Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ALBANY, Nov. 30.-Gloom descended
upon Albany to o-day when it was learned
Governor elect Miller is determined to
stand by his program Of rigid economy
and refuse to permit great increases
in the cost of the state government.
State employees who have been look
ing forward to sweeping pay increases
are seeing their hopes shattered, while
many fear curtailrlcnt of the states
payroll through the consolidation of de-
partments. The excise department is
doomed to go out Of existence and there
is probability that the department of
narcotic drug control will be dovetailed
in with the state health department.
1t is possible that the highway depart
mcnt may be consolidated with the
state engineers Office.
Sage Demands Change of Policy
The 1922 budget requests are the
largest in the history of the state,
totalng about 221,oOo,Oo0. Senator
Henry NJ. Sage, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, in discussing the
financial situation, declared to-day that
it is time the state called a halt and
effected a change of policy.
"The administration Of the states
business and the enforcement of it's
laws are, believe, all the people should
expect of the state" said Senator Sage.
l,o;,,
the Legislature through hysteria and
public pressure. The Legislature is not
so much to blame as the people them
selves. The tendency is to let the state
shoulder all the burdens.
"Take, for example, the teachers
salary bill passed by the Legislature
last year. This law is going to bring
the schools into politics a S they never
were before. The payment of adequate
;saaries for teachers should be mat
ter of conscience with those whose
children are being educated"
Pruning or Higher Taxes
Senator Sage said that unless Gov
the appropriation bill to a considerable
extent it will mean that the tax rates
on individual and corporation incomes
will be greatly increased.
IF business goes to pieces during
the period of reconstruction, as it aap-
parently is doing, we will not be able
to get one-half the income from cor
poration and income taxes this year
that we did last year." he said. "This
will mean more than doubling the rate,
which, in view of the plan of the Fed
eral government to raise its taxes, will
impose an excessively heavy burden on
individuals"
Senator Sage believes the state should
pass to the cities some of the duties 1T
has assumed from time to sine. He
would have the cities make factory in
spections instead of the state; he would
abolish the board Of wardens Of the
Port Of New York; he would have those
who use the highways autoists--
pay for their maintenance through in
creased license costs, and would have
those who use the states forest for
hunting, camping and fishing pay for
the maintenance Of the conservation
commission.

Woman Held for Plot
To Give Away a Baby
Husband of Mrs. Cont Calls Po-
lice When He Finds Infant
in Wife's Arms

Nature taking in the realm of the
stork, however we'll meaning, is a very
dangerous business, as MS. Armenia
Coppa learned yesterday in the Flush
ing Magistrates Court.
Mrs. Coppa admitted having been a
party to the plot by which Mrs. Car
mella Cont procured three days old
baby and announced to her husband
that it was hers. Mrs. Coppa pro-
tested volubly that she thought she
was doing two women a kindness.
"Thc baby's mother wanted to find
a good home for her little girl. She
could not support her And Mrs. Cont
wanted baby. So what was the
harm? ?" Thus did Mrs. Cont voice
her perplexity at the mazes of Ameri-
can law yesterday afternoon in her
retired after providing $500 bail.
The baby belonged to Mrs. Maria
Francisco, Of 322 West Thirty-frst
Street, who is said to have given up
the child willingly.
Mrs. Coppa and the Francisco baby
were brought to the Cont home
through the agency of Mrs. Josephine
Russo, friend of Mrs Cont All
went we'll until Mr.. Cont arrived
home and found the strange women
and the small baby, the latter in his
wife's arms. Then he called the
police
Mrs. Coppa declared that she never
had seen the baby nor Mrs Russo until
the woman called at her home and
said she was locking for child to be
adopted by hen friend Mrs. Cont.
Mrs. Coppa said she made inquiries
among the other midwives od the
italian colony and finally heard
that Mrs. Francisco would be willing
to give AWAY her hahv

URGED TO STORE CROPS

| Arrangements should be made by
grain this fall in view of the positive
certainty that the railroads will be
unable to provide sufficient cars 10
move promptly the grain crops, says
circular issued by George A. Wells,
of Des Moines, secretary of the West
ern Grain Dealers association.
There is a shortage of 250,OO0 box
cars in this country" says the circu-
lar 1T requires the construction Of
nearly 100000 box cars annually to
make good the depreciation of box
car equipment. There were very few
box cars constructed during the war
period, There are only about $4,000
box cars under construction at the
present time. Not more than 25 per
cent Of the total number of box cars
in service at this time are suitable
for bulk grain loading. A large mum
Der OF box cars are held in cOngested
districts at terminals and delayed on
sidetracks by embargoes because Of
congestion. Congress has appropri-
ated $300,000,O00 as revolving fund
to assist the railroads in financing
their business, a portion of which is
available for the building of box car
equipment Labor conditions will de.
lay the work of building new box cars.
1T is positively certain that the
railroads will be unable to provide
sufficient cars to move promptly the
grain crops this fall, and it will be a
serious problem for both the country
grain dealer and farmer Under ex-
isting stringent financial conditions
it will be impossible for many country
grain dealers to finance grain to be
accumulated in store waiting for cars
to be placed for loading
Considering these conditions, it will
certainly be to the advantage of the
farmer to prepare to meet the situa-
tion to the best possible advantage
by making plans to stack the grain
in the fields, and to store the grain
after it is threshed and thus be able
to market the grain as cars are pro-
vided and avoid the result of heavy
selling pressure On market values.
The grain should Ie stacked or
threshed and stored and not allowed
to remain in the shocks subject to
damage by rains"

WRITES FROM NORTH DAKOTA

II. Howard Biggar, editor of the
Dakota Farmer at Aberdeen in writ
ing a business letter to the Register
says: 81 am on a three weeks investi-
gational trip for the Dakota Farmer
through North Dakota and | spent the
past three days in investigating the
potato industry in Walsh county. +.
c. Hathaway, a graduate of State col
lege, ~, is the county agent here and
he is doing some real effective work
and is decided credit to the state.
Yesterday we drove for hours through
the heart of the potato belt of this
county and it was a revelation to me-
There is considerable natural timber,
splendid farm homes many OF them
modern to the last degree and potato
fields everywhere. Saw one field of
200 acres. Wheat and other crops
are the best have ever seen and the
whole region beats anything in the
line Of real farming and real surround
ings that l have seen anywhere, even
in the heart of Illinois and Iowa.

WELL GAS KILLS
FARMER At V0LGA
ORIE VAN ROEkEU FALLS INTO
WELL WHEN TRYING TO
CLEAN IT
ACCIDENT OCCURRED SATURDAY NOON
The Deceased Leaves Widow and
Two Children to Mourn His
Tragic Death.

Orie Van Roekel Of Volga, was
killed almost instantly last Saturday
noon by we'll gas when he fell into
a well which he intended to clean.
The well was practically new, but had
not been yielding much water and
Mr.. Won Roekel thought that quick
sand had clogged it up He went out
alone with few tools and rope with
the intention of going down in the
fifty-foot well to clean out the quick
sand from the bottom. He was evi-
IDENTIFY overcome by the gas immedi-
ately upon entering the well and fell
to the bottom where he was found
some time later He had been warned
of the gas but he was of the opinion
that there was not enough to do any
harm. Bert Rude, the county coroner,
says that in an investigation of the
well it was found that the gas extin-
guiShed a lantern held three feet above
the well. The gas killed a chicken
in ten seconds when lowered about
fifteen feet in the well. The deceased
leaves a widow and two children to
mourn his tragic death. The bereaved
have the deep sympathy Of the entire
community.

PLAN TO MOVE CROPS

George w. Cobel returned Tuesday
evening from Sioux Tails where he at
tended conference of the state bank
ers and railroad superintendent held
for the purpose Of finding relief from
the car shortage and guaranteeing am
pie facilities to the farmers this fall
in order that grain and livestock may
be speedily moved to the market. Mr..
Cobel is member Of the transporta-
tiOn committee of the State Bankers
association who wish to help in every
way possible to quicken the move
ment Of grain and livestock to market
III order - relieve financial condi-
tions. The bankers stated that unless
the grain and livestock now in the
hands Of the farmers and elevators
could be speedily removed, it would
be impossible for the banks to fur
nish the necessary money to market
the new crop which will be ready to
be moved in about sixty days. 1t de-
veloped at the meeting that the car
situation had already improved and
that transportation was at least so
per cent normal.

ALLIGATOR HUNT

The residents of Bradley are getting
out their guns these days and going
alligator hunting not one alligator but
whole family. A farmer, a Mr..
Rhodes, living a few miles out Of town,
was working in his hay field loading
on the rack, and when he put his fork
into one of the cocks he unearthed an
alligator and family of little ones. The
reptile Immediately attempted to drive
him off and was not only successful
but frightened his horses into running
away. They were soon stopped by the
owner, who was glad to gain the
refuge of the wagon as the alligator
was making very good headway in
the chase and was advancing with
jaws spread wide.
A small reptile circus showed at
Bradley on July 8 and in the big storm
that evening their tent blew down
and it is the theory at Bradley that
one of the alligators escaped and later
found refuge in the hay field where
she was caring for her young. Many
of the places of business at Bradley
closed that day so that the proprie-
tors might join in the unusual hunt.
Reports are varied some saying that
the alligator had been shot and others
stating that it had been driven into
slough.

CATTLE HAVE PINK EYE

A contagious disease commonly
known as pink eye is affecting many
cattle of all ages in South Dakota at
the present time, says DR.. g. S
Weaver, extension specialist in ami
NAL diseases at State college.
+ Pink eye, or specific opthalmia, is
characterized by intense Inflammation
of the eyes, the eyeballs white and
temporary blindness. Tears and pus
run down the face of the animal. The
disease is accompanied by fever and
partial loss of appetite.
Since the disease is contagious the
first principle in prevention is to iso
late the sick animal by putting him
in a dark cool place. Put the unaf
fected animals in another pasture il
possible. The sick animal should be
treated by washing the eyes with a
three per c, ut boracic acid solution
II 1t is necessary to give laxative
use a pound of epson salts. Usually
the animal will recover in ten days
to two weeks, but some may die OF
lose their sight.

HANSEN DEVELOPS
NEW RASPBERR|ES
WELL KNOWN HORTiCUlTURlST
AT STATE COLLEGE ORlGI-
MATES NEW SEEDING
PLANTS HAVE NOT BEEN NAMED YET
Fruit Has a Sweet Flavor and ls
Firm ~ Will Be Important
Commercially.

Professor N. E. Hansen, horticul
turist at State college, is this year
directing special attention to several
new seedlings developed from the wild
red raspberries from the mountain
region near Rapid City. The Black
Hills region is famous for it's wild red
raspberries.
These new seedlings have not yet
been named and are not the largest
of the many new hybrid seedlings
fruiting this year. But they are really
remarkable for their excellent sweet
flavor and above all for the firmness of
berry, which is especially important
from the shipping standpoint. In adj
dition these new seedlings are practi-
cally thornless, which is an advantage
from the picker's standpoint They
are now being propagated for distri-
button.
Black Hills people who pick the
wild raspberries are urged to mark
the plants as free from thorns as pos
sible and bearing the largest, best fla
vored and firmest berries, and write
to Mr.. Hansen.
For many years the wild raspber-
ries of the northwest have been grown
at State college The object of this
work is to originate new varieties that
would be hardy without winter pro-
lection of any kind. To lay down the
canes every fall and cover with earth
and manure is work that does not
appeal to the average man in county
or town gardens.
Wild raspberries from many parts of
North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Manitoba and Saskatchewan have been
tested and many thousands of seed
lings raised.
The best out of the first 1000 seed
lings was named Sunbeam. Ohta was
the best out Of the next 5000 both
of them hybrids with standard cult
waited sorts. Sunbeam is now largely
known throughout the Dakotas and
is the only one really successful over
large part of the Canadian north
west. Ohta is much larger but has not
yet had time to become so widely
known.
