KANSAS CONNENT
MORE INTENSIVE FARMING.

In gentle way the Springfield Re-
publican complains because Speaker
Cannon gave the Craftsmanship of the
agricultural committee to a Kansas
man instead of to Representative
Henry of Connecticut, the ranking
mem Der OF that committee. In this
connection it says with reference to
western farm lands, that If it had not
great and cheap areas of highly work
able land. the New England farm would
have fourished much more than it has
in the past so years. The Denver
Republican gets into the discussion at
this point:
at is q question of the survival of
the httest both respecting the farms
and the selection of a chairman for
sentative Henry lis, doubtless, highly
capable member, but in the nature of
things he can hardly possess as much
information respecting agricultural
needs as member from Kansas. AS
for the farms, New England farmers
can not expect to compete on equal
terms with those of Kansas in pro-
ducing crops of wheat and corn or in
feeding live stock
while Kansas farms have some
notable advantages over those of New
England, the latter might make a
better showing If they were as careful
ly titled as those of Europe. Proxi1n-
ity to the great markets is in favor OF

advantage of this he should learn a
lesson of thrift from the farmers Of
Germany and France. where wonder
full results are achieved by tillage So
careful and economical that it's equal
can hardly be found on this side OF
the Atlantic
Colorado farmers are learning a
lesson in this respect. They devote 4
large part OF their labor to the pro-
duction of crops in connection with
which irrigation and intensive culti-
walton play prominent parts. Thus
they are growing many tons of sugar
beets and are securing big returns.
While New England farmers could NOT
produce sugar beets at a prdit. they
could find other kinds of intensive
farming which would go far to re-
deem agriculture in their part Of the
country from the reproach under
which it has SO long rested.

Salary Raising Amendment No. |!

There appears to be no special
objection to the majority of the
amendments. About the only
one which has been attracting
comment and antagonism is that
proposing to raise the salary Of
the state superintendent to $4,000
per year.
This amendment is a vicious
one, and but four years ago, the
people of the state arose against
it and defeated it, but so strong
has the influence of the State
Superintendent become in mat |
tiers political, that the late car
before his retirement, succeeded
in having the Legislature enact
into a proposed constitutional
amendment, that which for so
MANY years, had lain so close to
his heart, even though four years
ago this amendment with the
bond issue and the little red
school house in the country
lane" crumbled beneath the
mass of votes against them.
But try, try again" was ever
before him, and the Legislature
would force this unpopular meas
ure down the throats of the peo-
pie. The writer believes that
$4,000 per year with all expenses,
is ample pay for the purpose of
running over the state attending
teachers Institutes and being
feted. $4,000, a High School In
spector, a stenographer, lnsti-
tute Conductor, ETC., is sufficient
to secure the services of our best
men. How many of them are
getting this salary teaching?
Which entails the most work?
which receives the smallest com
pensation in comparison to the
confinement and demands en-
tailed? Aswell, by the grace of
Sanders, is to-day receiving a
specially created salary of $4,000
because he plainly saw the hand
writing on the wall in reference
to the amendment which will
surely be defeated next month;
he resigned and a salary was
created for him, which would
heal the many wounds caused by
the watch dog of the people the
country papers. The State and
/ it's children are being held up
for the purpose. Every dollar
} diverted from it's proper channel
for the qualification, not compen.
sation-of an individ ual is wrong
6 and the people should not toler
ate it. Pay a man for every
, thing he does, pay him what it is
worth-and not a cent more.
The best way in which to re
move the educational system
from the political-is not to make
positions of dollars, for the mo
ment that you do this, you cen
ter the grasping and aVaricious
= eye of the politician and his min
ions upon the plums. Make

= ton, but not simply of dollars
For the reasons we have set forth
we advise every citizen having tn

amendment. Keep the Office GU
