THE MAN ON THE FARM

THE MAN ON THE FARM
can rightfully be numbered
among the country's most careful
investors. The Colorado fruit
farmer, especially, is seldom en-
shared by fake schemes. He is
satisfied to place his earnings
where they earn a consistent rate
of interest and are absolutely safe.
FOR THIS REASON, an inter-

nearly eighteen years, been the
choice of Colorado farmers ard
ranchmen.

the threshing bill One at time
and in pairs he succeeded in whip
ping most of the threshers until he
struck a snag in the person of one
of the gang who had been somewhat
of pugilist in his day But stlll
the bill went unpaid and Sand did
not find out who ruined his melon
patch. Now Nancy says he intends
collecting the bill. He declares his
men had nothing to do with the de-
struction of the melons and that he
has the money due him for the
threshing of 5000 bushels of grain
Some interesting developments are
expected. The case has been filed
in the district court.

TIE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.

England today stands face to fact
with the grayest political crisis In it'
history since 1882 IS q result of the re-
lection of the budget by the Hoase oi
Lords, but the outcome of the present
one promises to have more fsr.reaching
effect than that of Its predecessor.
The budget is the government meas
ure, which provides for the raising ol
funds by taxation to carry on the work
of the government. 1t Is the duty oi
the House OF Commons TO make this as.
sessment. Fully aware Of the serious
situation which would arise by rejecting
the budget outright, the lords adopted
the amendment offered by Lord Lsns-
downe, which provided that this bill
| should 6rst be referred to the people for
their judgment. This move would prac'
, ticslly make it illegal for the commons
to collect taxes.
The present budget was prepared by
Lloyd. George, chancellor OF the exche-
quer, and wss designed 10 make the
wealthy bear the chief burden Of taxa.
tion. Besides large income and To-
heritsnce take, 1t proposed q revalus.
ton OF the land which should vastly in
crease the rate OF taxation on land aud
reduce the Income Of many land holders
by millions. As the msjority Of the
members OF the House of Lords are oWD.
ers OF vast estates, this portion of the
measure was exceedingly obnoxious. Tne
only course left was TO ri ect 1t.
Wealth and "The Trado," as the
liquor business is populsrly called, were
made to bear the main burden of taxa
ton. All the necessaries of life, such IS
fl )ur, tea, sugar, &C., remained untaxed,
but the duties on beer and whisky
were unusually heavy. An income tax
OF 18 cents was imposed on every 50 for
incomes OF $40, 900, which is equal to
$3.50 tax on every one receiving $40, 900
year. L! provided for "supsr tax"
of "a per cant on sll Incomes over $685.
600, and au inheritance tax running
from 4 percent on $25, 900 estates, to Is
per cent op S., 900, 900 estates.
1t provided for a revaluatiou Of the
land, which would vastly increase the
rate of taxation, and many Of Its op.
ponents claimed that landowners would
be taxed two and three times for the
same piece of property.
Nine men in ten outside Of Parliament
deuouoce the action Of the House Of
Lords as an arrogant defiance of the peo'
pie.
In sll quarters the present crisis is re-
gsrded as the grsvest that the nation
has faced in a century, and one that Ia
likely to result in q radical change in
the British constitution.
