Board of Directors Meet
Ilublinnl, Neb., Oct. 20, l'JKJ.
On call of President Learner
the board of directors of the Dakota
County Fai m Management Associa
tion met for the regular busine-s
session Ootober '20, instead of the
27th, the regular date. The follow
ing members were present: Direct
ors Feller, Cain, Forbes, Beerman,
1'res. Learner, County Agent Pcck
lioiF and Secretary McGlashan.
County Agent Beckhofl" gave hij
report of work accomplished in
September and spoko to the board
as follows:
Hubbard, Neb., Oct. 4, 1910.
Dear Sir:
Am submitting to you at this time
the report of the Count Agent's ac
tivities for the month of September,
ho you will have time to go over it
and bring anything up at the meet
ing. During the past month I have been
very busy, most of the time answer
ing calls concerning hog cholera.
Fortunately very few of these calls
have come from herds which really
had cholera, but some other slight
ailment. I have not treated many
herds for cholera, for I believe in
letting well enough alone and so
long as hogs have not been exposed
and so long as 'there is no immediate
danger. I believe that if by other
methods we can help our hogs in
such condition as to make treatment
unnecessary, we are just that much
ahead. There is to my knowledge
at present but two live cases of chol
era in the county and these have
been treated as have the the several
herds on the farms adjoining these.
This is the way we prevent its
spread. Cholera is lighter here than
in any other similar section I know
of. 1 hope that we can keep it so
and am working toward that' end.
The same might be said 5f other
live stock.
Have completed arrangements for
an agricultural short course at Da
kota City during the week of Do-'
cember 18-2U. Courses in Domestic
Science, Live Stock and Farm Mo
tors will be conducted. Have com
pleted arrangements for a week of
one day meet short courses in vari
ous parts of the county to take place
November U5 to 18. Four meetings
have been held with an attendance
of 280.
Have weighed up hogs and feed
on three farms in the past month.
Have checked up potato data on two
farms and farm record work on
seventeen farms. Have been called
to look to determine whether hogs
had cholera on thirty-seven farms.
Checked up value of pruning and
spraying on two farms. Five boys
and girls plots were visited with sug
gestions for assistance made. At
tended the hearing of the farm loan
boaid and have spoken to two groups
ot fanners on this question. Assist
ed as corn judge at the lnter-btate
Fair two days. (If anything is al
lowed for this it will be turned to
the treasurer of the association.)
Have diagnosed three cases of calves
and pigs with lockjaw following
casteration, one herd having lost
more than twenty head. Took two
tetanus pigs before the Association
of Veterinarians at Sioux City, near
ly all of whom said it was the first
ease they had ever seeri. Have vac
cinated 372 head of hogs. Have
persuaded five parties not to vacci
nate las there was no immediate
danger and their pigs were perfectly
healthy.
Miscellaneous: Thirty-two tele
phone calls, twenty-six office calls,
1 18 direct and two circular letters
sent out. In the work for the month
have driven car 640 miles, gone on
the train 82 miles and walked 14
miles. Expenses personal for office,
etc., $13.80.
Some of the work for October:
Hog cholera control, finish farm rec
ord work. Hold fourteen evening
meeting and six afternoon school
house meetings. Work up coming
short course and institute and ar
range for November corn shows.
Sincerely,
A. II. BeckhofT, County Agent.

PROHIBIT
Does Increase the Tax Burden
Absolute proof is at hand that prohibition has enormously
increased the tax burden for the Kansas farmer and property
owner. So great is the burden of taxation in prohibition
Kansas that half the counties in that state find themselves in
serious financial difficulties.
HERE IS THE PROOF:
(From the Topeka "State Journal" of Dec. 7, 1915)
"MUST RAISE LIMIT"
f One-Half of Kansns Gotmiics in Financial Mire"
"Bond Issues, Economy or Legislative Kelief
Only Hope"
"Fifty per cent of the counties of Kansas will
be forced to adopt sweeping economy measures or
issue bonds to cover deficits in their general revenue
funds, unless the next legislature raises the limit of
the general revenue tax levy, according to men i
touch with the financial condition of czii.i.j oi
the state"
The reason for the heavy tax burden under prohibition is
not far to seek. Under prohibition, it becomes necessary to
prosecute in court every year thousands of persons having
alcoholic beverages in their possession. Each such case costs '
the county about $50, according to the Topeka, Kan., "State
Journal" of August 29, 1916. This paper also states in the
same issue that in Topeka alone, there are 106 such cases
docketed for the September term of court. This is the con
dition in one Kansas county, at one term of court alone.
Kansas spent $701,944.40 in the last two years to maintain the
inmates of her state prisons, while Nebraska spent less fthan
half that sum.
WHO CARRIES THE TAX BURDEN?
It is interesting to observe how the prohibition politician alvays man"
ages to unload the increased burden of taxation on the farmer and on the
property owner. In Kansas the state tax levy for 1916 is equal to 6.5 mills on
a one-fifth valuation, and in Nebraska it is only 6.1 mills on a one-fifth valu
ation. In order to deceive the people and keep the state tax levy from
mounting sky-high, the prohibition politicians in Kansas simply
raised the assessed valuation of farm lands many millions of
dollars this year,
HERE IS THE PROOF :
From the Topeka "State Journal'' of Oct. 5, 1916)
"Twice has he (Governor Capper, the prohibi
tionist) handed the FARMERS a package, by
raising the valuations of their farm land, in order
to raise more taxes, yet he permitted the railroads
and corporations to go at the same old rate."
GOVERNOR CAPPER OF KANSAS HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED
THAT THE VALUATION OF KANSAS PROPERTY WAS
BOOSTED $79,000,000 IN 915 FOR PURPOSES OF TAXATION.
THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE PROHIBITION POLITICIAN EVERY
WHERE. HE RIDES INTO OFFICE ON THAT ISSUE, AND
THEN PROMPTLY PUTS THE BURDEN OF INCREASED
TAXATION BROUGHT ABOUT BY PROHIBITION, ON THE
FARMER AND ON THE PROPERTY OWNER.
The squares shown below will appear at the TOP of the
ballot. An X marked in square 301 is -a vofe AGAINST
PROHIBITION.
