NOT FOR REPEAL OF COURT
Euwer Favors Bond
Issue for Road Construction.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 1S.-'I will
oppose any alterations, changes or re-
peal of the industrial court law,
frankly stated Elmer Z. Euwer. at
torney, representative from Sherman
county in the state house of repre-
Sentatives. ''Altho 1 feel that the
farmer is entitled to consideration and
assistance from the legislature, 1 have
no legislation in mind at this time
which might benefit the farmer.
Il am in favor of a bond issue for
roads construction, provided the
county retains the power to say what
kind of q road will be put down in
that county. I oppose any reduction
in state taxes which might cripple our
state institutions and also oppose the
proposed slash of 20 per cent in the
salaries of state employees receiving
more than $4,000 a year
1.-The general public should know
by this time that a very small per
cent of our taxes goes to the state, and
that the evil lies at home; there is
where the bulk of the state tax lies

Jennings, Kan, Dec. IL, 1922.
Editor state Journal:
In The State Journal of December
II. note an article by Charles
Brandon Booth in which he suggests
the manufacture of goods at the peni-
Tertiary; also the sale of them at
wholesale prices.
Would it be permissible for dirt
farmer to make a suggestion? Why
not start the manufacture of farm ma
chinery at the penal institutions of
Kansas and sell them, not at the
wholesale price, but at a decent
profit?
When the price of wheat was set
during the war, manufacturers of
farm machinery were turned loose, as
we say when we turn our hogs out,
and farm machinery went out of sight
and the said same gents haven't found
out that the war is over.
1 believe the penal institutions of
Kansas Gould manufacture all the i'm
pIements needed by her farmers and
make a nice profit at a little more
than one-half the present prices,
which are clear out of reason.

EXTENSION WORK REACHES
NEARLY A MILLION FARM
WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Few have an idea OF the scope of
extension work conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in cooperation with the several
states. A report just issued by the
department shows that this extension
work~reaches and is actively partici-
rated in by 100000 farm women and
100000 farm children. Over 205,000
boys and girls clubs were organized
and did work under the direction of
the extension bureau AS q result
of this work, farm products including
fruits, vegetables, poultry, pigs and
calves were produced to the value of
s5,600,000. Over $4,000 gardens were
established and thousands of tons of
fruit and, vegetables were canned,
brined or dried, as result Although
these figures are large, the work of
agricultural extension among farm
children has just scratched the sur
face as the census shows there are
over 100000 boys and girls on the
6,450,000 farms of the United States.

GOLDEN RULE is BEST

DO unto others as you would have
them do unto you," is a good slogan
for both the pedestrian and the mo,
torist, in the opinion of Don Hogan,
Denver distributor.
"A majority Of accidents are pure
ly matter of disregard Tor the feel
ings of others, and many of them
could be prevented If we all would re-
member that it is our duty to let the
other drivers and pedestrians know
just what we intend to do-whether
we are going to slow down, stop,
turn right or left, or what not.
81 was talking with the captain of
police in charge of traffic and he said
that most accidents are caused by
the failure of the driver to give the
hand signal 1t is such an easy mat
ter to give these signals and they
are of such Importance that it should
be made unlawful for anyone to turn
right or left or stop in any OF the
crowded districts downtown without
first giving the hand signal
81 presume that everyone who
drives motor car is familiar with
these signals. but for the benefit Of
the possible few these signs are: 10
stop, the arm is held straight out in
horizontal position fapm the body
right turn is indicated by holding the
arm half way between the horizontal
and vertical or straight up position
and left turn is indicated by hold
ing the arm in the same position only
under the horizontal.
Il have found that it is good idea
to stick your hand straight out when
you near corner at which you wish
to turn and just before you get there
give either the up or down signal, ac-
cording to which way you intend to
turn.
THE traffic problem is growing
bigger every day. To make things
safe for everybody requires lot of
individual attention and study. Don't
figure that You are the only driver
or pedestrian on earth-be careful,
courteous and keep cool, and you are
not apt to run up against the law, in
1ure anyone or get injured"
