Board Refuses
to Act on Status
Of East Omaha
Iowa-Nebraska Boundary
Commissioners Decide They
Have No Jurisdiction
Over Question.

Members OF the Iowa Nebraska
boundary commission, which me-
yesterday at the Chamber of Com.
merce in Council Bluffs to consider
claims and counter claims of Omaha
and the Bluffs for possession of East
Omaha, decided they have no juris.
diction in the matter and refused tc
take any action.
The meeting was the second of the
commission iff regard to this matter
which concerns possession of tina,
portion of Iowa on the west side oi
the Missouri river. The hrst meet
ing was held in Omaha and this one
was called to give Council Bluffs a
more adequate opportunity to present
its case.
Senator w. S. Baird of Iowa
made the principal address.
He presented all phases of the
situation exhaustiyely and was sup
ported in his statements of law by
Henry Peterson, attorney. His poin.
was that the boundary had been
fixed by the supreme court of the
United States and did not fall with
in the province of the commission
in any manner.
Other commissioners discussed
taxation, water supply and schools
in East Omaha, confining them
selves to these problems and ig-
noring the question of the jurisdic-
ton of the commission over the
boundary. The session lasted nearly
al. day.

Swine Breeders
Advised to Feed
Grain on Farms
Dean E. A. Burnett Says Busi.
ness Must Absorb Labor
at Living Wage to In
crease Prices.

Lincoln, JAM 4,-Prices of farm
products at present are below the
cost of production and these pro-
ducts will become remunerative only
when business absorbs our available
labor at living wage, wage i'll
which the farmer, as we'll as the ar
tisan and the capitalist, receives con-
sideration, declared Dean E. A. Bur-
nett of the Nebraska Agricultural
| college in an address here today be-
fore the Nebraska Swine Breeders
association.
There seems to be good reason to
believe, however, that the downward
trend of farm prices has been
checked, and that in general we may
look for an advance with the ap-
proach of spring and throughout the
coming summer" Dean Burnett
stated. This would suggest that
the breeder maintain his herd at such
a size as will consume. the grain
available for market and that ample
forage be provided to cheaper the
cost of his grains during the sum-
mer season."
The farmers prosperity is inti-
rnately related to markets and prices,
Dean Burkett said, which are in
turn tied up with labor employment
and wages.
The farmer breeder must grow
into a business and the Nebraska
swine breeder has many natural ad-
vantages,' continued Dean Burnett
Few regions produce food as cheap
ly as we can. We are living in the
breadbasket of the world. The
wealth of corn and alfalfa, which is
cur heritage, can be fully utilized
only as we become great livestock
reservoir.
Even at the reduced rates now
going into effect, freight on farm
grains and livestock are l55 per cent
prewar prices, while the farm prices
generally are below those OF 1914"
The extensive swine breeder al
ways must strive to keep the cost
.of production within the market de-
mand, Dean Burnett said, but in so
doing should not economize too much
on the quality Of breeding stock.
Breeders need especially to study the
question of type with reference to
size, vigor. symmetrical development
according to approved standards, size

There never has been. time
when an understanding of ratior<

grown. if they are TO show sufficient
quality to command the best mar

cooperative organizations have been
organized to assist producers mi

bargaining association that contracts;
the organization that handles the
farmers milk and the association
that bargains, but is prepared toI
handle surplus milk by pro-
cessing. intermediate stages ex-
ist between these three types, Pro-
fessor Davis added, outlining the
processes that now are being operat-

and states. .,
"Co-operative marketing is feasible
and will be successful il properly

Realization that milk is perishable;
that service by some sort of middle

be cared for as not to Hood the

Professor Davis advanced the fol-

"The chief objection urged against
It is that the road tax now paid by
the landowner will be shifted to the
cash tenant, who is at present having
sufficient trouble without adding
anything to his burdens. This is a
valid argument, but before accepting
this as the deciding factor we should
study the incidence OF the present
tax.
"All property is now taxed for the
building OF state highways, but moi
all persons who own property use
the state highways. For example,
know a man past 90 who is pay
ing for his home from what he can
save out OF salary Of $50 month.
He has never owned an automobile
and has no expectations OF ever be-
coming an auto owner. He is a
type OF thousands of men who pay
taxes from which they get no direct
benefit.
Hard to Pay Interest.
The man who purchased farm,
land during the initiation period and
borrowed money for considerable
portion of the purchase price is in as
bad a position as is the cash tenant.
In fact, any farmer who owes in part
ior his land is doing we'll to meet his
interest payments and pay his por-
ton of the regular taxes without
helping construct roads for joyriders.
Even if he drives small car he viii
doubtless be very willing to pay a
small tax upon 200 or 800 gallons
of gasoline that he uses necessarily
in order to be relieved of a portion
OF his taxes upon his other property
"On the other hand, we find many
other persons who own no real estate
and but very little other taxable
property who own big cars and drive
them thousands of miles cash year
on roads for which other people pay
IS there any reason fundamentally
Why thc local joy rider or the trans
contilcr tai tourist should not be
taxed for the construction of roads IN
proportion to his use OF the roads?
IS there any reason why the man or
the firm that engages in trucking,
using for that purpose public high
way, should be excused from making
a di-ec, payment toward the high
ways:
Railroads Pay For Roads.
As matters now stand, we tax the
railroads TO. help pay for the con-
struction of highways upon which
both freight and passengers are
carried in competition with the rail-
roads. The public is paying fairly
heavy tax in order TO furnish free
highways to all who will travel.
On the whole. | believe that any

are far outweighed by the advantages.

STATE INCOME TAX
ATTACKED BY SLATO|V

John M. S1aton, former governor
of Georgia, and a member Of the
Georgia legislaturer for many years,
delivered a, speech against the pro-
posed state income tax before the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, at a
forum luncheon held Monday at the
Peacock cafe.
He asserted that the tax would
impose on industry and commerce a
burden too great to bear, and that
all movable enterprises would leave
Georgia, stripping it of hundreds of
concerns, and seriously depicting
it's prosperity.
He asserted that the whole state
income tax would be paid by not
more than five per cent Of the peo-
pie, while the remaining IS per cent
would escape taxation.
Other speakers were Mayor
James L. Key, who asked support
of the movement to save the At
Ianta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad from being scrapped, and
Lee Ashcraft.
Former Governor Slaton in his
argument against the proposed state
income tax made the following
points, among others:
'"The state is nothing but e sum
total of individuals, and when the
sum total is not thriving, when bus
mess is depressed, it is wise to lay
heavy burden Of tax on business?
politicians will tell you that the
tax will fall upon the class of citi-
zens on whom it is imposed. This
is not strictly true. If you lay a
tax on business, the burden will be
passed on down to those below.
"If you lay heavy burden on
business in this state, business will
soon move to another state and ship
goods here. In this way Georgia
will soon lose large proportion of
her industries, especially the ones
that are not dependent upon their
location
There are only eighteen states in
the union that have this kind of tax
If you go to those states you will
find a kind Of business that is en-
tirely different from the general in
dustry of Georgia, which is largely
agricultural
us it better that the man who
makes the money shall invest it in
business or that the politician who
had no part in earning it shall spend
it? Do you want to destroy the in
dustry of the state of Georgia."
