TILE DRANvGE
IS THE BEST
TWENTY-THREE COUNTIES HAVE
MODEL SYSTEMS LAID DOWN.

Brookings, Feb. 20.-Fifty-seven
model farm drainage systems have
been completed in % counties of
South Dakota under the direction of
the state college extension engineer
and county agents. More than 100
preliminary surveys have been made
and estimates of cost given for addi-
tional demonstration systems. The
systems already installed are well
scattered, the plan being that they
shall not be closer than five miles
apart.
Ralph L. Patty, extension engineer,
says that tile drainage is no expert
mental work. ''It has been demon
strated long ago." he says. that land
drained by tile and drained right, Is
the best producing land on the farm.
in either a wet or dry season. 1t
has also been demonstrated that il
pays to hire a good engineer (not a
surveyor) to lay ont the system, stake
out the grade, figure the sizes of the
tile required and make other recon-
mendations necessary to successful
and permanent system. After the
grade is TAXED out the tile must. of
course, be laid by a tiler who under
stands how to lay tile to an engineer s
grade by using targets. The object
should be to have the work done
right the first time and thereby save
to South Dakota the millions OF dol
lars lost in eastern states through
guesswork."

LOWDEN OPENS
DAKOTA CAMPAIGN
REFORM IN FEDERAL BUDGET
SYSTEM URGED.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 2O.-"There
never was more need of reorgani.
zation of government at Washington
on business basis than at the pres
ent time," declared Gov. Frank O.
Lowden of Illinois, minority republi-
can candidate for president at the
March primaries, in an address here
Mr.. Lowden's speech marked. the
opening of the political campaign in
South Dakota, which will come to a
climax at the primaries on March %.
Gov. Lowden made this statement
in explaining the budget system OF
Illinois and advocating a sweeping re-
form of the federal budget system.
The departmental appropriations,
(which are sent directly to congress
without any pruning, without any
comparison, without any investiga-
tion whatsoever" Mr.. Lowden said
SHOULD first have the approval of an
appropriation expert" He advocated
a separate department for this work
to be headed by an appropriation ex-
pert.
Mr.. Lowden declared that the tax
rates in Illinois were reduced 20 per
cent last December. He laid what he
termed unrest" and the high cost oi
living indirectly at the door of high
taxes.
while there are other more i'm
portant contributing causes, perhaps
there is no doubt in the world but
that the present rate of taxation has
a lot to do with the increased cost OF
living" he said. Nobody has had
the genius to work out scheme by
which you could make one class OF
citizens pay the taxes alone, but in
practice those taxes are diffused
throughout the community and the
present rate of income and excess
profit, in taxes, enter into the cost OF
everything that the consumer buys.
''The whole industrial structure OF
the United States is directly related
to taxation. I do not see how we car
begin, when we can talk about read.
justment, getting back on a normal
basis-I don't see how we can han
die intelligently a single one of the
problems of readjustment until we
have dealt as effectively as we can
with the question of taxation"

EXPERT ADVISES
 MUNICIPAL GULF
 LINKS FUR CITY
Los Angeles Professional Says That Now Is Time for Phoenix to Consider Course for Public

That the one hobby of Pat" Patter- son, professional in charge of the mu- nicipal golf links at Griffith park, Los Angeles, is the construction of muni- cipal links in every city in the land is the declaration of Gus Hanson, of the BerryhiH company, who interviewed Patterson in the coast city. Patterson has been a followed of the Scotch game for many years, and has an intimate knowledge of the executive details of conducting golf links throughout the country.
 The substance of the interview fol- lows:
 When Patterson was told that Phoe- nix has no public links he expressed surprise, but when it was explained to him that the planning experts here had just begun their work and that they were faced with several civic i'm provement projects, he remarked that such a time as this is the psychological hour in which to consider a municipal links because plans for it may be fit ted in with the city's scheme of play grounds, parks and boulevards.
 Pat" claims, and he knows whereof he speaks, that no other single inn provement will carry a city so quickly and prove such an asset as will a pub lie golf course open to all patrons of the game. The only detail is the selec- ton of a suitable tract close to a trans portation line. to be purchased by the city. Such a purchase at this time would be in the nature of sound in vestment and the subsequent improve ment of the tract would enhance it's value as well as improve the locality generally. nine hole course would serve admirably in the beginning, al- though the plans should include the completion of a regulation eighteen hole course
 
 The tract selected should cover at least no acres and should be laid out by an expert golf architect such as William Watson, Donald Ross or Tom Bendelow. At the same time, a high

class golf professional should be en- gagged to carry out the plans of the architect. To insure the smooth and frictionless administration of the golf links, as a city project, it should be placed under a Jurisdiction separate from that of the city playgrounds or other public fields. The Los Angeles public golf links has been self sup porting for the past two and half years from it's income of 25 cents a day per player. Other arrangements of charges are $2 per month or $10 for an annual permit. Locker charges are 25 cents day, SIPS a month, $5 for six months and s9 for year.
 In a period of a year and a half, operating under the above schedule during the war period. surplus fund of $6000 was accumulated over and above all operating expenses This fund was later used fin rebuilding and improving the links. The golf playing public is represented in the park board by an advisory committee, made up Of players, who recommend the necessary changes and improvements in the links. Col. Griffith J. Griffith donated the present site of the Los Angeles public golf course and the city built and es- tablished the golf park there in 1912.
 Concessions are let for restaurant, soft drinks and cigar privileges which provide an added revenue. A profeS- sional is engaged in a supervisory ca pacity for the grounds and the adher- ance to the rules of the game An average of 200 players avail themselves of the public links in Los Angeles every day with a high record of 49S.
 The game of golf, aside from its value as a heathful exercise, offers ali opportunity for display of skill that makes a golf devotee of every one who tries the game. Every modern and progressive community has or is planning a public golf course so that the average man of average means can enjoy the full benefits of the game without belonging to an expensive club.
 The office man, teacher, clerk or housewife can and will find an oppor- tunity to get in the game if the links are provided. Big business has learned that the most efficient help is that which benefits mind and body with the proper recreation at the proper time. With Phoenix four hours of daylight before the working day begins, a great many could get a wholesome consti- tutional and begin the day right. Ample and generous provisions are be- ing made for children's playgrounds in every quarter, yet no provisions have been made here for a playground for our working grown-up children who need it as badly. Let's have a Phoenix public golf course. 'Fore."
