EXCESS PROFIT TAXES.

Theoretically the excess profit
taxes collected during the war pc
Rod have seemed to be in fair
way of making wealth bear the
heavy burdens Of the war. But
actually taxation has a way of fall
ing mostly upon the ultimate con-
sumner Probably the majority of
producers are now simply marking
up prices enough to give them the
same profit they took before the
excess profits tax was imposed.
If this is the way it works, the
excess tax does not accomplish its
purpose. 1t is one more tendency
working for initiation and exagger-
ated prices. .stsl

goodly part of its products, a eer-
tain number of Englishmen are con-
stitutionally or otherwise unable
to perceive anything but high
prices for what they buy and they
want to know what the profiteering
authorities have done with re-
port on British trusts and a report
on the British manufacture of wool,
said to show profits from four to
thirty -four times the profits allow
ed during the war, and other
things. In fine, the officials who
have in their charge the British law
against profiteering are having
anything but a dull time.

Communication
Santa re, February 2S, 1920,
Editor of the Morning Journal,
Albn0ueraue. N. NJ.

Editor of the Morning Journal,
Albuquerque, N, NJ.
Dear Sir: In your editorial
Faulty Real Estate Taxation"
you gave credit to. the Taxpayers
association, which should be given
to the state tax commission. The
table to which you refer is the re-
suit of one of the most important
investigations that has as yet been
made and the state tax commits
sion should be congratulated upon
results. II The figures given should
nave very stimulating effect in
getting higher valuations.
| would like to express apprecia =
ton of the point made in your edi-
torial of Thursdays Journal with
reference to road construction. It
seems to me that if we can get up
on a sensible basis and plan for
public improvements upon less
expensive scale than we are at
present attempting, we will see a
very substantial reduction in the
cost of labor and materials. The
present remarkable efforts to ac-
complish tremendous programs of
road building and municipal inn
provements makes an extremely
difficult situation for all agencies
engaged in production. The nation,
the city, the counties and states are
competing with private enterprises
and, with unlimited funds are able
to divert materials and labor to
public improvements. 1t seems to
me, therefore, that your sugges-
ton is very much to- the point and
is in line with what l hope will be
a saner and more business-like at
titude on the part of our admins
trative officials.
Very truly yours,
RUPERT f. ASPLUND,
Director.

THE MYSTERY OF CAHJsrx

1T may be that ex-Premier Gail

racy against his country curing the

difficult to understand why he has
not long before this been stood

reports from abroad are that his
conviction is very doubtful. How
51s is it possible to reconcile these cnn-
fradietions with the demonstrated
rse9 patriotic feryor of the French
people?
IT is all very well to explain that
during his 20 years in politics
mostly IN nigh governmental posi-
tlons, he built up a political ma
chine which in self-protection must
nr stuck by him. That may be tho ex-
ms 9planation, but it is a very serious
reflection on the patriotism of
pa many of the foremost statesmen
OF France. The only other plausi-
aa.- Die theory is that. now the war
frenzy is past and war propaganda

litical enemies.

chiefly opposing the policies of his
political rivals, if he was merely a
pacifist instead of pro-German, if

be well grounded by a business

PROTITEERING IN ENGLAND.


Profiteering arising out of cor
nering or other unfair advantage
and ordinary trade profits are be-
ing distinguished in England by the
authorities who proceed under the
profiteering law. This is perhaps
natural when an industry like Brit
ish cotton manufacturing is under
review; for rs per cent of Lanca-
shire's product of fine cotton goods
is exported, and export trade is now
England's greatest national asset.
But the profiteering authorities
have come in for a lot of trouble.
1t is not everybody who can I'M
derstand the philosophy Of the sit
uation. Accordingly, although

may be to charge the. rest of the

OFFICIAL EXPLAINS
 CITY ASSESSMENTS

Because Of general misunderstand- Ing concerning assumption of city inn proFement assessments following a transfer or division of city property. details of all requirements have been outlined by City Engineer Hitchcock. as follows
 Whenever the city commission or der plans drawn for the improvement py paving of certain streets. notice thereof is given to the public by pub- lication in the daily paper and by posting notices for fifteen days along the street which is to be improved These notices also outline the district and describe the property which is to De assessed to pay the costs of this proposed improvement. If your prop erty Is located within the boundaries Of the described district which is to De assessed for said improvement it will be greatly to your advantage to ascertain whether or not the record of your ownership is on file in the office Of the county recorder.
 Your attention is respectfuIIv called to the fact that improvement and paw ing liens as provided for in the Inn provement Act of 1912, with subse quent amendments, exist against prop erty and not owners; that from and after the date of the recording of any warrant or assessment all owners or other persons interested in the work provided for shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of the record thereof.
 If you are the owner of one or more lots or parcels of ground located within the boundaries of the district which Is to be assessed for a certain

improvement and have in any way changed or resubdivided your hold ings so that the boundaries thereof are different from those shown on the recorded plats, and if any of such resubdivisions have been sold under contracts and the title to such prop erty still stands in your name, then in either event it will be greatly to your advantage to so advise the office of the city engineer so that assessments may be made in accordance with such changes.
 After assessment warrants have been made and the work completed and bonds issued to cover the cost of improvement the sale of any land in the district involved will not change the division of the assessments.
 Although very difficult and labor ious the reapportionment of assess ments on bonds for improved work may be made by filing with the city clerk:
 CD the bond with coupons attached; CD a sworn statement of the bond owners that they consent to the divi- sion, stating the separate amounts; (3) a written request of owners that such division be made, and (4) a cer- tificate of the seacher of records that the persons desiring the division are the owners or those having interest in the land.'

Fl. PASO, Tex, Feb 1.-Counter- propaganda, designed to offset the ef = fedts of radical agitation: Americani- - zation of aliens desiring to become citizens; deportation of foreigners who show themselves unable to asSimila te such Americanization. and universal military training of from four to six months for American youths, were urged by General John J. Pershing, commander-in-c chief of the American expeditionary forces, in an address de- livered before 5000 persons here to- night.
 General Pershing's address. which was given public reception, tributes from a grateful city. which, because of his previous service here. claimed him as an adopted son.
 We must resolve to put down all tendencies toward anarchy, revolution and bolshevism. One of the best ways to do this is by educating foreigners in fthe English language and in our way of regarding American institu tions.''
 Immediately preceding the reception General Pershing was the guest of a banquet at hotel, rendered under the auspices of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce. The general made a brief talk in which he praised the morality of the American soldier and the tender encouragement given to him by the American women

handicap plans as the race between New York ana San Francisco last year.
 From Mineola to Minot, N D., a distance of 1873 miles, the route will lie over United States territory. At North Gate, N. D., the course crosses the international border into Sas- katchewan, Canada, and continues 1900 miles across the dominion to Fort Egg bert on the Alaskan border.
 In Canada the course lies along the New Grand Trunk Pacific railroad, running from Edmonton, Alberta, to Prince Rupert, B. c. At Hazelton, B. C., the proposed route branches north between the coast range and the Rocky mountains, following the valleys which are the most populated. This route is, covered by the only telegraph line and is the most favorable from the supply point of view.
 In Alaska the route runs from Fort Yukon to Fairbanks by way of Fort Gibson. thence to Nulato and Nome.
 Compulsory stops will be arranged at an average of every 150 miles. Only qualified aviators will be allowed to enter and their machines will be ex- amined at each stop before being al- lowed to proceed. Detailed plans will be announced later.
