ARGENTINE HAS
RED CLEANUP
Police Gathered in Communists
on Night Before General
Reign of Terror Was Set.

Buenos Aires, May 2.-How the po-
lice of Argentina, before the date set
for the Communist revolution" in COM
bination with the recent general strike
here, outwitted the Reds and prevented
the uprising has just been revealed to
The Associated Press correspondent.
Radical elements, mostly of foreign
extraction, had planned the reign of
terror for the same day on which the
Kapp revolution in Germany began.
If the ambitious plans of the COM
munists for murder and pillage had
part Of labor organization known as
succeeded, the city would have been
in control of a government OF the Boil
shevik soviet variety, backed by a
Red army.
The police, who had learned of the
plot long in advance, however, on the
night before the revolution was to take
place, descended upon the communist
resorts, arrested nearly 200 men and
women and confiscated several ar
senals of bombs, arms and ammunition,
together with large quantities of an
archistic literature.
The communists, it is alleged, formed
detectives among the communists, some
of whom joined their organization and
actually helped to manufacture the
bombs with which the reign of terror
was to be started. They also obtained
secret circulars giving instruction as
to how the revolution was to be ac-
compiished.
The government, it developed, sent
The Fifth Congress of Anarchism"
which some time ago separated from
the Argentine Federation of Labor and
which is supposed to control a number
of unions.
Instructions had been issued by the
communists fixing the date of the
revolution for Saturday afternoon,
March Is. Groups were assigned to
destroy public services, electric lights
and water plants, railroads, telephones
and telegraphs and others were as
signed to explode bombs in public
places, seize military stores and as
sassinate judges and police officers.
The plotters planned to place the city
under control of a Central Soviet Com
Being fully aware of all these plans,
the government authorities on the night
before the date set for the revolution
stationed troops at all places threat
ened. The police then raided the COM
munist plants and captured a complete
bomb factory and a large assortment
of arms and ammUhition.

They make this more specific by
saying that he is man VINO, accord

in it. The stock was then traded in on
the curb market and even sold at auc-

Ryan's minimum profit is s874.500. This
supposes that all the stock sold short

CnwelcOme Announcement Regarding
Fertilizers

Messrs. Steward & Smiley are in
receipt of unwelcome news from the
American Agricultural Chemical
Company in regard to shipment of
fertilizer the letter being in substance
as follows That. owing TO various
reasons over which the company has
no control, it is doubtful whether the
goods ordered viii reach here in time
to be used before planting, though
the orders of the local firm will be
shipped in their proper turn.
The company offers as a suggestion
that owing to the scarcity Of fertilizer
this year larger amount will be
used after planting than ever before.
and says that in many cases such af
ter-applications prove satisfactory if
the weather is not very dry.
From one-third to one-ha1f of the
shipping season has been lost from
causes beyond the eompany's control
January shipments were held up by
Il strike of Boston freight handlers.
and he storms of February and early
March prevented shipments for a
month Owing to the ruling Of the
Maine Commissioner of Agriculture in
regard to fertilizers. no goods could
be shipped here in December and
January. Scarcity Of labor has pre-
vented running the works to full ca
pacity Car shortages have bothered
somewhat. though the railroads have
given the fertilizer industry prefer
entail treatment.

RESULT OF SINGLE TAX.

western states, the Hillsboro, Oregon
Independent says:
"1f the land is required to bear the
entire burden of taxation land owner
ship will become too expensive to b,
desirable. Owners will be unable ia
meet the heavy tax and when their
holdings are sold for unpaid taxes NO
bidders will appear, the counties must
bid them in as an alternative and auto.

proposition to advance to a man who
has toiled and denied himself in order
to purchase farm that will make him

WHAT STATE SOCIALISM COSTS

The Non Partisan League program of
State Socialism costs the taxpayers
good money, whatever it may do for
them.
Here is the report of farmer who
owns the N.E.A and the s.W.1 of Sec
tion IS, township LAG, range 6s, Wells
county, North Dakota:
The taxes on my farm near Sykes
ton were increased in single year from
$5s.24 to $203.9O when the Non PARTS
ans came into power. Its value is less,
can t sell it, and / can hardly borrow
anything at all on it.
"In 1915 the taxes were $51.65. In
1916 they were $55.5S. In 1917 they
were 1920. In 1919 they were $5s.24.
Then the Non -Partisans came into pow
er, with their promise to save money
foI the farmers. Well, the first year
my taxes on this same property were
*2o3.90, exclusive of personal taxes.
"It wouldn' u have been so bad had
they used the money for other than
propaganda for political purposes. But
there hasn't been one single stroke Of
work done on public Improvement, in
my vicinity.
Gland values in other states have
been increasing steadily. The value Of
my farm has gone down. ] tried to
get $4,000 loan on it, but it was
three months before it could be arrapg
ed. And the farm was easily worth
t3O, 900.
"Thcn I tried to sell it. asked 800
an acre for it--iust what I had paid
fifteen years before, plus the actual
cost Of Improvements. I've never even
gotten an offer. That's what the Non
Partisan League did for me.'
This same North Dakota organization
is seeking to gain control of various
western states at coming election.
