to force any division whatever. Either the profit wrested from the packers would go to the consumer in the form of lower prices or to the cattlc-raiser in the form of higher prices. But one or the other would be pretty certain to monopolize any benefit which might acrue from the action of Congress. And it is only by assuming that the packers make an inordinate profit that one can conceive it possible for Congress to accomplish either one of it's pur poses.
 We do not imply, in saying this. that the beefsteak is not higher than it ought to be, measured by the price of beef steers. On the con trary, there is apparently great disparity. But that disparity may be chargable as much to the retail butchers as to the packers, and pos sibly more to the organization of the business of producing, slaughtering and distributing meat than to the packers and butchers combined. MT. Lasater, when he appeared before a committee of Congress, declared that the present methods are extravagant rather than economical, and there is good deal of reason for thinking that he may be correct.

view of the action of the Federal Gov
eminent, State Land Bank was then
unnecessary.
We can now see that the Governor
looked much farther into the future
than many of US did. He foresaw
then the ultimate necessity for a
State Land Credit System. What a
wonderful thing it would be if the
people had voted favorably upon the
Governors proposition and under his
great administration he had been able
to establish and place in motion the
machinery whereby these long-term
loans could have been made by Mis-
souri, farmers at low rates of inter-
est!
1t will be remembered at that time
one OF the arguments used against
the Governors proposition was that
the State had no money. The Gov
ernor promised the people if they
elected him Governor, he would find
the money with which to capitalize
the bank. and how'well he has carried
out his promise! All people know that
the Governor has paid off all the
States debts of $500, 900; that he has
made the penitentiary self-supporting;
that, VIXEN he goes out of office jan
uary LIST, he will leave on hand an I'M
appropriated cash balance in the Cen
eral Revenue Fund Of $1,000, 900 for
the purpose Of establishing this land
bank. In the event that the Federal
system is finally thrown out by the
Supreme Court and declared unconsti-
tutional, then the voters Of this state
should arise, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, and demand of the Gov
ernor that he re-enter public life for
the purpose Of establishing for them a
State Land Bank in Missouri.
The time has come and gone when
the farmer. the producer of the wealth
of the nation, should be compelled to
get on his knees and beg for the use of
the money which he produces, and
then be compelled to pay high rates
of interest, besides commissions on his
loans. Gardeners leadership 10 this
great movement should be demanded
by the farmers Of this State.--Omar
D. Gray's Sturgeon Missouri eLader.

ment thereof. The subsequent act Of
the legislature provided for a high
way improvement loan board and lin
ted the annual expenditure or issuance
of bonds to s5,00O,0O0 a year.
"Some idea of the extent of the
work done by the California Highway
Commission may be gained from the
fact that in 1918. the state depart
ment was maintaining 1900 miles of
completed paved highways, 1877 miles
of highways which had been county
roads and taken over from the coun-
ties by the highway commission, when
it was found that such roads were
parts of the state highway system,
and 683 miles of what are known as
mountain roads. This represents to-
tai of 1890 miles of completed high
ways which the highway commission
had already constructed or taken ,ov-
er and which now form problem Of
maintenance.
"Ohio's road laws are not identical
with the laws of other progressive
states but they are, in way, very
similar. The state highway depart
ment has broad powers in engineer
ing construction supervision, inspec-
ton, and superintendent. The high
ways of the state operate more or less
under the absolute supervision of the
state highway department.
Minnesota in November, voted on
what is known as the Babcock plan,
for a state trunk highway system,
passing through each of the counties
Of the state. Under the provision of
tie legislative act all money raised
for state purposes shall be used on
the roads designated in the trunk or
Babcock system.

GARDNER AND
THE LAND BANKS

1t is now generally conceded that
the bankers and Eastern loan agents
who formerly reaped such rich har.
vest in the real estate loans to the
farmers have effectually succeeded in
tying up the operation of the Federal
Land Banks through court proceed
ings. The Federal Land Banks have
ceased to function for the present, at
least, and as to whether they will ever
be able to reopen depends upon de-
cisions of the Supreme Court.
But all of this brings to our minds
wildly the gallant fight made by our
present Governor, Frederick D. Gard
ner, five years ago for the establish
ment of State Land Bank system.
1t will be remembered that Gardner
originated what was known as the
Gardner Land Bank SYSTEM" hav-
ing for its purpose the establishment
by the State of Missouri of Land
Bank to loan money to the farmers on
twenty-five years time, with small
annual payments, and very low rates
of interest.
The state was to then issue bonds
against these farm leans, sell the
bonds on the markets of the world,
and use the proceeds therefrom to
make additional loans to the Missouri
farmers.
The system worked out by the Gov
ernor was pronounced by the Nation
ial Grange and other farm organiza-
tons as the simplest and most effec-
tive ever designed in the United
States. The Governor proposed that
the state of Missouri should capitalize
this land bank for the benefit of the
farmers with $1.000,000, and that the
bank should be operated under the d.
rection of the State Bank Commits
sioner. Unfortunately, just about
that time, the subject was taken up
by the Federal Government, and
Federal law was passed. establishing
Federal Land Banks, so that, when
the question came before the voters Of
this State in November. 1916, the Gov
ernor's proposition failed to carry,

Method Used in Illinois
"Our neighbor state, Illinois, offers
excellent ground work for road legis-
lation. In Illinois, however, the sit
uation with respect to the $60,000,000
passed by that state was somewhat
different from the situation in Missou-
ri. Illinois, in the legislative act
which placed the matter before the
voters, embodied q number of laws re-
lating to the expenditure of the mon
ey and the manner of its expenditure.
"Illinois voters knew definitely
when they voted on the 100000, 900
bond issue that the roads which were
to be constructed with the money
would be certain primary roads des-
ignated by law and specifically de-
scribed in the legislative act as
routes. These routes numbered as. |
The legislative act describing these
routes indicated specifically where the
roads were to begin and then listed |

nois law goes into the question of au-

Probably the latest development of
the route plan of state highway con-
struction is found in Kentucky's most
recent regulations. This law was
passed early in 1919, and as yet may
be said not to have had a clear op-
portunity to demonstrate its utility,
but it represents a departure in
plans and merits attention.
The principle of the Kentucky law
nay be called simultaneous construc-
ion.
"This provides that construction
work on the state highways shall be-
gin simultaneously in fifty-one des-
grated towns and cities. These are
he prominent towns and cities of the
tate through which the highway sys-
EN- passes, and the theory of the
aw is thta simultaneous construction
will result in simultaneous compile

vides that construction work which

ing. In addition, he reviews what has
been done in this state, and desig-
mates some of the things which must
be done to give to Missouri full bene-
fit of the outlay it's voters have au-
thorized. He says:
"The right to issue bonds for the
construction of a comprehensive high
way system having been ratified by
the people of the state and placed in
the hands of the legislature, carries
with it an obligation on the part of
the legislature to draft and enact the
most forceful, workable, concise,
equitable and progressive road meas
ure ever placed upon the statute books
of the state.
Some Essentials of the Law
After explaining that every county
will have chance to be heard and
that Gov. Hyde and those in his adj
ministration will be consulted as to
all Of the details, he continues:
Fundamentally the new law must
include among its salient features
some of the following provisions:
directing and authorizing the is
suance of bonds.
directing the creation of a sing
ing fund to pay for the bonds, and
safeguarding this fund
Designating either: % the roads
upon which the $60,000,O00 is to be
spent; or (2) designating a highway
system upon which there shall be
spent in each county that county's

Creating the machinery which is
to supervise the distribution and ex-
penditure of this fund, either by con-
tinuing the present highway depart
ment, creating a new department, or
amending the laws creating the pres
ent department, so as to change the
system now in effect under the pres
ent highway administration.
