THE FOLLY OF 4 oNE-cRoP SYSTEM

The nineteen hundred and tWenyone far has
remarkable one.
In January the people, in blue funk running hitler

other fellow for settlement he found impossible make
Nobody selling anything because nobody would buy
Farm products had gone down. people leaving the farm

most in panic and leaning money had become lost art
No one could foresee the day when times would be better
The reaction from the spending ebauh for the three preceding
years had set in and the future obscured by penetra
able gloom
Verify indeed, those dark days, but what have We
learned from them?
The people Of Upton county went to work b
Many started crop without knowing from what source

They worked hard they lived economically They lived on less

crops that have been made the county many years Pros
poets now point toward Bountul harvest Indications are
that cotton will sell higher than expected when the crop was
planted.
This should show clearly the folly of the onecop sys
tenn The risk is too great Next time it might be harder to
pun through.
The dark days at the beginning Of this year will teach the
wise lesson They will again risk everything on any
single crop They will learn that there many crops that can

THE RICHEST NATION

Those who think the United States
the richest nation per capita in the
world are in error. 1t is true that
we have other countries on our
ledgers for about ten billions of
dollars and that our investors and
bankers hold about eight billions
more of obligations, and SO we are
inclined to think of ourselves as
smugly as cock of the monetary
walk. As a matter of fact, the
Croesus Of nations is the Usage
tribe Of Indians.
Not long since, its members were
acres of Usage oil lands near Tulsa.
Oklahoma was sold for a bonus Of
$4,500,000, plus bonus of one
sixth of the oil products. The oil
interests are tribal property, and
this brought the individual Usage
income, from papoose to grandpar-
ent, up to $4,000 year. There are
2,100 Osages, and they run to large
families. A family Of 10, which is
not unusual, thus has an annual in
come Of 100000.
This ancient tribe is nouveau
richie. Fifteen years ago its men,
ners were SO poor that each of them
received from the government an
annual check for S265 and counted
himself lucky to get it. That was
after the government had induced
The nation to give up it's fairly fer
e fields in Kansas and Missouri
and move to what were known as
"billy goat" lands in Oklahoma.

MORE TAXES FOR THE AVER
AGE MAN

Il would be idle to discuss the tax
revision bill at this time beyond the
general trend Of effort to shift some
Of the taxes from the very rich to
the shoulders Of others, because the
tax revision bill win not Be reported
before the last week in August Of
the first Of September, based on
statements Of its trainers.
AT this writing it seems highly
probable that the promise Of tax re-
ductiOn made 50 freely BY Mr.. Hard
ing and other Republican spokesman
in the last campaign win apply only
to persons whose incomes are in the
millions Or whose profits are 81
much in excess Of normal as to be
monopolistic. Other probabilities
are an automobile flat tax Of $40.
three-cent letter postage and heav-
lily increased taxes on tobacco. The
one certainty Of the bill is that the
average man will pay more and the
favored few will pay less.

100000, 600 TAX CUT
AGREEMENT REACHED

Reductions Of approximately $780,
100000 in taxes and $520000,000 in
government expenditures this fiscal
year were agreed upon late Tuesday
in Washington at conference be-
tween President Harding, Secretary
Mellon and Republican leaders Of
the House of Representatives, includ-
ing members Of the ways and means

airy /, $130,OOO,0OO
Repeal of the higher income sur
taxes, retroactive to last January
/, $90,O00,000.
Reneal of the so-called nuisance
and clothing luxury taxes, $5O,OOO,-
600.
AS an offset against this cut Of
$720 900 900 it was agreed to in
crease the income tax on corpora
tions by probably 21s per cent, in
stead Of per cent, as heretofore
proposed, effective as of last Janu-
ary i, to yield an additional 1885,
100000.
Decision was had, it was said, to
abandon all new taxes suggested to
the House committee last week by
Secretary Mellon, including a.
license tax on automobiles, bank
check stamp and an increase Of one

Besides the so per cent. cut in
transportation taxes, effective next

to have agreed to have a
