A young man who is SO sensitive
that he would abandon friendship

looks impossible to hold on to both.

or other reasons, to get to a certain
place, nearly always prefers the pave
ment, but the summer tourist often
prefers the gravel roads as being less
monotonous.
On Minnesota trunk highways the
traveller knows no county lines or To-
cal boundaries. This causes much
favorable comment from those who
have travelled in other states, where
highway Improvement is dependent on
county financing and where 1t is a
common experience to change sud-
denly from a very good road to- a very
poor road when you cross the county
line.
While Mr.. Babcock's aim In all high
way Improvement has been to serve
first the Minnesota car owner the year
around, scenic effects and the things
that please tourists have not been
neglected.
Two Minnesota highways are rap.
idly gaining national fame as scenic
roads. Trunk Highway No. along
the Mississippi River and Trunk
Highway No. 1 along the north shore
of Lake Superior. But wherever the
tourist goes on the Minnesota trunk
highways, there is an ever-changing
panorama of prosperous farms, grain
and corn and dairy herds and beauti-
full homes, then thriving industrial
centers, then lakes, ten thousand of
them, and cool forests and streams
and waterfalls, and farther north, the
great iron ranges which furnish two
thirds of all the ore mined in America.
Development of the secondary roads
in Minnesota has kept pace with i'm
provement of the trunk highways. The
trunk highway plan released the mon
ey in the state aid fund, which amounts
to nearly 100000 annually, for use
on the main county roads. There are
1923 miles of state aid roads of which
9,400 are surfaced. A large percentage
of the local roads are also surfaced,
a recent survey by the u. s. Bureau
of Public Roads showing that on the
trunk highways, secondary and local
roads taken together, Minnesota has
about $4,000 miles Of surfaced road,
nearly one-fourth Of its entire road
mileage. Only four states, New York,
Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin, have a
larger number of miles surfaced. Many
states, like Illinois and California,
which have larger mileage of paved
roads than Minnesota, are far behind
Minnesota in the mileage of surfaced
secondary roads.
The improvement and maintenance
of the Minnesota trunk highways is
financed entirely by the auto license
fees, the gasoline tax, and federal aid.
The state aid fund comes from one
mill tax on all property within the
county, SO that only the town roads
are paid for entirely by the rural
property owners.

STOCK MARKETS
ALWAYS HIGHEST
South St. Paul Packing Plants
Take Much of Minnesota
Livestock Production.

One Of Minnesota's big business as
sets and a large factor in the progress
and prosperity of the Northwest is the
South st. Paul livestock market, which
has become one of the great livestock
centers in the nation.
Approximately $150,000, 900 per year
Is paid to Northwest farmers and
stockmen for livestock sold on this
market.
From the time the yards were
opened = September 80, 1887-the
South st. Paul market has made pro-
gress- consummate with the growth
and expansion of the territory it
serves and over the period of its ex-
istence its greatest accomplishment
perhaps is the permanent place 1t
has given agriculture in the Northwest
states. 1t is the outlet for thousands
of carloads of livestock every year.
Receipts of livestock at South St.
Paul in 1926 totaled 1,1S0,240 head Of
cattle, 729,703 calves, 3,450,637 hogs,
1882 sheep, and 1871 horses.
In this connection, President T. E.
Good of the st. Paul Union Stock
Yards Company, stated in his last an
nua1 report:
High Record Year
Nineteen Twenty-six was another
good year for this market. A new
high record for total receipts was es-
tablished with 8S,279 cars of stock re-
ceived By rail and 1898 loads Of stock
by automobile truck, an increase of
1876 rail carloads and 1855 truck
loads over 1925. Transposing truck
receipts to a railroad car basis, there
Is an increase of 2,217 cars, total in
crease for the year equivalent to 5000
railroad cars"
For the past several years South
st. Paul has held first place as COM
mercial dairy cow center and as a
point of supply for stocker and feed
er pigs. In both of these phases Of
the livestock industry the market also
has enjoyed the distinction of furnish
ing buyers with the best material OBJ
tainab1e.
In 1926, 3,450,s37 hogs were market
ed here and of these eighty-nine per
cent were purchased for local slaugh-
ter. This contrasts greatly with the
prevalent opinion in the early days Of
the market that South st. Paul never
would be large hog market, as 1t
was out Of the corn belt, and corn
could not be grown in Northern states.
Experiments proved to the contrary,
however, and with the South st. Paul
livestock and packing industries fur
nishing the demand for hogs, North
west farmers have been able to make
very profitable addition to their
category Of farm operations and prod
ucts.
South st. Paul is the gateway Of the
Northwest through which thousands
of range bred cattle pour annually for
distribution. Lying within the corn
belt makes it doubly important as a
distribution point for Western cattle,
many of which are sold here to corn
belt buyers to be returned later as a
highly finished product ready for the
block. Not only does it rank high
with other markets by~way of receipts,
but it is second to no other market
in modern and complete equipment
with which to give it's patrons the ut
most service possible.
All things considered, the Northwest
owes much to the South St Paul mar
ket

BILLION is COST
OF ROAD BUILDING

The cost Of building and maintain
Ing roads of this country amounts to
nearly $1,0OO,OOO,OO0 a year and is
being paid directly or indirectly by
motorists who make use Of the high
ways, according to a study made by
Thomas II. Macdonald, chief of the
bureau of public roads, Department Of
Agriculture.
The cost represents the money spent
each year just for country reads and
does not include the expense Of city
streets.
More interesting than the read de-
velopment ITSELF" said Mr.. MacDen-
aid, "are the various means employed
to distribute highway costs among
motorists in a just and convenient
manner.
Estate gasoline and registration
taxes represent about half Of this
amount. The gasoline tax varies from
l to cents In the various states, while
New Jersey, New York, Illinois and
Massachusetts, have no gas tax. These
states depend upen the great number
OF automobile registrations to furnish
revenue for road construction.
"Other important sources Of revenue
for highways are property taxes on
automobiles of this country, federal
excise tax on automobiles, parts AMI
accessories and fines collected from
motorists.
There are also the taxes on prop
erty Of the automobile manufacturer
and buildings and lots devoted to mo-
tor car merchandising. The income
and corporation taxes from motor
business and the state, local, produc-
ton, corporation or income taxes Of
the petroleum industry add to the
road fund.-"
Federal aid also assists in road
building, but its share is comparative
ly small, according to Macdonald, who
says: I'm the eight years from 1918
to 1925, the government has contrib
uted $460.OOO,OOO to help the states
build roads.
THAT Is considerably less than half
Of what the country spent on roads
In either 1924 or 1925. Moreover, in
the same eight years that the govern
ment was distributing $500 900 in
the states. 1t collected $S73, 100000 In
internal revenue taxes on motor cars,
parts and accessories, so motorists
furnish the money for this contribu-
ton"

Good Roads Notes

The tax on motor cars in Japan Is
said to be the highest In the world.
The annual tax on cars of more than
20 horse power Is $312.13.
DustleSs motor car travel on the
two great trunk lines of Michigan, the '
famous west Michigan and the Mack
mac trail. has become fact.
Underground passages for automo-
biles at the principal street intersec-
items are to be constructed this year
In Paris to relieve traffic congestion.
The system will be extended II the
idea works.
Apportionment of the $500, 900 road
fund for the national forests among
the states for the fiscal year of 1928
has been announced by the forest servs~
ice, United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
World highway development has
been progressing rapidly. More than
$550,000,O00 has been voted by ma
lions exclusive Of the United States,
during the last II months for highway
projects.
Two factors are chiefly responsible
for the building Of roads Of made
quate width. One is the failure to en-
vison future traffic needs, even In
face Of past experience and history.
The second Is that of false economy.
Grade crossing accidents are on the
Increase In the United States, In spite
Of safety schemes and crossing elm
ination work being done In many Sec

ports Of all the large railroad lines
of the country.
