KANSAS LACKS
RAILROAD CARS
FOR IT'S WHEAT
Third Straight Summer That
Farmers Meet Same
Difficulty.
HAVE LESS THAN 10000

TOPEKA, Kan, sJuIy 5-Kansas farm
ers are playing in hard luck on their
wheat crop again. For three straight
years they have gone into a bountiful-
harvest and then struck a snag when t
came to marketing the grain By July
10 Kansas will be facing a car shortage
that is expected to be as severe as any
the State has had. This is In spite of
every effort made by the State TO pro
vide adequate transportation facilities
and to see to it that the railroads had
plenty of cars for handling the Lig
load
In April the State public utilities com
mission called a conference of the rail
road managers Of the six big wheat
roads and asked what they were doing
to provide empty cars in storage for the
wheat movement. The railroads prom
ised that they would have q 900 empty
cars suitable for grain loading on the
sidings in this State by July l. The
railroads assert that they have been Bit
terly disappointed. BY June % they
have been able to store less than 5000
cars and by the time the big movement
Of the wheat begins, around July 10,
there will be considerably less than TO-
600 empty cars within the State.
MOST OF CARS
IN BAD CONDITION.
The railroad managers assert that the
cause for this condition is the large num-
Der of bad order cars being returned to
them Every car coming back to its
owner from a foreign line seems to be in
need Of heavy repairs and the roads have
been unable to make these repairs in time
10 store cars for the wheat On May Is
there were 47S0O0 idle cars reported in
the entire United States Kansas rail
road officials asserted that less than
10000 of these idle cars were service
able. The others were idle, but were in
such bad order that they had TO 90 to
the shops. The six big Kansas roads
show that y per cent Of the cars they
own are in repair shops They have
fewer cars this year than at the same
time a year ago. The railroad service
reports to the Kansas public utilities
commission indicate that June 10 the
roads had only % per cent Of the cars
they owned on their own lines, while
year ago they had o. per cent Of their
cars.
Everything urges the Kansas farmer to
sell his wheat. The market has been
on 4 decline for eight months. The ter
minal elevators are all empty The Kan
sas mill elevators and shipping elevators
are all empty The crop is big and the
bankers are pressing the farmers for
money and wheat is the ready money for
Kansas. But when the farmers cannot

On the promise Of the railroads to-
store q, 900 cars, Kansas bankers have,
been counting. This would be sufficient
to take care of the wheat loadings un-
til about Aug. 5. BY that time the early
loads would have reached the terminals
and the empty cars be back in Kan
sas. The bankers announced some time
ago that if the railroads were able 20
store the 81 1000 cars, Kansas would
liquidate $3.50, 100000 worth of farm paper
before Sept. 1. This would have been
of considerable financial aid to the banks
throughout this section of the country
and indirectly in other sections. If the
wheat movement could be steady for four
months, S0.000,00 bushels of wheat
would have been marketed and that much
additional farm credits cleaned up, and
the farmers would have money to buy
things they need and some Injuries. 1t
would help business all around in Kan
sas. But the railroads were unable to
get sufficient cars and the farmers are
facing as serious a car shortage as ever
struck the State.

TwO-Thirds of Federal Aid
Roads Built Said to Be
of Earth, Sand and Gravel

WASHINGTON, July 5.-of the 1850
miles of Federal aid roads which have
been built or are now under construc-
ton, more than two-thirds are earth
roads, sandclay, or gravel, says the chief
Of the bureau of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture. These
have cost less than one third Of the to-
tai amount expended as compared with
nearly 30 per cent of the estimated cost,
applied to 1890 miles Of hard surfaced
roads. study of local conditions by an
engineer OF the bureau is necessary be-
fore a road project may receive Federal
aid.
The type Of road to be used and the
most suitable surface with respect to the
traffic of the locality must be deter
mined. Service must be satisfactory,
while cost must be kept low, both for
building and maintenance. There must
be a CAREFUL analysis both OF the en-
cheering and economic conditions for
each particular project. Their are in
dividual considerations as TO the best
type of road materials for that locality.
ENOUGR ROADS TO
ENCIRCLE GLOBE.
The mileage of Federal aid roads which
have been built or are now under CON
structlon is nearly sufficient 10 encircle
the globe. This is the record of work
accomplished since July. 1918, when the
Federal Government first stepped in to
aid in the enormous task OF building
highways that are now called upon TO
carry more than 100000 motor vehicles
plus a very substantial horsedrawn
traffic in the forty eight States.
The Federal aid law is we'll named.
The Department of Agriculture has
given the broadcast possible construc-
ton to the law for the purpose of pro
viding the greatest mileage of high
ways suited to the traffic TO he carried
over them at the minimum expense.
An analysis by the Bureau Of Public
Roads of the projects under contract
shows that all types of roads. from the
graded earth road up to the finest paved
surfaces. have been built.
On March 1 Of this year. 22030 miles
Of highway, extending INTO every State,
had been completed or were in process
Of construction. says the bureau, at
total estimated cost of S361,946, S8S. The
percentage Of this total estimated cost
which will be incurred for each type,
and the mileage of each type, based upon
the records of plans approved. are as

get cars, they cannot ship their wheat to
market and get the money on it.
THERE'S PLENTY OF
ELEVATOR SPACE.
Kansas has the wheat around 10000
600 bushels of il, and the elevators and
mills have the space, but there is no
way to get the wheat and the space to-
gether. By July 10 the empty cars now
in Kansas will have been exhausted, and
from then on, unless something unusual
happens, the farmers will be stuck with
their wheat on hand and no way to
ship it..
Eastern folks do not understand the
tragedy of the Kansas farmer when
car shortage impends. Wheat is the
one big cash item in the farmers life.
He feeds all other grain and most all
other products, but the wheat he sells
for ready money. When car shortage
comes along and he has a few thousand
bushels of wheat in bins and piled on
the ground and unable TO get cars for
shipment, it is a tragedy to the entire
family.

According to both William H Denman

young man.

Bachelor persisted however, and
gained an audience with the Russian.

WASHINGTON, July s. President
Harding has agreed to personally pass

reservation and on the desert.
The Indians feel this insures them
against what their spokesman declare IS
an old scheme to deprive them Of their
homes in the Valley Of the Verde in Ari-

with an additional allotment in the Salt
River reclamation district The Verde
River Is one of the few clear water
streams in Arizona. IL never runs dry
and the valley has been their home since
prehistoric times.
The Mcdowell reservation where this
tribe lives has been the target for at
tscks for years by those who want to get
the water and the timber riches The
Indian Bureau was proceeding TO put into
effect an order which, while disclaimfng
any compulsory removal was calculated
to force them to the Salt River lands
The Mcdowell reservation was declared
to be only grazing land, and the Indians
were to be permitted 10 use it only for
that Actually these people have farmed
it since before the dawn Of history and

RULES Law DOES
PROVIDE DECREASED
PAY OF ASSESSORS

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 21.-No cuts
il salaries OF county assessors Will
result from the loss OF population
shown by the last census in several
Indiana counties because Atty Gen.
Lesh interprets the legislative in
tent of new state laws to provide
against any decrease.
The attorney generals opinion
was asked by Chairman Jesse Esch-
bach OF the state board OF accounts,
because OF conflict resulting from
two laws passed by the special SEES
sion of the legislature six months
ago. First, the legislature enacted
a law declaring against assessors
suffering salary reduction because
Of decline in population. and later
it passed a law fixing the assessors
pay according 10 population. In the
routine of its work. the Board OF
Accounts raised the question
whether the later law repealed the
former and put the question up the
Attorney General.
"The proper construction" an
severed Mr.. Lesh, rs that the law Is
not repealed. so salaries would not
ne decreased any loss in the popula-
ton. Ny examination OF these acts
lead me to belive that this con-
stEuction carries out the legislative
intent"
