Judge Brewster went on:

GOVERNMENT WINS IN
LAND FRAUD CASES

Denver, Colo. June THE govern
ment won an apparently important vic
tOry-the first it has gained since it
began its prosecutions for alleged land
frauds in the west-in a decision handed
down Monday by federal judge LEVY,
in the Yampa anthracite case. Judge
Lewis held that although the lands
which the government is now seekinr to
recover through equity suits were once
involved in criminal cases IN which the
defendants were discharged as not
guilty, the results of that trial do not
enter into the chanery proceedings, and
the court oveTTuled every motion to
have the chancery suits thrown out Of
court Under this ruling it is thought
that the government may win back lands
in Colorado alone worth s20,0O0,00O.

they be taxed and r. L. Nichols, repre-
senting the hucksters and peddlerS con-
tended that they should not be re-
quired to pay any more than at pres
ent.
Nichols opened the argument for the
defendants by reading the protest
which has already been printed and
which was filed with the city council
and referred to the sanitary committee
last Wednesday,
Following the reading of the protest,
former mayor Sweeney, who has ap-
peared several times as an advocate of
different interests since hts retirement
from office proceeded to show the
councilmen why they should tax the
hucksters and peddlers. He said in
part This petition says that about
10 men are engaged in this work and
have families dependent upon them
will say there are from $50 TO 800 re-
tail grocers who have families to sup
port, have high insurance rates TO pay
and high rent as we'll as taxes to the
city, county and state and no man
should be permitted to come to town
and sell goods without paying his pro
rata share of the maintenance of the
city government.
People and Ordinances.
They say this ordnance does not
come from all the people Well. If we
were to walt for the people to bring
in ordinances or even advocate them
we would not have any building or
dinance, plumbing ordinance or several
of the others that we have.
The legislature of Texas has con-
sidered peddlers dangerous and gives
YOU the power to put them out Of bust
ness altogether
IF the small grocers in the suburbs
were properly protected, they could
carry fresh vegetables and fruits, but
when such a condition exists that any
man who so chooses may put a basket
on his arm, gather fruit and vegetables
and then go out and sell them, the
grocer has no protection.
"Protect Business Men,
81 don't think these men should
complain; everyone knows that the ma
jority of the valley farmers bring in
their produce and sell 1t in bulk, but
even If a few valley farmers were to
suffer by this ordinance. that should
not deter you: is that any reason why
our business men should be driven out
of our city? You are here to protect
the interests of the business men and
property owners of Ell P1so and have
nothing to do with the valley farmers.
They have a commissioners court they
can apply to.
They say we have not indicated -he
amount of the tax proposed. Quite true
nor do we intend to do so. for I have
been mayor of FL PasO myself and I
don't think anyone ever told ME what
taxes we should levy and the retail

TT has always been my personal i'm
preston that peddIers and huckssers
| should not be permitted in the city You
can take the large cities of the country
and they do not permit 1t.
Farmers Pay City Nothing.
The valley farmers pay nothing to
the city of Ell Paso. The city on the
other hand pays to the county from rs
to so percent of the taxes paid for the
purpose of supporting the valley farm
ers and building roads 20 miles down
the valley in every direction; then they
come in and complain against the man
who pays rs percent of their taxes be-
sides his pro rata of the municipal
government maintenance
IF you wish to tear the pegs out from
undereverything let things go along as
in the past. Then the merchants will be-
come peddlers, will close their stores
and you will have to close the city hall
because no taxes will be paid. In all
events, l think fair license should be
placed upon the hucksters and ped
dIers.'
Sweeney interrupts Nichols.
r l. Nichols. representing the
hucksters and peddlers. of whom there
were 10 present outside the rail. said:
This is the first time I have heard
the arguments advanced by those ask
ing for this tax.
Mayor Sweeney says, in his personal
opinion. the hucksters should be taxed
out of business and refers to some cities.
In St. Joseph. Mo. Kansas City and ST.
Louis, where I have been, they have
never yet taken such a step as this.
yet they are surrounded by a rich agri-
cultural country and would be in a
position to do so if they so elected
Sweeney here interrupted the speaker
Kansas City and St Louis and they
state that the hucksters and peddlers
must go 10 a particular market place"
Nichols: Il know the custom in st.
Joe and understand from the hucksters
in ST. Louis"
Sweeney: I take my information
from the law books Of st. Louis and
not from the hucksters-"

Washington, D. G. Especially 49,
Steps were taken to incorporate the
Rockefeller Foundation in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The bill for this
purpose was introduced by Senator
Gallinger and was referred to the
Committee on Judiciary. The pur-
pose of the foundation is to provide
for general organization to con-
duct philanthropic work along all
lines. 1t is understood that the
Foundation will be endowed largely
by John D. Rockefeller and that he
takes this means to dispose of a
large part of his enormous wealth.
The incorporators named in the bill
are John d. Rockefeller, John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates
Starr J. Murphy and Charles O.
Heydt. These incorporators are au-
thorized to select associates, not to
exceed total of 25 and it is provid-
ed that there shall not be at any
time less than five.
The Rockefeller Foundation, ac-
cording to the bill, is organized to
promote the well being and advance
the civilization of the people of the
United States and its possessions in
foreign lands and for the acquisition
and dissemination of knowledge for
the prevention and relief of suffer
ing and promotion of any and all
Of the elements of human knowl-
edge.
While drawn generally along the
lines Of the act. Incorporating the
Carnegie Foundation. the Rockefel-
Ter bill goes much farther, since the
Carnegie Foundation is designed
chiefly to provide for a scientific re-
tirement and pensioning of super
animated teachers.
1t was stated by Senator Gallinger
that Mr.. Rockefeller already had
given away $52 100000 and that he
was seeking method of disposing
of his fortune that would benefit
mankind The foundation is organ
lied on lines similar to the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement OF
Teaching. As in the case of the
latter Institution the Rockefeller
Foundation will be used to receive
and dispense gifts of money other
than those obtained from the origi-
nal endowments, the amount of
which has not been fixed.
Senator Gallinger said:
II am not authorized to speak
for Mr.. Rockefeller. But there is
no doubt that Mr. Rockefeller in
tends to give away his money on q
scale greater than any other living
man. am not acquainted with all
Of the details of Mr.. Rockcfeller's
plans, but it is expected that Wash
ington will be made the hcadquar-
ters.''

the proposed postal savings bank leg
islation up to the United States
Treasury In such way as to forward
the idea of the proposed central bank
of issue. But for the Borah amend
ment 1t would have been possible to
withdraw the postal funds from the
banks in time of war or financial
panic and invest them in some $780,
OO0.O worth of Government 2 per
cent. bond now held by bankers.
AS it goes to the House, the bill
authorizes the various money -order
postofices to accept sums of one dol
lar or more from depositors, and to
deposit these sums in the local banks,
where the money is to remain unless
Withdrawn by the President in case
of war or other exigency. In case
of this withdrawal the funds are to
be invested in Government securities,
but with the proviso that such Sc
curities shall not, draw less than IN
per cent. interest. The control of
the funds is invested in a board of
trustees composed of the Postmaster
General, the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Attorney-Gen The ag-
gregate balance allowed to any de-
positor is $500, and no person is
permitted to deposit more than $10O
in any one month. The Government
is required to pay 2 per cent. inter-
est and must exact not less than IN
per cent. from the banks. the extra
quarter Of per cent being required
for the payment of expenses and
losses.
1t is estimated that such a law
would bring much money out of hid
ing and result in a fund ranging all
the way from five hundred million
to one billion dollars.
