FOREIGN
TRADE
More Than Half Our Popu-
latiOn Cannot Thrive With
out. European Market for
American Products, Says
Banker.
(By Associated Fress)

MINNEAPOLIS, July 21.-When
America First" is made to mean de-
crying the Importance of America S
foreign trade, it is not well said, DR..
Walter Lichtenstein, eXecutiev secre-
tary of the First National bank of
Chicago, told the American Institute
of Banking here today. On the con-
trary, he held, large foreign trade is
most important of Americas business,
particularly agriculture. =, =
"All Of US believe in America
First" DR.. Lichtenstein said, "That
is what We are here for, to do every
thing possible to aid and develop the
business of our own country. But we
are not giving aid and comfort if we
support policy which is based upon
the theory that our foreign trade is
unimportant and that conditions will
right themselves if We will only look
to our own affairs.
ut is true that our foreign trade
amounts to possibly only five per cent
Of the total business done in this
country, but, in the first place, any
business man will tell you that 3 per
cent difference often spells success or
failure as the case may be. In the
second place, when we say that cur
foreign business amounts to only 5
per cent of the total business done in
this country. remember that this is
only general average including every
commercial and manufacturing activi-
ty known.
"Of the most important of all in
dustrieS, however, agriculture, the
foreign trade is vastly larger than
merely per cent We must export
$50 10000 to OO,OOO.O0O bushels of
wheat OF the 100000 or 12,O00,-
900 bales of cotton which we produce
yearly, 100000 bales must be sent
abroad in order to find market. and
in Chicago we realize that the large
packing establishments so vital to the
business of the Middle West, cannot
prosper without large foreign trade.
'In short, the people who cultivate
our soil and who comprise nearly half
of our population cannot find a mar
ket for large proportion OF their
products unless they can find foreign
buyers for them.
"How, then, can we expect domestic
business to prosper unless foreign
trade prOspers, and how can foreign
trade prosper unless our customers in
the international field are prosperous?
"Surely, we want to set our own
house in order, but part of this set
ting in order, must be the extending
of credits to our customers abroad"
American railroads, farms and many
of the other industries of the country
were developed during the Nineteenth
Century largely by British, French,
German and Dutch capital invested in
fixed assets of this country, DR.. LIGHT
enstein added. at behooves us now,"
he said, ito put Europe on its feet by
using our surplus means in similar
manner"

WIFE NO LONGER
MANS CHATTEl
nv Aseooiqtai Pressl


TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 21.-A
wife has the right to be alone with a
man friend on a public highway with
out interference from her husband, ac-
cordlng to recent decision of the
Florida Supreme court.
The case came up through a hus ).
band meeting his wife riding alone
with another man. He attacked the
man, and as result of the fight tha.
ensued his wife's companion was con-
victed of assault with intent to murder.
The state Supreme court reversed the
lower tribunal.
"There may have been a time when
wife was regarded as her husbands
chattel, and being out alone on pub
lie road with another man regarded
as sufficient provocation to justify the
husband in making an assault upon
her companion, but this IS no longer
true, when women enjoy equal free
dom with men, said the opinion read
by Chief Justice Brown.
"The mere walking or driving of q
married woman with another man, or
married man with another woman,
is not sufficient provocation to Justify
an assault by either spouse, and the
greater freedom of intercourse be-
tween men and women in this Cay
protects them from unwarranted at
tacks by a jealous husband or wife,
who sees in innocent acts of social
intercourse combinations strong as
proofs of holy writ that they are flag
rantly immoral

81, ,627,150 HAS
BEEN AID IN
BY TAXPA PAYERS
Collections This Year Far in
Excess of PreUiOus Years,
Showing Prosperous COndi-
tiOns in County.

County Auditor Walter D. Carey
and staff have nearly finished the an
nual compilation Of the county and
various school district valuations for
the fiscal just ended and for use by
the board of supervisors as a basis
upon which to fix the tax rate for the
ensuing year..
While the figures are no. ccSaplete
an actual total of $1,627, ,15O.bC has
been collected and turned in to County
Treasurer Barton. This sum does not
include money now in the tax collect
or's office or that of county Assessor
Wiley M. Weaver. But according to
treasure Barton surpasses any pre-
ceding year in size.
The estimated returns from the COL
lection of taxes was placed at $780,
600 so that to date approximately 81
per cent of this amount has been col
lected, while the uncollected portion
or l3 per cent of lands upon which tax
es were delinquent, have been sold
to the state.
Despite the fact that Dame Rumor
persisted in trying to make the public
believe that thousands of ranches
would be sold for delinquent taxes the
facts disprove any such condition, and
are strong testimonial to the fact
that the county's finances are in splen-
did shape.
The tax rate for the year 1921-1922
will be determined by the board of
supervisors at their first fall meeting
which will be held on the first Mon
day in September.

ABSENT LADYBUG
CAUSES BIG DAMAGE

1t is now the consensus of opinion
among cantaloupe growers that lady
bugs are highly beneficial in prevent
ing aphis.
For several years until this season
ladybugs had been imported regularly
to Imnerial Valley and aphis was a
negligible quantity. Last year the
state department of agriculture decid-
ed that ladybugs had not done they
work they were asked to do and none
were shipped to the valley.
The disastrous results have been ap-
parent the last three weeks when
many hundreds of acres of good canta-
loupe fields were practically wiped out
with aphis and it is believed at least
750 acres of cantaloupes destroyed by
the pest.

ALIENS TAKE MUCH
OF COUNTY'S MONEY

According to the reports of the
county auditors office some 48 claims
have been paid to date this month for
the care of the INDECENT. An analysis
of the claims discloses the fact that
nearly IS per cent were paid to for
eigners and most of them Mexicans.
A further investigation shows that
these wards of the county were
brought wholesale into Imperial coun-
ty under the sanction of the Fedesal
authorities at time when laborers
were needed or~the cotton fields.
Apparently no health certificates or
physical examinations of any kind
were deemed necessary as many of
the unfortunates now in the care OF
the county are diseased and have been
so since coming here.
Another phase of the .county's res
possibility for the care of indigents is
fast forcing itself upon the minds and
the pocketbooks of the public, in the
number of Mexican families that are
being provided for when the husband
and provider has been caught snug

TAXES NOW DUE

July 31st is the last day for filing
capital stock tax returns. To avoid
penalty, the returns must be on file
on or before midnight of that date.
Blank forms have been mailed to all
corporations of record. and if NOT re-
ceived, should be applied for imme-
diately. xsa.aaAset
The capital stock tax is a special
excise tax imposed on corporations
with respect to carrying on or doing
business" The tax on domestic cor
porations is 81 for eI;h $1,000 in eX-
cess of $4,000 of the fair average value
of it's capital stock for the preceding
year ending June 30th. Foreign COR
porations are required to pay tax
at the rate of 81 for each $1,000 of
their capital employed in the United
States without the benefit of the $4,000
deduction.
The tax is payable in advance, re-
turns filed this month covering the
taxable year beginning July 1st, 1921,
and ending June 30th, 1922.
Returns are required of every cor
poration, regardless of the par value
of it's capital stock.
Corporations claiming exemption
are required to file returns setting
forth their reasons for such claims
accompanied by evidence in support
thereof
If, because of lack of complete data
or other reasons than illness or alb
sence, it is impossible to file COM
plete return on or before July 31st, a
tentative return may be filed. report
ing the approximate fair value in or
der that an initiative assessment may
be made, thus avoiding penalty.
With a view to the prompt collec-
ton of the capital stock tax, and fol
the convenience of the taxpayer as
we'll as the government, the bureau
suggests that corporations submit
checks with the returns for the amount
of tax due. This method is appealing
to corporations as it lessons liability tt
penalty.

wt will be a misfortune to the val
ley to lose Mr.. Cronholm as general
manager" stated Director Mark Rose
when asked his opinion as to the
probably outcome of the managerial
controversy.
"The board took no definite action
at its regular meeting" continued Mr.
Rose, "but it may be forced to later
on, as Mr.. Cronholm may insist that
his resignation be accepted or that he
be given years contract with the
district, to which l think he is justly
entitled.
"Mr. Cronholm has saved the district
a half million dollars during the past
six months. Eighteen months ago the
district owed million and half in
issued warrants, ETC.; and now the dis
trict does not owe a cent and has over
100000 coming from the mutuals.
"The question of whether the dis
trict board should be given credit for
this, or Mr.. Cronholm, can perhaps
best be decided by taking into consld-
Grafton the history Of the affairs of
the district during the past five years,
when a few of the present officers
were on the board. During the years
previous the district was always in
debt. The manager is the one that
really spends the money for the dis
trict, and it is up to him whether he
gets thirty cents or 100 cents on the
dollar. The present condition of the
districts affairs should speak for it.

Assistant Commits stone r
Makes Clear Attitude of
Government on All Licens-
es Granted Under Laws
of 1920.

Persons in the Imperial Valley who
are interested in oil drilling permits
issued by the United States govern
ment, who have vague and uncertain
idea as to what action may be taken
by the government, in case they nave
been unable to pursue their search for
oil under their permits, can have al
their doubts set at rest by the follow
ing ruling just made in letter from
George Il. Wickham, assistant conl-
missioner of the general land office:
reference is had to your telegram
of today, and my reply thereto. In
further reply, there is inclosed copy
Of letter of the Secretary of the In
ter of the extension of time within
which to commence drilling under OIL
prospecting permits issued under the
act of February rs, 1920. al Stat.
43O. You will observe that the seq
retary holds that an extension Of time
at the end Of six months would be pre-
mature and not specifically authorized
by statute; the extension of time au-
thorized may be only after the extern
sion Of two years from the date of the
permit. The secretary, however, now
holds that where the permittee or his
assignee exercises due diligence, and
because of climatic condition, or other
reasons beyond his control, has been
unable to begin actual drilling within
six months, no action will be taken
looking to the cancellation Of the per
nit for said reasons. Each permittce
should, however, within 12 months and
ten DAYS, from its permit file in the
local land office of the district i'll
which the land is situated, a corrobo- :
rated affidavit specifically describing
the work done upon the land, together
with such other information as may
be pertinent as to his operations.
"The department is inclined to be
very liberal in the interpretation Of

erations Hereunder. think the OBJ
ject being to develop the oil and gas
