A big noise has been made over the
state for proposed twenty million
road bond issue. the money to be used
to further improve the 1000 miles
of trunk roads. The cry is for more
paving. A number of newspapers
have fallen in line and joined the
hoOray and whoop-er-up gang, a big
meeting being recently held in the
Twin Cities where the sentiment ap-
peared unanimous for the movement
OF course those who attended were
supposed to be for it, After all that
noise it is really refreshing to have

easily Swayed by the noise. He knows
that bills have to be footed and it is
well to apply the brakes yet for a
while. Mr.. Reed stated that Mime
sofa has a total of 100, 200 miles of
roads. Anyone will readily see that
the 1000 miles of trunk roads is only
a small portion of the entire mileage
and there is limit to how much con-
sideratiOn it should be given. The
100000 miles of roads outside of the
trunk system, mean as much or more
to the rural communities than do
the 1000. There is enough money
from automobile tax and gas tax now

Although the leading nation in the
world in many ways we can learn
from others. The manner in which
the Japanese have taken to the bal
lot should stir Americans a little
when we stop to consider that only
about so per cent of the eligible vot-
ers here bothered to go to the polls
at the last presidential election. Of
fetal figures for Japan's first general
election held recently under the new
universal manhood suffrage law, show
that the new electorate has taken
its privilege seriously, the total vote
being more than so per cent of those
eligible. The total number of votes
registered was approximately $780,
900 out of possible electorate of
about 100000. The good showing
in Japan when compared to the United
States may also in part be due to
its being new, but if the Japanese
maintain that interest in elections,
or perhaps even improve it, they are
destined to forge ahead. There is an
old saying something to the effect
that we get about the kind of gov
eminent that we are entitled to, and
there is much truth in it.

Farming is mainly limited to rails

toes and turnips are successfully
raised, but wheat for bread is not

The Icelanders buy little farm ma

American make. Their small tools
and implements such as plows, har-

come from Danish and German sour

The Icelanders are very demo-

labor belongs to a lower caste. But
they are strong for cooperation.
and have many cooperative agencies
which really are partnerships.
The Washington observers believe
that trade will increase between the

are expected to flock there when the

whether any pair of headlights were
legal
The new plan provides definite and
uniform tests for determining whether
lamps are legal.
Enforcement of the headlight law,
as formerly, will be left to local peace
officers, but the official tests are ex-
