FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Let Ls Have Oats
Presumably, every enthusiastic
Scotchman would acclaim the
title of this article. It is well that
this should be the case; but why lim
it the interest in this wonderful crop
to the people of one small country
Certainly, oats are just as important
a crop to every nation as to the
Scotch, though it is possible they
eat more of them than any other peo
ple. Certainly, the oat ought to be
as important an institution in our
» agricultural economy here in Geor
gia as anything we possess. It
holds the key by which we may un
lock and develop new activities of
amazing proportions. If we are ever
to be a live stock state in the
proper acceptation of that word, it
can only be accomplished through a
greater capitalization of the oat crop.
On few occasions in our history has
it ever been of more moment and
importance than at the present time.
Last summer, we had a most disas
trous and prolonged drouth. It re
duced a potential corn crop from
well-above sixty million bushels to
approximate.v fifty-two million bush
els. We have made as high as sev
enty-two million bushels of corn in
Georgia, and never at any time in
our history have we exported corn.
This means that we have never had
a surplus; or. in other words, more
than we required to meet the needs
of our farmers. In fact, we have
never raised nearly enough corn in
Georgia; and, on that account, our
swine industry has had a checkered
career. For cheap corn and lots
1 of hogs are synonymous, and, in
proportion as we depart from that
crop, the number of hogs maintained
on our farms and ranches will de
cline. From this it should not be
gathered that corn alone is the one
desirable crop for hogs. However,
it is the foundation crop, and there
fore one which cannot be overlooked
or ignored. If we cannot increase
our corn crop, statement to which
I do not subscribe, we can certainly
increase cur oat crop, because there
are millions of acres of land in Geor
gia suited to the cultivation of oats
that lie idle every year.
In this particular year when our
corn crop is away below what it
should be, we cannot afford to sit
idly by and allow these lands to lie
fallow during the fall and winter.
By taking time by the forelock, we
can produce a crop which will di
rectly take the place of a part of our
4 corn crop, and, in the case of horses
and mules, we might with propriety
substitute oats altogether for corn
in the ration ordinarily fed them.
We therefore have a really desirable
and proper use for all of the oats
we can possibly grow in Georgia.
The more oats we grow, the better
will be able to take care of our
horses and mules and the larger
amount of corn will we have left
with which to finish off an ever-in
creasing number of hogs each year.
A more extended cultivation of the
winter oat in Georgia is therefore a
matter of paramount importance
from both a material and economic
standpoint.
One might suppose that It was
very difficult to raise winter oats in
Georgia. No doubt they have the
severe losses from last winter’s
freezes in mind. It is true, that very
large areas of oats were destroyed
last winter by one single freeze, and
therefore the farmer says he is out
of luck, the crop is an uncertain one,
and he will not plant it any more.
♦ In all of these statements, he is fun
damentally wrong. For oats can be
grown as successfully in Georgia as
anywhere in the world, provided cer
tain things are done. One of these is
to treat the oat seed for smut be
fore it is planted. Another is to
plant it in open furrows. The thrid
is to use only rust-proof varieties.
j Is there anything difficult about
this program to the landowner, or
to the conscientious, earnest farm
ers? To the indifferent, careless man,
the suggestions made may appear as
real obstacles. If he feels that way
about it, he had better not plant any
oats. Someone will say that plant
ing in the open furrow is difficult
and costly. So is any good thing.
A fine house was never built out of
second-growth sap pine timber.
I lanting in open furrows is simply
taking out crop insurance. The
American people are spending bil
lions of dollars a year for life in
surance. If it is a good thing for the
» average man and his family, why is
it not a good thing for the farmer
and his crop? Let us take out in
surance on the oat crop in Georgia
which means that we shall plant it
m open furrows. The cost of this
piocedure is nothing ns compared
with the loss of the crop. i t mav
take a little longer to plant a given
area, of oats by this method, but it
will not be necessary to sow them so
thickly. One can, therefore, save
some fertilizer and seed. One can
plant them later with thee ertainty
that they will do reasonably weil
than when they are sown broadcast
♦ or sown on the level with an ordi
nary grain drill.
It is useless to plant anything hut
rust-proof oats in Georgia. I think
the best varieties are the Texas Rust
I*'oof and the Fulghum. Some other
strains may be included with pro
priety, but certainly these are two
standard sorts. It is important to
obtain good seed that ate true to

name. Unfortunately, seed import
ed from other sections and some
times from the north is sold to our
farmers. Such seed is unsatisfac
tory, and planting it constitutes a
waste of time and money. It ought
to be a high crime to sell a farmer
seed of this character. It is not
too late to seed this crop in open
furrows in north Georgia during the
next two weeks. In south Georgia,
seeding may be done during the next
three or four weeks. Every rarmer
ought to have an area of five to ten
acres in oats. Personally, I believe
that there are, or ought to be, just
as many acres of oats as there are
acres of corn in Georgia. There have
been few years when we needed to
emphasize the cultivation of oats
more than the present one. This is
because a freeze cut the crop of last
year down to a relatively small
amount. Our corn crop is also very
short. The oat is our main de
pendence for securing an early sup
ply cf a concentrate with which to
replace corn in the ration fed our
live stock during the late spring
and early summer months. Our hay
crop is very short this year. No
finer hay can be obtained than that
made from oats, or oats and vetch
grown together. Get busy, there
fore, and plant a considerable area
of oats. You may have to neglect
something, but you cannot afford
to neglect this matter.
How should planting be done?
Oats should be seeded on lands that
are well prepared as possible. There
is no use expecting the oat crop to
develop, satisfactorily unless it is
given a fair chance to survive the
winter. It may not always be nec
essary to break the land, A good
deal depends on seasonal and soil
conditions. Certainly oats may be
planted in cotton fields with good
success where the stalks have al
ready been ripped up and turned
under in the fall to destroy the seed
crop of boll weevils. The fact is,
most of our cotton lands ought to
grow oats io good advantage. This
would insure our rotating crops and
this would be an advantage in fight-,
ing the boll weevil if we would make
a systematic effort to turn all the
cotton stalks under early and to a
sufficient depth we would very ma
terially reduce the weevil seed crop
for the ensuing year.
By all means fertilize your oats.
This will be good practice even on
cotton lands. It. is best to use a
formula containing 2 per cent or
ganic nitrogen, 8 per cent phos
phoric acid, and 3 per cent potash.
On the sandy lands of south Geor
gia, 10 per cent phosphoric acid, 5
per cent potash and 3 per cent ni
trogen will be a better formula to
use. The minimum application
should be 300 pounds. In most
cases, it 4 will be better to use 500
pounds. Put the fertilizer under the
drill row when you plant the seed.
Be sure, however, to keep the fer
tilizer from coming directly in con
tact with the seed.
A single stalk planter may be us 1.
You may also use one that will
plant three rows of oats at a time.
You may use a grain drill with a
large, heavy hose attached to it.
In that event, I would stop up.
every other tube so as to plant the
oats in sixteen-inch rows. There is
an idea that this is wasting space,-
but I do not think so. The oat
crop tillers very freely. It is amaz
ing how a crop seeded in sixteen
inch rows will spread out. and occu
py ami cover the gifmnd before
harvest. Let us have oats and
then some more oats. This is the
program with the “saving grace” in
it and whmh the agriculture of
Georgia needs at this time as never
before in its history.
Dosing Chickens With Epsom Salts
J. E. P., Mcßae, Qa., writes;
How much epsom salts would be
a dose for ten chickens, fed in
dough? Is Glauber salts as good
for chickens as Epsom salts?
Also how much copperas should
be. fed to chickens?
Epsom salts or Glauber salts may
be used with equal satisfaction for
the purpose you have in mind. The
dosage would be one-half teaspoon
ful for a full-grown fowl. This may
be administered by mixing it with
soft feed, such as you suggest. It
is considered good practice by many
poultry fanciers to put a little epsom
salts in the drinking water. When
this is done, about one-half tea
spoonful to a quart of water is the
proportion to use. This is supposed
to keep the system relaxed and in
good condition. Copperas or sul
phate of iron is considered *an ex
cellent ingredient to use in tonic or
condition powders, especially in
cases of debilitation, or excessive
diarrhea. Not more than one-half
grain to one grain, however, should
be used at a single dose. For ten
good-sized fowls, five grains would
be a sufficient amount of this ma
terial to administer.
Discretion Should he Used in
Feeding Tankage
H. G., Lexington, Ga., writes:
Will you please advise me if
tankage from an abattoir is all
right for feeding to hogs and
chickens, and how should it be
fed?
We have had considerable trouble
from the use of tankage with our
chickens, and we have about discon
tinued feeding this material to any
considerable extent. This applies not
I only to any product which might be
| made locally, but to the materials
1 furnished by the larger manufac
turers as well. Apparently, this ma
terial contains too much oil and fat
to make it as desirable a food for
chickens as ordinary meat scraps
will furnish. It is true that chick
ens need some protein food, and,
theoretically, digester tankage should
furnish this element as effectively
as anything else; but we have not
found it as satisfactory as we had
hoped, and we think the reason for
this is contained in the explanation
already offered.
In feeding any sort of digester
tankage to hogs or poultry or any
other class of live stock, I would
proceed with a good deal of caution.
Feed only a small quantity and then
discontinue its use. It is important
that digester tankage be made care
fully and put up so as to prevent
its deterioration before it is used.
In other words, it is not a product
which will keep for any considerable
length of time under our peculiar
climatic conditions.
Where digester tankage is used
for hogs, not over five to ten ]»unds
should be mixed with each 100
pounds of corn meal. Use the
smaller amount to begin with. Hogs,
of course, are much more ravenous
than chickens, and have much
larger and stronger assimilative sys
tems, and. therefore, they can use
coarser, heavier foods than chickens
with satisfaction.

So you see I am about to get behind time.
All this was on account of sickness, but 1

I see some from Lakeland. I was down
there last fall, visiting my uncle who lived
in Plant City. 1 had a grand time while
there and think Florida is a beautiful place
for a home, but give me Carolina for my
home. I won’t say that I couldn’t make
any other state my home, but yet 1 am
very foolish about the place in which I
live. I know there are other places just
as good, and better, I suspect. You cous

we would have gone swimming and have
eaten peaches. My! and melons to finish
up with. I am thinking is is going to be
too cool to go to the pond any more this

: Dear Folks:
I have finally gotten hold of an
' excellent pamphlet on entertaining.
Not many games in it and I really
haven’t space here to give games
in detail, but where they are short
I am going to print them and am
going to run a regular scries of en

Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mrs. Mitchell, of Carolina:
Your letter reached me too late
for me to be of any assistance in
your entertainment. I got it just
the day before the party was to be,
and in the confusion of opening the
mail I lost the envelope with yours
enclosed. Please send me your ad
dress and I will return your stamp
and give you some ideas about that
type of entertaining that may help
you in the future.
John:
Why not send her a really fine
bottle of perfume? That will take
the place of many bouquets of flow
ers. If you will send me a stamped
addressed envelope I will gladly
furnish you with names.
Mary T:
It is perfectly correct to wear lace
collars and cuffs on a crepe dress.
If you can have two or more sets
you will always be fresh and sweet.
It was only for a short time that
the style of plain dark neck line and
wrist lines held good.

You are just a foolish, vain girl.
Stop thinking that all the boys are
“crazy about me” and you’ll be

you’ll find that they study and feel

Dear Friends: Our letters all dwell too
much on the commonplace. Let’s make
them more interesting. We care not wheth
er you Jive in a castle or a cabin—we are
interested only in persons and in tilings.
Let's forget our everyday environment for
a moment, and discuss, contrast and com
pare our views on tlie vital questions fa
miliar to all of us—questions of science,
of doctrine and of life. For instance. I be
lieve Darwin was the greatest promoter of
s<-iei ce since Archimedes. What’s that?
(Hi. lei's forget about Grandpa Monekey.
All theories have tlieir weak points. But
tlie joke of this one is. that most of us
would rather be the descendants of a per
fectly cute and docile monkey than of some
folks we might name, every man casts his
own shadow. Ind the contest lies in cast
ing yours farthest. But perhaps we are
living in the meridian cf our day. when
our shadow falls shortest! “Fortune is a
great big wheel that goes around like an
endless reel.’’ Dreams are but the haunt
, j ing specters of a forlorn hope—gaunt, grim
. | and ghastly ghosts of another world. You,
I the individual, are the universe, the whole.
When the stars rise do the shadows fall?
What weird, unmerciful power is it that
faithfully guides our faltering footsteps
down (he well-trodden trail to the carnif
rrous shrine of that Plutonic monster. Curi
; esity? If we hut be content at first with
, the savor of the meat, might we not some
: day possess the meat? But only are we
i disillusioned when our teeth sink onto the
I bare bone of reality. Don’t those “strive
for an education” lectures sometimes tire
you? They are all right, too much of the
same thing becomes monotonous. Who will
please change tlie record? Well, now that
I have stated the pro, who will state the
con? And who will trade a photo for one
of my poems? Everybody write to a 17-
year-old boy. Truly thine,

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
In Our Frail Vanity, We Catinot ,
Bear to Be, Imperfect in the Fyes
of the One We Marry, Which
Accounts for the Failure <’f
Self-Improvement Corses in
the Home
S -JOULD husbands and wives try
to correct each other’s faults
and improve each other?
It would seem that there could be
but one answer to this question.
Every human being who possesses a
grain of intelli-
gence must de
sire to progress,
to learn, to be
come better edu
cated and more
cultured. This
being true, it
seems that one
of the sacred ob
ligations of ma
trimony is for
the stronger one
of a married
couple to reach
! out a helping
I hand to the
weaker one and
,/Z
help lift him or her up to the higher
life.
More than that, it would seem
that the inferior one of a married
couple would be eager to sit at the
feet of the superior one and learn
ail that he or she had to teach and
that he or she would feel that no
criticism could come so graciously
as that which was inspired by love
and an ardent desire for his or her
own good.
Nothing, however, could be fur
ther from the state of the case.
Neither husbands nor wives accept
with gratitude a few well-intentioned
hints about their manners and
habits. The minute either a man or
a woman attempts to turn matri
mony into a mutual improvement so
ciety it becomes a scrapping match.
Neither a vamp nor the Demon Rum
can break up a home so quickly as
can a critic on the hearth.
It is a great pity that men and
women * efuse the gift that their
husbands and wives yearn to be
stow upon them because so often it
is the magic talisman that would
bring them the success they crave.
Sometimes, for instance, a woman
comes from a much better faniliy
than the man she marries. She is
better educated and has had far
wider social advantages than he has
had.
He has great native ability. He
has push and enterprise, all the
qualities that enable a man to climb
high, but he will never reach the
top-most rung because he is handi
capped by his lack of early advan
tages. He is shy on grammar and
short on pronunciation. He is like
a bull in a china shop in a drawing
room, and hopelessly befuddled by
the silver on a dinner table.
His wife would like to call his at
tention to his lapses in grammar,
and pronunciation and teach him
beautiful English. She would like to
instruct him in table etiquette and
help him to acquire the little nice
ties of manner that distinguish the
gentleman from the boor. Eut she
dares not do it, for at the very first
suggestion that he change his ways
she sees that she has wounded him
to the quick, or else he flies into a
rage that makes it impossible ever
to reopen the subject unless she is
one of those women who are born
fighters and enjoy a domestic scrim
mage.
Nor are wives any more amenable
than husbands to criticism. It is a
very common thing for a man to
marry out of his class under the
fatuous belief that he will have no
difficulty at all in making over his
wife according to his taste. A man
busy at work, I ain reading. I surely do
like to read and I like all outdoor sports.
I have not boon taking The Journal very
long, but 1 think it n fine paper, and read
almost every tiling in it. 1 rend nil tlie
letters mid Miss Dix's talks, and the stories.
I just think they are real good. Oil, well,
I guess I had better bring this little missive
to a close by saying that I am a lonely
boy. age between eighteen and thirty, and
that I am 6 feet low, fair complexion, gray
eyes and light red hair. Oil, I know that
most of the girls’ have been scorning red
bair but what does tlie color of hair make,
after all? I know that this is the best hair
I have ever had, so you see 1 can not tell
the difference. I want to get acquainted
with some of the writers to the Letter Box,
so boys and girls write to a farmer lad.
Will answer all letters received it I can.

who is cultured in mind, elegant in
manner, fastidious in dress, will of
ten choose as a wife a girl whose
pretty face has captured his fancy,
but who is uneducated, untaught,
loud of voice and bold of manner,
and who knows neither how to dress
or to conduct herself in society.
Her husband would like to polish
his rough diamond, but he attempts
to do so at his peril. If he sug
gests that she try to imitate the
quiet charm of manner of some old
woman friend of his, she becomes
green-eyed with jealousy. If he finds
fault with her clothes and tells her
that real ladies do not wear flam
boyant garments that shriek at the
beholder, she goes into hysterics.
If he tries to get her to read and
study, she weeps that he is tired
of her and no longer loves her.
And, after having proven by his
failures that no husband can im
prove his wife, he gives up the
hopeless task and settles down to
make the best of his bad bargain
or else repudiate it, according to
the type of man he is.
Certainly it is tragical that a
woman can not tell her husband
that he eats his soup audibly, or
that he has told the same old stories
over and over again until people
flee at his approach. For if she
could tell him she could have him
from being a laughing stock among
his acquaintances.
Certainly, it is a tragedy that a
man cannot tell his wife that when
she paints herself up like a barn
door, and dyes her hair the color
of strawberry jam, she makes of
herself a figure of fun, and that she
bores people to death talking about
her children. For if she would lis
ten to him it would have her from
being ridiculed wherever she went.
But. neither husband nor wife dare
offer a word of honest criticism for
fear of bringing on a scene, and
being accused of nagging.
Perhaps the reason that husbands
and wives are so much more sen
sitive to criticism from each other
than they are from any one else is
because their vanity cannot stand
the knowledge that they are not
perfect in the other one’s eyes. Their
self-complacency cannot endure the
shock of finding out that the other
one thinks that they need any im
provement.
In the days of courtship the man
has told the woman that she was
an angel, that she was as far above
other women as the stars are above
the earth, and that she was the
most beautiful and gifted and mar
velous being ever created. The
woman marries him expecting to
listen to this paen of praise the
balance of her life, and naturally
she doesn’t enjoy the douche of cold
water she gets when her husband
begins telling her of her faults,
and suggests remodeling her char
acter, her manners and her habits.
Before marriage the woman has
put in many solid working hours
kow-towing before the man, and
telling him how big and wise and
strong and great he is, and he as
sumed her support for life in order
to have ever at his side a compe
tent incense burner. Is it any won
der, then, that he is chagrined when
he finds out that his wife considers
1 him a subject for reformation in
stead of admiration.
All of us know that the world at
large has a keen eye for our weak
nesses and a dull one for our vir
tues. The thing we really marry
for is to secure for our own the one
person who really admires us, and
■ our vanity will not permit us to
see that that person also sees our
• faults. That is why husbands and
) wives cannot offer each other help-
> ful and constructive criticism.

RURAL MINORITIES IN MANY
STATES OPPRESS THE CITIES
THROUGH ANTIQUATED LAWS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.
The rural population of the coun
try, more particularly the farmers,
may complain that they are op
pressed economically by the cities
and large industrial centers, but in
many states they have a startling
political advantage over the urban
folks. They are buttressed in this
advantage by constitutional provi
sions and laws that are admittedly
unjust and antiquated, but that it
has never been possible to change.
Thanks to apportionments and
bases of representation that are al
together one-sided, many state leg
islatures are controlled by minority
fractions of the populations and
voting strengths of those states. It
is a case of the tail wagging the
dog, and of the dog’s being unable
to catch his tail, no matter how
hard he chases it.
In these states, representation in
the legislative body was fixed arbi
trarily without consideration for the
possible subsequent growth of the
cities and towns, and the rural pop
ulation has never been willing to
surrender this advantage. A hun
dred years or so ago it was said
that England had a borough, Old
Sarum, that did not have a house
nor a single inhabitant, and yet was
represented in parliament by two
members. There’s nothing to paral
lel that in the United States, but
there are situations that invite com
parison.
Attention was called to this mat
ter by the spectacular upheaval in
the Rhode Island legislature. This
state, with a population slightly In
excess of 600,000, is overwhelmingly
urban in character. It has only
4,083 farms, and the rural popula
tion is but 2.5 per cent of the total,
and yet the farming communities
virtually control the state.
The constitution adopted in 1842
provides that each city and town in
the state, regardless of size, shall
have one member of the state sen
ate, and one only. Thus, Provi
dence, with almost a quarter of a
million of inhabitants, and Paw
tucket, Woonsocket and other indus
trial centers, can be outvoted and
dominated completely by .a combina
tion of villages and fishing hamlets,
many of which have populations un
der 1,000. West Greenwich, for in
stance, boasts but 367 inhabitants,
but the senator from that town can
offset the vote of the senator from
Providence, who has a constituency
almost 700 times as large.
In New Jersey, the state consti
tution decrees that each county
shall have one and only one state
senator, and apparently that decree
is to stand for all time, for the small
counties have defeated all efforts to
amend the organic law. There are
21 counties, and of these, nine have
84.5 per cent of the state’s total
population, but are accorded a rep
resentation of less than 43 per cent
in the state senate. Two counties,
Essex and Hudson, have approxi
mately 40 per cent of the state’s
population, but they have less than
10 pei- cent of the senate. These
counties, with 652,089 and 629,154
residents, respectively, are balanced
by Cape May and Sussex, with 19,-
460 and 24,905, respectively.
Crossing over into Pennsylvania,
it is found that 70 per cent of that
state is urban, and yet the lower
branch of the legislature is largely
dominated by the rural element.
Each county has one member, re
gardless of its population, by which
it is possible for the five smallest
.counties, with less than one-half of
one per cent of the people of the
state, to cast 2.4 per cent of the vote
in the house of representatives,
while 28 counties, with 8.7 per cent
of the population, have 13.5 per
cent of the strength of the house.

Dies Singing Hymns
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—While his
lips formed the words of his fa
vorite hymn, sung by his pastor
and members of his family, James
Berwick Forgan, 72, noted financier
and dean of Chicago bankers, died
Thursday night of heart disease at
the Presbyterian hospital here. He
had been ill only five days.
Mr. Forgan’s banking career be
gan when he was seventeen years
old as an apprentice in the service
of the Roy...* Bunk of Scotland,
where he was born April 11, 1852.
He was educated at Madras col
lege, St. Andrews and Forres acad
emy, Forres, Scotland., and became
associated with the Bank of British
North America at New York and
Halifax, Nova 'cotia, in 1885. In
the same year he went to Min
neapolis and became manager of the
Northwestern National ban 1 - at
Minneapolis.
Mr. Forgan became president of
the First National bank here when
Mr. Gage retired in 1900 and was
chosen head of the First Trust and
Savings bank and the National Safe
Deposit company.
Progressives Urged
By McAdoo to Unite
On Davis m Election
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Oct. 29.
W. G. McAdoo, former secretary of
the treasury, talked for fifteen min
utes to a large crowd at the railway
station here Tuesday on his way to
Los Angeles from Baltimore, where
he was recently operated upon.
Mr. McAdoo declared the campaign
was a "three-ring circus,” adn that
"privilege is chuckling in its sleeve"
because it has divided the forces of
porgressivism. He urged ell pro
gressives to unite on one candidate—
John W. Davis “who is the only
man who has a chance to defeat Cal
vin Coolidge.”
“The fight, as I see it,” said Mr.
McAdoo, “is between the privileged
and reactionary forces on the one
hand and the forces of progress on
the ohter. The desire to control the
government by the privileged classes
is becoming stronger all the time.
This desire has been more marked
during the last four years than ever
before. Whenever privilege tries to
control government ,it has a disinte
grating influence upon the govern
ment.
"W« have had an example of cor
ruption and privilege, and if you
want this privilege to continue, vote ;
for Coolidge.”
Sumter Fair Poultry Show
Requires No Entry Fees
AMERICUS, Ga., Oct. 29.—Henry j
P. Everett, secretary of the Sumter ■
County Fair association, announced
today that no entrance fees will be :
charged in the poultry section at the
Sumter county fair, to be held No- •
vember 4 to 8. It had been stated
that entrance fees would be collected
in this section, and the change was !
made by fair authorities in order
to encourage the largest possible dis
play of poultry.
As an illustration of what the
rural element will do it mav he men
tioned that last year it forced
through a bill prohibiting daylight
saving time in Pennsylvania.
Out in Illinois, more than half the
population is in Chicago and Cook
county, but that county has only 19
state senators while the rest of the
state has 32, and 57 state represen
tatives against 97 for the rest of the
state. This figures 37 per cent in
voting strength, while the popula
tion exceeds 50 per cent. The 11li 7
nois constitution provides for a re
apportionment every ten years, but
there has been none for 24 years
and it is said to be virtually impossi
ble to elect a ticket pledged to a new
deal in representation.
It is claimed that the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitu
tion was ratified in Illinois as a re
sult of rural domination, although
the wets won four to one in a state
referendum two years ago.
What Happens to the Cities
What happens to the cities when
the country folks are in the saddle
is shown by the creation of a public
utility commission, appointed by the
governor, in which the cities have .
no vote. This commission fixes the ;
car fares and electric light, gas and
telephone rates which the city folks
must pay. The legislature must ap
prove municipal bond issues and Chi
cago complains of being held to a
bonded indebtedness so low as to be ■
ridiculous, precluding needed mu- '■
nicipal improvements and enter- '
prises.
In New York, the constitution pro
vides that no one county shall have
more than one-third of the members
of the state senate and no two coun- .
ties that are contiguous or sepa
rated only by public waters shall ;
have more than one-half. This was :
aimed at New York city, of course,
as was the provision giving each
county, regardless of size, at least'
one member of the lower branch of
the legislature.
In Massachusetts, as a result of a
constitutional amendment adopted
in 1857, representation in the legis
lature is based upon the number of
legal voters in each community, and
not upon population, nor upon po
litical divisions such as counties and
municipalities. The courts have
held that legal voters means duly
registered voters who may lawfully
cast their votes on election day.
Nevertheless, the city of Boston 13
controlled in many respects by the
rural communities and smaller cities
of the state. Its tax rate is fixed
by the legislature, and a finance
commission of five members, with
advisory and investigating power, is
appointed for the city by the gover
nor. The Boston police commission
is a state body. All utility rates in
the city are passed upon by the
sta-e public utilities commission; the
Boston Elevated is controlled by trus
tees named by the governor; the
city’s building laws are enacted by
the legislature; the commissioners of
pilots for the port of Boston are ap
pointed by the governor, and the
state licensing board has jurisdiction
over saloons, dance halls, etc., in the
city. •' *
