ESOT AS 1892
POLITICAL LOOKOUT
BY HENRY G.. TEIGAN

Minnesota Republican politicians
are visibly disturbed by the political
outlook for 1892.
Several things are responsible for
this rather pessimistic viewpoint. The
most important is. of course, the un-
favorable economic conditions that
prevail throughout the state. Farm
ers, workers and business people are
all dissatisfied and demand a change
in national and state governments in
order to bring about improvement in
these conditions.
But while the economic factor is
the most important one, there are
others too that make themselves felt.
The immense popularity of Cover
nor Floyd B. Olson is a thing that
is in iteslf highly disturbing to the
G. o. P. 1t is correct to state that
not since John A. Johnson was gov
ernor of Minnesota has the head of
the state government enjoyed such
immense popularity at the end of the
first legislative session during his in
cumbency as that enjoyed by Governor
Olson.
Internal Squabble Bad.
Then, too, the internal warfare
which has been going on in the Re-
publican party of Minnesota for the
past several years and which culmi-
mated in bitter struggle year ago,
is not eliminated. This condition will
count for much in next years cam
paign.
A. w. Lindberg, Treasurer of the Re-
publican State Central committee, re-
Gently announced that the Minnesota
Republican State central committee
is planning to draft gubernatorial
candidate as standard-bearer of the
party for the 1882 election. The fact
that drafting will have to be resorted
to indicates that the party does not
see much success ahead at best, and
that perhaps some fellow will have to

of the fact that unemployment has
reached into every industrial nation

!. FEATURES -
Survey Gives List That Every
Motorist Should Understand
and Give Marked Attention

There are 10 features Of the
modern automobile which con
tribute more than all others to
the safety or danger of ordinary
motoring.
When the motorist buys his
new car he will find some Of
these features already supplied
by the makers,
According to W. T. Palmer, who
Is conducting a nationwide survey
of the automobile accident situa-
ton, the 10 features are:
/. Brakes-The entire safety of
the car is measured by their eff
cheney; brakes should be inspected
at regular intervals and refined
when worn.
2. Steering gear-MuSt never
fail: should be inspected by ex
perts often.
3. TireS-Blououts are danger.
Gus; care in driving, maintaining
pressure and filling cuts will tend
to prevent them from blowing
out.
4. WheelS-Safety depends on
their structural strength and con-
dition; tighten frequently and
keep in alignment.
5. Burnpers-MuSt be sturdy
enough to absorb heavy shocks;
tighten and straighten when nee
eSsary.
s. Body-Should have strong
framing and preferably be of steel
construction; tighten joints and
bolts attaching body to chassis.
7. Front axle-Sturdiness is es-
sential to prevent breakdowns
and minimize collision damage.
Results, bad if weak axle gives
way.
8. Carburetor - Must be fire
proof. away from electrical units
fer safety.
9. GlaSs-Should be nonshatter-
able.
10. Sedan tops-Should have

clearance over passengers heads.

HIGHWAY ENGINEER UNABLE
 TO CARRY OUT ROAD PLANS
Anchorage Times-)

There are not any funds available now for starting on the Anchorage Eklutna highway project. which was . authorized by the late Legislature, and the outlook for next year is not :anf too encouraging. This is the in- formation given to the Times today by Vim. A. Hesse, Territorial high way engineer, who arrived from Ju- lneau yesterday and left for the In- tterior this afternoon. He is going down the Yukon river to arrange for lthe taking over of telephone line which has been operated under pro test by the Alaska Road Commission. Were it not for the Yukon river job, MT. Hesse says, he would turn back from here, because of the unfavorable treasury situation.
 The Territorial treasury had a bad , enough appearance when MT. Hesse left Juneau, and since reaching the lrau belt he has been informed that there will be need of further cur ttailnlent of expenditure of $20,000 be- eoause of shrinking revenues. That Knocks out what little hope there Inreviously was for limited highway : building.
 There must be q cut somewhere MT. Hesse says, and postponement of road work seems the easiest way out of the difficulty The revenue shrink age even threatens school appropria- ttions.
 This situation, 1t is stated, is the result of the failure of the late Leg. islature to provide for additional sources of income. Almost whole de- pendence was placed on the fisheries tax income, and that source of reve' lnue is falling down to greater ex tent than was anticipated by the law makers, leaving Territorial institu

tions and public works in a precari- ous position.
 The situation is proving very em- barassing to Mir. Hesse for the reason that there are no funds available with which to carry on the wor,: he was elected to supervise. And in some localities :here seems te he a disposition to blame him because work authorized by the Legislature is not now heing carried on.
