100000 ADDED TO
STATE ROAD BILL


The extended dry period this
summer has increased trunk high
way maintenance costs on gravel
roads by at least 5000, 900, according
to an estimate by N. w. Elsberg,
state highway commissioner.
Besides adding to the cost Of
maintenance, the long dry spell
has made it impossible to keep the
gravel roads in standard condition,
and has also increased the danger
Of fast driving, Mr.. Elsberg said.
There are nearly 5000 miles Of
gravel roads in the trunk system,
he stated. these require consider
able moisture during the summer
months to keep them compacted
and permit satisfactory blading or
smoothing operations. They are
now so dry that blading leaves a
soft fulch on the surface which is
rapidly thrown off the roads by
traffic and wind. However, blading
is required frequently because Of
the bad washboard surface which
forms on the hard, dry surfaces.
The loss Of gravel from the
roads this summer will be abnor.
mally high and will result in a
heavy money loss. We have also
had to spend much more than usual
for dust laying treatments on
trunks through the smaller COM
munities. We are sometimes asked
why we do not put dust layer on
all the gravel roads. It would cost
US more than 100000 to do this
for only one season.

struction work as well as main

Rains will remedy these conditions
but meanwhile safe drivers will

City Gets Verdict In
Vernon Gray Case
CONTINUED from Page One)

Attorney Joyce Lewis, of Long
Prairie, represented Mrs. Gray be-
fore the Commission, while Attor-
ney L. L. Kells represented the
City of Sank Centre.
At the time of the sad accident
it was held that FERA workers
were employees of the city, al
though engaged on Federal pro-
jects. WPA workers are consider
ed Federal employees. The City at
first carried insurance to cover ac-
cidents of FERA, but Insurance
companies would not continue to
carry the policy and they cancelled
it. Hence, although no fault of the
city, the policy was cancelled.

Shodin, a farmer, started the fire
to protect haystacks on his farm
despite the fact that there was no
fire in that vicinity at the time,
Swedberg said.

will be charged formally with a
violation of the state forestry law"
Twelve new fires, set Tuesday by
lightning, burned out of control in
Superior National Forest and re-
Inducements from CCC camps
were sent into the isolated regions
to check them.
r. u. Harmon, forest supervisor,
said the situation generally in his
preserve was pretty well under
control, but not out Of danger yet

Isle Royale, Mich, still was
water-bound inferno. Eighteen hum
dred men were making an almost
futile effort to check blazes roar

Guests evacuated the resort and
a coast guard cutter stood by to
take them to the mainland. Sum-

however.
In Wisconsin brush, grass and
forest fires in area around Iron

men as investigators checked re-

Bayfield, County and Fire Warden
Scott Mclean were in charge Of
the inquiry.
Fires in Chequamegon national
forest in Wisconsin have burned
$4,000 acres in the forest and 5000

still sought to bring Wisconsin
blazes under control Wednesday.
At Deadwood, 8. D., two men
were under arrest, suspected Of
having started a blaze which
threatened the Black Hills Ma
tional forest and drove residents Of
Moskee. Wyo., from their homes.
State investigators were conduct
ing an inquiry pending which on
charges were placed against the
men.
The charred body Of Andrew
Leima, 70-year-old widower, the
only fatality in the Markham
Palo-Aurora fire, was found late
Tuesday a quarter of a mile from
his home. His furniture and per-
sonal belongings, which he had
carried to a nearby potato field,
ironically, were untouched by fire.
LENA was suffering from heart
disease and authorities expressed
belief an attack seized him before
he could reach safety.
The Aurora fire was reported un-
der control, with 40 miles Of trench
es dug around the blazes which
wrought such heavy destruction
through that end Of the Minneso-
ia iron range.
Several spot fires along the in

THE ACE OF PRESIDENTS
Observer.

Discussion of the availability of eligibility O.
presidential possibilities sometimes takes peculiar
turns.
There's the matter of age, for instance; which
however, seldom becomes prominent unless a cand-
date is notably young or is approaching the trad-
tonal three years and ten.
1t is being brought into the present campaign
because Senator Borah, now avowed candidate
for the Republican nomination, will be seventy-one
years old next June 30.
This is admittedly one of the obstacles he will
have to surmount, in spite of the fact he is still
apparently in vigorous health and strength.
Whatever the reason whether because man is at
the peak of ability and experience at the height
of popularity at that age, the decade between fifty
and sixty years has been the age in which most Of
our presidents have been chosen and have served.
No man has ever run for president in the UNI
ted States after he became seventy years of age al
though the only age limit is that of the constitution
which requires man to be thirty-five years old.
William Henry Harrison was the oldest man ever
to be elected. He was 81 when elected in 1910
Eight other president have been more than sixty
when naugurated but for four of them, Washing
ton, jefferson, Madison and Monroe, it was for the
second term.
Six presidents have been under fifty when inau-
gutade, Theodore Roosevelt being the youngest Of
these when he succeeded William Mckinley at the
age of forty-two.
Although age is likely to be merely minor fac
tor in the business of selecting presidential cand-
dates, it occasionally makes interesting subject
for discussion in that connection.-Rock Hill,

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE AMERICAN TYRANNY

Shall the federal income taxing power be used
bv the administration that happens to be in power
to punish its political enemies?
Cases charging fraud in returns have been start
od AGAINST John J. Raskob, Pierre du Pont and 9TH
ers They are based on returns made six years ago.
Six wears AGO. All these years Messrs Raskob
and du Pont have believed that their returns were
lawful. honest and satisfactory to government.
Civ or seven wears ago the treasury department,
Andrew Mellon being secretary, instituted suit
fo. tho collection Of millions of dollars from James
Conzens independent Republican senator of Mchi-
oan Senator Couzens had sold an interest in the
Ford Motor company and before selling had obtain
ed from the commissioner of internal revenue a
ruline as to the amount in income taxes that he
would Owe if he made the sale. This ruling was
made when Daniel C. Roper, Democrat was COM
missioner The Republican commissioner under
Secretary MELONS authority, repudlated the Demo-
cratic ruling Mr. Couzens was finally sustained
bv the courts, as he should have BEEN
Later Democratic administration set out to
bound Mellon about his income taxes and, we sup
pose, is still bounding him.
The Democratic national committee, Mr.. Far
1ev's committee. owes money to Mr.. Raskob Ras-
l,ob lent it to the committee and he wants the loan
paid Now, after six years Of silence they set the
beagles of the income tax office on Raskob.
The whole business is disgraceful 1t Is lntam-
Gus. If the income tax power can be used IN these
WAYS there is no freedom, no liberty, left in the
United States, and government has the tyrannc&l
power of a star chamber of the Iudors.
If the federal government cannot enact laws and
regulations by which mans income tax can be
finally settled within year from the day 1t is paid
it should abolish income taxes.
To reopen a mans income tax returns after SIX
years in which he has believed that ne has settled
with the tax collector is confession by government
first, of incompetency, and, second, of injustice
1t is confession that the government hold the In
come tax law over the heads of men as weapon
of persecution and revenge not less than as an III
strument with which to raise revenues
That the case against RaskOb is started after SIX
years of silence and at time that he demands the
payment of a debt that the Democratic committee
owes him (the debt is not disputed) constitutes a
powerful case of circumstantal evidence against
the Democratic administration of misusing law to
wreak vengeance upon its opponents.-Charlott@

BEARD AND LINGERFELT

Dwight Beard is another notorious example of
what sometimes happens to convicted criminals
when they are extended too much cemency. He
convicted of the murder of Gus Bounous, Val
desc merchant sentenced to die, and later his term
was committed to life Imprisonment. He escaped
and has led life of criminal terrorism since that
time. He shot his way out of trouble in Atlanta,
Greenville and got into trouble in Texas,
where he was apprehended, accused of murder.
Will Lingerfelt, Lincoln county man convicted
of taking part in the Dallas bank robbery, is an
other shining example. Hadn't been home more
than two weeks until he got into serious trouble
and is in hospital recuperatng from gunshot
wounds.
Still, the powers that be go right on turning
them loose, Tightening up on sentences, without
much regard for what the people think. Time after
time the newspapers of the state have spoken
against this thing, but the officials down at Raleigh
think nothing of it and go ahead listening to the
pleas of county politicians and ward heeers, seek
ing votes from the henchmen of the criminals.
Dwight Beard and Will Lingerfelt are two con-
spicuous examples of too free of the pardoning
the parole power.-Gastonia Gazette.

Planning would be reglonaI as
well as national.
AAA would say to a farmer that,
according to principles of good
farm management and soil conser-
walton, he should have his soil or
a stipulated part of it next year
not in cash crop-such as tobac.
co, corn, or wheat-but in clover,
grass, soya beans, or perhaps in
pasture. If his land were badly
quilted, perhaps even in trees.
But inaSmuch as the farmer
couldn't afford to forego his cash
crop otherwise, he would be com.
pensated at so much an acre for
bis shift.
Each farmer might be asked to
draw up a production schedule,
with payment conditional on that,
and eventually such schedules
would all be added up to fit int
proposed national production
schedules.
q
A GRICULTURAL experts, notably
Wilson, have been working to-
ward such a scheme for a LONG
time. AAA officials have beer

more than a year.
TIE main factual background for

dations will figure Importantly in
