COMMITTEE IS TOLD FARMERS WANT RELIEF : House Agriculture Body Secks to Learn the Desire of the Majority Washington, March 10.(@)-— The question whether a majority of the jarmers of the nation favor govern- ment control of crop surpluses was examined today by the house agricul- ture committee whith is seeking to frame @ farm relief program. William Hirth, chairman of a com- mittee -named recently at the Des Moines. agricultural conference to confer with members of congress on the subject, declared that so far as he could learn, the agricultural indus- try as @ whole favored such @ plan. Representative Atkins, Republican, Illinois, declared that grain produc- ers’ conventions in Nebraska, Iowa, Minois, Ohio and Indiana, had failed to mention “the export corporation idea” under discussion in the resol- ution they adopted, but Mr. Hirth re- plied thet scores of grain elevutor as- sociations of farmers had been rep- resented at thé Des Moines meeting and had endorsed the program. Doubts Success of Plan Mr. Atkins said his experience as a farmer had made him doubt whe- ther the plan would work out ha moniously. 2 > “When we were fighting the co mon enemy,” he continued, “the grain elevators that were trying to keep our products from the market, we were in accord, but after we took control amount of dissension developed. “[ will vote for any bill that prom- ises the farmer relief, or even if likely to promise it. But I have been wondering what degree of harmony there is among farmers on the que tion of relic: Rapid Development Electrical-Industry In State Described ,.

The Ottertail recently has purchased many power, plants in the Northwestern section of the Morris said.

The Montana-Dakota Power com- pany, a new consolidation operating in’ the northwestern part of the state. It now has three different sections, one serving Crosby, Noonan, Colum- bus, Lignite, Portal, Bowbells and Kenmare; another section operating from Beach to Sentinel Butte and receiving power from a station at Glendive, and the third section oper- ating from Fairview, Montana, to Watford Ci These three systems now are ‘being connected. Day of Small Plants Past Analysis of the vailable facts shows a strong tendency toward the elimination of small, isolated gener ing plants since 1923, Morris s: “This climination has resulted in the construction of approximately 751 miles of high tension transmission ,Jine and has increased the taxable property of the state by oyer $1,500, 000 on the part of the public utilities involved.” e “Caleulation by these companies has shown that their investment will be profitable, based on reasonable rates to the consumer or they would not haye spent the money,” said, Mor- ris, “In fact in, I believe, every case where transmission lines have been built into a town there have been substantial reductions in-the general light and power rates then in effect in these towns. The savings in oper- ating costs more, than offset the car- rying charges on the transmission line “investment necessary to reach that town ‘The present tendency, Morris said, js toward the construction of highly ‘efficient steam plants on rivers where water for condensing purposes will be available. The larger plants gradu- ally are lowering their fuel consump- tion to one pound of coal per kwh of power, Morris id. Future large power developments, Mgrris said, will be seen on the Mis- so@ri river where there is an ade- quate water supply and fucl is cheap and plentiful. P State Regulates Rates Fear that consolidations and merg- ers will eliminate competition and inerease rated is unfounded, Morris aid, “even if the power companies should desire tq take that suicidal procedure.” The reason is, he ex- plained, that regulation of rates is in the hands of the state. Cheap coal..and high cost of de- veloping hydro-electric power make the construction of water power plants inadvisable, Morris said. Low banks and large overflow areas coup- Jed. with excessive seepage and evap- oration of water and the high cost of laying dam foundations, lack of uniformity of flow make the ‘hydro-electric plant too expensive. Hyfdro-electric power would cost 8 kwh, in overhead charges ’ being produced for 4 cents per kwh in ‘small steam power plan .

In many instances, he said, the main qualification for an assessos is that he have the time to do the job. As a result, he said, there are instances in which property worth $30,000 or $40,- 000 and earning a nice income is assessed for only $3,000 or $4,000. Reasons For Dissatisfaction One farmer has a quarter section of land valued at $5,000 but find that his neighbor's land, just as valuable, is listed at half that amount. As a result, he said, there is no cause to wonder that people are dissatisfied with the present taxing system. “The honest taxpayer is willing to pay his taxes and bear his fair share of the burden but even he cannot concede his obligation to pay other men’s taxes,” Thoresen said. The remedy, he explained, is to be found in better assessment. a f TODAY i (Continued from page one) carpenter, was able to carn ONE DOLLAR A DAY THROUGH THE YEAR. eaters The foundation of American pros- perity rests on good management of the national finances.
