KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU

Mammalian, Kans., January BE
lieving that farm land has deprecated
more than other taxable property in
Kansas, the executive committee of
Kansas State Farm Bureau in its
monthly meeting here December 80.
appointed a committee to obtain facts
and 60 before the state tax commits
sion to get a reduction in the value of
farm lands for taxation purposes.
Members Of the executive committee
reported that very little land in that
section was selling, but that what
sales had been made had been at
prices of from $25 to $75 an acre less
than prices of year or two ago.
A committee composed of Ralph
Snyder, Manhattan, president; o. o.
Wolf, Ottawa, and F. o. Peterson,
Burdick, members of the executive
committee, was appointed to make
thorough study of the situation and
appear before the state tax commits
sion with the data obtained and ask
that property values be lowered. Farm
bureau declarations in Kentucky,
Iowa ad other states have taken up
the matter of lowering land values in
those states.
Members of the executive commit
tee pointed out that the reason why
land values have gone down more
than the values of other kinds of
property was due to the fact that the
price of farm products has declined
until the farmer cannot make a re-
turn on his investment with land
prices where they are at present.
Members of the executive commit
tee from each section of the state re-
ported bankruptcy sales of land where
farmers were unable to keep up in
terest on their mortgages. All stated
that prices paid at these sales were
from so to rs per cent of prices paid
by former owners. J. NJ. Ryan, vice
president of the bureau, reported that
a Jackson County farm sold recently
for $4,000. A little more than a
year ago it sold for $4,000

A MINISTER KILLS A LAMB IN
CHURCH

The Springfield, Massachusetts,
papers publish the story of the most
incredible affair of which we have
ever heard as taking place in a Chris
tian church. They report that on the
evening of December first, in the
Mount Calvary Baptist Church, the
offering up OF Isaac was portrayed by
the minister. Assisted by two other
clergymen, he killed a young ram on
an altar, to represent the killing of
the ram as given in the Old Testament
story of Abraham and Isaac. The
papers continue, saying, "the follow
ing evening the lamb was barbecued
and eaten and special services were
held"
We have no reason to call in ques-
ton the newspaper accounts of this
more than shocking offense to the bet
ter thought and feeling of the present
day. The whble thing seems so in
conceivable that we refused to believe
it till we saw it reported in two differ
ent papers.
What must have been the influence
of this deed of unnecessary bloodshed
upon the children ana youth present?
What their conception of a God graft
fed with such an exhibition? Even
the prophet Micah was thousands of
years ahead of these Springfield min
listers. In hs far-off day he wrote,
''Will the Lord be pleased with thou
sands of rams, or with ten thousands
of rivers of oil? What
doth the Lord require of thee but to
do justly and to love mercy, and to
walk hum'bly with thy God" If a
church must resort to the sort of
thing reported as having occurred in
this Springfield church TO get an
audience, what shall we think of the
words of Him who said, "And I, if I
be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto me?"-Dumb Animals.

GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Where Great Progress Has Been
Accomplished.

That good roads are closely related
TO prosperity there is no question OF
doubt. Only Il few years ago this
section OF Virginia had but one macad-
am road. one creamery, which went
10 the wall. and u mere handful of
pure-bred dairy cattle. writes c. G..
COnger. Jr., OF Virginia IN the Practi-
cal Farmer. One not familiar with
the many blessings good roads bring
about might wonder in what way good
roads would affect creameries and
pure-bred COWS. Let US take, for III
stance, Rockingham county, and see
just what good roads did in this sec
ton In the dairy business alone. TO
say nothing of the prosperity good
roads brought about in various other
ways. Previous TO our good roads the
one creamery did some business dur
ing the summer months, when the dirt
roads were al their best, but business
dwindled TO nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads to deliver their milk.
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time a
mere handful of progressive farmers
began movement for better roads
calling Il meeting AT a little village
centrally located in the county. The
attendance was good, and Il great deal
of good roads" enthusiasm WAS
aroused. II was the first step in bet
ter roads that gained impetus by leaps
and bounds. Today, in Il few short
years, we have Il network of fine mae
adam roads throughout the entire
county. Following good roads came
creameries. They Sprang up over nIgr-
like mushrooms, till today the county
is dotted with creumerieS, the sight o.
which does not look much like clos
ing down for the lack of milk, par
tcularly during the early hours of the
day. when auto trucks are pouring in
from the country, bringing milk from
every nook and corner of the county.
Pure-bred cows came with the cream
cries, till today scrub stock no longer
dominates our farms. Ask any farmer
why he disposed of his scrub COWS. re
placing them with pure bredS. and he
will tell yOu the creamerieS did it,

BUY LOW AND SELL HIGH

BUY low and sell high" is the
creed of the dealer in foreign mer-
chandise. If he could secure the pro
ducts of American labor at a
riiculously dow price and sell them at
an exhorbitant price he would never
go to foreign countries for his mer-
chandise. At present these fortune
hunting importers are dealing extern
sively in German-made goods because
the German workman IS receiving
about 1900 marks per month, or the
equivalent of $40 to SIS in American
money at the present rate of ex-
change. 1t is hard to imagine an
American workman even trying to
compete with this kind of labor. A
glazing example of this cut-thrOat
competition is found in the German
made wire kitchen ware being brought
into this country. This consists of
cake trays, soap trays, egg and cream
heaters, glass holders and other kin
dred articles, all made of twisted
wire The original cost of manufact-
uring tbs merchandise is so low that
it costs the importer only about $50
to fill an order for $500 worth of this
kitchenware in this country. This
shows. plainly the chief reason why
importers are opposed to a Protective
Tariff and an American valuation
system. Not because it will increase
the cost of the article to the consumer
here, for the importer has no more
thought for the consumer than a cat
has for a mouse. The fact is, a Pro
tective Tariff will cut down their wide
margin of profit and would not enable
them to realize over 200 per cent on
their turnovers.
One thing is certain-the importer
Is not in business for the benefit of
the consumer. He is in it for what
benefits he can derive from the con-
sumner. All these cries about the Pro
tective Tariff increasing the cost of
the product to the consumer are pure
rot and are made for the purpose of
misleading the public. If these ped
dlers of foreign merchandise are so
deeply concerned about the welfare of
the American consumer why 90 they
not turn their efforts to the sale Of
American-made goods and thereby in
sure steady employment for the
American consumer, so as to enable
him to procure the necessities of life
without hardship? 1t seems incred-
ible that American worBmen should
be forced to walk the streets because
of lack of work while store counters
are piled high with cutlery, toys and
kitchen utensils stamped with the
words, Made in Germany or Made
in japan. American Economist.

Ask him what brought the creameries.
and he will tell you better roads.
While milk has slumped somewhat at
times in this section, ii has never
halted the dairy business, and farm
ers are now reporting fair profits in
dairying. The wealth that good roads
has brought TO tkis section in dairy
ing alone is astonishing. We are
striving for more wealth and pros
perity by building still more good
roads. Experience has taught us that
good roads, wealth and prosperity go
hand in hand.

ROAD MARKERS AID TOURISTS
Trunk Highways Designated by Num-
Der to Correspond With One
on Official Map.

Since the adoption Of a standardized
system OF highway markers by the
state Of Wisconsin, five other states
and England have followed the model
plan. Each Of the state trunk high
ways Is designated by number to cor
respond to the number on the official
road map. Markers have been placed
at close intervals carrying the number
shown on the map, making it easy
for the tourist to reach the most re-
mote villages in the state.

A farmer banker conference for
the purpose of working out better
plans for distributing the War Fin
ance Corporation loans, the discussion
of rural credits and the Federal Re
serve system in its relation to farm
ers has been called by Ralph Snyder,
president of Kansas State Farm Blu
reau. The Conference will be held
at Representative Hall, Topeka, Jan
uary II, beginning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Snyder says the discussion will
De opened with talks by two prom
inent farmers and two bankers to be
selected by representatives of the
banking interests. The conference
is to be held on the day following the
marketing conference called by the
state board of agriculture and the
day before the regular annual meeting
of the state board
There has been considerable COM
plant on the part of farmers that the
War Finance Corporation loans were
not being administered in a way to be
of benefit to agriculture, and that the
Federal Reserve System is not func-
tioning in behalf of farmers as it is in
behalf of other industries.
Mr.. Snyder has sent out letters to
more than a thousand prominent Kan
sas farmers asking them to be pres
ent. He has also set a letter through
the banking associations of the state
to every banker in Kansas. He be-
ieves that the conference will result
in a better understanding between
farmers and bankers, and an extra
effort on the part of bankers to give
the farmer financial aid in getting
through the present depression.
