TAKES REAL
ISSUE
Leader of Senate Farm Bloc
Bitter ii Denouncing
Present Levy.
BY CARL i. TURNER,
Tnternational News Service.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 5.--Taxes
not the turmoil Of foreign nations.
nor transportation, nor even the
plight Of the farmer, ii the biggest
issue before the American people
Ut this time, III the words Of SEN
atOr Arthur Capper. Of Kansas.
The leader Of the Senatorial farm
bloc was bitter in his denuncia-
ton Of present taxes. which he
termed the white mans burden =
It is understood he win be in
the front line when the attack on
taxes and the movement for their
adjustment Is started iii Congress
following the report and recomHnen-
dations Of Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon early In December.
Taxes have not doubled since
1918, they have trebIed, the Kansas
farmer-edito Senator charges. and
he says they are still growing.
Last year, Senator Capper said,
taxes amounted to $64.68 for every
man, woman and child in the
United States, meaning $500 for
the average family which il said
TO consist Of the man. wife and
three children. In 1913 they were
$17.O7 per capita.
Six Weeks work.
1t took six ana d quarter weeks
work III 1922 to pay taxes. as
measured by income, according to
the Kansas Senator. In 1913 II
took only three and onethird
weeks.
sF'ifty-four billions Of dollars. al
most onefifth Of the entire coun-
try's wealth., Senator Capper says.
s.is now sinking this burden Of
over-taxatiOn. &c pays no taxes.
s'One-third Of all property, that
assessed under the general prop
erty tax bears the brunt Of this
crushing weight Of $4,000, 900 900
OF tax-free property In addition to
It's own taxes, and these have
been more than trebled in nine
years.
1T is not so hard to see why
taxes have trebled. Along with
this tremendous increase in taxes
Secretary OF the Treasury
Mellon says has hit the American
taxpayer harder than the English
taxpayer has been I1it-llas come q
marked decline ii the ratio Of real
and personal property with which
to pay them, compared with a
stupendous increase Of tax-exempt
property
Taxes ana FarHns.
The farm bloc leader took up
the relation Of taxes to the farmer,
using figures compiled by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
to show where the agricuIturisi
was hit by unfair taxation even
harder than his city brethren.
The farmers ratio or income tC
taxes was 1916 IN 1918, compared
with Al per cent for the rest 81
the community. Last year the
farmers ratio was 16.6--Other folks
11.9!
Forty 8 million warkers In this
country earn $50, O0O, 900, 900.
That is $3.50 apiece.
@Of this the Federal Government
takes $125 for taxes, or about {
months earnings, and local Gov,
eminent absorbs about $50 more.
Here again the farmer Ii hill
harder. Owing to deflation, Low
price Of his goods and high price
OF the products he must purchase
from others, the farmer finds al
taxpaying time he is working the
year round for the Government. !"

SUES WOMAN FOR DAMAGES
 WHEN REFUSES TO MARRY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-Not one cent less than one hrndred thousand dollars would compensate Arthur Geo. Jarvis, scion of British aristocracy for his disappointment and chagrin caus- ed by the refusal of rich Anna F. Gattman, part proprietor of great hosiery manufacturing company, to keep her promise to marry him.
 In Great Britain Jarvis is known un- der his title of Baron Scalsi. He is said to have courted the woman whose home is in Milwaukee, but who main tains winter establishment in Los Angeles, and a year ago she promised to become the Baroness Scalsi. Now Jarvis says he cannot go back and face the socially elect with whom he has been on terms of intimacy in Eng land without having at least s100,000 of the fickle woman's money to prove that he was mistreated.

|BOOzE CARGO GETS BY'

EVERETT, Wash, Jan. 16.-Five large automobiles loaded with liquor left Everett yesterday about midnight furnishing supply of joyjuice for Sc. attic. The liquor was landed nea: the Everett flour mills and loaded on to autos there. A Seattle man in Ev. e.ett telephoned to Portland that the toad was on the way.
 I he police version of the slip-up in official affairs was that on Wednesday night four prohibition officials were in Everett on watch for the shipment of liquor which had been tipped off to them. The police saw the federal off cers sinking along in the dark, and the prohibition agents saw the police. One of the federal prohibition agents leaped from the shadows and covered the police car with a shotgun. Three others followed him.
 Stop that car" he shouted.
 Whats the idea; we are police Of ficers," was the reply.
 While they officers were arguing and explaining the bootleggers loaded their autos and drove away

These are: Abolition of the g o'clock curfew law; unlimited beaux, callers and friends; social anc other gatherings when desired; and use until reasonable hour of the pia- no and photograph. It seems that dad did not realize his little girls had grown up and was riding herd on them as in pinafore days. Mother went out in sympathy.

THE FOLLY OF IT.


 Franco-German embodiment, which already has resulted in the letting of blood, looming on the horizon, a re' cur-ence of conditions existing a few years ago is likely.
 With the ghastly reminders of the late disturbance which involved near ly all of the globe scarcely buried an other periol of war horrors may be in the making; this time with China and Russia as the principal actors.
 Today in the Manchurian province men and weapons of war are aligned ready to let flow the blood which should be devoted to a nations up- building rather than sacrificed to the lust for power and acquisition of ter ritory.
 In all the history of the world there has never been conquest but what the victor has purchased his win nings with blood, far more precious than what was gained. The useless sacrifice of life; the suffering endured by innocents who must share the lot of the defeated; the cost of carrying on strife; the destruction of property, and, above all, the loss of national honor in promulgating the cause of battle have as yet to be balanced against the gain. The acquisition of territory can, and should be made, without the sacrifice of life. The num- Der of lives given to the cause of war during the past half century would more than populate some of the na- uons involved.
 Today the major portion of the world is struggling under a burden of debt incurred by the world war. None of the nations involved, without eX- ception, could afford the undertaking, and it was a foregone conclusion that the loser must pay the victor for the cost of conducting the conflict. As result, more than one prosperous na- ton is on the verge of bankruptcy; others are suing creditors for long time terms in which to repay the bill lions of money and credit obtained, ~ that the ends of war might be pro- noted Still other nations are srus> gling along under burden of debt which under the present chaotic con- diion gives no promise of being re- mitted to whom due.
 The work of years is lost by sin gle cannon shot Priceless contribu- tons to art education and literature are lost through the medium of mis- sie which costs an exceedingly small percentage of the value of the prop erty destroyed. The work of replac- nent costs more than the original construction and expenses must be borne by those who owing to being unfortunate in conquest must bear the burden.
 The work of enlightening civilization has been in progress for many ages, but in all that period there has never been a thought given to the annul- 1nent of war and it's causes. As civili- ration advanced so did the weapons of war by which one nation seeks to gain the supremacy over another. The time, money and effort devoted to war applied in the cause of advancement would have abrogated all cause or reason for bloodshed and place the en- tire universe upon a pedestal of peace.
 When men and nations learn that no good can ever come from strife then will the millennium be and until that time the useless sacrifice of life and property will continue.
 The folly of it all.

approximately 1900 square miles of

game refuge, established by procla-
nation of President Roosevelt during
his term of office, there is now be-
lieved to be the most abundant and
varied aggregation of large and small
game animals of any section Of the
United States proper. 1t is even stat

The road to the strip northerly
from Flagstaff goes to Tuba City on
the Navajo reservation, slsirting the
base of the San Francisco range, over
extensive lava flows, alternating with
rolling grass country. The Little Col
orado is crossed on the government
suspension bridge, at which point the
famous Painted Desert is entered. At
Tuba City, the Navajos use the wa
ters of the Moencopie wash to raise
crops of corn and vegetables, with
some fruit.
From Tuba City the road follows
the base of the red Echo Cliffs north
erly for about thirty miles to the
Buckskin mountains, which strike the
cliffs at right angles. Crossing the
range, the country slopes to the north
and the road again follows the base of
the Echo Cliffs to Lees Ferry across
the Colorado near its junction with
the Paria river. Crossing the ferry
INTO Ine strip, the VermlllOn GIFTS
are encountered. The old Utah road
passes around the base of these cliffs.
The Paria plateau, Houserock valley
and Kaibab plateau, largely forest
covered, with pine predominating, al
ternating with sagebrush deserts,
form the rough and rolling country,
much of it precipitous, of the strip
country to the west and north of the

has an elevation varying from 1000
to 5000 feet in altitude.
Large sections of the strip country
hold good possibilities for dry farm

capable of supporting population OF
ten thousand people. Estimates Of
