SNOW FALL is HEAVY

The snow fall during the latter part
of 1926 was general all over the state.
The total for October, November and
December ranged from inches at
Bird Island to SIT inches at Baudette,
and averaged 20 inches. 1t is very
seldom that the whole state is so
heavily covered at one time, although
more severe storms covering small
areas occur almost every winter.
Figures collected by the Highway de-
partment from twenty-nine points
scattered over the state show the fol-
lowing totals for the three months:
Albert Lea, Is inches; Baudette,
SIT; Bemidji, 31.5; Bird Island, 6;
Brainerd, 10; Chatfield, %; Detroit
Lakes, 24.5; Duluth, 80; Fairmont,
1919; Faribault, %; Hallock, 1876;
Little Falls, 1872; Mankato, IS; Maple
Plain, 226; Minneapolis 1873; Monte
video, 9.S; Moorhead, 20.6; Mora, 1872;
Morris. IL; st. Cloud, IL; st. Paul,
24.6; Tracy, lis; Two Harbors, 26;
Virginia, 1873; Wadena, 10.5; Whea-
ton, 1876; Willmar, 1913; Winona, 229;
Worthington, lis.
In spite of the heavy general snow
fall, the trunk highways were kept
better than rs per cent open in Dec
ember, and better than 95 per cent
open all other winter months.

LESS THAN 2 WEEKS \
TO GET AUTO TAGS
Minnesota Fee Smaller Than Tax
in Average State.-Many Have
Higher Gas Levy.

February 18th, the last day to pay
your auto license without a penalty,
is only few days off. Those who
think the annual fee is large may get
some comfort from the fact that the
tax is lower than in the
average state.
Figures received by the American
from the Minnesota Highway Depart
ment show that the 637,735 motor
vehicles registered in Minnesota in
1926 paid an average fee of $15.64 or
a total of $9,976,246 They also paid
a total of s4,956,49S in gas taxes, an
average of SIT per car.
The total registration fees collected
in 1926 by all the states, on total
of 22,330,000 cars, were $296,000,000,
an average of $13.1S per car. But in
addition to this, automobile owners in
thirty-six states and the District of
Columbia paid a total of $125,O00,OO0
in personal property taxes. Adding
this to the registration fees, makes
an average tax of $1S.SS per car. This
is 1924 higher than the Minnesota
average. In Minnesota and nine
other states the license fee is in lieu
of all other taxes. ...
The gasoline tax also averaged
higher in other states than in Mime
sofa. The total for the year in Min
nesota was $4,956,49S, an average of
SIT per car, while the total for the
nation was $2O5, 100000, an average
of 1919. This makes the average
total of all taxes, including personal
property, gas tax and registration,
$2S.O7 for the entire United States,
while the average total of the gas
tax and license fee in Minnesota is
$23.41 per car.

SANDSTONE WINS
FROM MOOSE LAKE

The Sandstone opera house, last
Friday evening, wss the scene of a
double victory for Sandstone in basket
ball when the first and second high
school teams vanquished the high
school teams of Moose Lake. The
Moose Lake teams must be given Gre
dit for playing a good brand of basket
ball and only few times during the
most exiting moments did either team
use tactics that do not accord with
the rules, but these apparently went
by unnOticed.
The opening game was played by
the second teams, Sandstone getting
the first basket shortly after the toss
up and holding the lead throughout
the entire game. They displayed
some very good team work consider
ing that this is the second game that
they have played this season and won
by a score of "a to 10.
The game played by the first teams
proved to be very exciting contest,
Sandstone leading during the first
quarter, to 2. Moose Lake Gagged
the ball for 6 points during the second
quarter to Sandstone's 2, the half
ending 10 to s, with Sandstone lead
ing. Both teams were playing fast
basket ball during the last two peri
DDS but Sandstone managed to main
tain theN lead, the final score being
IA to Is.

Washing Letter
By " EDaley
- snOul EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION seoA

Washington, Feb. with 26 legis-
lative days remaining before the adj
journment of the Sixty-ninth Congress,
the problems of the legislative lead
ers become more acute. 1t appears
that many measures which are sent
to conference as the result of disa-
greements between the Senate or
House will bring about marked con-
gestion during the last days of Con-
gress. 1t is an old-time political
stunt to have one of these legislative
bodies pass a measure which they
know full well will be rejected by the
other, and the responsibility for fail
ure is placed upon four or six men
is to smooth out the differences.
Today Washington is crowded with
propagandists and lobbyists represent
inga multitude of causes, all desir-
GUS of making some Roadway with
their projects before the hour of adj
journment.
AS the check-up is made on ac-
cOmplishments of this Congress, at
tention is directed to leadership of
the majority and minority. In some
quarters it is said that the new pol
icy of allowing the opposition to talk
unrestrained on any and all subjects
is not the best method of conducting
business. On the other hand, those
in favor of garrulity claim that it Of
ten abstracts attention from serious
business of the Senate and House.
with the result that programs are put
through, while those opposed to var
ious measures are babbling over in
consequential matters.
Keen observers of men and meth
DDS in Washington say that the prin-
cipal orators at the Capitol are I'M
usually silent at this session. 1t is
pointed out that Senator Norris of
Nebraska, ordinarily an aggressive
and brave champion of his own ideals,
and sworn foe of monopoly, has sell
dom engaged in debate. Senator
Borah of Idaho, who. usually figures
in foreign affairs discussions has re-
stricted his flow of oratory to the is
suance of public statements to the
press. Senator Reed of Missouri,
whose worth as an orator is readily
recognized by official Washington,
has been devoting his time principal
ly to analysis of testimony by his
committee into the primary election
OIL
ma, who, with Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, occupies the role of Senate pro-
secutors. has also been chary with
his remarks. Senator Smoot, the
financial authority of the Senate, and
Senator Curtis, the Republican leader,
have also confined their talks to rou-
tine affairs. These men in partic-
ular have been in the limelight for
a number of years, and the visitors
to Washington usually ask to have
them pointed out.
There are others in the Senate and
House who are equally as earnest in
their efforts to serve, but are known
as plodders. They occupy import
tant places on committees, make it a
point to attend all sessions of these
groups, and maintain an enviable at
tendance record when roll calls are
made. While there are some motor
ious exceptions to the rule, the ma
jority of legislators devote more time
to public affairs than the average
business man gives to his own office.
Frequently, it is necessary for the

Andrew Dahlstrom died at his home
in Rock Creek January %, as re-
suit of pneumonia which he con-
tracted some five weeks ago.
Andrew Dahlstrom was born in
Sweden, January Is, 1855 He came
to the United States in 1891 and for
time resided in Duluth. In 1900 he
came to Pine county, settling ON
farm in Rock Creek township. He
was married to Matilda Saline while
living in Duluth and to this union
was born six children, Arthur, George,
Mrs. VIM. G. Olson, Axel, Hazel, and
George Dahlstrom, the last three be-
ing deceased.
Funeral services were held at Pine
Grove Lutheran church on January
25. The pail bearers were Nels Peter
son, Hans Hanson, Oscar Lindberg,
John Anderson, Frank Peterson, and
Louis Martenson.

leaders to devote their evenings to
long hours of study and preparation
for debates and public hearings on the
following day.
From a political standpoint the sit
uatiOn in China is not provoking
alarm. The movements of the Amer
lean fleet, and the safety of the Amer
lean citizens depends upon the, exc
cutive department, principally the
naval establishment. The Mexican
controversy is gradually simmering
down as the result of the resolution
passed by the Senate last week, re-
commencing an arbitration policy.
The principal difficulties deal with
question of patronage. The rejection
of Cyrus Woods as an Interstate Com
merce Commissioner was the outcrop
of sectionalism. There are indica-
tions that this patronage issue, no
matter how regrettable, will break
out again. 1t is difficult matter to
distribute high offices as patronage
so that each of the forty-eight states
will be satisfied.
The apparent quiescence on the
part of leading legislators is noticed
only at the present session. At the
first session last year things were
different Taxpayers reading brief
accounts of Congressional debates in
the newspapers seldom realize the
tremendous amount of words which
find their way into the Congressional
Record. There we're 176 issues of
the Record for the first session of this
Congress, averaging 70 printed pages
each day, which was by far the larg
est average ever maintained by any
Congress. This would indicate that
our national legislators are becoming
more loquacious each year. The cir
culation of the Congressional Record
is approximately $4,000 copies. 1t is
interesting to note that the paper used
during the first session of this Con-
gress if cut into a strip the width of
a Record page would make band
37,232s miles in length, or enough
and lap more than half around again.
Talk is not cheap in Washington.
With reference to economy in gov
ornamental expenditures cropping up
in Congressional debate, the annual
report of the Public Printer sent to
Congress this week shows that they
have a fertile field for economical
practice in their own office. 1t
is an easy matter for legis-
lator to prescribe rules and reg
ulations for other people, but it
is another matter to be governed by
them himself The Public Printer
complains filling wastebaskets of
nation, and boldly declares Congress
permits the preparation and printing
of millions of pamphlets and books that
have little or nothing to do with the
proper functions of, the Federal Gov
eminent. 1t is recommended that
Congress appropriate money for the
advertising of useful government doc
uments rather than for the wanton
waste of taxpayers money for adver-
Using congressman and senators by
an eXtravagant system of free distri-
button. The idea is not making much
Roadway in Congressional circles.
Government documents in 1926 in
creased more than 100000 copies
over 1926 and an overwhelming num-
Der were sent out on free lists main
tanned by the Departments of Con-
gress.

Two basket ball games were played
by the Pine City high school squad
last Friday evening, one with Hinck-
ley and one with Rush City. The
squad which went to Rush City won
an easy victory of 20 to 5. The game
was clean and friendly affair and
played to a packed house such as
always turns out to witness a Pine
City-Rush City tilt
At Hinckley, however, the local
sqad met a hard fighting team and
dropped the game to them by a score
of % to Ia. This game was a very
good one and an interesting one to
the spectators. Both teams seemed
short on experience, but nevertheless,
the game was clean and snappy from
the first whistle to the last. For
Hinckley, Nichols. and Stanchfield
proved to be fastest players, while
Brown, who substituted, also played
a wonderful defense game. The line
