College Degree Worth
500. 600. Experts Find

StatiSticianS and research 1nvestf-
gators have at last run down the elu-
sive and much discussed dollar and
cents value Of college education and
have fixed it at 100000. Their sur
vey reveals that the average unframed
boy goes to work at the age Of IA,
earns less than SLIGO a year, 30 that
his income from IA to 60 totals $64. 600.
The high school graduate, they find.
starts work at Is. reaches his maxi
mum income of $500 at 80 and by 60
has earned a total of $4,000. The
college graduate, they learned, starts
his career at about %, has caught up
with the high school graduate by 80
and at 60 is earning from $4,000 to
$1,000 a year with total earning at
60 of between 100000 and 100000.
Figures from the same survey pro-
duced by the statistical department Of
Union Central Life Insurance Com
pany show that out Of 1000 children
entering grade school only % graduate
from college. Lack Of funds is re-
vealed as the main reason for leaving
school and educational insurance is
now advocated as a means of giving
a higher percentage the ''break" which
college degree assures.

FARM WAGES LOWEST IN
"a YEARS

The Bureau of Agriculture
Economics reports farm wages
are the lowest in thirty-four
years, ranging from an average
Of 40 cents a day with board in
South Carolina and Georgia to
$1.75 a day in Rhode Island.
In some of the North Central
States farm hands are receiv-
ing only board and lodging for
their labor, the bureau said.
Its index of the general level
of farm wage rates on January
1 was IA per cent of the five
year pre-war average, a de-
cline of IL per cent since last
October /. The average sea-
sonal decrease during the last
ten years for the period from
October 1 to January 1 has

STATES TO CONFER ON
WAY TO CHECK DU-
PLICATE TAXES

Assured of President-Elect
Roosevelt's cooperation in the
movement it has launched to
synchrOnize federal and state
tax systems and reduce tax du-
plication, the American Legis-
latOrs' Association has issued a
formal call to the states to send
representatives to the first ma
tional conference on this sub
ject in Washington, Feb, 3.
According to the association
this will be the first time the
legislatures of the several
states will have participated
officially in a general confer
ence of this sort, and it por-
tends a new era in which
greater cooperation between
the states should be productive
of much progress.
The AZ states must negotiate
with one another, the associa-
ton points out, before they
can effectively negotiate with
the Federal Government in
such a broad field as taxation,
where there are now 40 differ
ent systems in operation to
raise money for the federal and
state governments alone, eX-
clusively of the cities, towns
and counties.
A number of governors have
expressed warm approval OF
the project, it is reported. while
President-Elect Roosevelt in a
recent letter to the association
said: "In the past, the Fed
eral Government has passed
revenue legislation with too
little consideration for state
taxing systems and, on the
other hand, the states have leg
islated with little reference to
the federal revenue plan and
with almost no consideration
for the tax programs of other
states. This is not as it
should be. l have given con-
siderable thought to this prob
lem and it is my hope to make
at least small contribution to
a better synchronized federal,
state and local taxing system.
And I shall eagerly follow the
proceedings Of your confer
ence, being hopeful that from
it many good ideas will de-
yelop."

Tender canned asparagus is
favorite with women because it
holds an unbroken record of UNI
broken asparagus. 1t can be
heated right in the can, and when
opened every tip is as correct
as the finger tips of milady who
has just come from her manicure.
Served in salads, or hot with but
ter sauce, or in delectable au
gratin dish, this is indeed as.
paragus with distinction.
Drifting about among dinner

the exacting demand of women
that their asparagus remain to
the last-unbroken.s

GUERNSEYS GO TO SECOND
PLACE in MARYLAND

The 1880 Dairy Census, just
released, shows that registered
Guernseys came up during the
ten year period from 1920 to
take second place in Maryland
among dairy cattle breeds.
In 1920 the line up of the
breeds was Holstein 4O73; Jer-
sey 1928; Guernsey 1867; Ayr
shire 113 and Brown Swiss had
8. By 1880 breed preferences
had changed, Holsteins are
still first showing an increase
to 9553; Guernseys come into
second place with 6O9S head;
Jerseys increased to 1885;
Ayrshires increased to 661 and
Brown Swiss to 81.
1t is very interesting to note
that the Maryland farmer is
favoring the Guernsey breed.
The Guernsey is also the only
breed to show an increase in
every state in the Union.
During the 1920-193O decade,
the Guernseys increased in the
United States 1926 per cent,
the Jerseys 53.1 per cent, and
the Holsteins 229 per cent.
The actual figures show Hol-
stems increased from 528,621
to 649,739 Jerseys 231,834 to
354,939; Guernseys 79,466 to
200,721; Ayrshires $1,000 to
1926 and Brown Swiss 8,283
to 25,734.

Discussing the tax question,
over which the people have at
last become pretty thoroughly
aroused and are moving for a
curtailment in expenditure of
money for the conduct of pub
lie offices, one of our contem-
poraries says:
"Good and economical gov
eminent can result only when
the average citizen takes an in
terest. 1t is therefore rather
unfortunate that it takes dire
need or near disaster to bring
about this essential interest on
the part of the people. But
the fact that hard times serve
to awaken the citizens to their
governmental shortcomings is
a bit of silver lining behind the
dark clouds of depression"

ENFORCEMENT APPROPRI-
TION TO BE LESS THAN
ANY PREVIOUS YEAR


Nine million, one hundred
twenty thousand dollars, the
smallest sum in the Ii years of
national prohibition, was ear
marked for the enforcement OF
the dry laws in the fiscal year
1884 for the four department
appropriation bill reported Fri
day to the House at Washing
ton.
The budget recommended
SO, 500, 948, but the House ap-
preparations committee applied
the average cut of five per cent
on the measure as whole to
the amount asked for the pro-
hibition bureau.
Lengthy hearings before an
appropriations subcommittee
again showed the marked diff
ference of opinion that has
prevailed ever since the Vol
stead act went on the statute
books.
A long time foe of the dry
laws, Representative Tinkham
(R. Mass.) questioned Amos
w. w. Woodcock, director of
prohibition, at length, telling
him that he regarded the zap
preparation of $9,000,000 of
Federal funds for the enforc-
ment of prohibition merely as
"a gesture" Tinkham asked if
the amount should not be
sharply reduced.
Woodcock replied in the neg
ative, taking the view pre-
viously expressed by Attorney
General Mitchell before the
committee that "the thing to
do in the interest of deceny and
law" was to change the liquor
laws and then cut the appro-
priation.
The discussion in committee
ranged from wire tapping in
prohibition cases and the uses
of informers to the cash cost
of the average case and the
number of dry agents killed in
the line of duty.
In this connection, Repre-
sentative Blanton 3D., Tex.)
asked Woodcock whether the
occupation of a prohibition
agent had not become SO dan
gerous that insurance COM
panies would no longer write
policies on their lives.
The director answered he did
not know about that but did
know that six of his men had
been killed since July, 1892,
"since the agitation about pro-
hibition became more or less
acute"
He said nine dry agents had
been killed in 1882 and that 13
men were killed by the en-
forcers.
For all the results of recent
elections, Woodcock said he be-
lieved that less liquor was be-
ing sold than the previous
year, but added:
people tell you frankly that
the depression has something
to do with it, but that the
bootlegging profession or bust
ness is not anything. like it
used to be-"
The average cost of a liquor
case in 1882, Woodcock said,
excluding court expenses, was
$120. He said that if you de-
Quoted the cost of fines and the
sale of seized property ''the
cost of the bureau last year was
$6,626,O39. as against an ap-
preparation of 81, 1863, 500.
The amount actually spent by
the bureau, however, he told
committee members was APP
proximately that recommended
by the budget this year.

Unemployed French
Workers March on
Capital for Relief
New Ca mile Chau-
temps Govt Faces
Defeat

PARIS, Nov 20. - Unemployed
workers, marching on Paris from in
duStrial and mining districts of the
North, today forced the authorities
OF Clermont, 80 miles north of here,
to grant permission for the use of
the Town Hall for an anti-govern-
ment demonstration. The marchers,
whose forces are being augmented
hourly from towns along the march,
will press on tomorrow and should
be in the capital by Saturday. The
march follows on the heels of a
mighty nation wide demonstration OF
workers and farmers last Sunday
The new ministry of Camille Chau-
temps took its place in the Chamber
Of Deputies today, but is faced with
an early defeat as a result Of the
fierce resistance OF the toilers and
petty bourgeois masses against its
attempts to put through new taxes
and to reduce the civil service allow
ances and relief payments The So
cialist Party. faced with growing OPP
position by its RANK and file members
against its collaboration with the
bourgeois government, has been forced
to withhold support from the new
cabinet. The new government is said
to need $203, 100000 to "avert disas-
ter" and is seeking to raise this sum
by loan from Britain, extension of
the national lotteries, and drastic
salary reductions for the lower-paid
categories Of the Civil Service.
In addition TO the rising wave OF
mass protests, the new ministry is
facing severe complications in its in
ternationaI relations, with the British
Government insisting on direct nego-
tiations with Germany, in opposition
to the French position that negotia-
tions should only proceed through
the machinery of the League of Ma
lions. The British Government yes
terday re-stated its position of con-
cessions to the Nazi demands for
armed equality. This position is in
line with the British attempts to arm
the Nazis for their anti-Soviet adj
ventures, but is opposed by the French
Government, which fears that the
Nazis may turn their arms against
France
