Gas Tax Allotment
More Than i'm 1881
Redwood County Gets $3.50 In
crease; Total Distribution
$1,125,00O More

Redwood county will receive sub
stantial increase in its share of the
gas tax fund this year. THE figures
set by the State Board of Allotment
last week is $52,100 compared to
$45,130 a year ago.
The allotment to Redwood county
from the one mill state aid fund has
been set at $19,744, the exact amount.
This county will pay into the state
aid fund through the one mill levy.
The total allotment of gas tax aid
to the counties this year is $4,325, 900,
compared to $3,2O0,OO0 a year ago.
The one third of the gas tax receipts
which goes to the counties is estimat-
ed at $3,60O,OOO this year and to this
is added $725, 900 caused by an excess
of receipts over the estimate used in
making the allotment last year.
The total allotted from the one mill
tax fund for state aid highways is
$1,S97 900, compared to $1,913,OOO in
1881, the decrease being due to low
err total assessed valuation. The al
lotment board, consisting of State
Auditor Stafford M. King, State
Treasurer julius A. Schmahl and G..
M. Babcock, commissioner of high
ways, met March Is.
One half of the gas tax allotment
will be paid in August and the other
half next February. Payments from
the one mill state aid fund are made
from time to time as work is complet-
ed by the counties and approved by
the highway department. The depart
ment has no supervision over the ex-
penditure of the county aid or gas
tax funds by the counties.
The law fixes the minimum allot-
ment of the gas tax fund to any
county at three-fourths per cent of
the total fund, or $32,437. In the dis
tribution of the one mill state aid
fund the minimum allotment is one
per cent, or sl8,97O. The amounts
allotted exceed or equal the amount
paid into the fund from each county
except Hennepin, Ramsey and St.
Louis, each of which is given three
per cent of each fund, the maximum
fixed by the constitution.
Special allotments were made to a
number of counties, on request of the
county board, to take care of special
projects which are of more than local
Importance. Special allotments from
the one mill fund total $50,088.70 and
from the gas tax fund $371,681.

Bannisters May
Have Difficulty
Getting Divorce

LOS ANGELES, March &c. U.P-
Legal difficulties may complicate
the divorce plans of Ann Harding,
film star, and Harry Bannister, her
husband, in the opinion Of S. S.
Hahn, prominent attorney and di-
vorce authority.
Hahn, in a signed newspaper ar
ticle, said it was contrary to pub
lie policy, as interpreted by the
statutes, for persons to agree mu-
tually to obtain a divorce.
The friendly plan" of Miss
Harding and Bannister would not
be sanctioned by law, he asserted.
The couple agree to obtain a
divorce, they said in statements, be-
cause Bannnister had lost his iden-
tity in the fame OF his wife.
RENO, New. March 26. UP
Harry BanniSter, husband of Ann
Harding, actress, who is here ad-
mittedly to obtain divorce, was
not concerned today over the state
ment Of S. S. Hahn, Los Angeles
attorney, that on the basis of their
statements neither Bannister nor
Miss Harding is entitled to decree.
Since I have not retained Mr..
Hahn or anyone else for my coun-
sci, and am not an attorney my
self, I hardly feel I can comment
on his remarks" he said.
The real story" of their separ-
alton has been told, Bannister as
serted. He said he had not deter
mined upon what grounds to seek a
decree. In Reno he planned to de-
vote himself to outdoor life.
Hahn's statement questioning the
divorce was based on the fact that
law does not recognize mutual con-
sent.

day morning, following the prece-
dent set last week.
AS the second week of trial on
charges of grand theft, criminal
conspiracy and conspiracy to vio-
late the corporate securities act

states case will take at least two
weeks more for presentation to the
jury.
The recess over Saturday brought
welcome rest both to prosecution
and defense attorneys, tired from
the nerve wracking grind of cease
less vigilance necessary in a trial
with so many different legal facets.
Witnesses on the stand yesterday
afternoon were Mrs. Cora Dryden
and Preston H. Wofford, both of
whom testified to purchasing stock
in the Associated Insurance Under
writer's, Ltd, while believing they
were to get stock in the Associated
Life Insurance company.

defense attorneys yesterday after
noon when District Attorney Elmer
w. Heald offered for identification
a letter from Los Angeles stock
holders security association saying
people in Imperial Valley and in
other parts of California had pur-
chased thousands of dollars worth
of insurance holding company stock
under the misrepresentation it was
life insurance stock.
The letter was marked for iden-
tification, but was not introduced
into evidence, and the jury was
not allowed to see it.

COALITION PLAN
URGED TO SLASH
FEDERAL COSTS
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent J

(Inlted freSS Slali 0OrTeSpO1uentl
WASHINGTON, March 26. U.P)-
An economy coalition of senate
Democrats and Progressive Repub-
licans today was considering new
proposal to lop $500,000,000 off the
cost of the federal government. Its
idea is that with such q saving, tax
increases could be limited to about
half of the $1,000, 100000 hitherto
considered necessary to balance the
budget.
The coalition plan is to reduce by
25 per cent the operating allow
ances for all federal departments,
bureaus and agencies. Salaries
would not be affected by this plan,
but the house economy committee
continued to wrestle with an assort-
ment of proposals to save around
Sl00,000,000 through salary reduc-
tions.
The new economy suggestion was
publicly advanced coincidentally
with new appeal by President
Hoover for the nation to support
whatever measures are necessary TO
balance the budget Terming bal
anced budget the very keystone OF
recovery" the President said:
"One of the first requirements to
the accomplishments of the abso-
Lutte necessity of a balanced budget
is that the people and all their or
ganizations should support and not
obstruct the members of congress in
sound efforts both to reduce eX-
penditures and adjust taxation
Mr.. Hoover said he was confident
further economies could be made
through the authority of congress
to eliminate unnecessary functions
of the government or in postpone
ment of less essential activities, to-
gether with businesslike reorgani-
zatio and coordination of govern
ment activities.
Details of the coalition economy
plan were withheld pending a sur
yey TO determine what strength 1t
would command in the senate. II
was known however to call for abo-
lition of some federal agencies and
consolidation of others. Mr.. Hoov-
er probably would be asked to ini-
tiate the consultations, but con-
gress would reserve the right to
choose the agencies to be abolished

Discomfort in Wisconsin.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Clnclnnat1 EnqulrerD
 For the first time since 1892 a La Toilette has been defeated by the voters of Wisconsin This does not mark the end of the political life of the La Toilette family, which has been powerful in the State for several decades Robert Jr., re- mains in the United States Senate at least until 1895. But the La Toilette power in Wisconsin is broken for the present and a long tradition is overturned.
 The year 1892 is year of upsets, because it is la year of discontent Without trying to take ac count of the many facts involved in the Wisconsin primary it is safe to say that chief reason for Philip La Follette's defeat was the fact that he has been in power for two years. Wisconsin, under the youthful Governor, has undertaken many innovations in government, es- lpeciay in the realm of welfare legislation Inno- vatons expensive, and high taxes are the con- plaint of voters everywhere. Under these circum- stances the primary test of strength between the faction in power and the faction out of power Discomfort held sway and the "outs' go in.
 The Wisconsin primary results do not appear to have any great significance in National politics. The cleavage in Wisconsin is between liberal and conservative elements of the Republican Party The conservatives won.
 Perhaps the major importance of the Wisconsin primary lies in it's proof that and women are disilusoned and want fresh leadership, for better worse. It is not hysteria, this turn of senti- must prepare for a powerful surge of public opn- ion aimed at clearing the slate and starting afresh with a changed leadership.
