STOCkMEN MEET

The San Luis Valley Live
Stock Assn met in regular ses-
sion at the City Hall. Monte
Vista. May tenth, 1920.
There are now belonging to
the Association one hundred
and forty-two members, fifty
four of whom joined through
local organizations and eighty
eight who joined directly.
AS an organization of farm
ers and stockmen, the Associa-
ton voted resolutions to be pre-
pared and sent by the Secre-
tary to our Congressman, op-
posing the holland Bill. This
Bill provides for an excise tax
on farms or lands having n
greater value than ten thous-
and dollars, a tax Of one per
cent. being levied on the ex-
cess.
The resolution reads as fol
lows:
Whereas, the farmer is to-
day paying his just proportion
of taxes, and additional taxes
would in our judgement seri-
ously curtail production; and
Whereas, practically every
owner of land in the San Luis
Valley would be subject to this
excise tax. were this Bill to be-
come n law; and
Whereas, this Bill does not
consider an owners equity in
his land. therefore be it
Resolved by this San Luis
Valley Live Stock Association
that Congress be urged thru
our representative and sena-
tors to use their utmost power
in trying to defeat the holland
Bill, referred to as H. r.
1887.
Mr.. C. r. Ewing, Sec. of the
Twin Mountain Live Stock AS

enting around twenty members

city Nay Get Drydock
to Hold Large Craft
Continued From Page One

Continued From Page One
should possess no adequate facilities for
the docking and repair OF vessels beyond
a privately owned craving dock which
is not available for vessels Of the larger
modern type.
The argument has been advanced that
one such dock is ample for the demands
of the port If this is true, then IL is
because ship owners and ship masters
understand that New York and other
ports will accommodate them because
Philadelphia cannot.
If this port is to be placed on a COM
petitive basis with other maritime cen
tiers Nof this country, it is imperative that
this subject receive immediate attention.
We must have dr. docks, vast. modern
and capable of accommodating the
largest vessels that come up the Dela-
ware. It is one of the insistent de-
mands that will be made upon Mayor
Moore's administration. Lack of dry.
dock advantages has been one Of the
greatest bandicaps to the port, and the
situation has become more acute as the
fleets approaching our doors increase in
number and in the size Of the vessels.
Shortly after our entrance into the
world war this matter Of drydocks
claimed the attention of the maritime
and other commercial bodies Of the city.
The early construction by the United
States shipping board of a series Of ma
rine railways and drydocks was urged.
Wars Effect Unforeseen
The war as it was to effect this coun-
ry had not been visualized. In the peti.
tion.of these bodies to the shipping board
four drydocks were specified 1850 or
more feet in length" It is now evident
that drydocks under $50 feet minimum
will only partly serve the present ocean
trade.
The demand is for one or more of at
least 700 feet in length. Philadelphia
has been driving shipping from her doors
through failure to provide drydock ac-
commodation. This IL what one of the
reatest authorities on this subject in the
country says:
"Charterers Of vessels in tropical
ports, md particularly in the Java dis
tricts, Testify how difficult it sometimes
is in normal times to get owners to con-
sent to their craft coming to Philadel-
phia except at increase rates of freight.
They are invariably required. upon the
discharge of their cargoes, to suffer de-
lays in securing drydock facilities, or
are forced to go to other ports to be
docked,, scraped and painted"
Along the water front the curious
seeker after information need not go
far afield for instances of damaged
vessels having to be conveyed to other
ports to be drydocked and repaired.
The irony of the situation applicable
to Philadelphia is that the greatest
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-03-06

the ridiculous when we discover further
that Spezie, Italy, has eight drydocks
with maximum Of 702 feet. Hull,
England, has eighteen drydocks, where
ships up to 800. feet in length. can be
docked and repaired, while Belfast has
five, with O maximum for ships of $50.
II the proposed new drydock Is built
Philadelphia will have taken another
great step forward.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-03-06

shipbuilding center In the world is
utterly lacking in drydocks.
In a recent discussion on the sub
ject it was claimed that Philadelphia
had drydocks adequate to its immediate
needs The contention is by no means
sustained. Modern ships engaged in
the transatlantic or South American
trades must go elsewhere.
1t is only necessary to recall how
maritime centers of Europe are pro-
