OPPOSE INCOME TAX

New York-Patriotic business men
will not expand business and extend
production and at the same time pay
the government a large proportion Of
their profits and income taxes, ac-
cording to an official Of the Guaranty
Trust company, who urges repeal Of
these taxes. 1t is acknowledged that
the business man passes this tax to
the consumer and that a business
concern is apt to overestimate, rather
than underestimate its liability. In
doing this, it becomes an uninten-
tional profteer in protecting itself
from an undue usurpation Of its
earnings.

Labor Conference Decisions Summarized

the organization of industry for serv-
ice and not for profit alone.
There can not be full release of
productive energy under an autocratic
control of industry.
There must be spirit Of co-opera-
ton and mutuality between employ
ers and workers.
Collective bargaining is the first
step in the development Of our in
dustrial machinery for service.
Credit is social and should be con-
tlolIed by the government, not by
private fnanciers.
Continue government administra-
ton of railroads for at least two
years after January /, 1920, that a
thorough test Of this theory, under
normal conditions, may be made.
The attempt of reactionaries and
autocrats to classify the men and
women Of labor with those who are
not in accord with the fundamental
principles of our country was re-
sented.
There is a great community Of in
terest between all who serve the
world, and all workers, whether Of
the city OF country "have a common
path to tread and a common goal to
gain"
The above issues require the action
Of our people upon both the economic
and political field" and eve urge that
every practical action be taken by the
American Federation Of Labor, with
the cooperation of all other organized
bodies Of workers, farmers and SYM
pathetic, liberty-loving citizens OF the
United States, to carry into effect the
principles and purposes set forth in
the declarations Of this conference" "

Washington - The following are
one-sentence summaries of the more
important declarations made by the
conference of national and interna-
tional trade unions and railroad
brotherhood executives, held in this
city:
The great victories for human
freedom must not have been won IN
vain
Right to strike must be maintained
Steel trusts labor policy is auto
cratic.
The labor injunction is a revo-
lutionary measure; it violates the
federal constitution.
Government employees must be pro-
tected in their right to join A. F. Of
L. unions.
Anti-strike legislation would estab-
lsh involuntary servitude.
Federal judges should be elected
by the people; they have no constitu-
tional right to invalidate laws.
Antitrust legislation has been
used to outlaw unions and has not
protected the people against monop-
olstic outrages.
The system of fixing wages solely
on the basis Of family budgets and
bread bills was denounced.
Initiation of money and credits and
profteering manufacturers, dealers,
middle men and spectators are re
sponsible for high prices.
High prices can be reduced by the
dehation of currency, prevention OF
boarding and unfair price fixing,
Rochdale system of cooperation and
the publicity of income tax returns
and dividend declarations.

General Manager of Var

Long Stay in Wichita Falls
and It's Vicinity.
OIL PROSPECTS
IMPERIAL
The Development in Texas
Should Serve as Inspira-
ton to Those Interested in
Valley.

NJ O. King, general manager of the
Varney chain of stores, is back at his
desk after an absence of several
months. With the exception of few
days his time was spent while he
way away in Wichita Falls, Texas,
and surrounding oil fields in which he
with associates, has extensive inter
ests.
"Under the circumstances. it is diff
ficult for me to talk anything except
Gill;" he said, "and judging from what
has been going on here since l left,
could not talk anything that would De
much more interesting to the readers
Of The Press.
"No words could describe the won-
derful development in these new Tex-
as fields. 1t is the more remarkable
because the curse of several dry years
had been upon much of the territory
and those settlers who had remained
to endure the consequent hardships
were near the end of the rope when
the first well was brought in. The
romantic story told of the woman
who, when her husband wanted to sell
and move refused to sign the deed un-
til he had tried for oil is illustrative.
Biologists had pronounced against oil
but she would not deny her faith.
"Put down one WE'LL" she said to her
husband and if it come dry / will be
satisfied" The we'll that was sunk
was the well that proved the Burk-
burnett district.
Notwithstanding that lucky strike,
the geologist is right most of the
pie in the valley ar interesting them
selves in oil exploration and l hope
they will do much more of it for oil
is the great fuel of the future and the
demand for it is certain to keep pace
with the supply. 1t is, of course, an
unwise policy to pursue to spend
out expert advice, that there might be
oil. TIL geologists are learning con-
stantly more about formations in
which oil may be found and generally
speaking they are right when they in
dicate places where oil is unlikely to
be found. l hope that there will be
through going exploration for oil in
Imperial valley wherever oil experts
consider there are indications of oil
strata"

Mayor Says Efficient Work
ing of Filter Prior to Gila
River Flood Gave Faith in
Its Dependabilty.
CITY NOW OWNER
OF TWO PUMPS
Hereafter Second One VIII
Be Kept in Reserve To
Meet any Similar Future
Emergency.

"The Gila river water will not tro-
able Ell Centre again the way it has
done this year," was the assertion
made by Mayor Watkins to The Press,
today. at was our expectation that
the filter which had worked efficient
ly from the time Of it's installation
would be equal to any strain that
would be put upon it and this was
where we fell down."
'In regard to the clearing basins
the city has kept in regular employ
men to keep them in order. Our for
mer superintendent was little negli-
gent in regard to two of the basins
but that did not affect the general
condition which came from the flood
of mud that poured in upon us. Our
pump, which working eight hours a
day had been adequate was worked
twenty hours day without avail We
did our utmost to get an additional
pump but inquiries both local and in
Los Angeles were unsuccessful. Fin
ally, we were successful in finding an
old pump which would answer our re-
ouirements and we now have the two
pumps working and after the water
is entirely cleared we will keep the
second one in reserve for future
emergencies.
"The finding of the second pump
made it unnecessary to use the fire
engine for pumping purposes and the
request made som days ago when we
expected to put it to such use that all
citizens shut off their irrigation hy-
drants in the event of fire alarms is
therefore withdrawn"

GREAT WAR is NEAR MEMORY
IN GAY SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO, Bosnia, Aug. 81
Correspondence of the Associated
Press THE war seems likely soor

the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and
set the world aflame.
The summer park at Illidza is now
crowded on Sunday with holiday max
Is. The trans and trains run regu-
larly. Moving picture theaters are
open, and concerts are held from time
to time. Recently the city has been
the destination of American sailors on
leave from Adriatic ports. All visitors
in the city find an immense interest
in the wonderful Turkish quarter, with
it's quaint bazars, where one may buy
the most beautiful art goods.
Tie civil authorities at Sarajevo
are principally Bosnians and Herze-
govinans. Many Serbian officers are
seen in the city. \The Turks are as
Turkish, the Jews as Jewish and the
gypses as gypsy-like as ever. The
half hundred mosques still exist to
attract the faithful to their prayers
The Austrians and Germans still
struggle to change their colors, and
in the cafe the walters often strive at
Serbian which they speak poorly and
ask that one speak ''Deutsche."
The after-war population of Sara
jevo is G5,000. The city is the capital
of Bosnia Herzegovina. The popula-
ton of the province is divided as fol
lows: 100000 Mussulmen, 100000
Serbians, 100000 Greats. The Worship
pers of Mahomet are not necessarily
of Turkish blood; in fact most of them
are said really to be Serbian and to
speak Serbian. The true facts re-
gardng natonalties in the Balkans
cannot be easily determined.

LATEST PLAN TO RID BRITAIN
OF IRISH QUESTION
(By Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Aug. 27.-The latest pro.
posal put forward with view to set
Ting the Irish question is to have q
new convention and to make it ar
elected constituent assembly to pre-
pare and publish a detailed scheme
for Irish self government. This sug-
gestion energies from the office of
the Irish Proportional Representa-
tion society.
The last convention was nominat-
| ed body chosen by the government
and though it included many men of
representative position, the people had
no voice in its selection. The new
convention, it is urged, should give
real self determination by letting the
people choose their own representa-
| tives.
The argument that Ireland has al
ready chosen its representatives and
made them mostly Sim Fein republi-
cans is met by an examination of the
| ny VI Cilc looC SlCNlioi WIFI q
view to proving that the result great
ly exaggerated the preponderance of
the republicans.
The contention is that the only true
way to arrive at Irish opinion is by
proportional representation. 1t is sug-
gested that the new convention shoNd
consist of 105 members elected by the
existing constituencies so grouped as
to have ten members for each group,
each elector having a single transfer
able vote. The sole function Of the
convention would be to prepare a
scheme of self government.
In Sim Fein quarters the plans finds
no favor, and there is no reason to
suppose that they would officially
recognize the new convention any
more than the old one. The Ulster
party, which came into the old con-
Nention, would be hostile to the new
one. The antagonists on both eX-
.tremes "stand pat"
