NVMkS%$yES named Ra-
Ts%kEw.T leigh, for
~ ez.Ns was Sir Wal
ter Raleigh who was respOn-
sible for North Cardinals first
settlement. 1t was in 1884 that
Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony In America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established a little colony
on Roanoke island. There in
1887 was born the first Ameri-
can child of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported, and after a few years
persisted. 1t was not until over
century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
, south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company Of Huguenots from
France and greater number of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town of Newburn in 1710. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
, had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch-Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today it's population en-
titles 1t to twelve electoral votes
for president. In area it stands
I about half way among the states
with 52,426 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state
to adopt the Constitution, the
formal ratification taking place
in November, 1889. The deriva-
ton of the name Carolina, as in
the case of South Carolina, came
! from the Latin Carolus, mean
ing Charles, and was given orig
inally in honor of King Charles
TX of France and retained by
King Charles ii of England.
North Carolina is also known
. as the Old North state.

UTILITIES TO
PAY A THIRD
MORE TAXES
THAN NOW
Joint Committee Of Legisla-
ture Decides on 33 per cent
Increase. Beal Wants Ad
ValOrem Tax on Citizens.
(By United Press)

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1.-THE joint
committee of assembly and senate on
revenue and taxation had decided on
an increase of corporation taxes
amounting to 33 per cent in order to
equalize them with the taxes paid by
other property owners.
Private property, for the past four
years, has been paying a higher tax
in proportion to it's value than rail
ways, telephone and telegraph, light
and power companies and banks and
insurance companies, the coplmittee
was informed. To bring the corpor-
alton taxes uD to the taxes levied
against private property, the board
of equalization recommends 33 per
cent increase and the committee, with
a few amendments, adopted the
boards recommendation
The entire program, however, will
be brought before the senate Tues
day for consideration and predictions
have been made that it will meet de
feat The bill calling for the inc1 ease
must receive two thirds majority.
Fourteen dissenting votes would Kill
the measure and the committee would
have to start all over figuring out
some system of getting sufficient rev.
enue.
Indications that all is not satisfac-
tion were given in the committee
meeting when several committee men,
bers objected to placing any additional
taxes on the public utilities.
AssembIyman George Hume of OK
nard suggested the taxing of all mer-
chandise and real estate sales in
order to secure the revenue necessary
to run the state. He declared he had
"a measure whereby auto transporta-
ton companies, freight and passen-
ger, would be taxed Is per cent of
their gross incomes. Part of the
money could be used in maintaining
the public highways, which were being
used by the auto companies. He also
advocated plan to place a tax en-
gasoline.
Assemblyman w. F. Beal of Braw-
ley proposed restoration on an ad va
lorem tax on the citizens of the state.
Senator Walter Eden of Santa Ana
took objection to Hume's statement
that the public utilities were nearing
bankruptcy.
There are thousands of business
men in the state in the same fix" he
declared.

MRS. PEETE TO
MAKE DENIAL
OF ALL CHARGES
BETTY EADER
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-An out
line of the defense to be made by Mrs.
Louise Peete, charged with the murder
Of Jacob Denton, wealthy mining
man, whose trial will begin Wednes-
day, was made public today by Will
liam Aggeler, the acting public de-
fender, who has charge of her case.
He repudiated in toto the statement
attributed to Mrs. Peete, said to have
been made to the prosecution before
her arrest, that man friend of a
Spanish woman had killed Denton,
after Denton had shot the Spanish
woman through the shoulder, and any
and all other statements alleged to
have been made by her tending to
show any knowledge of the crime.
He said, Sin nutshell our defense is
that Mrs. Peete knows nothing of the
killing of Denton, she knows nothing
of any Spanish woman. She is per-
fectly innocent of any connection with
or knowledge of the crime and we will
stand on these facts all the way
through"

OF:JAPANESE
GOVERN
May Ask Withdrawal of
Nippon Forces From Rus

the Relations Of the Two
Powers.
(By Associated Press)

Toxic, Jan. 17.-While govern
nent officials have not made public
the text Of the American note pro-
testing at the shooting Of Lieut.. w. H
LaaPdon. chief engineer CT the United
States cruiser Albany, by a japanese
sentry at Vladivostok, it is the public
BELIEF that Washington has not only
demanded reparation, with absolute
guarantees, removing any probability
of the occurrence of similar incidents
il the future, but has also again
pointed out the wisdom of5the Japan
ese government reducing the number,
if not Withdrawing japanese troops
altogether, from country where she
possesses no sovereign rights but lit
toral one, which i dominated by her
military power.
a correspondent of the Associated
Press, who has just returned to Toxic,
from visit to many of the larger
cities Of the far east, found ONE un-
eaine everywhere regarding the rela-
tios between Japan and the United
States.
In we'll informed circles these mis-
giVngs appeared to be based upon
what is described as "Japan's resent
ment to any American policy cal
culated to cSrb Japanese expansion
in Asia" rather than upon any diff
ferences based upon the California
alien lard law question. The latter
problem it is stated, while touching
Japan's prestige and the interests of
Jananese in America, is not regarded
with the same seriousness as are
questions of Japan's vital interests
near Nippon. In diplomatic circles
here the opinion prevails that the
situation does not Justify the feeling
Of pessimism which is so noticeable
outside the borders of the japanese
empire.

TAXPAYERS ARE
DIVIDED ON
GAS BONDS
!. NJ S. HATHAWAY

Divided opinion as to the feasibility
of purchasing the gas plant by the
city Of Ell Centro, was evident at the
meeting of the executive committee
of the Taxpayers Association this
morning.
It was brought out by members of
the committee that the purchase of the
gas plant by Ell Centro was a local
matter and not one to be covered by
the entire county. With that sug-
gesion was made hat local unions"
be established in tach town to handle
the affairs of that district. The idea
was received favorably by the COM
nitteemen present, providing that
each case be referred back to the
county organization for approval
This motion was passed.
A mass meeting is to be called this
week in order that the sentiment of
the local residents and taxpayers
may be secured before action is taken
either for or against the purchase of
the gas plant.
w. f. Beal, assemblyman from
Imperial Valley was reprimanded by
Blrritt S. Allen before the associa-
tlon because of his failure to pro-
vide the taxpayers with a copy of
proposed bills to be introduced in the
state assembly. The rebuke came as
result of letter written by Beal to
George Varney, president of the Tax
payers Association and an article
published in Los Angeles paper, in
which Mr.. Beal is said to be prepar-
ing a bill for the legislature. The bill
is in reference to the calling of bond
elections for irrigation purposes.
And only persons paying taxes will
be allowed to vote and further per-
son can vote in accordance with the
amount of land or water stock he
owns in mutual water company.
Ira Aten, member of the commit
tee which called on Beal before he
left for Sacramento, stated that Mr.
Beal gave him the assurance that a
copy of every bill he submitted to
he legislature would be forwarded to
This Mr.. Beal has not done it was
said. Also in regard to the irriga-
ton bill, the clause requiring that a
certain amount of stock be controlled
~ S'AA IllbiN luUel. was luSeIleu Win
the sanction of the directors of the
Taxpayers Association.
Mr.. Allen said, 'It is the tendency
Iof politicians, and Mr. Beal has
proven himself to be somewhat of a
politician, to master the people, rather
than be mastered. A politician knows
cnly one language namely votes,
and it is our duty to show Mr.. Beal
he is not in accord with this organiza-
ton in presenting this bill as it is
drawn"
Besls letttr to tho ASSOCIATION in
cluding notice that he is also pre-
raring bill, to be known as the
County Government Bill for Imper-
ial county. He said in part: "The
bill will be presented in blanket
form and the amount of tht salaries
will not be written into the measure
until the later part of the session. |
am doing this in order that all parties
of interest in the Valley may have
proper hearing during my stay in the

PIMA COTTON.
GROWERSAsk
FOR EQUAL
RIGHTS
House Agricultural Commit
tee Urged to Regulate
Long Staple Grades to,
Give Same Protection As
Have Others.

A broad market with governmental
regulation of grades of long-staple or
Egyptian cotton grown in California
and Arizona seems nearer a reality
since the hearing before the agricul-
tural committee of the House in
Washington, on the House bill to
amend the present cotton futures law.
This bill will prescribe five grades
lof long-staple Egyptian or Pima cot
ton and provide for delivery of three
grades. Following the hearing. X. NJ.
Turner of Los Angeles, treasurer of
the Pacific Cotton Exchange, who ap-
with the California and Arizona sena-
tors and had assurance that the bill
would have enthusiastic support when
it comes to that body.
Congressman Osborne introduced
Turner and explained to the commit
tee that the purpoe of the blu was
to afford a. real market for the Cali
fornia and Arizona staple in the same
manner as now provided by law for
the short cotton of Texas and the
South. Advocating the immediate
passage of the bill Turner said in
part:
INCREASE CONTRIBUTION.
"The great productive valleys of
Southern California, Arizona and in
the Imperial Valley in Lower Cali
form, are yearly increasing their con-
tribution to the wealth of the world.
Their contribution is a cause of won-
derment, except to those who, by rea-
sons of their close acquaintance and
knowledge of their past and present,
can predict their future without con-
lecture.
"The possibilities of the soil of these
areas are great, the development of
new crop so rapid, the activities of the
agricultural departments of both gov
ernment and State so varied and
earnest, that we find that we have
developed another industry without
providing proper safeguards tor
handling the commodity.
H. r. No. 1878 is an amendment
to Il bill now on the statute books
the object of which is to protect one
of Americas growing, and what is
destined to be one of her great agri-
cultural assets, viz American-Egypt-
ian or Pima cotton.
ASK NOW NEW LAW.
I'm asking your favorable con-
slderation of this bill in behalf of the
financial interests,( the growers and
the Pacific Cotton Exchange we are
not asking that new law be placed
upon the statute books or that Con-
gress spend one penny upon our dis
trict, but only that you amend the
existing act by inserting a section
that will give us the same privilege
that of protecting the growers and
dealers in Americana Egyptian cotton
as has been afforded those who have
handled short cotton for the past
thirty-five years.
Previous to the development of
Egyptian cotton in California and
Arizona, which are destined to be
the longstaple sections of the United
States, the manufacturers bought
their supply from Egypt, and to that
country or England they must today
apply if they protect themselves
against the market fluctuations, al
though the cotton is raised on Ameri-
can soil, bought. sold and manu-
