H. W. CHERRY kJ hard-surface- d - Editor and Publisher COOPERATIVE MARKETING GROWS A CURE THAT COSTS NOTHING Grade crossing accidents can be prevented, not by taxing public for grade changes, but by automobile drivers stopping and looking before crossing railroad tracks. This is proven, by expriments of the Standard Oil Company, of Indiana, which requires all its truck drivers to stop, look, and listen before crossing railroad tracks. In the year 1924, the vehicles operated by that company crossed railroad tracks 3 ,000,000 times without an accident. Public officials and others having to do with the regulation of traffic and, avoidance of accidents may well consider the significance of this performance. . It is a remedy for accidents which insures easy and quick cure at no expense to taxpayers, whereas to remedy by grade changes would take half a century for the 256,000 crossings in the United States and cost the taxpayers no less than $15,000,000,000. 1 President Coolidge believes that "the farmer is better able to handle his own business than anybody else. As an example he cites the growth of cooperative marketing movement which will show this billion dollars, or nearly year a turnover of about two and one-haof the total agricultural business of the country. That the government may encourage cooperative marketing is shown both by President Coolidge and Secretary Jardine. But the governments proper function is not to engage directly in cooperative enterprises, in buying and selling, for that, as these authorities have warned, would be but a form of government price fixing. What the government can do effectively is to furnish the farmer with accurate and needed information on planting of crops, in ac- cordance with national and world requirements; to provide improved credit facilities as an aid to. orderly marketing; and to make availably the facts the farmer needs to guide him intelligently in an industry that is related vitally to world conditions. . lf one-fift- h TOTAL TAX GOES UP DESPITE REDUCTIONS FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION It was found, the fyj I O SALINA F SALINA-UTA- 1 f Federal Reserve System Member fl H PlJ Jj t) LJ j Cl rj f J 0 JAMES FARRELL, Pres.

Constitutionality of the license law is attacked on the ground that it is the exaction of a toll and that tolls for use of roads, toward the construction of which the government contributes, are prohibited by the constitution. It is cited that Oregon has acceptedi federal aid in high!f" way construction.
