demand and say, let's
go as P. D. @. as possible.

As predicted in the Miner several
weeks ago, Larry Ho" was elected
Mayor of st. Paul by a rousing
majority notwithstanding the fact
that only half a vote was cast, the
voter probably feeling that Larry
had cinch and he wished to save
the election judges time in tabulat-
ing the assured majority. Here's
no Larry Ho" One of our ex-
changes remarks that Larry is good
material for Governor and could be
elected after Christianson quits
running. The country and city
newspaper boys are unanimous in
their congratulations and we'll
wishes for the new Mayor.

The Democrats are having a hard
time to find man who will decide
to become a candidate for governor
Fred Schilpin of st. Cloud is the
latest to turn down the alluring of
fers of the party. As Governor
Christensen has been a governor
for both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties-and all the other
parties, the prospects are that he
will be reelected hands down.
Hence the reluctancy on the part
of the faithful to go up against the
Duzz-saw with no better issue than
I'VE want the Office" If anyone
wants to commit political hari-kari
they want to run for office in Min
nesota on any one of the tickets
outside of the Republican.

George Vivian has filed for re-
election as county treasurer. This
fact is hailed with delight by his
host of friends in the county and
we will go so far as to predict his
reelection. His supporters are le-
gion by reason of his strict applica-
ton to the duties of his office and
his pleasing personality.

We heard man say the other
night that he had been married 25
years, and that in all that time his
wife never had uttered a cross word
to him. Nobody but bonehead
would believe such statement. Per-
haps she never went after him in
public, but what wife says to her
husband in the privacy of their
home is nobody's business, and they
all say it. We have met up with a
lot of husbands but have never yet
met one that wasn't bad enough
baby once in while to deserve a
verbal mustard plaster. And there
never was woman who could live
with man 25 years without losing
her patience occasionally. And that's
that.

people who like to be bothered says
that it requires only a yard and a

whole lot more than a quarter.

WOMAN AVIATOR FORGED
 OUT BY JEALOUS MEN
At Least That Is What Mrs. Lynn Says Makes Her Quit The
 Flying Game.

London, Oct. 20 Pl-The Daily Express says that Mrs. Elliott Lynn, England's pioneer aviatrix, has re- solved to abandon flying as a pro- test against alleged jealousy, which she declares has made her life as a flier intolerable.
 For months" Mrs. Lynn told the newspaper, T have had to contend with a campaign of yelled innuendo and open maliciousness which has made life unbearable. It Is all due to jealousy, because I have had too much publicity. I have been ridicul- ed by men who scoff at the idea of 8 woman becoming a successful pilot, and sometimes the spiteful chaff has been so bad that I could hardly bring myself to go to the airdrome."
 Mrs. Lynn added that she had proved by her earnings that aviation can form successful career for a woman, but now have been refus- ed permission to act as an instruc- tor because it is said I am taking bread out of the mouths of men pilots"
 Mrs. Lynn Is credited as being the first woman in England to loop the loop in the air. She is said to have jumped from plane with a para chute at the height of 15OO feet early in the year. On October 3. flying with male passenger, she narrowly escaped death when her little moth machine crashed during races at the Yorkshire Flying club.
