way, reversing and remanding
the case, with directions, all judg-
es cOncurring.
This case was instituted in
1911 by AM. Curtis, then prose
cutting attorney, assisted by H.
E. Frink, against the railroad
company because of the com.
pany's refusal to pay school taxes
except on the basis of 65c on the
800 valuation, when in fact, the
levies in Mansfield, Norwood,
Hartville and Mountain Grove
were more than that amount.
Rural districts cannot levy ov-
er Csc, but town and city dis.
tricts may levy as high as 81.
The railroad company contended
that the above mentioned We're
rural districts because they had
territory outside of the
corporate limits.
In the circuit court the rail
road Won, but by the supreme
court decision the county wins
and the railroad must now pay
for five years back the portion of
school taxes which they have fail
ed to pay, which will amount 10
about $500 for the four districts.

Gardner at Mountain Grove


hbuHJulIl pltNt, IuN ~.
"MountainGrove Makes Good .
Our town lived up to its slogan
last Thursday when the corner
stone was laid for the $50, ZOO
high school building. The en-
tire program was carried out as
scheduled Notwithstanding the
rain threatened at times to drive
guests and hosts under cover.
Indeed, at noon. after the morn.
ing exercises in the park were
concluded and it looked as if an
all day rain had started, the com,
mittee decided to hold the after
noon speaking in theatre and an
announcement to that effect was
made from the band stand by j.
Frank Neighbors. But it turned
out that the weather man had
other and pleasanter plans. For
just as the impressive Masonic
ritual was finished the sun came
out in a burst of splendor, the
trees, wet by the long downpOur,
sparkled as though sprinkled
with diamond dust and the
heavy masses of clouds rolled
away disclosing a sky of serene,
approving blue.
So it was under such benig.
nant auspices that Col. Freder-
ick ID. Gardner, of st. Louis,
who delivered the address of the
day, began to speak.
Colonel Gardner chose for his
subject "Problems of Our Day
But the great crowd that had
gathered to hear him felt, of
course, that he would devote a
good part of his time to discus
sion of the famous Missouri
Land Bank bill of which he is
the author, and which has made
Colonel Gardner'S name known
in every county, city and village
of Missouri. And the audience
was not disappointed, because
Colonel Garner not only eX'
planned his land bank bill but
made it clear just why such Il
measure was necessary if the
Missouri farmer were TO be tho
prosperous citizen which Gods
bounty to this great state in
, tended he should be.
But while the Land Bank bill
contemplatcs the financial eman
cipatiOn of the Missouri farmer
' Colonel Gardner in his speecl
made it plain that besides low
y interest rates other thing:
would have to be done if country
life in Missouri were to reacl
its full flower. He dwelt a
length upon the power of educa
ton, which, under the circum
: stances, was peculiarly appio
3, pirate. He showed how, by ed
t ucation, Germany had converted
q thin, inferior soil into u won
1 derful fertility. He also pointed
0 out what other states we're dc
p ing for their country schools
notably Wisconsin, where ever,

will be eagerly bought admits of
no question, because the Sc.
curity back of them is the best
security in the world, namely,
the rich land of Missouri.
1t is figured that eventually
this MissOari Land Bank will
bring into the state one hundred
million dollars, or almost a mil.
lion dollars to each county.
Now, the 81 per cent which
the Missouri farmer pays to the
Missouri Land Bank not only
takes care of the interest but it
also pays off the principal, so
that in 25 years the entire debt
is discharged. The fact is that
the actual interest which the
farmer pays is 4.3. The addi.
tional 2.2, which makes up the
81, is applied to the discharge
of the debt and the operation of
the system. The tremendous
value of this plan to the Missouri
farmer is easily understood in
view of the fact that under pres
ent conditions he has to pay 8,
sometimes 10 per cent, and
sometimes even a higher rate of
interest, while the principal
continues intact Not only that,
but there are times when the
Missouri farmer has difficulty
borrowing money at any rate of
interest, and always his loans
are for short period say five
years at the while the
matter of renewal is always
costly and the more he needs
money the harder and more
costly is the renewal.
Colonel Gardner expressed
great pleasure at being able to
spend day in Mountain Grove
and repeatedly spoke about the
beauty of the city and the evi,
dences of prosperity and pro-
gress here, and the delightful
hospitality that had been ac.
corded him. At the conclusion
of his address he was taken for
a hurried trip to the Poultry and
Fruit Experimental stations. "
don't have to preach the value OF
education to the farmers OF
Wright county," he said. Down
here you know what it is doing.
You know that the Missouri hen
annually produces a value great.
er than the combined production
of gold in three of our Rocky
Mountain states. and that in
apples, peaches and the smaller
fruits Missouri now holds q
commanding place. Those fine
results are traceable directly tc
the wonderful work that is being
done here in Mountain Grove

high school has a 4.year agricul,
tural course that in thorough
ness compares with the course
at our State University. We
must teach agriculture in our
country schools" he said, so
that the boy and girl in the
country will be equipped to sue
ceed in country life; so that they
will realize that agriculture, the
Oldest vocation in civilization, is
also the nobleSt and that it offers
the same opportunities for sue
cess that any other profession
presents to the heart ofambi
tious youth"
One of the most effective prop.
oSitiOns advanced by Colonel
Gardner was that for financing
good roads. II would put a tax
of $40 a year on the owner of
every automobile in Missouri, !"
he exclaimed. That would
bring into the state revenue ap
proXimately a million dollars. |
would levy that tax for five
years, which would mean five
million dollars, and | would take
the 2GOO convicts in the peniten-
tiary and with that money |
would build rock roads across
Missouri in all directions.
Does it seem too much to
spend five million dollars in five
years on road building in Mis-
souri,: Why, New York has just
issued one hundred million in
bonds for good roads, and the
neighboring state of Arkansas,
which has nothing like Mis-.
souri's wealth, has arranged to
spend s., 100000 during the en-
suing year on good roads"
The operation of the Missouri
Land Bank, if the people ratify
the Gardner Land Bank bill, is
simple. The state is to lend a
million dollars to the Missouri
Land Bank which this law ere
ates. The bank will be under
the direction of a board of gov.
ernors consisting of the COVER
nor of the state, secretary OF
state, attorney general, state
treasurer and state auditor. 1t
will be directly managed by the
state bank commissioner. No
new offices will be created by
the law and no additional eX
pense put on the state. The
Missouri Land Bank will loan
money to farmers up to 30 pen
cent of the appraised value OF
their land, the highest individ
ual loan, however, being limited
to $4,000. This money will bt
loaned at 81 per cent interest
the loans being secured by deeds
of trust or farm mortgages
Against those mortgages bonds
will be issued. When So00,O0o
or half of the million which tn,
state loans To the bank, has beel
loaned out to Missouri farmers
then bonds in the amount o
$500, 900, bearing 3 per cent in
: terest, will be issued and put o.
