RAIN INSURANCE
FOR COUNTY FAIR

The st. Louis County Agricultural
Society, remembering the unfortun-
ate circumstances of last year, has
taken out rain insurance, for the ST.
Louis County fair at Hibbing, Septem-
Der LIST, End, Bird and 4th.
It isn't going to be necessary. The
weather-man forecasting ahead says
the weather will be ideal, and today
President L. o. Kirby and the direc-
tors of the fair hope he is right.
Rushing all work SO that the big
exposition will be ION time" when the
fair opens September LIST, President
Kirby today expresses the opinion that
the fair should be the banner exposi-
ton of the twenty or more held In
Hibbing.
1--WE are offering the attractions,
the buildings and exhibits. 1t Is now
up to the people of the range to
patronize the fair and have their
friends do the same thing" stated
President Kirby today.
The fair this year offers seven high
class attractions, featuring the famous
Ernie Young Revue, and the Duffield
fireworks. The racing matinees are
the best in the history of the fair. The
track is in good condition "Conces-
sion Row" on the fair grounds will
be city in itself. This year the fair
board has made elaborate plans for
illumination at night and the EXPOSE
ton grounds will be fairyland Ad-
ditional bus service between Eastern
and Western range towns to the fair
grounds has been provided, while the
local Mesaba Trans Co. will offer
added service, buses running at fire.

Ample police protection will be af-

men.
The Secretary's office at the fail

at all times to listen to complaints
and suggestions. Fair officers, direct

to for any information those attend

ment, 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 $4,000, 000-go
into the trunk highway fund along
with the motor vehicle taxes and fed
eral aid fund are used to improve the
trunk highways. Much paving and
gravelling has been done on the trunk
highways. Motorists spin merrily
along over paving or some kind of
hard surfacing on $500 miles of this
system.
The Voice From the Country.
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 high
way system has gone on rapidly, they
have had to keep on wrestling with
bad roads, roads that were impassa-
BILE for weeks in the spring or at best
roads that were Only partly improved
I'VE pay motor vehicle taxes" some
of the men on these secondary roads
began to argue. 1--WE pay gasoline
taxes. But the money all Is being spent
on roads that for the most part we do
not use. The roads ws 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 insistent that the
Minnesota legislature two years ago
passed by an overwhelming vote bill
providing for the submission of an
amendment to the state constitution
to make possible a diversion of part Of
the gasoline tax to the local roads.
This amendment is to be submitted to
the voters at the November election.
Provisions of Amendment 1.
The amendment provides that q
third of the proceeds of the gasoline
tax shall be placed in the state road
and bridge fund and two-third in the
state trunk highway fund. The road
and bridge fund is distributed among
the counties, no county to receive less
than one-half Of one per cent nor
more than three per cent of the fund.
So third of the gasoline tax receipts
would be distributed.
Approval of the measure In the
country districts is quite general when
1t is explained, Senator Johnson said.
But many do not know what the
amendment does or realize it's import
ance to their local community. AS a
result, he said. systematic campaign
will be carried on until election time
to get out favorable vote in Novem-
Der. A big vote in the country Is es-
sential, for the three large cities, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. are ex-
pected to oppose the amendment.
Members of the executive committee
in charge of the amendment campaign
include Senator Johnson, Representa-
tive o. A. Swenson, Nicollet; Andrew
Finstuen, Kenyon; Ole Langhaugh,
Evansville. Senator liver j. Lee, Glen
wood, and Harrison Hatton, Ramsey

these there were no lakes frequented
by ducks but in order to get to the
duck ponds 1t was necessary to pass
through the reserve and this laid the
hunter open to suspicion when found
on the reserve with ducks and q gun
even though he was only passing
through.
Commissioner Mccullough listened
attentively to the arguments offered
and left here with the intention of
taking the matter under consideration
at once In order to get at the crux of
the matter before the season on ducks
was opened. If the townships are
opened there will be considerable duck

section and also In other northern nor

and their effect upon the negro.
A preliminary survey of the eco
nomic situation of the negro siti-
zen in the community was made.
W. D. Nixon presented a chart
TO the representatives in support
of statements. He said there were
s5S white firemen in the District
and il colored firemen. Nixon said
that the percentage of coIored popu-
lation warranted 233 eoIored en-
ployes in the fire department.
Salaries OF white firemen, placed
at $1,771,9 1913, were compared with
the total Of the colored firemen,
S3s.752. He said the percentage
warranted s452, 900 as the more
likely figure.
Nixon said that there We're but
il firemen in 1913 and in 1928 the
same number was still there. He
said that in that time more than
280 white firemen had been ap-
pointed
In the police department, he said
there were 1876 white employees, as
against As coIored.
Charles NJ. Thomas delivered a

called this one OF the weakest

He lauded the principles they

they failed at the time they sue

his last struggle-the freedom of

SEE LUMP sum
PLAN CHANGE

There is q slight chance that the
80 900, 900 lump-sum plan of appor-
tioning the expenditures of the
Federal and local governments may
be modified in the pending District
appropriation bill.
This chance is based upon the
fact that the report of the Bureau
of Efficiency on District fiscal
relations will be in the hands Of
the House Appropriations subcom-
mittee before the District bill Is re-
ported out.
According to Herbert D. Brown,
chief of the bureau, the long.
awaited report will be ready next
week. No inkling as to its contents
is forthcoming now.
May Favor Change
The general expectation is that
1t will recommend substantial
changes in the present lump sum
appropria ton system.
House leaders, such az Represen-
tative Cramton of Michigan and
Simmons of Nebraska, are confident
the report win sustain their conten-
ton in favor of the continuance of
the $9,000,0 900 lump,sum plan.
Even if 1t should not, there is no
assurance that the House will ac-
cept a proposal for modification.
The House group which controls
District destinies in that body mas
assumed a. czar-like attitude. with
respect to local appropriation in re-
cent years, refusing even to discuss
compromise or modification with the
Senate Appropriations subcommlt-
tee, of which Senator Lawrence G.
Phipps was chairman until he re.
signed in encouragement over the
hopelessness of his fight with the
House for the restoration OF the
6O.4O plan .
