The Bismarck tribune., 1924-01-31

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary
Mellon regards as practical and feasi-
BILE the plan of republican members
of the house ways and means COM
mittee to make the proposed income
tax reductions effective on the 1923
payments which taxpayers will remit
to the government beginning March
Is. He believes the step would en-
tail no difficulties on the treasury.
Under the optional plan of paving
taxes in four installments probably
90 percent of the taxpayers can take
advantage of the privilege Of re-
tanning money that might otherwise
be turned into the treasury on a
lump sum on the first tax paying
date. The mechanics of dealing with
a retroactive reduction in Mr.. Mel
Ions opinion would be largely a pa
per transaction consisting of the
placing by the treasury of credit
to the taxpayer on future INSTALL
ments. Little tax rebates, he be
lieves, would be involved.
The treasury has no opportunity
to estimate the decrease in the total
income but some officials made the
guess around $200,00O,000 on the
payments this year> if the 25 percent
reduction all along the line on tax
rates is agreed upon and suggested
in the ways and means committee.
THE COMMITTEE PLAN
Washington, Jan. 31.-A reduction
in the personal income tax for 1923
and payable this year was decided
upon by Republican members of the
house ways and means committee.
Chairman Green said no rate of re-
duction had beens decided, but it
might be as high as 25 percent.
1t would apply to the taxes after
they have been computed and to all
personal income taxpayers. Treasury
experts estimated that a rs percent
cut would mean a saving to tax
payers of $685. 100000.
Mr.. Green explained the reduction
was aimed at immediate relief
Whereas application Of the rates in
both the Mellon and Garner plans
would begin on this years taxes.
The action was first taken on new
income rates which the Republican
members of the committee decided
to write themselves and put through
in committee by majority vote.
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
a member of the committee and
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, announced last night that
Democratic members of the commit
tee had intended to present similar
proposal but in the form of joint
resolution which could have been
taken before the house and senate
for action before March Is when the
first installments on last years tax
es are due.

Mr.. Peterson says that while he
las been frequently told that FAM
ly cannot live off quarter Sec
tion of land yet he believes that his
own experience proves quite to the
contrary that good living is avail
able if farmer is willing to use
proper methods both Of diversified
tion and intensive cultivation Of the
land. He believes that North iDa-
kota is by far the best country in
which man of small means can get
ahead and he has firm faith in the
future Of the state.

This precipitated lawyers tilt

pending a conference as to further
testimony.
Judge Monson said that he antici-

the defendants on the stand and
have them as to their residence and
in view Of this prospect he did not
think the state had established a

said that evidence showed that both

SUPERIOR JUDGES
SALARY ADVANCED
To $4,000 A YEAR

Five Judges of the Fulton superior
court have been voted an increase
in salary of $4,000 annually by the
Fulton county commission, making
the salary of each $4,000 per year,
effective October l, 1924. The ac-
ton of the board was taken Wednes-
day afternoon following petition
by a number of members Of the At
lanta Bar association, many of whom
addressed the commissioners in be-
half of the increase.
The board also recommended legis-
lative action which will allow in.
creasing the salaries of the two city
court judges.
Among the lawyers advocating the
increase were Reuben Arnold. James
A. Branch and Grover Middlebrook
They pointed out that the position Of
judge is an important one and I'M
less the salary is adequate, it would
be difficult to get high class lawyers
to accept the positions. Statistics
showing the salaries paid to judges
in cities Of the same size in Atlanta
were read.
The five whose salaries are increas-
ed are Judges w. d. Ellis, George l..
Bell, John D. HUMPHREYS, E. D.
Thomas and G. H. Howard. The
state pays each $4,000 a year, and
the county, which has been paying
$4,000 annually. will pay each judge
SIS 1000.

Vegetation From Foreign
Lands, Found to Thrive on
United States Soil, Fur
nishes Good Income

WASHINGTON, May S,-United
States, melting pot Of foreign cropsl
Perhaps greater than It's fame as
m .lting pot of the world for human
immigrants, is this unrecognized dis
tinction Of adopting the plants Of the
world for domestic growth.
Altogether $4,000 varieties of plants
have been II reduced, most of them
in the last quarter century. And
enough commercial success has been
made from the Immigrants to total
more than 500, 100000 annual income
for the farmers of this country.
Yet less than half a dozen Of our
major crops aie native American.
Corn is the great -percenter. The
tomato, potato and tobacco may also
be termed native, although even
these might have been imported be-
fore the white man came to this
country.
I Explorers Out
That is about all. The rest of our
crops have been brought or sent
from all corners OF the earth to make
the United States one of the leading
farming countries Ia the world.
Acquiring new crops is regular
job, for which the department Of
agriculture has esta blished the office
Of foreign seed and plant introduce
ton. Explorers have been going out
for the last rs years and have
brought back many new specimens
from travels tinged with romantic
adventure.
A small percentage Of the 10000
alien plants have been successes
here, but those that have succeeded
have brought large fortunes to their
growers.
Durum wheat, for instance,
brought here from Russia Is years
ago, and now grown in the great
plains region Of the west, brings an
annual crop worth nearly $50,000,0 900.
Pima cotton from Egypt brings $5,-
900, 900 a year.
In the southwest prosperous date
! industry is already producing nearly
100000 worth of fruit annually.
Bamboo is being tested in Georgia,
and favorite plants of nearly all
other countries are being tried out
in various sections here.
Small Beginnings
The southwest, the middle west
and the east now know Sudan grass,
a wonderfully productive forage in
! troduced in a small bag from Africa
in 1909. 1t is a good feed for live
stock and the half million acres now
devoted to it brings Uncle Sam addi-
tional wealth of 15,000,000 annually.
Supe> Tor varieties of alfalfa from
Siberia and South America bring
in $5,000,000 a year.
Avocados, or alligator pears, in
PRODUCED from the tropics of Central
and south America, are now being
| grown in 1000 acres of groves in
| Florida and California. Two thou.
sand farmers in the southern states
are growing dasheens, potato.like
tuber from the tropics.
Hundreds of new plants are on
trial on government lands. Among
| them are blight-proof pears, the
! Chinese jujube, a tree with wood
like mahogany, medicinal fruits, sap
| that makes a cooling drink, a peach
! favored citrus fruit and a pigweed
| that produced grain for the Aztecs.
