The navy has 56 submarines and $50 airplancs. The tendency of both is toward smaller craft, making small one do manifold duties.
 The nayy's planes can serve as fighters, observation or scouting planes and as bombers.
 Two important units are the small fighting planes and the bombers. The fighters are manned by single pilot, who guides the planes and fires his machine gun while protect ing a huge bombing plane, with its crew of four, who navigate, drop bombs and defend it against attack.
 Together, the airplanes and sub- marines, one operating nearly out Of sight in the sky, the other hiding be- meath the sea, form a formida ble means of obtaining' information and striking back when danger threat ems.

NEW CITY MAY BE
 WORLDS GREATEST
Observers Foresee Unit Of 15;- 100000 People in Germany

Berlin. Aug. 1S tP) out lines of the largest city in the world are seen emerging in the Westphal- ian industrial area where closely dozen big towns all but border on each other, gradually eating up farming land as they grow. The de- yelopment of some of these mlnlng and manufacturing centers has been phenomenal and has been exceeded only by the growth of such AmerI- can cities as Detroit, Chicago or Los Angeles.
 Recklinghausen, Essen, Oberhau- sen, Remschied. Hamborn, Duisburg were small villages a hundred years ago; now they have from 100000 to 50O.00O inhabitants. This develop ment has been particularly pro- nounced in the smoke belt in the Ruhr valley between Duisburg and Bochum. along a stretch of about 20 miles long. Green land is already scarce in this region where smoke stacks line the horizon. According to statisticians, the whole region sooner or later will revolve into one industrial unit, having about 15,0O0,- 5 900 inhabitants.
 Many cities in this industrial area already have absorbed surrounding villages, whose administration, how ever has remained independent. Now, in order to make admnistra- tio.l mora efficient, the government has set up plan for simplifying the whole urban system of the industria area. Under this plan many lnde' pendent towns will be incorporated with cities with which they in fac already are united.
 Barmen Protests
 The first action of this kind vii be the merging into one of the twin town Elberfeld and Barmen. Fo decades it has taken an expert tt say where Barmen ended and Fiber field begun; yet both cities hav' clung to their independence. All at tempts at uniting them were thwart ed by the resistance of the citizen of the two towns.
 Recently however the Prussial diet voted a bill uniting Elberfel' with Barmen. This event precipitat ed a local "revolution' in Barmen It is true that no barricades wer built, nor were any windows broken but the local branch of the Catholl Centrum party which is the strong est party in Barmen passed a reso lution condemnng the deputies c the same party sitting in the die who voted for the union of the tW towns.
 . The Prussian diet decided at tn same time that the town of Ham born, a manufacturing center who's development has primarily been du to the growth of the Thyssen work shall be incorporated with Duisburi The announcement caused an ou burst of rage in Hamborn. All coa pits half masted their flags; tf Thyssen works even flew blac flag. Furthermore, the street cal of the city stopped for five minute as protest against the decision. TT electric current was turned off, ar work ceased in many workshop Crowds gathered in the streets al angry comments on the goyerl ment's plan were uttered.
 To judge by the evidence fu nished by these events. the creatt of the giant City of the Ruhr'' m; not, after all, be such an easy jt as the statisticians dreamed it wou be.

TRUCK TRAILERS
ALL MUST HAVE
LICENSE TAGS
Law Definite, Makes No Exceptions,
State Highway Department
Points Out.
LICENSE FEE TO RANGE
FROM So PER TON UP
Operating A Trailer without A
License is A Misdemeanor.
Punishment as Such.

All trailerS and Semi-trailers oper-
ated with trucks or tractors must be
licensed, according to a state High
way bulletin, which calls attention to
the law covering this class of We
hicles.
The only trailers exempt from the
license tax are small trailers of less
than 1000 pounds capacity used only
with pleasure cars on occasional
trips" The line is not definitely
drawn between regular" and cocoa
sional" use of trailers with passenger
cars.
The law relative to trailers used
with trucks or tractors is definite and
there are no exceptions. Any trailer
used with a truck, or any other motor
vehicle except a pleasure car, must
have a license, whether it is used
regularly or occasionally, and regard
less of size.
The law defines a trailer" as "any
vehicle designed for carrying proper
ty or passengers wholly on it's own
structure and for being drawn by a
motor vehicle" A "semi-trailer" is
vehicle of the trailer type so de-
signed that part of the load is car
ried by the towing vehicle.
The license fee on trailers and semi
trailers is "a per cent of the value,
the minimum fee being 50 for each
ton or fraction of ton capacity.
Reports have reached the Highway
department that numerous trailers
are being operated without licenses
in hauling timber. Operating a
trailer without license is a misde-
meaflor, and those found guilty may
be punished accordingly. There are
also the regular penalties for delayed
registration. The latter are definite
penalties which cannot be RENTED.

WASHINGTON Letter
By " NDaley

Washington January 2.-The polit-
ical experts, hostile and admiring, are
busy specializing as to the motives
which bring president-elect Hoover
to Washington in advance of his in
auguration. The advocates of a spec
ial session for farm relief state with
out hesitation that Mr. HoOver's vital
interest in their proposals is the
reason for his advance arrival, while
others interested in international af-
fairs, immigration, tariff and a multi
itude of other measures differ in their
opinions. Whatever has mOtivated
Mr.. HoOver's early return, there is
one thing ceartain, he is heading
back into a political storm. Congress
is in legislative jam, and politicians
are warning over patronage. This is
not unusual. Legislative jams are
customary in short sessions, and pat
ronage nerves are always on edge be-
fore new administration
Farm relief, the Kellogg anti-war
treaty, and the cruiser bill, undoubt-
edly will be the most controversial
issues during the remaining two
months of this session of congress.
However from present indications it
seems that more time will be con-
sumed considering whether or not Mr..
Hoover will fulfill his prediction
promise of an extra session than in
attempting to put through construct
i've legislation before March 4.
Many Senators and Representatives
from the farm districts believe that
an extra session is inevitable, be-
cause in their opinion neither the re-
vised McNary bill nor any other pend
ing measure incorporates all the Hoov-
err campaign farm pledges. 1t is
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-01-03

their contention that to attempt to
push through one of the pending farm
bills at>the close of this crowded short
session probably would result in more
piece-meal and therefore futile leg
islation. A group of congressman
from cities outside the farm area in
sist it is not mandatory that Mr.. Hoov-
er call an extra session to fulfill
his campaign pledges, because he
promised to call a special session of
congress to deal with this problem
if prior action was not taken. 1t is
their belief that the two remaining
months will afford the proponents of
farm legislation ample time for its
consideration.
The political "dopsters'' who are
always seen and heard in Washington,
are confiding to their friends that
Mr.. Hoover selected his Cabinet while
on his good will mission to South
America, and the names are all writ
ten down and ready to be read off
when he returns. However, the
seasoned politician is not concerned
over these twaddlings, for he has es-
tablished policy of ''watchful wait
ing rather than of fOretelling what
the dawn of the new administration
may bring forth.
The Federal Trade Commission is
now drafting a preliminary report re-
garding resale price maintenance,
which will be submitted to Congress
at an early date. This bill, if enacted
into law, will permit the manufact-
urer to establish the price at which
articles manufactured by him may be
sold to the consumer. The opponents
of this measure declare it to be
