SIGHT AT kATALLA FOR STUPID nOUTSlDERS"

Mir, Greene shared the amazement
 of his visitor concerning the stupid ity of "outside" investors in pouring money into the coffers of wildcat oil promoters who really have nothing to sell except "hot air." while an oil wonder like that at Katalla lies un- developed, with gushers undoubtedly somewhere in the vicinity. He told how the tundra conld be removed and the surface shale kicked out with the heel of a boot and the rich oil seeping up, forming a pool. If some of the oil-mad investors out side could see such sight, he said, their capital might flow this way to good purpose.
 Mir. Greene, who has been in AL aska nearly thirty years, confidently expects new oil development at ka-
 talla this summer, and progress gen. orally. He shares the general hope that President Harding and his party will come north, not disappointing the Alaskans, and that excellent re- suits in legislation will follow the presidents personal observations. Alaska is too big, however, and its problems are too vast and con-
 plex for any one man. or party of men, to see in a brief time what is needed" he said. "They can help
 tremendously, however. The great need here and everywhere in Alaska
 is capital-more of what is commonly
 called the Guggenheims' or organ ized capital-powerful corporations,
 by special Inducements to make mon-
 ey and open up new sources Of
 wealth, giving employment to people,
 building towns, railroads. public im-
 provements, doing the primary foun-
 dation work which individuals cannot
 do."
 BRILLIANT DEMONSTRATION
 OF POWER OF CAPITAL
 Ill Lue COruOVd ulSlIlCl, SdlO MI. Greene, "the Guggenheims" have giv-
 en a permanent demonstration of the power of capital combined
 with brains to transform a wilderness
 into thriving community. While the Hills and Harrimans were build ing such follies as the Des Chutes railroad through the central Oregon desert wastes, he agreed, "the Gug- genheims" were spending an equal amount of money in the construction of a splendid railroad to reach the richest copper mine in the world and at the same time open up a treasure field of fabulous value to America and the world. The beautiful city of Cordova itself is a living part of the demonstration, he said, adding that development had only begun.

NEWLAMP BURNS
 94% AIR
Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz- ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. s. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise--no pumping up, is simple, clean. safe. Burns 94@a air and 6H common kerosene (coal-oiD.
 The inventor z, B. Johnson, 2s N. Fifth St., Portland. Ore. is offering to send a lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him to- day for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make s25O to $500 per month.

Parley at Genoa.

MOSCOW, Jan. 22.-The Russia
which will be represented at the
world economic conference in Genoa
in March will be very different from
the Russia which by reason Of it's
Bolshevist principles has been
isolated by the other nations. ac-
cording to George Tchitcherin. min
ister Of foreign affairs.
The soviet government has done
complete about face since IL first
announced its intention OF remodel

The new Russia is much tanned and
chastenod.
Russia has abandoned her de-
signs for . world revolution. and
will go 10 Genoa to search for the
pleace Of all nations" Tchitcherin
said. Russia desires to cooperate
with every agency in reconstruct
ing Europe and restoring interna-
tional equilibrium.
Tchitcherin expressed regret az
the present policy of Secretary n
State Hughes whereby the United
States advises governmental isola-
tion of Russia, refusing to recognize
the soviet as a government He
declared that in adopting this atti-
tude Hughes must have been de-
ceived by dollar chasers"
The present international situa'

Paris to Send 4
Notes to Britain
Insists Reparations Will Not
Be Discussed at Genoa
Conference. ~

PARIS, Jan. 22.-Premier Poin-
care had prepared four notes which
will be dispatched to the British
government tomorrow, 1t is under
stood. They deal with the Euro
pean political and economic situa-
tion.
The first concerns the Genoa con-
ference and will demand written
confirmation of the principle tina,
reparations will not be discussed at
the meeting, and hoping" that il
Germany is admitted to the pro-
posed consortium, the profits accru-
ing will apply to her war debts.
The second regards the Franco
British alliance. but leaves the sub
ject for later discussion in full.
The third explains France, no.
sition regarding the French treaty
with the Turkish nationalist gov
ernment at Angora. and the fourth
touches upon the Tangier question.
France will propose the information
alizing of the. port of Tangier, and
measures to safeguard the. rights of
the sultan of Morocco.

Reichstag in Tax Wrangle
With Only Five Days Grace
Socialists Unwilling to Accept Compulsory
Internal Loan in Lieu of Partial
Con6scation.

party Is pressing the Socialists TO
accept as a comprimose a compul-
sorry internal loan. instead of partial
confiscation of real property, as
urged by the Socialists.
This plan. upon which the labor
unions are insisting, provides for
the arbitrary placing OF mortgages
of 20 per cent upon all real prop
erty. While the Socialist ministers
in the cabinet as well as a large
part of that faction in the Reichstlg 8
are understood to be willing to ac-
ccpt the compromise, all fear the
opposition of the independents as
well as the workers within their
own ranks, because the compulsory
loan rfan is hot regarded as an
equitable substitute. This is espe-
cially true since the Centrists adj
NIT the new loan can not be issued
before the declarations on the new
taxes are known. This will. not be
for more than 8 year
Meantime tho workers are suffer
ing more than any other class, as
the proposed indirect taxes do not
in any measure reduce their bur-
den. While the Centrist press has
repeatedly declared that COM
promise has been agreed upon, the
Socialist press sharply denies this.
The Socialist papers add that the
situation is such that the other
parties may be greatly surprised II
they continue to oppose the Social
ist demands. Some go so far as to
hint that the Wirth cabinet may
fall.

SOLUTION OF FARM
PROBLEMS TASK
OF CONFERENCE
Agriculture Bears More
Than It's Share of De-
flatiOn Burden.

The national agricultural confer
ence, which convenes here. today.
will seek ways to remeay a situa-
ton which forces the farming in
dustry to bear more than its share
of the burden of price readjustment.
The farmers problem, in a nut
shell. is this: Prices he receives are
back nearly to prewar levels and
are below production costs, while
prices he pays for everything he
needs remain inflated.
The causes which brought about
the situation are overproduction,
restricted credit. high freight rates,
lack of foreign demand and the
general depression. The depression
and the burdens OF the economic
change were passed on back until
they reached the soil. and they
could not be shifted any further.
So the farmers are hardest hit.
Vital Factor in industry.
The conviction gradually has
grown in all quarters that until the
farming industry is on its feet there
could be no general business and
industrial revival. This is because
40 per cent of the population are
directly, dependent on the soil, and
when their purchasing power dis
appears, the effects are felt in ev-
cry quarter. The conference. there
fore, is held to he as vital to the
manufacturer and the business man
as to the farmer.
1t is not to be expected that the
conference will have any sudden
or far-reaching effects. 1t will
take more than speeches and talk
to remedy the foreign exchange
situation. And the surplus of food
stuffs will not vanish. But !. can
bring out the need for certain
changes that will ameliorate the
situation.
Problems TO BE Solved.
1t is safe to predict that the con.
ference will do these things:
1. Ask for lower freight rates.
2. Recommend an extension of the
credit facilities Of the farm lant
and farm loan banking systems.
3. Suggest improvements in meth.
DDS of marketing.
4. Seek ways to make it possible
for foreign buyers to obtain credit
for the purchase of foodstuffs.
5. Endeavor to find out why the
ultimate consumer pays so mucf
more for soil products than thu
farmer receives.
