have been exchanged between Pope
Benedict and King George or the sub
ject: Of the Irish peace negotiations.
The pontin in his message announced

London, Oct. l9.-Prime Minister
Lloyd Georges decision to go to the
Washington conference is having It's
effect on the progress of the confer
ence with Irish leaders, which has
been in progress here Tor the last
week endeavoring to solve the Irish
question.
Government circles today express
ed belief that the plan whereby the
various points, particularly the condi-
tions named in Mr.. Lloyd Georges
dominion home rule proposal are to
be referred to subcommittee, makes
America. On the other hand, Sim
Fem leaders are believed to be de-
termined to ascertain before his de-
parture whether it is to be peace or
war" Some of them say that none
of h critical points has been touch
ed thus far, which fact, they claim,
accounts for the smoothness of the
sessions to date and they object to
these points being kept in the back
ground indefinitely.
No date has yet been fixed for the
next meeting of the Irish conference.

Now high officials of the Federal gov
eminent and representative men of
the Southwest are talking very defin-

work and putting it through.
The hearing conducted by Secretary
Of the Interior Fall in San Diego gave
the long talked-of project it's greatest
boost. He heard the people of the
Imperial Valley and of all the sur
rounding territory. Concrete plans
and ideas were advanced and there
was rich meat in every one of them.
Now on their way back to their of
ficial duties both Secretary Fall and
Reclamation Director A. P. Davis are
boosting and givnginformative talks
about Boulder Dam and its wonderful
possibilities.
In Los Angeles yesterday Director
Davis thrilled large audience when
he presented staggering figures on
what the tanned Colorado river will
do and said that these figures are not
guesswork, but cold facts obtained

OF SURPRISES

Hall You Sure Missed Some.
thing Big

Last Tuesday night was one Of the
busiest meetings ever held by the X.
Iof p. lodge of this city. There were
Iabout eighty present, among. them l..
K. Stillman, who had two COWS and q
heifer calf to sell. Chauncey Dickev
bought the calf on the spot. Dickev
made no explanation, but the suppos-
ton is that he will soon be in the
dairy business. No one bought the
cows, so Stillman had to lead them
back to Imperial by hand.
Vernon Steinwinder gave a descrip.
ton Of "whangdoodle." He said it
was part dog and part goat, and gave
the " Brittanica" as his authority
Stillman said it was also part bear"
but gave no authority. He came so
close that those present who had seen
the animal were convinced that he had
been mosieing around, which had been
forbidden.
This "whangdoodle," which was to
be ratified off last Tuesday, will bt
ratified next Tuesday night. Bill King
has charge Of the animal, but was il.
Los Angeles last Tuesday, register
ing his bull, so could not be present a.
that time.
Having disposed of all the animals,
the lodge proceeded to elect its Off
GERS for the ensuing year, with the
following result: Laurence Lazenby,
chancellor commander; Chauncey
Dickey, vice chancellor; Joe Conkling
prelate; Ralph Voyce, master of work
Vernon Steinwinder, master at arms
VIM. Mitchell, keeper of records and
seal; Bob Chestnut, master Of finance;
Leroy Fuller, master of exchequer;
Garold Jones, inner guard; ID. Ber-
neker, outer guard; Elmer Leonard
and A. f. Konold, trustees, three and
two years respectively. This bunch
will all make good, at least they all
said they would.
A fine bunch of young fellows We're
proved in the rank of esquire, all OBJ
ligated and seated except one, who
took the work quite seriously. NeXt
Tuesday night this same bunch will
take the rank Of knight, after which
we will all listen to a bear story by
NJ. D. Steele. This story is good. M.
D. didn't kill the bear, and neither did
the bear kill NJ. D. Come out and
hear just what did happen. Bob Ches
nut will sing song entitled, Boys
Please Pay Up accompanied by

number; after which we will eat, if we
still feel able to take nourishment.

STATE LEAD IN
1920 HAY SALES

California lead all the states of the
Union in the sale of hay in 1919, ac-
cording to the report of the census bu-
read, Department of Commerce. AL
most million tons was disposed of.
The superior marketing facilities of
California growers is shown by the
fact that in production California
stood only seventh with Ali ,6SS tons
to it's credit.
A large part of all production was
consumed on the farms in feeding of
stock as the report shows that of the
90,355,540 tons grown in the United
States, only 13,137,131 was sold
The states which reported more
than 100000 tons of hay sold in 1919
were as follows: California, 977,794
tons; New York, 928,S74 tons; Kan

CUT ON
FARM PRODUCTS
is AUTHORIZED
State Railroad Commission
FOllOlUs Federal Board in
Making Reduction in Rail
Rates

An average cut of 10 per cent in
freight rates in California on farm
products was authorized yesterday in
San Francisco by the State Railroad
Commission.
The reduction in rates is to be cf-
fective January l.
This action follows in line author
ization by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for a general reduction
of rates on hay and grain.
Application to put into effect the
proposed reduction was made by F.
w. Comph, agent for all the steam
and electric lines engaged in freight
carrying in this state. The Interstate
Commerce Commission order to the
carriers called for reduction of 1919
per cent on hay and grain products
only.
In authorizing the general 10 per
cent reduction the California commits
sion held it was much more beneficial
to the farmers Of the state as a. whole
than the slightly greater reduction
on grain and hay alone. The products
to which the 10 per cent cut in freight
rates apply are: Grain and grain
products, hay, manufactured tobacco,
cotton, cotton seed products, fresh
fruits, dried fruits, fresh and dried
vegetables, livestock, poultry, butter,
eggs and cheese and wool.

Collector John p. Carter Ad.
vises Taxpayers as to Pro.
visions of New Act Affect
ing Their POcketbOoks

The following has just been issued
by Collector John P. Carter of this
internal revenue district:
enactment of new revenue legisIa-
ton has brought to the offices of
collectors of internal revenue a FLOOD
Of inquiries regarding various provi-
sions. The Revenue Act of 1921 be-
came effective November %, 1921,
unless otherwise provided for
"To avoid error in the preparation
Of their returns and later difficulties
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
taxpayers are advised to carefully
note the changes and when they be-
come effective.
"The excess profits tax is repealed
as of January l, 1922. The rates for
1921 are unchanged.
The surtaX rates for the calendar
year 1921 are unchanged, and range
from i per cent en- the amount OF net
income between $4,000 and $4,000 to
65 per cent on the amount of net in
come in excess of $1,000,000. For the
calendar year 1922 the surtaX rates
change from | per cent on the amount
of net income between $4,000 and $10,-
1000 to SO per cent on the amount by
which the net income exceeds 5000 900.
"The exemption allowed for de-
pendent is increased from $500 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or wife and heads Of families
are allowed a personal exemption Of
$2500 (instead of $4,000 unless the
met income is in excess of $4,000, in
which case the personal exemption is
only $4,000. The act provides that in
no case shall the reduction of the
personal exemption from $2500 to
$4,000 operate tol mere ase tho tax
which would be payable if the eX-
emption were S2500 by more than
the amount of the net income in eX-
cess of $4,000. This is to overcome
the disparity in the case of two pay
payers, one of whom is just within
the lower $4,000 exemption and the
other just within the higher $500
exemption.
Single persons, and married per-
sons not living with husband or wife,
are allowed an exemption of $1,000.
Nonresident aliens are allowed sim
gle personal exemption of $1,000.
lPersons having gross incomes for
1921 of $4,000 or over are required to
make return, regardless of the
amount of net income.

Says Federal Controllers !:
Strike Is Threatened

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. = Drastic
changes in overtime pay of half mil
lion railroad workers were made cub.
lie by the United States railroad la.
Dor board late yesterday.
The board in announcing new work
ing rules stated that starting Friday
maintenance of way employees would
not be paid time and half for over
time until day of ten hours had
been completed.
Under the old rules time and halt
was paid after eight hours work.
The ruling will save the roads mil
lions of dollars year noperating ex-
penses.
The new rulings were branded as a
blow to the eight-hour day by j. J.
Farnan, vice president of the Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes.
"The eight-hour ,ly is gone" he
stated. There is nothing to prevent
the carriers from working men 10
hours day if there is no punitive
provision"
Consideration Of applications Of the
railroads for wage reductions and of
employees for wage increases are now
in order before the United States
railroad labor board as the result of
the promulgation of new working
rules for the maintenance of way en-
ployes. Conferences with regard t0
wage cuts already have started on
many railroads and resulting disputes
are regarded as certain to come be-
fore the board within the next few
weeks.
