turaJ colk-Ke. told member of tin

"Like improvement in marketing
method will insure greater profit
for the producer and lower cost of
milk ta the consumer," Professor
Davis stad. "The public demands
a form of service in connection with
milk marketing that caimot easily
he supplied unless there is a mid
dlenian. The producer may,
through co-operative organizations,
take over that function to good ad
vantage.
Produce Better Cows.
Intensive feeding, combined selec
tion and breeding lias developed cows
that produce IS to 18 tons of milk a
year, Professor Davis said. Various
co-operative organizations nave oecu
organized to assist producers in
marketing their milk, these organiza
tions consisting of three kinds the
bargaining association that contracts;
the. organization that handles the
farmers mine ana tne association
that bargains, but is prepared to
handle surplus milk .. Dy pro
enalntr. Intermediate stages ex
ist between these three tvpes. Pro
fessor Davis added, outlining the
nrocesses that now are being operat
ed in a number of the larger cities
,and states. .
"Co-operative marketing is feasible
and will be successful if properly
carried out," Professor Davis said.
"Realization that milk is perishable;
that service by some sort of middle
man is necessary; jhat surplus must
be cared for, as not to flood the
market, and confidence among pro
ducers are essentials in marketing
milk co-operatively."
Lists Ten Commandments.
Professor Davis a"anced the to!
lowinsr. which he termed the 10 com'
mandments of co-operative organiza
tion: ' '
Binding producers contract; legal
form of business organization; sound
plan of business operation; practical
an adequate financing; competent
supervision ot Dusiness; emciciii
management of operations; skilled
and efficient " operating employes;
volumes of business for efficient
operation; adequate accounting. and
progressive and sound ; business
policy. -
Sentiment for Gas
Tax Is Increasing
(Continued From rage One.)
is working very satisfactorily in sev
eral states.
"The chief objection urged against
it is that the road tax how paid by
the landowner will be shifted to the
cash tenant, who is at present havitiR
sufficient trouble without adding
anything to his burdens. This is a
vaiid argument, but before accepting
this as the deciding factor we should
study the incidence of the present
tax.
"All property is now taxed for the
building of state highways, but not
all persons who own property use
the state highways. For example,
I know a man past 60 who is pay
ing for his home from what he can
save out of a salary of $80 a month.
He has never owned an automobile
and has no expectations of ever be
coming an auto owner. He is a
type ot thousands ot men wiio pay
taxes from which they get no direct
benetit.
Hard to Pay Interest.
'The man who purchased farm
land during the inflation period and
borrowed money for a considerable
portion of the purchase price is in as
bad a position as is the cash tenant
In fact, any farmer who owes in part
for his land is doing well to meet his
interest payments and pay his por
tion of the regular taxes withort
helointr construct roads tor joyriders.
Even if he drives a small car he will
doubtless be verv willing to pay a
small tax upon 200 or 300 gallons
of gasoline mat ne uses necessarily
in order to be relieved of a portion
of his taxes uoon his other property.
"On the other hand, we find many
other persons who own no real estate
and but very little other taxable
property who own big cars and drive
them thousands of miles each year
en roads for which other peopla pay.
Is there any reason fundamentally
v-by the local joy rider or the trans
contincrtal tourist should not be
taxed for the construction of roads in
proportion to his use of the roads?
Is there any reason why the man or
the firm that engages in trucking,
using for that purpose a public high
way, should be excused irom making
a direct payment toward the high
ways? Railroads Pay For Roads.
"As matters now stand, we tax tfce
railroads to. help pay for the con
struction of highways upon which
both freight and passengers are
carried in competition with the rail
toads. The public is paying a fairly
aeavy tax in order to furnish free
highwavs to all who will travel.
"Or. the whole. I believe that any
disadvantages of tie tax on gasoline
are far outweighed by the advantages.
Personally, I am willing to pay tor my
share of road construction r'n pro
portion to the use I make vl the
toads,"

J he banner was presented to T. P.
Carey, superinteodent of the NC'
braska division by W. M. Teffcrs
general manager, who complimented
Mr. Carey on the care his employes
had exercised during the year.
Ihe -Nebraska division had 93
casualties durinir the year. These
included everything from a small in-

ture. The division made 7,703,960
ocomotive miles during the year

Omaha Shops Second.
In the shops' safety contest, the

hops were second and third, respec-
vely.
The Armstrong shops had five
casualties. . The average number of
percentage of casualties based on
1,000 employes was 9.47. The Oma

The Albina shops had 26 casualties
in an average of 1,025 employes or
a percentage of 25.36 per 1,000 em
ployes.
"I feel very proud of the work of
my division. Superintendent Carey
said yesterday. "We helped establish
record among railroads last year for
the elimination of accidents. Acci
dents were reduced 70 per cent.
A Personal Matter.
"Safety with us is a personal mat
ter. Each employe takes pride it
doing all he can to eliminate acci
dents. Safety committees are com
posed ot representatives of every
branch of the service. They have
the privilege of making suggestions
tor elimination of accidents which,
when practical, are put into opera
tion.
The safety contest was ' renewed
January 1. The Nebraska division
hopes to better its 1921 record.
General Manager Ttffers will nre-
sent the shops banner to the Arm
strong men January 12 at a social
and dance.
Board Refuses
to Act on Status
of East Omaha
owa-Nebraska Boundary
Commissioners Decide They
Have No Jurisdiction
Over Question.
Members of the Iowa-Nebraska
boundary commission, which met
yesterday at the Chamber of Com
merce in Council Bluffs to consider
claims and counter-claims of Omaha
and the Bluffs for possession of East
Omaha, decided they have no juris
diction in the matter and, refused to
take any action.
The meeting was the second of the
commission iiT regard to this matter,
which concerns possession that
portion of Iowa on the west side of,
the Missouri river. The first" meet
ing was held in Omaha and this one
was called to give Council Bluffs a
more adequate opportunity to present
its case.
, Senator W. S. Baird of Iowa
made the principal address.
He presented all phases of the
situation exhaustively and was sup
ported in his statements of law by
Henry Peterson, attorney. His point
was that the boundary had been
fixed by the supreme court of the
United States and did not fall with
in the province of the commission
in any manner.
Other commissioners discussed
taxation, water supply and schools
in East Omaha, confining them
selves ' to these problems and ig
noring1 the question of the jurisdic
tion of the commission over the
boundary. The session lasted nearly
al! day.

-Adv..
Lincoln, Jan. 4. Prices of farm
products at present are below the
cost of production and these pro-'
ducts will become remunerative only
.when business absorbs our available
labor at a living wage, a wage in
which the farmer, as well as the ar
tisan and the captalist, receives con
sideration, declared Dean E. A. Bur
nett of the Nebraska Agricultural
college in an address here today he
fore the Nebraska Swine Breeders'
association.
"There seems to be jrood reason to
believe, however, that the downward
trend of farm prices has been
checked, and that in general' we may
look for an advance with the ap
proach of spring and throughout the
coming summer," Dean Burnett
stated. "This would suggest that
the breeder maintain his herd at such
a size as will consume- the grain
available for market and that ample
torasre be provided to chteoen the
cost of his grains during the sum-
mer season.
The farmers' prosperity is inti
mately related to markets and prices,
Dean Burkett said, which are in
turn tied up with labor employment
and wages. t
"The farmer breeder must grow
into a business and the Nebraska
swine breeder has many natural ad
vantages, continued . Dean -Burnett,
"Few regions produce food as cheap
ly as we can. We are living in the
breadbasket of the world. The
wealth of corn and alfalfa, which is
cur herbage, can be fully utilized
only as we become a great livestock
reservoir.
''Even at the reduced rates now
going into effect, freight on farm
grains and livestock are 155 per cent
prewar prices, while the farm prices
generally are below those of 1914."
The extensive swine breeder al
ways must strive to keep the cost
cf production within the market de
mand, Dean Burnett said, but in so
doing should not economize too much
on the quality of breeding stock.
Breeders need especially to study the
question of type with reference to
size, vigor, symmetrical development
according to approved standards, sice
of litters, suckling quality of the dam
and general usefulness, he added.
"There never has been , a time
when an understanding of ratior.s
was so important as now. While
our farm-grown feeds are unexcelled j
for production of pork, our breeding J
animals must be more carefully j
frown, if they are to show sufficient I
truality to command the best mar-i

U'ilut" Declare Defendant
Keally Want to Be Thought
Insane 'Woman on
Stand.' '
Los Angiku, Jan. 4. Arthur C.
rurch, ki trial or the alleged mur
der of J. Helton Kennedy, acts as if
lie were "pretending that. lie dos
not want to be thought insane, but
rually want that thin to Imppen,"
according to the testimony of Dr.
Thomas J. Orbioon, ala-niKf called
by the prosecution in rebuttal.
Dr. Orbison declared he failed to
find the ."slightest symptom'' of in
sanity in the defendant.
The rebuttal was interrupted while
the prosecution called Mrs. James
w. Warren ol jsanta uaroara, wni
was too ill to attend until today.
She testified Burch told her last July
he was coining to Los Angeles to
"help a friend who vas in trouble."
Jlus statement, Mrs. Warren said,
was made on the train on which
Burch traveled from Chicago to Los
Angeles, arriving here July 24. Mrs
Warren boarded the train at Kansas
City and had several conversations
with Burch. she testified.
Burch, she said, told her the
"friend" was a woman who had sent
for him. According to other testi
mony. Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain,
co-defendant in the case, telegraphed
Burch to come to Los Angeles early
in July. '
"Mr. Burch said the person was a
very good friend whom he had
known in school," Mrs. Warren
said, "fie said she had been very
good to him when he was in trouble
and he would be glad to do anything
in the world for her. lie said her
trouble was with a man she was in
love with, He also told me he al
most put a pistol in his suitcase be
fore he left home, but thought that
would be foolish,
"He said he would be willing to
see his friend marry the man rf
whom he spoke, although it would
be hard for him."
