THAT ROAD

If L were school bus driver or
mail carrier, the county road author
tiles would hear from me every other
day. would pat them on the Shout
der and tell them that they are
A-No. 1 experts at making roads.
do not mean the men that do the
work, but the ones who give orders
as to how the work is to be done.
How do we spend the money we pay
out for the purpose of improving
roads? First we go to work and
build a stretch of road at an expense
of some $4,000. After a while that
road wears down, and if we don't
wear it down fast enough, we go over
it with a road drag or grader, and
there it has not got so far to travel
to get back into the ditch where it
came from. Then we get tractor
outfit to get it out of the ditch again,
but we do not get it into the middle
of the road. Oh, no, we want the
reservoir. You may not know what
that is, and I don't know if do, but
it is some kind of new road engineer
ing, something we never knew of be-
FORE BY leaving the dirt at the
sides of the road gives it chance
to enter the ditch quicker, so that we
can start the business over again
and keep the taxpayers dollar roll
ling. 1t is an easy matter for those
who are drawing wages to look after
it. But who are footing the bills?
If our present road authorities do not
know how to fix roads, discharge
them and get somebody that knows
how, somebody that will serve the
people and not their own ideas only.

In most of the comment one reads
against bank guarantee law for
Minnesota it is generally pointed out
that laws like those in North and
South Dakota, Texas and other states
is certainly not to be desired here be-
cause they have not worked out sue
cessfully in those states. But why
point to the ones not so good, why not
talk about the one in Nebraska which
has proved successful for Is years?
A committee from the Minnesota leg
fslature journeyed to Nebraska to ex-
anime and study that law. The
legislature has dilly-dallied so long
on various bank guarantee proposals
that a real law stands no chance of
passage now at this session. One
patterned after the Nebraska law has
been introduced but it is so far down
in the grist of bills that it cannot
get the proper hearing. A vote was
taken in the senate the other day to
get it up on general orders so it would
have chance to be voted on at this
session, but it fell through. 1t is
pleasing to note, however, that SEN
ator Adolph S. Larson of Sandstone,
voted with the progressives to give
the bill a hearing which likely also
indicates that he would vote for the
bill on its final passage if it had pro-
crossed that far.

Which Shows That Drivers
Can Be Careful.

Here is little flash at Duluth's
automobile death statistics that
ought to teach the dullest of us some
thing:
Last August six people were killed
by automobiles in Duluth.
Last September NOBODY was killed
by an automobile in Duluth.
Why?
Part of the reason why nobody was
killed in September was that so many
were killed in August.
That may seem paradoxical until it
is recalled that two men were ar
rested. charged with manslaughter,
for two of the August killings.
One of these men went to the pen
itentiary and the other got off.
But the fact that two were arrested
for August killings was the direct
cause of September's freedom from
automobile tragedies.
There were as many automobiles
going in September as there were in
August
But there were no killings in Sep
TENDER because the consequences of
the August killings made drivers more
careful.
Drivers were careful in September
because the consequences of Red Aug
ust scared them. So there were no
killings in September.
Then drivers began to forget, and
there was another killing in October
Then more forgot and there were
three killings in November and three
more in December.
But while they remembered, they
were careful; so September, while
they were remembering, was a no.
death month.
But drivers forget too soon.
Why can't they be careful all the
time, not just while they are afraid
to be careless? They could if they
would.-Duluth Herald.

ON CASH BASIS

On page of this issue you will
find the official county commissioners
proceedings from the last meeting,
wherein it will be noted that the
county has gone on a cash basis. The
road and bridge fund was overdrawn
to the extent of about 100000 which
had piled up gradually throughout
the past few years and the county was
paying six per cent interest on the
bonds the money is gotten from the
state at four and one-quarter per
cent. Furthermore the county has
pledged itself not to spend any more
money on roads and bridges than cur
rent tax revenues each year will per-
NIT until the bonds have been paid.
This is wise step and the drastic
measure was necessary in order to
get back on cash basis and sound
footing. The commissioners are to
be commended for their actions.
SMany appeared before the board and
made their wishes known and resolu-
tions were passed by some of the
southern county townships to this eff
feet, newspaper articles had been
written and this is as it should be.
The board desires to hear from the
many so it is in a better position to
carry out the wishes of the citizens
and taxpayers. There has been ten
dency of late years nearly all over
to spend faster than incomes would
warrant The fact that this is a
large county and not so densely pop
ulated and the constant clamor for
more and more roads had put the
county commissioners in precarious
position. The roads Of course are
often needed but the necessary money
is not always there.

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
CONCERNING aELMER GANTRY,

Editor Askov American:
In your last issue you reprinted
from the Duluth Herald" an article
denouncing Sinclair Lewis in general.
and his latest book, ELMER Gantry",
in particular. AS one who has read
the book-rather than being satisfied
with other peoples opinions of it
/ would like to call your attention to
the fact that nowhere in this novel
does Mr.. Lewis, as the Duluth Her.
aid" writer claims, say that Elmer
Gantry is "a typical clergyman. He
says nothing of the kind.
What he does show is that there
are in some of the Reformed churches
such conditions existing as to make
an Elmer Gantry possible. The book
is an attack upon hypocritical min
lister, and in same degree, upon GER
tain class of church people who are
so deluded that they applaud the pull
pit sensationalism exemplified by
Elmer GantrV. BY their applause and
their most cordial approval of extreme
advertising and noise methods in the
church they make just such an indi-
vidual as Gantry possible.
And, pray, who will stand up and
swear that they haven't met some
minister uncannily like this 'rev-
erend gentleman?
Mr.. Lewis book is picture of con-
temporary American life, as seen from
one viewpoint. That viewpoint may
be as thoroughly justified as that of
the writer who is quoted in the
Duluth Herald" article. 1t is argued
that Mr. Lewis has an eye on 'the
main chance, that is, on the money
coming to him as the result of his
literary efforts.
Does the writer in the Duluth
Herald" contribute his comments free
of charge?

Here is what the well known editor
ial writer, Arthur Brisbane, says
about race track gambling: Britain
should thank this country for pro-
ducing and sending to London Lady
Aston from Virginia, to say nothing
of the great Astor fortune. First
Lady Aston showed British women the
way to parliament. Now she helps
to defeat an effort to legalize British
race track gambling. She knows
that betting on races enriches in
Britain, as it does here, am utterly
worthless tribe of race track touts,
gamblers and horse owners, whose
sport makes thieves of other mems
employees"
