There can be no valid objection to it by any citizens If you have an idea that you do not favor it, it is because you do not understand it. Here are the main features, briefly stated: It provides for the taking over and building of nearly seven thousand miles of hard surfaced roads, which reach every section of the state, and the principal traveled roads. There will be an issue of ten million dollars of bonds each year for ten years, but the outstanding bonds at no time shall exceed seventy-five million dollars. These bonds and the interest are to be paid from a license on automobiles and trucks. The average license will be $18 a year—and these automobiles and trucks will be free from all other taxes. The license money is put into a sinking fund, and can only be used in payment of the bonds and the interest. It will amount to five million dollars a year at the start, and will steadily increase, and will be amply sufficient to retire all bonds within twenty years of their issue. There will be no tax levy to build these roads. The automobiles and trucks will pay the entire expense. The man who does not own an automobile will not have to pay a single cent towards the building of these roads, no matter how much property he may own. He may own one or a dozen farms, which will increase in value, and unless he is the owner of an auto, he has not a cent to pay towards giving Minnesota seven thousand miles of paved highways. The only people who might have an objection to the plan are the automobile owners, but they will get back in a de- crease of expenses from three to four times the amount they pay for their yearly license. Their saving in gasoline alone will be as much as their yearly license, if they drive five thous- and miles a year—and these paved highways will double the milage for their tires, and lessen the upkeep of their car. The automobile owners are enthusiastic for the Babcock plan. Why should any one else object, when the entire cost is paid by them? The amendment will be submitted to the voters at the November election, 1920. If adopted, the highway commis- sioner will take control of these seven thousand miles of road in 1921. The several counties will be relieved of all expense of maintenance and improvement of these roads. In Stearns county the state will take over about 160 miles of highways, on which is now expended 80 per cent of all the road money raised by the county, and contributed by the state. The county commissioners will have control of these moneys as at present. They can designate 160 miles of state roads in the county, to be graded and graveled, and kept in good condition by caretakers. This would give the county 160 additional miles of good, well maintained highways, and would be a direct benefit to the people using these highways. This means also that many of these roads, now an expense to the towns, would be taken care of by the state and county and the towns in turn can use their funds to put in condition other roads, which means good passable roads all over the county— and what is true of Stearns is equally true of the other counties. The Babcock plan will therefore not only give the com- monwealth 7,000 miles of the most perfect highways, 18 feet wide, at no expense to the general taxpayer, but it will also give the state an additional 7,000 miles of state highways at no increased expense, and a general improvement of town roads—all this without an extra cent of taxes. Get these facts in your mind, and when some of your neighbors object to the plan, you can easily convince them of their mistake. This is the best proposition ever put up to the people of the state—and it should have a tremendous majority at the election. It may take a lot of explaining to get every citizen to understand the proposition, and every friend of good roads §hould start in boosting at once for the amendment, and keep it up until the last vote is cast. It is too important a matter to be lost through neglect. ———0 “I, myself, have invested in these bonds. There is every every reason for buying them. The patriotic reason is enough. But in addition, there is afforded the best security in the world, backed by the credit of the government of the people of the United States. Let us introduce into the works of peace, some- thing of the spirit our soldiers introduced into the work of war.” These were words of Theodore Roosevelt.

Chinese Trade In Firecrackers, Chinese invented gunpowder and popularized firecrackers. The cheap- est kind of firecracker is made of gun- powder rolled up in coarse bamboo pa- per with a covering of red paper, red being regarded by the Chinese as bring- ing good luck. Alum is used to neu- tralize the smoke. The Canton district Is the center of the industry. The Chi- nese seem to use firecrackers upon ev- ery occasion—to speed a parting guest, in wedding celebrations, on festivals and birthdays, and to dispel evil and bring good omens. China exports about $3,000,000 worth a year. Possession is nine points of the law—and if found in a thief’s posse- sion they all point toward the peni- tentiary. 1 CRANDNOTHER KNEW There Was Nothing So Good | for estion and as Mustard But _the old-fashioned i burned and blistered while it Get the relief and help that mustard plasters gave, without the and without blister.
