Minnesota Represented at
National Tax Meet
Chicago Session During COnven-
tions Based On Idea Adopted
In Minnesota Tax Revolt

Minneota taxpayers will be re-
presented at the great nation wide
tax conference to be held in Chi
cago, June and 8, by ]. F. Reed
president of the Minnesota Tax
payers Association, it was an
nounced today. More than thous-
and tax and business associations
throughout the country have been
invited for this mass denomination
designed to impress upon delegates
to both national political conven-
lions, who will convene in Chicago,
necessity of writing tax reduction
into the national political plat
forms. The group will also serve
notice on Congress and other tax
levying bodies national, state, and
local, that unless taxes are reduced
Immediately, business must crash
with resulting increase in unrest,
unemployment and uncertainty.
In a boader scope, says Mr.. Reed,
this meeting follows the policies
adopted in many counties in Min
nesota when county and other levy
ing and spending boards would not
listen to the taxpayers demands,
where taxpayers met en- mass and
carried to these bodies their de-
mands and needs for tax reduction.
The Minnesota plan is being cop
led in other states, and now there
will be a great national session in
Chicago, which is merely an en-
lareement of the Minnesota revolt,

higher curbs and more substantial

ed. For some years past, no trunk
highway bridges have been built
less than "a feet in width-most of
them % feet-and in cities and
towns widths have been increased
to conform to local requirements.
Because of the greater likelihood
of serious injury of death from the
failure of a bridge than from a
washout or other collapse of ordi-
nary highway construction, much
more in the way of stability is re-
quired of the bridges, according to
Commissioner c. M. Babcock. Not
only must they be protected from
damage by flood tides and other
natural disturbances, but also
against damage from overweight
and oversize loads. On this &C
count, the bulletin adds, bridges
sometimes have an appearance of
over-strength as compared with the
bridges which they replaced.
80 Nine bridges built before the state
highway department took over the
routes upon which they were erect
ed have been broken down by ex-
cessive loads or collision with vital
portions of the bridges, but this has
not as wet been the experience with
any bridge built since the trunk
highway system was established.

Free Accommodations Available Dur'
ing Fair Week for Rural
People

For the third consecutive year
the Minnesota Farm Bureau will
operate it's free camp at the Min
nesota State Fair grounds during
fair week, Sept. 8 to 10. An inno-
walton two years ago, the Farm
Bureau State Fair camp has proved
to be one Of the best features OF
the fair for those rural people who
wish to take in several days OF the
big exposition at a minimum OF
expense. About 2,40O people spent
from two days to a week at the
1880 camp, and last year, despite
hard times, about $3.50 people made
the Farm Bureau grounds their
Temporary home.
The camp last year was consider
ably more convenient than the first
one conducted under bureau auspi-
ces, and further improvements in
camp conveniences are expected for
this season.
RAYMOND A. Lee, fair superinten-
dent, in requesting the affirm bureau
to again sponsor and operate the
state fair visitors camp, compli-
mented the federation on the fine
service it furnished to rural people
in 1880 and 1881. Admission to the
camp is not limited to farm bureau
people-an out Of city visitors are
urged to attend. No charges are
made for the use Of the camp
grounds, which are equipped with
running water, electric lights and
gas stoves, where campers may pre-
pare their meals.

Highway Patrol Report
Shows Force Is Active
Missing Lights on Vehicles Bring
Large Number of Tags to
Motorists

The summary of activities of the
state highway patrol for the month
of March, as reported by Commits
sioner G. M. Babcock, shows a re-
sumption of full-strength activity
after the members of the patrol had
spent number of days, in two
groups, at the spring session of the
patrol training school.
Outstanding in the report is the
number of tags issued on account
of illegal equipment of motor We
hicles. Tags were given to 789
motorists for failure to have rear
lights. Absence of clearance lights
on wide vehicles drew 137 tags.
Lights out Of adjustment came in
for 344 tags, and 554 had but one
front light burning.
The report indicates a valuable
part Of the patrols work to be in
the aid given to motorists in the
way of emergency help or travelling
directions. The number Of those
totaIed 1925. In addition, a large
number Of drivers were cautioned
about traffic law violations but moi
given tags or placed under arrest
Improper parking brought 242
warnings, improper lights 122
not driving in right lane 100, and
201 passed stop signs without max
ing the required pause.

Gas Tax Returns Are
Lower Than Year Ago
Less Car Miles Indicated in April
This Year Than Same Period
In 1881

Receipts from gasoline taxes to
go to state and county highway con-
struction and maintenance work are
reported by the division Of oil in
spection to have been $26,137.20
lower in April of this year than for
the same month Of 1881, according
to highway department bulletin.
Total shipments of gasoline into
the state in April of this year were
4,959,020 gallons as compared with
SO, 322,515 gallons in April a year
ago. This is a decrease, the bulle-
tin states, Of 1,363,495 gallons this
year. ~
The division of the months re-
reipts from gasoline taxes make a
total of $315, 955.40 to counties for
construction and maintenance
work, and $613,91O.s0 to the state
trunk highway fund.
Less favorable driving conditions
during April this year as compared
with the same period last year are
believed to account for tn reduction
in the amount of gasoline used for
driving purposes, the bulletin
states, but following months are
expected to range fairly comparable
with the receipts, month by month

This primary tuberculosis usually
heals with a deposit of calcium in
the affected glands. In fact it heals
in most cases without anyone's
knowing anything about itf and If
the child is fortunate and does not
have further exposure to an open

know that at one time he had the
so-called childhood type of tuber-
culosis." .s-.-
The best hope for the future well
being of child who shows evidence
of this characteristic first infection
type of the disease, is a protection
from further infection and living
under the best hygienic conditions
possible.
Of course, it is also important to
see that the child's physical condi-
ton is constantly watched, that he
has plenty Of good food, plenty OF
rest, that he is protected from IA
tigue and over strain and has plen-
ty of fresh air and sunshine.

Bridges Are Big Item In
the States Road Program
Minmesota's Thousands Of Lakes
and Streams Put Bridge Re
quirements High

While the innumerable lakes and
streams add much OF the wealth and
attractiveness of Minnesota they
also add plentifully to bridge con-
struction costs, state highway bull
etin points out in citing the bridge
work of the past few years.
To the grist of January, total
Of TIA new bridges have been built
in the Improvement of the high
ways constituting the state trunk
system. Some of these, the bulletin
states, have been requirements
while others are on new locations.
Plans for the current year call for
the erection of SO new bridges.
In addition to bridges over lakes
and streams, So bridges have been
erected over raiload an electric
lines, 95 under grades, and two by
which one highway Is carried over
another.
Bridge construction, the bulletin
points out, has changed considerab-
ly to meet traffic conditions. In
stead Of ease of placement from
the engineering standing, the pri-
mary consideration now is that Of
constructing the bridge to best
serve the traffic. and this may re-
quire erection diagonally over a
river, curved, inclined, or whatever
may best facilitate travel and add
safety for the travelling public.

st. Paul, May 16-Many of the
children who were victims of last
years epidemic of poliomyelitis in
Minnesota are not receiving the
after treatment that will help to
ameliorate a lifelong deformity.
Today's bulletin from the Mime
sofa State Medical Association ap-
peals especially to parents and
guardians of all such children to
give them =. the benefit of every
possible care to perfect them from
the tragedy of permanently Grip
Died limbs or twisted backs.
IL IF the child who had infantile

possible.
Careful massage and muscle
training at the proper time, COM
bined with use of proper mechani-
cal devices, such as supporting
braces and sometimes, with opera

children from the tragedy of Grip

Fortunately the bulletin points
out, there are exceptionally good
facilities for after care of infantile
paralysis in Minnesota. At the
Phalen Park Hospital for Crippled

the University of Minnesota, and
at the Shrine Hospital free care is
available to those who cannot af-

Wrong License Plates
Help Culprits Escape
Motorists Urged to Report Loss or
Misuse Of License Plates
Fictitious Name Given

The loss of license plate from
passenger car or truck can be
more serious, if not promptly re-
ported, than just the trouble and
annoyance Of having to get new
ones, according to state highway
department bulletin.
If a person using incorrect plate
gets into an accident, the likelihood
of a correct name and address be-
ing given is rather remote, the bull
letin points out. Instead, a fictit-
ious name is generally given, which
of course does not agree with the
name of the real owner of the plate
but that does not serve to prevent
the victim of the accident from
bringing suit against the register
ed owner. If the suit Is not de-
Tended, and proof furnished to
clear the owner of the license plate
from all connection with the acct
dent, the outcome is likely to be a
judgment by default.
On this account, the loss of a Ii
cense plate should be Immediately
reported to the registrar of motor
vehicles at the state capitol, and
so made a matter O officil record,
the bulletin urges.
A number of instances of inabil-
ity of motorists, whose cars were
damaged, to again locate the driv-
ers who were responsible for the
damage, have come to the attention
of the state highway patrol. Patrol
officers, the bulletin states, make
close investigation as to the correct
ness of licenses on all vehicles
which come to their attention be-
cause of traffic violations. These
Investigations have brought to light
the misuse of a considerable num-
Der of license plates with conse-
quent penalization, the bulletin
adds.
