PERIODIC SUBJECT OF MUCH PRO

PERIODIC SUBJECT OF MUCH PRO-
paganda, the gasoline tax is back in the Min
nesota imelight again this year. One group
wants to maintain the four cent gas tax, the
other to let motorists off with three cents
per gallon tax.
One group out trying to build up coun-
try support for the three cent tax computes
the saving per average vehicle at So per
year if the one cent trim is made. This as
sumes the average motorist drives about
10000 miles per year IN THIS STATE,
which comparatively few country drivers do.
What you would save can be estimated by
studying your eedometer-rememberin
to subtract long trips outside Minnesota. If
you are 5000 miller, your saving will be
only So. Figuring it further, if the one-cent
is taken off, Redwood county will lose about
$4,000 in state aid or about $3.50 per car,
on the basis of county registrations. 1t is
safe to assume the county or the township
you live in is going to maintain its roads
which means this will be paid in real estate
taxes. A great many real estate taxpayers
are likely to find themselves paying more in
stead of less.
Minnesota, incidentally, isn't out of line
on gas taxes. We are among the 18 states
which maintain four cent levy. Ten charge
five, five others get six cents, one gets six
and one-half and three actually levy seven
cents. There are ten with three cent tax
and Missouri, which apparently hasn't been
shown, charges mere two The average
for the nation is 4.7S cents.

ST. PAUL. July 24.-Hopes for the
settlement of the stormy WPA strike
in Minneapolis frightened with the
announcement of a five-point peac1
plan by Governor Stassen.
The Governor appealed to Fed
eral authorities to set aside dismiss
sails that have already been made.
Striking workers are understood
to have agreed to a compromise TO
be submitted to the strike leaders.
The plan provides that dismiss
sails must stand but that men wish
ing to return to their jobs shall be
reassigned as rapidly as possible.
Those returning will sign agree
ments not to engage in any legal
activities.
Virtually all WPA projects are
closed pending strike settlement.
The strike resulted last week In

dent Roosevelt telephoned and said
he had made an appointment for

ested in the matter and plans to
discuss it further when he comes
here this summer.
Secretary OF State Hull appears
equally enthusiastic ana Jne de-
partment of State gave me carte
blanche authority to proceed. 1t
appears that an expenditure OF
from S14,0OO,00O to $25,0o00O0 will
be necessary. / do not believe there
will be any difficulty in Congress
over this, if I can work out a
reasonable formula.
after all, it costs more to build
a single battle cruiser. Certainly a

great that the defense phase will

ROOSEVELT,

PLAIN TALK
Two Democratic Party
Leaders in Conference
at Hyde Park, NY.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, July "a
President Roosevelt described today
conversations with Postmaster Gen.
eral James A. Farley as one of a
series of talks the two have been
having since 1928. Farley arrived
here yesterday afternoon and re-
manned as an overnight guest.
Considerable speculation arose as
to whether the two were to take
up the third term question following
Farley's recent tour of the West
Coast.
President Roosevelt, sitting in an
open car under a huge oak tree on
his estate, with Farley propping his
foot on the running board, told the
newsmen that if he was writing a
story he would be afraid he would
have to make it very uninteresting
The President said he would moi
speculate and would have to stick
to the truth, which was that the
two leaders of the Democratic party
were just having another one OF
their regular talks that they have
been having since 1928.
Farley Even Silent
Farley had originally intended tc
see the newsmen but he injected
only few remarks of no particular
import.

WARNING
IS GIVEN
CONGRESS
National Mayors Demand
Immediate Amending
of New Relief Act

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Unit
ed States Conference Of Mayors
has warned every member of Con-
gress that the Federal Work Re-
lief program might collapse unless
the new relief act is amended i'm
mediately.
The warning is contained in a
special report drawn up by group
of national mayors headed by
Mayor LaGuardia of New York. A
copy of the report has been mailed
to every member of Congress.
1t stresses the inability of mu-
inequalities to provide for the work
ers who will be cut off from the
WPA projects by September l.
The congressman are informed
that the discharged workers will
seek relief from local agencies but
will be found wanting because the
towns already have exhausted all
available funds.
Said the report: What good is
it to appropriate funds for work
relief if the conditions around the
appropriation are such as actu-
ally to prevent providing work?
This is not an attempt of munich
palities to dodge responsibilities but
it is question Of taking care OF
the unemployed until such time as
the national economic system gets
into gear and the unemployed can
be absorbed into private jobs"
The report concluded that the
new relief act must be revised II
the present economic system of the
United States is to endure.
