Highway Snow Flows Will
Be Marked With Blue Light
Commissioner G. M. Babcock Asks
Cooperation of All Motorists
As Safety Measure

The cooperation Of motorists with
Highway crews which are clearing
the roads after snow storms, is ask
ed by G. M. Babcock, commission
er Of highways. When snow plows
are approaching, drivers of vehicles
on the highways are asked to stop
and wait at some clear spot along
the roadside. BY doing so, they
will both promote their own safety
and hasten the opening Of the road.
Cars and trucks that get In the way
of the plows often canse-serious de-
lays in opening the blocked roads.
The flying snow often obscures
the vision of the snow plow operat-
ors, and drivers of other vehicles
are taking serious chances If they
try to meet or pass the plows where
snow is drifted. All state highway
snow plowing units carry blue
lights, front and rear, in addition
to the standard headlights, red tail
lights, and special lights to illum-
mate the side wings OF the plow.

Minnesota Leader
In Game Fish Life
Minnesota Propagates More Fish
Than All Other States Put
Together

Speaking to more. than 300
sportsmen and wild life enthusi-
asts at the annual mid-winter BAN
quet and frolic of the Gopher
Camfire Club at Hutchinson
Thursday night, William D. Ste
wart, State Director of Game and
Fish, brought out the fact that
Minnesota propagates more game
fish each year than all the other
states of the Union put together.
Extensive propagation Of game
fish has been increased from year
to year, the director stated, until
this enviable position has been
reached. So.
After hearing reports from a
majority of the states," he said, I
have come to the conclusion that
we have one of the outstanding
game and fish states in the United
States. In addition to our snumer-
Gus varieties of fish, we have deer,
moose, caribou, bear, beaver, prairie
chickens, pheasants, partridges
and grouse, making Minnesota a
veritable paradise for lovers Of the
great outdoors"
Mr.. Stewart also outlined some
of the major projects now under
way in his division.
Other speakers included Sidel B.

& Fur, Stafford King, State Audi
tor, Oscar Youngdahl, Mime,

Association, a citizen organization
with associations in 72 Minnesota

ment bringing this direct relief to

Congress adopt same method and

sional appropriations bring tax
burdens that are indirect to most
citizens, there is growing realiza-

Congress Given Tax
Figures to Ponder Over
Minnesota Association Pre-
sents Petition on Opening
Day of Session

How Minnesota taxpayers are
reducing taxes through reducing
tax spending was brought to the
attention of Congress on the open
ing day of its session, December Z,
through telegraph messages from
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
ito to the presiding officials of
both the Senate and House.
The messages told of the more
than six million dollars Minnesota
taxpayers have reduced levies for
1882 and suggested to Congress
that if it wanted practical
means of reducing national taxes
that it copy the Minnesota plan
and proceed to curb it's tax spend
ing.
The messages were signed by
the officers and directors of the
State Association and y the
presidents of the II County Asso-
Citations in the state.
Stearns county did its share to
boost this real tax reducing sy-
stem. before Congress through sig
nature of Ferdinand Peters, Cold
Spring, president of the Stearns
County Taxpayers Association.
The messages were placed in the
congressional record and are thus
brought officially to the attention
Of members of both the Senate
and House. If Congress heeds the
suggestion as thus presented by
the taxpayers Of Minnesota and
curbs its spending this session, it
will be able to. do for the nation
what the similar effort has done
for Minnesota, namely, take
larger burden from the backs of
the taxpayers that has ever before
been accomplished by any other
plan or system.
Congressional spending hits
every citizen. The burden comes
home in the shape of high cost of
living and handicap to business.
There are few things at this time
that would do more to pull the
country out of it's depression than
an easing of the tax load. Mime
sofa has shown the way to reduce
taxes and its suggestion to Con-
gress is backed by actual accom-
plishments. While the taxpayers In
the several counties have been
organizing associations to study
tax spending and cut out what is
unnecessary, they have been build
Ing better than they knew, they
have been showing the tax relief
road to the entire nation. What a
wonderful thing it would be for
our country and all its people If
each state and the Federal Gov
ernment itself could do as well
proportionately in the way of tax
reduction as Minnesota has done.
Here is copy of the kilograms
sent to Congress:
Minnesota counties, villages,
school districts and townships |
have reduced tax Ievies next year |
$6.445,000. They have made these
direct tax savings through the
most direct method possible, that |
is, reduction Of tax spending. The |
burden of taxes has become intol-
