MORE DAIRY COWS.
Total Value of Products for 1920
Was ss6,453,s9s.
Interest in Dairying Is Increas-
ing, Says ]. C. MohIer.

Dairy products from Kansas farms
during 1920 produced 71.4s3,725
pounds of butter, according to a re-
port just issued by J. c. Mohler, Sec
rotary of the state board of agricul-
ture According to the report, H.
21S, 003 pounds of butter were made
by Kansas farmers, 37.40O,262 pounds
were made in factories in the state
from Kansas products and 20,S65, $50
pounds wereN manufactured outside
the state from Kansas products.
The value of dairy products for
1920 almost tripled the value for
1919, according to Secretary Mohler.
the 1920 total amounting to S36, 453,S-
1913. Present Indications are that the
dairy production during 1921 will
greatly exceed that of 1920, altho the
value of these products will not be as
great. according to Mohler, due to the
decline in market prices.
More Milk Cows in Kansas.
Assessors returns on the number of
milk cows in forty-five counties in the
state show that there are 242.912
cows in these counties, which is an
increase of 2.5 per cent over year
ago in the same territory, according
to Secretary Mohler. The territory
included in the forty-five counties
covers more than 90 per cent of the
dairy livestock area in the state.
Interest in dairying appears to be
increasing each year" Secretary
Mohler said. ''Various sections of the
state are developing into dairy CEN
ters for certain breeds of dairy cattle
which is one Of the best signs for an
increase in dairy production. The ter
ritory around Holton. for example, is
developing into a Jersey center. while
the Mulvane territory is specializing
on Holstein. The development of such
centerS> of interest in the state is a
healthy indication and such work is
to be encouraged in all sections of the
state. Interest in the southeast Sec
tions of the state seem to be greatest
in Anderson and Wilson counties,
where the number of dairy cows has
increased 200 and 4e0, respectively,
during 1920

merce and perplex an amiable admin
istration have nothing to do with the
tariff"
Criticising the Republican majority
Of the committee for Withholding the
bill from them and from the house
membership generally and for permit
ting only a week for its study, the
Democratic members declare there
has been insufficient time to draft a
substitute. They do not undertake
any detailed discussion of the lndi-
vidual schedules in the bill. combining
their 27-page typewritten report to q
general indictment Of the whole meas
ure and the manner of its preparation.
Emphasis is laid upon two things
the probable effect of the bill on
American commerce and the world
industrial situation, generally, and
upon the substitution of the system of
American valuation as a basis for
levying tariff duties.
Foreign Trade on Wane.
Pointing to the rapidly decreasing
American foreign trade, the report
1--WE need tariff to cut off the i'm.
ports and the exports of the United
States"
Calling attention that the foreign
trade of the United States fell from
s1,1SS,255,449 last July to $527,37S,-
Certainly the natural process is
preferable to the infected knife of
interested. surgeons who, by selecting
the industries to protect and those TO
destroy, can reap the harvest their
campaign contributions seeded last
fall" ~.
'SWas Prepared Outside"
Charging that the bill was prepared
outside of the ways and means COM
mittee, the minority report says the
manner Of its making up cannot be
defended"
ITS last minute changes whispered
to q favored few" the report con-
tEigue. secrecy and jobbery which in
spired it's covert subtleties. its con-
cealed indirection; framed its newly
invented schedules, east its complex
and compounded rates. and fixed its
unascertainable and incalculable du-
ties. with the trickery which has
transformed schedules. hidden jokers,
transplanted items. changed its no.
menelature and made it impossible to
compare it with any of its predeces-
sors."
The Democrats say in their report
that they vainly sought to have the
committee refer the bill to the treas
ury departm emit with n Yi~'-' ef e's.e - =
ing information as to the probable
amount of revenue to be uc-.Vcu as
well as the economic effect upon the
country.
They also say that they sought to
obtain action thru the committee from
which the rates and classifieations in
the bill might be compared with the
Underwood and Payne-Aldrich laws.
1t seems. the report says. that the
majority prefer not to give inforna-
ton to the house touching the pro-
visions of this bill. and this is q very
natural position for them to take. since
if the membership of the house or the
country really knew the meaning and
effect of its classifications, rates and
general provisions, they would repudi-
ate it in the most pronounced fashion"

a net loss to the government of from
rs to Z . per cent.
May Eliminate Bureaus.
Postmaster General Hays has found
that the government wasted a million
dollars annually in its telegraph bill
and will soon take steps to bring about
the consolidation of government wire
business into central office.
The Brown reorganization commit
tee is engaged in surveying govern
ment departments and bureaus with
the object in view Of consolidating
some bureaus and eliminating others
entirely.
The government is giving up where
ever possible rented quarters and
housing it's offices in government
buildings.
These steps are major in the eco
nomic drive. There are smaller ones
being taken in every department to
cut expenses to the bone and realize
cash in hand on things that are no
longer of material use to the govern
meut.

Charge Act Was Drawn Up Out
side the Committee.

Washington, July THE biggest
political and economic battle that the
nation has seen for many a day was
under way when the house of repre-
sentatives was called to order at noon
today. The Fordney tariff bill, spon-
sored by the Republican majority, was
the bone of contention.
Republican members were aroused
to high pitch by the attack made on
the bill by Representative Garner in
the report for the mocratic minor
ity in which the Texas legislator
charged that it had been drafted with
'trickery" for the benefit OF a few
men who finance the Republican party.
There were promises that the house
would have its own little battle of the
century" during the weeks to come.
Foreign Nations Protest.
To aid to the strife. came weird
from the state department that sew
eral foreign gevernm eats have made
official protests against the bill and
that these representa- tons are being
forwarded to congress.
When the clerk began the reading
Democrat of Texas, made a point of
no quorum. During the first minutes
of the reading Blanton, repeatedly re-
newed his point of no quorum and
was denounced for "dilatory tactics
by Representative Sanders. Republi-
can of Indiana Representative Camp
bell of Kansas, in the chair, succeeded
in counting the necessary quorum each
time.
The Republican majority has fixed
July 81 as the date for a final vote on
the measure. Under a program of
procedure agreed upon at q Republic
can conference last night, the period

floor and voted on separately. These
schedules, all other schedules to be
subject to amendment only by the
ways and means committee.
Democrats Denounce Bill.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee in a minority
report filed today in the house of rep
resentativss, denounce the administers

Harding and Dawes Plan Use of

MAKE BIG FELLOWS PAY UP
Too Many Are Holding Out on
National Treasury.
New Budget Director Expected
to Cut Down Bills.

Washington, July 7.-Reduction in
taxes of $1,O0o.000.0o0 within one
year was predicted today by admin
istration leaders on the basis Of pro-
grams for rigid governmental econo-
mics and measures to compel tax
evAders to meet their just tax la
bility.
President Harding, after confer
ences with Charles g. Dawes, director
of the budget, Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon, and Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair, is understood to
have approved plans which will mean
a radical Tightening up in govern
mental administration, not only with
the object of stopping government
leaks but Of enforcing payment of
huge tax sums by large concerns,

Of their good faith, to get out of pay
ing taxes lawfully assessed, running
in hundreds of cases from SO, 900 to
$4,000, 900 each. and avoid, by legal
maneuvering, their payment to the
government, there is sufficient reason
for the wide gap between receipts and
expenditures in the United States
treasury, officials said. after a study
of the situation.
decided TO put the screws" on the
type OF concerns which have sought
to scrape up every imaginable legal
device to avoid payment of govern
meHt taxes, it was learned.
Estimates of the internal revenue
bureau today showed that large tax
payers have : Wiggled out of taxes
amounting to $1,000, 100000 and more.
To Adopt New Plan.
The Administrations confidence that
within a year taxes can be lowered, is
predicated upon these suggestions:
Congress will adopt plan now be-
ing drafted by the internal revenue
bureau to make the manufacturers
liable for luxury taxes and thereby
save the government huge losses for
which the retailer is responsible.
~ Revenue Commissioner Blair will
collect within the next twelve months
$1,000, 100000 of back or delinquent
taxes, either from those who have
claimed deductions or those who have
wilfully refused or avoided payment
of their obligations.
Budget Director Dawes will slash
governmental expenditures in a sum
which may reach as high as $1,000
100000 by merging bureaus. cutting
out red tape. eliminating wasteful and
reckless spending and by cutting the
personnels.
