Court Orders c. p. Russell to
Pay Amount Admitted to
Be Unreasonable.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Dec. 19.-
Brought 10 trial for failure to pay
his city license for practicing law.
Cedric p. Russell, practicing attor.
ney here for fifteen years. lost his
fight to have the tax sdjudged un-
reasonable and was ordered by
Police Justice Duvall to make the
payment Immediately.
Russell's tax was fixed at 500. so
and. on his refusal to pay, City
Manager wilder M. Rich swore out
Q warrant for his arrest two weeks
ago. Russell. represented by At
torney Albert v. Bryan, declared
that his gross income for prac-
ticing In Alexandria was 1895.
from which he had to pay all In
cidental expenses. He said that
the tax represented an entire
months income and was therefore
entirely unreasonable.
Citing the fact that In Richmond
lawyers taxes were per cent of
the income and IN Lynchburg the
tax on . $500 to $1,000 income
- SIS, while the tar in Alexandria
two years ago was only SIS, he
asked Justice Duvall to declare the
tax unreasonable and void.
City Attorney N. Noel Garner
declared that. although the tax
may b unreasonable" II 10 not In
the Jurisdiction OF the police court
to decide this point. but merely to
determine the question Of guiit or
innocence.
Justice Duvaii said that In his
opinion the tar was Extremely
Unreasonable" but that he had M
Jurisdiction over the law. He
found Russell guilty. but fixed no
penalty and required no -bond. or.

COOPERATIVE Farm Marketing

Tho cooperative farm marketing bill, which
signed by President Harding yesterday, presented
avowedly in the interests Of the farmers 1t will per-
init the producers of farm and garden products TO
tablish what are, in effect little "tru.ts''as that
word is commonly used And if trusts, so-caled-arc
bad they generally supposed to be, this per-
missve restraint of trade operate TO increase the
price of food and clothing to the ultimate
The probability is that the law will have the o
posite effect Instead Of adding to the bill
the grocery and the clothing store the law is
likely TO reduce the cost of living generally.
The bill j. proposed by the farmers friends in con-
gross, not TO enable the producers to make in
ordinate profit but rather to give them the reason
able Of price large enough to compensate
them for their labor and their investment Unless this
is done the farmer continue produce regularly
the things that necessary for the consumers in the
cities And the result Of undeproducon would be that
the consumers would have to pay much higher prices
than will he necessary in order to return fair compen-
sation to the farmers.
It is much important for the consumer to have
regular supply of vegetables grains, meats wool and
cotton sufficient quantities and at moderate prices
than it is to get these things for year two at less
than the actual cost Of production.
II is not certain, moreover that better prices to the
farmer will mean higher cost to the consumers. A
limited experience in cooperative marketing by the pro
ducers indicates that this method tends toward the
elimination of the profits of the middleman to con-
siderable degree. The mddlcman is entitled TO pay for
his services, long it is service. But when the
mddleman exacts unfair compensation for what he
does he is n profteer and when he specuates in the
necessaries of life using the necessities of the in
order TO fill his purse he is highwayman In prln-
eirle il not according TO the letter of the law.
There is good for thinking that the plan of
operative farm marketing, as permitted by the new
Law will add TO the amount and the assurance of the

In Denver Yesterday they held Tag day for c1servcs
men.
How do you like that idea?
It was splenddly organised by women whose motives
were unimpeachabe and it carried thru to success
in a manner that reflected credit upon all concerned
And tho ex-service deserved all, and moro than
was obtained from this "Have Heart" campaign
How would it seem to visitor from Mars, for In
stance to be told that the ladies Of great and wealthy
city stood the street corners aud begged niekss and
dimes for the veteran heroes Of the world warf
Probably the Denver veterans needed the money, OF
the ladies would have impored passing stranger.
TO Have Heart Unquestionably those who planned
the campaign had the highest motives. No doubt the
contributors glad give for such purpose, As the
people of any other American city would have been
clad to give, under like circumstances.
And yet
What the veterans want, and what they ought te
have is not charity but justice. The obligation to thu
veteran is not be discharged by buying for nicks
or more at the street badge that cxempts one
from further solicitation.
Give TO the man who is willing to work the job thai
i, his right and to the ncapacitatcd veteran the re
habitation that his due and it will not be necessary
in any American city to ask anyone to Have (nickei'
worth of Heart at the street corner.

Republicans All

Friday events Denver valid cause Of satisfac
lion to all good Republicans in Colorado.
An active contest for party honors, in a committee
meeting, convention primary is not necessarily
matter of harm of regret, altho there is always
tendency to exaegerate the Importance of such
tests.
The chairman Of the Republican state central
committee George h Shaw of Fort Collins, is active
young attorney who has already enviable rePu
taon in political affairs He will enter upon the duties
Of his position under favorable conditions and he will
have the hearty and united support of all those who
sincerely desire Republican success next November
John F. Vivian, who the unsuccessful competitor
for the state leadership of the party is too we'll and too
favoraby known in Colorado for anyone to doubt his
sincerity in pledgng, for himself and his followers,
full Of support to Chairman Shaw, and un-
swervng loyalty to the Republican
On tho day the annual banquet of the Lincoln
club set high water mark for party enthusiasm
and loyalty. DR.. John w. Hill gave address that
universally judged to be Of the best public
speeches delivered in this state, and it we'll
matched by the speech of Mrs. Nellie B. Miller, of
Colorado Springs, in expressing the desires Of the
twenty thousand club women Of Colorado.
Whatever may have been their opinions before these
meetings. the generally expressed sentiments Of
the campaign of 1922 had opened most auspicously
continuation Of the spirit Of harmony party loyalty and
sincere devotion the best interests of all the people OF
all the sate cannot fail to bring Republican

The Basis Of the New Tariff

The senate committee has made very serious mistake
in attempting substitute the foreign valuation Of i'm
ported goods instead of the American valuation, pro-
posed by tho house Of the basis for the
tariff law There good arguments on both sides,
and under ordinary circumstances it is altogether prob
able that the foreign valuation plan would have been
continued without serious question.
But the present circumstances not at all ordinary,
and it is difficult to how any tariff based upon the
value in the country Of production give adequate
protection to American manufacturers and wage earn
under present conditions
Moreover there will be . very serious difficulty under
the foreign valuation plan in equalixing the tariff
between the various foreign countrss and under that
plan the discrimination will be in favor of the nation
that pays the lowest wages and that is. in this and
other ways the most dangerous competitor OF the
American
There is yet another reason why the senate has
blundered in refusing accept the American valuation
plan as approved by the house. There is imperative
need Of prompt action for the protection Of American
industry and the dissenting action Of the Senate COM
mittee may = serious Inolongaton OF debate and
consequent delay in the passage Of the bill This will
be very much the satisfaction Of all those who
deriving profit from the importation Of foreign made
goods. but it will not hasten the return Of American
prosperity or e4ve employment to American wage
