Work of Eirty-Scvenih Congress.

Senator Lodge, when asked lis npin-
ion of the last session of congress said:
This session has been remarkably re
plctc with good legislation. The two
army measures, the general stan and
the militia bills, are cause for congrat-
ulation. The Philippine currency bill,
long needed. not as thorough as | could
have wished, but comprehensive and
excellent in every way, in so lar as II
goes, is another commcndahic accom-
uishmcnt. The department o. com

Democrats Stultify Themselves.

The Aldrich linaucial bill and the
Philippine tariff bill, on which meas

was rivctcd during the closing hours of
the session, were lost. Both were talk

ately and with malice aforethought.
Stultifying their protestations Of >olic-
itudc for the Filipinos, so extensively
and tcdiously expressed year ago. re-

the statehood bill, the democrats fill

Meeting Of Taxpayers
\ mass meeting Of the taxpayers OF
Scugwick county was held IN the dis
trict court room last Monday afternoon
The meeting had been called by the
county commissioners for the purpose
Of considering The advisaDility of re-
ducing the present tax levy. y large
number Of people responded TO the in
yitation OF the commissioners and when
the house was called to order at ,
o'clock by County Clerk NcNcw, the
court room VAS crowded. The meet
ing was organized by the selection of
A. j. Lang As chairman, and q. NJ.
Braxtau as secretary.
Chairman Lang called for a state
mcuL OF the object Of the meeting and
his request was responded to by l.. Il.
Luyeland. Mr.. Loveland stated that a
meeting of taxpayers had been called
for the purpose OF considering the prop
osltiOu tn reduce the tax levy in this
county for the current year. He ad-
mitted that taxes were high, but in
view OF the fact that the taxes had
been levied for the laudahle and lcgiti-
mate purpose of paying oil the !ndebt-
cdncss o! the county, and for the pur-
pose of building Il court house, he was
in favor OF allowing the levy to stand
as made. Mr.. Loveland showed that
with the amount of money that would
be collected in taxes this year, provid-
ed the levy WIS not reduced. the pres
cnt Indebtedness of the county could
be liquidated and court house costing
50 COO could be built.
At the conclusion of Mr. Lovcand's
speech l.. Darling secured the recog-
milton OF the chairman and introduced
IA written petition calling upon the
commissioners for reduction of 9
mills in the tax levy. The 9-mill re-
duction was asked for in the following
items; 4-mill court house levy, !
mill general school levy, and Il mill
levy for general county purposes. Mr..
Darling'S petition occasioned Il gener-
al discussion which was participated in
by Mr.. Darling, Mr. Redford, Mr..
Coumhe and others, who favored the
petition.
The petition was opposed by W. M.
Labaree. l.. E. Loveland, II. c. Nc
New, and Others, in Il strong line Of ar
gument. However. those who favored
a reduction of the tax levy had ma
jority and the main features OF the
petition presented by Mr.. Darling
were adopted. The petition rs finally
agreed upon calls for resembling OF :
mills of the present levy and any 9TH
, er reduction, which in the Judgment
OF the commissioners it is posi- bic to
make.
While this petition of taxpayers was
simply IN expression of the opinion of
4 majority of those present 1T the
meeting, that the tax levy should be
reduced, and as such can nave no bind
lug effect upon the board OF commis-
Sioners, it is possible that some action
| along the recommended line will be
taken by the officials at a meeting to
be held next Monday.

Sugar Beet Culture,

The growing of sugar beetS is not
agriculture, but horticulture, nGd for
this reason, if for no other, demands
much more intensive culture than
any agricultural crop. The sugar beet
is Il delicate, highbrei plant, and will
resent very decidedly any neglect by
Immediately showing i reduction in
tonnage. sugar content and purity.
Hence the extreme Importance Of Civ
ing the most careful attention 10 de-
tails in growing This crop-dctailS
which with any other than horticul-
tural one, would be of small couSe-
quence.
The farmer who is beginning the
culture Of sugar beetS finds himself
face to face with crop demanding
treatment different from any he has
been accustomed to grow. He has to
do with u crop in which quality cuts
much more Of Il figure than with any
other. He must grow beuts within q
certain limit of size, and of 4 reQus-
aeN PuiAA SpItSuN- ilpN
shall he proceed to attain the highest
returns is pertinent question.
The sugar beet needs a deeply lOOs-
ened, we'll mellowed soil, uniformly
mixed and atTording the plant easily
available plant food 1t should be in
such 4 condition that the air may read
lily permeate il and exert its anchor
ating effect. The soil must be free
from weeds, and put into Il proper con
dition to absorb and retain moisture as
well AS to dispose OF i large amount Of
the latter into the Sub-Soil, and last.
but not least, must possess surface
suitable for embedding. terminating
and growing the seed. To meet all
these conditions different processes
aud operations will have to be reSorted
to, according to the nature of the soil
and the climatic conditions. but every

Mobile, Ala, Nov 25.-Capt. Jullum,

which has arrived from Roeas del Toro,
reports that the new Panama govern
ment seems to have imbued the people
with the greatest confidence. Business
at Bocas del Toro is progressing as
never before, the Frightening in all
lines being noticeable He says the
confidence in business is especially
shown in the premium on gold When
Boeas del Toro was in Colombia the
premium was s. 60 but that already it
has dropped TO s. so. and conservative
business men predict $3.50 in short
time.

Foreign Bondholders Can Not See
How Panama Can Repudiate Re-

Money Which Helped Her to
Throw on the Spanish Yoke.

London, Nov. 25.-Foreign Secretary

OF the foreign bondholders TO supply
further details OF the Colombian loan.
When drawn up these will be for
warded 10 Ambassador Durand and
presented TO Washington. to urge the
rights of British bondholders in con-
nection with the republic of Panama.
From the council has been secured
the following:
In regard TO the reported statement
OF the Panama commissioners that
Panama declines responsibility for the
Colombian debt on the ground that
when the greater part of the money
was borrowed Panama was not in
cluded in Colombia. the facts appear
10 be as follows: Panama declared its
independence of Spain November rs.
lS2l, and in the solemn declaration of
the revolutionary junta stated: That
the territory of the isthmus belonged
10 the republican state of Colombia. to
the congress whereof IL would. in due
course. send its deputy The war with
Spain continued for some time there
after. and in 1922 Colombia issued an
external loan of s10.000.000, the
greater part of which was to be de-
voted TO prosecuting the war of indie
pendence. In 1924 Colombia issued a
further loan of s23.7500oo for the
same purpose II would be surprising
If Panama attempted to repudiate re-.
sponsibility for the money which as
sisted her TO become part of free
state"
The foregoing is the gist Of a
lengthy statement which will be for
warded to the British embassy at
