To the DAILY WORKER: have

Err for the past six months and wish
to say that l have never read a paper
that enjoyed so thoroly. l have
always been radical. / never knew
what kind, until one day a fellow

Aside from its wonderfully-written
news columns, like its editorials
best. ! can hardly wait to scan thru
the paper to get to them, real, live

Its influence at the present time is
very powerful-thanks to the dis

are dissatisfied at the present time.
All they need is leader and the
DAILY WORKER is an able, innuen-

begun to approach maturity.
Mr.. Reeve does not contend that
by using electric lights the egg yield
OF each hen is increased per year. al
though this may be the case, but he
does find that the egg yield is more
evenly distributed throughout the
year, so that at no season Is he short

beginning about October 1 and are
continued every evening until about
the middle OF March.
He keeps the hens on a regular

electric lights. II there are only ten
hours Of natural light he turns on the
electric lights for two hours. If day
light lasts eleven hours. then he turns
on the lights for one hour.
The effect OF the lights, he has
found, is apparently to shorten the
moulting period of the hens and thus
prolong the egg laying period. Chick

tinued laying eggs through December

RAILROAD SITUA.
TON IN WISCONSIN
Vice-President and General Counsel
of the Northwestern Railway
Company Makes Address.

Baraboo, Wis.-Speaking before
the Kiwanis club Of Baraboo, F. w.
Sargent, vice-president and general
counsel of the Chicago and North
Western Railway company, said in
part:
"In discussing the railroad situa-
ton before an audience in Wiscon-
sin, deem it appropriate to give
consideration to the status of trans
portation companies serving the
people of Wisconsin.
fThe roads having the largest
mileage and rendering the greater
portion of your common carrier
service are the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway Company, and the
Chicago and North Western Railway
System.
"In considering the effect Of any
suggestion for reduction of rates
upon the two railroad systems which
transact the larger portion of your
business, it is important to keep in
mind not only what has happened to
the farmers since the pre-war days,
but also what has happened to the
owners Of the railroads.
During the period that the United
States was engaged in the war, and
for a short time thereafter, the
agricultural communities enjoyed
unusual prosperity arising out of the
high, wartime prices for the pro-
ducts of the farm. Not so with the
railroads. The Chicago, Milwaukee
q st. Paul Railway Company has not
paid its stockholders dividend since
1917. The stockholders OF the
North Western System received no
higher dividends during the war
period than they had received prior
thereto, Notwithstanding the fact
that the value of their dollars, in
common with the dollars of all of the
rest of our people, was considerably
depleted.
1.-THE Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis g. Omaha Railway Company,
which is a part Of the North Western
System, has now passed its common
dividend entirely and the North
Western Company has been obliged
to reduce its dividend to a four per
cent basis
1--WE hear a great deal about the
value of the farmers dollar, Irving
Fisher publishes table from time to
time, the latest of which l believe
showed that every mans dollar was
worth only 65 cents of the 1928
dollar, This, Of course, applies to
the stockholders dollar in common
with all others. Therefore, the four
per cent dividend of the railway
stakeholder is only equal to a
dividend of &c per cent on the 1918
basis
Therefore, the answer to any
proposal to reduce rates is to have
the railroads so reduce their ex-
penses that they can continue to
render the service demanded by the
people of Wisconsin Notwithstanding
the proposed reductions in revenues.
1--WE are therefore led to inquire
by what process these reductions in
expenses can be accomplished. We
have no control over taxes because
these are levied by the States and the
Federal Government. We are
obliged to pay current market prices
for all our supplies and materials.
We cannot reduce our interest
charges because these are fixed by
the terms of the outstanding
mortgages and bonds.

Total 10000 cent


Looking at the foregoing table, |
ask you, as business men, to pick out
the items where it would be possible
to make any reductions in expenses
and continue to render for you the
transportation service which you
require.
1.-THE item for taxes of 6.16 cents
you would at once say could not be
reduced because that is fixed by the
States and the Federal Government.
"The item of 7.67 cents for in
terest could not be reduced because
that is fixed by the terms OF the
mortgages and bonds, and failure to
pay it would mean foreclosure.
"The item of a cents for
dividends could be eliminated if you
are willing to say that you do not
propose to permit the stockholders
to have any return whatever upon
their investment. | do not believe
you are willing to say this.
81 have already explained that we
may look for no material reductions
in cost of materials, and we are
dependent upon general market
conditions for these The remain
ing item of expenditure, and the
largest of all, is that for wages
"Since, therefore, as | have al
ready demonstrated, the railroads Of
Wisconsin under the existing level of
rates, are barely making enough
money to pay the interest on their
bonds, and some of them are making
nothing for dividends and few
making enough for very low and
inadequate dividends, it must follow
that any proposal to reduce rates is
based upon an intention to reduce
wages of railroad employees.
81 cannot agree to such a proposal
and it does not fit well with the
general conduct of our radical
statesmen toward railway employees
and clearly shows a failure to
comprehend the difficulties which
lie in the path of our reduction in
rates. Railway service is cheap at
its present cost and under all con-
siderations merits the confidence
and defense of all right minded
citizens.

Therefore, we must look for
reductions to other items Of expense
This makes it important to
ascertain just what use the railroads
are making of the money that Is
paid to them by shippers and
passengers. I do not have the
complete figures for 1923, but they
will not be substantially different
than those of 1922, which show as

The Gasoline Tax For Highway

Purposes.
BY F. A. Cannon, Executive Secret
airy, Good Roads Association of
Wisconsin.
There is much discussion and in
terest throughout the state in the
question of levying a tax on gasoline
1sed in motor vehicles, the proceeds
to go to highway improvement
This series of articles proposes to
give the fact regarding the gasoline
tax.
The first law providing for a
gasoline tax for road purposes was
enacted by the state of Oregon in
1919. Other states began to
follow the example of Oregon until
today there are SO states with
gasoline tax laws, with rates as
follows:
Four cents a gallon, Arkansas ;
three cents a gallon, Arizona,
Florida, Georgia, North Caroline,
Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia /;
two one-half cents q gallon Utah /;
two cents gallon, Montana,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wash
ington, Alabama, California, Della
ware, Idaho, Indiana, Massachusetts,
Nevada, New Hamshire, Tennessee,
West Virginia; One cent a gallon,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Maine,
Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont, Wyom-
ing.
The Governor of Michigan vetoed
a gasoline tax bill passed by the last
legislature, but recently announced
that he will sign such bill if passed
by the legislature and if the license
rate is equitably adjusted. Mime
sofa will vote on gasoline tax con-
stitutional amendment at the Nov
ember election this year with every
indication that it will pass. Bills
are now pending in several legisla-
lures in session providing for
gasoline tax laws.
1t is not only significant that SO
of the as states have thus far passed
laws of this character, but it is
equally significant that IA of the
states which enacted gasoline tax
laws prior to January /, 1928, raised
the rate of taxation at the legislative
session held in that year. The
willingness to pay more indicated a
general satisfaction with the gasoline
tax law. 1t may be observed that
this legislation has been so successful
in other states that there is marked
tendency throughout the country in
the direction of cutting the license
rate and increasing the rate of
gasoline taxes.
In view of the impressive roll of
states which have adopted this
method of financing highway i'm
provement the facts regarding this
law are of interest to the people of
Wisconsin inasmuch as they have a
big highway program to finance.

Carroll Drafts Bill.

Madison.-Senator J. H. Carroll,
of 18th district, will introduce a
bill in the coming session of the
legislature to provide that all
chatted mortgages must be filed
with county registers of deeds.
The Senator said in an interview
at Madison that he has closely OBJ
served the Wisconsin system of
filing mortgages and has come to
the conclusion that another sys-
tenn should be instituted.
Under the present Wisconsin
system, mortgages are filed with
the town clerks where the property
is located. Senator Carroll de-
clared that it is often necessary to
seek out the town clerk in order
to find what incumberances there
are against property. Many of the
town clerks know but little of
their duties and the result is con-
fusion he declared.
If the bill becomes a law any
property in any county could be
inspected at the central office OF
register of deeds, and, according
to Senator Carroll, it would be
better systematized.
