Road Oiling Means
Motoring Comfort
Construction Activity Brings Tenn
porary Detours-Co Comfort Over
Improved Highways

This is the season in which mot
orists enjoy "razzing" the engineers
responsible for oiling the roads and
establishing detours around con-
struction projects, says highway
department bulletin.
Some motorists probably think
these engineers have deliberately
plotted against their Sunday after
noon enjoyment of some particular
stretch of highway. But if the
highway department failed to apply
the needed bituminous treatments,
the motorist would have poor driv-
ing for the next twelve months, in
stead of some slight inconvenience
for few minutes or few hours
with the freshly applied black sur
facing.
And if there were no detours,
there would be no nice, modern
roads to drive on. Construction
activity brings temporary detours
which make possible years of driv-
ing comfort over improved high
ways.
The state highway department, in
applying ordinary refreshments to
bituminous roads, treats only half
the roadway at time. It covers
the fresh material with gravel or
sand Immediately after application.
It keeps fagmen on the job while
the treatment is in progress, and
! these men warn drivers to go slow
ly over the treated stretch. If cars
go slowly they do not spatter the
bituminous material, but if they
speed they will pick it up off the
road. Bituminous treatments must
be applied during the summer
months.
If cars become spattered with BIZ
luminous road surfacing, highway
department chemists recommend
the following cleaning method: Mix
one quart lubricating oil with one
gallon of gasoline. Do not use gas
oline containing lead compounds,
such as ethyl gas. Spray or brush
the mixture on the spots to be clean
ed. Let the gasoline evaporate,
then wash twice with soap and
lukewarm water.

unparalleled slaughtering of cattle
has taken place, during the last six
months and particularly during the
past month.
June slaughter of cattle in the
United States was the largest on

ing to reports from all federally in
spected packing plants Of the coun-
try.
For the first six months this year,

the United States, this being the
largest slaughter on record for that
period except in 1928. TIL CORES
ponding total for 1928 was 1891 ,2S7
head. Last year the six-month to-
tai slaughter was 3,882,770 and the
five-year average slaughter for the
period was 3,868015.

nd other driving hazards.

and other driving hazards.
DRIVERS have a marked tendency
to take the middle Of the road when
going at high speeds. This is ex-
ceedingly dangerous, and often fore
es other cars into the ditch. Even
in open country driving, motorists
must realize that there is limit to
the speed at which they can safely
travel. When a fast driver finds
himself riding the center line in
stead of keeping to the right side,
it is time to slow down."
A report just issued by the Cali
fornia highway patrol says: Mot
or vehicle fatalities in California
can be reduced 10 to Is per cent
within year as soon as excessive
speed can be checked"
Frank G.. Berry, of the Minneap-
oils Automobile club, writing in
the current issue Of Sparks on
What Price Speed?", declares:
'4The remedy calls for drastic treat
ment. We must educate and train
both drivers and pedestrians-vig-
orously enforce the penalties Incl
dent to fragrant and dangerous traf-
f1c violations-hold down driving
speeds on city streets to a maxi
mum of thirty miles an hour. Can
we do these things? Not until pub
lie opinion has been materially al
tered. Not until the moral veri-
ties as expressed in the Golden
Rule have re-established them
selves in our consciences."

State Fair Will
Be Held Sept. 1-8
Sixty-One Events will Make Up
Five Night Programs
Horse Show

Arrangements have been conclud-
ed for the staging of the nation s
outstanding horse show in conjunc-
ton with Minnesota's Diamond Ju-
bilee State Fair, Sept. to 8, an
nounces Raymond A. Lee, Secre-
tary.
1t will be a $1,000 show, to run
five successive nights, from Sept.
to Z. With the leading stables of
the country competing, the capitol
of the horse show world will be lit
orally transplanted from Kentucky
to the Hippodrome at the State
Fair. I'll.
Sixty-one events will make up the
five-night program. There will be
classes for three and ive-gaited
horses, hunters and jumpers, sad
die yearlings, roadsters, polo
mounts, military horses, harness
horses and heavy draft bitches.
Of special interest to show de-
voices will be the five classes in
which riding skill only will be the
basis of the judges awards. Since
there are many gifted equestrians
in the Northwest these classes are
expected to scintillate with action.
Several stake events are included
on the program. Prominent Twin
City sportsmen and sportswomen
have united to underwrite some of
the stakes, with the Fair manage
ment offering the balance of the
prize money, which exceeds $10,-
O00-an all time record.
Assurances already have been re-
ceived from topnotch stables in
Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and
Iowa that they will include Mime
sofa on their itineraries this year,
reports Norris K. Carnes, superin-
tendent of the show. This augurs
well for the horse enthusiasts. Min
nesota owned animals have cut a
wide swath in show circles in re-
cent years and many of the stables
rank with the best anywhere.
Entries in the horse show diyis-
ion will close August Is.

Relief Group Urges
Fusion of Taxpayers
liens to Start Movement to Re-
duce State Taxes

Declaring that taxpayers must
initiate and carry on a concerted
fight of their own, John F. Scott,
president of the Citizens Tax Re
lief Association, today sent an ap-
peal to citizens throughout the state
urging "a fusion of taxpayers" to
bring about a reduction in state
costs.
He reported that definite pledges
for reduction in state expendi-
lures are being obtained from can
didates for the legislature in many
communities and outlined a plan
that will make possible similar &C
ton in all sections of the state.
What we need in these times is
a fusion of taxpayers. Instead of
waiting for the politicians to do
something for us, we must, if we
are going to get anywhere in re-
ducing state costs, initiate and
carry through a real fusion move
ment on the part of taxpayers. If
all those citizens throughout the
state who want to see state expen-
ditures reduced will unite in a
common program of action, we will
be able to elect a legislature and
other officials who will keep down
costs. A fusion like that can't be
stopped.
Something must be done at once.
The state tax this year is 33 per
cent higher than last year, and
another big increase will be need
ed for next year to wipe out the
deficit in the general revenue fund.
With most of their crops destroyed
by the drouth and no pasturage for
their cattle, farmers in many Sec
tons of the state are ready to take
vigorous action to check this in
creasing state tax" IT,.
Il have just returned from a
trip through Southwestern and
Western Minnesota. Everywhere !
found farmers, home-owners and
business men in the small towns up
in arms over state expenditures. In
most cases, local budgets had been
cut, but state taxes were going
higher and higher"
Mr.. Scott outlined a plan which
he hopes will bring about concert
ed action on the part of taxpayers.
'Our Association has requested
all candidates for the legislature
from Ramsey county to answer
four questions indicating their at
titude on state expenditures" he
said. 'This has been done in many
other communities We want tax
payers in every county to ask the
same questions of candidates for
the legislature is that county, eth
er through their local taxpayers
organization or as individual tax
payers, and then send us report
of the answers. Our association
will be glad to act as a clearing
house for this information, and see
that it is distributed to the news
papers and placed before the voters
in every way possible. Amy tax
payer or group of taxpayers can
submit the questions and get the
answers"
The questions submitted to the
candidates in many communities
are as follows:
1. Are you in favor of reducing
the cost of state government.
2. Do you believe that the cost
of operating the state government
can be reduced at least 10 per cent
during the next two years, and, If
elected, will you work to that end?
8. VIII YOU If elected, vote to
continue the present reduced auto
mobile license rates and oppose any
attempt to increase them?
4. Will you oppose any action

Little Hope Shown in Audit
or's Forecast for Relief
From Deficits

minneapolis Journal July 81
For the third successive year the
state tax rate for next years tax
collections will be the largest in the
history Of Minnesota, but there is
little hope that red ink-recorded
deficits now shown on the books
will be erased by that increased
rate.
The 1884 rate, on which tax col
lections of 1895 are based, will be
fixed in October. Officials agreed
Saturday that the total rate would
have to be higher tnan this years,
which is 11.O6 mills and which was
almost three mills higher than the
previous high mark.
The states general revenue fund
week ago showed a deficit of S.
342, 900, compared with a deficit a
year ago of 1851, 900. Financial ex-
perts in the state government said
revenue from special taxes, such as
iron ore, gross earnings and other
sources, are now on the upgrade,
thus assuring some badly needed
revenue, but probably not enough
to overcome deficits.
One factor serves to assure that
the new state rate will be held
