Values in Farm Lands
Continue to Advance
AsRecent Sales Show

Two sales in farm lands recent
ly announced by R. W. Parker, of
Madison, Ca, point to the fact that
values in farm lands mot only have
been maintained, but have advanced
in the past few weeks over wha t
was considered the crest of farm
land trading back in the summer
months.
The let-up in sales was attributed
by some to the invasion of the boil
weevil, together with various other
reasons for the decline in business
in this branch of the real estate field.
After the immense volume of bust
ness done in June and July this
decrease was pronounced and made
itself felt throughout this entire Sec
ton of the country.
Those sales by Mr.. Parker will
have a decided tendency towards
establishing and renewing confidence
in farm land values, because of the
fact that in both of them a price
comparison is presented. One of
them, a parcel of 175 acres in the
middle section of the state, was
sold at the crest of high summer
prices for $175 per acre. The same
Parcel was resold last week for
$3.50 per acre, an increase of $3.50
per acre. A ninety-six-acre tract
in the suburbs of Madison, Ga, was
sold during the summer by Mr.. Park
re for $4,000. Last week a deal
was contaminated whereby this place
passed into the hands of the Fears
family for consideration of $4,000,
at a profit of $4,000.
Confidence in real estate trading
over the state lapsed for some time
after the immediate decline in prices.
These sales of the past week will
have a tendance towards building up
in the minds of farm land owners
the fact that there is still a market

Fight in Congress Is
Forecast on Changes
In Revenue Legislation

WASHINGTON, Dee. "A new
contest between the Democratic adj
ministre ton and the Republican con-
gress over revision of revenue laws
was apparently approaching today.
( Both administration and congress
sional leaders agree there must be
revision to meet record peace-time
expenditures but agreement ends
there.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass.
backed by President Wilson, wants
a revision started at once. Repub-
lican leaders say it will not be done
at this session of congress.
Mr. Glass, again backed by the
president, wants excess profits taxes
abolished and an increase in the
normal income tax rate and the SUR
tax rate on intermediate incomes.
Republican leaders say they are
doubtful about raising sufficient rev.
enue if this is done.
The president in his message to
congress came out strongly against
tariff legislation. Congressional lead
ers say a new tariff should be en-
acted although they doubt the ad-
visibility of doing this, knowing the
president would veto the bill.
Wants Advance Action
The revenue bill for 1920 was en-
acted at the last session of the sixty
fifth congress. Mr.. Glass contends
that the present session should frame
a bill for 1921 so that business will
know in advance what taxes it will
have to pay and the government can
prepare it's machinery for tax col
lection.
There will be no general revision
at this session." said Representative
Longworth, Ohio, a member Of the
house ways and means committee,
today
There is a tradition that the party
which frames revenue measure just
before election fares badly at the
hands of the voters, but congEes-
sional leaders deny they have this
possibility in mind in delaying.
Mr. Glass in his annual report to
congress declared The excess profits
tax encourages wasteful expenditure,
puts premium on overca pitalizatio
and penalty on brains, dis
courages new ventures and confirms
old ventures in their monopolies."
He also put upon it part of the blame
for high prices.
Il do not think the ways and means
committee is likely { to follow this
suggestion" was the answer Repre-
sentative Green, Iowa, made to Sec
rotary Glass. Green, next to Chair
man Fordney. is ranking member of

u. S. Has $4,000 Men
And 2Cruisers Within
Quick Reach of Mexico

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The
United States has $4,000 men ana
two cruisers within easy striking dis
lance of Mexico, ready to go into &C
ton should hostilities follow the
threatened severance of diplomatic
relations. it was learned today al
the war and navy departments
However, no war-Iike steps have
been taken by the government. Re
ports that naval reserves had been
ordered to get ready for duty wer>'
denied at the navy department. The
war department has, of course, :,
set of upto-date plans for invasion,
by the war college as part of it's
routine work.
The $4,000 available troops are
scattered along the entire Mexican
border. A large percentage are men
attached to the aviation establish
ment, but also there are units OF
infantry, field artillery and cavalry.
In addition, there are approximately
$4,000 cavalrymen of the Texas ma
tional guard who could be called into
service. Major General Joseph L.
Dickman, who fought in the. world
war, is in command on the border.
The United States cruisers Dolphin
and Niagara are stationed in the
Gulf of Mexico, the Dolphin at
Tampico and the Niagara at Puerta
CorteZ. Three destroyers are now
going up the coast of. Central Amerl-
ca to join the Pacific fleet, while
two others are at Guantanamo about
to follow.
On account of the rapid demobill-
zation, the strength of the army in
the United States today is less than
$50, 900 men. The war department has
estimated it would take 100000
troops three years to completely
opacity" Mexico.
Secretary Daniels today denied
that any orders have been issued to
naval reserve forces throughout the
country to be ready for immediate
duty.
The only explanation that he coulo
give for the widespread report was
that recent order t othe naval re-
servists to communicate their au-
dresses to the navy department have
been confused. This order had 90 SIS,
nificance, he said.

Hays Outlines Party
Policy Of Republicans

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-No distinc
ton must be made between men and
women in politics, VIII H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, declared in a speech last
night at a banquet given by the
women's division of the national
committee and the Republican state
executive committee. Mr.. Hays said
the Republican party would offer to-
women everything offered to men.
Among other future policies of the
party he outlined were:
A national budget system.
Federal regulation, not ownership
of industries.
Aid to business and remedial legis-
lation for labor.
Strong anti-bolshevist legislation.

ADMINISTRATION
IS MARKING TIME
ON PEACE PACT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The atti-
tude of the administration today,
with regard to the peace treaty, is
an attitude of "watchful waiting"
Believing that a great popular de-
mand for ratification will come from
the country within a few weeks,
President Wilson is keeping hands
off" the present situation, waiting
for this to materialize, according to
numerous indications.
The president refrained from di-
rectly mentioning the treaty in his
message to congress, it is believed.
with the idea that further argu-
ment was useless, that opponents OF
the document would be moved only
by the wishes of their constituents.
The need for it, friends of the ad-
ministration predict, will steadily
become more apparent. They are
looking for events to convince the
people that the treaty is desirable
and that no other means Of bring
ing about official peace viii do. The
presidents silence, they assert does
not mean that he has given up the
fight, or that he is any less interest
ed in ratification than when he
toured the country appealing for it.
That he is wrapped UP in the
treaty" was the expression used by
one of his advisers in describing the
situation. He does not admit that
his coast-to-coast tour was with
out results. Mr.. Wilson is under
stood to believe that he sowed the
seeds of a great national demand
for ratification and that continued
delay will bring in a bumper crop
of requests for ratification in the
shape of communications to senators.
The administration is awaiting the
harvest.
Recommendation of Mr.. Wilson for
a third term by the state conven-
ton at Pierre, S. D., was interpreted
by the presidents supporters as the
Endorsement of the treaty, and as an
answer to the argument of those
who claim the pact is so dead the
Democrats will not want to exhume
it and make it an issue in 1920. Fur
Their Endorsements of the administra-
ton and Endorsements of candidates
who stand for ratification, are con-
fiently expected by Mr.. Wilson's
friends who construe the South Da-
hOIeS dStAOA do d p1aCCICdI Fole VI
confidence" from Democrats of that
state.
Opponents of the treaty openly
scott at the eidea that the nation
will demand ratification. They say
that if any wave Of popular senti-
ment for it were forthcoming 1t
would have been apparent early in
October, just after President Will
sons tour. Many congressman re-
turning to Washington after talk
ing to their constituents, say there
is practically no interest in the
treaty and that the people are rapid
ly forgetting it in devoting their at
tentiUn to the coal shortage and
other pressing domestic problems.

WILL CONSOLIDATE
 CANNERY OPERATIONS S

Owing to the uncertainty of condi- tons affecting the 1919 season, it has been the Judgement of the Booth Fish cries company that certain of is southeastern Alaska Canneries should consolidate their operations for this year, and with this in view it has been decided to consolidate the work of tha Santa Ana and Shakan plants at Ka saan, and of the Hunters bay and Roe Point pants at Quadra, while the fish that would otherwise go to the Seldj9- ia cannery will be canned at Kenai.
 This is regarded as only a tempo rary arrangement, and if condition, warrant the canneries thus consoli dated for 1919 will be operated aga'a in !920.
 Similar action is known to be con templatcd by one other company op- erating ir southeastern Alaska, ana there has been talk of consolidating the pack of some of the Herendeen Bay cannerieS. At the later poin. such action would probably be of cor siderable advantage, as the fish taken there during the last two seasons could have been handled easily by one cannery.
