FARMERS SUFFERING
FROM LOSSES OF 1920
Retail Dry Goods Men Hear the Real
Reason for Troubles of
the Farmers.

Milwaukee, Wis!--Farmers of the
country are not suffering from losses
incurred as the result. of 1928 opera
ton, but from the losses incurred
in 1920 and 1921, according to a state
ment made today before the seventh
annual convention of the Wisconsin
Retail Dry Goods association, here,
by T. w. Dickey, bank economist, of
Milwaukee.
The fact that the bankers were able
to liquidate their debts to banks to
a large extent during 1922 and 1923,
indicates, Mr.. Dickey said, that but
for bad debts, the year 1928 would
have been fairly prosperous year.
The net position of the farming pop
ulation was substantially better, he
added, because prices of farm products
rose more during the year than the
farmers cost Of living and doing
business.
the population, farmers are over
hurdened with taxes" Mr.. Dickey de-
cIared. "The farmer finds his tax
bill increased because of the interest
charges that states and counties in
Cured on their bonds"
In the retail line. merchants and
retailers are in fair position, accord
ing to the speaker, who cited that
these individuals are buying caut,-
ously, are not laying in huge stocks,
find no imitation of prices and no
scarcity of goods, as was the case in
the years of the war. Railroads, he
said were in n nosition tn inSura
prompt delivery and retailers generally
are not beset with fears that the alb
normal or the unexpected will happen.
Volume of retail trade in the country,
even allowing for lower price level,
in 1928, exceeded the volume in 1920,
he said. Wage earners are in better
position as wages are keeping ahead
of living costs and there was full
quota of employment in 1928, the
speaker concluded.

STATE BIRMINGHAM
Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Finds That Ii Con-
ficts With an Old Agreement
of the State.

Madison, Wis.-The state railroad
commission has no authority to au-
thorize formation of drainage districts
which will in any way affect the navi-
gable waters of the Mississippi river,
the supreme court declared today in
reversing the decision of the lower
court in the case of Herman Haas VS..
j. R. Hutson from Crawford county.
The, decision limits the commissions
jurisdiction under the drainage dis
triet law, and makes the law in
operative in this respect.
In an opinion by Chief Justice
Vinje, the court declared that the
state was prohibited from impairing
the navigable waters of the Mississippi
in the original grant of northwestern
territory The opinion states that no
state law can be construed to au-
thorize such impairment, contrary
to the federal constitution and acts
of Congress.
Large areas of navigable waters
would be destroyed, an interstate ferry
line prevented from running and miles
of sloughs rendered useless for navi-
CATION if the proposed work is car
ried out" the opinion said. 'Under
such circumstances, there is no sup
port in the evidence for the finding
of the railroad commission and it must
be set aside"

Will Talk Before Joint Meeting
of the Rotary and Kiwanis
Clubs on Thursday.

Cameron Beck, personnel director of
the New York Stock Exchange, will adj
dress a joint meeting of the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs at a MONDAY lunch
con at the Elks' club. on Thursday. A
naturally gifted speaker, Mr.. Beck has,
through his long experience with the
hundreds of employees of the Ex-
change, had an opportunity to observe
closely the principles which make for
success, and is able to tell what he mas
seen with force which drills his mes
sage into the minds of his audience.
During the past season he has spok-
en- to hundreds of business clubs and
schools throughout the country, and
hundreds of letters of appreciation
testify to the manner in which his ad-
dresses were received. Mr.. Beck is
blessed with pleasing personality and
address and has the rare knack of
"getting himself across the boards
Since taking over the personnel de-
partment of the Stock Exchange Mr..
Beck has succeeded in very materially
raising the educational standard of
the employees. He has let it become
noised about on the floor that the boys
and men who are studying are the ones
who are in line for promotion.
Large Number of Boys.
On the floor of the Exchange there
are the largest number of "teen" age
boys employed by any commercial in
stitution in the city of New York. By
reason of their position employees. Of
the Stock Exchange are brought into
active personal contact with the LOO
members OF the Exchange, a large
number of whom are employers of
men. These employees have the unique
opportunity of doing their daily work
under the direct observation of the
members of the Exchange. Records
show that the number of employees iii
former years have become telephone
clerks of members, and during the last
seven years, seventeen have become
members of the Exchange,

Employees are requested to notify the
personnel department as soon as they

jects to be taken. Because Of this pei
icy the, number of high school gradu-
ates has increased from one TO hun

Knows Big Men.
Mr.. Beck, from his association with
members of the Stock Exchange, has
his fingers on the finapcial pulse Of the
nation, and knows what the biggest
money merchants in the country want
to find in men. He realizes the calibre
of young men they are hunting for,
and he knows that there are certain
elements which make for
success.

BLAME TAX FOR
BUS INCREASE
Increase in Fares on Buses
to Racine Blamed Onto
High Taxes.
NEW FARE is 80 CENTS

Heavy increases in state and NUM-
cipal taxation of motor buses together
with cost of maintaining high stand
ard of continuous service in winter al
well as in summer have forced a re-
adjustment of bus fares, according to
an announcement made by the Wiscon-
sin Motor Bus Lines, the largest OPP
orators of motor buses in the state.
This company which is covering APP
lproximately 600 miles of route in Wis
consin and serving numerous communi-
| ties without any other means of pub-
| lie transportation, has just announced
that in January it will readjust some
of its rates of fare to take care OF
these additional cost burdens.
Most of the buses operated by this
company have to pay not only an an
nual state tax ranging from 1886 TO
S345 per bus, but as well heavy tax
! in Milwaukee and tax in a large
number of the cities and towns
through which these buses operate.
The company feels that if it is to con-
tinue rendering a reasonably good
service and keep its buses operating in
winter as we'll as in summer, it must
increase its revenue.
Cleared Roads Recently.
During the recent snow storm the
company spent thousands of dollars in
keeping the highways throughout
southeastern Wisconsin open, employ
ing for that purpose 15-ton tractor
equipped with plows and also num-
Der of four-wheel drive trucks SINH
larly equipped. 1t is necessary for it
to earn the cost of operation including
some return on investment, if service
to the travelling public is to be main
tanned
The law enacted by the last legisla-
ture, taxing motor vehicles on the bas-
is of weight and seating capacity, pro-
vides for a tax on buses six times as
great as on passenger cars and three
times as great as on trucks. > Various
municipalities have also adopted or
dinances taxing buses, including Mil
