D. C. HEADS ASK IMPROVED
ROADWAY AT OCCOQUAN
Ask Congress for Authority to Co.
operate With Virginia on Res
ervation Thoroughfare.

The District Commissioners. in a
letter received by Chairman Zihlman
of the House District committee to-
day urged the passage of a bill pro-
viding for the grading and mainte-
nance of the Virginia State highway
through the District Workhouse and
Reforrlatory reservation at OccoQuan,
Va.
The object of this bill is to authorize
the District Commissioners to tCo-
operate with the highway commission
of Virginia in the grading incident to
the construction and maintaining
that part of the Virginia State high
way that will pass through the Dis
trict reservation at Occoquan and
the cost of maintaining the road to
be charged to the District appropria-
ton act for the repair of roads at
that institution.
The bill also provides that the loca-
ton of the State highway through
OCcoquan reservation shall be subject
to the approval of the Commissioners.
The Commissioners explained that
no specific appropriation of District
revenues will be required in connec-
ton with the grading or maintenance
of the road through the reservation.
The recommendation follows eXten.
sive conferences with the Virginia
State highway authorities. The d.
rector of the Bureau of the Budget
has reported that this measure will
not be in conflict with the financial
program of the President.

GIVE FARMERS DUE,

Former Governor Warns Pro-

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE
States is running down at "A dangerous

The problem, Mr.. Lowden asserted.

products. but that of getting a larger
share of the consumers price for the
producer
If the farmer does not receive an
adequate price, two things will surely

least the cost of production for the
things he sells. The result will be

Missouri--the seventh agricultural
State in the Union-disclosed the fact
that more than 10 per cent Of all the
farms there were vacant last year.
The other result is even more dis

pletlnS of our soil.
THE city dweller is virtually in
terested in having the farmer receive
such price for his product as to en-
able him to go on producing and con-
serve the fertility of his soil. 1t is
probable that the consumer of food is
already paying enough and possibly in
some instances more than he ought
to pay. The farmer does not. how
ever. under the present system of
marketing and distribution, receive
his proper share
Mr.. Lowden said a way must he

products. Progress in an industry is
measured by its approach to stabiliza-
ton of prices, he said. Wild fluctua-
| tons in the price of any essential
commodity always result in loss 10

to the consumer. The tendency in
America for the last quarter of a

stabilized prices, save in agriculture
