Profits Still Taxable.

Numerous inquiries have reached
the Bureau of Internal Revenue rela-
tive to the decision of United States
District Court of Connecticut in the
Brewster case, in which it was held
that gains and profits realized from
the sale of capital assets are not tax
able income. The United States At
torney for Connecticut has been au-
thorized to perfect an appeal to the
Supreme Court OF the United States
for n review of the decision. Since
Congress, under the provisions Of the
income tax Acts of 1913, 1916, and
1918, has directed the taxation as in
come of such gains and profits, the
Bureau will continue to collect the tax
thereon, unless and until the Supreme
Court shall hold that provision Of law
to be Unconstitutional.
'The same question is involved in
the Eldorado and Ryerson cases which
were argued in the Supreme Court
some weeks ago. A decision in these
cases undoubtedly will settle the gen.
eral question. In view of the severe
penalties provided by law for false
and fraudulent income tax return, tax
payers are warned not to omit from
their returns for the year 1920 such
gains and profits"

The Navy Bill.

Congressman Patrick H. Kelley of
Michigan, Chairman of the subcom-
mittee or appropriations that has
framed the annual Navy supply bill,
has reported that measure to the
house. 1t carries total of about
1896, 900, 900, which is s3s 100000 less
than the amount appropriated for the
current year, and S2S4 100000 less
than the total estimate of the Navy
Department. The bill provides for an
enlisted personnel of 100000, which
is somewhat of reduction from the
present enlisted force. The committee
believes that every one Of the $500
trained officers now in the service
should be retained to form the nucleus
of an emergency force if needed. The
Naval bu;lding program will continue
as before, the bill making possible a
monthly expenditure of s7,500,000 for
that purpose. Chairman Kelley stat
ed that he has had a conference with
Presidont-elect Harding, and that the
latter favored the policies contained
in the measure. ave have drafted

the aim Of maintaining the potential
strength of the navy so it can be

BIG INCREASE IN VALUE
OF FARM PROPERTY

The value of farm land and build
ings in Colorado on January 1, 1920,
was S877,713,76O compared with
$408,51S,s61 in 1910. according to pre-
liminary reports of the federal census
bureau, as compiled by the State I'm
migration Department. This is an in

the census bureau as one of the larg-
est increases shown by any strictly
rural county in the United States. The
value of farm lands and buildings in

State Lands Subject TO Lease.

According to information received
by this office from the State Board
of Land Commissioners, there is con-
siderable acreage of School lands in
this county at the present time that
is not under lease. This land is all
valuable either for grazing or agricul-
tural purposes, ard we feel there must
be some of our people who would be
interested in these lands. If anyone
is interested, further information, to-
gether with application blanks, can
be had by addressing the State Board
of Land Commissioners, Denver Colo.

CAPITAL CHAT
Price Fixed Wheat

Washington, Feb. 22.-(Special cor
respondence) )-The plight in which the
farmers of the country find them
selves is due primarily to the Wilson
administration, in the opinion of Sem
ator Porter j. McCumber of North
Dakota. The Democratic Congress
fixed the price of wheat at 1921 a
bushel, while in other commodities the
law of supply and demand was per-
mitted to take its course. Had that
law been allowed to work on grain as
it did on other things, Mr.. McCumber
declares the price of wheat would have
reached So bushel. The result of
the Government price-fixing of wheat
was that the farmer had to pay in
ordinate prices for everything he used,
but was arbitrarily held down in the
price he could charge for his own
product. Mr.. McCumber contrasts the
attitude of the. Wilson administration
toward the farmer with the positinI.
it took toward the workers in Ulner
industries of no more Importance in
the prosecution of the war than ag-
riculturc.
"The Government yielded to every
strike where ships were being pro-
duced for the support of the Govern
ment," asserts Senator McCumber,
"and where munitions were being pro-
duced for the support of the Govern
ment. The Government yielded to
every demand, no matter whether there
was justification or not. A strike
would be inaugurated one day, and
Immediately after the administration
granted the increase demanded the
same people would strike the next day,
and the price would be raised and
raised and raised again; and just as
prices went up efficiency went down"

HENRY STARR DEAD
Bandit After Long Career of Crime
and Alleged Reformations Killed
by Bank Cashier.

The notorious Henry Starr bandit
and quarter blood Cherokee Indian,
has at last met the fate which is the
usual reward of career of crime. He
went to the well once too often when
he attempted to rob the bank at Har-
rison, Arkansas. He with three COM
panions forced the cashier to go into
the vault to hand out the money to
them. but he had rifle hid there for
Just that purpose and handed Starr Il
bullet that went home and from the
effects of which he died yesterday
Starr. had career of bank and train
robberies and other hold ups that cx-
tended to the states of Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, Kansas, Texas and once in
Colorado. In the summer of 1908 our
present popular assessor, A. J. Davy,
who was then cashier of the bank at
Amity went to the window to attend
to the wants of two strangers and
suddenly found himself looking into
the business end of what appeared to
be cannon. He cashed it with all
the money in sight and formed a dis
taste for the banking business right
there. He soon after Joined the as
sessor's office as deputy and has been
in that line of business ever since. 1t
is much pleasanter to assess others
than to be levied upon with u six shoot
er. Starr and his companion, Wilson,
went rs far as the cedars and boldly
sent out "at home" cards to the sheriffs
of three states, but none of the officers
of the law seemed to be in social
frame of mind so they received no
calls. That fall Prowers county elect
ed John A. Simpson as sheriff, u new
man without any press agent, and he
took the oath of office in January,
1909. Word had gone out that Starr
had snoved to Arizona and surround
ed himself with n gang of gun men.
Simpson announced he was going af-
ter him and of the twenty-five other
sheriffs in Kansas, Arkansas and Ok
lahoma who also wanted Starr, all but
twenty-five were perfectly willing to
go with him. He therefore went alone
and brought Starr back in handcuffs
to the Prowers county jail. He was
sentenced to the Colorado penitentiary
and served several years Of his term
when under the so-called beneficent
rule of Mr.. lyman he was turned
loose under parole to continue his car
eer of crime. He lived in Prowers
county few months and then skipped
from Holly with another mans wife.
He robbed many more banks in Okla
homa, served one short term in the
penitentiary there, shortened because
he made the same talk of reformation
he did here, and as soon as he was
out began over again and kept it up
until he finally got what was coming
to him.
In all his career of crime covering
many counties in five states with his
location practically always known
there never was but one officer of the
law that went out looking for him
and he outbluffed Mr.. Starr and took
him from among his own gang with
out fight and brought him across
three states for trial at Lamar

COLORADO FARM BUREAU
Relief Work.

Pcnrose, Colo, Feb. 17.-When
President j. r. Howard of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation offered
corn free for the starving population
of Europe of the other industries
would transport it, he started move
ment that is assuming such gigantic
proportions that it now seems certain
that the starving people on every part
of the globe will receive food from
the surplus which the American farm
er is so generously offering.
When the farmers offer became
known the Railway Brotherhoods Of
fered to furnish engine and train
crews to handle the grain in solid
trainloads free. The U. S. Shipping
Board is expected to offer ships free
to transport it to the foreign ports
and the u. S. Naval Reserve will no
doubt man the ships free. The rail-
roads will undoubtedly make some
concession on their equipment SO that
this grain under present arrangements
will reach the starving people with
very iitlteeepx ETAOIN eyseemltrrN
very little expense to the relief or
ganizations.
According to present plans the var
ious relief organizations will be able
to handle so million bushels of corn
instead of one million bushels as at
first planned.
Farmers in every section of the U.
s., not to be outdone by the corn
growers, are offering free all kinds
of farm products that can be trans
ported and the relief organizations are
equipping themselves to take care of
these products. Condenseries, Cream
cries. Packers and others will no
doubt aid in getting them in such a
form that they can be shipped to best
advantage.
The work has developed so rapidly
that President Howard has placed Carl
S. Vrooman in charge of all the re-
lief work for the American Farm
Bureau Federation, with headquarters
in Mr.. Howard's office at 5 S. Wabash
Avenue, Chicago. Mr.. Vrooman is
donating his time and energies to this
work free and is allotting the farm
ers' donations to the various relief or
ganizations as they are equipped to
take care of them. Under the present
plan, most donations of grain are ship
ped intact to the stricken area before
being milled so that all of the by
products can be used there.
ColoradO's Opportunity.
Colorado now has an opportunity to
perform service for humanity by
taking part in this movement. 1t is
safe to assume that the farmers of
Colorado will respond with any sur
plus produce that they have available.
Plans are already under way to per-
feet an organization to carry on this
work on a state wide basis.

Demonstration.
What is demonstration in Christian
Science? 1t is the practical proof of
Gods power and presence, resulting
in moral and physical healing. BY
way of illustration: Suppose that a
Christian Scientist reads in the morn
ing papers that some dreaded disease
Is about to make its appearance in his
community; that it has already
claimed it's thousands of victims, and
that materia medica is unable to cope
with it. What does he do? He i'm
mediately reverses sense testimony
by striving to realize that the one
Mind, God, is everpresent and all
powerful, and governs the entire uni
verse in perpetual peace and har-
mony; consequently. that there are no
evil minds to believe in disease nor to
fear 1t; that there is no evil power to
mesmerize anyone into believing
what is untrue. He knows that di-
vine Love is supreme; that it casts
out all fear. He persists in abiding
in this secret pleace of the omnipo-
tence and omni-presence of good and
what is the result? He remains fear
less and strong; he escapes the de-
vastating scourge himself, and he
helps many others to recognize the
nothingness of fear and hypnotic sug-
gestion. This is Emmanuel, God with
u.s. or demonstration.
Christian Science Treatment.
Treatment in Christian Science
means doing something for the sick

with poisonous drugs, and then wait

for months, to see whether they get
