VETERAN WATCF1MAN, FORCED
TO QUIT WORK, KILLS HIMSELF
George W. CutshaII Ends
Life With Pistol at
Greenhouses.
Retired Canal Boat Captain
Had Been Employed on
Same Job 80 Years.

A tired old man escaped from the in
finite loneliness of discarded age with a
pistol shot behind the Department of
Agriculture greenhouses today.
For 80 years George w. Cutshall, re-
tired canal boat captain and former
soldier, had been a laborer and watch
man in those greenhouses. In the
whitening of years his world shriveled to
the routine Of his simple tasks among
the chrysanthemums, the poisoning
cacti and the roses. These, with the
familiar faces of other greenhouse en-
ployes, became all his creation outside
the inward turning of his own thoughts.

scanning the report. THE reports sug-
geStions will intensity the work 1t

in relation to enforcement, and 1t
should, likewise, challenge dry organi-
cations to intensity their work so that
public officials will live up to their oaths

the prohibition law.
THE report seems to be practically
in our favor, since only two members
recommend repeal of the eighteenth
amendment"
The national superintendent urged
that If appropriations for enforcement
work are increased, as suggested by the
commission, large part OF the increase
be spent for educational work.

RUSSIAN PRESS
DENOUNCES FISH
Brands Report "Skyscraper
of InsoIenCe" and "Impudent
and Ridiculous"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, January 20-The Soviet
press today turned shafts of ridicule
against the American Representative,
Hamilton Fish, jr., in long editorials
denouncing his recent report to the
Congress of the United States on his
investigation of Communist activities in
that country.
The newspaper Izvestia calls the re-
port "skyscraper of insolence," and
the newspaper Pravda says Of it: "Of
all anti-Soviet documents in the recent
past the Fish report is the most impu-
dent insolent and ridiculous. It is 80
pages of absurdity based on forged docu-
mentS."
Fright of Bourgeoisie."
The report, says Izvestia. indicates the
fright of the bourgeoisie" that the
Soviet Republic may succeed in its
industrializa ton plan and that if Amer
lean economists do not deny its charges
1t will indicate that fear is making
the American people blind"
Development of Soviet industry" the
newspaper says, should make for better
economic relations between the United
States and the Soviet Union. If Amer
lean capitalists think otherwise we shall
find other countries which will regard
Soviet purchases from a business view
point. There can be no imports with
out exports, and we can't believe that
the United States, the worlds most
capitalistic country, should be afraid of
the growth of Socialism in Soviet Rus
STA, against which Fish and his COM
mittee are bowling. If it is afraid it
indicates that the breakdown of CAPT.
talism in the United States is closer
than the most optimistic ever dreamed"
Deny Dumping" Charges.
The newspaper, in denying charges
of dumping in American markets,
asserted that Russia still imports more
than she exports. 1t declares that the
charges of the Fish report are prANara-
ton for economic embargo against Rus
sian goods.
when he asks an investigation of
the Soviet timber industry" the edito-
rial continues, I'VE can tell him to take
his feet off the table because he is not
at home. We are accustomed to insults
from the United States, but we never
expected such insolence as this demand
that America withhold recognition from
Soviet Russia and at the same time
investigate economic conditions in the
Soviet Union"

construction, they agreed that his ser
vices had been worth $500 and that

ISSUE SUFFICIENT
WILL ADVANCE PROGRAM so
CURRENT FUNDS WILL COVER
FUTURE NEEDS, BABCOCK SAYS.

A bond issue of $4,000, 900, plus
current funds, will enable the Mime
sofa Highway department to pave 825
miles and grade l,258 miles IN the next
two years, and put the construction far
enough ahead so that it VIII not be
necessary to ask for another bond issue,
COMMISSIONS c. NJ Babcock told the
County Commissioners of Minnesota at
their annual convention in St. Paul
last week The bond issue would also
be tremendous help in relieving UNI
employment in all sections of the
state, Mr.. Babcock said, and this would
be accomplished without increasing
taxes one cent
If this program can be carried
through. there VIII be $3.50 miles Of
trunk highways paved and $500 miles
built to permanent grade at the emo
Of 1882. This win leave only 100
miles to be graded, and viii enable the
department to devote larger share
Of its funds to paving and build a
large mileage each year from current
funds, Mr.. Babcock said,
There are twenty-five states which
have more paving than Minnesota, he
pointed out In every case bond issues

have been used, either state or county.
As additional reasons why some states
have paved more miles than Minnesota.
he pointed out that In Minnesota the
state maintained the entire 1000 mile
system from the start, while in many
states the highway department does
little or no maintenance until the
highway is constructed; that in many
states the counties must furnish the
right while in Minnesota this
is paid from the trunk highway fund;
also that in Minnesota the state builds
the trunk highway through all munich
palities except cities of the first class,
while in many states this cost must be
borne by the municipalities.
Failure to make the trunk highways
adequate TO traffic needs viii throw
constantly increasing burden of traffic
on the county roads. Mr.. Babcock told
the commissioners, while speeding up
the trunk highway construction win
relieve the county roads Of much OF
this traffic and lessen the maintenance
cost of the county roads. 1t viii also
hasten the day when rs per cent Of
the trunk highway system is ade-
quately improved, so that additional
routes can be added to the system, and
the counties relieved OF the expense
of maintaining roads which carry a
large proportion Of through traffic.

EIGHTY COUNTIES
STATE AUDITORS REPORT SLOWS
THAT SEVEN COUNTIES OF THE
STATE PAY IN MORE THAN

Eighty Of Minnesotas 81 counties
received more from the state in various
forms of aids raised by taxation than
they paid in taxes to the state during

His study showed seven counties,
Hennepin, Ramsey, ST. Louis, Brown,
Murray, Mobiles, and Sibley, con-
tributed sums in excess of that re-
turned to them st. Louis, because Of
taxes on iron ores, showed the largest
sum paid over that received, 81 ,010,618.
This compares with s907, 353.57 by
Hennepin; s453,773 by Ramsey; S8,293
by Brown; Sc, $50 by Murray; 1864 by
Mobiles, and s2,015 by Sibley, paid in
excess of that received. Beltrani re-
ceived the most over the amount con-
tributed in taxes, s242,274. Eighteen
other counties received 100000 or
more over the sums paid.
Sums paid out by the state included
the following purposes: Appropriation
from the general school fund; one
third of the state gasoline tax; dis
tribution of the state road and bridge
fund; state aid to schools; federal aid
to schools distributed by the state;
