SOUTH POLE PLANE
AT MINNESOTA FAIR
Plane in Which South Pole
Flight Will be Made to be
at Mimi. State Fair

The airplane in which Capt
George H. Wilkins flew across the
North Pole in April, and which he
has just announced that he will use
in an attempted flight across the
South Pole this winter, bids fair to
be the outstanding attraction of the
Minnesota State Fair and Northwest
Livestock Show, which opens Satur-
day morning, September /.
When Captain Wilkins agreed to
visit the State Fair several weeks
ago he was planning on using new
ship with pontoons for his Antarc-
tic expedition. In the last few days,
however, he has found that the kind
of plane he wants cannot be built for
this Southern trip, and he has decid-
ed to use the Lockheed Vega mono
plane which carried him and Lieut..
Carl B. Ellison safely across the
North Pole. Immediately after the
State Fair Wilkins and Ellison will
fly this plane to New York City,
where it will be equipped with pom
toons and shipped to the Antarctic.
Preparations are being made to
handle more than 100000 persons at
the Goth annual State Fair, which
gets under way Saturday. Every
thing is in readiness, and the man.
agement will present the biggest and
best program in its long history. 1t
will be a $25 5,OO0, 900 exposition.
With the biggest livestock, crops
and machinery shows in years, and
with such sterling entertainment at
fractions as Giuseppe Creatore and
his band; the phantom driverless car,
driven by radio control from air.

GAS AMENDMENT
WILL BE- LIVE issue
L. p. Larson Is Appointed Local
Chairman of Gasoline Tax
Amendment No. l

Whether persons living on the
township and county roads shall have
a share of the gasoline tax fund TO
help pull themselves out of the mud
promises to be one of the live ques-
tions at the coming election, stated
L. P. Larson, recently appointed To-
cal chairman of Gasoline Tax Amend
ment.
Led by Senator L. P. Johnson of
Ivanhoe as chairman, committees are
being formed throughout the state
to organize and carry on systemat-
ic campaign of education, looking to
the passage of the gasoline tax
amendment, which would allow a
third of the receipts from the tax to
be used on township and county
roads.
At present the entire proceeds OF
the gasoline tax-some S5,0O0,OOO-
90 into the trunk highway fund and
along with the motor vehicle taxes
and federal aid funds are used to i'm
prove the trunk highways. Much
paving and graveling has been done
on the trunk highways.
But most Of the farmers OF the
state and many of the smaller towns
are not located on trunk highways.
While Improvement of the trunk
highway system has gone on rapidly,
they have had to keep on wrestling
with bad roads, roads that were I'M
passible for weeks in the spring or at
hot noIv n2rtlV
improved.
"We pay motor vehicle taxes,
some of the men on these secondary
roads began to argue. eve pay gas
oline taxes. But the money all is be-
ing spent on roads that for the most
part we do not use. The roads we
use are the secondary roads. Why
can't we, who help to pay for good
roads have some as well as the men
who happen to live on the trunk
highway"
That feeling, developing from year
to year, became so lnslstent thal
the Minnesota legislature two years
ago passed by an overwhelming vote
a bill providing for the submission
of an amendment to the state constl-
tuition to make possible a diversion
of part of the gasoline tax to the To-
cal roads. This amendment is to be
submitted to the voters at the Nov
ember election.
The amendment provides that a
third of the proceeds of the gasoline
tax shall be placed in the state road
and bridge fund and two-thirds In the
state trunk highway fund. The road
and bridge fund is distributed among
the counties, no county to receive less
than onehalf of one per cent nor
more than three per cent OF the
fund. So a third of the gasoline tax
receipts would be. distributed.
Approval of the measure in the
country districts is quite general
when it is explained, Senator johnson
said. But many do not know what the
amendment does or realize its impor-
tance to their local community. AS
a result, he said, systematic cam
paipn will be carried on until elec-
tion time to get out favorable vote
in November. A big vote in the
country is essential, for the three
large cities, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth, are expected to oppose
the amendment.
