Roosevelt Makes a Good Start
Duluth Herald)

1t is nightly encouraging to note
that the president-elect, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, is showing not only the will
to give a good administration which
everybody credited him with, but much
good sense and sound judgment as
well.
That is encouraging because the
better the Roosevelt administration is,
the better it will be for the country.
And If that seems inconsistent in a
newspaper that opposed him for cleo
ton, let that newspaper say as it has
said on a previous occasion, HE was

Mr.. Roosevelt showed good sense in
arranging to discuss the debt with
Great Britain.
He showed good sense in saying that
the Hoover doctrine on stolen terri
tory Is the Roosevelt doctrine too.
And, above all, he is showing good
sense In picking his cabinet. It Is i'm
portant, because these are troublous
times, that he surround himself with
the best advisers he can find. He
couldn't find q better man for secre-
tary Of the treasury than Carter Glass
Of Virginia. He couldn't find more

about nervous imposition was to

These frank discussions Of the

reaction. On the one hand the con-
ductor has collected series of let
tiers of putative parentage containing
some of the finest billingSgate he has
yet procured for his Scrapbook. On
the other hand no less than three

written to express their thanks.

Gas Tax Diversion


indications are that the North Da-
kota legislature will proceed with the
idea of diverting proceeds from the
state gasoline tax to sustain the states
rural credit bond system. In SO do
ing it will, aid materially in solving
one problem and create another.
North Dakota has been one of the
few states in which every cent COL
lected from the motorists has gone
back into projects designed for hts
benefit. At present the money COL
lected as gasoline tax or in auto Ii
cense fees is apportioned to the state
and counties and limited to use on
roads and bridges, either state or To-
Cal. Enactment Of the Flanagan bill
will be the first departure from this
principle.
In many other states, perhaps less
favored than we, the motorist has been
taxed as source of general revenue
long ere this. He has squalled like
q steer at branding time but has new
ertheless paid. As result a power
-ul coalition Of persons and groups
interested in the motorist as a GUS
toner has been operating to protect
his interests. The motor makers feel
that the car owner gets better use
from his car and is more satisfied
II he has good roads over which to
operate. The road builders regard the
man behind the wheel as a customer
because his demands for improved
conditions build business for them.
The oil man is in the same position
as the automobile manufacturer.
In the past they have succeeded in
impressing their ideas upon the North
Dakota legislature with sufficient en-
phasis to keep the gasoline and Ii
cense taxes from going unduly high
and to keep the revenues produced
in funds where they would benefit the
motorist.
Now that a change is proposed they
may be expected to enter vigorous
protest.
incidentally, the use to which North
Dakota proposes to put this accrual
to its general fund is unique among
the states. Many commonwealth use
the gas tax to retire road bonds but
none. so far as the records show. is
dedicating portion of such income
to the sole purpose OF paying for
bonds issued for other purposes.
In 1882 various legislatures diverted
money from this source to such vide
~ divergent uses as general funds
election expenses, schools, fish hatch
cries, libraries, distribution of seeds,
poor relief, docks, mothers pensions
tuberculosis hospital, blind relief and
soldiers pensions.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

We're All Human Under the Skin
Kindly explain the difference be-
tween negro blood and white blood.
&C. c.
Answer-There is no difference. No
one can tell whether q specimen of
blood is from person of a particu-
lar race. The only difference between
whites and members of any other race
is in the relative quantity Of pigment
under the skin.
Deodorant
Efficient deodorant, harmless to
plumbing, to use in a septic tank. &C.
G. c.
Answer-A correctly constructed
and well planned cess pool or septic
tank should give little or no bad odor.
The use Of a deodorant is likely to de-
feat the natural bacterial action of
the tank. However, an occasional
flushing of the drain with a gallon of
water containing a tablespoonful Of
