WEDEKING ASKS I STATE CONTROL Highway Head Ollers Plan To Lower Taxes In Road System i Cannelton, Ind.. Jan. 22.—(U.R) j J Absorption of the 40.000 miles of county roads in Indiana into the 'state system, coupled with trans- | ter of the counties' share of g:tsolline taxes to the state highway corn- ■ mission, was suggested by Albert i Wedeking, commission chairman, I as a tax reducing measure. Wedeking, in a speech before I the local Chamber of Commerce, | said county governments spend an- ! Dually more than $8,000,000 in road ' maintenance. Transfer of this lAirden to the state would enable local authorities to reduce •ax levies in all counties by al leu*,. .6 cents, he | estimated. | Tlie highway commission's proIgram would not he affected by the [change, Wedeking said. In addition to maintaining tlie county mileI age the commission could continue 'to build 400 miles of pavement each wear. Indiana lias approximately 140,000 miles of major county reads ! which, if the counties spent only S2OO a year per mile for m.inten[ance, cost $8,000,000 to service. , Wedeking said. “By giving tfte state road department tlie $2,500,000 !in gas taxes sent to counties, the J comraision can build 400 miles of j high grade pavement and maintain the 40,000 miles of additional high-i 1 wavs.” I Wedeking proposed spending $13,- ' 500,000 per annum for construction 'of pavement and bridges, and sll,I 750,000 for maintenance of all state i mileage. This would leave $1,750.- ! 000 for supervision, equipment and I other expenses, he pointed out. “If such a program is agreeable,” I lie said, "it could lie placed into al i most immediate effect." | SEN ATORS WAR ON WILKERSON ICONTIVI'ED FROM PAGE ONE) proceedings before a commissionj er. j Chairman Borali of the sub-com- , niittee announced at opening of I the hearing that the investigation of Wilkerson would be organized on three lines: 1— The Daugherty labor injunction. 2 — The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul receiverships. 3— The Chicago street railway I receivership. i James A. Sheehan, counsel for ! receivers in the Chicago railway j receivership, denied there was any collusion in the receivership I granted by Wilkerson.

tons, with doubled production of I cotton and flax, tripled produc- ! tion of sugar beets and enormous ! growth of cattle breeding. The plan also envisages a soln- I tion of the problem of goods dis i tribution to eliminate rationing. The political bureau contended I the successes of the first five j year plan were possible oily be-! cause of the defeat of Trotsky's ' theory that constructive socialism [ in one county alone is impossible. : On the contrary, the outline said, the forces of socialism here are already victorious. “The deep crisis in capitalist j lands is tlie strongest proof that tlie collapse of the capitalist ; world is approaching,” the bureau ; said. ARKANSAS FINDS NEW “BUSINESS" BENTONVILLE, Ark. —(U.R)— Northwest Arkansas, long noted in agricultural circles for its ad- i lierence to the one-crop system, I looks forward to renewed prosperity in 1932 through diversification. Apple growing constituted virtually the entire production of [ the section fir years. Then came | six years of “hard luck" — late, freezes, low prices, droughts. Casting about for some mean: of salvation, tlie fari-iers went in tor truck gardening. Dairies lie-; gan to dot tlie landscape. Straw-1 berry farms sp'rung up. Tourist I camps were established along th n ! main highway. Trout pools were | built ami streams of rustic beauty ! were converted into parks and I playgrounds. The latest innovation is tlie op-' portunity offered by the 90-day i Arkansas divorce law. Bentonville is 1 but briefly re-! moved from St. Louis, Kansas j City. Tulsa, Oklahoma City and' Dallas. It is making a strong bid 1 j for its share of the “divorce busi-j ness." ! From Bella Vista, one of the: outstanding resorts in the Ozarks, recently went out 2,000 letters to! Kansas. Oklahoma, Texas and 1 | Missouri lawyers, advertising the; "advantages your clients may find, in tliis beautiful northwest Ar-1 kansas City.” HAIRDRYER NOW DRIES HAY Berkeley, Cal.—( UP)—The beauty parlor, which makes beautiful women more beautiful, and ordinal y women into Hollywood actresses. has come to the aid of the farmer and enabled him to save his hay crop. The hair dryer, which cuts down skull laundry work, applied to farming has proved a superlative hay dryer, experiments of Prof. Roy Balner, of the University of California. reveal. Artificial hay drying means a greener cutting and a consequent saving of leaves. The farmer has been up against it heretofore,, when it <ar.c to drying hay. Despite his best e forts, he usually was caught by a rain, which bleached out the color and reduced vitamin A which r.lakes cows contented. Hay is now dumped into a dryer Painer states, at a cost of about $5.25 per ton. Cows fed machinedryed hay roll up their eyes, exclaim “U-u-m!" and add another inch to the cream line on the milk hottie without being told.

(U.R)—A 10 per! cent wage reduction and employment stabilization in tlie 29 billion 1 | dollar rail industry will be effected I i today or tomorrow, leaders of capital and labor in conference here' expected today. i David B. Robertson, geenral chairI man of the Railways Labor Executives' Association, deniad. however, [reports that an agreement actualIly had been reached. He slid such; ri m >rs were purely speculative. i “There is absolutely no basis fori ■the report in today's press that anj I agreement to accept tlie 10 per, . cent, wage reduction has been ’ reached.” he declared. “It is oh-1 , viously a case of a guess with >nt ■ , .ny foundation. We have not ac-, , epted tlie wage reduction to date.”; Tlie representatives of 1.900,000 j I union workers and 210 class A rail-! roads expressed confidence liar- I niony had been reached. Daniel Willard, white-haired president of the Baltimore * Ohio, [promised on behalf of the commit;tee of nine railroad executives tbit the roads accepted in "good faith” I tlie union request for stabilized I work. ; Chairmen of 21 major unions ini ' [mediately conferred/with 800 col-1 leagues representing minor labor! I organizations to determine if this | pledge fullfilled their demand. i ' 1 Probing Girl’s Story — Logansport. Ind.. Jan. 22—(U.R) R. E.
