Taxation.

At recent meeting of the execu-
one hundred, the Colorado State Farm
Bureau was represented by President
J. ID. Pancake and f. X. Bliss, clair
man of the taxation committee. Mr..
Pancake and two other men were ap-
pointed to submit to the committee of
one hundred, a statement of the aims
and purposes Of the committee. Some
of the things to be recommended from
farm bureau standpoint are:
Am income tax that will not Sc
cure more taxes but more taxpayers,
thus equalizing the tax burden; taxes
SO raised to be subject to the same
limitations as at present.
2-Incomes derived from property
already taxed to be given due consid-
Grafton.
3.-Tncomes below one thousand dol
lars are not to be subject to tax
Am income tax law that will
adequately safeguard the constitution
al rights of every citizen.
The Colorado State Farm Bureau
is seeking a tax revision program that
will relieve the excessive burden now
carried by the farmer at the same
time insuring justice to everyone, and
is now helping to finance the commit
tee of one hundred as means to this
end.

Salvation of Beet Sugar Industry.

The Senate has approved an increase
in the sugar tariff to 2.3 cents per
pound which is compromise between
the 20 ddty urged by Louisiana cane
and western beet sugar producers, and
the 2 certs proposed by the house and
approved by finance committee.
If this compromise is finally estab-
lished il will mean that the western
beet sugar industry will be greatly en-
couraged.
1t will mean that our domestic beet
sugar industry which is of great value
to the vest, will be saved from ruin
Gus competition of cheap labor, foreign
produced sugar and it will mean that
domestic supply Of sufficient size
will be secured to save us from being
entirely at the mercy of the foreign
producer and speculator
Such duty will not shut out fore
ign sugar, it will simply give our
home product chance to secure q
share of the business at minimum
prices.

Successful Trip.

Chas. H. Wooden returned last Fri
day from six weeks visit to Akron,
Ohio, and other eastern auto supply
centers, where he has been endeavoring
to introduce Kriswood fixtures as a
necessary part of the equipment of all
auto supply stores. In spite of Char
ley's well known timidity the merits
of Kriswood were sufficient to break
down the steel bars that protect the
inner offices and presidents and gen.
eral managers and the letters arriv-
ing at company headquarters in La
mar indicate that Kriswood fixtures
will soon be national feature of all
well regulated supply houses. The
Lamar company will soon have big
place on the automobile supply map of
the country.

Lamar's Worst Hail Storm.

Our attention was called last Friday
to the fact that it was the 21st ami
versary of the Lamar territory's most
destructive hail storm. 1t was not the
largest stones as that storm occurred
five or six years later, but the 1901
storm covered an area of nearly two
hundred square miles right in the
heart of the Lamar irrigated territory
and literally wiped out all growing
crops. 1t was the year of Lamar's
first fair and SO great was the destruc-
tion that displays had to be purchased
and shipped in for the fair. It was
Lamar's first attempt also to get into
the cantaloupe business, and the dis
asterous result made our farmers feel
more enthusiasm even than before for
wheat ard alfalfa.

NEW DRAINAGE DISTRICTS
At Holly and Granada on Tuesday
Elections Resu tied in the Form
ing of New Drainage
Districts.

There were elections held yesterday
in two new drainage districts at the
order of the board of county commits
sioners and both resulted favorably
and the newly elected directors will
soon organize and proceed to work out
both of these important projects.
At Holly the district comprises sew
eral thousand acres right around Hol-
ly and extending west to Amity and
includes part of the town of Holly.
The citizens there have been working
for several years to get together on
the plans for this district, as the fu-
ture welfare of that thriving little city
is almost dependent on its successful
completion. That they are at last har-
monious and united is proved by the
fact that with fifty-nine votes cast
there was not one negative vote. 1t
is seldom that a proposition as large
as this one finds such universal favor.
Messrs. J. S. McMurtry, w. H. Shive-
ly and N. II. Geary were elected as
the first beard of directors.
At Granada on the same day an
election was held to vote on the or
ganization of the Granada Drainage
District covering land between Carl
ton and Barton and lying in the river
valley north of the Granada townsite.
Here again the people were united in
support of the proposition and out of
a possible sixteen votes thirteen were
cast and all favorable to the PROPOSE
ton. Messrs. E. H. Gerecke, II. NJ.
Noble and j. o. Stream were select
ed as the board of directors.
This district is also of great import
ance AMI means the redemption Of
many hundreds of acres Of land now
doing very little good owing to seep-
age.

COLORADO CROP VALUES
State Crops Will Pass the Hundred
Million Mark Again.

All farm, garden and orchard crops
in Colorado this year will have farm
value of slightly more than 100000
900, according to present indications,
ly will be prevailing prices at market
time. Production of most of the maj jor
crops grown in the state apparently
will be somewhat larger than last year
and production of potatoes, fruits and
market garden crops will be consider
ably higher than for 1921. Prices Of
staple field crops are much the same
as those of 1921, but prices of potatoes
and late orchard crops are not yet es-
tablished.
The value of all crops for the state
last year was about S91 100000. The
increase this year is due to increased
production, and would have been con-
siderably greater except for the de-
crease in acreage of sugar beets and
the decrease in price paid for beets
per ton. This decrease, however, is
more than made up by increase in
wheat, potatoes, fruits and market gar
den crops. The potato crop promises
to be the largest in the history of the
state, while the fruit crop also is ap-
parently record-breaker. Present in
dications also point to record pro-
duction of corn and grain sorghums.
Wheat again holds first place among
Colorado crops in acreage, with near
ly 100000 acres planted. Reports
of county assessors to the State I'M
migration Department show more than
1 100000 acres of winter wheat and
about 100000 acres of spring wheat,
and the reports are not complete. 1t
is not possible to estimate accurately
at this time what part of this has
been or will be harvested. Hay ranks
next to wheat in total acreage, when
all varieties of hay are taken togeth-
er. Corn holds third place.
According to the present outlook
wheat will also hold first place among
the states crop in total value, with
hay a close second. This will depend,
however, on final production of the
two crops and on the trend Of prices
for the next two months. The value
Of each crop apparently will be above
$40, ,000, 900.
Production of cabbage, lettuce, can
taloupes, celery and few other mar
ket garden crops promises this year
to be the largest in the history of the
state. Acreage devoted to all these
crops Is larger than ever before and
conditions generally are favorable to
large production. Unless strike condi-
tions interfere with the marketing Of
these crops farmers should realize
from them a larger income than has
ever come to the state from the sale
of its market garden crops.

Endeavor to Cope
With Smuggling

Copenhagen, Feb. 20.-Norway un-
dertook short time ago to extend
her territorial waters to ten miles
(instead of three miles) in an en-
deavor to cope with the organized
and ever increasing smuggling of
spirits into the country.
The extension meant that all ships
venturing inside the territorial wa
ters were subject to search by Nor
wegian customs officers empowered
to confscate any cargo of spirits and
under certain circumstances, author
lied to seize the ship.
Both Denmark and Sweden have
protested against the Norwegian eX-
tension of her territorial waters, and
certain other powers have notified the
Norwegian government that they will
not tolerate any search of ships fly
ing their flags and engaged in bona
tide trade.
These protests have resulted in an
amendment to the new Norwegian
law on territorial waters to the eff.
feet that only ships anchoring with.
in the ten mile limit are subject tc
search,

Farmers Urged to
Support Movement


York, Feb. 18.-"If the farmers of
South Carolina do not enthusiastically
support the movement now on foot to
organize and to put in successful op-
Grafton the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Marketing AS
sociation, they need never start an
other farmers movement because it
will be a failure" says J. H. B. Jen-
kins, Jr., vice president of the Peo-
pies Bank and Trust Co. of York in
d letter to w. B. Wilkerson, director
for western section of York county
in the cooperative marketing cam
paign.
Mr.. Jenkins letter was in reply to
one from Mr.. Wilkerson asking the
attitude of his bank towards the
movement. Mr.. Wilkerson wrote that
the banks in many counties of the
state were taking the initiative in the
movement and asked If Mr.. Jenkins
bank would favor it.
'In our opinion the proposed coop
erative marketing movement" contin-
ueed Mr.. jenkins "is the only move
ment that has ever been started by
the farmers that has ever hal teeth
to it. A cooperative association with
the proper andenthusiastc support
under honest and capable manage
ment, organized in South Carolina and
in the other cotton states will do
more to bring about and regulate or
derly marketing of cotton at a fair
profit than anything else that can be
done. Therefore, the Peoples Bank &
Trust Company strongly reco mmends
the organization of properly managed
Cooperative Marketing Association
and we unhesitatingly offer our facil-
tiles to this end.
1--WE have quite a number cf farm
ers among our stockholders. We num-
Der hundreds of farmers as patrons
and we are and will be just as willing
if not more so, to assist financially
farmers who are members of the as
sociation as those who are not. The
fact that the government through the
great War finance Corporation ant
the large financial institutions in The
money centers have endorsed coopera.
tive marketing associations and have
expressed willingness to extend, and
are already extending, financial assist,
ance in large amounts is in itself
evidence of the soundness of the prop
osition. 1t is a great pity that the
farmers Of South Carolina have not
long before now organized such an as
sociation. They would now be enjoy.
ing the great benefits that are being
enjoyed through associations already
organized in Texas, Oklahoma and
Mississippi.

this movement is not only standing in
his own light but is retarding the flu
ture development of the South"

themselves by farming.

Rose Of Washington Square"

Is Greenwich Village as black-or
as red-as it is painted? Much good
white paper has been utilized in the
last few years discussing the matter
pro and con. There are some who de-
clare that the carvings on in New
Iork's famous or infamous-Bo-
hemia would make Sodom and Gomor-
rah look like Epworth League pic
mic. They cite such affairs as the re-
cent New Years Eve ball in which
the mattresses were reputed to have
worn dimutive apron, slippers-and
that is all. Press reports are that the
~ houris who appeared at the stroke
of twelve in commemoration of the
advent of 1922 were even less protect.
ed from stray zephyrs and devouring
male eyes. On the other hand Green
wich Village is not without its defend
ers.
"Is the whole of Missouri to be in
dicted because Jesse James was a
native of the show me- common
wealth? Then why hold Greenwich
Village up to opprobrium simply be-
cause some libertines and their mis-
tresses seek notoriety by such deplor-
able escapades?" ?" Comment those
who uphold the fair fame of Manhat-
tan's Quarter Latin.
In "Rose of Washington Square"
partisans Of both sides have much in
proof Of their arguments. Possibly
this is one of the reasons for the un-
usal interest that has been displayed
in the impending engagement Of this
attraction at the Rialto Theatre on

England Loses Good
Will Of Egyptians

Alexandria, Egypt, Feb, 2o.-Eng-
land appears entirely to have lost the
good will of the Egyptians, both in
dividually and collectively, as a re-
~ult of the failure f the Anglo Egyp-
tan negotiations for a treaty and the
withdraw troops from this tcountry
Egypt is again quiet after the fail
III" of the revolution in December
and tourists may now come and go
without fear Of danger, but Egypt is
not in normal condition. Marshal
law is enforced and many newspa-
perS, including the leading English
daily, the Egyptian Gazette, have
been suspended for the publication of
criticisms of the policy Of the British
government.
The Egyptians are rcsentful over
what they characterize as offensive
language" of the memorandum sent
by General Allenby, the British High
Commissioner, to the Sultan notify
ing him that Egypt was link in the
British Empire and that her troops
could not be withdrawn.
Egyptians are indignant also over
the arrest and banishment of Zagh-
loul Pasha and other Nationalist
leaders and exceedingly angry oyer
the deaths inflicted during the Christ
mas revolution.
In order to prevent Zaghloul's fol-
lowers from using that indispensable
weapon of modern revolutions, mon
ey, Lord Allenby has issued mill
tary decree directing that no bank in
Egypt shall pay out any funds be-
longing to Zaghloul Pasha, or to the
Nationalist party, Of which he is
president, without the permission of
the High Commissioner.
