Propounds Some Questions
Nov, governor, please answer
these questions:
money was collected illegally and
that the merchants did not owe it,
why did you not, as governor, Volun-
tarfly refund this unlawfully col
lected money?
"Why did you ignore the regularly
elected tax collectors who are sworn
to do their duty?
"Did you think the tax collector of
each count vas ignorant and did
not know the law or his duty, or
that he would perjure himself and
not collect the taxes legally due? Did
you think the regular tax collectors
would not collect the taxes in order
to gain some support from the mer"
chants?
"Why did you appoint special col
leetors? Or did you want to reward
your past supporters or build up a
political machine?
why did you pay your special tax
collectors the great sum of $4,000
for collecting what the regularly
glad to collect for $1,000 or $4,000,
as provided for them by law?
why pay, even if your collectors
had collected only those taxes legally
due-Why pay, say, ABOUT $ZO,OOO
more than the state would have had
to pay, if this money had been col
| lected by the regular tax collectors?
eff your friends, these special tax
collectors, had to travel over the
state and pay their expenses, and
for that reason they were paid 90
per cent, and if special collectors
were necessary, why did you not APP
point a special collector in each
county and save the state many thou
sands of dollars?

FORMS OF LINING
MATERIAL
The Relative Action of Each In
Improving the Chemical and
Mechanical Conditions of Soils.
Assists in Decomposition Of Or
ganic Matter for Humus Sup
ply.
Makes Heavy Soils More crumbIy and
FriabIe for Better Root
Penetration.

The actions of lime on soils are
many fold 1t is the common impress
sion among many that it is Of value
only on low wet land which is common
ly assumed to be sour. Many persons
realize that soils become sour under
cultivation and that lime c0rFects
acidity, brt there are few who really
realize the Importance of its use or
the relative value of the different
forms and the action of each. On the
other hand, many farmers buy what
ever may be had without full consid-
Grafton of the relative value Of the diff
ferent materials that may be applied.
Lime is a plant food, and in many
cases its application may serve that
function. Generally soils contain
enough calcium to supply the require
ments of crops, but alfalfa and other
closely related crops require not only
a sweet soil, but enough lime to sup
ply their large needs of that element
The indirect actions of lime are even
greater than its effects as q food.
These effects are numerous and are
not the same on all soils. In heavy
soils lime improves the mechanical
condition and the capacity to take up
and hold moisture. 1t acts upon the
supply Of plant food stored in the soil
and assists the decomposition of or
ganic matter and mineral substances.
Most important of all is the influence
which lime exerts upon the micro
scopic life of the soil, so essential In
changing dormant to active forms of
plant food.
The mechanical effects Of lime are
intricate in nature and less well un-
derstood than the chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL effects, and yet they are
very important, though they are not
SO easily measured.
Burned lines are more effective in
this change than carbonate Q:me-
stone) forms. Every farmer who has
used burned, hydrated or prepared
slaked lime has undoubtedly noticed
that heavy soils become less sticky,
more crumbly, more friable, more east
ly cultivated, and water passes through
them more rapidly as result of in
creased porosity. They dry out more
readily after rain, and in spring,
blowing or planting is advanced. This
condition is brought about by the foe
culation or aggregation of the fine clay
particles.
Upon light soils the reverse is true.
Through the improved condition Of the
humus in the soil an application Of
lime increases the cohesive power OF
the soil, resulting in greater water
holding capacity, as well as an increas-
ed power to absorb moisture from be-
low by capillarity. While the reasons
are not clear, 1t is common experience
that limestone Is not as effective In
producing these physical effects on the
soil as is lime. Relatively small APP
plicatIons of lime may produce very
marked change in the character of the
soil. These physical effects are merely
supplemental to the chemical and bio
logical effects produced by lime, and
when all these are taken together they
account for the very general beneficial
results derived from the use OF lime.

New Haven Board
Asks Approval of
Mortgage ON Debt
Would Protect Bonds and
Other Indebtedness Out.
standing, Says President;
to Include U. S. Obligation

Directors of the New York, New
Haven Hartford Railroad Company
have recommended that stockhofdera
vote at meeting called for October
II on plan for creating a mortgage
which will cover the roads present in
debtedness, including approximately
SOS 100000 owed to the government.
In circular to shareholders E, J.
Pearson, president, said that the pro-
posed mortgage would furnish security
to the Director General in funding the
amount owing the railroad administra-
ton for period not exceeding ten
years with interest at per cent, pro-
vlded satisfactory security is fur
nished.
"lnasmuch as the company has no
general mortgage upon its property"
Mr.. Pearson explains, ait is proposed
that suitable mortgage be made prop
eriy protecting all bonds, notes and
other, evidences of indebtedness pre-
which the company is the maker or
which it has assumed through merger
or consolidation with the original
maker.
The proposed mortgage will author
ize not only the issue of bonds TO take
care of S66,OO0,0OO, the estimated
amount due the government, but also
bonds to secure such amounts as may
be advanced pursuant 10 the applica-
ton for loan from the United States
authorized in your vote at the annual
meeting of April Fl, 1920, SO that the
company's plans for additions, better
ments and any other improvements
necessary to give adequate service to
the public and to increase the earn
ing capacity of your property may be
carried out. 1t provides for refunding
of the company's indebtedness as Il
natures from time to time, and also
authorizes future issues of bonds at
such times as they may be advanta-
geously sold on the market to provide
funds for additions and betterments /"
The proposed mortgage, Mr.. Pearson
added, is not to be for fixed amount,
but maximum is set beyond which
no issue of bonds may be made. It
is provided in the mortgage that the
amount of bonds which at any time
may be issued and outstanding is lin
tied to an amount which, together with
all other outstanding indebtedness,
shall not exceed twice the amount Of
capital stock plus twice the amount Of
in the balance sheet of the company as
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
When the government took control
of the New Haven on January l, 1918,
the company had floating debt Of
S44,0O0,O0O, which it is proposed to pay
off by an issue Of 7 per cent preferred
stock The Director General of Rail-
roads, however, refused to approve the
new stock issue, and in lieu thereof
loaned the road s43,964,OO0 for two
years at per cent. An additional
sum of s17,00o,0o0 was expended by
the government for additions and bet
terments
