BY a Woman Speaker before
the Great Conservation
Congress.

KANSAS CITY, MO-, Sept. 70
"The Farmers Wife was the sub
5ect of an able address by Mrs. Har-
riet wallace Ashby before the third
annual Conservation Congress here.
with such a novel subject, what
Mrs. Ashby had to say was heard
with much interest. She said in
part:
The conservation movement, OF
which this National Conservation
Congress is the exponent, has for
its object the transmission of our
natural resources, unimpaired, to
posterity.
ANY movement for the promotion
of the farmers interest must, if 1t
is to be a success, receive the sup
port not only OF the farmer, but also
of the farmers wife. The first
problem OF the farmer is how to in
crease farm products through bet
ter farming; the first problem of the
farmers wife is how to improve the
condition Of the farm home. The
mistakes of the husband in his
sphere during one season may be
corrected in the next; the mistakes
made by the wife In rearing her
children are never entirely cor
rected.
Believing, as ! do, that the great
problems of farm life as they per-
tain to US wives and, mothers can
only be solved through cooperation
and organized effort, wish to advo'
cate the union of farmers wives in
country women's clubs with the OBJ
ject of breaking up the nionotonous
routine of farm life and for the dis
cussion of anything and everything
pertaining to the betterment OF farm
home.
The salvation of most families
depends on the mother, she is the
one who does SO much to make for
the happiness, health and long lie
of her family. The health of any
mother is liable to fail under her
RESPONSIBILITIES the farm mother is
especially subject to physical break
down, for she not only bears the re-
sponsibiIity of rearing her family
hut she also shares the anxteties OF
her husband If, as should always be
the case, the farmers wife is his
business partner and assistant farm
manager.
The farmers wife is most I'M
Iportant factor in the conservation d
the soil, for she will in large meas
ure determine the efficiency OF the
farmer, Then, too, the attitude OF
the wife toward the farm. and her
success in making happy farm
home largely determines whether
or not the country boy remains or
the farm.
The average country boy is de
voted to his mother. How thai
mother would like to clear the OBJ
stacIes from his track, and to give
him the best the world affords. Il
the mother feels thatr.the farm otfers
no future for her boy. the chances
are the farm will lose the boy Th'
training which the boy reared II
the city must secure before he can

The New Taxation Scheme

The new scheme OF taxation which
has bean outlined by the tax inquiry
commission appointed by the last legis-
lature TO recommend Gov. Osborn s
new plans, is one which should arouse
all those who are interested In corpor-
ations in this state. The plan to re-
ieye the real and personal property Of
the state OF all the burdens OF carrying
on the state government and transfer
the same TO the corporations by an as
sessment upon the market value OF
their stocks and bonds, is on the face
Of il, wholly inequitable. The state
government 8 activities are carried on
for the protection OF life and property
IN this state, and the advancement OF
civilization by the maintenance OF an
educational system. The corporate
property Of the state comes long ways
from being all the property OF the
state, the lives Of the people interested
in the corporations are long ways
from baing all the lives at stake IN
Michigan. ON the theory that the
burdens OF taxation should be equitably
distributed, on such system as Mr.. Os.
borne suggested and Ms the tax inquiry
commission promises to report, can be
applied. However. the plan is in the
direction OF accord with the up-to-date
demagogism which would put all the
burdens of government on invested
capital and take il off lands and agri-
culture. II the new plan is proposed
simply as one to Immediately please
the farmers IL may prove success.
But ii cannot, as outlined, be even OF
permanent benefit to them. They, as
much IA any other element in the state
need to have new capital come into the
state to develop It's industries and
make new and enlarged markets for
their agricultural products Capital is
very mobile and where IL is not actual
ly. invested In lands and buildings, can
fly with ease TO more congenial local
