CAN'T REDUCE
Bergman Is for Real
Road System

Ashland, Dec. 16.-Contrary tt
A rumor that j. W. Bergman OF
Ashland, is an aspirant for the
speakership Of the lower house OF
the Kansas legislature. Mr.. Ber'
ryman says his personal ambition
is ITO occupy position ON the
sidelines and take an occasional
swat when the swatting is good
and seems to be demanded"
Mr.. Bergman, who has been
a successful business man in Kan,
sas for more than forty years
banking and lumber principally
intends that the 1928 Kansas
Legislature take new tack on the
land tenantry problem. He de-
clares this problem in Kansas at
this time is more serious than ever
before, that loss Of farms through
mortgages is causing an alarm
ing movement of lands to land
lordism" rather than to "home
ownership" He points to the fav-
orable vote given the land tenan-
try amendment two years ago.
But the last legislature did moth
ing to carry out the expressed
wish of the voters in this partic-
ular.
Mr.. Bergman fears that the
taxpayer may be disappointed IN
any reduction Of taxes that the
legislature may be able to bring
about. at would be very desir-
able" he said, ''under present
conditions If state expenses could
be reduced, but unfortunately
most Of these are in a manner
fixed. 1t takes about SO much
money to carry on public bust
ness and maintain and support the
various state institutions. Doubt,
less there may be a few places
where some pairing down may be
done but the aggregate OF such
amounts will, / fear, be disap'
pointing to the tax payer. There
are some state Officials salaries
that probably could and shoule
be reduced to accord more witt
existing conditions. Where this
NAV be so and it can be done,
should favor it."
Mr.. Bergman favors the plar
for a state highway system, to be
constructed "under competent en-
gineers by the state. through
bond issue, using the credit OF the
state to pay the initial cost and
retiring the bonds by the license
fees or tax assessed against auto
mobiles and other vehicles using
the roads," "The system we now
have in Kansas never can be sat
isfactory or result in any con-
nected system and under 1t we
always would have a lot OF dis
connected units. We collect an
nually already very large fund
from automobile licenses for
which we get little or no appre-
ciable result so far as the improve
ment of our roads as a whole are
concerned"

If Geddes and Endres found they

enough votes to elect one OF the
other men or put over popular

Found His Watch in the Hay

Lon Adney had pleasant surprise
while helping bale hay at the Schori
barn Friday. Last fall while helping
put up hay in the Schori field he lost
his watch, and search as he would, he
could not locate the timepiece. After
a time it was considered lost and lit
tie was thought of the possibility of
its recovery. Friday while the men
were at work baling the hay one of
the worlmen, who was in the loose
hay felt his foot strike some hard
substance, and reaching into the hay,
pulled out Mr.. Adney's watch. "Lon"
was working with the baling gang
and the watch was handed over to
him. He wound it and it started and
has been keeping good time ever
since. To find the watch after its
winter repose in the hay and have
it uninjured and in perfect order was
surely a piece of good fortune.-El-
gin Echo.

Picking the wild Flowers

Newspapers are complaining of
vandalism" by those who go out to
the wooded spots and pick few
wild flowers. Bosh! That's what
wild flowers are for, claims the Mar
shalltown Times-Republican. The few
posies the people pick do not lesson
the supply and their picking and pre-
servation for a time bring a touch Of
spring happiness to the homes. The
groves are matted with violets and
the little flowers that grow in the
spring, ira la, and the reason God
makes them grow is to give pleasure
and lend sweetness to life. Vandal-
ism nothing. Go pick the flowers
and bring them home to sing with
perfumed voices of the spring and
whisper of the Goodness that makes
the posies grow.
