The plac will as- complish that, it is explained, mainly by relieving the counties of the up- keep of main highways and placing that heavy expense on the mozor traf- fic which is rapidly increasing road requirements. Friends of the plan present 1920 and 1921 comparisons furnished by the state highway de- partment in support of their (lnlms. Shows Local Gains. There are 1,745 miles of public roads in this county. Roac rwney this year includes $84,295 of connty and $76,140 of town taxes: 329,085 of state and $90,000 of federsal all, also $100,000 of bond revenue. The grand total is $279,561 Tand approximately $290,065 of it is be- ing spent upon the trunk highways which are to be taken over by the state. Thus only $89,496 now is be- ing spent on the Iocal roads. Under amendment No. 1, however, there will be available, next year about $205,140, against the- $89,496 figure this year—a gain of $115,644 without issuing any bonds. $15.000.0C0 for Local Roads. To the larger 1921 fund, county taxes will yield $100,000, township taxes $76,140, and the state aid will add probably $29,000 as this year. The county-town roads will measure 32 miles after trunk highways are en over by the state. Beltrami-county: will have gained nearly $116,000 for use on the lateral or farm roads, without increases in road taxes or issuing road bonds. Altogether, Minnesota road funds will.aggregate $25,000,000 next year, against less than $17,000,000 this year, and steadily increasing amounts will be provided in succeeding years under the proposed plan. The state will have about $10,000,000 a year for the trunk roads and the counties and town more than $15,000,000 ev- ery year for local roads exclusively. The benefits to the counties and towns at once are apparent from the big gain in funds actually available, friends of the proposal maintain, and every road will be made a good road in short order. Increases Cash Gifts. . Engineers report that the state by spending $10,000, 000 a year during the next six years can properly grade, drain and gravel the entire 7.000 njle state system and also hard-sur- tiee more than 1,500 miles of those carrying the heaviest traffic. It will be obliged first to put and keep every mile of the system in good condition, and then, as: funds permit and ac- cording to traftic demands, to use the surplus each year to permanent Flays Democrats and Plan of League pf Nations Flaying the democrats and the League of Nations, Thomas D. Schall, blind congressman of the Tenth dis- trict, addressed a fair sized gather- ing at the republican rally at the Elko theatre last evening. Lack of early publicity is partly responsible for the fact that the house was not packed. Congressman Schall proved a very interesting speaker and brought to the attertion of the public a number of vital messages on issues of the day. The showing of a two-reel com-| cdy completed the program. Speaking concerning the national ticket he did not mention personal- ities but spoke more to the point on the bigger issues which the nation is facing today. The League of Nations issue took a very prominent place in the address. Time and again he scor- ed the league and _showed whereby tle plan was not what the American people should adopt in order to re- ceive just benefits from belonging to such a banding of greater powers. It is plainly evident- that 8chall i5 2 “Reosevelt” advocate,/and also| an exponent of Senator Hiram John- son, whom he says should have been nominated in place of Harding. Pre- paredness is his motto and he believes that the people should see at once the need of being prepared for such em- ergencics as the last great war which encircled the United States forces so unexpectedly. He believes that the United States would not have been brough! into war and perchance there might not have been any war if this country had beer fully pre- pared to defend herself anu the small- er nations at all times, He spoke briefly on a number of topics which heretofore were some- what hazy in the minds of his hear- ers and all together he delivered a very important message. The Juvenile band played a numb- er of selections in front of the the- atre prior to the meeting. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR ANNA MOSEN TOMORROW Anna_ M. Mosen. wife' of Charles Mosen, died at St. Anthony’s hospital Monday afternoow at 4:30, after an illness of about six weeks. She had been taken to the hospital Friday morning. Death followed an opera- tion performed Monday morning.

With her husbahd she came to Minnesota elev- en years ago and settled at Spooner, wheres he lived until six years ago when the family moved to Bemidji. Mrs. Mosen is survived by her hus- band, three children, two girls, aged nine und two and a half years, and one son, fourteen years of age, be- sides five sisters and one brother. {One sister and brother reside in Sas- katchewan, Canada, two live in Min- neapolig, one in Wisconsin and one in Washington.

Jerdee and funeral arrange- ments will be under the direction of M. E. Ibertson. Interment will be made in Greenwood cemetery. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HIRE NEW SCHOOL NURSE Beltrami county already is receiv- ing $120,000 of state and federal aid. Advocates of Good Roads Am- endment No. 1 claim that the new plan will on the average double this gift from the outside. They explain that the proposal *looks too good to be true” to some citizens, but recall Dunn 1-mill tax amendment. The fact is that-all additional funds will come from higher motor vehicle li- censes and federal aid., and that the automobile and truck owners gener- allly favor it. Questions about Am- endment No. 1 will be answered in that paper if briefly and clearly stat- ed. /COX TO BEGIN TOUR OF EASTERN STATES Speak Each Week Day Until Election (By United Press) Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 6. ¢By Herb- ert Walker.)—With the last four weeks of his campaign remaining. Governor Cox today was completing plans for his final drive for the pre- sidency. That the nominee still has his ‘best campaign cards up his sleeve has been said by many discussing the campaign by Cox and ~emocratic leaders in the last few days. Begin- ning tomorrow the governor expects to speak each week day until elec- tion on November 2. He was to leave here for a swing down thru Kentucky, Tennessee and thence west to St. Louis and then back to Bos- ton. This trip will takKe him into Kentucky.

It is proposed to secure possession of the two houses and the land now located at the south end of the park. This would give the ecity full pos- session of all the property on the lake shore front as far south as the Normal school site. It is expected that considerable improvement will be made on the Normal grounds next year and it has been considered wise by the pafk board to have all improvements made in the Normal grounds and in the city park in harmony so that it will finally result in a co-ordinated plan for one complete park system. Improvements will be made at the foot of Third street and some adequate disposition will be made of the city boat house now there. It was proposed that a tree be planted in the Ralph Gracie park to: commemorate each Bemidji soldier in the \vux‘ld war who made the su- preme sacrifice and that a suitable| marker bc_ placed indicating for whom each tree had been planted.
