Keep Away From
Center of Road
Patrol Officer Points Out Risks in
Driving on or Close to Center
Line

All paved or bituminous treated
state trunk highways in Minnesota
are center-marked as soon as pos
sible after being opened for use,
and if motorists used the center
marking as guide, particularly at
night, to enable them to keep well
away from the center of the road
way, a large number of accidents
would be avoided, according to
Captain George Kuch, of the state
highway patrol.
Reports are being frequently re-
ceived at the offices of the state
highway patrol of accidents in
which vehicles going in opposite di-
rections have come together. The
drivers of each have claimed that
they were on their own side of the
road, and frequently tire marks
have proved that they were, but
both vehicles were being driven too
close to the center line. A young
man riding on the left-hand running
board of a truck on trunk highway
No. had both legs crushed by a
truck going in the opposite direc-
ton but without the two vehicles
striking, so close was each to the
center line. Numerous cases have
been reported of persons having
their left arms injured in accidents
where two vehicles grazed each
other but were not completely
wrecked.
"a, few highways on which the
paving was laid some time ago are
1S feet wide. Others are 20 feet
and more, but all, Captain Kuch
points out, are wide enough to per-
NIT of the left wheels of vehicles
being kept two or three feet from
the center line, and this class of
accidents avoided.

AL Smith Warns III
of the Bonus Evil
Present Laws Will Double Govern
ment Cost in 20 Years He
Saws

Philadelphia, Sept. 13-Alfred e.
Smith today called upon the can
didates for President to tell the
people what they intend to do
about the soldier bonus problem.
The demand by the democratic
party's 1928 candidate for the
presidency was set forth in a copy
righted argument written by Mr..
Smith for the Saturday Evening
Post published today.
It voiced the New Yorker's own
disapproval of suggested legisla-
ton and some laws on the books;
it declared that present laws would
force the government within 20
years to spend as much for PEN
sions as the entire government
now costs. It blamed the house of
representatives for encouraging
much Of the legislation and agia-
ton.
Nobody, the former governor
said will take the negative side OF
the question that the man who of
fers himself to the country in time
of trouble should be rewarded.

New Type
Road Finish
OnNunber4
Road Between This City and
Round Prairie Will Be
Experiment
SUCCESS IN THE WEST
Mixture of Gravel, Oil and
Asphaltum Used-26 Foot
Wide Surface

Highway Commissioner c. NJ
Babcock is refinishing Highway
No. 4 between this city and Round
Prairie with a mixture of fine grav,
ell or sand, asphaltum and oil.
This is the first piece of highway
in the state on which this type OF
road finish will be tried.
This type of highway has beer
used extensively in California and
other western states with marked
success.
The new road will have a smooth.
ness not excelled by pavement. II
has not the lasting qualities ol
pavement, but is much more dur
able than the oiled roads and the
cost is only slightly additional.
This new highway will have q
finished surface Of 26. feet. 1t is
about three inches above the oil
surface and a driver can move
partly on the oil without danger.
Thornton Brothers, st. Paul have
the contract for the work and Lit
tie Sauk has become very active as
the mixing plant has been placed
along the Great Northern track in
that village. The mixing machine
is a mammoth affair of steel. 1t is
the only one of it's kind in Mime,
sofa and was moved here from
California by Thornton Brothers.
An automatic conveyor lifts the
gravel to the top of the machine
where it enters a large revolving
kiln. Through the center of this
kiln flaming oil under pressure is
forced, thus drying and heating the
gravel. From the kiln the gravel is
then dropped to a mixing box
where ashphalt is added and the
gravel mixed until it is ready fol
dumping into trucks which drive
under the machine.
A large boiler supplies steam fol-
the operation of the oil mixing par'
of the machine and in heating the
oil in tank cars so that it may easi'
ly be pumped to the machine, the
kiln of which is operated by an
enormous gasoline engine which
consumes IL gallons of fuel an
hour. The boilers are heated By
oil burners.
At present about one and one
half mile of the highway has been
completed without greatly imped'
ing traffic. This mixture hardens
and cures much faster than the oil
finished roads.
Besides the large conveyer there
are caterpillars, and about q
trucks of various sizes. About 4,
men are employed in all branches
and phases of the work.
The gravel is secured from a pit
perhaps 100 feet from the conveyor

Cost $1,000 Per Hour in 1881
Rate Problem Must Be
Readjusted

The Northern Pacific Railways
tax bilr in 1881 on its operating
property, it's lands and its SUBJ
sidiary companys property was 81
600 for every hour of the entire
year.
F. w. DeGuire, executive as
sistant of that railroad, in Sauk
Centre Tuesday referred to the
heavy taxes railroads pay in discus
sing the problems now confronting
the steam lines. He pointed out
that his railroads total tax bill on
operating property last year was
$7,783 900, on its lands $644,O and
1902, 900 on the property of the
Northwestern Improvement Com
pany, a wholly owned subsidiary
making a total Of $8,729,000.
He also cited figures to SHOW
that the railroads are large employ
ers even in a period of depressed
conditions.

open the party's state campaign in
a keynote address to be delivered
over a joint hookup of stations
WCCO, Minneapolis; KSTP, st.
Paul, and WEBC, Duluth, at 6:15
p. m. September 20.
The keynote will be Earle

March 10.
The address will be his first Of

ton on the state issues since his
nomination, A. w. Lindberg, head
of the republican speakers bureau
said.
He is expected to reiterate his
stand in favor of the proposed
state income tax amendment, his
program to make new revenue a
replacement revenue and outline
his plan for slashing 5000, 900
from the state tax bill and restor-

the state capitol.
The statewide hookup will en-

keynote will elaborate points out

camjaign talks given throughout
the state.
He will undoubtedly incorporate
in his half-hour address a reply to

Tax Saving Now
$l24 Per Capita
Local Economies Have Been Made
by Activity of Taxpayers, Says
Tax Official

Perhaps the greatest assurance
that we have that our unwieldy
tax burden will eventually be con-
trolled comes out of the new atti-
tude of the people of Minnesota.
Tax reduction is constructive.
Flagrant tax spending has been the
outgrowth of loose times. But
there has come a change, and the
people themselves have stepped in
to the picture. Today everyone Is
interested in tax reduction and this
means that there has been an
awakened interest in government.
Under our form of government,
what is more natural or more de-
sirable, than that the people take
a hand in determining what servi-
ces they desire, how far they want
to go, and how much they are will
ing to pay, Norman A. Bergen, of
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
ton declared in a talk Tuesday.
"Close to $19,0Oo,OOo has been
Topped off local government ex-
penditures in two years time. Al

ship and county levies amount to
$3,666,422. We still have the city,
village, and school district reports
to come in about October. If these
units do only as well as they did
in 1881, the total saving in loyal
government for the two years, will
reach the significant sum of $685.
O00OOO," Mr.. Bergen stated.
"This has been done by re-
trenchment of activity. That is
the heartening part of it. Instead of
necessitating our taxpayers dig
ging deeper into their pockets, this
retrenchment program will lower
the burden on each taxpayer on the
average $24.11," Mr.. Bergen said.

Football Interest
Being Developed
Thirty-Three Students Are Trying
to Make High School Team
Attractive Schedule

Thirty-three candidates answered
the call for football at the S. c. H.
S. where school opened Monday,
Sept. 5. This is quite an improve
ment over the turnout in the initial
year, and the boys are full of spirit
and plan to go somewhere.
An increased number of new
candidates from the lower classes
reported this year, which is crafty
ing BODIES we'll for the future of
football in Sauk Centre.
Seven lettermen are back from
last years team and include Orville
Carpenter, backfield, Fay Domke,
Inc; Pat Dubois, backfield and end !;
Coleman Huber, line; Edwin Krae-
man, tackle and fullback; Archie
Lowe, end; Bernard, Schultz, tackle.
To fill in the gaps the coaches have
to deyelope a center, a pair of
guards, a tackle and end, and tram
practically a whole new backfeld.
Things are getting into shape rap
idly and by hard labor, the boys
Should present a pretty good &C
count of themselves. They will en-
gage Long Prairie at Sauk Centre
in the first game of the season and
are planning on avengng the II %
o defeat handed them last year by
Siminski and Co.
Comptition is keen for the eleven
places on the team as there are
several new faces in the squad who
are giving the old timers run for
their money.
Coach Olson is being ably aided
this year by Oscar Santag, a new
member of the faculty, from Wi
mona, who has had experience in
playing and coaching football. In ac-
cord with the expanding athletic
policy of the High School. and re-
alizing the necessity of starting
from the ground up if Sauk Centre
is to get any place, Mr.. Tonn has
been shifted to the supervision OF
Junior High School football. This
squad practices each night by
themselves and the objective in
mind to get them grounded in the
rules, terms and general character
of the game, so that when they get
into High School they will be ready
to play without having to learn the
game first, as so many of our boys
have to do now.
Interest is picking up in Junior
High football evidenced by the fact
that around 40 young boys are out
there tossing the pigskn around.
A very attractive schedule OF
seven games has been arranged
four at home.
As new team progresses it
takes on tougher competition,
which Sauk Centre intends to do as
the schedule will show:
Sept. % Long Prairie, here.
Sept. 3O-Parkers Prairie, here.
Oct 7
Oct. -Holdingford, there. -
Oct. 21-Albany, here.
Oct. -Glenwood, there.
Nov. 4-Melrose, here.

Northern Pacific Railzvay
Has Very Heavy 1ar Bill

Production of transportation in
this country today is in excess Of
consumption and to a large extent,
the ills of outstanding transporta-
ton agencies are traceable to the
fact, Mr.. DeGuire continued.
Under conditions which now ex-
ist, transportation is unable to
scale down its operations to the
level of the business available.
Because there is too much trans
poration, a new era in that field Of
business is drawing. This new era
will place in it's proper relationship
each of the agencies Of transporta-
ton, the railroads, the common
carriers on the highways, the air
planes, the pipe lines and even the
private highway carriers. There is
definite place for all of them, but
salient facts stand out:
The railroad continues to be the
essential carrier and no substitute
has yet been devised.
To handicap railroad with
heavy burdens, unsound regula-
tions and subsidized competition is
to handicap also the territory the
railroads serves.
Unless unfair burdens now i'm

LOOT AMOUNTS TO $16
Robbery Took Place About
200 A. M. Sunday-Head
for Sauk Centre

Sunday morning at 200 o'clock
Ray Walker, who was peacefully
sleeping in his car at the end OF
the filling station on the Walker
farm, State Highway No. 3, three
miles southeast of the city, was
awakened by a Pontiac coupe, stop
ping in the station driveway, en-
route from Melrose to this city.
The car contained two men. One
was about 80 years of age, S foot
eight inches tall and weighed ap-
proximately IT'S pounds. The other
man was taller and simmer, prob
ably S foot 10, and weighing about
160. Both were quite we'll dressed
and did not look like Rays concep-
ton of hi-jackers.
They told Mr.. Walker to exam
inc the oil and fill the gas tank
The lighter and younger of the two
men watched the procedure while
the other one strolled into the sta
ton. Finishing serving his GUS
toners Ray entered the station
The man inside asked him if he
could change $1,000 bill. Mr..
Walker said he could but it would
make him very short of change
The man then gave him two one
dollar bills.
About this time the other man
entered the station advancing with
gun in hand saying, This is a
hold-up, Buddy, come across with
your dough" Mr.. Walker elevated
his hands into the air, but was
admonished to take them down.
probably because the station is very
close to the highway and passing
car might note his predicament.
After rifling the cash drawer and
Mr.. Walkers person, the smaller Of
the men backed out of the door
putting his gun in his pocket. Tine
other bandit Immediately produced
another gun and urged Mr.. Walk
er to get into the car as they were
going to drive him down the road
a bit. The latter told Ray to sit
on the running board the other man
said: mot by dam sight; he rides
in the center with u.s.. When about
a half mile distant from the sta
ton he was allowed to get out OF
the car with the admonishment
that he must not communicate with
the telephone.
Ray hurried to the Iwinski home
and called the police at Sauk Cen
tre but the bandits were not to be
found. Whether they came on into
town and through the city is not
known.
Mr.. Walkers loss, including the
seven gallons of gasoline and quart
of oil, was about $1,000.
The bandits have left a vivid
picture of their personal appear
ance in the mind of Mr.. Walker.

High Tax Versus
Low Farm Price
Reduced Farm Incomes Cannot
Meet Skyrocket Heights of
Farm Taxes

From the standpoint of the farm
er, the problem Of high taxes has
been accentuated because of the
great drop in farm income the past
four years. Federal and state taxes
have increased in this period, but
local taxes have been cut due to
the careful scrutiny of taxpayers
associations. Nevertheless, high
taxes on lands that are producing
crops that yield very greatly dimin-
ished incomes have made taxation
itself a farm problem, James P.
Mcdonnell, vice-president of the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association,
declared today.
Taxes have been going up, farm
prices going down. This is shown,
so far as farm prices are concern
ed, in the following comparisons,
1928 as compared with 1882. This
table points to the very heart Of
the farm problem, and tells its own
story:

BroOten 4; MelrOse O

Brooten defeated Melrose Sun
day in the final tilt for supremacy
in the Central Minnesota League.
The result was a shutout, the score
being to O. Fans say it was a
very good game and that, although
Melrose outhit Brooten they were
not entitled to the win. Shelso,
youthful mound artist, for Brooten,
was able to shut down in the
pinches, allowing only two success
sive hits in only one inning during
the game.
This win entities Brooten to go
to the State Tournament in st.
Paul, and according to announce
ment, the team will enter and
probably be listed among the b.
class teams. They are entitled to
pick four players from other teams
in the league, and it is said they
will choose some of the leading
hurlers. Rengel, who started the
season for Brooten, is back home
to accompany the team to st. Paul
and with 'Gilbertson and one or
two others should be able to give
a good account of themselves.
