Profits OF $4,000 n year on farm
products are not at all uncommon on
Iowa farms these past few years so
well informed farmers report. This Is
cited as the reason that such big prices
are being paid and so much activity
exists among live stock dealers.

and also automobiles report more cash
sales at the fair this year than In any
previous year!

viii be supported by delegations from
al over the country, according to John

1T is the idea to consolidate the
fighting forces of the country, instead
OF continuing as several different or

Americanism," Mr. Mctiiister said
Conferences are now being held by
the chieftains of all the patriotic or

Mr.. McAllister the local delegate,

broke out he enlisted from Columbus,
and after serving two, years and three
months, re-enlisted there. A short
time later, however. he was wounded
in battle, a bullet piercing his throat.

More Perth Amboy Soldiers
Return on Transports

By SpecidI Correspondent.
HOBOKEN. April 16.-Although
most of the troops in past few days
were from the middle and far west,
a few New Jersey fighters returned.
Among them were four Perth Am
boyans. They saw service in France.
The contingents on the Duca D'Aosta
and the Canopic, which came in yes
terday, fought for a few hours on Nov.
4. the day the Austrian armistice was
signed.
They worked a good old Yankee
trick on the A~ustrians, which turned
threatened defeat into victory. They
had aviators drop leaflets over the
Austrian lines along the Piave. stat
ing that a million blood-thirsty Yanks
were waiting to eat up the enemy.
Then the Yanks were marched up n
set OF roads towards the front one
day then back through a forest or I'M
der other at night, n up an
other set the next day. so on for eight
days. They thus caused Austrian avia-
tors to verify the leaflet propaganda.
The result was that when the Yanks
did attack with their three thousand
men on the morning of Nov. 4, the
Austrians with their German officers
ran like frightened sheep, so fast that
the YaSks could not keep up with
them.
The Amboyans e return thus far
this week were: Paul Tail, 361st In
fantry, company G., 500 Cortlandt
street, on the Mexican: Charles Golfer,
361st Infantry. company A, 2S5 New

ski, ZIG Gree street. on the r. l..

His testimony proved to be a highly
enlightening. entertaining and instruc-
tive talk on the current value of the
American dollar as compared to its
value in 1915, when the last appraisal
of the company's actual physical prop
erty was taken. Dear Cooley stated
that he and Professor Anderson had
worked separately in arriving at the
value of the company's physical
property and that whereas Professor
Anderson's estimate of the property
value at the present was S99,417,442,
his own was S107,140,642.
In discussing the possibility of the
price of labor n materials descend
ing in the future, Dean Cooley de-
within thirty or forty per cent of the
former prices.
The present return to the company,
he said, is the same as in 1915, and II
we are to work on the Mexican dollar
basis we will have to compute the
value on a Mexican dollar basis. You
are trying to keep this Public Service
property on an American dollar basis
he said, " but you are trying to make
it pay on a Mexican dollar basis. You
must either. have a United States or a
Mexican dollar basis before we arrive
at any set conclusions.

the price of a dollar" He spoke OF
the competition which the buss lines
are offering to the Public Service Com
pany. In closing he declared: I'VE
have not changed the value of a dollar
but we have changed the OF
value and If you give this company
their return on the value of 1915, they
will be satisfied" He also pointed
out to the board the possibility at this
tim - AE IL. RANNaV~ 800 - e.

ment was taken until 2 o'clock at the
close of Dean Cooley's testimony.

examination of Professor Henry C.
Anderson, who was associated with

praisal of the company's property, on
figures given by Professor Anderson
in appraising the company's property
at 500, 200, 600.
This cross examination was COM
pleted at 11:45 o'clock, and Dean
Cooley went on the stand to testify
regarding appraisals.
The municipalities which have
banded together to combat the fare
zone plan have engaged DIR. Delos +.

pert accountant of New York. DIR.

NEW CITY PLAN
ON AUTO TAXES
Personal Tax Will Be Collected
Here in All Cases if Present
Action MaterialiZeS

A new system of collecting a per-
sonal tax on all motor-driven vehicles
will be instituted in this city in the
near future, according to advices re-
ceived this morning from Mayor
Frank Dorsey. who is strongly v
eating the proposed idea. The mayor
in consultation with Ellsworth b.
Walker, collector of revenue, ascer-
tanned that about sixty per cent. OF
those who operate automobiles or
motorcycles have not had a tax inn
posed upon them and In this way the
city was being deprived OF money
which was justly her due.
1t has been customary in former
years to secure a list of a owners
from the state department of motor
vehicles but this year such a record
was unable to be obtained, so 1t was
decided thai some other method of
securing names of car owners must
be conceived
Mayor Dorsey has conferred with
Leo Goldberger, city attorney, con-
corning this new idea, and he learned
that the plan was perfectly feasible
from a legal standpoint.
If this policy regarding h collect
ing of evenu is adopted by the city,
tax tags will be issued every six
months and every car owner must
have one in his possession. The tags
| will be small and will be fastened on
the car in some visible place SO that
it may be discerned by all policemen
and car inspectors. II an automobile
owner neglects to provide himself
with one of these tags his car Will be
assessed and taxed at its full value.
This plan will receive the consider
alton of the aldermanic board at their
next meeting and it is expected now
that IL will be in operation so that all
cars will be taxed every six months,
commencing next october.
II is not known yet what per cent
of the valuation of the car will be
| fixed as the tax rate, but this FACTOR
will be determined by the tax assess
