Committee Of the whole House believes
that the work Of assessing the whole IS
land is too great a task to impose mo
one man. and that the Committee has
formulated a committee Of five men to do
this work. An ordinance similar to the
m now under discussion and which was
introduced here two years ago has been
working in st. Thomas for the year 1922
and has not been found too great a task
for ore man to assess all the properties
in St. Thomas and st. John.
AS to expenses, the Tax Assessor is
appointed at $1,000 per year, his office
expense viii not exceed $500. If $1,000
is to be collected as the Honorable 2nd
Member IOr ChristiansJed Town has said,
the assessor, 10 Carrying out the duti-s
of his office in assessing the real proper
ties can, at the same time, assess the
personal properties also. The method
adopted i'm St. Thomas is to send out a
printed form asking the owner to give
such information a. would be OF "atue
to the assessor, and the assessor takes
this form in actual view in assessing.
He is not arbitrary. 1t is difficult to ask
the Colonial Council to visualize the
work, but | venture to say that in one
year after the law has been put in opera
ton the man in the street will have a
great familiarity with the tax he has to
pay. AS | previously stated it is the
fundamental principle Of the Govern
ment of the Virgin Islands that personal
property be liable to taxation as the real
property.

are al present 50 that as Few burdens
as possible should be placed on an al
ready struggling c0DmnirN, and as
much encouragement as possible given
to induce initiative and capital ID the
islands, for which reasons, the Com
mittee cannot recommend any Lax
whatever on personal property.
''On the other hand the Committee
considers it reasonable that everyone
possessing real estate located in the
community and who can thus be said
to control or hold its natural resources
should in due measure parJake ~ the
burdens of the community, and conIrl-
butte towards its upkoep and rpas0na
biz and necessary expenses.
For these reasOns the Committee
recommends the tax on real estate,
with due consideration given to the de
pIotabIa and depressed state of affairs
ruling in the jsIand oWiog to genera.
c0n4uiUns: and also with a view of IN
cograging industry by not placing an
undue lax burden; We recommend the
following am+ndments:'
The tax on personal property han

draws upon such nO]n-pr0ducjGg re

continuing the member said, 1t seems
that report that The ST. Thomas
Council passed the personal tax and are
now regretting it.. The reasoning OF the
Committee is in line with our reasoning.

possible for me TO pay. but | am not

transmitted 10 the United sta Pss geo

acres on Little Sage creek, tributary
10 the North Platte river and below
the Saratoga and Encampment irr!-
cation project.
Il is based On the cost OF water
storage in tho great Pathfinder reser-
voir, where 4 is calculated that all di'
visions consuming waters from the
territory tributary to the reservoir
should pay for one-half the value Of
storage which they reduce by con-
verting such water from permanent to
holdover storage. 1t is estimated that
holdover capacity in the reservoir is
worth approximately one-half Of the
value Of permanent OF "everyyyear"
capacity.
Under the terms OF the reclamation
act. the cost OF the reservoir is to be
returned to the pubic treasury on the
basis OF IS per acre-foot per annum
as provided BIZ the Warren act and II

ttons. The reason for this, Il was
said, wAs that after the Supreme
court had declared unconstitutional
the law taxing the net profits Of en-
ployers Of child labor the employment
of children increased to an alarming
extent. The federal law had had an
influence on the enforcement OF state
laws. On being declared void there
fore enforc ement was relaxed in the
states.
There is no question that should
appeal TO the hearts and minds of the
people Of our country like that of pro-
teeting children from exploitation, {"
said President Gompers after the
meeting. The members of the Per
manent Conference for the Abolition
of Child Labor are all earnest men

for the purpose of impressing upon

stitutfonal amendment should be APP

Representatives Of rs organizations OF

agreed to support In both houses of
the coming session of congress the
following amendment to the Coasti-

is also reserved to the several states

.FARMER-LAB0RITES
HOLD CONVENTION
Votes to Cooperate With Federated
Farmer-Labor Party, But Retains
State Identity as Farmer
Labor Party.
(state FederatIon euIIetIa.l

According to reports received al
Federation headquarters the state
convention OF the Farmer-Labor party
which was held at Everett last sSatur-
day and Sunday adopted motion to
cooperate with the Federated Farmer
Labor Party, but to retain dts ident-
ity in this state as the FaTmer-Labor
Party and to function as such. It was
further reported that approximately
104 delegates were In attendance
with a number of visitors, and that
only a very few OF the delegates were
representing unions and that despite
the fact that the convention was
held inSthe Labor Temple Of the city
of Everett that only one local union
Of Everett( the Moulders) was repre-
scented at the convention, and that
with the few union delegates from
Seattle and Tacoma and one or two
scattered places this constituted the
labor union representation.
According to the press reports the
convention endorsed the Toronto plan
of state ownership of hydro-electr1c
power in preference to the Bone Bill,
and selected Elmer Smith of Cen
tralia and S. H. Mason of Yakima as
the legal committee. Martin ]. Fly
xix of Seattle gave the principal adj
dress on Sunday. If the report Is cor
rect relative to the adoption Of a mo-
ton to cooperate with the Federated
FaFmer-Labor Party, they are now
committed to program of coopera-
ton with the Communists who thru
the Workers Party, gained control Of
the Federated Farmer-Labor Party at
its Chicago convention last July. Mr..
Flyzik was selected to conduct a can
vass Of the unions on behalf OF the
party while VIM. Bouck will direct
the canvass among the farmers, &C
cording to press reports. James A.
Duncan will continu as state chair
man and ]. c. Kennedy as secretary.

Cost Estimates.
On the estimates OF costs, do not
pretend to be in a position to per-
sonally make an accurate estimate
Mr. Empey and The World may be,
but don't believe they can estimate
as accurate as l can. However, Mr..
J. L. Stannard Is an engineer OF ma
tional repute. He has been engaged
in hydro-electrical development for
many years. Eighteen years ago
worked under him on the Cedar River
development for the city of Seattle.
He then had had years Of experience.
Mr.. Stannard states in his report that
the project can be built for not to ex-
coed $4,000, 900 and can probably be
built for some less than that.
Mr.. STANDARDS reputation is too
great 10 rlsk Tor the aDOVe statement
unless he personally knew it to be
true.
We are In need Of more water. Sup
pose we should take in Parker Creek
as Mr.. Empey suggests. Mr.. Empey
states that Parker Creek can be OBJ
tanned at a cost of $4,000, according to
Mr.. STANDARDS estimate made in 1915
when prices Of labor and materials
were less than half the present prices.
Parker Greek where we would tap 1t
is not as large as Stewart Greek. Mr..
Empey says 1t win last Is years. What
are we to do then? We will have lost
all chance for supply from the Wy
noOche. Are we at the end of Is
years to cease increasing? God for
bid. We must act now while we can.
