MOUNTAIN SIDES
Scared BY QUAKE
Huge LandsIides in Utah Terror
ize Three Towns.
STREAMS RED WITH OXIDES
Boulders Weighing Tons Thrown Into
Canyons-Many Structures at Ell
shore and Monroe Will Have
to Be Rebuilt

Salt Lake City, Oct. 3.-Earthquake
shocks have continued at intervals
during the last "a hours at Elsinore
and Monroe, 120 miles south of Salt
Lake, and at Richfield Five distinct
shocks were felt and a severe tremor
completed the work of disaster in
wrecking of buildings that were DAM
aged Thursday. 1t is estimated. that 20
buildings at Elsinore and Monroe will
have to be rebuilt.
At Richfield a near panic ensued.
People ran from their houses, stores
and offices. Chimneys were thrown
down, windows were broken and
cracks appeared in several buildings.
One man was injured by falling brick.
At Elsinore two chimneys at the
sugar factory were toppled over.
Great White Seams in Mountains.
Great white seams have been left
in the nearby mountains by the frac-
tured segments torn away from the
high cliffs and flung in huge landslldes
to the canyon bottoms. All persons
have been warned to keep out of the
canyons.
Streams from the mountains are
said to be running blood red with
oxides shaken from assures by the
successive quakes, and 1T Monroe the
hot springs sent forth water almost
blood red. When the mountains to
the east were shaken up great rocks
rolled down their sides. Reports are
to the effect that boulders weighing
many tons bounded down the steep
sides of Monroe canyon, causing
landslide.
Prof. Fred J. Pack of the Univer-
sity of Utah arrived at Elsinore to
study the earthquake conditions. He
could not be located following the
latest shock, and it is believed he is
in Monroe canyon surveying the ef-
fects of the shocks there.
Illinois Town Gets Tremor.
Harrisburg, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-Two dis
tinct shocks, believed to be caused by
a slight earthquake, were felt here at
three o'clock in the morning. Houses
were shaken and sleepers aroused,
causing considerable alarm but no
damage has been reported.
Quakes in Nicaragua.
San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Oct.
3.-Two earthquakes were felt here

SALES TAX BILL
GIVEN To SENATE
Shoots Substitute Is Formally
Presented to Body.
TO REPLACE "57" VARIETIES
Three Per Cent Levy on Manufacture
ers Would Take Place of War,
Excise, Luxury, Stamp, Capital
Stock and Other Taxes.

Washington, Oct IA manufacture
ers' sales tax of per cent was for
mally proposed to the senate by Sen
ator Smoot (Rep., Utah.
Senator Smoot explained that this
would be in substitution for "all of
the various war taxes, the excise
taxes. luxury taxes, stamp taxes, cap
ital stock tax, transportation, tele-
graph and insurance taxes; the tax
on soft drinks, ice cream, cosmetics,
admission and dues and all or the
other '57 varieties of obnoxious, dis
criminatory forms of taxation" which
would be repealed on next January 1
under series of amendments to the
revenue revision bill offered by the
senator.
Repeal of the excess profits tax as
of last January instead of next Janu-
airy 1, as planned by both the house
and the senate finance committee, also
was proposed by Mr.. SmoOt. Under
his amendments the corporation in
come tax would remain at 10 per cent,
but there would be no change in the
present tobacco liquor and inheritance
taxes.
Text of Sales Amendment.
The sales tax amendment reads:
"That in addition to all other taxes
there shall be levied, assessed. collect
ed and paid upon every commodity
manufactured, or produced, when sold,
leased or licensed for consumption or
use without further process of manu-
facture, tax equivalent to 3 per
modify is sold leased or licensed;
such tax to be paid by the manufac-
turer or producer"
ut should be noted" said Senator
Smoot, "that as the tax is imposed
only when articles are sold for con-
sumption or use without further
process of manufacturer the tax will
be noncumulative in effect and will
give the integrated business no advan-
tage over the disintegrated business.
"There will be but one tax. If a
commodity is sold for consumption
or use in further process of manu-
facture no tax will be imposed For
example, crude oil sold for fuel would
be taxable, but if sold to a refinery
for the making of gasoline or like
commodities would not be taxable.
Agricultural Products Exempt.
''In order to avoid administrative
difficulties with small sales, the bill
provides for an exemption Of all sales
Of less than $4,000 during one year.
This will practically exempt all agri-
cultural products, but as most agri-
cultural products would find their
way into manufactured products. they
would be exempt, anyway.
Provision is made for a like tax
upon similar imported commodities
so that there can be no discrimination
against American products.
"The yield of this tax has been
carefully estimated and approved by
one Of the foremost economists in the
country. Prof. Charles J. Bullock of
Harvard, to produce during the cal
endar year 1922 $7S9,756OOO. Con-
servatism has been exercised through
out this estimate. The yield will I'M
doubtedly be, close to 100000,
but the figure given is more than am
pie to provide the revenue which will
be lost by the repeats which 1 pro-
pose."

There are some persons who only learn Of

An easy conscience makes a hard lot.
A good deed, like a good story, can
bear repetition.
Sharp wit, intending to tickle the ear,
often stabs the heart.
An air Of sef-importance, though it
may puff a man up, will not help him to
rise.
We may learn the value Of money from
poverty, but never the value Of knowledge
from ignorance.
Ambition nourishes opportunity; greed
stiles it in its embrace.

DR.. Egan, to induce the Danish
statesmen to let us buy the Danish
West Indies at an extravagant price.
But we wanted them for strategic
purposes. More accurately, we want
ed to make sure that no enemy
could get them-and we got them.
Let us be careful not to forget and
neglect them.
These islands offer little oppor-
tunity to native industry and many
of their inhabitants are very poor.
Their only chances for wages are
on sugar plantations during a part
of the year or in occasional tasks of
ship loading.
Denmark paid outdoor relief to
5000 unemployed, but never pro-
vided an institution for the care of
the poor, aged or infrm. With the
transfer of title this relief ceased.
These natives are now destitute and
their condition pitiable.
We should make our flag mean
opportunity among these new wards.
