Forty members OF the Russian Col

their homes by the Bolsheviki and scat

England and the United States to-day
reappeared as elected representatives OF
the. Russian people ready to direct the
efforts of the western world against Boil

own in dingy hall in the Passy district
here.
The congress was opened by NJ.

Agriculture, fianlxed by Alexandra Ker-

Provisional Government Basil Makia-
vok. formerly Russian Ambassador 70
France. and Boris Bakhmeteff. formerly
Russian Amba ssador to the United
States. The object of the meeting qwas
to start a movement which some day
would result in the overthrow of Soviet
dictatorship without resorting to mill
tarism.

Any effort to attempt this would be
disastrous to Russia and the rest OF the

BALLOON ADVENTURE
NOT NEW TO CANADA
Natiue Recalls Lost Airman OF
Forty Years Ago.

s,eeial Despatch to THE NEW York HEfALp'
MONTREAL, Jan. S.-Apropos OF the
adventure of the three American aero
nauts in The wilds OF northern Ontario
John d. Roche. a lumber operator OF
long experience, recalled to-day some-
what similar experience of two Ameri-
cans who drifted into northern Canada
in a balloon from the state OF New
York more than forty years ago. They,
TOO became lost and landed near Philo-
meme Creek. close 10 DEVILS Mountain.
in the brush country along the Gatineau
River.
The experience of these early air ad-
venturers, as Mr.. Roche brought IT back

narrowing as that which befell the re-
cent inadvertent excursion into the
region of James Bay
After wandering helplessly through

the two ballonists were found by push
ranger named Snoddy, who ministered
temporary relief and managed to get
thcm through TO the agency OF Gimour
& Co. where their needs were attended
to by John Cameron. tho company's rep
resentatlve. The point where the men
were found by Snoddy, as Mr. Roche
remembered il. was about thirty miles
north OF Maniwaki.
After they were reviewed and apparel
was provided to take the place OF their
rags the two baIloonists were driven
down to ottawa and returned to New
York. where they We're welcomed as mon
who had come back from the grave.
That the nature OF the experience un-
dergone by these two was sufficiently
impressed upon their own consciousness
was made manifest in the splendid gen.
erosity with which they testified to the
service of Ranger Snoddy and Cameron
who figured in their rescue IL was
commonly known that the hoeraiity OF
the Americans had been such that the

The most cordial spirit prevails among
the various representatives gathered
here. and it is evident that their chief
intention is twofold; First the reen-

TAX SYSTEM WRONG HADLEY
TELLS FARMERS. WANTS
PARTIAL SINGLE TAX

Fort Collins. Colo, Dec. l5.-Until
Colorado puts into effect q general
state income tax, the farmers Of the
state Viii continue TO pay the larger
harcs OF tho state taxes. This wa
the statement and suggestion made BY
DR. Herbert s. Hadlcy. former govern
or Of Missouri and now on the faculty
Of the University Of Colorado. who
discussed the effect Of taxes upon the
farmers at the sessions Of the Colora-
do Farmers Congress at the Agricul-
tural college iH Fort Collins this week
The poor people are paying several
times more in proportion to their in
comes than the rich are in many in
stances and all because our systems
Of taxation have not been correctly
drawn up. Taking two Iowa farmers
a an example Hadley drew the follow
ing illustration.
Both Of the farmers sold their farms
in Iowa and came 10 Colorado. One of
them invested his 100000. which he
secured on his Iowa farm, in Colo
RADIO farm and was forced to pay al
most $4,000 in taxes the coming year.
His neighbor, who also sold and moved
to this state invested his money in
bonds that brot in seven per cent in
terest and paid no taxes at all. This
shows the injustice of our system.
DIR. Hadley would also exempt pri-
vate homes from taxation and thus
stimulate an own-your-own-hom
movement 1t would lead toward sat
isfied citizenship which is so desirable.
As regards the expenditure Of state
moneys at the present time. DR.. Had
ley says that only slightly over five
per cent of the money is used for state
government and that the rest goes
for good roads and state Institutions.
The money used for educational in
stitutions is well spent, and in his
opinion that no state in the union gets
more for each dollar spent for educa
tional work than does Colorado.

POWER OF
FARM PRODUCTS NOW
LOWEST IN HISTORY

The purchasing power of the prin-
cipal farm crops of the year 1921. de-
clared secretary Wallace, at the pres
ent time is lower than ever before
known. In times past some Of these
crops, he pointed out, have sold at a
lower price per sales unit expressed
in dollars and cents, but probably
never before have, our farmers been
compelled to exchange their products
per sale unit for such small amounts
Of the things they need. The purchas-
ing power Of our major grain crops
is little more than half what it was
on an average for the first pre-war
years of l9l0-1914.
The secretary drew particular at
tention to the matter of freight rates
snd their direct effect on he farmer.
The cost of getting farm products
from the farm to the consumer table
has increased. he said, tremendously
during the past three years.

Proclamation

TO the People of Colorado
: The attention OF the executive has
been directed TO an apparent decline
I in the dairy interests Of the state
and in these times Of depression IN
the beef industry and ia many other
I lines il is imperative that this matter
[ be called 10 the attention Of the citi-
Lenship.
The Colorado Dairy Council, deep
I ly interested in this important sub
{ ject, is authority for the following
{ statements:
"A comparison of census returns
on the number OF dairy COWS in Colo
/ during each Of the past five years
shows progressive falling off IN the
! increase Of herds, said decrease being
, greater in 1920 than in each Of the
I four preceding years.
Corn and alfalfa are cheap-far
too cheap for the good Of the man
who raised them and is trying to sell
them as such. An average dairy COW
will require about AIS pounds Of
corn chop. SO pounds of cotton seed
meal and 2O75 pounds of alfalfa hay
to produce 100 pounds of butterfat.
At the present market price this
amount of butterfat is worth $32,
bringing for the feed consumed value
Of $425 per hundred for the corn
chou as against market price today
of about SIPS per hundred. and Sl2
per ton for the alfalfa, which has n
value in the stack of from $500 TO
$500 per ton. In other words. the
return to the dairyman for his feed is
approximately treb'ed by feeding it
/ TO dairy COWS, and such an increase is
eminently desired under the unsatis-
factory conditions existing today
81 view these facts and the further
fact that the Dairy Division of the
United States Department of Agri-
riculture reports that bank deposits
in dairy sections of the country are
actually increasing under the adverse
conditions prevailing, while deposits
in non-dairying sections show a heavy
falling Off, and that all authorities
agree that the development of animal
husbandry, particularly in dairying
lis vital to the maintenance of the value
of our land in producing power and ITS
continual profit to the producer de-
STABILITY and necessity of earnest
stimulus being applied to the dairying
industry in Colorado is apparent 10
all who are interested in the restora-
ton Of normal conditions in our state,
and for these reasons feel it my
duty to call upon all farmers TO pay
added attention 10 dairy cows and up
on all allied interests to give to the
farmers every possible support in then
endeavors to increase the dairy herds
of the state.

mcnts now being worked out in Mesa
county are being watched with in
terest by stockmen in all sections Of
Colorado, and If successful the CO.
operative plan may become an import
ant factor in rehabilitating the live
stock industry in various districts.
The experiments being conducted by
Chas. Rump of the Red Lands COM
pany, in Mesa county. and Oscar Al
bert Turner is one of the most in
teTestiug. Several weeks ago the
Turner's placed 100 head Of steers and
100 head of cows in pasture on the
Red Lands. There they will be fed
until the weather gets colder, when
they will be placed in feed lot and
fed alfalfa hay, corn and sunfower sill
age. Under the terms of the CO.
operative plan, cattle are weighed
when placed on pasture. When sold
Mr. Rump, the feeder. will receive the
money which the added weight brings
and the Turner's will get the price
which the initial weight brings. 1t is
expected that at sales time price will
be several cents higher than now, and
this increase in price is what the Tur
ners are going after. They stand to
lose less than Rump, as he must add
weight to receive pay for his feed.
The agreement appears to be an
ideal one, and should prove vastly pro-
fitable to both owner and feeder. Each
has what the other needs and at pres
ent there is no great market for either.
The arrangement will enable the
farmer to convert his hay and other
feeds and silage into live stock which
can be marketed in the spring when
grass-fed animals have been disposed
of and relatively greater demand
and better prices prevail.
In addition to this the farmer will
receive the benefit of the fertilizer.
matter of considerable moment to
him. as well as the saving of expense
to him of hauling his feed to market.
The stockman is saved the very heavy
expense of Carrying his stock thru the
winter by the purchase of hay and
grain and will share in the increased
price which usually prevails in the
early market.

LIBERTY BONDS AGAIN

fifth issue fell due this month. Tne
time seems near at hand when alt OF
the war bond issues will be selling at

41. per cent class are now qloted at
100 per cent almost every day. Dur
ing the week the bonds of the fourth
issue reached 9s.i4. and the climb Of
all classes to par has been steady for
the past month.
Total par value of outstanding
Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes are
now Sl9,53s ,946, 600. Advance in
market prices from the low point has
has been 50. SOC. 600. 900 900 since the
turn. While there has been much
selling of public securities since their
issue the great volume of them
makes the percentage of selling small
indeed, and while a few have taken
losses in selling the ones they bought
under the stress of patriotism during
the campaign, the greater number has
retained the bonds, so that the fiuctu-
ations Of the market due to the money
stringency has really been of no con-
sequence. since these were neither
buying nor selling but helding on as
they were expected to do when they
came to the financial assistance of
their government in war times.
