For the last two years Washington,
after careful examination of the com

and actual tax burdens of American
cities and in consideration Of all the
relevant equities, has convinced itself
that a tax rte of $l7O, imposed upon
its comparatively high assessment val

compared with that imposed upon the
average comparable American city.
Since the assessment valuation of
Washington has recently been in

The SchOlar-Farmer
By GLENN FRANK
President University Of Wisconsin Editor
Century Magazine

Does it pay the boy who intends to
be a farmer to so to school?
Surveys have been made in II ag-
ricultural States to discover the re-
lation that common school. high school
and college training has upon the
earning capacity of farmers.
There lies before me as I write a
Autographed circular published by
the extension service of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
which f. A. Merrill undertakes to
find fact-answer to the question:
Does education pay the farmer?
/ select a few facts at random.
In Texas it was discovered that an
uneducated farmer might earn $40 ,OOO
in 40 years, while a farmer who spent
IL of the 40 years in school might
earn $4,000 in 40 years. That Is to
say, the farmer who spent IL years
in school will earn 100000 more in
40 years than the farmer who never
went to school. In the IL years the
Texas lad will have spent 2,16O days
in school. These 100 days in school
will net him $4,000 by the end of 40
years, or an average of about $50
day for every day spent i'll school.
Not bad wages!
In Georgia it was discovered that
the annual net profit of the unedu-
Gated farmer is about $240; while the
annual net profit of the farmer who
has had common school education is
$565.50, the annual net profit of the
farmer who has had high school ed
ucation is $664.50, and the annual net
profit of the farmer who has complet-
cd an agricultural college course is
$1.254.
In Georgia the farmer who has
taken only an agricultural short
course find his annual net profit
SS9595, which is almost three times
the earnings OF the farmer who has
had no schooling whatever.
In Missouri It was found that the
scales tip consistently in favor OF the
better educated farmers.
They own four-flfths OF the land
they operate.
They keep more live stock
They handle more crops with each
workman.

Mis- marvellous flight in the Tooth an

Motor Reciprocity.

A resident of Washington. an Off
cial Of the Government, whose DOM
icile has been within the District for
many years, has been fined for OPP
Grating motor car in Virginia with.
out having secured a license tag
in that State. The ground of this ac-
ton is that he occasionally goes into
Virginia on week end trips. He APP
peals the decision, and upon the re-
suit of that appeal will depend the
future policy of the State regarding
the licensing of motorists under the
reciprocity arrangement between Vir-
ginia and the District.
Apart from the amusing features Of
this proceeding, which have illus
trated the absurdity of the roadside
judicial practice that makes for the
serious annoyance Of motorists, this
case is of decided interest to the resi-
dents of Washington. Under the reci-
procity arrangements made between
the District and Maryland and Vir'
ginia the motorists Of this city are
entitled to use the roads Of the two
States without securing licenses in
them. A Washington driver may en-
ter either State daily, several times
daily, may go and come without
| hindrance, provided only that he
obeys the rules of the road
If this present Virginia decision is
upheld by the courts no Washing
tonian may without securing an ad'
ditional license enter that State for
purposes Of occasional temporary rest

PAPE IS ELECTED
 ANNEXATION HEAD
Former Representative Named Chairman Of Joint Committee

Definite steps were taken in the plans to annex Maple Hill and Elm Hill 10 New Britain, at a meeting Of the committees from the im- proven ent societies of the two towns last evening. The meeting was held in the office of Elmer w. Pape, president of the Adkins Printing Co.,, and former representative from Ncwingt on to the general assembly.
 While no other conclusive action was possible last evening, the com mittces formerly organized into one joint committee. Mir. Pape was elect od chairman and Frank B. Rau was elected secretary.
 Plans and preliminary steps were discussed and the balance of the meeting was given over to the se curing of information and data which will be necessary before the committee appears before the legis- lature and asks for the annexation.
 One of the matters Of informa- ton which the committee will look into within the next two weeks is that of geogra phical boundaries. It was planned to have another meet ing within two weeks and after that the committee probably will meet regularly every two weeks.
