Rural Vote Puts Gas Tax Over

St. Paul-An avalanche of favorable
votes from rural districts of the state
resulted in adoption of the gasoline tax
amendment after early returns had in
dicated it's defeat. This brings before
the state legislature the problem Of
providing additional revenues for the
trunk highway fund. Nearly $780,
600 will be diverted annually from
the trunk highway fund to road funds
of Minnesota counties. C.. M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
reiterated his statement made prior to
election that an increase of 100 per
cent in the present gasoline tax will
be necessitated if the deficit, result
ing from passage of the amendment,
in the trunk highway fund is to be
made up. Commissioner Babcock de-
clared that If the amendment is held
to be retroactive as of Nov. 6 he will
likely be forced to defer payment on
some highway debts already incurred
because of diversion of funds to the
various counties.

FINLAYSON SCHOOL NOTES

The nurse who is sent out by the
state health department will examine
the children in our school Thursday
and Friday.
1t has been found necessary to post
pone the school program until Tues
day. Nov. Goth. Don't forget that you
want to see this varied program. The
money received is to be used for bas-
ketball purposes.
Some of the high school boys have
been getting the town hall ready for
basketball. The first practices will
be this week. Willow River plays
here November 23rd, and so our boys
will have to work hard to get ready
in only a few practices.
Basketball practices for boys will
be held three times a week from
eight to ten. The girls will meet
once a week from seven to eight, and
the younger boys will meet once a
week at the same hour.
Next week will conclude our second
six weeks period. Who is going to
be on our next honor role? Several
were not eligible last time because
of low department marks. We should
have more honor students. Behave
and work hard should be our slogan

Walla Walla at eight o'clock and after seeing all
the sights in the village, departed for Roots

later mountain climbing, even tho there was
slight rain. At three o'clock all returned to Walla
Walla where they inspected the penitentiary.
Afterwards they attended the new Liberty Thea
tire and heard the Vitaphone. About half of the
group ate the remainder of the hot dogs and ice
cream while the others were enjoying the picture
show. The tired and weary voyagers reached
home about nine pm. none the worse for wear.
