Leaders in the movement declare
that the city-manager idea is an exact
parallel of the organization plan of a
corporation. The commission serving
as the board of directors and the city
manager as the manager of the firm.
1t was pointed out that this plan has
been carried out in the public school
system and with public utilities and
works without hitch.
Friends of the plan claim that the
city manager form is the better be-
cause it permits the representatives
to employ the best trained talent in
the country for the management of
the ever increasing business of a
municipality.

PENNSY PRESIDENT
APPEALS TO WORKERS
BY PERSONAL WORD

Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad today issued the fol-
lowing personal appeal to officers and
employees for cooperation in reduc-
ing the cost of rendering service to
the public, and for open mindedness
toward the company's policy respect
ing salaries and wages.
ITO the men who work for this
railroad: H..
"If every man on this railroad could
come into my office and see for him
self the facts that confront us, would
not be addressing you this way.
I'VE have come to the necessity of
reducing salaries and wages. Drastic
economies have been made in every
other way possible. Working forces
have been reduced more than 10000
men. With less business to handle
and wages taking the abnormal sum
of 70 cents out of every dollar the
railroad earns, the remaining 80
cents is not sufficient to buy fuel and
other materials and supplies, and pay
our taxes and other obligations. There
is only one way to keep our ex-
penses within our income and that is
to lower salaries and wages. Under
such circumstances as these it is nee
essary to ask for your cooperation,
and have known Pennsy men long
enough that I do SO without hest.
tation. --
THE directors of this company have
given their word that justice and fair
play will be accorded to all. promise
YOU that policy will be scrupulously
followed.
You have been asked to send rep.
resentatives to meet the general man
ayers to discuss what are just and
reasonable wages in the light Of pres
ent conditions. Committees are now
at work preparing new schedules of
rates to submit for your consideration.
1t is our purpose to tell you exactly
what are the facts so that all may
know and understand.
"All l want to ask of you is one
thing, to be open minded. We have
no intention or desire to reduce wages
10 unfair levels. There is no con-
spiracy to disrupt your national or
CARNATIONS. We are simply face to
face with conditions that force the
steps we are taking.
You men have assisted in making
this the greatest railroad in the coun-
try. 1t is our job, yours and mine,
to serve the public as economically
and as efficiently as possible. The rail.

road is opposed to the national agree
ments because they make it impossible
to operate the road for the interest
of the public as well as for the In
terest of the employees. One of the
most unfortunate features of the pres
ent situation is the fact that these
national agreements make it impos.
sible for US to retain the most ehlc-
lent employees and to pay them Tor
the work they do and the energy, inia-
tive and loyalty they put into the
job.
I've have succeeded in the past by
woring together with mutual good Will
and cooperation. In that way alone
we can succeed now, and l want to
feel that / can continue to count on
your spirit of fair play, common sense
and whole-hearted service.

Agricultural Statistics.

Reports of the census bureau on
the agricultural census for 1919 and
1920 show there has been an increase
of 1872 per cent in acreage irrigated
in Colorado since 1910 and an increase
of ZIG per cent in the acreage OF
crops cultivated under irrigation since
1909. During the same period there
has been an increase of about 203 per
cent in the acreage cultivated without
irrigation. The census figures for cul-
tivated acreage are for 1909 and 1919.
Reports of county assessors to the
state immigration department indicate
that the increase in non-irrigated acre
age under cultivation this year over
1919 is about 10 per cent, while there
is little change in irrigated acreage
being farmed.
The largest increase in acreage
grown under irrigation shown for any
crop in the decade is for alfalfa. The
census bureau showed that 659,912
acres of alfalfa were grown under ir-
rigatoin in Colorado in 1919, compar-
ed with 48O,5S6 acres in 1909. There
was also a considerable increase in
acreage of alfalfa grown without ir-
rigation, the census bureau reports
showing that 94.4 per cent Of all al
falfa grown in the state in 1909 was
irrigated, while only s4.4 per cent OF
it was irrigated in 1919. Reports of
the state immigration department
show that the acreage of alfalfa grown
without irrigation in eastern Colorado
counties is increasing rather rapidly
each year.
The Lamar register., 1921-08-24

Sugar beets ranks first in value
among the irrigated crops grown in
the state, though the acreage devoted
to this crop is smaller than that de-
voted to either alfalfa or wild hay.
The records of the census bureau show
ed that 80 per cent of the sugar beets
grown in the state in 1909 were irri
gated, while for 1919 only S2.S per
cent were irrigated. In both 1920 and
1921 the acreage of sugar beets cult
waited was greater. than for 1919 and
the acreage cultivated under irriga
ton was greater each year than that
shown by the census bureau for 1919.
The census report shows only 1877 ,329
acres of sugar beets grown under ir-
rigation in 1919, while the records of
the immigration department indicate
that over 100000 acres We're grown
under irrigation in 1920 and nearly
100000 in 1921.
The only important crop that has
shown a substantial decrease in acre
age grown under irrigation since 1903
is oats. The census bureau reported
1891 acres, or 697 per cent of the
total crop of oats grown under irri-
cation in 1909, while in 1919 the 70
ports showed that but 976lS acres, o.
56 per cent of the total crop, waa
grown under irrigation. There was q
slight decrease in the acreage of po-
tatoes grown under irrigation in the
state in 1919, as compared with 1909,
the figures being 1921 acres for 1909
and 5O,631 acres for 1919. The acre
age of potatoes grown under irriga-
ton in the state this year is consider
ably larger than that for 1919 ard per-
haps the largest in the history of the
state County assessors reports show
that about 10 per cent of the acreage
devoted to potatoes in the state now
is irrigated.

platform pledge to reduce taxes" Now
why can't the "Times' be honest :?
Here IS the exact language of the Re
publican platform pledge on the sub
ject of reduction of taxes:
"In presenting = true statement of
the situation, we must face the fact
that while the character of the taxes
can and should be changed, an early
reduction of the amount of revenue to
be raised is not to be expected"
The Republican platform emphasiz-
ed the fact that the Republic; n ad-
ministration would inherit an enor-
rlous indebtedness from the Wilson
administration, and that this, with in
tcrest, must be paid, in addition to
maintaining the various agencies of
the government. Economy was prom
ised, and ultimate reduction of taxes
was inferred, but it was specifically
stated that immediate reduction could
not be expected. This is the first ses-
sion of Congress since the Republi-
