ORGANIZED FAMERS
DEMAND CREDIT LAW
Farm Bureau Insists Net Income Be
Recognized As Basis Of Amer
lean Taxation.
MINNESOTA FAR1d BUREAU
FEDERATION NEWS SERVICE


BY NEIL H. SWANSON
Editor News Service
ST. Paul, Dec. 7.-Congress will be
asked by 100000 organized farmers
to pass legislation revising the pres
ent credit laws of the United States,
so as to guarantee adequate finance
for agriculture on IL and "a months
paper.
Together with this demand, the
American Farm Bureau federation
and it's At state declarations will pres
ent demand that net income be re-
cOgnized as the sole measure of abil-
ity to pay taxes, and that the bulk of
all taxes be levied on that basis.
This is the report brought back by
Minnesota's delegation which attend
ed the national convention of the
American Farm Bureau federation in
Atlanta, Ga.
Another national farm bureau
policy, defined by the convention, is
summarized as follows in the report
to the state federation:
1.-THE measure of ability to pay
taxes for the support of the national
government is net income, and the
bulk of the taxes should be levied
and collected on that basis.
'"The tax should be progressive;
that is, the greater the income, the
higher the rate should be.
1--WE are opposed to the issuing of
all tax free securities, and request
that congress submit a constitution
al amendment to the several states
to cure this defect in our tax system
1--WE disapprove the repeal of the
excess profits tax.
1--WE are opposed to the principle
of general sales tax, or any similar
plan such as a general manufacture
ers tax"
Development of the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence waterway restoration
of pre-war powers to state railroad
commissions, and a strong objection
to permitting carriers to charge high
er rates for short 11auls than for long
hauls were planks in a transporta-
ton platform submitted by the Min
nesota delegates, and adopted.
The Minnesota platform demands
the repeal or drastic modification OF
the Adamson law, and the repeal of
parts of the EschCummins act.
1--WE denounce the principle of
guaranteeing income upon fixed valu-
ations to the railroads of the United
States" the platform says land ask
the repeal of Section 15-A. Esch-
Cummins act, which contains this
feature.
"Since the Adamson law produces
conditions in the conduct of the rail
roads which operate against the in
terest of the public, we ask it's re-
peal or modification as speedily as
possible"

ELEPHANTS, TOOTH
Found in Vermont Has Very Curl
GUS History.

GUS History.
The fossil tooth of a preh 'storic
elephant found in Vermont in 1S49
and presented to the Geological Mus
cum Of Harvard University in 1S49, as
it's first specimen has only recently
been received at the museum. after a
curious history, says a Cambridge,
Massachusetts dispatch recently. The
director Of the museum is Sam
uel Henshaw. a grandson Of Samuel
Henshaw of Boston, who found the
fossil and presented it to Harvard.
The tooth which is nearly foot
long and several inches thick, was
found with other fossil elephant bones
while the Rutland Railroad was being
constructed across the slope of Mount
Holly, few miles south of Rutland.
Never before had the remains of n
fossil elephant been discovered in the
northern state.
Samuel Henshaw, one Of the pro-
moters of the railroads, gave the
tooth to Professor Louis Agassiz, the
great Harvard naturalist, to serve as
the first specimen In the newly op-
ened museum. However, instead Of
being placed on exhibition it was
lent to DR.. G. ]. Warren, Of Boston,
who had obtained the other elephant
remains and was writing book on the
subject Of mastodOns. No steps were
taken Tor its return to Harvard and
it remained in DR.. Warren's collection.
bought by the late J. +. Morgan and
presented TO the Museum of Natural
History OF New York.
Last year Walter Granger of the
New York Museum discovered that
the tooth had originally been presented
to Harvard and really belonged there.
Thereupon the museum authorities re-
turned it to Cambridge, together with
a present OF other elephant bones.

Willing, according to the. extent Of their
