VALUES
DOUBLED Up

Sitting as a Board of Equalization
the Board OF Supervisors, today made
an order doubling the assessed value
of al! property subject to county tax
alton in Imperial county. This means
that the grand totai OF the assess

As a result of this action there
will be some increase in personal pro-
perty tax collections. On the roll as
it now stands every person who has
made a return of less than 500 is
exempt from taxation. TIE doubling
up of valuations will impose small
tax upon these people except where
the return is less than $50 on the roll
and will impose considerable addition

due to the report that the supervis-
ors intended to increase valuations.

SEN. POMERENE
TALKS IN FAVOR
Of PEACE TREATY

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Pomerene of Ohio, today addressed
the Senate in favor of ratification of
the Peace Treaty, without reserva
tions. He said he would not find fault
with some of the proposed reservations
if it were not for the fact that they
would cause dely and consequent en-
courag cement to revolutionary ele-
ments. He pointed out that the rev.
olutionary spirit was rife not only in
Eastern Europe but to some extent
among the allied nations and there
fore the restoration Of peace was vi
tai. 1t would be necessary he said
in order to keep Germany, Austria,
Bulgary and Turkey within the limi-
tation of their boundaries for the
United States to stand on guard for
two years or more; that under the
provisions of the treaty the UniteS
States has the power to withdraw i'll
two years He denied that the League
of Nations involved us in entanglng
alliances asserting that the League
was for defensive purposes only.

Splendid work is being done along
the lines Of teaching the value Of
milk as an indispensable food by our
own and other councils. The fats of
plants and animals have been recent
ly proved to be lacking in health
maintaining constituents but milk
contains them. These new found bod
les are called "vitamins." When a
mother substitutes other fats for but
ter fats she is robbing her child of
the chance to win out in life's race.
These dairy councils are aiming to
aid producers in matters of cleanli-
ness, greater economy of production
and to bring about understandings
between all concerned from the milk
ers to the user of the fruits Of the
pail.
Mr.. Green says of the present milk
situation, that the council does not
desire to see the price of milk and
milk products increased, but wants
them to be maintained at only such a
price as will encourage production

Some Plain Facts for the
Dairyman
FRANK PELTRET

We, Americans excel all 9TH
er nations in busines initiative
willingness to take long chances
on new things. AS a result we
have more business failures than
any other nation. There was q
time when the percentage of rev
enterprisea that failed was %
per cent. 1t is not so high now but
it is said to be above 80 per cent.
#:.:.:
The notable success of Stan
dard Oil fired the imagination of
American business men, 25 years
ago and as a result all kinds Of
would-be trusts sprang up like
toadstools after spring rain.
Hundreds of owners of success
full business enterprises were
"buffaloed" into selling them for
a small amount Cf cash and
larger amount of stock. Wise
ones got all their business was
worth in cash. Great banking
houses put out literature that
read like the advertisement of
of d fake-mine promoter. The
public became convinced by this
eXtravagant press stuff that
trusts would put all their COM
pettors out of business and
would bring to an end the opera
tion of the natural law of supply
and demand.
Most ef these would-be trusts
went on the rocks passing into
the hands of their creditors dur
ing one of the most prosperous
periods Of our countrys history.
Considered as a class they were
as a fat man in a circus side
show. They made awesome ap-
pearance in the business ring but
when it came to business show
down they made a worse showing
than did Willard against Demp-
sey.
Banker Henderson's invitation
to the dairymen of California to
come into his trust-parlor reads
in the largeness of its promise
like the circulars which were is
sued by the trust organizers in
those palmy days of trust PRO-
motion and Allison Peck's state
mten as to the manufacturing
cost of butter is sad proof of the
difference between promise and
reality. There has been no ans
wer to Mr.. Peck's statement, no
contradiction that the Association
cost of manufacture is $3.75
against manufacturing cost of
from S1.55 to S1.65 in the old
Delta Creamery. All that has
been said is the expression of a
disbelief that Mr.. Peck has been
quoted correctly, in his prediction
of busines failure for the Asso-
citation unless it mends it ways
and an expression of regret that
so good a friend of cooperation
as Mr. Peck should say such
things. A true friend is one who
tells necessary truth. A false
friend is one who conceals the
truth in a lying promise.
