RITCHIE, BOURBON LEADER, DIES OFJTROKE (Continued from Page One.) minutes later, ahe found Ritchie alt ting helpless In a chair near the tele phone. She helped him to a bed and attempted to- call nearby physician. She got In touch with Dr. Cecil Bagley. He called his brother, Dr. Charles H. Bagley, Jr., and the two reached hla bedside about fifteen minutes later. When they saw the seriousness of hi condition, they called the fire de pot tment for a pulmotor, realizing that in that way they could get a tank of oxygen the most quickly. Ritchie's breathing by that time was labored.- He died at 1:45 a. m. One of the first to express regret at the death of the noted Mary lander and pay him tribute waa Gov. Horry W. Nice, republican, who defeated him for a fifth term for governor In 1934. "That la terrible, Juat terrible," Gov, Nice said, upon being called at his home and Informed of Ritchie's death. "I am shocked beyond expression, the state has sustained a heavy loss a loss that will be hard to meet." Death ended speculation over the possibility of Ritchie taking a lead ing role in opposition to renomlna tion of President Roosevelt at this year's democratic convention In Philadelphia. His outspoken criti cism that Roosevelt new deal policies tended to circumvent the constitu tion and engulf states' rights stamp ed him as an outstanding figure among - conservative members of his party. 4 CALL DEFERRED The February term of the circuit court for Jackson county, waa opened this morning by Circuit Judge H. D. Norton who deferred calling of a new grand Jury and announced that the petit Jury would not be called to trial duty for "a week or two." The present grand Jury, George L.

SMmiMO PRIZE CROP TOBACCOS STUDY OF FARM TAX PROBLEM IS CONFEREES PLEA Agricultural -Economics Committee Says Present System Too Burdensome To Farmer Hits Income Establishment of a commlulon to study the tax problems of farmers, 'to develop an equitable system ox taxation, which will relieve real prop erty of Its present excessive burden," Is recommended by the agricultural economics committee of the Jackson county farm outlook conference, which met last Thursday and Friday. The committee Is of the opinion that the present system of real estate taxation is entirely too burdensome to the farmer," the report reads. 'Moreover, as a rule a greater portion of the farmers' net income la taken for taxes than for any any other group of citizens." It la recommended that the state legislature co-operate with the farm ers, for the setting up of a commis sion of Informed persons, to study tax reduction plans. Oppose O-C Return The agricultural economics com mittee went on record as opposed to the proposed return of O-C revested grant lands In Jackson county, to the forest service. The area Involved to tals . 433,233 acres, and the report reads: The committee believes that the Income of the county will be decreas ed If any change la made, and there fore recommends that the adminis trative status of these lands be unchanged." The committee also recommended establishment of grass crops on range and brush land to increase stock pas turage; conserve rainfall by reducing run-off, and maintain stream flow during the summer prevent soil eros ion, improve recj eatlonal facilities, as the coming of tourists provides a market for farm produce; and holds against settlement of sub-marginal lands, by people of small means, who try to eke out a living." The report further reads: ' Not All Settlers Prosper "Such settlers usually obtain school and road facilities, at me expense of taxpayers located In more favorable areas, and not Infrequently also re quire aid from relief funds. It Is the belief of thib committee that settle ment of such areas Is detrimental to the welfare of the county, and is of little or no value to the settler.' Need of more Irrigation water sup ply for the future Increase of small farms Is stressed, and steps for the securing of additional water supply are urged. Regarding the farm future In the county, the report says: "Prices during 1935 were somewaat higher than In 1934, and it appears this upward trend Is likely to con tinue In 1936. It is believed that farmers In Jackson county are now liquidating their past indebtedness, and It la recommended this be con tinued aa rapidly as income will per mit. Further 'expansion at this time la not recommended, unless such ex pansion will promote bettor land use, or develop the farm Into a sound economic unit." Betting forth there are 42 soil types In Jackson county, "which require specialized handling. If best results b obtained," it is suggested that all newcomers, who wish to purchase farms,, consult the county agent, ag ricultural credit agencies, or estab lished farmers as to the type of farm ing best adapted to the land they in tend to buy."
