parts required would be two beams
for the runners, one roller for the
tongue, one roller for the short reach,
the four braces and two draw rods
heightened. The old beams could be
kept for repair holsters. Turn them
up side down, bore the stake holes
and they are ready TO bolt on; espe-
eially those of the steel knee sleighs
most commonly used Other types
may need some trimming but the
beams need not be wasted: lust the
rollers would be of little or no prac-
teal use.
The price paid for making such a
change would be small in comparison
to the value it would be to the user
according to the facts at hand. The
small investment would not be missed
along with getting good returns. Are
not Wisconsin farmers of today
wealthy to those of a hundred years
ago? And would they not be strug-
Cling in the same old way, had they
not the ambition to increase their ca
pacity, which they did through the in
PRODUCTION of improved and invented
implements as their needs in progress
demanded? The binder, the telephone,
the gasoline engine and the automo-
bile are among the things of high val
ne in use on the farm, and they all
had hard start. And now the wide
sleigh is starting just as hard, but il
will go just as easy as the others do
when few more take hold and raise
it to the top, which they will as they
did the others. In conclusion | wish
to offer thanks to Mr.. Hanson and
Mr.. Getter for this opportunity and
of course we are all thankful to the
Censor. Yours truly,
Here's One Against the Proposition
Editor Censor: AS a reader of
your paper l notice that some favor
the wide sleigh. ] agree with Willard
Getter and others, that the wide sleigh
law is no good, There were people
living here before, and if the wide
sleigh had any advantage over the
narrow it would have been built years
ago. The only reason l can see for
this wide sleigh law, is that the car
drivers think we farmers and other
teamsters will drive down a well beat
entrack for them to use, and when we
meet them they expect us to turn out,
often times in narrow roads, with the
danger of going over the end; and
when we turn into the tracks again,
find them all dug up and mixed with
earth, and then they expect US to draw
loads over this kind of road.
The car has not displaced the horse
yet. | have not noticed one yet that
has drawn load of hay or a cord of
wood. Must we be forced to use wide
sleighs and make the labor for our
horses more laborious, just for the
sake of making the pleasures of the
car driver more pleasant? If this is
not the reason, then what difference
does it make what kind of a sleigh we
use. The idea of the wide sleigh must
have been launched by some plug hat
auto driver ano we need such fellows
as Willard Getter and others to put a
good dent in it. Some of these fell
lows will tell us next what color tie
we should wear, also which way to
part our hair.

u. S. DEBT INCREASES
DURING NOVEMBER
Reduction of S3O0,COO,O 600
Expected From Gross In
Debtedness by Jan. /.

Washington -I4espite the increase
of S112,646,571 in the public debt dur
ing November announced by the treas
urv. officials of the department de-
clared Thursday that at the end of the
year a reduction of $300,OOO,0O0 could
be expected from the gross debt OF
$24 100000, as it stood on Septem-
Der 80.
On November 80 the nations debt
was $24,175, 156,244, compared with
$24,062, 509,6 on October 30. Officials
explained, however. that the Novem-
Der Is issue of treasury certificates
amounting to S232 100000, with only
1874 900 900 in certificates maturing in
the month was mainly responsible for
the increase.
Reduction in the public debt is only
possible as tax instruments come due
quarterly, officials declared. With jul
dicious financing it was confidently
asserted that the last quarter of this
year would show a reduction Of from
$10O,0 900 900 to 100000, GEO from the
september totals.
Nearly $70O,000000 of treasury GER
tificates mature December IS, it was
stated, with approximately $65o,OO0,-
600 due the treasury from income and
excess profits taxes to meet this debt.
But the semi-annual interest aggregat-
ing about $140,000,000 on the first Lib
erty loan and the Victory Liberty loan
also is payable December 10, and in adj
dition ordinary requirements not COW
cred by current receipts are to be met
through issuance of treasury certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness.
Despite these liabilities, it was as
serted, if there is no unexpected drain
on the government, such as the $780,
100000 cOught by the railroads under
the transportation act, or legislation
calling for financing Of farmers, steady
reduction in the public debt will CON
tinue, as it has quarterly from the war
peak of S26,596, 701 ,548 to the Septem
Der 80 total of $24 ,0SI356,12S.

CONTROL OF GRAVEL AND ROCK
DEPOSITS PROBLEM FOR
CONVENTION.
SHOULD CONSERVE WEALTH
Que stion Of Public Ownership Of GraV-
ell Deposits is Being Agrtated IN
Several Parishes at This
Time.

LAFAYETTE. ~ Steps should be taken
by the approaching Constitutional
Convention TO protect the mineral re-
sources and the gravel and rock de-
posts of the state SO as to prevent
Louisiana from being denuded OF her
vast natural wealth, in the opinion OF
the State Senator j. r. DomengeauX
OF Lafayette.
Louisiana" Senator DOmengeauX
said, has been blessed by many or
natures moss valuable gifts, but here
tofore they have not been used or de-
yeloped to the best advantage OF the
state Within a few years our great
timber forests will be denuded, IN
less steps are taken to check the wan
ton waste. 1t will not be long before
as oil, as, etc, will be exhausted un-
less they art properly conserved.
Ways and means should be devils
ed by the Constitutional Convention
TO not only conserve this natural
wealth, but to provide methods
whereby the state can get more reve-
nue. out Of it, These are gifts to the
people and the state is entitled to
even larger proportion OF revenue
than 1t is getting through the efforts
of Governor Parker. | think the state
should get 5 per cent of the sales
value OF these products, instead OF 2
per cent.
1.-The Constitutional Convention
should also devise a way to enable the
state to control our gravel anu rock
deposits. These materials are needed
in the construction mad maintenance
of public roads and highways Louis
lana must have a system of modern
roads that will penetrate every sec
ton Our state cannot grow and pros
per as it should without highways
I'VE have vast deposits Of rock and
gravel in many OF our parishes, es-
pecially in the northern and central
section OF the state and in Florida
parishes. Some Of these deposits
have already been gobbled up by
large syndicates and the syndicates
are reaching out for more.
The question Of public ownership
of gravel deposits is being agitated in
several parishes, but up to this time
Ouachita is the only parish that is
known to have taken steps to protect
itself in obtaining possession of road
building material. Ouachita parish
has purchased a gravel deposit near
Monroe and is using the material in
building highways.
