The Investigators found that in this
area the average annual value OF the
food. fuel, oil and shelter enjoyed by
the farm family was $5O5. Of this sum
the farm furnished directly 1929 leav-
ing only $76 to be bought.
Food was, of course, the principal
item. This amounted to $4O1.93, OF
which $3.50. IS, or 1928 per cent was
raised on the farm.
In the recent investigation, for ex-
ample, the investigators found that
S125 was fair rental charge for the
average farm house, including interest,
depreciation and repairs. The fact that
the farmer does not have to pay ont
this sum is equivalent to adding $125 to
his income. With labor it is much the
same. The members of the family Sc
cure by their work comfort which they
would otherwise have to buy; or to put
it another way, if they did the work
for somebody else. they would be PAID.
AS it is they pay themselves.
1t is obvious, therefore, that what
the farm furnishes directly in food, IN
fuel, in shelter, and in rent is an I'M
portant part of the farm famlly's IN
come. On the other hand it must be
remembered that the farmer has capt.
tai invested in his business, the inter-
est on which must be earned before he
can be truly said to be making money.
In the proper relation of the three fac
tors-interest on the investment, cash
receipts, and direct income from the
farm = lies the secret of successful
farming

THE republican state central commit
tee of South Dakota at a recent meet
ing unanimously adopted resolution
declaring for the repeal of the primary
election law. A committee was, APP
pointed to draft new law and submit
it to the legislature. The South Da-
kota people seem to have the courage
of their convictions. The CONVICTION
seems to prevail in this state that the
primary law is a failure and farce,
but it is doubtful if our lawmakers Will
have the courage to throw it into the
discard yet. They ought to try and
frame nominating law that will not
keep people from the primaries as is
the case with the present system.

Cost of Experimentation.

The dollar and cents cost of govern
ment in Wisconsin has often been called
attention to, observes G. E. Wander
Cook, the brilliant and understanding
correspondent of the Evening Wiscon-
sin, writing fran Madison. The jump
in about fifteen years from approx
imately 81, 000,0 annually to SIG, OOO,-
900 represents expansions as well as
expenses. 1t is the tribute the tax
paving public, directly and indirectly,
has been called upon to pay in order to
try out the various plans and ideas GER
tain politicians, who have been holding
office as business, have advanced. All
this talk that one hears, that these va
rious plans and propositions originate
with the people and are demanded by
them, is as laughable as it is false.
From within and without the state,
plans. propositions and schemes with
out number have been foisted upon the
people for no other reason than that
Wisconsin was labeled as ultra-progres-
sive and with it came a much-abused
appeal to local pride under the often
misused influence of the term, the WIS
{ consin idea.
! For many years, adds Mr.. Wander
! Cook, the voters gave their political
assent to proposals which involved ever
expanding activities of the state. They
were under the influence Of expert
mentalists who had everything to gain
and nothing to lose as long as they
could continue to hold Office. Leglsla-
lures were obedient and the state
pocketbook large and easy of access.
Under the gradual development of this
system, each session, under the name
of progress, added something new
and activities already instituted were
expanded and augmented. Speaking
solely of the system with respect to it,
cost to the state, and making no at
tempt whatever to differentiate be
tween what should have been done o.
not done, without reference to claims
made of magnificent achievements il
the interests of the people, the peopl
: have finally voted for a change in poll
cies. This is what the election of Gov
ernor Philip means, if it means any
, thing This is what the overwhelmln!
| defeat of the constitutional amend
ments means, if it means anything.

THE supreme court has taken a rap
at bungling, botched and poorly drawn
laws which the prOgressives have
crowded into the statutes in recent
years, in a decision in the Husting-
McGovern elsction controversy. Judge
Marshall says that in attempting, to
regulate everything by law has led to
an endless number of incongruities in
legislative enactments that puzzle the
courts. Everybody seems to take a
kick at the Wisconsin idea nowadays.

Glycerin,s Discovery.

The first announcement of his dis
covery of glycerin was made by Karl
Wilhelm Scheele, a Swedish chemist, IN
1777. The inventor described the sub
stance as ''the sweet principle of fats"
and named it oelusus. Later investiga-
lions by Chevreul, Berthelot and many
other chemists resulted in the perfect
ing of the glycerin which is now so
largely used in manufactures, medicine
and the arts. Scheele made many
other important discoveries, including
tartaric acid, chlorine and baryta. He
discovered arseniureted hydrogen and
the green color still known as
"Scheele's green"

New YORK CITY has 200, 900 more un-
emploved than it ever had before, ac-
cording to investigation made by the
citv administration. In the larger
cities of the country and especially in
the far west the problem of the jobless
man who cannot find job is most
serious one. 1t is one of the saddest
commentaries on the present order OF
things economically scientifically, politi-,
cally. when millions of men able and
willing to work can find no employment
and must accept help to maintain eX,
istence.

THE government continues to run be-
hind about million day, while there
are projects which have received con-
gressional approval that will require
hundred million for the present year
With the almost total restitution OF the
thoughts of economy in the average
congressional mind, it is easy to see
what is going to happen to the treas
urv's working balance unless there
should be a mental and spiritual revo.

PhilipD tells what he hopes to accom-
plish in the way of reducing state ex.
penditures and the consequent relief
from the burdens of the taxpayers.
There is a good working majority with
the administration plans in both houses
of the legislature and the people will
expect them to get busy and accom-
plish the economy reforms voted Tor IN
November. There is lot OF work
waiting for the lawmakers. 60 to 1t.

DIR. PRATT FINDS
TWO BIG BREAKS
in CITY SEWER
Recommends Extension Of Out
fall; Conditions at Kalihi
Outlet Appalling

Two Recommendation for the ex.
tension Of both the main city sewer
outfall and the outfaii Of the Kalihi
sewage system we're made in the form
Of motions today by the health com
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce,
meeting to hear the report of DR.. J. s.
b. Pratt, president Of the territorial
board of health, In regard TO sewer
conditions Of the city.
DR. Pratt's reports on the main city
sewer, corroborated in detail the state
ment published In the Star.Bulletin
last July to the effect that there were
breaks in the sewer, and that fish for
market were being taken from the
contaminated water. The doctor rec
commended that the sewer be extended,
but said that unless some dangerous
epidemic broke out In the city 1t would
be impossible to make restrictions on
the fishing in that vicinity.
DR.. Pratt stated that there were two
good d-sized breaks beyond the reef, the
frs: one so large that Q boat could
not without difficulty be brought over
the place where the sewage pours ont.
Water Manager Harry Murray, who
was present, and who first reported
that divers had found no leak, said
today that he had been out in the har-
Dor of his own accord recently and
that he had found DR.. Pratt's state
ment correct Diver Terrill, who was
sent by US to investigate the sewer,
evidently fooled us on the job, he
said. @. T.. 5ss~5.t- 7a. s-
Al Kalihi, where the condition is
even worse than at the big outfall, "
the doctor says that there is scarcely
any current, bottle having floated
400 feet in IA hours, while other bot
ties returned to their starting point.
The entire Kalihi district sewage dis
charges here only 200 or 800 feet from
the shore, and remains until It grad
ually forms what is known as sludge.
The recommendation called for an ex-
tension Of the sewer outfall by the
city and county.
