SOMETHING MORE ABOUT OUR
SYSTEM OF TAXATION

Editor Of Warren Sheaf:
With reference to "A. C. Tvedt's ar
ticle on taxation in the Sheaf of las,
week, I will with your permission,
show a few more mistakes in our
present tax valuation law, that
hope the present legislature will con-
slider.
Much credit has been given our
present system of full and honest
valuation Of property, but by looking
little closer the honesty seems to
disappear entirely and as to the full
valuation it may be both too full and
too low. To illustrate will take an
example: A has $4,000 and buys a
quarter section Of land for the mon
ey, which Is the full value of the
land. AS he must have some money
to improve said land with, he mort
cages said land to B for $4,000 and
buys horses, cattle, machinery, etc.,
from G for the money Now A is
,naying 3 interest for the use of his
80 600 is paying tax on the $1,000
mortgage he holds on AS farm. C is
paying tax on the $4,000 he got from
a; q is paying taxes or. $4,000 valu-
alton, thereby paying taxes on
$4,000 Of BIS property, unless he, A,
had used $1,000 for drilled we'll; in
that case he would only pay taxes on
S5,1OO; if he had luck to get well
for $25, he would pay taxes on SCOTS
while his neighbor, Mr.. D., who used
spade and got all the water he
needed in Is it., did not have to pay
cent tax, same with Mr.. F. who got
his water from the river and Mr.. AS
well. If a man is to be taxed for
trying to get pure water for himself
and stock, why not tax everybody
even the city folks that get their wa
ter right into the kitchen. Original
" A, B and c had $4,000 together,
while according to the above they
are paying: taxes on $4,000 more or
less. Same with credits, for exam
pie: A & Co., have $4,000 stock Of
groceries on which they owe to the
wholesale houses $1,000, on which
they are paying interest because
they can't get $1,000 outstanding
credits with their customers or
which thev get no interest. y. The as.
SCISSOR values the stock full value
$4,000, without any deduction OF
debts. Their credit, $1,000. making
the total $4,000. on which they pay
taxes.> while in fact they only owr
$4,000, and have to pay taxes or
$1,000 extra just because thev. can't
get in the money to pay their debt
This is the way the present tax Law
works out in practice. There seems
to be room for Improvement.

On the Job

Perhaps the best answer to those
who have questioned the stability of
the Rumely business is the mammoth
shipment of Rumely machinery which
left Chicago on May II on its way
10 Oklahoma and Texas.
This special trainload of over 80
ears was assembled ut Chicago-ihe
factories of the Rumcly Company at
La Porte. Battle Creek. Richmond
and Saltwater, contributing. The
average value of each ear is over
$1,000, - 500, 900 is II conservative
estimate of the value of this single
shipment.
Most important of all. however, Is
The fact that il is an all sold ship
ment. Every machine in the train
load is already sold and on it, way
To the buyer-a sign on each ear
gives the name and address of the
purchaser of each machine.
4 daylight run was made in order
to give farmers and others an OPP
portunity to see the Especial" when
il stopped at each station. Interest
ing literature and souvenirs were
distributed.
This special trainload. by the way,
is but one of three such trainloads
leaving the Rumely factories this
month-l00 more carloads of all-sold
Rumely farming machinery are being
made up in Chicago for the Kansas
City and Wichita territories. Another
will follow early in June for the
Northwest.
All of which makes il look ~
though the Rumely company is very
much on the job.
l.. A. Thompson of this city has
just returned from trip in Arizona
where he sold three carloads of
Rumely machinery. Il look, also
like the Southwestern Machinery
Supply Company was also an the

DIPLOMATS in MEXICO
SEEK INTERVENTION
Financial interests in Britain,
Germany and U. S. Also APP
peal to Wilson.

WASHINGTON. March s.-Extreme
pressure upon the Wilson Administration
to force American armed intervention in
Mexico has been renewed.
The pressure comes from three sources:
The European diplomats in Mexico CITY
who backed General Huerta and are nat
urally apprehensive for their safety; the
financial interests of the United States,
Great Britain and Germany. whose In
vestments are not returning anything be-
cause of the troubled conditions in the
country. and those who advocate the d.
viding of Mexico into two States and who
resent the abuse that has been heaped on
the priests and nuns by both sides.
To all who have brought the question
to their attention. President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan have declared that the
President was standing firm on his utter
ances at indianapolis, that the United
States had no right to intervene. Only one
this would change this policy and that
would be a massacre of Americans and
other foreigners.
There is no attempt made in official
quarters 10 DISGUISE the dthiost ihtoiS'

sions would be made.

CRITICS OF TARIFF IN

Great Detail - Presents
Finds of D. M. Barclay, Spe-

WASHINGTON, March Secretary OF
Commerce Redfeid made reply to the
critics Of the Democratic tariff today In
a report based on a letter sent President
Wilson on December "a last by the Manu-
facturers' Association of Montgomery
County. Pa, which declared the present
customs made It necessary that women
should sit helpless In cold dismal little
rooms and their children face starvation"
The counter-attack took the form of a
report on the industries Of the complain
ing county by u. NJ. Barclay. a special
agent of the Department Of Commerce.
Mr. Barclay finds, according to Mr..
Redield's communication to the President,
that the business of the county Is In good
condition, that the tariffs i'll effects are
nil. and that destitutlon Is scarcely greater
this winter than last. The Associated
Charities of Norristown, in January, 1914
extended aid to 20 persons and in January,
1915, to 73 persons, in n total community
of more than $1,000.
Secretary Redfeld declares the troubles
of the Montgomery County manufacturers
are to be found in their unbusinesslike

says:
Several manufacturers stated that
there are certain abuses and evils which
now exist and have existed in the tex
tile industry for years which affect the
business as no tariff ever could. The
greatest of these evils are cancellation
and protection The first puts it to the
option of the buyer whether he will
take goods which he has ordered and
contracted for in good faith The sec
ond enables the buyer to get his goods
at market price at time of delivery in
case the market has fallen off, when the
period between the time the contract was
made and date of delivery may extend
over several months"
Out of 30 manufacturers investigated,
12 stated that foreign-made goods could
come into direct competition with their
products Five of these produce low
price seamless hosiery, five medium and
low-price wooden cloth, one cottonade and
cotton worsteds and one woolen and wor-
sted carpet yarns.
In January, 1915. the number of en-
ployes in the 30 concerns had decreased
71S from a year before. The decreases
were confined almost entirely to eight
concerns, and 4S1 of these were reported
by three manufacturers of seamless
hosiery.
The report goes into great detail of the
seamless hosiery business. Hundreds of
