PEAVEY ON
TAX REDUCTION
ton on the Mellon Tax Redue-
lion Plan.

Washington, ID. c., March 5, 1924.
Representative Peavey, in his speech
ON the Mellon Tax Reduction Plan,
took straight from the shoulder
crack at the president and secretary
of the treasury, and came out flat
footed for the Frear amendments to
the bill.
1t is a significant fact that while
the President and his Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, find them
selves in the lamentable position of
being unable to collect the taxes
from persons of great wealth, due to
loop holes in and evasions of the
present law" said Mr. Peavey,
Secretary Melons bill does not
propose a single remedy to stop these
disreputable practices.
Congressman Frear's amendment
contain four comprehensive pro-
posats to make the rich nay in the
same proportion as the poor; First,
An amendment to take the income
from tax free securities; second, An
excess profit tax to stop profiteer-
ing; third, A tax on undivided pro-
fits: fourth, An amendment to give
publicity to all federal tax records
similar TO the state law in effect in
Wisconsin today.

That traffic accidents on high
ways, as well as on crowded city
streets are happening too often, and
with too serious results, is the con-
clusion reached by al ,omotive in
terests after careful fudy Of the
question.
To aid in clearing up a difficult
situation and finding a remedy for
the trouble, the Traffic Planning and
Safety Committee IF the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
is enlisting the interest and support
of newspapers all over the country,
ASKING that in reporting motor
accidents they endeavor to ascertain
the cause and forward a weekly
summary to the headquarters of the
committee in New York.
Newspapers already render a public
service in reporting highway catas-
trophies, but that service viii be
more constructive when facts are
developed showing why accidents
occur, so that the public may know
where the weak spots are.
In a general way, motor accidents
are caused by carlessness in driving,
improper traffic regulation, jay
walking, insufficient lighting of

FARMS USING RADIO
NEAR 10000 MARK
Survey Reveals Its Value in Agri-
cuIture-StationS Broadcast
Special Farm Information.

The rapidly with which radio has
spread in farming communities Is re-
vealed by a recent survey made by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. County agents estimate
that there are approximately 10000
radio sets in 700 counties. This Is an
average Of ffty-seven sets per county.
APT ring the average to 1850 agrlcul-
tural counties. a total of more than
$4,000 sets on farms throughout the
country is estimated. The survey
covers every state in the Union.
Radio broadcasting stations, and
there are now about 500 licensed sta
lions in the country, devote part OF
their programs to the interests Of the
farmer. WGY, the General Electric
Company's station at Schenectady, N.
Y, reads daily produce market quota
tions. weather reports and gives out
other information Of value to the
farmer. During the month of July
special harvest weather report was
sent out each noon, and Arlington
time signals are broadcast daily at
noon.
A new feature Of interest to farm
ers has just been announced by WGY.
On the last Monday evening OF each
month there will be a special talk on
farm bureaus and farm information,
which will be given from 7:15 to 7:45
o'clock, eastern standard time. This
has been arranged in cooperation
with the New York State Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
That the farmers appreciate the
broadcast reports is daily brought to
the attention of the management of
WGY through letters. II. A. Williams,
living on R. F. D. No. 1, Bethel, VT, re-
Gently wrote as follows: 81 beg to ad-
wise you that your weather forecasts
are valuable to a farmer like myself,
as they enable us to govern our har-
yesting movements more successfully
than we could do If we did not have a
general idea of weather prospects.
Your reports give us from "a to SO
hours advance information. We ap-
preciate the benefits we receive in
this way"
Lynn Brown, farmer at Roseboom.
N. Y. wrote: 1--WE are farmers and
greatly enjoy your program. We also
like the weather report as it keeps us
informed as to the weather for hay

when help is scarce and the radio

Save The Roads.

the time of the year is here when
stone and gravel roads are under
going the hardest strain and enforce
ment of the law regarding the use Of
the roads when the ground is thaw-
ing is essential
But law enforcement will not solve
the problem by any means. There
must be a desire on the part of users
of the roads to do the right thing re-
gardless of the inconvenience that
they may be caused.
Some owners of heavy motor
trucks communicate with road of
ficials before driving on the roads,
when they feel that heavy travel may
damage them.
If this spirit were shown by all
who use the roads for hauling heavy
loads, there would be no problem and
taxpayers would be saved thousands
of dollars which are spent annually
to repair highways that are cut up in
the late winter and early spring.
All too often people who try to
leave the impression that they mean
what they say never say much.

THE GASOLINE TAX
The Why and Wherefore of This
Tax Explained by Wisconsin's
Good Roads Secretary.

BY F. A. Cannon, Executive Sec'y,
Good Roads Assn. of Wisconsin.
The gasoline tax TO finance high
way work has been adopted in SO
Of the AZ states. Several other
states are considering it. Those
which adopted it some years ago are
increasing the rates. There must
be a reason for this tendency.
The reason is found in the increas-
ing expenditures for highway i'm
provement and the increasing tax
burden. In the past ninety per cent
Of the cost of road improvement was
paid for by a general property
tax-personal and real property, the
farms, the homes, the business
houses. The general property tax
has reached the peak point and pro-
tests are being heard on every hand.
Yet at the same time there is a
demand for road construction and
maintenance. The number of
motor vehicles is increasing at an
amazing rate. Today there are
100000 motor cars in Wisconsin.
Ten years ago there were $4,000,
and five years ago 100000. The
increase has been far faster than
any one dared To predict.
To show what this means it may
be said that travelling 5000 miles a
year, the 100000 motor vehicles in
Wisconsin will travel a total Of 3
3O0,000,O00 miles, while the railroad
mileage is not over 50,000,000 miles.
The total weight of these motor
vehicles on the roads of Wisconsin is
over 100000 tons. If every auto
mobile in Wisconsin backed up to a
filling tank and took on 10 gallons
of gasoline, it would mean 100000
gallons, which at rs cents a gallon,
would made the total bill S1,150,000.
Here we have a problem-a new
form of highway traffic running at
a highly destructive speed and de-
manding good roads for their
economical operation and on the
other hand the general property tax
which has been financing our road
building almost entirely overloaded
and burdensome. Some one might
suggest that we cut out building to
the bone. If we did the motor
vehicle owners would quickly find
that the cost of the operation of their
cars on bad roads would be far more
than the taxes they pay for good
roads
AS an instance, experiments made
show that where it costs $500 for
/ the gasoline used in a motor vehicle
running a given mileage on an
ordinary dirt road, it costs $3.50 on
gravel, and $100 on a paved road
Experiments with loaded trucks show
that these trucks ran II Y miles on
a gallon Of gasoline on a paved road
and So on a dirt road. And re-
member that gasoline consumption is
not the only factor of cost.
We needed the roads to operate
out automobiles with economy and
yet the property taxes which had
paid for them was beginning to
pinch

Free explosives for settlers who
want to clear cut-over timber lands
for agricultural purposes will be
n ade possible if a bill just introduce
ed by Congressman Peavey becomes
a law. 1t provides that $2,000,000
be appropriated for this purpose.
Picric Acid and Sodatal has been
furnished to the settlers at cost by
the Federal Government; but the
supply of the former is now ex-
hausted, and it is reported that the
Sodatol supply will not last through
the year.
Mr.. Peavey's bill provides that the
Bureau of Public Roads shall
acquire, prepare, and cartridge
suitable explosives and distribute
them free to bona fide settlers. In
Wisconsin, this will be done under
direction of the State Department Of
Agriculture.
The government has already spent
more than $200,000,000 in reclama-
ton projects in western states that
are 1000 miles from the nearest
market. 1t cost $7,OO0,0OO a year
to maintain these projects Mr..
Peavey, in speaking for his bill, said
that while he favored such projects,
there is no good reason why the
government should not spend
$2,000,000 to reclaim a much larger
acreage of cut-oyer timber land in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan,
which is rich in soil and adjacent to
the worlds greatest markets.

PRAISES THE LEGION

g PEAKING editorially, the Re

the American Legion is its habit
Of calling a spade a spade rath-
er than "a spatulated implement
resembling the shovel but
heavier and adapted for being
pushed into the ground with the
foot The gum shoe and the
velvet glove are not to be found
in the wardrobe of the American
Legion, and soft-pedaling, side
steppinS shadow-boxing and
holding the auricular organ to
the terra flrma are not among
its fav0rite outdoor or indoor
sports. When it warts to
denounce as un-American an or
ganization that seeks to draw
religion, racial and color lines, 1t
does not content itself with talk
ing generalities regarding the
Constitution Of the United States
and the Declaration of indie
pendenre, but mentions the Of
Tending organization by name.
The American Legion believes In
laying its cards on the table-in
hitting straight from the Shout

in everything 1t says and does.
Perhaps that is one of the les
sons It's members learned during
their service In the army. At
