The Phone Injustice

TELEPHONE rates are a form of taxation.
They are the phone companys tax on
the people for service.
1t remained for the state public service
commission to show that there's rank diff
ference between the basis on which the phone
company pays taxes TO the people and the
one on which it collects taxes FROM the
people.
When it's the company's turn to pay, it
says all its properties in King county, includ-
ing its franchise value, are worth only
$4,55S,724.
But when it comes to collect taxes from
the people il secures the cooperation of the
state commission in demanding the right to
earn fair return on Sc, 799, 9O2 IN THE
CITY OF SEATTLE ALONE.
That discrepancy alone means injustice
to the public.
And the fact that the company is to be
permitted to charge $3.50 fee for INSTALL
ing a phone simply adds to the injustice.
No record appears of any effort by the
state to make the phone company tax the
people on the same basis it pays taxes to
them.
There may be some solace for the people,
however, if the taxing authorities do their
duty and make the company pay taxes on its

DESTROY CORN STUBDLE.
Farmers Can Reduce Damage from
Corn Stalk Borer by Turning
Under Stubble In Fall.

Corn stubble should not be allowed
to stand in the field all winter undis-
turbed. The corn stalk borer Is one
OF the reasons" for this. This insect
Is one Of the most notorious corn
pests Of the South and evidence OF its
work can be seen in practically any
corn field at harvest time. II Is the
cause of the holes that may occur in
any portion Of stalk
The corn stalk borer remains as a
larva, or worm, in the base of corn
stubble beneath the ground during the
winter. Farmers do this insect
great favor, therefore, when they let
their corn stubble stand undisturbed
In the field during fall and winter.
Destroying corn stubble Is not very
easy, except on modernly equipped
farms where there is sufficient horse
power and tho stubb!e can be turn
ed under thoroughly There Is, there
fore, somc temptation to leave it un.
disturbed. But tho advantages OF
turning stubble are such that a farm.
er cannot well afford not to do it.
Turning it under helps very much in
reducing tho corn stalk borcr for
the next season.
Where thorough turning cannot be
practiced. there are other methods
such as busting out" the s.ubble and
hauling it TO the compost heap for rot
ting. BY another method, after the
corn Is gathered, stalks, stubble, and
everything else may be busted out"
raked into heaps and, after a few
weeks for drying, burned. In expert
mental work very large percentage
OF corn stalk borer larvae (worms)
was destroyed during winter where
the stubble was plowed out and left
exposed TO the weather.
But when these methods are praS.
ticed by farmers only here and there,
1t will not help the situation very
much. The control Of the corn stalk
borer depends upon the cooperative
action OF the farmers OF a community.
The fact must also be- borne in
mind that 1t Is an extravagant prac-
tice to let corn fields lie idle and ex-
posed during the winter months, not
only on account OF these insect pests,
but also on account of the loss from
washing and teaching OF soils.
