States Highway Upkeep
Expense Has Been Reduced
States 1880 Maintenance Bill $685.
600 Lower than 1929, Thanks
to Pavement

For the first time since the
State Of Minnesota took over the
maintenance Of the 1000 mile trunk
highway system in 1921, there has
been substantial drop in the an
nual maintenance bill, according to
figures given out by G. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways. Starting
with $2,608,537 in 1921, disbursements
Of the maintenance division grew
steadily until they reached $4,667,-
300 in 1929. In 1880 the figure was
cut to $4,164,3S9, and this total in
cluded the expense of the highway
patrol and a larger proportion Of
betterments, such as bituminous
treatments, than in the average
year.
Growth Of traffic, which was
nearly three times as great in 1890
as in 1921, has necessitated a steady
increase in upkeep cost on the un-
paved routes. Routes which were
the most expensive to maintain
were paved first, but until 1880
tain were paved first, but until 1880
this saving was more than offset
by growth of traffic on other
routes. BY 1880 however, paving of
the routes carrying much Of the
heavy traffic had reached a
point where 1t brought about an
actual reduction in maintenance
expenditures.
Other factors helped to effect the
saving. Light snow last winter cut
the cost Of snow removal Motorized
equipment has proven effective and
economical.
Bituminous treatment has reduc-
ed the need Of gravel requirements
on many routes with medium heavy
traffic. The highway patrol has
been effective in enforcing load
limitations, and this has cut the
cost Of repairing damage done by
excessive loads. Experience has also
shown that at certain times and
under certain conditions, no
amount Of maintenance work will
keep the road in good condition,
and in such cases the expenditure
Is held down to the amount which
will be effective. But the biggest
factor in cutting maintenance costs
is the fact that a number Of the
routes carrying the heaviest traffic
have been paved. If these routes
were not paved, there would have
been large increase instead Of a
decrease.
While a half million saved in
maintenance is substantial item, it
Is but a fraction Of the savings
which paving brings to road users,
according to Mr.. Babcock. On a
route carrying 1000 or more vehi-
cles per day, the saving in gasoline,
tire wear, repairs and car depre-
probation will pay the entire cost
Of the paving in three years while
on any route earring 500 vehicles
per day, it will pay the interest on
the investment plus a liberal al
lowance for depreciation.

STORE ROBBED

Thursday night, Of last week,
burglars entered the s. p. Hansen
Grocery store. Entrance was made
through a rear window, by breaking
the glass.
Upon investigation 1t was found
that only a few boxes Of candy had
been taken. This led authorities to
believe that the job was committed
by youths Of tender age. Up to
the present time no clue Of the
perpetrators has been found.

SCHILLINC EXPLAINS
WORK OF BOARD
Mortified Farmer Member
Says Farm Act Is Not
Complicated
COOPERATION NEEDED
Dairy Industry Is Quite Gen
orally Supporting the Act
Through Organization
BY w. f. Schilling Member, Fed
eral Farm Board

BY w. #. Schilling Member, Fed
eral Farm Board
AS there seems to be considerable
misunderstanding as to the intents
and purposes Of the Federal Farm
Board in administering~the Argicul-
ture Marketing Act passed by the
list Congress, want to take this
opportunity to try in my humble
way to explain the same.
There is not one complicated
thing about the Agricultural Mar
keting Act. IF the farmer believes
in cooperating, with his neighbor in
going to the creamery he is an en-
dorser of Farm Board policies and
program. IF he is a "go-it-alone,"
he Is against the work Of the Farm
Board. If the local creamery does
not affiliate within others Of It's
kind in controlling and marketing
products Of the farmers. then some
thing Is surely wrong, for how do
farmers expect to do business in
small local units competing with
each other when all other profess
sionk businesses and industries
are forming gigantic organizations
and controlling not only the pro-
ducts of their own effort but others
as well.
An officer Of one of the most
complete local dairy monopolies in
the country recently said, The pub
lie is opposed to monopolies." This
individual was like the ostrich that
had his head in the sand and
thought no one could see him. A
good smoke screen, but yet every
day we read in the paperssof more
bank consultations, more railroad
consultations and the latest Is a
two billion dollar steel merger. If
it takes as long for a monopoly to
be made Of farm organizations as it
does for some Of them to get to-
gether, the public will not get un-
duly alarmed
Two years ago while was presi-
dent Of the Twin City Milk Produc-
ers Association that organization,
in CONJUNCTION with Land o. Lakes
and the Central Livestock Shipping
Association, issued well-gotten-up
pamphlet by the thousands as an
answer to private-interest merger
then being circulated against large
scale cooperative marketing associ-
ations by farms. Paragraphs from
this follow:
Surely it Is not more improp-
er for Congress, State legisla-
lures and federal departments
to spend time and money in de-
vedoping system Of market
ing, which will prevent specu-
1ators and others who fix the
price Of the selling producer
and the final consumer through
combinations and other ar
rangements, and thereby secure
a grossly inadequate price for
the producer-"so much so was
that the case that the intermed-
late handles between the pro-
Queer and the final consumer
injuriously operated upon both
classes and fattened and flour
ished at their expense"-than to
spend time and money in far
greater amounts in protecting
other industries Of this coun-
try.
