To End Rate Probe| Minneapolis, Dec. 29.—(P)—A peti- tion requesting the Interstate Com- merce Commission to céase and dis- { miss its current grain freight rate in- vestigation will be filed in Washington soon in behalf of trade groups in nine cities and two manufacturers, F. B. Townsend, Minneapolis traffic asso- ciation director, sald Thursday. The petition, Townsend announced, «will say “we believe that if the in- vestigation is dismissed railway ex- ecutives will see the economic need of lower rates, to insure free move- ment of grain, “In the present deplorable financial condition of railroads, it is doubtful if the commission can compel sweep- ing reductions in rates on grain and grain products. On the other hand, the railroads themselves, if permitted, may inaugurate reductions which the commission could not compel them to make.” DOG'S STOMACH A BANK Worcester, Mass., Dec, 29.—(P)— “Mike,” a Boston bull terrior oper- ated on Wednesday for removal of a silver half dollar from its stomach, was found to be more valuable than the owner anticipated.

Thursday that beginning with the} first of the year they will be deprived of bread and sugar, of which they now receive small rations, | This action, reflecting the food} shortage in Russia, is an extension of the government's “no work—no food” Policy and apparently is designed to inject more women into industrial oc- cupations with the view to ultimate abolition of the home as the unit of family life. At the height of the campaign which draw more women into industry a census of Moscow showed that there were approximately 100,000 house- wives in the city at the end of 1931. At that time it was estimated that the number would be reduced by half at the end’ of this year. Eighteen per cent of the 100,000 were over 60. Now they are entitled to 40 grams of bread a day and 800 grams of sug- ar a month from the government's regular supply stores, but after Jan. 1 they must go into factories to earn their bread and sugar, or pay the ex- orbitant prices at the private market where bread now costs $3.50 for 400 grams as compared with about 10 cents or less at the government bak- ery. All healthy women not engaged in “socially useful” work come under the category of housewives. The wives of a number of high government officials id included in that catgory. | City-County News 7 ——— Mr. and Mrs. William Braun, 122 Sixth St., are parents of a son born Thursday at St. Alexius hospital. * oe * Mr. and Mrs. J.

TO RAZE GATES MANSION Minneapolis, Dec. 29. — (P) — The Gates mansion at 2501 East Lake of the Isles Boulevard, unoccupied most of the time since its completion in 1914, will be torn down, wrecking op- erations to start within the next week or 10 days. The property now is own- ed by the estate of the late Dr. D. @rooks. An executor said it was the opinion of owners the building is use- less to the community and thet in its wrecking some needed employment can be given, as well as making the site available for a number of homes. STUDENTS HIT R. 0. T. C. Chicago, Dec. 29.—()—Protests against maintenance of reserve offi- cers training corps on college and university campuses were voiced Thursday at the first student congress against wars. Six hundred students attending the congress also were urg- ed to guide their faculties into de- veloping anti-war sentiments. Many instructors have not taken firm stands against war, several speakers said, be- | cause of “fear for their salaries.” WOMAN LEAPS TO DEATH New York, Dec. 29.—()—Mrs. Isa- bella M. Dudley, 55, a piano teacher, jumped to her death from her sixth- floor bedroom window Thursday.

She suffered an injury to her hip and spine in a fall about two years ago and was forced to use a wheel chair 19 months, police said.

Editor, Tribune: | Certain well-meaning persons are suggesting that a change be made in| collecting taxes, and that instead of our present method, taxes should be collected on a monthly basis. They also tell us that farmers who are several hundred dollars behind could easily manage to pay $10 or so a month until their taxes are paid. We beg to differ with them. If it is so easy for a farmer to pay $10 per month, then why didn’t he lay aside that sum each month until the taxes were due? The truth of the. matter is farmers cannot pay | taxes in installments or any other way when what they. sell brings so little. And where they are going to pick up $10 per month when they| haven't got 10 cents is a mystery to us. ‘We might be able to pay our au-| tomobile license fee in monthly in-/| stallments, since the sum is compar- atively small, and we think some such method of payment would prove Pop-| ular, but to try to collect such a/ large sum as would be necessary to/ pay out several hundred dollars in| taxes is a foolhardy venture. | In the first place, we would need | @ big force of tax collectors to do) the collecting, and in the second! Place, instead of only being asked to pay once or twice a year, the peo- ple would be eternally harassed and dunned. No. Instead of thinking up any such schemes, let those who are) really interested in helping the farm-| er get together and evolve some plan! whereby he can get a living cost for| his products. i We have been shown, however, that there are great obstacles in the way of our farmers being given a square deal. Millers complain that the allotment plan would hugely in- crease the price of flour and also would increase the price of bread one cent per loaf. The chances are gets won't be worth having, but we would like to say that if millers and bakers were put on the same basis as the farmer, prices would not be so high but what the consumer could} pay them. And if bread is one cent! higher per loaf, wouldn't it be bet- ter, providing this extra cent guar- anteed the farmer a decent price for his product, thus causing men out of employment to go back to work because this additional money is giv- ing the farmer money to purchase | necessities with? It is a vicious circle all the way around, but it would seem as though the time has come to decide what our future is to be. If the farmer is to be continually discriminated against, we are never going to reach, that prosperity of which many and sundry persons haye prated for so long. For without agricultural pros-| TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29 ,1982 perity we cannot have national pros- perity. A FARMER. LET ELEVATORS DO IT Temvik, N. D., Dec. 21, 1932. Editor, Tribune: I see in the news that {and senate are again “battling with{er relieve the monotony of Mrs. Ida the problem of trying to help the/Hauck’s life as an elevated station various lines of agriculture, and we all know that it needs much help. !Some things have been tried and| first time it happened she was thrilled have been called failures. I believe the allotment and taxing plan will fail, because. it proposes to help only certain commodities and when they get so high you will find people turning to other things and then the things to be helped will not in such demand and the price! will fall again. I have an idea that I may be able to make as clear as mud to you and still it may go across with you, so that you can work it out and whip it into shape so that it will be some- thing to think about. It is claimed the reason prices are low is because we produce a surplus and because we have to ship out our surplus we have to sell all at the world price, which makes our tariff inoperative. Our crop experts come pretty close to predicting our production long be- fore harvest. We know or can find ; out what our average home con- sumption is and hence we can find what our exportable surplus will be. The department of agriculture could then advise all the primary buyers that so much would have to be exported and so much would be | used at home, and say that if 25 per cent of the crop would be exportable. Take wheat for instance. A farmez brings in a load of wheat; pay him the world price for 25 per cent of his load and for 75 per cent of his load pay him the world price plus the tariff of 42c per bushel. When the elevator ships this grain to the ter- minal, use the some procedure and put the terminals under control so that they would have to ship that part of the grain or other commodity that was bought at the world price, out of the country. The advantage I claim for this plan is that it is quite free of red tape. It is workable and it will not create an army of officials to oper- ate it. It looks as if we are going to be cursed with a continuation of the one cent a gallon tax on gasoline, which I believe is unjust to the oil industry and also to agriculture as it puts a heavier burden on the farmer while he is planting and har- vesting. Hoping that I have not tired you | with my poor efforts at making my idea plain, and hoping that some plan can be worked out that will work and accomplish what is hoped for—a stabilized agriculture which will mean a stabilized and prosperous America.
