MUST SUPPLY MEATS
America Must Enable European Farm
crs To Keep Every Animal Alive.


Manhattan. Kan. Feb. 10.-What
should America do to help her allies
in Europe to solve their livestock
problems? This question was an
swered by George Rommel, of the ami
NAL husbandry bureau, United States
dress at the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
THE United States" said Mr. Rom
mel, must supply meat and dairy
products in sufficient quantities to en-
able European farmers to keep alive
every animal needed for breeding pur-
poses. The more that America can
furnish these food products the more
readily and the sooner will Europe be
able to restock the devastated farms.
America will also furnish horses
both for agricultural purposes and for
city uses. The prices of horses in Eu-
rope are from two to four times what
they are in America. The trade in
horses will proba bly, develop as soon as
it is known how many horses will be
demobilized from the army, as soon as
shipping facilities will permit the
transportation of horses across the
ocean, and as soon as there are suf-
ficient feed supplies in Europe to sup
port a larger number of animals than
they now have.
IF America had sheep to spare we
would be called upon to furnish them.
AIneTlCd may NC SdiiSu uPOii ~
furnish dairy cows to restock Europe,
but this is a matter that will De deter
mined in the future.
Except horses, the export of live
animals from the United States is
doubtful"
Risk and expense were given by Mr..
Rommel as reasons why extensive ex-
port of livestock from the United
States is improbable. He pointed out
also that farmers prefer to buy stock
which is nearby, possesses known
characteristics and is acclimated.

Resolutions in Senate Take
Care of Aliens Plans.
MOntee Submits Taxation ResO-
luton to Senate Today.
ELECTION COULD DECIDE ISSUE
Constitutional Amendments
Would Provide Reforms.
M0ntee Idea Gives the LegiSla-
< ture Power in Taxes.

sAnother important change that Gov
ernor Allen wished to bring about
thru the writing of new state consti-
tuition will be brought about under the
old constitution if a resolution drawn
by Senator ]. w. Montee and ready to
be introduced in the upper house of
the legislature late this afternoon is
passed and voted upon favorab1y by
the people. This is a change in the
present tax law, permitting the legis-
lature to make any new tax regula
lions it sees fit to make.
Governor Allen has asserted that
one of the most vital needs of the state
at the present time is a new taxation
system, and the majority of the most
able minds of the state agree with
him in this. The Montee resolution
provides that the constitution be SO
may be devised by the legislature.
In his plea for a constitutional con-
vention Governor Allen asserted that
fully 20 per cent of the taxes paid in
Kansas are paid on visible property
while one-half of the actual property
in the state is in invisible assets and
fully one-half of this escapes taxation
altogether. In his appeal before the
joint session of the house and senate
he said that if the lawmakers of the
state had been trying to do so they
could not have worked a greater hard
snip on the poor man imam the present
system works when it permits the tax
ing of land under mortgage and the
taxing of the mortgage on this land.
The governor also asserted that a re-
vision of the tax system will be neces-
sary for any farm tenantry measure
to be passed that will discourage land
speculation.
All of these evils that Governor AL
len has mentioned can be corrected if
the -Montee resolution is PASSED and
the people amend the constitution so
that the legislature can put an en-
tirely new taxation system in force.
Furthermore. 1.-The resolution would
give the legislature power to put into
force any graduated scale of taxation
that it might deem necessary, exempt
ing any properties it saw fit to exempt

Here is the way it reads:
Section 1. The following proposition to
amend the constitution of the state of
kansns is hereby submitted to the duaIi-
ned electors of the state for their approval
or rejection: That sections 1 and y article

follows; Section 1. The legislature shall
nave power to establish and maintain an
equitable system for = raising state and
local revenue, and may classify the sub

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large

blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs mere trifle for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
