Power To Lessen
Farmers Burden

by NEA Service !
Kansas City, Mo, Nov. ia farm
rr's Utopia in which much of the
heavy work of the field and the druid
gerry of the household are accom-
plishcd by electricity is being plan
ned by Professor H. b. Walker of
the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lcgc ut Manhattan, kas.
Professor Walker. half done with Il
series of experiments to determine
the extent to which electricity can
he used by farmers and farmers
wives hopes soon to continue the cX-
pcrmcnts in model farm commun-
ity.
In this model community farmers
and their wives would have Jas much
time for golf, visiting or other diver
sions as have city men and women.
Among the tasks which electricity
would perform for the farmer are
pumping water for livestock, grind
ing feed, furnishing better water
supply. thrcshing grain. curing hay,
preparing silagc. storing alfalfa.
milking, separating cream. sterliz-
ing milk and clean farm buildings.
Among the tasks which electrical
power would perform for women
are operating washing machines.
ironing. chopping foods, lighting
homes, heating water, cooking and
cleaning.
Whether the model community is
to be organized depends upon dc
cision of the public utility corpora
'ions that arranged with Professor
Walker and other Kansans to under
take the electrical farm survey. #
the corporations agree to provide the
funds. the experiment will be unde"-
taken.
Rapidly increased use Of electricity
on farms in the next ten years is
forecast by the eXperimenters- Pc
gardless of whether the experiment
tai community is formed.
The farm clcctrifcation survey
was undertaken last spring when
Gov. Jonathan Nj. Davis appointed
II special committee on the relation
of electricity to agriculture.
At first the cXperimenters attempt
ed to forecast the principal agricul
tural products of the state ten years
from today. Despite the trend to-
ward diversification of crops, it was
agreed that electricity would in
crease production as well as lightcn
the physical burden of farming.
Professor Walker points out that
by electrical means farmers easily
could save money as well as time.

Danger Ahead

American farmers should not in
crease their wheat acreage for 1924
II they increase the acreage by
three million acres. as is indicated
by the Intentions to Seed Wheat
Survey Of the government, and nor
NAL conditions again prevail IN
other wheat producing countries
next years wheat market will be
glutted and once more wheat prices
will be ruinously low. The presen,
high price Of wheat is due TO poor
crops in other countries and in Ger

OPPOSES Federal
RAIL OWNERSHIP
Government Operation Would
Mean Increased Taxation
for General Public,
Says Rail Head.

Opposition to Government own.
ership Of the railroads, not because
of the interests of the present own.
ers but rather because OF the bur.
dens and disadvantages the change
would impose upon the people as
a whole, was expressed by C. H.
Markham, president of the Illinois
Central Railroad, in an address be-
fore the recent convention of the
American Bankers Association.
I'VE have never favored Govern.
ment ownership as national poll
cy." Mr.. Markham said. III the
railroads are taken over by the
Government, we must face the fact
that the big step in reversing our
old and settled policy will be taken.
II there is no particular reason
why the Government should not
own and run the railroads, is there
any reason why it should not take
over also the banks, the stores, the
factories, the farms. until all of us
are Government employees and the
ideal OF the soviet is attained? The
railroads are the first line Of de-
tense against those who would
make this country second Russia.
The railroads have about 2,000.-
600 employees. approximately as
many employees as there are in all
the Government services-Federal,
State, county and municipal--put
together. If the railroads are taken
over by the Governm ent. there will
be one Government employee out
Of every ten wage earners in the
country. instead Of one out OF
every twenty, as at present.
Doubling Taxation
"Then, too, there is the matter
u taxation. The railroads, under
private ownership. are among our
heaviest taxpayers. Last year they
paid taxes amounting to So for
every man, woman and child in the
country. In some counties, par
ticularly in the Middle West, the
railroads pay from 10 per cent to
nearly so per cent of the taxes col
lected. Under Government owner
ship. the railroads would be no
more subject to taxation than the
post Offices now are. In some way
the Government would have to
make up the difference Of 50 q
head for every person In the coun.
try. In many counties the taxes on
the remaining property would have
to be nearly doubled. The result
would be an unbearable burden
that might force many OF our local
governments to stop payments on
their bonds and 60 into bankruptcy.
The tax problem would be q great

HOW TO STOP CAR

suddenly. Begin to reduce your
speed SO feet or more from the stop
ping point and simply roll up and
halt with Il final and gentle applica.

the brakes and then release them m
stead of putting them on and hold
