DEAR SIR:
Another life has been losteat grade cross
ing!
When railroads have the right to cross our
highways and streets, isn't it up to our trustees
to protect our citizens and visitors to our city
from a like occurrence by seeing that some cleo
trio signal is placed these dangerous crossings?
Must We, as citizens, walk until time when it
has struck our own homes, before We awaken to
this necessity? May We not demand NOW that
our trustees act?
Yours very truly
Mrs. j. S. LAREW.

News Behind the News
Soil Program Held Subterfuge :.
May Fail to Control Industry =.
More Surpluses Feared ;.

WASHINGTON suppose this new pro-
gram is a subterfuge," remarked AAA Off
cal privately But the nice thing about it is
that its a subterfuge which deceiyeS nobody"
He might have added that the soil conserva-
ton program as a subterfuge, probably won't
work It is an excellent device for transferring
funds from taxpayers to farmers and its ult-
mate potentialitieS as a conservation measure
are very great But the men in charge of it
become increasingly doubtful whether it can be
used to control agricultural production.
In two or three years insiders on the farm
program now suspect. they will once more be
confronted with the same old problem with
which they started in l933-huge SURPRISES of
agricultural crops which bound to force
down prices and farm incomes.
And then it is unofficially reasoned, the
federal government will again have to embark
on program for control of agricultural produc-
ton. The agrarians in the administration seem
to think that's inevitable as long the industrial
system operates scarcity policies
The Supreme Court? Well, these predic-
tions are more or less predicated on the idea
that Roosevelt will be reelected and have the
chance within two or three years to appoint a
couple of new justices.
rapidly as they used to, since the sell program
can be used as a partial deterrent. But it al
ready is plain that the quick makeshift version
of the program for this year will come far from
the effect of crop curtailment.
Winter and spring wheat. according to latest
estimates will be grown on about $1,000 900 acres
this year as compared with 100000 last year.
Unless spring wheat planters change their minds
to large degree, acreage will be about a million
more than the fiye-year average which AAA
was cutting down With normal weather. wheat
prices will be lower.
Corn acreage is expected to be up 6 or
per cent and cotton experts here are guessing on
a Is per cent increase in that crop. ITS against
the law to collect figures on planting intentions
for cotton since the government report for 1926
indicated a tremendous surplus and hit the mar
ket hard. Senator Cotton Ed Smith and some
other senators pushed through a law forbiddng
the Bureau OF Agricultural Economics from max
ing any more cotton forecasts
Republicans are planning an eXtra-special
effort to regain lost strength in the House of
Representatives. They face the unpleasant and
practically unprecedented possibility in case they
elect a president this year, Of Republican chief
executive and Congress heavily Democratic in
both houses.
The party must win lis Democratic seats
and hold those it now has to get a bare House
majority. No party has ever made such clean
up and about the best the COP. hopes for is to
make big dent in the opposition's majority this

Third Meeting Board of Equal.
 Held Fri. P. M.

At the third meeting of the city council sitting as a board of equalization, Councilmen O'Con- nor and Rude were absent, the other four being present.
 L. E. Rynning, representing the Lomen Commercial Co.,, which is also general agents of Standard Oil Company products here, was present and entered an objection to what he termed unfair boosts in assessments for the Lomen Commercial Co.,, and for Stand ard Oil.
 He referred to the taking over of the Nohalico lighterage plant, an assessment of $22,0 pointing out that the Lomen assessment was voluntarily raised from $60,- 900 to $7O,0O0 and the Standard Oil from $2O,OO0 to $32,OO0, show ing that the merging of this plant meant no tax loss to the city: He also referred to the fact that the stocks of the Lomen company were not as large as formerly, due to the decline in building fol lowing the spurt following the fire, also that their coal supply was not nearly as much as in for mer years. MT. Rynning also drew attention of the board to the fact with tonnage taxes etc, his company paid between $45O0 and $5000 in taxes annually, wind ing up his objection with the statement that he believed the additional raises of $10,000 and 5000 for his company and Stand ard Oil respectively, were unfair.
 Motion was made by Council man Polet seconded by Cavey to maintain the raise of the board on these two companies as ESQ., 900 and $4O,OOO respectively. The motion carried. MT. Rynning thanked the board for its time and consideration to his objec- tions and the matter was dropped Report on North Pole
 Special committee consisting of Gross and Hagen reported inves- tigation of the personal property of the North Pole Bakery, stating they believed that business was being assessed at nearly one hun- dred percent, considering the ad- ditional raise of $4O00, making a total assessment of $10,000. The committee recommended that the assessment be cut $2,000 leaving , a total assessment on personal . property of $8,000.
