chine.
AS to the legal side of the ques-
ton, the bulletin points out that
farmers have the right at all
times to drive animals on or across
the highways. When animals law
fully on the highways are hit by
motor vehicles, the owner may sue
the driver or owner of the machine
for damages. But if animals wan
dering unlawfully on the road are
injured, the owner instead of hav-
ing claim for damages, may be
sued for damages to the machines
and its occupants.
Strictly speaking, no one has a
legal right to permit live stock to
Craze or feed on the highway right
OF way. Road officials, however,
usually do not object to grazing
along the roadsides if the animals
are attended so they will not inter-
fere with traffic.
Occasionally reports are received
that hogs damage roadsides and
bitches. The owner is subject to
punishment under the section of
the highway act which makes it a
misdemeanor to dig holes in pub
lie roads, remove dirt or obstruct
bitches.
While the menace of animals on
highways is greater on trunk
routes with their heavier traffic,
the need for caution applies to all
roads, and the law is the same for
state and local roads.

One striking illustration of successful compete
ton by Amercanmade equipment is seen in increas-
ing exports to Germany, where marked rise in the
purchasing power of the average family has been
experienced of late. According to report recently
made to the Department of Commerce by Sias H.
Altorfer, manufacturer, his company alone has ap-
pointed twelve leading German jobbers as dstribu-
tors of its product within a few months, while an
expansion of foreign trade is likewise noted by man
ufacturers in other lines.
American household equipment has also gained
high favor among the women of Poland, Rumania,
Austria Czechoslovakia and other countries of CEN
trail Europe, which gradually recovering from
the disastrous effects of the World War.
With the further rehabilitation of these countries
in prospect reasonable expect steady growth
in their demand for high-class American-made
goods, which will add materially to our exports and
effect corresponding increase in factory pay

Improved Highways Aid
Dairy Industry Of State
Speeding Up Marketing Has Rev.
OlutiOnized ProductiOn-All Sea-
son Trunk Lines

Improved highway transporta-
ton has played an important part
in the rapid progress of dairying
in Minnesota. It is even suggested
by many that the industry has been
revolutionized because of it.
The time is not long past when
the territory served by the average
| small creamery was restricted to
the area Immediately adjacent be-
cause of the difficulty encountered
in marketing milk and cream with
horse-drawn vehicles over poor
roads.
Infrequent delivery of milk and
cream was caused by the incon-
vcnience due to poor roads. This
practice resulted in comparatively
high costs. Quality of production
was penalized because of the lack
of freshness in the raw material
This has all been changed.
The advent Of the automobile
brought about demand for i'm.
proved roads which now persists
more strongly than ever not only
in cities and towns but in rural
| sections as well. Secondary roads
are recognized as necessary and
valuable adjuncts of the trunk
highways and improvements are
being demanded accordingly.
Daily delivery of milk and cream
is made possible by motor trans
portation over good highways. In
creased production has caused the
small rural creamery of yesterday
to be replaced by modern struc-
lures designed for greater capacity
and equipped with efficient ma
chinery. The Land O'Lakes or
ganization which in 1928 handled
more than $5O,OOO,OOO worth of
dairy and poultry products is an
example of the rapid growth and

tation and adequate highways to
the dairy industry.

REACH AGREEMENT
BANK TAXATION
National Laws to be Amend.
ed to Care for Minnesota
and Other States
GEO SULLIVAN REPORTS
Declares Terms Covering Sit.
uatiOn in Minnesota Have
Been Reached

A tentative agreement to amend
the national banking act, which
will make possible reenactment of
banks, held invalid by the U. S.
supreme court in March, 1927. has
been reached between representa-
tives of the bankers and the asso-
citation of states on bank taxation,
it was announced Saturday, by
George H. Sullivan, Saltwater.
Senator Sullivan made the an
nouncement in a telegram to STATE
officials from Saranac Inn, N. Y,
where he attended the National
Tax Conference, representing the
association of states on bank tax
alton, of which he is president.
His announcement is of far-reach-
ing Importance to Minnesota and
more than thirty other states,
which have been unable to tax ma
tional banks under their old sys-
tenn as result of the United States
supreme court decision. Minneso-
ia has not re-enacted new laws
pending federal legislation amend
ing the national bankers under a
"Gentlemen's agreement" between
bankers of the state and legislar-
ors, first drawn in 1927 and re-
peated once more at the last SEES
sion
The high court has ruled that un-
der the provision of section 5219,
federal statutes, national banks
cannot be taxed at higher rate
than moneyed capital coming in
competition with national banks.
Since the decisions were rendered,
several unsuccessful attempts have
been made to have congress amend
the section so that national banks
might be taxed at the same rate
that is applied to state banks.
In the case of Minnesota, a bar
rier to re-enacting the laws was the
existance of the mortgage registry
tax, which is lower rate than was
applicable to national bank stocks
under the old act held inapplicable
by the high court. Minnesota could
re-enact its old laws if it repealed
its taxes on mortgage, monies and
credits and on other forms of cap
ital, which are construed 20 b. in
competition with national banks
under the courts ruling.
The association of states on bank
taxation reelected Senator Sullivan
as president. Senator Sullivan
heads legislative interim commit.
tee, authorized to seek amendment
of the national banking act by con.
gress and to frame legislation
which will place national bank tax
alton on the same basis as the tax
alton of state banks in Minnesota
