that 100000 farmers have left the
fields in the last year. This condition
cannot continue and the country re-
main prosperous. In my trips in IN
diana l found many farms deserted
and hundreds of good ones advertised
for sale"
The prospect for improvement is not
bright, Senator Watson indicates.
Before Congress meets l do not
doubt that this economic question will
be on US in greater force" he said.
The farmers of the country have not
been helped and they haven't been
hoodwinked by the Republican tariffs.
They know that far from benefiting
them, the Fordney-McCumber law and
its predecessor, the agricultural tar
iff," have simply exploited them for
the enrichment of trusts and com
bines. The farmer has got little or
nothing from the tariff, but the tariff
has got good deal from the farmer.

Water! Water! Water
Wanted in w. Pal.

There is bad condition and a
Palisade lying between Anderson ave
nue. and Seventeenth street. This sec
ton is to the southwest of the Pail
sade School, which is located on An
derson avenue and Central boulevard.
Brinckerhoff avenue is the first street
south of Central boulevard, and be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets there are now number of
houses without water connections, and
for some unaccountable reasons water
connections cannot be obtained. Will
lam Vass this week, speaking to a
Palisadian representative, said: "The
people without water are:
Mr.. Magman, Mr.. Zelinsky. Joseph
Carr, William Collins, William Pow.
srs, VanNess Dauby, Lodovico Primus
John C. Biegel, Henry Carpinelli, John
Sedlack, J. MacVinew, J. Stanley, Mr.
Ekiert, Mr.. Hoare.
I'VE are really in deplorable state
in this section of Palisade and we
need help from the borough, and rap
idly, because Of the bad sanitary con
ditions. We are without sewers, have
to use cesspools and are without watel
and cannot get it. 1t looks to me as
though this is a case for action, and
quick action at that, for both the
Board of Health and for the borough
authorities. There are a great many
houses ready to go up in that section
Immediately if water can be assured
The houses that are already up with
out water and in which families are
living are in deplorable condition
for the lack of it. The increased tax
able values that would come from new
homes would more than. offset the
cost to the borough of putting these
necessary improvements in for us. A
two-inch water pipe would suffice in
place of water main, and in simple
justice and in the cause of our health
we ought to have water"
All of which is respectfully referred
to the borough council.

TARIFF NO AID ON TAXES

In dispatches sent by the Washing
ton correspondent of a New York Re-
publican newspaper the public is in
formed that President Harding is plan
ming to reduce Federal taxes by about
5000 100000 year in the fiscal year
1924.
This announcement follows the plan
of Democrats and Progressive Repub-
licans for general tax reduction.
Even If the Republican administra-
tion should succeed in lowering taxes
by the amount which the President
has set as the goal it would be of little
Importance to the average taxpayer.
The Fordney McCumber profteers'
tariff is taxing the people at the rate
of $4,000, 100000 a year. That is al
most the exact equivalent OF the total
annual cost of the government. Sub
stantial relief from the load of taxa.
tion now borne by the people can come
only in the form of considerable re-
duction of the high duties which the
Republican administration has i'm
posed upon them.
What President Harding expresses
the hope of being able to give the
country in the way OF diminution of
taxes would represent but $1.81 per
capita. What he could give the peo.
pie il he chose in the way Of smaller
cost of living would be to recommend
to his Republican Congress that it de.
| crease by one-fourth-that is, one bill
lion dollars-the annual toll taken
from their pockets by the profiteers'
tariff and save every man, woman and
child in the Union $500 year. But
Mr.. Harding is not expected to adopt
that plan.

THE s,LzER BOOM GROWS

Another nationally known newspa-
per man, Arthur Sears Henning OF the
Chicago Tribune and New York Daily
News, has made his pilgrimage to New
Jersey to "size up Governor Silzer as
a presidential>po possibility.
The survey of these experienced
newspaper experts is quite as impor-
tant as the survey that is also inevita-
bly, under way at the hands off the big
political leaders of the country
The newspaper men are good judges
of presidential timber" They come
in contact with the statesmen and the
near-statesmen and the would-be
statesmen as a matter of routine at
the national capital. They are well
informed on the possibilities of these
men who have seen political service In
Washington, but when anything new
comes along from some other part or
the nation the newspapers pick their
biggest men to look them over.
Arthur Sears Henning is a good
judge of political timber" He has
seen New Jerseys favorite son, has
talked with him, has locked him
over" and has passed upon him favor
ably Which is something. Mr. Hen
ming is not going to nominate Cover
nor Silzer, but he has spread the Sill
ger gospel to millions of readers
through the two great newspapers
which print his human survey.
Other newspapers will comment on
the Henning story, and other millions
will get Zine" on the New Jersey
governor.
The Washington correspondent in
his story has not printed anything that
New Jersey folk do not already know.
They know that the governor is fifty
four years old and that he looks forty
four. They know how he stands on
prohibition. They know his feeling
that taxation is mighty important
issue at this time.
But the people from Maine to Cali
fornia do not know all these things
and the other things printed, and it is
interesting to know that the story of
Governor Silzer is being carried, piece
by piece, from one end of the country
to the other.
The boom is growing, and, as Mr.
Henning says, there would be no oc-
casion for surprise if Governor Silzer
should receive the Democratic nomi-
nation for President Hudson Dis
patch.

TARIFF HITS FARMERS

Insolvency, bankruptcy and hard
ships among American farmers after
two years OF Republican administra'
tion and two years Of Republican tar
if legislation are admitted by Senator
Watson (Rep., Ind) in interviews
which he has given to the Washington
correspondents of several newspapers
following his return to the national
capital from tour of his own state.
Senator Watson, it is understood, in
formed President Harding of agricul-
tural conditions in the middle west
and recommended that the admins
tration try to do something to allay
the dissatisfaction which he found rife
among the farmers in that section. He
confirms that all Democrats have been
charging in these respects.
"The farmers [of Indianal are not
satisfied with their lot" Senator Wat
son told the correspondents. "They
find that they cannot make farming
pay and are unable to get sufficient
help at any proper wages, since the
industrial centers pay so much more
and attrac the young men from the
farms.
Il consider that the condition among
the farmers is the biggest problem
facing this country. Statistics show

F. Ebell in Court
Action for Debts

F. Ebell, of Bluff road, Palisade
who has been resident with his
family for dozen years or more, has
recently been in such financial diff.
culties that action has been taken
against him by number Of creditors.
Recently a foreclosure under a chat.
tel mortgage was made and the house
hold furnishings were all taken out,
leaving the family with nothing what
ever. They were aided, however, by
kind neighbors.
According to the Hudson Dispatch
of Thursday, another actian was taken
against Ebell. The Dispatch says:
Counselor Patrick Henry Maley of
Hackensack, applied to Vice Chan-
cellor Vivian Lewis in Chancery
Chambers, Jersey City, yesterday for
an order restraining Louis De Stefano,
of West Hoboken, from proceeding
with an action for replevin started in
the Hudson County Supreme Court
and an action for dispossess in the
Englewood court aginst Francesca and
Margaret Ebell, of Fort Lee.
1t seems that about two years ago
Charles Roderman gave Ebell the
sum of $4,000 to invest in foreign ex-
change and securities and this money
was lost owing to the violent fluctua-
tions of the German mark. Ebell
charges that Roderman assigned his
claim to De Stefano and the latter
came to Ebells home, and obtained 1
a deed to his property valued at $780,
900 and the household furniture val
ued at $4,000 by threatening to have
Ebell arrested for embezzlement of
the Roderman funds. A suit was later
started by Ebell in the Chancery
Court against De Stefano to set aside
bill OF sale and the deed on the ground
that it was obtained by duress and
coercion. Ebell was taken sick and
unable to appear in court and the bill
was dismissed on May 20 for failure
Of Ebell to prosecute.
Counselor Maley now seeks to have
the case reopened in chancery and
seeks an order restraining De Ste
fano from prosecuting his two cases
in the other courts pending deter
mination of the matter in equity.
Because of the absence of Counsel
or George Cutley, who represents De
Stefano, and who was appearing in
another court, the matter was laid
over.
1t was stated that Ebell had lost
a fortune in German marks and that
the property alleged to. have been
taken under duress, was in his wife's
name. 1t is charged they frightened
her into the belief that unless she
agreed to turn over the property, her
husband would be jailed.

LIARS AND PERJURERs

An advocate of the Single Tax, in
addressing a Lions Club, says the
nresent income tax is a breeder of
liars and perjurers.
That is Just what the income tax
has done. Taxation for centuries has
created liars and perjurers, but the IN
come tax has made more Of them, and
their lying and perjuring has been on
q bigger scale.
Living and perjury is bad thing
for society; 1t corrupts morals, 1t adds
tn the extensive system of law defl-
ance. and what Is almost as bad, 1t
creates WHOLESALE INJUSTICE.
MANY men there are who refuse to
lie. who refuse to commit perjury for
the sake of avoiding taxes that they
know are unjust.
This means that honesty bears the
tax burden of dishonesty. 1t means
that the wage-earner who takes from
his nav envelope a certain portion OF
his wages each week to lay aside ror
the Government Is at a disadvantage
with the wage Garner who works foI
six months under his right name and
six months under an assumed name
II means that the big business which
scrupulously accounts for every penny
of it's income, every penny of it's prof
its, is at disadvantage with com
petitor which cheats in many ways.
There is probably no form OF taxa
tion that will make every taxpayer
honest but it is absurd to go on with
a tax system that is peculiarly weak
in its defense against dishonesty,
against liars and perjurers.-Hudson

BATTERY ''D' MAY BE
MADE HOWITZER co.

The war department is considering
plans for abolishing the field artii--
iery units at Mesa and Flagstaff and
converting them into infantry COM
panies. In all probability the Flag
staff battery will be converted into
q howitzer company, serving with the
infantry. and the Mesa battery will be
transformed into a battalion head
quarters company and rifle COM
pany.
The conversion of these two units
Is a matter over which neither the
adjutant general nor the command
ing officers have any control, 1t was
pointed out. Reasons for the change
are contained in letter from the mil
tia bureau of the war department
reading as follows: :
"Subject: Conversion of Batteries u
and E, 158th Field Artillery, into In

"To the Adjutant General OF Ar1-

TARIFF EXPERT MILLER
HERE LINING STOCKMEN
UP FOR LIVING TARIFF

Prayer Miller of Roswell, N. NJ,
former president of the New Mexico
Wool Growers association and now
personal representative in the field
for President f. j. Hagenbarth of the
National Wool Growers association,
was here the first of this week in con-
ference with Captain Harry b. En-
bach, secretary Of the Arizona Wool
Growers association, and other prom
inent stockmen and financiers.
Mr.. Miller also represents Mr.. Ha-
genbarth in field work in connection
with the Western Tariff association
of which the latter is also president.
His mission now is largely in connec-
ton with the effort to be made in the
next congress to get protection fol
western cattle growers and southern
and western Pima cotton growers.
Both hides and cotton are on the free
list and growers in this country are
at the mercy Of foreign competition.
While the president can vary existing
tariffs so per cent either way, moth
ing can be done with articles on which
there is no import tariff except By
congress. Mr.. Miller says things are
fast lining up for a concerted fight
by cattle, cotton and wool growers
against eastern manufacturers to get
some measure of protection for the
raw products Of the former. The
manufacturers, of course, eager for
tariff on the finished product, are
equally eager for free admission OF
all the raw products they handle.

SIXTY-ON CARLOADS
OF BEEF SHIPPED THIS
WEEK FROM FLAGSTAFF

Livestock shipments from Flagstaff
have been going forward with a rush
in the last few days. They began on
the 7th, when M. /. Powers shipped
four carloads of fine lambs to the
Southern California Sheep Co. at Los
Angeles. A few days later Folker-
son shipped two carloads Of lambs to
Missouri river points.
Cattle shipments were made by the
Grand Canyons Cattle Co., Babbitt
Bros. Trading Co. and Haydee Lane.
The Grand Canyon Cattle Co. drive
had been in progress for several
weeks from the grazing grounds up
north of the Colorado river. The cat
tie were ferried across the Colorado
at Lees Ferry, forded the Little Colo
rado. and the first bunch got in here
the first of the week, the main body
coming day later. Manager n. ;.
Stephenson of the company came IN
Sunday night and began loading Tues
day. That day % carloads were sent
away, II to Phoenix and II to Boards
lev, all for T. F. Doyle, who will feed
them. Mr.. Doyle and his daughter
were here for several days this week
and last, watching the loading. We'd
nesday the rest of the lot, II cars,
were shipped, all to Mr.. Doyle at
Beardsley. The 80 cars contained
1920 cattle, ranging all the way up
from scant yearlings.
Babbitt Brothers yesterday sent
away 20 carloads-about 1000 head
Of cattle to California, part direct to
the packing house, the others going
to Vernon for short-time feeding.
They were all consigned to the AS
sociated Meat company, in which Bah
bitt Brothers are interested.
Haydee Lane shipped two carloads

GEOLOGIST SAYS KAYENTA
OIL INDICATIONS ARE GOOD

Mr.. Cramner, managing partner in
one of the Denver concerns now
drilling for oil in the region near Kay
enta, came in Wednesday accompan-
led by his brother, and geologist
from Denver and George Mccormick
of Flagstaff. Cranner and McCor-
mick went back after few hours.
The geologist is enthusiastic over
the prospects for oil. Cramner has
been having a lot of trouble lately,
principally from cave-ins, but is about
over that. The Monumental Oil Co..
of Salt Lake City, drilling near him,
also had a lot of trouble, their tools
having been stuck for several weeks,
but they have got things going again
and expect to beat the others out in
getting the oil. The Midwest COM
pany is hard at work.
Several leases have been bought up
lately by the three operators above
named. They are certain they are
going to make the operations pay out
and are not hesitating to put their
money up in backing their hopes.

ACTOR
RICHARD DIX
GOT DUCK
AT T$25COST

Richard Dix, popular motion nicture
actor, was fined $25 Friday evening
on the charge of shooting wild duck
out of season.
Dix, leading man in the Famous
Players-Lasky company filming Zane
Grey's "Call of the Canyon" returned
to Flagstaff last week with several
other members Of the company to re-
take some Oak Creek episodes. That
done, he and Lee Doyle, local trans
portation manager for the corpora
ton, decided to go hunting, taking a
cameraman along to film the star N
the act. Doyle bought regular resi-
dent license and Dix one-day col
lector's" license. Doyle had not been
duck-hanting in several years and
took it for granted that the duck sea
son had opened at the same time the
deer and turkey season did. They
went to Rogers Lake. Dix shot a
duck. George Negray and Charlie
Nickel, members of the Flagstaff
Game Protective association and serv-
ing without pay as deputy game war
dens, saw Dix kill the duck. George
arrested him and Justice Of the Peace
r. j. Kidd held court that evening and
assessed the fine. Dix took the ar
rest and fine good humoredly. He
left that night to return to Holly
wood.
