To Prouide Small Farm Homes
For Worthy Citizens.

Congressman Kinkead of Ne
braska, in a recent letter to the
editor of this paper enclosed a
copy of the following bill which
he has introduced, and which
he has every assurance of it's
passage during the next session
of congress:
BE it enacted by the SEN
ate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America
in congress assembled, that there
shall be established a board to
be known as the National Board
of Home Builders, to consist of
the Vice-President of the United
States as chairman, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury as treasur-
er, and an executive secretary
to be appointed by the President
of the United States, by and
with the advice and consent of
Senate, the salary of said execu-
tive secretary to be fixed by
Congress.

AnAwakening Among Taxpayers.

A cut in the price of beef will
be welcomed by all Californians,
with the possible exception of
the vegeterians, says the Los
Angeles Times. We would have
preferred to see this cut brought
about by the further develop
mont of our western states rath-
er than by shipments from Aus
tralia. We have between the
Rockies and the Pacific coast a
vast undeveloped domain, as
capable of producing beef and
mutton as any of the lands in
that great South Pacific island.
A removal or reduction of the
duty on imported meats will not
encourage home development or
the settlement of newcomers on
our western lands. 1t may give
temporarily, cheaper chops and
steaks, but it will be to the final
enriching of foreigners and the
shrinking of our own pocket
books.
After all, it's a penny wise and
pound foolish policy to cheaper
supplies, unless at the same time
the earning capacity is kept up
to it's original mark. Advance
Australia" is a good slogan in the
antipodes; it won't sound so in
spring in our home markets.
When in capturing this market
Australia has advanced far e.
nough, the price of meat WILL
ADVANCE IN PROPORTION. The
only difference will be that money
once kept at home will go abroad.

Farmers Decline Government Aid.

Farmers Decline Government Aid.
More than forty per cent of all
the farmers interviewed by gov
ernment representatives lately,
believe that experience is the
only way to learn how to farm.
This percentage told agents
sent out by the Department of
Agriculture that they took no
stock in farmers Institutes, dem :
onstration agents, farm papers
or Department of Agriculture
publications as aids in helping to
make the soil more productive.
Starting on foot, or on motor
cycles, four department agents
travelled through thirteen states
visiting every farmer along the
way, and asking questions. This
inquiry revealed the fact that of
the farmers who got Department
of Agriculture bulletins, "a per
cent read them and 48 per cent
followed the suggestions and had
pronounced success.
The above 40 per cent who re-
fuse to read and learn, or listen
to advice or suggestions begets
one to thinking it Takes all
kinds of people to make a world. "

An Awakening Among Taxbdy-
payers.

The San Francisco Chronicle
speaking of high taxation in all
parts of the United States and a
demand from the taxpayers of a
great many of the larger cities
for curtailment of public eX-
penses and a decrease of taxes
says:
A steadily increasing tax rate
on a steadily increasing valua-
ton will soon begin to make the
small taxpayer squirm. The
big taxpayers may swear, but
they will not squirm, for they
can stand it. 1t is the man of
moderate means whom taxes
hurt most.
And it is the people of moder-
ate means who pay the great
majority of the taxes directly,
besides indirectly absorbing a
great part of the taxes of the
rich.
"The tax rate for the coming
year will be 1924 on the hum
dred dollars, and properties whose
valuation is being steadily in
creased do not. yield one cent
more revenue than they yielded
when the city tax rate was near
$1.15 and the valuation very
much less.
There was an outcry. at tax
paying time last November.
There will be a bigger outcry
next November, of this year,
for the taxes will be higher and
the means of paying them the
less.
'Shall we never stop this ex-
travagance? Shall we go broke
before we realize that the pres
ent is the time for strictest econ
omy? Shall the city rush head
long into debt for what it does
not need-or what it does need
for that matter when every in
dividual in the city is seeking to
reduce expenses?
And says the News of Salt
Lake: 1--WE have for years been
calling attention to the necessity
of a safe and sane financial poll
cy in the administration of pub
JIG affairs. All over the country
a similar demand is being heard
now. The taxpayers are getting
tired of the never ending de-
mands for more money, for this
and that, whether the commune
ty can afford it or not. How can
the cost of living ever be re-
duced as long as, the public debt
is increased from year to year.

MISSIONARY PICNIC

The annual missionary picnic at
Bethel and Chapel churches was held
last Wednesday and Thursday, pursu-
ant to previous announcement, and
the exercises at both places were
pleasant and profitable.
Rev. A. D. P. Gilmour, Of Chester,
delivered the address at Bethel, and
talked most Interestingly Of religious
conditions as he was impressed with
them on recent trip into the near
east. The address at Chapel was de-
livered by Dr.. Adams; but it was real
ly the address that DR.. Gilmour had
delivered at Bethel on the day previ-
Gus. DR.. Adams undertook to tell his
audience what DR., Gilmour had saidr
and those who had heard DR.. Gilmour
are agreed that he succeeded.
The money raising feature Of the
picnic was the proceeds from mission
ary cotton raised by members of the
congregation. The aggregate Of all the
contributions at Bethel was two bales
and at Chapel about three bales, all Of
the cotton having a money value Of
close to 1925.
This missionary picnic idea was
originally introduced by Rev. s. n.
Hay at Glover. Rev. w. B. Arrowood
took it up from Mr.. Hay and DR..
Adams has been keeping the good work
going on without impairment. The to-
tai proceeds this year were larger
than ever before.

practical purpose is to reduce the occa-

parents sometimes take to ridicule and
make light Of the children who are not
so fortunate. There are other reasons
for the suggestion and the whole idea
IL worth consideration. is
