We are in favor Of progress and do
not want to see any Of the state instl-
tutions go backward. We do not be-
lieve that any increased appropriation
bill will be necessary to maintain the
standard of the colleges or other in
stitutions Of the state In fact we
do not see that it is necessary to
make as large appropriations as last
year in order to carry on all the
work that has already been instituted
We think we are correct in saying
that there is no construction work
that cannot be done this year for p
per cent. less than last year. There
fore if an appropriation is reduced
25 per cent. the same amount of con-
struction work can be accomplished.
This same principle may be applied
to practically all other appropriations.
1t would not appear to be good policy
to reduce any of the salaries. The
public officials, with some exceptions,
have never received decent salary,
and inasmuch as salaries figure in "a
very small way in public appropria-
tions, they may be allowed to remain
as they are.

A Bamberg gentleman strihingly
illustrated the tax injustice the other
day. Two brothers, he said, may
each receive ten thousand dollars as
their share Of an estate. One brother
decides to buy a fine farm with his
money and invests in 100 acres OF
good Bamherg county land. The 9TH
er brother, though, is not bent to-
ward agriculture, and decides to in
vest his money in mercantile estab-
lishment. The farmer brother will
pay taxes on not exceeding 500,
while the merchant will have to pay
on $4,000, exactly Six times as much
taxes. The burden of taxes would
not be nearly so burdensome of the
burden were equally borne by all
property owners. This is not the only
inequality, just one of them.

A great many farmers are beseiging g
members of the general assembly to
lend their support to bill to curtail
the acreage of cotton. This is dis
tinctly out Of the jurisdiction Of the
legislature. This is free country,
and a farmer has the God given right
to plant what he pleases and as much
as he pleases or as little You may
as we'll pass a law requiring every
citizen to attend the Methodist Or
Baptist or Presbyterian church as to
dictate to him what he shall plant in
his own soil. All we'll thinking peo-
pie sympathize with all movements
to better the condition Of the cotton
planter and they wish all such move
ments we'll, but all acreage curtail-
ment movements must be voluntary
among the cotton planters themselves.
We are of the opinion that there must
be a reduction-a vast reduction-in
cotton acreage if the farmers are to
protect the price of cotton, but the
legislature is not the channel through
which the reduction must come. Glass
legislation is a dangerous thing any
time: even if the measure would be
constitutional, which we do not be-
lieve, it would be most unwise.

A year ago the people OF this stats
concluded that there was nothing sc
serious as the cotton boil weevil, but
one hears very little about the Wee
vii nowadays. It's the price Of cot
ton. The farmers have discovered
an enemy more subtle and more
mighty than the Weevil. The Weevil
can be seen and can be fought. The
influence that fixes the price OF cotton
can neither be found nor fought ap-
parently.

| The Bond Issue.
When the people Of Holt county, by
majority vote in the last election
exl ressed their sentiments In favor Of
the sixty million dollar road bond
issue, they did II in good faith, expect
ing that the plan of roads, as laid OUT,
would be carried to completion. Since
that time however, II has developed
that the Missouri Good Roads Fedora
tion has come forward with a plan of
building primary and secondary roads,
the primary roads being city to city
proposition, which, of course, leaves
the majority of the rural districts Of
Missouri out. During the latter part
of January, a convention of good roads
people, representing ninety counties in
the state, was held in jefferson City
to work out a plan by which each
would get its proportionate share of
the sixty million dollars as was prom
jsed them prior to election. The initial
subject in this work was the appoint
ment of rood roads chairman in each
congressional district. Former Sena-
tor George W. Click is our representa-
tive 10 Northwest Missouri.
Mr.. Click is spending his entire
time on the organization Of this dis
trict by counties and townships. The
purpose Of this Is to form law, which
will insure to each county its propor-
tionate share Of the sixty million dol
lars. The majority Of our farmers do
not want hard surfaced roads at pres

FARM BUREAU NOTES.
Government Harness.

We want to again call your atten-
tion 10 the fact that sample Of har-
ness, which Is being sold by the u.
5. government has been ordered and
should be In the office in the very
near future. This harness Is A No. l
in quality and sells for s4s.7b. with
a rebate Of $3.50 instead Of $500 as
advertised in last weeks paper. We
want Il definitely understood that we
are not in the harness business, but
have ordered this sample set on re-
quest OF several men from different
parts Of the county, and are acting
only as an agent Of the Missouri Farm
Bureau Federation in placing this
harness before the people. II you are
contemplating buying harness this
spring, II will pay you to look these
over before you purchase elsewhere.
Farmers in other counties are taking
advantage Of this opportunity and we
feel that Il Is only our duty to give this
service to the farmers Of Holt county
IL they SO desire.
Seed Potatoes.
A short time ago we made II known
that we We're taking orders for a car
Of certified seed potatoes to be shipped
in from Minnesota. We have been
asked what certified seed potatoes $
are. Very briefly we would say that
they are potatoes that are guaranteed
TO be absolutely free from any disease
and will produce the kind of potatoes
YOU plant. Qualification bears the
same relation TO potatoes that pedi-
gree does to purc-bred animal, Min
nesota certified seed potatoes are
grown from selected seed and must
pass two field inspections and one bin
inspection. The potatoes are graded,
sacked and the sacks sealed with a
lead seal bearing blue label, on which
is given the name Of the grower, SO
that the grower stands behind the seed
he sells. The potatoes will cost Si.oO
per bushel in car lots delivered here.
We are very sure that it will pay you
10 plant these potatoes, even though
YOU have enough seed Of your own to
plant, as the extra quality and yield
will more than pay you for discarding
YOUR home grown seed. Let US have
your orders quickly, as 1t will soon be
planting time.
Wool Pool.
For the information of those who
are consignors to last years wool pool,
we want to advise you that your wool
has all been sold and the remainder OF
the money will be sent you as soon
as Mr.. Daniels, chairman Of the mar
keting committee, can get expenses
pro-rated and the books closed. We
also would like to say that arrange.
ments are being made to pool the wool
in Northwest Missouri at st. Joseph
again this year, and hope that all the
wool In Holt county will be put into
this pool; not only the 1921 clip, but
that portion Of the 1920 clip, which Il
