31,255 MILES SURFACED
HIGHWAYS IN STATE
Minnesota Near the Top of All
States i'm Crawling Secondary
Roads, Fl CURES Show.-A Good
Roads State.

Minnesota now has 81 1855 miles of
surfaced highways, state and local,
according to figures recently compiled
by the Minnesota Highway depart
ment. Until recently Minnesota has
been ranked fifth among the states
in the total number of miles of i'm
proved roads in reports made by the
U. S. Bureau of Public roads, but
unless Wisconsin and New York have
graveled as many miles as Mime
sofa has during the past year, there
are now only two states, Indiana and
Ohio, which have definite lead over
Minnesota.
Commissioner c. NJ Babcock en-
phasizes, however, that the above fig
ures include all roads, state and
local, and that when trunk highways
alone are considered, there are a
great many states that are ahead of
Minnesota, at least in paving. The
trunk highway plan, which made the
state aid and all local road funds
available exclusively for use on sec
ondary roads, has brought about a
great improvement in secondary roads
in Minnesota in the last six years,
he points out.
Compilation of the reports made by
the county engineers on the condition
of state aid roads, has just been
completed by the Highway depart
ment. The totals show that many
other counties besides Pine made SUBJ
stantial improvements in the state
aid roads during 1927. The number
of miles of each type of state aid
road now and year ago are as
follows:

feel that Senator Borah has taken on
task in which he has no particular
interest by demanding of each can,
didate for the Presidential nominal
ton that he definitely assert his
views on the wet and dry issue.
There is no secret of the fact that
the leaders of both parties would pre-
fer to have these questions remain
unanswered, at least until they have
picked candidate and a platform
at the Houston and Kansas City con-
ventiOns.
Years ago public charges that
trusts existed in any industry would
create a Juror. While the public in
terest is not as keen as formerly
in controversies of this kind unusual
attention is given to the claims ad-
vanced before a House committee this
week to the effect that a radio
monopoly exists and is gradually ex-
tending its influence. The fact that
millions of citizens are ardent radio
fans and spend enormous sums for
equipment makes the charges of the
independent radio producers of more
than ordinary interest. 1t is contend
ed that the larger organizations are
attempting to monopolize the radio
industry through patent control. The
subject of trusts and the govern
ment's attitude on these charges is
expected to break in all its fury when
the legislation reaches the Floors of
the Senate and House.
The persistence of Senator LaFol-
lette in attempting to place the Sen
ate on record against third term
has created CONSERVATION among the
Senators. 1t is said that many legis-
lators who advocated the proposition
during Wilson's regime, now find
themselves in troubled waters. They
are endeavoring to have the LaFol-
lette resolution amended to definitely
eliminate any phraseology detriment-
al or in criticism of President Cool
idge.
President Coolidge is perhaps the
busiest man in Washington these
days. Aside from his official duties,
which require his full attention dur
ing the day and frequently his formal
appearance and speech making at
night, the Chief Executive has little
time for privacy. He has held
series of breakfasts where he played
host to groups of Legislators in adj
dition to his state dinners at night.
Just before luncheon as an appe-
tizer he is obliged to welcome many
visitors and shake hands with hun
dreds of people who pass by in the
receiving line. Being President re-
quires a tremendous amount of phys
ical energy, as well as patience.
