FRANCE FACES
BOOST IN TAXES
OR BANKRUPTCY
Communist Hits Fascist
Methods of Poincare

E PARIS, Feb. 5.-Altho facing q
general election, the Poincare adj
ministration has been forced to ad-
NIT that increased taxation is the
only actual resource of the French
government.
What Germany owes on the rep
arations account will no longer be
listed on paper as national asset.
Poincare, who has placed his in
creased tax measure before the
French chamber, is meeting siren
uous opposition. The program was
declared unconstitutional by Deputy
Laffont, Communist member. He
said it resembled Fascist methods.
1--WE know how Fascism started in
other countries-beginning by de-
erecting special laws and ending by
selling dictatorial powers" Laffont
declared in the midst of a heated
debate in the chamber.
Poincare. it is generally believed,
has decided on the new program
because Of broad hints from Amer
lean statesmen that France must
begin at once to consider means of
paying her own debts. His action
is also inspired in part by the meet
ing Of the international experts to
study the programs Of reparations.
Above al these factors, however,
is the sensational drop in the value
Of the French franc at the outset
Of the new year. Poincare is anx-
ious that there be no repetition Of
this decline.
The annual return from taxable
sources will be increased approx
mately one billion francs by the
program suggested by Poincare.

MiIltants viii Fight for Class
Political Action

on Bismarck while the convention is
in session.
Facing a condition which daily
grows worse and with no hope Of
salvation extended by the two par
ties Of capitalism the exploited farm
ers Of North Dakota are looking to
q political alliance between industrial
and rural workers as the only solu-
tion Of the problems that confront
them today.
Promises Betrayed.
The farm value Of the leading crops
have fallen by almost SIS, 900 .00D
from the low point reached in 1922.
Seven thousand farms foreclosed last
year. This in the state Of North
Dakota alone.
Desperate efforts will be made at
this convention by the old guard of
the Nonpartisan League to block the
formation Of a Farmer-Labor Party,
the demand for which has become
overwhelming in North Dakota par
ticularly since Calvin Coolidge took
their two senators Ladd and Frazier
for trip on the Mayfower. These
two senator's have proven themselves
broken reeds in Washington. They
were responsible to nobody but them
selves. The lobeness Of the Non
partisan League allows no effective
control over those who are elected on
its slogans. What the farmers now
need is a party that will have the
political death warrant of it's repre-
sentatives signed just as soon as they
betray their constituents and desert
to the enemy camp.
'Mayfiower" Farmers Taboo.
It has often been stated that no
body came out of Buckingham Palace,
London as pure as when he entered.
And it can also be said without fear
Of contradiction that farmer repre-
sentatives who spend much time in
the company Of Calvin Coolidge, the
money trust president, cannot at the
same time show much energy in
fighting the battles of the farmers
whose enemies the Wall Street CAPT
talists are.
The candidates for Office on the
capitalist ticket are now expressing
AiloSil COhttAn ONCA bilC NOtos
They are leaving a trail of promises
behind them as they go on one SPELL
binding campaign after another.
The farmers who are meeting in
Bismarck are not lacking in reasons
sufficiently convincing to warrant a
complete reputation of the suicidal
policy Of entering into deals with the
republican and democrat parties, the
parties of Big Business, the parties
Of Wall Street, Of Teapot Dome and
Standard Oil. With the present lack
Of political machinery the North
Dakota farmers are powerless in the
grasp Of the capitalist politicians
who can play ducks and brakes with
their hopes and desires because they
have no effective political club TO
bring them to terms.

links the Rhodesian Railway, to ex

The width of the river above and
at the falls is about a mile; but the
falls are formed by a great rent or
issure $50 to 400 feet wide and 400
feet deep, which extends entirely
across the river bed. Through the
downstream face of this pit opens a
narrow gorge, which extends in

The bridge has main span of 500
