COLORADO RIVER DEDUCTIONS

Just before the Colorado River
Commission adjourned at Cheyenne,
Wyoming the other day, Secretary
Hoover made the following state
ment:
with this meeting the present
session of the commission will
stand adjourned. 1t is proposed that
the commission will reassemble
some time in the latter part of July
or early in August at some point in
the basin, by which time it will
have been possible to have 'digested
and come to some conclusion with
respect to both facts and opinions
that have been presented. It ap-
pears to me that some four or five
different principles for the formula
tion of pact have been advanced,
and we have heard vast amount of
argument pro and con- Out Of these
principles somewhere we should be
able to formulate some sort Of an
agreement.
81 think every member of the
commission realizes fully that this
is no argument between seven men
that this is an agreement between
seven States and the national gov
ernment; that each member of the
commission only represents what
may be the concensus of public
opinion in those areas. if we are to
secure the ratification of such a
pact. 1t. however, requires that pub
lie opinion in each one of the States
shall be enlightened and it will re-
quire time in which to do it.
"There is a sad lack of under
standing of even the most funda-
mental engineering facts in the re-
lation of the upper basin to the low
er basin There is general tend
ency even on both sides to obstruct
by mental deliberation the import
ance of engineering facts, as they
lean both ways, or either way: but
in time the relative weight of the
rights of each of the States, the rel
ative weight of the different engin
eering principles involved, the rela-
tive weight of the different legal
processes that may follow from fail
ure to make a pact, will all contrib
ute to drive these State together
with the national government to
some solution.
Before adiourning | wish to ex-
press the obligations of the COM
mission to the people of the six
States that we have visited for their
hospitality. We are especially obli-
gated to Gov. Carey. to Gov. Shoup,
to Gov. Mabey, to Gov. Mechem, to
Gov. Campbell and to Gov. Boyle.
and / wish to express my personal
obligation to my fellow members on
the commission for the fine spirit
that they have shown and the great
ability that they have brought to
bear on this problem, and l am con-
fident that with a representation OF
this character we will be able to
present some sort of a pact in sim
pie terms that will promote the de-
velopment of the Colorado River
Basin"
Frank Emerson, State Engineer of
Wyoming, addressed the commission
pointing out that it was impossible
to do anything without compromise.

MINING CONDITIONS
(By r. T. Leonards)

AS the new year advances, there
is to be noticed a definite improve
ment of the gold mining industry
in nearly every gold bearing region
of the West. This change for the
better has come about partly be-
cause the natural possibilities of the
industry have asserted themselves,
and partly because Of important dis
coveries of valuable ore bodies in
old and new fields. Lower labor and
supply costs have created a natural
increase in the profits of gold min
ing, and it has again become posi-
BILE to operate many properties that
were compelled to shut down dur
ing the war. Important discoveries

SURPRISES and Dividends.
(Rrattlehnrn Phoenixl

According to Wall street authority,
there is an interesting reason back
of the stock dividend declared by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and anticipated dividends in many
other corporations.
An oil specialist explains that con-
gress has to find some new way OF
raising revenue and is likely to try
taxing the surplus of corporations
It happens that great many corpo-
rations have large SURPRISES held
against a rainy day. 1t happens also
that the supreme court has held that
stock dividends are not taxable
Wherefore there is going to be a new
crop of stock dividends which may
rival the bumper crop of couple of
years ago.
Incidentally there is a boom in oil
securities generally, although wall
went up last summer that the refining
companies were all losing money. 1t
seems to pay trusts to get busted y

This Restless Era.
(Northfeld News.

On Sunday afternoons on the lead
ing automobile routes within driving
distances of any good-sized city, one
observes long professions of automo-
biles tearing around the country
many running at high rates of speed
some getting smashed up. The vast
number of people thus engaged shows
the intense dislike of the age fol-
quiet, and it's keen desire for motion
and something new.
Up to certain point it is health
full tendency. 1t gives people fresh
air and needed change and may or
the whole be a physical benefit. II
people would indulge in such a diver
sion in moderation it would be wholly
helpful.
But when it breaks up family life
and simple pleasures and habits OF
reading and reflection, when it leads
people to give up walking habits
needed for health, the benefits be-
come questionable.

With the activity of prohibition
agents and customs men in this sec
tion of the state at present, and the
known straight hold-ups and attempt
ed hold-ups of highwaymen, would it
not be a good thing for officials to
display their badge when asking au-
toists to stop, or at least to show
their authority before starting to
search cars. Considerable complaint,
just or unjust, has been heard about
authorities who make no display of
their badge until asked to do so by
the parties stopped. This paper is
not one which believes cars should
not be held up promiscuously and
searched if officers believe this the
best way to stem the smuggling tide,
but it does believe that there is rea-
son in asking that officials make their
authority known to those whom they
hold up Immediately upon stopping a
car, and not make it necessary for
the occupants to ask to see his au-
thority.

Vermont Agricultural Interests.
BARRE TimeS1

1t has been found that Vermont, of
all the New England states, showed
an increase in acreage of improved
farm land in the decade from 1910 to
1920, the Vermont rate of increase
being three per cent, whereas the
losses in the other five states of the
geographical division ran as high as
twenty per cent. 1t is disquieting
that such large territory as that in
the New England division outside of
Vermont should show a loss in i'm
proved land; but, on the other hand,
it is encouraging that Vermont should
show a gain because Vermont, being
quite largely an agricultural state,
would, perhaps, be the first to feel
the effects of the swing back to agri-
culture and Vermont's trend may be
indicative of somewhat general
movement that will become pronounc-
ed in other states later on. From a
purely Vermont standpoint, the sta
tistics of the state are very crafty

Jay Peak day, Friday last, proved
to be the coolest day of the season
with two or three inches of snow on
the ground. But that fact did not
dampen the enthusiasm created for
the event and nearly 100 people
climbed the peak and about SO men
from different parts of the country
gathered at Newport to hear the
speakers who had come from New
York, Boston and different parts of
Vermont, tell of the pleasures and
profits of mountain development. The
day set was rather too late and turn
ed out to be too severe in it's weather
elements to induce large crowd with
comfort to listen to a program, but
the last of Jay Peak day and Jay
Peak has not been heard. Next June
will probably see monster Jay Peak
day and plans will be carried for
ward to make this mountain a point
of interest throughout northeastern
Vermont and peak to be visited by
tourists from all sections of the coun-
try.

The Orleans County Farm Bureau
federation held it's annual meeting at
Irasburg last week and anyone who
attended it could not fail to note the
strength thi is organization h s
gained by comparison with some of
the early meetings of this organiza-
ito. The membership fee and the
number of members now makes the
organization one which must be rec
koned with. One of the special SUBJ
jects taken up at the meeting was the
matter of farm taxation and it will
not be many years before Vermont
will find itself face to face with a
change in taxation methods and pol
icies which shall tend to tighten the
tax burden of the farmer to some ex-
tent. Some tax students for several
years have pointed out the fact that
every acre of land, every head of
stock, every ton of hay and every
bushel of produce the farmer has is
in plain sight and finds it's way into
the list, while many another business

which return to the owner an income

speaker was that of a $4,000 farm

Let's Have Steel Roads in Vermont
(The Pathfnder)

Even concrete and other frst-class
modern highways, though costing up
to $4,000 mile or more, are by no
means permanent. The road problem
has not been solved yet and it is one
of the biggest problems facing the
country. 1t has sometimes been pro-
posed that wide, fiat rails or strips
of steel be imbedded in the roadways
for the wheels of vehicles to run on,
but for various reasons this plan has
never been adopted in general prac-
tice. Joseph Hickson, of Mt. Gilead,
Ohio, has recently patented a road
way of this sort, and he is trying to
secure it's adoption. There is nothing
patentable on the general idea of a
steel roadway and it may be that
some such type of road will have to
be developed in order to stand under
the tremendous strain of modern traf-
fic.

to the owner bare living, set in the
list perhaps at $4,000. A business
in town inventoring $4,000 and set in
the list at $4,000, does an annual
gross business of $4,000 or $4,000,
and gives it's owner a $4,000 net pro-
fit. Is the same tax on the two bust
nesses just to the farmer? That is
a vital question and one which the
farmers will some day come forward
to adjust. Organization of the farm
er can and will accomplish such ad-
justments. Separately the farmer
cannot hope to remedy such matters

Farm Failures.
(Stanstead. P. c.. Journal)

(Stanstead, P. O., JournaD
Farm failures are on the increase
and the end is probably far ahead.
Nearly all of the failures are where
the farm buyer has contracted to pay
two or three times what the property
is worth, and in many cases is unable
to meet the interest, say nothing
about payments on principal. Pres
ent conditions relative to this are
largely chargable to the real estate
brokers. The rank and file of these
men have an eye single to their COM
mission; the seller and buyer are the
horns and tail of the deal and the
broker has the vantage position on
the milking stool Often in these
cases the amount paid down at time
Of purchase is not sufficient to insure
he seller against loss through faulty
and prodigal operation of the farm by
the buyer. There has been case aft
er case where the amount paid down
would not cover the personal proper
ty. However, the remedy will proba-
bly, come through the abuse of privi-
leges.
