While Congress monopolizes the spotlight, good deal of quiet but highly important politics is stirring elsewhere.
 The stop Roosevelt movement among the Democrats shows such evidence of real effort that Gov. Roosevelt's supporters may be ex- pected to organize shortly on a na- tional basis, and formally launch his candidacy for President They count his chances best by far, but they realize now that the nomina- tion won't go to him by default.

OLD TIMER SHOWS YOUNGER JOCKEYS
 TRICKS OF TRADE

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.-Out at Jefferson Park, an old-timer is showing a younger generation of jockeys how it is done.
 It is Eddie Martin, still riding winners at A after more than 30 years on American tracks.
 He came down in front by a whisker the other day in the most spectacular finish of the season as four thoroughbredS stretched their necks to pass the striped pole first
 Martins mount was Forget Not and the old-timer seized the op- portunity to show his younger rivals a thing or two. He had started easily, taking the pace set by Halliard, but the last sixteenth found Forget Not, Halliard, Dry Dock and My Inver on such even terms that it looked like an un- heard of four-way dead heat from the judges stand.
 But Martin had saved something and his final lunge at the wire won the race.
 Dick Leigh, assistant secretary and placing judge at Jefferson re- called after the race that it was the same Eddie Martin who won a match race against him in Colo rado back in 1900.
 When an old man like that beats you, it's time to hang up your boots, one of the kids in the race remarked.
 At which Eddie smiled and re- joined: If I couldn't ride any better than you boys do I'd have hung LID mine long ago.

 All that can be said with assur- ance about the Democratic situa- ton is that considerable number of party stalwarts are determined the nomination shall not be fore closed, months in advance, in favor of anyone.
 The idea is that if the question can be kept open right up to the convention, the party can make its choice on the basis of conditions at that moment.

The American Automobile ASsocia-

license tax in Minnesota in 1880 was
STATS and the average gas tax $13.53
making a total of $28.28 for the two
combined In the 48 states the aver
age license and gas tax was $33 This
shows the Minnesota average $4.72 less
than the tax paid in the average state
In Minnesota the license and gas tax
are in lieu of all other taxes, while in

the license and gas tax.

column that "this in lieu Of prattle

that there was no case on record where
the 'in lieu of measures had been
lived up to and that all taxes stuck
no matter for what imposed. We take
it all back. The report of the Automo-

wrong and we hasten to make amends

Many cities also charge local privil

cago, for instance, the city license is
as high as the state tax. 1t is estima-
ted that car owners in other states pay

more than car owners in Minnesota
The license and gas tax in this state
is solely used for road building and
upkeep. Chief Oil Inspector Nilsson
states that the 1880 auto license fees

Delegate WickerSham is interest ed in establishing new air mail route between the United States and Asia, which seems perfectly feasible since the Lindberghs and Post and Gatty blazed the trails in their recent successful flights. A bill for establishing a route to join the two continents by air mail may be introduced by the Dele gate in the next congress, with the expectation of having these cele- brated flyers appear before Con- 1 gressional committees to outline l their experiences in Asiatic flying A recent issue of one of the Wash ington afternoon newspapers, re- ferring to the proposed effort of the Alaska Delegate to Congress to have new air mail service esta- b,ish.0 quoted him at some length, Ind among other things said:
 "The air route is not as hazar- eous as many believe; certainly it is not as hazardous as flight ac- ross the North Atlantic Ocean. The great circle route from Europe to Asia cuts right through Alaska. It is easy to reach Alaska and flying already is firmly and safely estab- lished there.
 If Boring Strait is crossed at Wales, northwest of Nome, there is an ocean flight of but 56 miles on the entire aerial journey to Asia and Europe There are several routes through Asia. While Lind bergh could have flown entirely above land he hopped from Nome to Cape Navarin, and then skirted the Siberian coast.
 "A direct route, which involved much ocean flying, also was taken by Post and Gatty. In Asia the route could follow the Siberian railroad into northern and central Europe, or it might cut through the Kuerile Island to Japan"
