avocation. Taxes will be q hum
dred dollars per capita"
As the Senator describes the
situation. 1T is time to take
stock"
The time Of the Senate has
been taken up with debate on the
Tax bill. Democratic leaders
claim that they have sufficient
funds to put over the Democra-
tic tax program which is a
marked departure from the ma
jority measure. The Democratic
leaders have attacked the Mellon
plan, which is advocated by the
majority of members of the
Senate Finance committee, and
offer an income tax plan for
lower rates on normal incomes,
and higher surtaxes. and suggest
a modification of the corporation
taxes.
The question of revenue and
federal expenditures is claiming
the attention of the Administra-
ton. There are many bills call
ing for large OUTLAWS of funds
from the public Treasury now
pending in the Senate and House.
II is said that many of the meas
ures are proposed purely for
political effect during a cam
paign year. The feeling exists
that Congress is quite willing to
enact legislation by which it can
benefit politically and pass the
burden of the responsibility to
the Executive Department. For
instance. it is said that the Kelly.
Edge bill to increase the salaries
of postal employees win pass both
Houses by a comfortable ma
jority, giving large increases in
salaries to approximately $4,000
postal employees. According to
the report of the subcommittee
the bill will cover only salary
raises and has no provision fol
raising the revenue to meet the
additional expense estimated al
from 70 million to 100 million
dollars annually.
The suggestion has been made
by those interested in this legis
lation that the Postmaster Gen
eral must devise ways and mean,
of meeting the financial obliga
tion by increasing postal rates
The Administration is obviously
unwilling to accept the blame
for increasing the cost of ser
vice to the millions using tn,
mails, because of a measur,
which. would react to the benefit
of the legislative branch. Mr.
New says if the money required
is taken from the Treasury, Ia,
! reduction will be impossible.
Marked opposition is expecte
: by House leaders to the McNary
Haugen Farm Relief bill no.
pending on the House calenda
: The bill, which was reporte
from the committee a few day
ago, calls for the establishmer
of a 100000, 600 corporation cal
: italization with federal funds, il
tended to promote the sale {
surplus farm products oversee
; Under the terms of the bill co
porations could borrow one bi
lion dollars from private institt
tions or organizations in orde
that prices of agricultural pro
: ducts could be stabilized to tn
extent that they would have tn
same ratio for four hundred ba
sic commodities as they enjoye,
during the ten years preceding
the war. The so-called farm bio,
is in agreement on the measure
and will press for its enactment
at an early date. However, legis
lators in the East declare that il
is impracticable and paternalis'
tic and that they will oppose il
on these grounds.

Colorado Glaciers Goino

Boulder. Colo, Nov. 10-(A. Po-
Colorado's glaciers are vanishing
slowly. according to Professor Junius
Henderson, curator of the museum
OF the University of Colorado.
DISSATISFACTION of the ice sheets
has resulted largely from the excess
sive hot weather and the dry seasons
during the last few years. The great
Ice masses on the glacier peaks of
the Rockies have been in slow re-
treat for the last % years, Professor
Henderson declares.
However, the retreat has been
very rapid since 1919" he said. for
climatic conditions have been unfav-
orable to the accumulation or pres
ervation Of ice during that period.
This is particularly noticeable in the
Arapahoe glacier, the largest in Col
orado.
IF disintegration continues at the
present rate. all the glaciers in the
state Will disappear with the possible
exception of two, the Arapahoe and
the larger st. Vrain."
Professor Henderson expressed the
opinion that the recent dry seasons
were only part of the Climatic cycle

WINDSOR
Windsor Grange Holds Annual Fair


The Annual Fair held by Windsor
Grange at the Town Hall on Thurs
day evening. Nov. 6, proved to be a
great success. The fair opened in
the early afternoon with a sale OF
fancy work, aprons. canned fruits
and vegetables. kitchen utensils,
etc. The various booths were
prettily decorated in colors rep
resenting as near as possible the
articles which were to be sold from
each booth. The fancy apron booth
was in charge of Mrs. Maurice
York. the kitchen booth in charge
Of Mrs. Sadie Nelder, candy booth,
Mrs. Mae Colburn, fancy work, Mrs.
Mildred Hussey. vegetables. Percy
Reed. The display of fruits and
vegetables was exceptionally fine
and most of these products Of our
Windsor farms were disposed of at
auction during the evening.
At six o'clock a bountiful supper.
consisting of the old reliable baked
hean with all the fixings was served
in the dining room, a second table
was served at ten.
The drama, Daddy" a three act
comedy. was presented to large
| and appreciative audience at eight
any particular star for in this per-
torrance all took their roles with
credit. Windsor Grange has long
held an envious record In the presen-
tation of dramas and in q long list
of such performances this last one
proves the rule. Daddy was played
py f. Il. Hayes, his wife. Mrs.
Brown. by Mae Colburn. Daddy's
daughter, Nellie Brown was portray
ed by Leonia Hayes, Francis Col
burn carried out in a most profess
sional manner the role of the young
doctor, Paul Chester. Paurs aunt
and the chronically i'll sister of Daddy
Brown, Mrs. Chester. was we'll
taken by Sadie Nelder. Kimball
Wilcox as Thompson the Browns
usually sunny countenance was
drawn down for once into q very
good imitation of a funeral director
Teddy Brown, Daddy's son, who Is
supposed to be in college. but who
usually finds it convenient to turn
up at home when there is anything
of interest going on. was most
eXcellently taken by Winnie Nelder.
Mrs. Winfield Barton as Jane, the
Browns cook, was all that could be
wished for in her part. Following
the drama came the dance, with
Manson's well balanced team fur
nishing the music. Intersperced
with the dancing, some special at
fractions We're introduced. a song
and dance number was given by the
Misses Alkaline Feareby and Helen
Slosberg of Augusta. This was so
good that they were called back
for an encore. Another and very
pretty act was the two character
dances presented by little Miss
Devina Slosberg of Augusta. Her
first number was called the Dance
of the Gipsey, her second n Russian
Dance. She was accompanied at
the piano by her aunt Miss Slos-
berg.
Artistically the entire fair was a.
huge success. bpt as usual. the
monetary success Is perhaps of
primary Importance, Mrs. Percy
Reed who had as her special charge
the patchwork quilt reported a net
profit from the sale of said quilt
some over eight dollars, the fancy
work. vegetables, supper. drama and
dance netted close to a hundred dol
lars.
