DANCY AGAINST

with reference TO the handling Of
the bond transactions Of the county
Judge Oscar Dancy today offered
the following explanation TO the
public:

that we would not be able to even

Hopes High
Nov that the fifth million has
been issued and approved and we
have high hopes Of ironing out diff
ficulties so that the sixth will be
soon issued. I not only am not ad-
vocating such time warrants, but
would be opposed 70 such issuance.
The fifth million has not been
sold, but we have entered into an
agency contract with broker In San

To Go Slow
1--WE also have agreed that the
sixth million is not to be sold prior
10 Aug. /. 1880. but there IS no
option on the sixth million. AS the
market is recovering so slowly, !
very much fear that the option on
the fifth million will not be exer-
cised. It Is my opinion. gathered
from exhaustive investigation. that
ninety-five cents now will buy
much more road work than 100
cents will within just a few months.
For S4,933, 10000 in bonds and
100000 in warrants, we have 1879

How to Reduce Risk of Skidding

There are many little tricks of
driving which men in my position
run across and which we like to
pass on every time we get the op-
portunity," says Mr.. Robert Weir,
Jr., local branch manager of the
Sun Oil Company. "On of the big
gest threats continually hanging
over the driver is the risk Of skid
ding" went on Mr.. Weir. And
from my own experience as well as
from conversations with veteran
drivers, I have found that the risk
of a bad skid is considerably les
sened by putting on the brake
with the engine in gear. This
greatly tends to reduce skidding or
swerving in the event that the
brakes are out of adjustment.

Raw p. Chase and "YOur Taxes"

n AY P. CHASE, State Auditor of Minnesota, will
X talk about taxes over radio station WCCO from
7:15 to 1880 p M, Monday, June 2. His sub
ject will be ''Your Taxes"
Mr.. Chase is recognized throughout the United
States as of the outstanding tax experts of the
country. His talk next Monday evening will be part
culary timely because that day the penalty will
go into effect unpaid real property taxes.
The immediate occasion for this radio address is
that the State Auditor has just completed his fourth
book about taxes. 1t has been in of prepara
ton for the last year, has required vast amount of
works, contains analysis of the tax payments for
1919 and 1929 made by than 500 representative
and women of Minnesota, and will be released to
the public as long the supply lasts, on June 3.
Reduction of taxes, equalization of the tax burden
elimination of unnecessary expenditures, and sane
economy are vital needs in this and every state Mr.
Chase demonstrates his ideas without argument by
merely presenting facts The facts themselves
educational as they are conclusive.
Ever since 1922, when Mr.. Chase urged the advant-
ages of partial "pay you go" plan and the elm
inaton of those long term bond issues where the in
terest charges equal exceed the principal, thus
doubling the tax burden the efficient, vgilant and
Woodworking State Auditor has been informing the
people of Minnesota regarding their taxes.
That his ideas are not only interesting but also
of value is evidenced by the fact that they have been
sought throughout the country. That they sound
is proven by the fact that they have been adopted by
the legislature of Minnesota and enacted into statu
tory law.
No other public official in any state in the Union
has told the people about their fiscal affairs
has given out worthwhile, uncoored information
about taxes, public expenditures, and state business
generally than has Ray F. Chase. He knows his sub
ject. He is a recognized authority. For two years
h was Of of
fiscal officers chosen unanimously for that office.

Small Town Progress

wv HILE the population drift to large cities is
M continuing, their productive capacity is not in
w creasing in proportion to that of the inhabit-
ants of small towns Industrial leadership of the
country in many is being transferred to the
rural communities.
Such in brief, is the conclusion arrived at by a
leading economist after nationwide survey of in
dustria trends The underlying for the grow
ing industrial Importance of the small towns are
stated thus:
distribution of electric energy to the small
est hamlet has furnished rural communities with
abundant facilities for operating industrial plants.
The marked improvement in freight transportation as
a result of better highways, and acceleration of
railroad traffic have been other factors in the small
towns forward march in industrial Importance"
1t is also pointed out that there are many advan-
tages to in this decentralization of in
dustral operations. Lower rents, cheaper foods and
escape from city congestion will offer inducements to
small town living.
total of more than three billion dollars will be
spent public utilities construction during $780,
much of which will go toward the building up of rural
communities. This vast program will also create a
widespread demand for other types of construction,
including homes, industrial plants, banks
theaters, churches and schools.
Intelligent cooperation of small town leaders in
this new industrial movement will be of the greatest
benefit to their respective communities.

this flood began to ebb with the

no reliable predictions as to the
outcome of the election could
safely be made until the last bal
