BORROW AND PAVE NOW.

Minnesota needs more paved high
ways, many miles of them. We found
that out last spring. Some of US
had been thinking so for some time,
but a lot more of US, after watching
the bottom go out of many miles of
erstwhile fine gravel roads and see
ing traffic sink deep in the mud for
weeks, began to see that Charles M.
Ee"eock, father of our good roads
ana, was right and is right.
-r several years, Mr.. Babcock
urged a twenty-million dollar
~ issue, based on and secured by
taxes derived from motor vehi-
les and gasoline. He has demon
ated the true economy of this
easure. He has shown that it
would save huge amounts now ex-
pended for maintaining gravel roads
against the pounding of heavy traf-
&c. The bonds would pave these
roads at once and save the excessive
maintence costs, at the much smaller
cost of interest on the bonds. They
would be paid off out of the State
Road Tax Fund. They would be no
burden on the State, no obligation
of the ordinary taxpayer.
Last springs breakup, running
miles of road and costing the State
huge amounts for requirements, was
such a condition as we may have any
spring. If we are now in a "wet
cycle" of years, we are likely to have
it every spring as long as the cycle
lasts. = ssIaf
But last springs misfortune
brought it's benefits. 1t walked Min
nesota up to the imperative need Of
speeding up the paving of the State
highways. The change in sentiment
on this question is reported as so
great as to foreshadow strong de-
mand on the next Legislature to
authorize the immediate issue of the
Babcock bonds. Organization for
this purpose is already under way.
A preliminary meeting of represent
ativ men from various sections of
the State was held in Minneapolis
Saturday, and call was issued for
statewide meeting at the Capitol on
February Is next.
This movement should gather
Roadway rapidly. The time for it is
ripe. The Babcock Amendment to
the State Constitution, under which
the system of State highways has
been brought to its present advanced
stage of development, authorizes the
issue of these bonds. 1t needs only
that the Legislature should direct
their issue under proper restrictions.
The road bond issue has been de-

at appears the governor is fold-
ing off on the appointment OF
Game and Fish Commissioner be-
cause the political machine in the
Twin Cities is unable to find rev
lob for the present incumbent.
). mere is a growing feeling in the
3o,thern part Of the state, and
..cially in the territory of big
u.. the next Game and Fish Com
.-.caer should be from the north
gart of the state, and that he
nd be a real believer in the con-
rvetion of the wild animal life OF
. state instead of a politician. The
rowhead country has a number OF
m who are capable of filling the
n sition, and its game conservation
ISIS should get busy backing the
right man for the job. 1t appears to
be the opinion of not few summer
resort owners in the north country,
unless there is a decided change in
the policy of the Game and Fish
Commission there will-between
hunters and diseases-be very little
big game, cartridges or rabbits, left
in the northern woods two years
from now. The Minnesota Arrow
head Association should back the
right kind Of a man, or woman for
this position F. Peterson in
Cook Herald.
The Miner holds no brief for j.
F. Gould, state game and fish COM
missioner, but we will say that he
is the best game and fish commits
sioner this state has ever had. Not
only has he put the Office on bust
ness basis, but he has secured the
assistance of real workers in the
cause of conservation of game and
fish. Among crews of wardens that
come directly under our notice we
wish to attest the ability and integ-
rity of Chief Warden Bill Hanson of
Winton and his assistants; Beatty in
the Cook district; Anderson at Tow
err; Tabor at Two Harbors; Fair
banks at Hibbing and several others
all of whom have proven efficient
and are always on the job.
We would also ask "Pete" to
name a few of those who are so much
more eminently qualified to fill this
position than is "Jay" Gould. The
mere fact that northern Minnesota
man could fill the place is no excuse
for separating a tireless and effic-
lent official from a place he has ac-
ceptably filled. There are also nor
thern Minnesota men capable of be-
ing governor, senator, cabinet offic-
ial or president, but why depose
Governor Christensen, President
Coolidge, Senator Shipstead or
Frank B. Kellogg just for that? J..
F. Gould has made good in the office
and all that is being said against him
is that he was a politician. If he was
as successful as a politician as he is
a game commissioner, we can truth
fully say he was a good one.
