T A I V , i ax iQmsiment Placed in Lead in Farm Relief Support cf Kural Schools by $100, 000.000 Fund Is Asked of Congress. Washington A bill in the inter est of rural education and tax re duction on farm lands, introduced by Conrad G. Selvig (R. ) , Representa tive from Minnesota, provides for an annual appropriation of $100,000,- 000 for the partial support of rural schools. "The most direct type of farm re lief that can come to agriculture is tax adjustment and reduction," said Mr. Selvig. "An urgent need exists for a part of the federal income tax to be devoted to the support of rural schools. Equal educational opportun ities to all the children whether they live in the wealthiest portions of the city or in the most impoverished rural school district is an essential in our present age. As the future in crease of the population in the urban centers will be largely recruited from rural schools, the entire Nation has an important stake in the quality of our country's citizenship. "Taxation has increased so rapid ly in the last decade that it has be come an overwhelming burden in most farming sections. None of the farmers' property can escape assess ment and fair valuation, consequent ly the increase of 254 per cent in taxes since the World War imposes a crushing burden upon agriculture. "This great increase in rural taxes has come principally from increased costs of rural schools and the expan sion cf rural, county and state road building programs. Steps are being taken to lighten the farmers' burden in broadening the base of taxation for roads. This is a step in the right direction. Increasing the federal ap propriation b3 $50,000,000 annually will permit state funds to be utilized in the construction and maintenance of secondary roads. "The most urgent social and edu cational program, however, concerns the financing cf our rural schools. Well-supported opinion urges that a portion of the federal income tax should be redistributed on the basis of school enumeration. Money is es caping from rural sections into the more populous metropolitan tenters in a greater and greater degree. Chain stores, mail order houses. th3 vast concentration of industries which are supported largely by farm buying power all cf these drain the rural community and contribute to tax returns elsewhere." Wheat Crop is Showing a Fine Gain in State Eeccrd Shovrs Average Will Be Much iiieoer ihis year inan in Tact; Itys Increases. A total of 3.G36.000 acres were! seeded to winter wheat last fall says : the State and Federal Division t f Agr. Statistics. This is the same area as a year ago. The rye acreage was increased 10. The condition of both crops is unusually high. Both winter wheat and rye acreage w ere ; increased for the U. S. and the con- dition is above the average. i The winter wheat acreage is the! same as a year agr. with a total of 3,636,000 acres. This is about the' normal sown acreage. Ten years ago, 3, 8SO,000 acres were sown. Due to the extremely favorable moisture con-j dition. the abandonment is expected i to be small which should leave the acreage for harvest slightly aDove the usual. The condition of winter wheat is 96 7f. as compared to S97t last year and the 10-year average of S0. The summer was generally unfavorable for early plowing, but early Septem ber rains made it possible to com plete the plowing and highly favor able moisture conditions since then has produced a good stand and heavy growth. The present cundition ranks among the most favorable for this date. A total of 304.000 acres of rye were planted as compared to 276,000 acres a year ago, and 277,000 acres two 3'ears ago.

Attorneys for El mer S. Huckins, missing "financial wizard," for whom an Iowa fraud warrant has been issued, arranged at a conference Sundy night for his surrender to Waushara county au thorities at 9:30 Monday morning. The attorney Jones of Waushara county assured him Huckins would appear before a magistrate and fur nish bail to await a formal request from Governor Hammill of Iowa for his extradition. 1 The amount of bail has been set and most of the bondsmen named, it was said. Whether Hammill will ask Governor Kohler that Huckins be removed to Cedar Rapids, la., for trial and whether the financier will fight attempts to extradite him could not be determined. Huckins, with his son George, heads a mysterious business which in some cases paid dividends as high as 52 per cent. Midwestern inves tors are said by the federal govern ment to have placed nearly $3,000, 000 with them. To Press for Action on Rail Unification Fess Will Urge Senate Consideration cf His Bill on Consolidation; Measure Lacks 'Teeth.' Washington, Dec. 23. Prospects for early congressional consideration of legislation to facilitate general railroad consolidation were raised to day, following the promulgation Sat urday by the interstate commerce commission of a specific plan for wholesale unification of the country's transport system. Senator Fess, (rep. O.), who has a rail consolidation bill pending, an nounced that he would press it for action this session in the belief that new law is necessary to clear away obstacles to the program. The Fess step represented the only additional approach to the subject today in official circles. Railroad commentators were a unit in expect ing that no programs are likely to be presented soon from carrier quarters looking toward the linking of any group of carriers under the plan. Long Study B-equired. It was pointed out that the legal and operating staffs of all carriers must have weeks for study of the de tails; that only three or four railroad groups in the country are actually seeking to take advantage of the pres ent provisions of law permitting con solidation; and that the commission plan seriously modifies all the rail merger projects that have been actu ally advanced. In the manifold provisions of the Fess bill, some semi-eompulsory pow ers would be given the commerce com mission to bring about consolidations, but railroad lawyers familiar w-ith its terms expressed doubt that these would seriously change the situation. Railroad groups must actually pro pose consolidation in any particular in.-tance. Even should the Fess bill pass, and unless its provisions a-Fe sharply altered, the government would be without power to order mer ger. Denounces Proposal. New York, Dec. 23. Leonard F. Loree, president of the Deleware & Hudson company, in a statement to day denounced the proposal of the interstate commerce commission to unify all terminal lines in its rail road consolidation plan. "The proposal to make terminals common property would De more proper to a paternalistic than an in dividualistic government," he said. "In a period of SO years the Penn sylvania has built up a terminal sys tem around Philadelphia of great magnitude. I don't understand how any road that has built itself a dom inant terminal position can be' made to relinquish it." World-Herald. CAUSES AND CURE OF WAR New York The itinerary of C.

Tel yocr lawyer yon vast us to print your brief, Southern Drys Want Report on Enforcing Act Harris and Glass Insist on Knowing What Its Members Are Doing; Fear Dry Law Shunted Washington Curious concerning what President Hoover's law en forcement commision is doing, two democratic dry leaders served notice in the senate Friday that efforts would be made to open its proceed ings to the public and to get an early report of some sort. Senator Harris of Georgia, who sponsored the in creased dry fund appropriation, was blocked in an attempt to have the senate adopt a resolution request ing Mr. Hoover to obtain a prelim inary report irom the commission ior use m appropriating next year s en forcement fund. A republican dry leader Senator Jones of Washington halted con sideration of this resolution. He ex plained that he did so because he thought it an extraordinary proceed ing for the senate to be asking the president for such a report. Avoiding Real Purpose. Senator Glass of Virginia, another democratic dry. who was the author of the $25 0,000 provision authoriz ing the law enforcement inquiry, said the commission was "shunting aside" the real purpose of congress for the expenditure of this money an inquirv into nrohimtion. Both Harris and Glass notified the senate that they would seek to with hold funds for the continuance of the commission unless some manner of report was made, and Harris also demanded that the commission holds its hearings in public. In the first debate on the com mission in the senate, Harris struck out at Chairman Wickersham, de claring he did not "believe the rro hibi:uni?ts are going to zet any re port from this commission of the congress if the chairman of the com mission and some others can pre vent it." A democratic wet leader. Senator Hawes of Missouri, some time ago demanded that the commission open its hearings to the public and urged that it be required to submit an earjy report. Republicans so far have not dis closed their attitude on the issue, but the Harris resolution is still before the senate and promises to become an issue after the holiday iecess. No Report fcr Four Years. The Georgia dry predicted Friday that the cemmirsion did not intend ' to make a report before four years and said he knew of a member of the commission who had been locking for a home in Washington and was pre pared to enter a four year lease. "Every enemv of the prohibition law is in favo of this commission staying there just as they are," said Harris, "acting behind closed doors, and conducting their deliberations for years. They expect to stay there for four years more and never make a report and it will net do us any good." Senator Glass contended the com mission had failed to give attention to the main purpose of the congres sional authorization for its existence, investigation of prohibition enforce ment, and declared: "It is the most extrordinary exhibition of indiffer ence to the expressed will of con gress that I have ever known." "This commission was appointed principally, if not solely," said the Virginian, "for the purpose of in quiring into prohibition, but until last week not a member of the com mission had reau tne provision in the aDDropriation bill authorizing its constitution. I am going to insist that before we appropriate another dollar that the commission or the president make some report to con gress on what it proposes to do." The $250,000 fund for the corn mission's work was appropriated for the fiscal year ending next June 30 and there was some specuation whe ther this money may be expend-d during the next fiscal year without express authority from congress.

Because of the difficulty in obtaining suitable in surance, the projected flight of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin to the north pole under the auspices of the Aero Arctic society has been abandoned, it was learned Monday. Instead of the explorational jaunt to the frigid north, the globe-girdling ship will make a tropic ight to South America, according to Dr. Hugo Eckener, the airship's com mander. According to present plans, the iriant dirigible will flv across the South Atlantic to Rio de Janiero, where Dr. Eckener is attempting to have a mooring mast erected. The projected polar voyage has met with difficulties from the start. At first. Dr. Eckener made it known the state of his health would not per mit of his participation, and not long afterward the crew of the dirigible balked at the idea. They held that the proposed trip placed too great a risk on the Zep pelin, which constituted their means of livelihood. If the ship were dam aged or destroyed, they declared they would be left without jobs. Then it was found that no Ger man insurance company would in sure the craft because of the hazards involved in a polar flight, and recent ly the Zeppelin people have been ne gotiating with Lloyds for a policy. Their latest negotiations have appar ently ended in failure. The Journal appreciates your in- terest in pnonmg us the nexs. CaDi.

Christopher Columbus, with three ships, sailed from Cadiz, Spain, seek ing a shorter passage to India. He met with many hardships and discouragements, and after many weeks, his crews mutinied, and were for throwing him overboard and re turning to Spain. He argued and threatened and promised, but finally agreed on the ninth day of October, after they had been on the trip 67 days that if land was not discovered within three days, they would re turn. His faitli stuck to the last, and he was rewarded with the discovery of America. October 12th, 1492. This discovery brought the world much closer together, and after 435 years, one morning just as the day was breaking Charles Agustus Lind bergh, started with his "Spirit of St. Louis" and the next evening he was in France. Both were received with great acclaim. Later, Lindbergh made his fac ous trip to South America, and the trip which was a good will trip, brought the two Americas closer to gether, establishing a greater bro therhood. The Graf Zeppelin made a trip to America, a representative, who ten year:? ago was arrayed against this country in deadly strife. This trip was a means fo insuring a greater love and closer brotherhood between two nations, who but a few vears ago were grappling eacn others throats. What Eas Caused the Charge. Coming out of the great sacrifice which Jesus the Christ, the Saviour of mankind, maue wh-n he came to this world from high Heaven, is the fruitage of th' seed sown by the Son of God nearly two thousand years ago. With every succeeding century has the nations grown closer to gether, and nun have come to realize they are indeed brothers, and sons of a common Father, and joint bro thers and also heirs with Jesus Christ to that life which will know i o strife, hatred or sorrow, the com ing of this age, when the mental and moral bondage, shall be stricken from mankind, and man redeemed and dis enthralled from the sins, shall claim that high birthright which the sacri Holds larifi Bill a Hoover Measure Democrat Chairman Asserts Presi dent Has Approved Rates by Silence Washington, D.
