Outline of Plan.

Following is an abstract in sum-
mary form of the broad outlines of
the scheme:
First of all the levy will exact from
5 to 65 per cent of all personal prop
erty in sliding scale. 1t is expected
to realize 90,000.000.00o marks (s22.
100000 00). Properties under 5000
marks (s1,250) are exempted. Cor
porations of all kinds, namely. joint
stock companies. limited companies.
mutual insurance companies and the
like will pay only 10 per cent be-
cause of the double burden that
would fan upon their shareholders.
who will be levied upon personally
as individuals. The mode of pay
ment will be rather complicated. 1t
Will be kind of mortgage TO he
paid off within thirty years and
based upon a per cent amortization
scheme. Against any such mortgage
securities will have to be deposited
with the state. The capital levy will
be recorded from January l. 1920.
and the first installment is to be
paid October 1 I'm that year. 1t can
be paid in installments or at once.
Those who pay at nce-and it is
hoped they will be numerous-can
pay in war loan stocks and will be
credited with the interest due in
part payment Landed property will
be based upon fifty-year mort
gage scheme. The property to he
levied upon will cover everything
Even private furniture, diamonds,
jewelry and plate.

Rebels Laying Down Arms.

The ambassador said that bandits
and rebels in all parts of the country
were laying down their arms and re-
turning TO their homes to till the land
To aid in that movement. he said. the
government was distributing trainloads
of agricultural implements.
Mexico's first duty. the ambassador
asserted, was to put down instructions.
and for that reason. large sums OF
money were being spent in pacificatfon,
That work, he said. was slow, mainly
because the government could not OBJ
tain sufficient arms and ammunition.
He announced that he would request
the United States government to per-
nit the importation of more munitions
TO he used in wiping out the rebels and
bandits and in protecting the lives OF
nationals and foreigners alike.
When the pacification of Mexico
had been accomplished, he said, the
revenue now devoted to that end
would be used toward paving off the
interest on the foreign debt.
Pacifcation First Duty.
Mexico has never and never will
repudate her debt" he said. "She
should not be expected now to COM
ply with her international obligations
when her first duty Is pacification OF
the country. Mexico has no fear at
all of any unjust aggression from
its neighbors. She hopes they will ap-
preciate the efforts she is making to
set her house in order"
Regarding the exclusion OF Mexico
from the league of nations. he said
the Mexican people felt they had
been very unjustly dealt with. but
harbored no ill-will. Mexico hopes, he
said. the time will come when she
will be invited to join the league:

Ever since the November revolution
such a levy has been looked upon as

off the war debt. In the second place.
II has been looked upon as the only
just way of compensating the mass
of the people for the swollen profits
Tor which they have been hled. and
In the third place, as the greatest in
strument for levelinE the social and

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Much concern among the hog pro-
ducers has been experienced during
the past few years in relation to the
pork production problems. Grain
prices were high and it was difficult
to see what the outcome would be.
Farmers over the entire nation were
loyal to their country and continued
production in the face of the handi-
caps.
Last spring there were great num-
ber of feeder hogs sold from this val
ley and as result we are somewhat
low on hog population. 1t is a question
of the balancing of the industries,
when we decide on whether or not to
sell any hogs other than fat ones
Some localities can make money by
raising feeder hogs with the farmers
of this valley, we are not raising
enough hogs to afford to sell the feed
ers. Take the population of possibly
10000 hogs on the Uncompahgre pro-
ject in a normal year. They should
all be finished for market, rather than
sent out in a half fat condition. The
reason for this is that we have as
high of 1900 acres of wheat, 5000
acresof potatoes and a large acreage
of fruit, all of which furnishes waste
feeds, that are lost unless fed to the
hogs. There is a general tendency
among the local farmers to raise only
the number of hogs on their farms to
fit in with their system of farming
This is as it should be, not every farm
er is fixed to raise a carload of hogs
in year, but every farmer can keep
from one to four brood sows and raise
pigs from them and swell his yearly
farm returns a great deal.
The outlook for the price of pork is
excellent The United States has more
than normal population of hogs, but
the world supply is short. The demand
for the pork and lard overseas is keep
ing our exports up at an increasing
date. Lard is being used as butter
by many of the people overseas. High
priced stock for breeding will tend to
keep down an overproduction for some
time. For this reason the outlook for
continued high prices in pork is en-
couraging to the producer. Grain at
three cents per pound locally affords
pork at fifteen cents or less on dry
lot feeding. Indications are that pork
will remain at twenty-five cents or
better for at least five weeks. The
margin of profit is extremely high and
gives the hog producer the profit he
SO rightly deserves for his patriotic
service in the past.

oIathe Corn Show

The enterprising Olatheans have
again scheduled their annual Corn
Show. This time 1t will be held in
December. This should be banner
year for them as the prospects for a
corn crop in this vicinity was never
better. Farmers having corn would
do we'll to plan ON selecting sofne
samples from the field. The classes
will be announced later.
The Western Slope Fair will soon be
here. The outlook for a strong show
ing of live stock is very encouraging
Stock will come from Grand Junction,
Cedaredge, Hotchkiss, Austin and
Crawford. Some very fine hogs are
coming from Paonia and also some
Holsteins.
