Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” Reasons Are Sound. A strenuous effort is being made to save the Elwell act, and its au- thor, former Senator James T. El- well of Minneapolis, has been spend- ing much time at the capitol for sev- eral weeks working against its re- peal. Mr. Elwell has also submitted to the senate and house committees a list of reasons why the law should not be repealed, emphasizing the fact that a law which enables good roads to be built should remain on the statute books. His reasons follow: The Elwell law is an optional law. The Elwell law does not raise the taxes except in the county that wants to use it and then only where there is a benefit. Its ‘provisions are fair. Under it the state pays half of the cost and the county one-fourth of the cost, and the benefited property the other one-fourth, each having from one to ten years to pay in. The use of the Elwell law in one county does not raise the taxes in the next county or in the state. The Elwell law is much needed in Northern Minnesota to build roads now. No good reason can be shown for its repeal. f Any good law that does things is sure to stir up the people. What Minnesota needs is good roads; this will bring in people and money. Good roads will keep the boys nnd girls on the farm. This is the only law which gets together eneugh money in one lump sum to build good roads now. Under the Elwell law we will quickly educate contractors to build good roads and with proper machin- ery they can build them for half what we could. Under this law each road is fin- 3 anced by itself, and only the exact [] amount of money required to buin || it is provided for. Under this law, the county sells i bonds, payable from one to ten years only for the roads actwally built. The state good roads convention held recently in St. Paul indorsed it. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association has indorsed it more than once and is making good use of it. ‘Why should counties that have never tried the law er built any roads |, under it want it repealed? It can- ROY hurt them-and does not cost them | any money to have other cogq;igfi' use it. Olmsted and Goodhue coynties are asking for its repeal. 'Fhey hiave built no good roadg. under the law and it is not costing them a penny. It will puf Minnesota back twenty- years to,have this law repealed, says By, Eritchard of Winona, + Twenty-one counties are using-the Eiwell law to build $2,751,723:70 worth of good roads.

The indictment,they present is that does not accomplish enough. The first count_ can scarcely be serious, for the bureau has never been fur- nished with anything like funds that could profitably be used in .attract- ing settlers to Minnesota.

So. far there seems to have been little bad temper in this country. But later on, as the situation grows more tense, and the American people grow more and more interested in the war, there will be more risk or offending others by violent expressions of opinion.
