REDUCTION Mill WILL BEPUT
IN AT PLATOR0 THIS YEAR

Charles s. Barnes returned last
Saturday from Denver where he
placed an order for thfrty-ton
mill with the Colorado Iron Works
company. This machinery. amount
Ing to about 10000 pounds. will be
shipped to Monte Vista about the
first OF June and then will be hauled
to the Chelan mine below Platoro.
The Chelan property is located ten
miles from the old Walker ranch. on
the Conejos slope of the divide be-
tween the Alamosa and Conejos
rivers. and Is about five miles east
OF Platoro.
In addition to the machinery for
the mill, car load of machinery
for mining purposes will be install
ed at the Chelan mine at the same
time and It Is expected to have the
mill running on dump ore about the
first Of September. From is to 20
men will be employed. Mr.. Barnes
states that this machinery is the
first unit Of \ mill which will be
enlarged from time to time by the
addition Of other units as further
ore is developed from his other
properties and will do custom work
for other producing mines in the
district.
The installation OF the Barnes
mill very probably presases a re-
vtval Of mining In the Platoro dis
trict and as Monte Vista is the
logical place from which supplies
can be purchased. the local CONNER
cial club should recognize the i'm
portance Of having \ good road
from this place to that district and
that II be kept In condition to ex.
pedite hauling of equipment.
Mr.. Barnes states that the Chelap
company expects to expend about
$4,000 this year on equipment
alone aad this together with The
activity Indicated BY other COM
panies points to a genuine mining
boom.

POTATO FIELDS IN
SPLENDID SHAPE

Potato planting and ditching over
the valley is in full swing this week.
With the ground in splendid coudi-
tton. even though plowing has beer
delayed this spring. prospects for
valley crops were never better, &C
corAans to farmers and potato ship
pers OF the valley.
Potato acreage In the valley will
be approximately the same as last
year, according to WIG. Lewis OF the
Cooperative Potato Growers Ex-
change. Although some potato farm
ers are cutting down their acreage
for diversified cropping other farm
ers are increasing their fields so that
an even balance on the acreage will
be maintained. However. potato
growers never faced better condi-
tions for big yield than this year,
Mr.. Lewis says. Soil and moisture
conditions are perfect and many
farmers have gone to considerable
pains TO secure the best seed stocks
obtalnable.
One new variety OF potatoes be-
Ing tried out this year is known az
Blue Victory" solid pure white
meated potato with 4 blush cast to
the skin. A yet this variety is not
being planted In commercial guam
titles. the older varieties Of peach
blow. brown beauties and russets

market At this time.

FINANCING THE BONUS

The House by heavy majority
has passed bonus bill ObligatinG
the Treasury to the extent Of more
than two billion dollars in the
form of paidup endowment life in
surance maturing in twenty years,
| with a cash bonus OF not more
than fifty dollars to short-service
veterans and not entitled to insur-
ance.
But the House has made no pro-
vision whatever for establishing
the sinking fund Of more than a
hundred millions year that would
be necessary to finance this meas
ure.
On the contrary, it has passed n
mangled tax reduction measure
which, if enacted, would mean Il
deficit of ffty-fve millions next
year. How. then. is the bonus to
be financed, even If its aggregate
has been reduced by more than
half from that Of the measure pass
ed by the last House and vetoed
by Mr. Harding,
Finance Committee have plan all
mapped out. Their idea is not to
pay off the war debt so rapidly as
Is now being done. At the present
rate of payment, We shall clean up
the entire war debt, except the
eleven billions coming from our
late allies, in some thirty-two
years. The extinction of the for
eign war debt will take longer. de-
pending on how soon other debtor
nations follow Great Britain's ex-
ample and begin payments.
In order to finance the bonus.
these Senator's plan to cut the
sinking fund rate in half, and thus
prolong the period Of war debt
payment by many years. They
urge that posterity should carry
l7rge~ share Of the war load. The
fact that nosteri'y is not here and
has no voice in the matter, does
rot in f. t vote and will not do so
for some time. may explain this
Senatorial willingness to pass the
load along.
But there is the present status
of national credit to consider, and
the obligations of the Nation to
holders of Liberty bonds. These
are matters affecting us here to-
day, and the evils inherent in 4
policy Of delaying war debt pay
ment could not all be passed on to
posterity We should experience
them ourselves.
The new bonus measure IS per-
haps the best yet devised, since it
cuts down the total gift and dis
tributes the financial burden to
better advantage. But the fact that
the holders Of these policies may
in two years borrow up to ninety
per cent Of their paid-up value,
brings in an economic factor OF a
potency not now to be calculated.
The initiation Of credit thus threat
ened is certainly something to be
reckoned with.
The need for Congress to pass a
| real tax reform measure, one that
will not create a deficit, but will
turn live capital back into the
channels of business and industrial
enterprise, is greater than ever. in
view of the bonus situation.-Min-
