UNITED FARMERS
PROTECT PUBLIC
American Farm Bureau
Federation Opposes
Tax Shift

BOISE.-Reports received here
: from the recent Denver meeting of
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation indi-
cate that the federation will try to
make sure that additional burdens
are not shifted from industrial in
terests to the public by contemplate
ed revision of the national taxation
laws. Decision was reached also to
create federation traffice depart
ment.
The decision on taxation followed
a review of agitation for repeal of
the excess profits tax, which takes
from corporation and other business
earnings 40 per cent of all profit
in excess of 20 per cent net profit
on investments. This tax last year
raised in excess of 20 per cent net
profit on investments. This tax last
year raised for the government al
most two billion dollars. Several
substitutes have been suggested.
The idea of the American Farm
Bureau Federation is that the big tax
burden of the country should be
borne largely by the interests most
able to pay and should not be paid
out of the living wage of the aver
age individual consumer. 1t is also

The Republican party of this state
declares itself to be in favor of aid by
congress to ex-soldiers of the world

approves of some effective legislation

citizens.
We commend the Workman's Com

is called the Chamberlain Bill and 9TH

wHITEPINE MAN SENDS
IN VIGOROUS PROTEST
Editor Of the Ncws-Champion,

Editor OF the News-Champion,
Dear sir
In your issue Of November 9Th.
you say that the proposed Alpine tun-
mel Al Shcrrod is only ( or 8 miles
from " hitcpinc. Well, so is the rail-
road al Monarch. but there Is a high
range oil mountains between Sherrod
and Whitcpine as well as between
Monarch and Whitcpine. A tunnel at
Sherrod would be Of no advantage to
this place. To take the railroad away
from the Tomichi valley would ruin
this part OF SaRuache and Gunnison
counties. y wagon road was built in
theeariy days between the old town Of
TomichI creek and ShcrrOd. or Wood
stock. rs il was then called. But so
far as ! know only one carload of coal
was hauled over II and hen il was
abandoned.
Old timers say that 10 persons were
killed by snOwslides around Tomichl
and Shcrrod in early days. On the
other hand, the proposed Monarch tun-
mel would cut atthe s1uth end of White
Pine immense iron veins which are
really the largest and best iron depos-
its IN the state. 1t would make White
Pine the largest ore shipping point in
Colorado. Not only that. but il would
develop thousands Of acres of virgin
forests on Canon Creek which are of
no use at present for lack OF transpor-
tatioH. In fact, the Monarch tunnel
would open up the most productive
part Of Guanison county, while on the
other hand tunnel under Alpine pass
would only make transportation for
coal and hay cheaper, and would open
up no new territory as Quartz creek
