ASKS 4c TAX
BE RETAINED

Contending that future development
of roads in the state depends upon the
gasoline tax, E. W. Moeller, secretary
of the Minnesota Highways Develop
ment association and Minnesota Good
Roads association, asked st. Louis
county commissioners to back a drive
to maintain the Accent gasoline tax.
Meeting informally in the Office of
George w. Deibler, county highway en-
gineer, Monday, the board discussed
the tax and road construction, par
ticularly the lack of it in the north
eastern part of the state, but took no
formal action.
The tax reverts to cents per gall
Ion on Sept. 1. Various highway as
sociations are building up movement
to press for return of the AGENT rate
at the 1941 session of the legislature
Commissioners Jacob L. Pete of this
city and Henry Anderson of Duluth held
that the state should give this area
more consideration in the building of
highways and expressed themselves as
favorable to the plan.
Mr.. Moeller pointed out that lack of
funds cost the state $2,8O0,OO0 in fed
eral road money during last year. The
money is still available, he said, if the
state can match it dollar for dollar and
use it on federal secondary aid roads.

Wants to Get Rid of
$4,000; Needs Help!

F. A. Amundson, state commissioner
of banks, has $4,000 in money which
he wants to get rid of and can't. May
be, some of it is yours. The $4,000
consists of dividends for persons who
had deposits in closed banks and filed
claims in due course, but subsequently
moved, and the department cannot
locate them now to turn over the
checks.
Unless owners of the dividends can
be found, the money will have to be
turned over to the state treasurer to
be held for a period of years, after
which it will become the property of
the state. Mr.. Amundson would prefer
to locate the lost depositors, however,
and will appreciate little help in
finding their addresses.

have not been recognized except when
something like the Weber-Carley bill
turnd up, nevertheless the city council
was asked for $3.50 as its quota to
pay for preparing the data to be
presented to the interim committee.
The council, working on cash basis
budget, could not see its way clear to
pass out $3.50, just like that, and re-
ferred the matter to the Ely Com
mercial Club. AS the Club budget is
also allocated for the year, private
collection will needs be resorted to if
the quota is to be met.
Then along comes the question "why
the needs of a committee treasury
when the school district and city clerks
of range communities are preparing
the statements to be presented to the
committee?"

A dozen American college heads have
memorialized Congress to discontinue
the Dies committee Among the II is
the president of the University of
Minnesota. Many in this state are
surprised ar; chagrined. The reason
assigned by the college heads is that
the work of the committee constitutes
an infringement of the rights of free
dom of speech and assembly" Bert
Pearson in his Virginia Daily Enter
prise thinks that while the Dies COM
mittee has erred in spots, the good
that it has done in shedding American
light on the subversive activities of
the forces which would destroy this
nation, far outweigh the mistakes.
America is for the truth and if there
are rats and termites in the house that
is the heart and soul of the land, the
loyal citizen wants to know it. No one
has been put in jail wrongfully because
of truth unearthed by the Dies group"
