THE INTEREST
IS INCREASING

Not only in nearly all of the
churches of the city and valley yes
terday but in nearly all of the church
es of the western slope yesterday
meetings of direct or indirect bearing
on the big convention of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement to be
held in Grand Junction on March Z,
and 3. were conducted. A decided
impetus was given the movement
throughout the western slope district.
The biggest meeting in this city
was the mass meeting held last even
ing in the Congregational church and
which was addressed by Rev. Thomas
Moody, for twenty years missionary
in Africa. His was fine address,
intensely interesting and very sincere
and altogether the service was mem
orable one.
At IL O'Clock services In nearly all
of the churches of the valley sermons
or talks relating to the Laymen's
Missionary Movement and to the con-
vehtion were delivered.
Many local church leaders visited
the country churches either in the
morning or the evening and delivered
addresses.
The arrangements for the conven-
ton are rapidly being perfected by
the local committees.
Several hundred seats have been re-
served at one dollar per seat for the
sessions of the convention.

NEW TAXATION SYSTEM.

The citizens OF Edmonton, Alberta,
are trying a new system OF taxation.
In its essential features IL resembles
a single tax system, because il leyies
on the actual cash value OF land and
does not directly tax the implements.
In estimating the value Of vacant
lots the value of nearby improved
property is taken into consideration.
Thus a vacant lot is listed at its value
as a site for a building like the aver
age building OF the Northumberland
as a prospective site. but as an actual
site.
The tax on business is reckoned by
the square foot Of floor space, and the
rate for each different business is de-
termined by a table. corrected every
year. Thus a florist is taxed the mini
mum. twenty-five cents per square
foot, while a banker Is taxed the max
imum. $3.50 per square foot.
No attention is paid to the non-es-
sentials, 10 the character OF the build
ing or furnishings. a bank built Of
marble is taxed at the same rate per
square foot as is the bank built of
boards.
The income tax is levied at a fixed
rate on each 1000 over the first
$1,000. which is exempt from taxation.
During 1905 the rate was $1.45 per
S100.
Under this system a premium is put
upon Improvement, so vacant lots In
the heart OF the city are rare and there.
IS little buying OF land FOR a rise, the
taxes on unimproved property pre-
venting that sort OF thing.

FRAUD NOT NECESSARY.

The town of Great Falls, Mont, has
been placed in rather an awkward po-
sition by reason Of the padding OF the
census returns by the enumerators.
.'he men have been arrested and make
the plea that the chamber Of COM
merce is responsible for the fraudulent
returns.
Great Falls is quite an important
little city by reason Of its water power.
The Boston & Montana smelters are
located there. and there are flour mills
and other manufacturing concerns
which add TO the prosperity OF the
community. Il wasn't necessary TO
pad the returns in order 10 make a
showing in the eyes of the world. I'm
fortunately the leading citizens
thought otherwise, and a scandal has
resulted.

HUNGARIAN nnnGRANTs.

Among the vast hordes OF immi-
grants seeking the shores OF the United
States last year were 10000 Hungar-
ians. which is more than double the
number coming over in 1908. AS the
total population of Hungary does not
exceed 100000. the loss of young
blood is severely felt.
According 10 the views of the Off
cials OF Budapest. the money sent
home by Hungarians in America,
estimated at some S2s,0O0.0O in 1903.
does not make up for the loss of pOpu-
lation, as it would in Italy. where the
birth rate is SO high that emigration
is a decided advantage. There is no
doubt that. as in the years prior to the
disturbed economic conditions Of
19O7-s, the prices of labor in Hungary
viii be affected materially by the loss
Of so many workmen, and that It will
have an adverse effect upon the coun-
try's industrial development.
Austria Hungary has a new immi-
grafton law designed for the purpose
OF preventing the exodus OF the Hun
garians, but so far it has not had the
desired effect. The principal points
covered by the law are the limitation
of the number of steamship agencies,
the depOsiting of a certain sum by
young men as a guaranty that they
will return to serve their terms In the
army, and the restrictions with which
the emigration of young girls is
hedged about.
The Hungarians have never been
satisfied under the rule of the Aus
trian emperor. They fought long and
wei TO preserve their independence as
a nation, shedding their blood in vain.
The helplessness of the situation can
be measured by the number Of young
men and women who leave the loved
fatherland and seek homes in America.

ANOTHER BUMPER CROP.

The spring wheat and the corn
crops are both below normal. taking
into consideration the number of
acres planted. Yet the total number
of bushels raised will exceed the totals
Of 1909 by a wide margin. If the crops
are depended upon for a continuation
Of prosperity the outlook is bright
The total value Of farm products
last year was in the vicinity of eight
billion dollars. There will be no fall
ing off in dollars and cents this year.
Another favorable circumstance is the
fact that there is plenty Of money in
sight for the movement OF crops. There
isn't the remotest excuse for a calam-
ity howl.

WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.

The attack upon the new tariff law
continues, but is losing force. The
Republicans have met the issue fairly
and squarely, and since the Democrats
and their helpers have been confronted
with the facts and figures they are in
elined TO sing small.
The Republican platform pledged
the party to a revision Of the tariff. In
fulfillment Of that pledge President
Taft called a special session of Con-
gress and the revision was accom-
plished.
Then a howl went up that the re-
vision wasn't downward, the claim be-
ing made that the party was pledged
to reduce the rates. The figures show
that the revision was downward, and
the Democrats are left without an
argument. AT the state convention of
the Ohio Republicans Senator Burton
commented upon the Payne bill, the
Dingley bill, the Mckinley bill and the
Wilson bill as follows:
II tAEAE mas DtEn any one thing uDOn
which the public has been par
lcularly aroused IL has been the
tariff bill Now upon this subject
let US have campaign of educa-
ton as We had in 1896, when at
the beginning il seemed as If all
was against us, but when Novem-
Der came there was a sweeping
victory for Mckinley and sound
money.
Let us see whether the Payne law
was a revision upward A COM
parisOn is made between the
rates Of duty on dutiable imports
during the eleven months OF the
Payne bill with the whole life of
the Mckinley bill, the Wilson bill
and the Dingley bill
That percentage of duty during the
life of the Dingley bill. was 1915
per cent, during the life of the
Mckinlav bill ii was f71O per
cent; during the life of the Will
son bill il was 1882 per cent;
during the eleven months of the
Payne bill il is 41.1S per cent
IL per cent. less than under the
Wilson bill with all that 1t repre-
sents.
The figures show conclusively that
the Payne bill is superior to the mas
terpiece of the Democrats. even from
their own point of view. We shall
hear less about the tariff as the cam
paign progresses.
