HIGHWAY PROGRESS IN IOWA

An effort is now being made to
bring about a special session of the
Iowa legislature to consider the
submission of $100,00O,O00 road
bond issue to the voters. Every
member of the legislature has re-
celved- a copy of the law that is
proposed and blanks on which he
might indicate his stand for or
against a special legislative ses-
sion. iliIf "a majority of both houses
favor a special session, Governor
Hammill will be asked to call it.
Fifty-three of the ninety-nine
counties already have voted bonds
for road Improvement. In those
hfty-three counties reside approx
lmately seventy per cent of the
states population. Thus the sem
tlment in4favor of road improve
ment is plainly indicated. The sad
part of itsis that, despite this
sentiment, the situation is such
that not a single cross-state high
way can 4bes.completely paved. On
each highway certain counties have
refused to vote bonds. "A state
bond issue would make possible the
completion of 1900 miles of hard
surfaced primary roads within five
or SIX years. Without such a bond
issue there will be mud holes ON
all the crossstate roads for many
years to come. Here's hoping that
the legislature meets and puts
across the bond issue. Just he
cause a minority bunch of unpro-
gressive Iowa citizens refuse to
vote bonds to pave through their
counties is no reason that the Iowa
state highway paving plan should
be held up.-Albert Lea Tribune.

Gopher State Drops to
Twenty-Sixth in Tax Rank
Average Car in Florida Pays
1882 Eee-Minnesota 1888,
Bond Issues Not Included

Minnesota, with an average au-
tomobile license fee of $17.19 in
1922, was among the leading states
in the amount which each owner
contributed to better highways.
There were only seven states at
that time where the average was
higher. New Hampshire at that
time led the nation with an aver
age of $25. 73, Oregon was second
with $24. 16 and Connecticut third
with 1882. ~
But in 1926 Minnesota had
dropped from eighth to twenty
sixth rank, according to a table
presented at the convention of the
American Association of State
Highway Officials in Denver this
month by w. C. Markham, the
secretary. This was in spite of the
fact that Minnesota in the mean
time had added a gas tax which in
1926 averaged $7.62 per car. A
reduction in license rates had
brought the average fee to $15.83,
making the total average tax $23.-
As.
b. In the meantime other states had
made large increases in their Ii
cense and gas taxes so that in
1926 average tax per car in Flor
ida was $45. 32, North Carolina
$44. SO, Oregon $40. O3,. South
Carolina $35 so, Arkansas $34.58,
Connecticut 1885.
The Florida , figure may seem
large, but it is less than 10 per
cent of the cost of operating the
average car, including deprecia-
ton. -:
The figures include only cash
contributions by motorists, and do
not include receipts from bond
issues, many states having made
large bond issues to hasten road
building. \, x

BOY SCOUTS AND SCOUTING

Everyone, whether he be a day
laborer, a school student, a big
business man, or the president of
the United States, must combine
pleasure with his work. The grow
ing boy is no exception to this
rule. He, more than anyone,
should learn that there is a time
for work as well as a time for play.
With this in mind, the worldwide
Boy Scout organization was effect
ed.
AT the present time it is an in
ternational order with representa-
lions in all of the important coun-
tries of the world. Two and one
half million copies of the Scout
Manual were published this Fall
in preparation for anticipated de-
mand for winter work. The move
ment is very well organized, is a
permanent institution, with COM
plete work and play programs out
lined for each individual member.
Various motives might be ad-
vanced for joining an organization
of this type. Membership is oper
to all boys of twelve years and
over. There is no class distinc-
ton, no religious differences, ev-
eryone is just himself and is treat
ed as such. The work program is
the same for each and every bow,
embodying such cardinal princip-
les as Loyalty, Patriotism, Cour-
age, Self-reliance, Reverence, OBJ
edience, Trustworthiness, Cleanli-
ness, Cheerfulness, and host of
other virtues. The recreational
program teaches among other
things ability to take care of your
self in time of trouble, to swim,
to hike, to preserve and protect
Nature, to take defeat and victory
in the right manner, and to profit
by, not only your own mistakes,
but also those of others.
The local troop of Scouts have
had one or two organization meet
ings this Fall, and will soon begin
their regular program. For vari-
Gus reasons there are several vac
ancies in the Scout Troop which
will be filled. Several applications
have been received and will be
considered. The application of
any boy, above twelve years of
age who wishes to become Scout,
and is willing to conform to the
spirit and the rules of the organi-
cation, will be acted upon favor
ably.
s, Could anything be better for
your growing boy than to have
him live up to this oath during the
four most important years of his
life:
"On my honor / will do my best
1. To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout
law;
2. To help other people at all
times;
3. To keep myself physically a
strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight"

St. Cloud, Sept. II, 1927
Dear Teacher:-
The publishers of the
Sank Centre Herald are about
to put on a subscription con-
test in which six valuable
pieces of playground equip
ment will be offered as prizes
and of which explanatory
material is herewith enclosed.
Ordinarily this office does
not concern itself with mat
tiers of this kind, but where
our own county newspapers
are concerned we gladly give
our assistance, knowing that
they have always been more
than willing and ready to
help our schools. Among the
foremost in this RESPECT is the
Sank Centre Herald, whose
publishers have been close
personal friends of mine, as
well as of our schools for a
number of years. l believe
their offer to be genuine and
that the schools which are. so
inclined may profitably par
ticipate in their contest.
All inquiries relating to
the contest should be made of
the Sank Centre Herald,
Sank Centre, Mimi.
Respectfully yours,
William A. Boerger,
- Co. Supt. of Schools.

VIRGINIA'S GOOD
ROADS PROGRAM

For the last decade the state OF Vir.
ginia has been paying the penalty OF
bad roads. Throughout the country
she has earned the name Of being
backward. Rural sections, because OF
poor transportation facilities, have
been slow to develop. Land values
have been checked in their natural
tendency to increase, says the Wash
ington Post. Tourists have been
warned away from some Of the most
attractive areas on the eastern sea.
board, and what should be q resort
business bringing millions of dollars
into the state never has had a chance
to get started.
Far-seeing critizens of the Old Do
minicp have been awake to the situa-
ton, and from time to time attempts
have been made to start the good
roads movement. Five years ago, for
instance, a bodybuilding bond issue
was placed before the people. It was
badly beaten. Later, however, q tax
OF three cents was imposed upon every
gallon Of gasoline sold, the proceeds
Of which were to be used for road
building and maintenance. Other
funds for this purpose were and are
obtained from automobile title fees,
license fees, personal property taxes
and, Of course, federal aid.
Now It is announced from Rich.
mond that a ive-year road-buildine
program to cost $85,000,000 will be un-
dertaken Immediately. So heavy Is
the consumption Of gasoline that the
gas tax" will pay for the good roads
program without placing an additional
penny Of debt upon the state. Cover

elected on a platform containing q
pledge that his party would promote
the road-building movement. This is
tangible evidence that campaign prom.
ises are to be fulfilled
