Rural Aid Law to be Given Test

Former Governor James E. Ferguson is response
BILE for the rural system of financial aid Tor the chill
dren who live in the isolated districts" Of the COM
monwealth Away back when he was the chief exec
utive he recommended an appropriation OF a million
dollars a year as additional support for rural schools.
Lawmakers bowed to his edict. Then came his second
term. He remarked to the press correspondents, "the
people Of Texas have gone hog wild on education"
Now the governor has vetoed an appropriation Of
$5,500,000 for the bienniun- Lawmakers may white
this down to 5 100000. Texas has what is known as
a state League Of Equal and Uniform Taxation. Su-
perintendents and trustees from the rural school dis
tricts Of Bexar county held a joint meeting. Gus
Reininger, field manager of the league, addressed the
trustees and the superintendents. He advised that if
the measure becomes a law then those who believe in
fair play and fair taxation should give the the rural
aid measure of 1919 an acid test in the court.
Manager Reininger contended in his address that
the counties Of Southwest Texas will not benefit from
the measure which would appropriate 100000 for
aid Of rural schools, but would pay the bulk of the
taxes" He explained that only districts which have
assessed a rs cent tax on 800 valuation can partici-
pate in the rural aid fund. Furthermore, the new
bill provides that no aid will be granted If the dis
trict can maintain a school six months in the year
from its own revenue.
He pointed out that the two provisions taken to-
gether will eliminate nearly every Southwest Texas
county from aid from this fund, for the reason that
In the southwest section Of the state farm land is as
sessed at around $50 an acre and if the school dis
trict should raise their school tax rate to rs cents the
revenue would enable them to conduct their schools
six months In the year and they would be deprived of
rural aid for that reason.
There are low valuation counties where farm land
Is assessed at SO an acre and where a rs cent school
tax does not raise enough money to conduct the
schools six months in the year. These counties all
get more from the rural aid fund than they pay in
each year, according to the Reininger table of sta
tistics while the southwest counties pay in more each
year than they receive each year. And yet the con-
stitution says: taxation shall be equal and uniform"

Farm Relief Policies

The United States Farm Relief Board, organized
to carry out the terms Of the recently enacted federal
law, sees in cooperative marketing organizations
properly financed the solution Of the agricultural
problems OF the country, the first official statement of
that body declares.
The announcement said the board will work with
And through established groups of farmers who are
organized or who may be organized on a basis Of spe-
cific commodities" 1t Is looking ahead to a "perma-
nent structure" and said it was probable that the
board will move deliberately n'its action"
This statement contains two important points Of
policy.
The first Is that co-operatives organized for mar
keting Of specific commodities will be insisted upon.
No all-inclusive organization is contemplated.
There will be organizations to market wheat. 9TH
ers to market corn, others for cotton, others for citrus
fruit and still others for vegetables. There is likeli-
hood that the vegetable organizations will be divided
into a number Of groups such as the Rio Grande Po-
tato Growers association, which already has an
nounced its intention to apply for a loan Of $500 600
from the board to be used in stablizing the price of
potatoes.
This policy of the board Is in keeping with the ex-
perience Of co-operatneS.
The announced intention Of the board to go slowly
will probably meet with universal approval.
There IS sure to be a flood Of applications for loans
and 1t will be the duty Of the board to sort the sheep
from the goats. Many Of the applications probably
will be filed by hastily organized groups, headed by
professional organizers, who will see in the huge loan
fund an opportunity for soft picking" It will be
the duty Of the board to determine which organiza-
lions have an even chance to succeed and to loan
money only to those who intend seriously to seek the
solution Of the farming problem,
The board can be depended upon to take care of
this. The success of the plan will depend upon the
success of the associations to which support of the
board is given and those In charge will strive for
success.
Loans made to Improperly organized associations,
or association that had little hope for success might
easily prove a serious handicap. 1t would be difficult
TO secure such loans and failure Of the organizations
would leave the board holding the sack.
Plans Of Chairman Legge and other members to
attend the American Association Of Cooperation at
Baton Rouge, La, July % indicate a serious purpose
to inform themselves.

Washington Letter
By C. PLIrMMFR

WASHINGTON, July 18-In a st. Louis office
some 33 years ago two men sat down to discuss what
life still held in store for them.
Both were immensely wealthy. Robert S. Brook

had been Brookings' employer and was one of the
foremost manufacturers Of st. Louis.
Inc result OF this discussion was that both agreed
they had had about all the fun they could get out of
making money. The thing to do the remainder of
their lives was to try enjoying spending it.

StarLOre
Distance to a Star
(Photometric Method.)

by arthur Dew. carpenter
The trigonometric method of find
ing a stars parallax may be en-
ployed up to a distance Of 300 light
years. Beyond that, a star shows no
displacement from a baseline Of the
diameter Of the earth's orbit. Thus
the distance of only the nearest
stars may be so measured. But the
astronomer has found new methods
for determining the parallax Of
more remote stars. When the real
brightness of a star can be deter
mined, and compared with its appar-
ent brightness, the stars distance
may be computed. Certain kinds of
stars reveal their real brightness.
This process is known as the photo
metric method of determining stellar
parallax.

HUSKER TITLE
Illinois Farmer Is Greeted
With Bad News After
Taking Tourney.

BIZ United Press
RIO. ILL.,, Nov. 16.-Neighbors who
came today to congratulate Walter
Olson as the nations champion corn
huSker tiptoed away after voicing
sympathy for father whose son
was grayely i'll.
For a moment only Friday, the
smiling, lanky farmer tasted the zest
Of fame, as thousands of spectators
chered and photographers and re-
porterS crowded around him on the
Paul REM farm near Platte City,
Mo, where he had won the national
corn husking contest.
The broad, bashful grin of salts
faction at the 25.27 bushels he had
husked to win over twelve opponents
left his face as he read a telegram
that had been handed him immedi-
ately after his victory was an
nounced.
Left at Once
1--WE must go at once" he said,
turning to his wife. Charles is
worse. They say it is serious"
Mrs. Olson understood. Her s.
year-old son Charles Walter was in
danger. He had been worse than
she thought when she decided to
leave him with relatives and go to
Platte City with her husband.
Lets hurry, Walter" urged the
serious-faced mother, who a mo-
ment before had been beaming with
pleasure at the cheers for her hus-
band.
The couple forgot the 500 prize
money awaiting Olson at the judges
stand. They forgot the crowd, the
microphones, the photographers and
reporters. Their only thoughts we're
of their sick boy and of getting to
his bedside as soon as possible.
Hurrying to their automobile they
started on the long drive to Rio,
in western Illinois. Early today
they got home and went to the bed.
where Charles lay, his face white
against the pillow.
Galesburg Proud
Farmer folk of the Galesburg area
especially were proud of Walter
Olson. and especially concerned over
the illness of his little boy. 1t was
his second national husking cham
pionship. Last year he husked 266
bushels to win. The farmers were
proud of their state, too, for Henry
Holmes took second place Friday
with PAT bushels.
Other winners were: G. Tague of
Iowa, 1856 bushels; Henry Sorenson,
Nebraska, 22.09, and Charles Etter,
Indiana, 2201 bushels.

YOUNG TURKS
NOW Debating
SENATE ACTION
Freshmen Members Unite
to Force Passage Of
Tariff Measure.
BY PAUL III. MALLON,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-All ad-
journment plans were abandoned
today as the senate, leaderless and
tired, entered upon its third con-
tinuous day of eleven-hour sessions
on the agricultural rate section Of
the tariff bill.
Notice was served by a new band
of Republicans, known as the
young guard" that the long ana
narrowing sessions would be con-
tinued under pressure as long as
possible 20 accelerate passage Of the
legislation.
Young and fresh. all of them
serving their first term in the sem
ate, the twelve members of this
group have taken over the majority
party leadership. so far as possible.
They negotiate with the independ-
ent Republicans and confer with
the Democrats.
Called Young Turks"
The regular Republican leaders
are sitting back and awaiting de-
velopment to see how the Young
Turks" as they call the freshmen
leaders, succeed.
AS far as forcing continuance OF
the long sessions, the new leader
ship has enjoyed complete success.
In seeking the long sessions, the
youngsters have had the assistance
of the coalitionists. who voted re-
peatedly against adjournment.
The acting leader Of the group,
Senator Vahde0terF CRep, MichD,
sought an agreement with the CO.
alitionists whereby his group would
vote for whatever agricultural tariff
rates were desired by the farm bloc,
provided the coalitionists would
agree to keep industrial rates as
high as the present law.
The coalition leaders, Senator's
Norris (Rep., NebD and Borah
CRep.. Idaho, declined to enter
such arrangement, inasmuch as they
we're in the majority They have
been writing both industrial and
agricultural rates, almost as they
pleased.
Recess Plea Is Planned
Unless there is some change in
the situation by Monday, Copeland
intends to renew his plea for a re-
cess until the regular session of
congress opens Dec. 2. His previc-s
efforts along this line have biz
voted down overwhelmingly.
The session Friday night was de-
voted to the ton-ato rate. the SEN
ate finally voting a rate of 3 cents

house bill. .5Ss.lss
