Christmas Gift Gun Fatal
to Little Falls Youth
Boy Killed While Hunting Within
Three Hours After Belated
Present Arrives

Little Falls, Dec. 29-Three
hours after he. had received r.
gauge shotgun as a belated Christ
mas gift, Fred Irwin, IA year old
son of Joseph Irwin, of Minneapo-
lis was dead, the victim of an &C
cidental shooting with the same
gun. The gun, a gift from his
grand mother with whom he and a
brother and sister lived, was deliv-
cred to the boy shortly after 2 p.
m. Thursday by a local hardware
store which had ordered the wea-
pom earlier but had not received it
in time to make delivery before
Christmas.
Young Irwin and a companion,
Jerry Dage, about the same age,
and the latter's mother went hunt
ing near Little Falls, returning at
A p. m. The two boys then took
the gun to the Dage boys room in
local hotel.
Ten minutes later a shot was
heard, and Dage ran into the hall
where he met hotel employee hur-
rying to the room.
The Dage boy at first said his
friend had been holding the gun be-
tween his knees with the muzzle
pointed at his chest and that the
weapon was accidentally discharged
when in this position. Later, how
ever, he changed his story of the
tragedy and said that the gun was
fired accidentally when he handed
it, muzzle first, to Irwin.
Local authorities attempted to
notify the boys father in Mime
apolis, but were told that he had
gone to Florida, and he had not
been reached early this morning.
Mrs. Irwin died several years
ago, and the children had been
staying with their grandmother
here.
A coroner's jury conducted an
inquest at once, and returned a
verdict of accidental death.

farming. Science, discovery and
invention have all contributed their
part to make agriculture an indus
try as complex in its development
and management as they have for
any other industry. This, said Mr..
Lee, calls for the same study,
thought and planning in the farm
business as in any other compli-
Gated industry. The man who
thinks he can farm today as his
father farrned is due for a big sur
prise. Mr.. Lee praised the de-
velopment of agricultural educa-
ton and urged the farm boys and

Road Expenses are Not a
Tax; Part Of Auto Upkeep
Improved Highways Materially Re.
duce Operating Costs-Bonds
Will Be Real Economy

Almost every day we hear some
one discussing his auto license or
other road taxes as if they were a
part of the regular expenses of the
government.
There is vast difference be-
tween road building and the ordi-
nary duties of state and local gov
ernments. The latter, though inn
portant, are often of a negative
value. We get no direct money
return from taking care of the
poor and the unfortunate from
policing our streets, maintaining
fire departments, building jails and
prisons and a multitude of other
public functions. Even education
cannot be measured in monetary
return. We tax rich and poor in
proportion to their means, SO that
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1929-01-03

children of all classes may have the
same educational opportunities
We do these things from sense of
duty and for the general welfare.
Road taxes bring us a direct re-
turn. VIE are assessed for street
improvements in proportion to the
benefits" Good roads enhance
farm values, and there will al
ways be justification for a prop
erty tax for local roads. But TAX
ing it all in all, our road tax, wheth-
er it be a property tax, license tax
or gas tax, is essentially a part
OF our transportation bill and moth
ing else.
A statistician has figured out
that the average car costs its own
er dollar day. This 1865 a
year includes his gas and auto tax,
which in Minnesota averages $685.
81 per car, (less than in most
states.) The man with a big car
pays a bigger license tax, the man
who drives lot pays more gas
tax than the average. The man who
has no car pays nothing.
The person who pays 1866 for
his car upkeep this year, may think
it SIS is added to his gas or auto
tax, his total most in 1929 will be
$3.50. He is wrong. Every old
time driver will tell you that his
annual car cost IN 1910 and 1915
and 1920 when there was no gas
tax and nominal license fee, was
much bigger than in 1928. That
is, unless he drives a bigger car
or goes much farther, for certain
ly the cost per mile is much less.
Good roads have cut the cost. An
other SIS increase in the tax would
cut the annual car cost SIS or
$25 instead of increasing it.
Some also fear that bonds will
increase taxes. There is not the
slightest possibility that state high
way bonds will increase taxes in
Minnesota. Sinking fund and in
terest on highway bonds have first
claim on the annual license receipts
and the receipts now are big
enough to take care of bond issue
SIX or eight times as great as the
