Farmers Taxed Too
Much, Says Rice

st. Paul.-"Too much taxation IL
strangling the farming business,
says H. H. Rice, chairman Of the taxa
tion committee of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce.
Taxation is the first point where
the farming business is suffering
more than other lines.
Studies by the National Industrial
Conference Board show that the aver
age farmer pays 1876 per cent Of his
income in taxes, rs compared with
IL IL per cent which the average
citizen pays.
"The farmer doesn't have the OPP
tion Of taking the railroad train or
the subway instead Of the automo-
bile. He must use his motor vehicle
in order to reach these main lines of
communication.
"The motor vehicle is the trans
portation line between the farm and
the town.
when the farmer buys car or
truck he must pay a tax of per
cent on the wholesale value and 2 IL
per cent on any repair parts.

Commissioners File Final
Report on Widening of
Sheridan Road.
ONLY MINOR CHANGES
Final Report Clings to Original
Plan for Assessments as
Mapped Out in Report.

Another step in the legal procedure
for the widening Of Sheridan road be-
tween Market street and Prairie ave-
nue. was taken this morning when the
final report of the court commission
ers, named to establish benefits and
damages in connection with the pro-
posed improvement, was filed in the
circuit court of KenoshaN county.
The final report differs only in few
minor details from the preliminary re-
port, made public, several weeks ago.
Pursuant to the law the commission
has held hearings on the preliminary
report and has taken into considera-
tion the evidence laid before them at
the hearings. The changes which
were made are slight changes in the
amount Of benefits and damages in two
cases, in each Of which it was shown
that slight error had been made.
The final report keeps to the general
plan which was outlined by the court
commission at the time that the pre-
liminary report was made public This
plan provided for the city to pay APP
proximately one-third of the cost Of
the Improvement, the remainder to be
met by assessments on property 'front.'
ing on the widened street and in a
district, adjoining the improvement,
which according to the commission, is
benefited more than other parts Of
the city.
The final report made no change in
this general plan. The district was
left the same as outlined in the pre-
liminary report.
The report now goes into the court
records. If property owners are not
satisfied they may within thirty days
file an appeal, which will be heard as
any other court case with jury to
decide on the question involved The
court has already ruled that the i'm
provement is a public and immediate
necessity and that point will not be at
issue in any subsequent proceedings.

Says Gas Valves On
Airship Were Free
Lieutenant Mayer Testifies That He
Had Ordered All of Them
Uncovered.

Lakehurst, n. ~ ALI covers
on the automatic helium valves on the
airship Shenandoah were removed on
the first rapid ascent in the storm on
September 8, Lieut.. Roland G. Mayer,
construction officer on board, testified
today before the naval court of inquiry.
The officer said he personally re-
moved the covers from two of the
valves and ordered those on two
others removed The other four
valves were uncovered before the ship
left Lakehurst.
Lieut.. Mayer denied the purpose of
the covers was to prevent the escape
of helium gas; that their function was
to prevent the gas bags sucking in air.
The rate of the rise of the Shenan-
doah on the first uncontrolled flight
was not as rapid as the ship had
gone up on three occasions in other
fights, Mayer said.
