Blames Real Estate Men.

Big realty dealers of the northwest sec
ton, Mr. Mackenzie declared, by vicious
methods keep down assessments in that
section, some of them being enabled to
dodge taxes so that they pay on a valua-
ton of not more than 30 per cent, against
the legal valuation of 662s per cent, and
the whole section benefits to the extent
that il pays on a basis of about 90 per
cent. To make up the deficiency in taxes.
said Mr. Mackenzie. other sections of the
city were over assessed, sometimes on a
basis as high as 30 per cent valuation.
There is petty graft, he said he had
been told in the plumbing department.
This was indicated to him by the require
ments made of plumbing contractors TO
use special devices, excessive in cost over
equally efficient devices. for which the
taxpayer has TO pay
In a debate with John Baker. a member
of the organization who lived in w ASH

and who said he wants no more or such
conditions, Mr.. Mackenzie suggested
remedies for the miSSovernment OF those
days. He declared that the referendum
and recall would eliminate graft and
other wrongdoing, as they had in other
cities.

S0NIHG ALFALFA FOR SUCCESSFUL CROPPING
OF soIL-TINiE AND METHOD OF

Hy Charles F. Hots Asst Asuurst D. s Dept d Agriculture

Thorough preparation Of the seed

important point to be observed in the
sowing OF alfalfa. All successful al
falfa growers say that a good seed.

culture. The ground should be bFok-

is to be done. SO as to allow It to
become firm and full Of moisture. A
liberal supply Of moisture is abso-
lutely essential to a perfect stand,
and not only must enough moisture be
present to bring up the seed, but
there must be enough to support the
young plants until more rain falls
If the alfalfa is to follow an oat crop
in the fall, which is a very good prac
tice, the land should be broken just
as soon as the oat crop is off; and
after each rain the field should be har
rowed to retain all the moisture pos
slble for the young plants. Whatever
crop the alfalfa follows, and whether
sown in the fall or spring, the prac
tice Of plowlng the ground severa

STEEL TRACK FOR WAGON ROAD

Mr.. J. F. Wood, Bromide, Oklahoma.
Your recent suggestion concerning
the use OF steel tracks for wagon
roads has been referred to me.
AT first glance, the idea Of using
q smooth steel track for wagon traf-
fc seems to have some things to rec
ommend IT, Experiment with this
type Of roadway has developed a num-
ber Of practical difficulties, however
Let us consider first some Of the sup
posed advantages. It is said that
one team could do the work of many.
This would be true only on level
track. It is true that team can pull
about five times as much on per
iectly level steel track as on q per.
feetly level earth road. When the
team comes to a per cent grade,
however, it can not pull more than
twice as much. and on 10 per cent
grade, if Che track is not kept per
fectly clean, the difference does not
amount to much. So, in order to
profit to any large extent from the
steel track, We would have to place
Il on a level or nearly SO. This would
require expensive grading.
Another difficulty is that Of keeping
tho track clean and free from mud
Or sand. Unless It. is kept in this con
dition it is but little better than an
earth road. Another point to consid

er is the stiffness or rlgidity Of the
track. A light steel bar would be of
little use unless placed on a rigid
foundation. The cost Of making a
firm and unyieldlng track, like a rail
road or street railway, would be pro-
hibitive under present conditions in
any part Of this state. The difficulty
Of turning out from the track when
one team has to pass another has
been found considerable.

years the vehicles on our highways
