Storm, director of short courses, and Pr w. Alderman, chief of the division of horticulture of the University of Min- nesota. These inquiries indicate a large registration on Monday, Feb. 20, the opening day of the course. Minnesota horticulturists will of course predominate in attendance, but the inquiries already received assure the registration of men from other states and from Canada as well. The course will run for three weeks or until ‘March 11. Each week will constitute a unit by itself. The firat week will be given to fruit growing subjects, the second week to landscap- ing and flower growing, and the third week to vegetable production. There will be instruction and work for both the amateur and professional. _The registration fee for the course will be $3.00. No deductions will be made from this flat rate even if the applicant remains for only a week. ST. BARTHOLOMEW PARISH HONGRS BISHOP BENNETT In honor of Bishop G. G.

A statement of actual facts and conditions now. may. help to clear the situation. “Minnesota’s motor vehicle tax law and the state highway development scheme—sometimes called the Bab- cock Good Roads Plan—are entirely separate and distinct, except that the trunk highway- fund revenues ‘are partly governed by the yield of the| automobile tax. The relatinoship be- tween them is comparable to that of a big development company to a bank which aids in financing' it but is un- der different management and super- vision. “The highway development plan is now part of the state constitution. One of its provisions authorizes a more onerous tax on motor vehicles than on other classes of property. Exercising this authority, the legis- lature of 1921 framed and enacted a law fixing tax schedules according to factory list prices, the possibility of falling prices failing to present itself. The factors of weight and power were recommended for con- sideration by the highway depart- ment but were not included in the! tax basis as adopted. Mainly because motor vehicle prices have dropped and the owner of a used car is obliged to pay a greater tax on it than is| value, the tax plan is rightly bring-| ing a storm of protest. Yet there is| no blame to be placed for careful, serious study was given the subject in advanc of its adoption. | “The remedy lies in' revision - of the motor vehicle tax law in the state | legislature which meets mext Jan- uary. Free discussion in the mean-| time will tend to bring generally sat- isfactory results but the cold facts should be kept in mind. “The state has assumed the con- struction and maintenance, forever,| of 7,000 miles of main highways! which carry probably four-fifths of | vehicle traffic. It provided $21,000,-! 000 last year for the remaining roads| —light traffic thoroughfares that can be more cheaply built and maintain- ed. That the state trunk plan was| based upon a minimum fund of $10,-| 000,000 a year—Iless than half the amount available for secondary roads. —also should be borne in mind. “Motor vehicle tax revenue in 1921 was $5,610,000, federal aid added $2,840,000 and counties sold reim- bursement bonds for projects which materially swelled the list of accom-| plishments. This year the federal aid! cent; there is slight prospect of “in- apportionment is reduced 25 per| crease in automobile tax revenue;| less reimbursement bond money will| ‘be available, and interest charges on trunk fund obligations now outstand- ing must be provided for the first| time. { “Therefore, if justice is to be ac-| corded the highway development| scheme future motor vehicle taxes should be made to yield an annual minimam of $7,500,000. This figure should be the basis for computing proper tax rates. “Gasoline consumption in Minne- sota last year was 117,000,000 zal- lons, according to the state -oil in- spector. Consequently, a tax of 5 cents a gallon would have been nec- Lessary to produce the sum received from the motor vehicle tax, had gas- oline consumption been the tax measure. A gasoline-measured tax will force owners of heavy and big- mileage cars to pay proportionately more to the trunk fund, but also will work to the undue advantage of the owner of an expensive car run a com- Gouaty of Beltrami Remaia Dalinquent Monday In January panies, or corporations, any estate, right, title, to, or lien upon. property for the County ing, delinquent uary, 1922, has ‘Therefore you, required to file fenge you may thereof, upon any said list, in, to, claim any or on (Court Seal) (Note)—Add 30 cents f vertising to the amounts ing list when sending in Townshii Name of owner Henderson Land Henderson Land Co, se% t 3.

SECOND TEAM LOSES TO DEER RIVER REGULARS The Bemidji high school second team, in their first public game of the season, made a fine showing at Deer River Friday night when it lost to that high school’s first team by a score of 16 to 14. Last week the Deer River outfit played. the Be_rmdn teachers a close game‘and a ‘victory Friday night by the high school sec- ond team was not looked for, but it came near being a victory. The first half ended 6 to 3 in favor of Deer River and in the second half Bemidji came back strong and at one time led the scoring: Deer River, however, came back again and nosed.
