Even tjhe nation, is- not una& fected as is sh^wn, by a 'mass forced press atuft the ed|ue*| tional and newspaper bureaus off both the leading parties are sending broad cast in an effort to enthuse. Thfc great bulk off tjhd rank and file simply refuse to be inthused. In Minnesota this condition is not tut* known to the King Makers and they have wisely decided to lay off for a month, figuring that about Fare Week is the best time to gkit busy. Why this condition in*a national' year? you probably ask. Generally $ is a period off pep and element off ginger is absent this year. Well, to speak plainly, the voters of this day and age have troubles that strike nearer ^iome, and what is more^ they are not crazy about either' of the national standard bearers. To use a slang word there is a feeling among the rank and file off both the greiat parties that they were "gyped" in the selection of the "Big Feller" and they simply do not care what hap pens. They admit that both Har ding and Cox are probably equal to the task imposed on them and they* Undoubtedly, will be satisfied with either but, in t,he meantime, they are devoting their attention and their interest to things closer to home the rent gouger for instance, the profiteer iax food stuffs and the, high cost of liying generally. Some one ij responsible and they are going to find the goat before fall. It is today, not tomorrow, that the people seem to be mostly concerned with. As ta issue, the most of those ad vanced are falling on disinterested ears, though in truth there is one issue that has considerable call, and it has to do with the present dras tic dry act. For reasons best known to themselves the leaders of both ut sition off light wines and beers, not so with the masses. It is quite a topic witjh them, and the word off yours truly for it, sentiment runs the light wine and beer way. The home brew fad is doing it. One thing sure, the Wilson-administra tion is not1 going to get the Cox crowd anything. This is off general knowledge and on it the Harding backers are basing their big hopes. To them it means a Republican year and they are not far wrong. The old story about United States Senator Knute Nelson resigning in favor of| State Auditor Preus has been revived and is now going the rounds of the state press. That the idea of its resurrection is injury to Jake's gubernatorial candidacy goes without saying, but it will fail of its purpose. No one is more interested in the political success of Jake Preus than Senator Nelson, and undoubt edly a Washington residence for his protegee is one of the old man's dreams but you can put it down cold that if Jake ever does get there it will be by has own boot straps and (Continued on last Page) AND 1 Whatever question may have been jraised., in isolated instances of the attitude of labor toward Amendment No. 1—the Babcock good road plan labor bodies. -The first official action was taken at a meeting of,, the executive coun cil of the Minnesota State Federation off labor at which unanimous approval was given the good roads amiend ment. Next the state convention of the Working People's Nonpartisan Political league at Rochester indorsed the amendment with the reservation that no bonds be issued by the state in the carrying out off the plan. And the convention of the State Federa tion of Labor at Rochester took simi lar action. As- to the matter of bond issue, it is exceedingly unlikely that any such issue ever will be needed or author ized. The bond issue power is given the Legislature in the amendment largely because at the time it was written the authors had not foreseen how much revenue could be raised by automobile license tax to pay .for operations without a bond issue. Since then conditions have changed. The amendment requires that any bonds issued under the law shall not be sold below par and shall not bear interest over 5 per cent. Of course it would be impossible now or in the very near future to sell a penny's worth of bonds on these terms. It is estimated that with 300,000 motor vehicles in the state by next year $5,400,000 could be collected from license fees and 82,800,000 from Fed eral aid, making a total of $8,200,000. It was never intended to spend' more than $10,000^000 on, the plan in any single year, and the road materials may be so difficult to obtaift next year that it will be impossible to spend the $8,200,000. cash available. On each succeeding year\there would be more machines to be taxed. More- Labor iis wise in indorsing this amendment, furthermore, because alt but an insignificant percentage of the money to be spent will go to labor. Labor will manufacture the cement, quarry the rock and prepare it and manufacture the machinery to be used besides laying the road itself. Labor its a Consumer off food, tine marketing of which will be cheapened and facilitated by good roads. And labor is an extensive o^fner and user of automobiles. Is there any possible reason why enlightened labor should be against this amendment? Send your developing and printing to Woods & Seglem. Best service. Satisfaction guaranteed or money re funded.

In discussing the local conditions as they appear to an outsider Mr. Clapp of the State Extension Division stressed the im portance of intensive cultivation and the production of crops of such character and quantity as to over come the handicap of transportation difficulties at present existing.

It ^ems the point at Beaver Bay has been purchased by Minneapolis parties and this beau tiful spot closed to the public. It calls attention to the fact that the beauty spots should be preserved to the public at large and the visit ors that are coming in ever-increas ing numbers, as the highways are being developed.
