EQUALITY OF

Was Keynote of Address by

Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, at Meeting
of Farmers in ASkOv.

The Farm Bureau meeting at the
D. B. S. hall yesterday afternoon was
quite well attended but the crowd
was kept waiting for some time for
the speaker of the day, ]. F. Reed,
president of the Minnesota Farm Bu-
reau Federation, who had missed train
connections in the Twin Cities. He
arrived at about p. m, but part of
the crowd had already left. Those
who remained were however well re-
paid as Mr., Reed gave an Informative
address.
First on the afternoons program
was a debate by six high school boys
on the question of whether Guernsey
cattle or Holsteins are better suited
for Pine county conditions. Ernest
Madsen, Carl Dixen, and Edwin So
rensen argued in favor of the Guern-
seys and Leonard Frahs, Viggo Miller,
and Einar Mortensen upheld the
Holsteins. The Holsteiners won the
unanimous decision of the three
judges.

following officers for the year: Carl

Under auspices of the AskOv Co
Operative Assn meeting was held
in the d. B. S. hall Saturday after
noon for the purpose of discussing
the feasibility of starting a co-opera-
tive oil company here. Outside speak
ers and authorities in the matter had
been secured to lay the matter clearly
before the big attendance-they be-
ing J. H. Hay, state deputy commits
sioner of agriculture, and E. G. Cort
of Minneapolis.
Various angles of the project were
gone into very thoroughly and every
one realized that it takes actual cash
to make the undertaking a success.
less $1,000 in actual cash could be
raised it would be impossible to go
through with the project. This was
later cut down a little and the final
plans resulted in that the new organi-
cation shall sell shares and if $4,000
worth of shares can be sold for &C
tual cash before May 1st and the bal
ance subscribed for, then articles of
incorporation will be filed that day
and the company commence to func-
ton in legal way.

MINNESOTA GAS TAX
LAW THOUGHT VALID
Illinois Decision VIII Not Affect
Levy in Other States, is Belief.
Constitution Amended i'm
Minnesota Before Tax Levy.

The decision of the Illinois supreme
court holding the gasoline tax in that
state unconstitutional, will not affect
the gasoline tax in Minnesota, it is
believed by those who have studied
the decision. Nor is it believed that
similar laws in other states will be
affected.
Gasoline taxes have been passed in
forty-siX states in the last ten years,
and are still in effect in all these
states except Illinois. The tax has
been in effect in Oregon, Colorado,
and North Dakota since 1919, and in
Kentucky since 1920. Nine more
states adopted the plan in 1921, six in
1922, sixteen in 1923, nine in 1925.
and two in 1927. These laws have
been attacked in the courts in several
states, but Illinois is the first state in
which such law has been held I'M
constitutional.
In Minnesota the gasoline tax was
not adopted until the constitution had
been amended, specifically permitting
the levy and providing that it should
go into the trunk highway fund
There was no specific authorization
for the tax in the Illinois constitu-
ton. Many urged passing a gas tax
law in Minnesota without amending
the constitution. Lawyers held that
it could be done, but that the money
would not have gone into the trunk
highway fund.
Chicago motorists fought the gas
tax first in the legislature and later
in the courts. Constituting nearly
half of the car owners of the state,
they held it discriminatory because
the tax all went to highways outside
the city. In Minnesota the gas tax
as we'll as the auto license taxes, go
entirely to highways outside the three
cities of the first class, but this is
specifically authorized by the amend
ments to the constitution. The trunk
highways get all the through traffic
and are used by practically all the
car owners in the state.

WILLOW RIVER BEATS
CARLTON IN TOURNEY
The Score Was II to Is and the

Enters Semi-Finals But Lost to
Morgan Park, 30 to -.

Willow River scores again in bas-
ketball.
In a closely fought game in the
Eighth district basketball tournament
at the Duluth Armory Friday night,
the Willow River high school team
defeated the Carlton high school Quint
by q 21-to-1S score.
On Saturday the Willow River ag-
gregation met Morgan Park in the
second game of the morning round.
This game did not turn out so good
for the Pine county team, but never
theless they were up and going and
were given credit for outsmarting
their well trained opponents in floor
work. The game ended 80 to 13.
Morgan Park won the next game also
which was the final game of the tour
nament and was played with the Du-
luth Central high. The score was
10 to II. Willow River, a new team
in the Eighth district this season,
thus had the honor of playing in the
semi-tinals and with the team that
secured the championship.

change for votes on agricultural
measures. Yet, everybody realizes
that a Presidential veto is inevitable
if ''pork-barrel' bills are carried in
flood relief legislation.
The Senate Committee on Irrigation
has been a battle ground for several
weeks. The question of Boulder Dam
bills has been considered and the
committee is split over amendments.
The interests of seven western states
in power and irrigation matters are
involved with resulting confusion.
The revelations before a Senate in
vestigating committee as to contri-
buttons of oil producers and others to
campaign funds are not calculated to
help political leaders on the eve of
an expensive year. For years, it has
been an easy matter to cloak cOntri-
buttons of large interests, but of late
Investigations have disclosed them
with considerable embarrassment to
interested parties. 1t is not custom
airy to make direct solicitation until
the nominating conventions have con-
cluded their labors and money is re-
qdired by the major parties.
Advocates of tariff legislation have
abandoned hope for this session. The
passage of the McMaster resolution
in the Senate calling for changes in
tariff policies especially affecting
agriculture is regarded as gesture.
The subject is not popular at this
time and little attention has been
given to the proposed changes by the
House. 1t was expected that the
flexible provision so prominently
featured in the last tariff act would
solve practically all difficulties. In
stead, in administering the law, the
Tariff Commission has encountered
troubled waters. The law provides
that the President may proclaim a
fifty per cent increase or decrease in
duties following a report of the Com
mission. The chief problem has been
in the determination of costs particu-
larly those of foreign manufacturers
who resent an inspection of the books
by American government agents.
1odTS ago, tHlS SUBJECT Was IOTeulOSC
during Presidential campaigns, but it
has lost it's rating as a political fac
tor.
The rank and file of American vot-
ers refuse to manifest any concern
over foreign affairs. Legislators and
politicians generally cannot arouse
the public from its indifference to
these matters. During the 1920 Pres
idential campaign the League of Ma
tions and the World Court were i'm
portant partisan issues, but interest
has waned to the extent that both
parties are quite willing to drop the
discussion. There are, of course,
small organized groups who find it to
their advantages to keep up an agi-
tation, but official Washington never
takes official cognizance of these
movements. 1t is reported that an
effort will be made to commit the two
party conventions to plank dealing
with internationalism next summer.

In spite of the handicap, the Pine

the weight and experience began to
count and Saltwater forged ahead,
winning by a ten point margin.
