Oklahoma or Oregon, and almost
much as was paid by the people ~
Iowa, Kansas or Washington. Wb;l.
question whether the wealth of co,
orado is as evenly distributed as !,
any of these other states, it is bo,.
and the problem for the legislatp,.
to deal with is to see that all wea,th
shares its just burden of taxation
This it does not do now. The man =,
moderate means, the farmer. tho
merchant, the stock raiser, the bor,,
and real estate owners, and the npb.
lie utilities all of whose property !,
fully assessed and taxed pay their
portion and in addition they paw the
taxes of those whose property is mt
now assessed and taxed. The wav N
reach, the only way to reach, effect.
lively this unassessed and untaxea
wealth, as the experience of other
states and countries has clearlv
shown, is through an income tax law
"In response to your request for
specific suggestions would enact +,
straight income tax law, imposing
a tax of two per cent with such eY.
emptions as are usual with a further
reduction for taxes paid on tangible
property. This would make certain
that the burden of the already over.
burdened property owner would no.
be increased. By such a law, am
confident our taxes, stite and local
could be reduced at least third
and the saving to the present tax.
payers measured in dollars instead
of cents as it will be by the proposed
reduction in state expenses"
The state income tax is not new
idea, it is now in existence in some
twenty odd states in the union, none
of which I believe have ever re.
pealed such an act.
therefore feel that the solution
of our tax problems is not to be
found in the code bill, altho, am in
favor of measure similar to the
Lambert bill which would eliminate
useless boards and commissions and
consolidate others thereby saving ex.
penses and make for greater eff.
cheney. 1t is not to be found in the
stopping of duplication of courses in
the institutions of higher learning,
altho this, too, in my opinion would
save expense. The question is this
if we continue to maintain our pres
ent standard of schools, roads and
the proper maintenance of our penal
and charitable institutions, the only
means that I see of lowering our
very high property tax is thru a
state income tax.

SOLVING UNCLE sAWs SHIPPING PROBLEM

THE members of the American Ship Owners Associ-
alton have come forward to advise Uncle Sam how to
solve his merchant marine problem.
They suggest that the magnificent fleet Of merchant
ships which cost the people of heUned States approx
imatey $3O00O00000 shall be either "junked sold to
private interests for whatever they will bring without
restrictions
In that way, the patriotic gentlemen of the Ship
Owners Association ship will be very
embarrassing competition.
In other words if Uncle Sam is foolish to
Junk" the peoples merchant feet the Shipping Trust
will be in position to put up and increase div
idends.
1t is all charmingly simple and of the men
who advance the suggestion 400 per Ameri-

FARMER PUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

letter from the boys on the ranch,

rusty and mired down in the ma.
chine yard and that it CANT be
oiled up or overhauled till the snow
goes off and the mud dries up.
sez to Josephine: "Ain't that just
like farmers luck? Here it's near
time fur us to be drillin' our spring
wheat in and the ground so wet We
CANT get out in the field, and the
tractor in bad shape and"
She stopped me right thar and sez:
'Yes, the tractor is in bad shape, but
whose fault is it Tom? The weather
man or. yourn? You see that sewin
machine? Well, it cost me $50 and
that's just about 20 times less than
your tractor cost you amt it? If !
had as much sense as you men think
you got, why I'd take my sewin' ma
chine, my churn and the milk sepa-
rator and set 'em out in the corral
Air and sunshine is good fur keepin
the germs outen' the separator and |
CANT think of nuthin' better then
the same treatment fur the sewin
machine, because it'll crack the var
nish, rust the framework and get it
generally out of condition, so when
l come to do my spring sewin' why
it'll have to be put off because the
machines stuck in the slush."
But Josephine" sez I, "it's diff
ferent with tractor; we CANT haul
our big machines in the house."
NO" she sez, "but you'll spend
sixty or seventy dollars in repairs
this spring and lose two hundred
dollars in delays fur which you could
have put up a machine shed last
fall. Tom, if you'd help the boys .
little with the ranch and quit swap

The Man Behind the Carburetor

Sydney Anderson, of Minnesota, Chairman OF the JOINT
Committee of Agricultural Enquiry, which recently made an Ii.
vestigation of the various factors entering into the marketing OF
farm products, makes it clear that the fads OF the city folk
and their demand for constant change and variety play quite
a part in the seemingly low prices paid to farmers for original
products.
In the case of a package of rolled oats retailing for 20 cents
which the original producer sold for 80 cents a bushel, the fol
80 cents represented expenses Of doing business and ! cent
his profit. The wholesaler received 18 cents OF which 3 was
profit. The manufacturer got 90 cents of which 2 cents we're
profit, IL cents taxes, 16 cents transportation. IL cents adyer-
Using, 13 cents selling cost, and 18 cents cost OF manufacture.
The elevator which handled the oats got a cents and the rail
road 5 and the farmer 35.
Fair-minded men will see injustice in this price to the
farmer, yet no one seems to have made extortionate profit at his
expense.
It is well, too, to consider the effect on prices Of the great
variety of goods of a like kind demanded by the public. There
are countless thousands of brakds of all kinds of goods multi
piled by the consumer to the point of absurdity. This means
large stocks must be carried by retailers, and capital tied up,
all of which the consumer has to pay.
The farmer may be exploited by the trader, but the people
plainly are exploiting themselves.

MAN Is TO BLAME

If u women are unbalanced or
unseated or out Of place, what Is
the cause? Who is to blame? Who
brought about this change? There
Is but n answer. Her God-de-
creed protector is to blame. Man
is wholly responsible.
Woman's place is home. Her
throne is the domestic circle. She
didn't leave it of her own volition.
She didn't sacrifice her place volun-
tarfly. Man is wholly responsible
for the unbalanced condition of
woman. 1t is his business to pro-
vide and protect. And it is his
business to exercise the righteous
discipline necessary to a perfect
home.
He has utterly failed. He has
failed through indulgence, because
Of a lack Of courage, a sense of re-
sponsibility, and a willingness to
face his plain duty. He has prac-
ticed indulgence until he has made
the woman extremely extravagant.
The average girl hates work, de-
spises domestic responsibility, and
Is criminally conspiring to avoid
those high duties.
The man has neglected to build
the home. to make 1t attractive and
magnetic. Consequently, the woman
has gone out into the world. Many
of them because of necessity have
been forced into the trades to live.
Many of them have gone out into the
world because the head of the fam
lily did not perform his duty. did
not make the home happy, did not
regulate It.
Women have been thrown into
the nerve-wracking conditions of tho
outer world and the strain is too
great. her nerves are unsettled she
is unbalanced. Her unbalanced
condition has produced a state of
extravaganza. which is jeopardizing
the whole domestic life of America.
If fathers do not go back to their
homes. and husbands do not per-
form their duties as heads of their
families. the domestic life of Amer
lea will suffer irreparably.

People Are Exploiting Themselves

Conservative estimates place the number of motor vehicles
on the farms as $4,000 00, not counting motor driven farm ma
chinery. There are at least 300 1000 trucks and not less than
3,200000 automobiles, used by the farmers,
Considered in the light of general production, these figures
present a startling picture. In the background we can see in
addition to the farmers use of the car the millions of automo-
biles absorbed by the residents of the small towns where prac-
tcally every one owns a car. Obviously, the market for the
motor lies in the country, and. obviously, too, the astounding
growth of motor car absorption is a lasting tribute to the useful
ness Of the home town newspaper which has been the only means
of contact-except the sporadic scattering of a few magazines
between the motor car manufacturers and the great American
population living in country America.
No industry in history has shown the rapid and enormous
growth shown by the motor car industry, all of which has been
largely due to the vision of the industrial geniuses who have
brought about this transformation of our travel system. They
were all born in the country. They knew what contact with
country folk meant. and they have made persistent and consist
the buyers.
