Th%' Illinois Agricultural A^socia-j 

 (loll is supiiorting a measure which 

 Krovides for a gasoline tax to re- 

 M.'ve in iiart the excessiv*' burden of 

 tjixation now carried by farni lands 

 a.'nd cit.v real estate. The Association 

 slates tliat it wants the gas tax to 

 iljisplaco jind not add to the present 

 ;«op.My burden. ; 



It estimates that a two cent tax 

 ^il•r gallon of gasoline would provide 

 alliout JlO.nocOOn annually. Of this 

 slim. Si;,aOrt.O«n lo J7. 000,000 would 

 140 direct to the counties for con- 

 struction and maintenance of State 

 .lid roads, and the balance would go 

 to the .stale .\id fund, distributed to 

 counties where the need Is 



Ireatest. A fwo cent tax. it is be- 

 ll, ved, would take $4,000,000 off 

 tile state |iro|ierty tax books and thus 

 relieve jiropr'rt.i' of part of its tax

MUST MAKE FARM 

 HOME ATTRACTIVE 

 FOR LASTING GOOD 



Farm Wife Wants Conveniences 

 in Home to Keep Pace With 

 Modem Farm Progress 



Inless the farm home is madi 

 iiist as convenient and attractive as 

 the town and city home, we cannot 

 hope to kei'ii 111.' farm wde contented 

 and happy on the farm. 



That is the opinion of \V. H. .Moo- 

 (Iv. Port liyron, Illinois, executive 

 .omiuitleeman for the Illinois Agri- 

 .ultural .Association Ironi the ]4tli 

 Congressional district, speaking re- 

 .'.ntly o\er KYW. ('liicago. 



Moody point, d out that time ami 

 lahor-savfng devices have been ap- 

 pliid to farming oiierations Ions. 

 ai;o, l.iil thai the farm home ha^ 

 not kept pac with the rest of tin- 

 farm aijd has sulTered in the general 

 'march iof progress. This, he de- 

 clares, (s because tariiprs generally 

 have not considered home conveni- 

 ences as indisiiensable as good e(|Uil)- 

 iiunt in farm operations. "The 

 farmer." he said, "promiitly dis 

 carded the grain cradle when the 

 hand rak.- realier aiipeared, and In 

 mm luirchased tlie self rake, the 

 .Marsh harvester, and finally the mod- 

 ern self-liindev, realizing that to ig- 

 nore them meant to fall by the way 

 side in the march of luogress." 



.Moody raised the iiuestion. "Does 

 the farm house wife enjoy the mod- 

 ern convi'iiiences that are found in 

 the city home? Unfortunately, 

 many do not. H.' mentions the gaso- 

 line engine, the pressure tank, the 

 bath room and the radio as essen 

 lial in modernizing the farm home. 



"Can you blame the farm wives 

 for wanting In leave the farms?" 

 Moody asked. "Tin- farm home is 

 repulsive and she longs to have what 

 can be made the most delightful 

 abode on earth- the old home with 

 modern devices at a very moderate 

 cost. The farm home can be made 

 as convenient and attractive as the 

 city palace and whin that is done, 

 the rural dweller is delighted to in- 

 vite her city friends to her country 

 liojue." 



Iicounty reported for S4 |ier cent and 

 another reported a collection of 83 

 per cent. 



"It is this kind of spirit wliicli 

 siiells success in farm bureau work," 



says EA'aiis
