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."

normal sown acreage. Ten years ago,
3, 8SO,000 acres were sown. Due to
the extremely favorable moisture con-j

to be small which should leave the

the usual.
The condition of winter wheat is

summer was generally unfavorable
for early plowing, but early Septem

among the most favorable for this

HUCKINS WILL SUEEZNDER
Hancock, Wis. 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.

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.

ABANDON GRAF ARCTIC FLIGHT
Berlin, Dec. 23. 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.

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
