more gladly. But it should not be for
gotten that the privileged classes, small
Jas they are in numbers, are well or
|ganized, and have custom and tradition
on their side. If these small units units
for their total membership is small, and
their individual branches almost in
signifcant-can elect representatives
pledged to the protection Of their priv
fileges, how much more can the great
body of laborers and farmers do?
At this very moment, for instance,
Congress is considering a question that
/ Is of the utmost Importance to the
producing classes, that of taxation. A
flew of it's members understand the
scientific principles on which taxes
should be based, and are DESTROYS of ap-
plying them to the relief of industry.
I Others understand taxation we'll enough
to turn it to the advantage of the favored
interests. Between them is the larger
portion of the members of both Houses
Ewho either do not know, or who are
swilling to barter their votes in return
for petty advantages in their local dis
atricts. These members should be i'm
pressed in no uncertain terms with their
present opportunity and responsibility:
Manufacturers, bankers, merchants and
Others with interests at stake have been
quick to let their representatives know
their wishes by letters, kilograms, and
personal delegations. Similar work
Should be done by laborers and farmers.
The Ways and Means Committee that
is framing the new revenue bill has
done some good work in increasing the
taxes on super incomes, inheritances,
ard war profits; but it can do more if
pressure is brought to. bear. And it
may, if not carefully watched by the
voters, do much mischief by resorting
to taxes on industry and consumption,
both of which fall in undue proportion
on the poor. The proposal to tax all
sales is most unjust to persons OF small
incomes, yet it is Of kin5with the pro-
tective, tariff and may be adopted it
Che people sleep on their rights: The
Committee thus far has signally failed
to grasp the opportunity for taxing idle
land, thereby obtaining needed revenue,
and at the same time forcing land into
use. - ~' H'<'~@> -~1 ,''*.,.'-& -. Il. ~ !
II But no matter how good bill the
Ways and Means Committee may re-
port it must run the gauntlet of the
House and Senate where, unless public
opinion is sufh ciently strong on the side
Of the people, it will be emasculated.
Besides, the utmost that the present
Congress can be got to do will be but a
step on the way to equitable conditions;

in all likelihood, be greater than this one
Now is the time for labor to catechise
candidates and pledge them to right
performance. Bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers, and others with special IN
terests are doing their part, but they have
mot enough votes to elect single Con
gresham in any district in the United
States without the support OF labor.
1t is no excuse to say labor cannot
exercise it's full strength because it is
unable to unite upon policy. If its
members cannot agree Congress cannot

In recent issue of the Martin County
Daily Independent, Col. J. A. Everett
discusses the wet and dry issue in such
fair-minded way that we feel that We
should give him space in the Review
He says in part: ,..s~.s,E.,.-..- i
81 have always been unfortunate in
mot being able to agree with the ex-
tremists of either side Of the contro-
versy. To my mind they are both un-
reasonable, not to say cranks. Both
sides are right and both sides are wrong,
and both sides are apt to regard pro-
hibition and temperance as synonymous
terms. The principle of prohibition
to my mind, is absolutely wrong as it
attempts to say what men shall eat and
drink, thus interfering with personal
liberty. But in seeing the evil Of the
American saloon and trying to suppress
it, as matter Of policy, they are absolute
ly right. -
"The other side is wrong in defending
the saloon as it has been conducted,
but right in demanding the right to
personal use of Intoxicating liquor as
long as it does not interfere with the
rights of others. I believe to abolish
the saloon of the present day would be
a benefit to the whole state and there
fore justified, but when they go so far
as to say that one cannot keep liquor in
his own house, for his own use, they 60
too far, and that is just what the SUBJ
stitutional amendment to be submitted
to the voters in November proposes to
do. 1t seems to be impossible for the
extremists on either side of this question
to be reasonable. They will not consider
any view but theirs and are so carried
away that they cannot recognize the
truth when it is right before their eyes.
,'..To hear prohibitionist talk, you
would think that all the money paid
for booze was destroyed, burned up
and lost to the community, when ev-
cry one knows that it is still here and
nobody is any poorer except the man
who spent it.
"Our Allies who have been in the
war much longer than we have, have
not seen fit to abolish liquor, and it
is barely possible that we have some
thing to learn from them on this sub
ject. France is held up to the world
as a shining example of frugality and
yet the French people are great wine
drinkers. 80
Germany, our great enemy, is a
great consumer of beer and yet it is
noted for it's efficiency. All these things
cause me to wonder if there is not some
middle ground between the two ex-
tremes that would be more generally
satisfactory than any course that we
have yet pursued. Our best young men
are going to France in great numbers.
There will likely be three or four million
of them there before the war is over.
''They will see a lot of the world
and become broader minded for their
experiences.
"They will learn that even foreign
ers are human and that human ma
ture is about the sam e all over the
world, only modifed by education
and environment. All this will make
them more charitable to the views Of
others and give them a view of hui
manity that they never could have &C
quired at home.

Pickle Harvest Is On

Pickles are coming in at lively
rate at the Heinz safting station in
Ordway and 1t is estimated that there
will be between 300 and 400 tons of
pickles put up this season. The crop
at Sugar City and Crowley is being
hauled on trucks to Ordway from
the receiving stations at those places.
The pickle output last season was
approximately 200 tons and the pro-
duction this season will run almost
double that because of the increased
number OF growers and smaller acre
ages. This season there are but two
growers who have up to three acres.
the balance being one and two acres.
The harvest this season started July
Is. when a few deliveries were made
and the receipts were light up until
the past few days.

Oil Test to Be
Made In County
.pnehln Chieftain


C. l.. Maydwell, of Ordway, was in
the city yesterday and reports that
the Ordway Gas and Oil company will
sDud In its first well on Saturday,
August 3. This company owns and
controls 1000 acres of land nine miles
north of Ordway, and Mr.. Maydwell
says that while his company is con-
fident of striking oil in one OF the
three wells they are going to drill-it
not in all of them. they are sure OF
one thing-namely that they VIII
strike the big artesian flow of water
underlying all of that section. and
the three wells they will drill will
give them enough water to frrigate
$500 acres of the 1000 acres of the
land they own, and whether oil Is
struck or not the water will pay the
company well for the expense of drill
ing The Ordway Gas & OIL company
are working under the advice of one
of the best known biologists in the
west, and are prepared to go down
1000 feet in their test of the Ordway
district for OIL
At Eads it is reported that the
Allied Oil & Refining Co.. undoubted--
IL had oil at 500 feet when they quit
drilling. but it is thought they are in
a. stray sand, as they expected to go
much deeper before striking oil when
they began drilling. One report from
there is that the Allied people had
four barrel well when they quit drill
Ing. and the same report says that 1t
is the intention of the company to
shoot the well as soon as the neces-
sary material for that purpose can be
secured, and the geologist who is
directing the operations of the Allied
company is confident the well will
develop to 100 barrels daily when it
ia shot.
There is great deal of oil excite
ment down the valley. and the people
there are confident that big flow of
oil will be struck soon in some of the
various wells being drilled. there be-
ing several wells In course of drilling
in other parts of the valley east of
Pueblo besides those here mentioned.

BLAMES MARKET CO
FOR HIGH COST OF
+ LIVING IN CAPITAL

THE Washington Market Company
is the principal source OF the high
cost Of living in Washington. Why
doesn't the Senate go ahead and pass
the bill the House has already passed
to take over the market company's
property"
This was the utterance Of Chairman
Ben johnson, of the House District
Committee today, in discussing some
of the District measures which are
now held up in one house or the
other.
Mr.. johnson said two bTTls which
ought by all means to be passed were
the market bill and the bill for a
stricter system OF weights and meas
ures.
THE landlords in and out Of the
Senate are not only blocking the anti
profiteering bill, but they are delay
ing the market bill and the weights
and measures bill Both are i'm
portant.
"The high cost Of living here is
chiefly due to the lack of proper
market system. The Washington Mar =
ket Company Is the principal source
of the trouble. Big storage and pack
ing companies have space in the mar
ket and they dictate what this little
fellow and that one shall sell and not
sell. And the little fellows have to
do as they are told. Otherwise, they
will be frozen out Of business"

"DOLLAR7A-YEAR"
MAN JOINS ARMY;
GETS $3.50 RAISE

CAMP MEADE, Nd. July 1s.-one
man gave up work for the Govern
ment to join the army and found his
army pay here larger than his Gov
ernment pay in Washington
The man was James Waldo. who
was employed" by the Government
at 81 a year in connection with a
study OF mining conditions. Instead
of a dollar a year he will receive as
a private in the Twenty-third Engi-
neers $500 a year. 1t is clear, how
ever, that he did not come here from
Washington merely for the raise. He
does not need the 81 or the $500
either, very much. as he has made a
success of his career already as a
mining expert
Waldo is one of the many other
men Of large means who have Joined
this and other mining regiments just
because they wanted to put their eN-
pert knowledge at the disposal OF the
Government in the war. Many gave
up large salaries and large fees as
consulting experts. Waldo only re-
manned in Washington long enough
to feel convinced that he could be
more useful in the army than as a
voluntary adviser
