the point than would be an ar
gument that it is autocratic for
the government to insist that
all men pay taxes in proper
ton to their wealth. The man
who expects protection from
organized government must
expect to perform his duty by
meeting his share of the gov
ernments expenses. BY the
same token any citizen expect
ing the benefits and privileges
of citizenship should be ready
to do his part in the line of ma
tional defense. We are now in
reality waging a defensive war,
desnite the fact the fighting is
in Europe. Our government
knows and so do all well in
formed men that German
victory over the other Euro
pean nations would have
meant a conflict between the
United States and Germany
sooner or later. Had we not
entered the war now we would
not only have endured gross
violations of our rights and in
terests but would have laid up
worse trouble for the future.
There can be no legitimate
complaint against the princi-
Pile of the draft. No thorough
going American will attempt
objection.

ANARCHY AND AUTO
CRACY

I'm this republic the people
have the privilege of gov
erning themselves as they
see fit, under the constitution.
That constitution they have a
right to change when a certain
percentage of the states wish
a change. The constitution has
been amended on various oc-
casions. Our laws are con-
stantly being changed and i'm
proved for the public benefit.
The extent to which this is
done is dependent fundamen-
tally upon the public wish.
Those people in Oklahoma
who have attempted to insti-
gate a revolt on the part of ig-
norant and misguided people
do not fight or work for demo-
cracy. They attempt to defy
the public will in the United
States and set up rule by pitt
full mob. They ignore the loyal
wishes and purpose of 80 per
cent of the American people
and have the affrontery to say
that government based on de-
cency. intelligence and justice
should give way to rule by ig-
norance, passion and plunder.
Anyone who talks for revo-
luton in the United States is an
ignoramus or worse. A peace
full revolution is constantly
underway throughout the ma
dOn. Our system of govern
ment provides for constant
progress and reform. The pro-
gressive element is in control
and valuable steps are being
taken for freedom and ad-
vancement. We need no an
archistic orators. no paid agi-
tators, no German spies to
show the American people the
path to liberty. We know well
that Freedoms safety hangs
upon the defeat of Prussian au-
tOcracy and incidentally the
crushing out Of the kaiser's as
sistants in this country. The
republic can best vindicate it
self by dealing, quickly, firm
ly and thoroughly with trai-
torous agitators in Oklahoma
and elsewhere. They are
agents of autocracy, not demo-
cracy and they belong in jail.
Whenever they appear get
them and get them right.

INVESTIGATING THE COST
OF COAL

~ DETERMINATION of the
| ~ cost of producing coal i,
progressing rapidly, ac.
cording to statement author
lied by the Federal Trade
Commission.
A large corps of expert ac-
eountants, "it was said, is busy
at the tremendous task of as
lcertaining coal costs in the diff
ferent localities.
The statement follows:
"The report that will be sent
to the President will be based
on careful cost determination
of wages, maintenance, over
head and material charges.
Depreciation is carefully con-
sidered. as are investment and
other factors.
1.-The work entails careful
study of many sets of books
and inspection at the mines
frequently of special factors
bearing on costs. As the re-
ports come to the commission
the information is correlated
and each report is carefully
analyzed and checked, up. All
apparent exceptions are inves-
tigated. The result will be
that when the report is sent to
the President it will have been
done with such complete thor
oughness that a fair and just
price can be determined on the
basis of the cost determination.
1t is the cost determination,
that the commission is con-
cerned with"

DISCUSS LAGUNA
CANAL PROJECT
Directors of the Farm Bureau Ques.
tiOn Whether the Connection Would
Benefit West Side as Much as East
Side-Table Project for Taxing Peo-
pie to Pay for Labor.

Directors of the County Farm Bu-
reau yesterday discussed at length two
great questions affecting the Valley
more water and labor.
No action was taken on either the
Laguna canal question or the resolu-
tion offered by County Labor Agent
Davenport regarding a tax for run
ming the labor bureau.
There was considerable discussion
on the question of whether the pro-
posed Laguna dam connection would
benefit the West Side farmers in as
great measure as it would help those
Of the East Side. Chiefly because of
this doubt, sanction of the Laguna
canal plan was not forthcoming. The
directors also thought that they had
not gone into the labor agency fully
enough to warrant the passage of
Mr.. Davenport's resolution and it was
laid on the table.

Collision Kills Many Teutons.
(By Associated Press

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Associat-
ed Press review of the war situation
today says:
Heavy German reinforcements have
arrived in France, where the Teutons
contemplate striking heavy blow be-
fore the American armies come to aid
the Allies.
Germany is rushing troops from the
eastern front to the west, where they
have been massed densely near the
Cambria salient for a thrust for
Paris.
The German infantry is temporar-
lily inactive on the Cambria and Other
fronts, while the artillery is active
to the southwark of Cambria.
One of the results of the dense as
sing of troops on this front yester-
day was the collision Of two Ger
man munition trains, killing hundreds
of Teuton soldiers and tearing a great
gap in the line of communications.
Northeast Of Verdun the Crown
Prince has stopped trying to tear his
way through.
Infantry fighting has also stopped
on the Italion frant.

PIMA GROWERS ARE
GETTING RICH FAST

That growers Of Pima cotton in the
Salt River valley Of Arizona are get
ting rich fast on their crops this year
is the report brought to the valley by
L. C. Main, who passed several days
there looking for sheep.
Pima cotton growers are getting 76
cents a pound for their cotton, Mr..
Main said. This price is being paid
by the Goodyear Rubber Company,
which is so much interested the cot
ton that it financed many of the grow
ers early in the season.
"Many farmers paid for their land
this year," said Mr.. Main. "Land is
worth about $3.50 to 5000 an acre.
If we could get Pima cotton in I'M
perial valley our land would go clear
out of sight. Their corn and alfalfa
is not nearly as good as ours"

BUTTERFAT GOES
HIGH IN YEAR
Imperial Valley Farmers Are Getting
10 Cents More This Month Than
They Did Last December, and the
End Is Not Yet-Price to the Re-
taller.

Butterfat is now worth 54 cents in
whole milk, a gain of 10 cents over
the price in effect at this time last
year, it is pointed out by creamery
men. This more than offsets the
higher cost of feed, it is stated.
Manager Webster Of the Califor-
MIA Central Creameries believed that
Imperial Valley will keep the lead
ership in butter productiong among
the counties of the state.
He states that his company ships a
million pounds of butter per month
from it's creameries here and else
where. Imperial Valley butter is
shipped to Japan, Texas and other
far-away places.
The creamery sells to the local trade
for I cent less than the Los Angeles
trade can buy, the difference depre-
senting the freight. The price of but
ter is fixed every morning by the
Los Angeles Butter Board of Trade
and the price to the trade is always
3 cents higher than the market price.
The creamery here will sell butter to
any person at the wholesale price in
lots of not less than five pounds.

pounds of meat, valued at $3.50, 1000,
saved for the soldiers at the front, ac-
cording to a leading packer Of this
city. A survey of several weeks, said
the packer, shows this saving to be
absolute. in that the days abstinence
has not increased the normal con-
sumption of meat on the remaining
six days ofthe week. Packers are
not delivering meat Tuesdays, and re-
tail meat shops are closed through
out the city, except those remaining
open for the sale of poultry and
