Better yet — why not wear
patched pants and bring down
the price of overalls?
FOOLISH IN THE HEAD
The most idiotic fool stunt
pulled off lately is this "wear-
overal 8-to-bring-down-tho-price-
of-c!othing-agony. How in heck
is that going to benefit the situ­
ation? Don’t the white-cellaret
political
pap-sucking brigadt
know that there is already at
much profiteering in overalls at
in the high priced woolen goods?
And what is this sudden enor
mous demand for denim going tt
do to the overall market, already
unable to supply the normal de­
mand? Can you imagine th»
price dropping on a bull market':
Don’t you buy overalls from th*
clothing merchant and don’t you
suppose that he is ju st as willing
to profiteer on overalls as 01
woolen goods?
And what will the insane far
do to the pocketbooks o f th«
farm er and the (laborer, whose
work necessitates overalls? Dr
you think they are going to fal
down and worship the white
collared boob for boosting tn
cost o f— to them -n ecessities
W# trow nst.
O f course Governor Davis and
his horde of political parasites ai
the statehouse fell for the f»d
that bunch would full for any­
thing that lacks the element of
horse sense And while
th “
governor and his cab iretare help­
ing to boest the pries of youi
overalls just watch and seo what
effect their wearing denim will
have on the notice you get from
the tax collector.
Economize by all means, am
w ear overalls if your job or ne
cessity or preference requires.
But for the love of P ete don’t
help create an unnecessary de­
mand
lor a necessity in the
m arkets of today P ayette Lake
Star.

Approximately $40,000,000 of state road bonds can be issued under a
% limitation on the present assessed valuation of the state, including ft
•ends already issued. The constitutional amendment to be voted upon m
1 th e May 21 election provides for this 4% limitation.
In te re s t and principal o f the entire $40,000,000 of bonds can be paid
m rev en u es from a u to license fees and gasoline tax, based on conservative
m
im ates of that income.
fo llo w in g is an official estimate of the income to the State Highway
und from auto license fees and gasoline tax, compared with interest and m
iucipai requirements for the entire $40,000,000 of state road bonds, ft
lis tab le has been audited and certified by Whitfield, Whitcomb & Co.,
•rtified public accountants, whose attestation is subscribed below,
1 verifies the claim made that voting for the 4% state road bond limitation
ill not involve any tax on property, as principal and interest will be paid
om the auto license fees and the gas tax, leaving an actual surplus above ft
x amount required.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION OF TABLE
Column 3 represents the net income to the State Highway Fund from motor vehicle
cense fees (Chap. 399, 1 aws 1919). The 1920 registration figures to date obtained fr«m
he Secretary of State’s office indicate an average license fee of twenty dollars ($20.00)
er vehicle The law provides that twenty-five per cent be returned to the county from
hit It the vehicle is registered, therefore the net income per vehicle to the State Highway
und is approximately fifteen dollars ($15.00) per car which is the figure used in com-
tuting Column 3. I'he administration expenses of the motor vehicle law will be met from
he receipts from motorcycle licenses, chauffers’ badges, transfers, etc.
Column 4 represents the income from the Gasoline Tax (Chap. 159, Laws 1919) to the
State Highway Fund. Figures obtained from the Secretary of State’s office indicate the
tverage tax per vehicle in 1919, was approximately five dollar» ($5.00) and this figure
tas been used ir. computing Column 4.
Column 5 is the total amount of the motor vehicle license fees and the gasoline lax
rased on the estimated number of vehicles as shown in Column 2.
Column 6 is the amount required each year to pay off the interest and principal at ma-
urity o‘ State Highway bonds up to an estimated amount of $40,000,000 (the approxi­
mate amount which could be issued with a 4 per cent limit on the present assessed valua
ion of the .tale. These figures are based on these premises: T hat the balance of the Six
Million Dollars Bonds (Chap. 423, Laws 1917), the State Co-operative Bonds $1,100,000
(Bean-Barrett, Chap. 17J, la w s 1917), and the Ten Million Dollar Bonds (Chap. 173.
Laws 1919), now unsold will be sold during the vear 1920. Also that further bonds will
te sold as follows: 1920, $5,Jo0,000; 1921, $5,000,000; 1922, $5,000,000; 1923, $5,000,000-
1924; $2,200,000; a total of $40,000,000.
All of the bonds thus far authorized are «erial bonds and, except the Bean-Barren
saue, mature one-twentieth Bach year after the fifth year. The Bean-Barrett issue matures
$100,000 each year beginning with 1922. The Six Million and Bean-Barrett issues draw
1 per cent interest. All other issues 4 Mi per cent.
Column 7 shows the surplus estimated to be available each year after meeting obliga
ions for principal and interest.
The One-Quarter Mill Tax (Chap. 237, Laws 1917) on the total assessed valuation
of the state is not shown in this table as an assei of the State Highway Fund as this fund
is used principally to meet administrative expenses, surveys in the various counties, en
gineering supervision of county construction, and design and inspection of county bridge-
and structures.
