State Auto Taxes
Under u. S. Average.

The Minnesota motorist pays nearly
80 per cent less in motor vehicle license
fees and state gasoline taxes than the
average American automobile owner, ac-
cording to tabulation by the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway OFF,
cials, received by the Minnesota high
way department.
Considering license fees and gas taxes
alone, four states have lower average
charge to the motorist than Minnesota
Two of these four, however, assess per-
sonal property taxes on automobiles
which bring their total taxation of the
motorist higher than the Minnesota
figures. Thus in total average auto
mobile taxation, As states are higher
than Minnesota and only two, Kansas
and North Dakota, are lower.
The average American motorist is
shown by the Washington figures to pay
$3496 a year in license fees and state
gasoline taxes. In Minnesota the aver
age motorist pays $25.52. The national
average license fee is $1223 against the
Minnesota average of 1884 The ma
tional average gas tax payment for a
year is $22.73 compared with $15.68 in
Minnesota. The average license fee and
gas tax is highest in Florida, where the
yearly cost is $62.52. 1t is lowest in
Kansas where the figure is $22.52.

Jackson Farmer Has Mare
With TlUin Mule Colts

ACKSON-MisSouri and Texas are
not the only states in the Union where
mule colts are raised-they are to be
seen on many farms in Minnesota. But
it's seldom that twin mules are born,
and even wore unusual that they live
for any length of time. A mare with
twin colts, both in fine condition, is
owned by Ernest Thompson, jackson
county farmer, who resides in Peters
burg township. The mules are about
two and a half months old, and are
sound in every respect. There isn't
a single doubt but what they will grow
up some day to do plenty of work on
the Thompson farm. But Thompson
will be lucky if he can figure out some
way to be able to tell which is "gee"
mule and which the "haw'' when he
comes to hitch them up to the plow!

covered in time, would have laid the
efforts of a lifetime in ashes. For
tunately the fire was extinguished but
a loss of 100000 was sustained. Ten
days later the Vermilion Range News,
new publication and newspaper that
publishes advertisements from out-of-
town patrons, regardless Of the in
terestS of its home merchants, was dis
covered in flames, sustaining a $4,000 90
loss. Both fires are considered of in
cendiary origin. The fire at the old
established Ely Miner was without ques-
tion an attempt to wipe out that paper,
the blaze starting upstairs just below
a window which opens on to vacant
space at the rear of the lot or which the
premises stand. No reasonable cause
for the fire could be found at the spot
where the blaze started, the space being
open and clear of rubbish or of any
materials of a combustible nature. The
firebug is a lowly creature, cowardly
and blot on humanity.

Saltwater NewS-Despite the fact that
there are no wealthy publishers, except
now and then one in the largest daily
field, and they are not interested in
this particular matter, someon, is al
ways figuring out that "the newspapers
are making all together too much
money"
The latest discovery along that line is
in the matter of the legal publications
required in probate court. Someone in
authority has established new set OF
forms for use in preparing these pub
lfcationS. The result is that where
heretofore newspapers have been paid
$2160 for publishing the three notices
required in the usual estate they will
hereafter be cut to $3.50. The usual
notices published are Petition for Ad-
ministration," Hearing on Claims" and
Hearing of Final Account"
BY the new hocus pocus a probated
estate is saving the trifling amount of
$500. The publisher handles a very
particular publication for an amount
so small that it is of little Importance
| in providing the means and maintaining
costly special equipment and skilled
labor.
While this petty economy is Effected
nothing has been done to bring any
saving in administrator and attorneys
fees which are the important part OF
the expense of probating an estate.
These fees remain at one and one-half
per cent of the estates appraised valu-
alton.
The average estate may be set at
| about $4,000. For carrying it thru
probate:
The administrator gets $3.50.
The attorney gets $50.
The printer gets $3.50.
If it is large estate, say 100000
and there are some such, the admins
traitor gets $1,000. The attorney gets
$4,000. The printer gets $3.50.
Yep. printers are getting entirely too
rich. Soak the rich, damn 'em!

Elkton Named for Elk

An ElktOn without an elk is the re-
sponse given tourists when visiting
quaint little Elkton, wealthy farming
center In the heart of Michigan's famed
thumb. But there's reason for the
name the town bears. 1t seems that
some years ago the village was known
as Oliver, but one morning one of the
eounty's first settlers found that an
elk had hanged itself in the clothes
line. From that time on the commu-
nifty has been known as Elkton.

Odd Beet Growth

CHASKA.-A cow beet which liter
ally tied itself into knot last sum-
mer, was produced by James Welter,
ChaSka. The plant was found on the
Welter farm, northeast of the town
An eighteen-inch root of the beet had
tied itself into a perfect knot, growing
into a loop, and then passing through
it again. The. beet is on display in a
ChaSka office window.

Fergus Falls Tribune-The bad habit
that some automobile drivers have of
resting the left arm on the open
window sill has caused serious injuries
to two in this neighborhood within a
week. Similar cases are reported con-
stantly, some of them resulting in
death. That gesture to show perfect
command of steering wheel and car is
dangerous and should never be used by
any driver. Elbows inside, both hands
on wheel, eyes on the road ahead, mind
intent on its job, are the A p c of
first-clasS driving.

Anoka Union-A newspaper is often
blamed for publishing court news.
Suppression of part of the court news
is absolutely wrong. No blame can
rightfully be placed against a news
paper for publishing the court records
where a man is arrested, pleads guilty
and is fined. The blame is wholly with
the man arrested. If liquor plays a
part in the guilt, that should be made
a record, too.

WHAT OTHERS SAYI /

Minneapolis Tribune-The SkeletoniL-
ing of the MIRA constitutes one of the
most interesting of all new deal phen-
omena. The process theoretically be-
gan last June, after the supreme court
had invalidated the original NFA by a
unanimous decision, but it has gone
forward by such gentle stages that it
may still be studied at leisure by the
naked eye.
BY mid-August the skeletonizing had
progressed to the point where the NRA
pay roll was actually greater than it
was in July, 1884, and now that gaunt
and fleshless agency is able TO report
that on Sept. it had been reduced to
only 2,760 jobholders whose salaries
totaled a mere $7,OO0,OOO a year. On
that date, it was requiring cnly 473
executives, sn5-executives and miScel-
laneous experts in or above the $4,000
a-year class to administer this skeletal
recovery organization. The legal de-
partment of the defunct MIRA was
worrying along with the services of only
10 attorneys, receiving from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, and its total pay roll had
been reduced to a $427 ,000-a-year basis.
The supreme court knocked out ali
the NRA codes, but the business CT code
administration on Sept. Z, was demand
ing the attentions of IA special assist
ants receiving $1,000 each, seven re-
ceiving $4,000 each, Is receiving $500
each, and Is receiving $4,000 each.
Thirty-five senior assistant deputy
administrators were serving the shat
tered remnants of the NRA for salaries
of $5 200, and SO assistant deputies were
willing to remain with that emanciated
organization for nominal stipend of
$4,500 a year. In the field, there were
eight regional directors at $4,000
year, and % state directors were re-
ceiving salaries ranging from $4,500 to
$4,000.
This, then, is what remains of NRA,
killed by the supreme court on May q,
and converted by congress, after death,
into a statistics gathering organization.
With its present staff, we suspect, it
will be able to collect an oceanful of
figures; but none will prove more il
Illuminating than those which reveal the
skeleton NRA, more than three months
after its demise, still kicking in a
100000 closet.

Ell COmunismO HreQhzQble

Ante ell Congress- Comunista que Sc reune en- Mosc1,
ell delegado por Mexico ACADIA de declarar que Eel profile
ma actual del partido en- Mexico, es la unificacion de las
masas en- una REVOLUTION Nacional anti-imperialista agra
ria. Dijo que las descarriadas tacticas polfucas han evil
tado que Sc lleve a termino ea organization, a%gregando
que ell comunismo ha penetrado en- los sectores mas i'm
portantes de trabajadores organizados, tales como los fe-
rrocarrileros, tranviarios y empleados de la Industrial Pc
trolera.
Hablo luego de que ia resistencia-en masa-de los
trabajadores, Sc ha hecho necesaria en- vista de los ayan-
ces imperialistas y capitalists contra los intereses del
pueblo. Els evidente que ell partido comunista esta aho-
"a mismo trabajando por aque1la unificacion, y que to-
davfa tiene los suehos de materializar en- Mexico, 10 que
ha sido siempre, como teorfa, de una belleza deslumbran-
tie, pero utopica e irrealizable.
Ell comunismo es, en- esencia, una teoria que envuel-
We ell orden social y pohtico, de acuerdo con la cual la
propiedad y los medios de production quedan deposita-
dos, como 81 dijeramos, en- manos de un grupo, y las uti-
ldades obtenidas son aplcables al bien comun. De acuer-
do con ella, los individuos, sin exception alguna, carecen
del derecho de poser bienes materiales de ninguna es-
pecie. Els ell Estado-Estado Comunista en- este caso-el
administrator, ell encargado de dar a cada cual 10 suyo,
conservando ell %equilibrio nacional en- materia de eco
nomia.
Expuesto brevemente ell significado de csc movimien-
to. que es I'm nero espejismo, pasaremos a examinar las
condolences generates de Mexico, para darnos cuenta de
81 es possible o no la naturalization de una idea, vieja
como ell mundo, pero absurda mientras los hombres naz-
can, Sc eduquen y vivian, dotados de tan dstintas facul-
tades, de tan diversas maneras de sentir.
La estructura social y poitica de Mexico, es de un
definido caracter capitalista. Ell criollo es, por naturale-
"a, ambicioso y POGO firme en- sus convicciones, que va
rian de acuerdo con SUI posicion social. La prueba la te-
nemos en- los resultados de la revolution de 1910, que
empezo en- ell terreno poltico, y acabo por ser una que
ira de castas, que todavfa no termina por cierto. La ten
dencia que siempre ha ~palpitado entire las masas, de des-
truir la tiranfa de los ricos, de los poderosos, de los in
fluyentes, no ha tenido otro fin que ell de susttuir a esos
mismos ricos, poderosos e infuyentes, con los deshere-
dados de aver. La igual distribution de la riqueza es un
nitrate que solo deslumbra a los ignorantes, y a aquellos
La opinión., 1935-08-09

que sin serlo, tienen las caracteristicas interiors; de los
hombres de buena fe. Ha faltado y faltara siempre, ell
factor supreme, que es ell de la sinceridad. Els asf como
yemos a los hombres que en- la miseria luchan contra ell
"capitalismo", transformarse rapidamente en- burgueses,
apenas han probado las mieles de la comodidad, porque
la riqueza opera en- su ideologia un curioso fenomeno.
Nj en- Mexico nj en- ningdn otro pals del mundo,-a me-
nos que fuese uno fundado con %individuos que no tienen
nj Ell pan de mahana,-puede prosperar la idea que tiene
como agravante esa attraction ~fantastica, csc embrujo que
a tantos cautiya a primera vista.
En- la propia U. S. r. s., cuya propaganda invade al
mundo entero, no ha podido ser realizado csc programa,
por la sencila razon de que es irrealizable. La Revolu-
cion, como todas las revouciones en- ell mundo, ha crea-
do nuevas castas: aver eran los mobiles favorecidos por ell
zarismo; ahora son los "proletarios" distinguidos, los fun
cionarios que viven a expensas del pueblo, los altos poll
ticos y los militares de eevada graduation. En- Mexico
no hay nj siquiera una remota esperanto de que la teoria
materialice, por las circunstancias de que henos hanla-
do antes. Ell tr~abajador cree en- ella con una fe conmo-
vedora. mientras no tiene una base segura para su
subsistencia y ell sostenimiento de su familia. En- cuanto
sus medios de vida son un POGO mas holgados, va per-
%diendola, y convenci6ndose de que la humanidad es y Sc
ra la misma hasta ell fin de los siglos: una gran masa de
individuos, dividida en- dos castas: la que manda y la que
obedece.
Que eel prob!ema actual de Mexico es la unificacion
de las masas en- una REVOLUTION Nacional anti-imperialis-
ia" como 10 ha dicho ell delegado a la Septima interna-
cional, es una perogrulada como otras tantas. Cuando
esas masas Sc unifiquen-si legan a unificarse-kdhran
creado acknowledgements intereses que les hdgan cam
biar de parecer, y la stuacion sera la misma, solo que
con los factories ~invertidos. La tendencia comunista ha
sido una aspiration obsesonante desde que ell hCmbre
abandono las cavernas para organizarse en- clanes: STEM
pre- Sc ha luchado por materializar la teorfa, y siempre,
sin exception alguna, Sc ha fracasado. iComo, entonces,
podra hacerse en- I'm periodic relativamente corto, 10 que
no Sc ha podido hacer en- millones de amos?
Resulta mas provechoso no solamente para ell pals,
sino para la humanidad entera, trabajar por ell mejora-
miento individual, que es tangible y factible, que csc cons
tante predicar en- desierto, a sabiendas de que somos ape
mas eslabones en- una cadena sin fin, en- la rotacion de I'm
circulo que tene sus pasajes gratos y sus pasajes pc
nosos.
