one of the paramount needs of the
country, as we'll as the safeguard of
the interests of the workers through
fair and just economic legislation.
"As for the agrarian problem, as
l understand, it is of constructive
nature, and it embraces the granting
of communal lands (ejidos), the Gre
alton of the small rural property, the
utilization of our water power, and
the solid foundation of our national
agriculture. The agrarian program
of the post-revolutionary period far
from being ruinous or a suicidal
program is a highly constructive pro-
gram that will result in the improve
ment of the masses of the people,
and consequently, it will add to the
well-being and the resources of our
country Only the chronic reaction
aries and those blinded by hate and
factionalism can deny that the time
has come to establish in Mexico the
legal protection Of the workers and
establishment of welfare legislation
that in other countries has brought
about the all-around prosperity of the
people and the improvement of the
national resources.

Meat and Rice Unfit for Food
"The food consisted largely of
macaroni, canned corned beef, hash
and mush, also barreled corned beef.
The hash served in the morning was
eour. The meat was almost rotten.
They also served rice only partially
cooked, at every meal.
THE fish that was served and can
ned were brought distance of nearly
forty miles and were spoiled by the
heat and delay in delivery, Sc that
the men could scarcely stand the
smell, to say nothing of eating the
fish. This condition prevailed until

of the men were shipped to Karluck

were kept for three days and well
fed. They were then taken back tc

Worker Shot Down When Men
Take Food
''That evening when the men went
peaceably into the dining room for
their supper they were told by the
Filipino bookkeeper and boss to leave
the food alone. There being no other
place to get food some of the men
started to take food off the table. At
this point the Filipino commenced
shooting with pistols and shotgun,
killing Manuel Castro (alias Jimmie
Castro) and wounding Juan Carrillo
and Ramon Espinoza and Jose Perez.
after the incident the men were
afraid to go back to work or TO go
to the dining room for their meals
and for these reasons, and no others,
the men were unable to continue in
the employ of the company.
Manuel Castro, the man who was
murdered, was a friend of Arturo
Cervantes, known as Arthur Cervan-
tes, of the international Hotel, San
Francisco, California. Cervantes
wanted to bury Castro, but was told
by the federal judge and marshal that
he could not do so; that he had only
six minutes to remain there. The
body of Castro was wrapped in an old
blanket and placed in filthy old
warehouse. Carrillo and Espinoza
who were badly wounded, were left
in a bunk house without nurses

EARLY INCOME TAX

ATLANTA, Ga Jan. 19.-J. E.
Rose, collector of internal revenue
for Georgia, is undertaking to i'm
press upon citizens the expediency
and approximate necessity Of an
early filing of their income tax re-
turns.
The forms have been greatly SIM
pified this year, which means that
the taxpayer need take only a few
moments-in the average-to make
out the same properly; but in reliev-
ing the taxpayer Of much of the
complexity of his return, heavier
burden than ever has been put upon
the local office by way of analyz-
ing and checking up the same. Ev-
cry return filed promptly, there
fore, lessons the burden of incon-
Ivenience-both upon taxpayer and
'collector-as the period for closing
returns draws near.
Mr.. Rose is making every effort
to expedite the business of his de-
partment, with an eye to the COM
fort of the taxpayers.

controversy on the tariff and Of "the
parasitic tendencies Of middlemen
who derive unearned profit from the
products Of the farm" but that dis
cussion was incidental. Tax reduction
was the chief demand Of the farmers.
From Richmond comes a complaint
against high taxes and wasteful use Of
tax money. The complainants did not
concern themselves with the matter
of national taxation and national ex-
penses, but dealt with the question Of
state taxes and outlay. The Virginia
commission on simplification and
economy recommended in it's report
to the Virginia general assembly that
the administration Of state affairs be
placed under twelve departments,
which would be a reduction in the
Number Of state departments and in
the opinion Of the commission would
make for economy and efficiency.
There is widespread complaint in Vir-
