Nov. 14 was a busy day with Peggy Whiting, Eunice Kane county Farm Bureau leaders last week called on farmers in neighboring counties to support efforts to obtain help from the Illinois Agricultural association in channeling funds raised by the RTA in the collar counties toward subsidizing school bus transportation. Dale Espel, manager of the Kane county Farm Bureau, explained the proposed resolution to leaders from McHenry, Boone, Lake and DeKalb County Farm Bureaus in a District I review of resolution ideas that cropped up during policy develop­ ment meetings in the respective counties. Those resolutions ideas come from individual far­ mers, part of the grass roots efforts of the state's largest general farm organization. The climax comes in Andreas and Guy Bazilewitch adding another candle to their natal cake. Nov. 16, we find Pat Parsley and Tracy Hogan celebrating another year, with Nov. 17 being that special day for John Faber. "Happy Birthday" to all of you wonderful people.

Espel asked for support of the Kane county Farm Bureau proposal in early November when Jim Collins, Elburn farmer and the District I representative on the 25-member IAA tentative resolutions committee, asked to have the sub­ sidization proposal approved for discussion by the 435 voting delegates. Collins said the sub­ committee of the state-wide group earlier turned down the proposal, causing Collins and others in the Kane county Farm Bureau hierarchy to get upset because the IAA labeled the issue "a local matter." "The Illinois General Assembly funds the RTA. Counties are taxed to sup­ port the RTA. The General Assembly has the power to bring about the change we seek. We have $6Vfe million in surplus funds, collected by the RTA in Kane county and unspent. We think it is a better use for the money than to run empty buses around the area or build glass shelters or depots," said Espel. "The RTA wastes money in every county". Farm Bureau leaders at the meeting in Woodstock agreed to take the matter before their boards of directors, possibly adopting a resolution to give Kane county farmers the requested support. They may take the matter before the voting delegates in a floor discussion should the statewide committee repeat its earlier "not a local issue" edict. An earlier meeting produced strong support among the county Farm Bureau leaders for an IAA resolution calling for some type of tax incentives to encourage farmers to put 500 acres or more in an A g r i c u l t u r a l A r e a , designating the land as in­ tended for agricultural purposes. "The act doesn't have any incentive in it," said Don Luerssen, Woodstock, McHenry county Farm Bureau president. "A Wisconsin law that is similar is trying to encourage preservation of farmland provides income tax credits. That averages about $1,400 in tax credits per farmer." At last week's meeting, members agreed to pursue this matter before the voting delegates if the tentative resolutions committee does not include it in the final package distributed on the eve of the convention in early December. DeKalb county Farm Bureau members, led by Larry Buland, Earlville, asked for support of their proposal to develop a sound, long-range national tran­ sportation policy involving all forms of transportation. "We want this nation to develop transportation in such a way as to provide greater equity among the modes of transportation, the regulations of each, and g o v e r n m e n t a s s i s t a n c e provided trucks and waterways," said Buland. Buland said the resolution adopted by DeKalb county Farm Bureau members opposes parallel branch line mergers of rail systems and the granting of railroad abandonments which tsod to lessen overall transportation competition.
