will Mcdonald Come Back?

VIII NAACDOnMAN C0fu6 D&cAE
 Ramsay Macdonald, premier of England, has given orders to the organizers of the la- bor party to prepare for general election in December, It is expected that the gov ernment will be forced to quit office over the debates on the Russian treaty and loan, or perhaps over the Irish boundary dispute. Both debates promise some acrimonious ex change of opinion. But apart from that the question uppermost in Irish minds is twill Macdonald come back?"
 Premier Macdonald apparently is tired of holding office by the good grace of MT. Lloyd George, who could turn him out at will. When he goes to the country he goes mainly on his record. which includes the restoration of the entente cordiale with France. And a great number of the most progressive liberals will switch behind him owing to his moder- ate department while in power. The direst calamities were predicted for England if labor should win. None have come true. In the coming election, if it does come, conservative liberals will unite in opposition with the of ficial tory party. Thus causing new align ment of political parties in which the liberal group will almost disappear from the scene. When The Spirits Go On Strike Harry Houdini, the magician among spir- its'' is continuing to play havoc with the me- diums, who claim communication with the other world. At q recent seance in Boston medium who had attracted widespread atten- tion failed to establish connections with the spirits when Houdini was in the room and had taken some scientific precautions. In his work of unmasking such fraudulent me diums, and Houdini told this writer he has to discover the first one yet who does not practice fraud to obtain results, he is not an- imated by any desire to destroy something that gives rest and peace of mind to many weIl.intended souls, but he wants to estab- fish the fact that thousands are actually de- luded by the mediums and given false conso- lation. Since the war there has been an intensified questioning: Where are ,the dead?" The mediums try to take advantage of the desire to communicate with those that are gone Better no consolation than false one.

STAMPING OUT THE
FOOT AND MOUTH DIS
EASE NO SMALL JOB IN CAL.

There may not be any scare about
the foot and mouth" disease in Cali
fornia and as Thomas J. Putnam says,
there may not be any such disease in
that state but report from Oakland.
California, given out by the director Of
the division Of animal industry, says
that 1000 animals have been killed
10 date, March 18th. and he further
says that i may be "many weeks.
perhaps months before the epidemic
will he stamped out" There have
been over a million dollars spent by
l25 veterinarians and 500 clercks and
laboTers.
This same official states that the
disease has showed up in 60 herds
slaughtered and nine more are await
ing death. Cattle valued at $3.50 900
have been slaughtered. 4 total Of
BASS cattle, 6,753 hogs and dozens of
sheep and goats have been put to
death and their bodies buried deep in
lime soaked trenches. II is possible
that an extra session Of tie legislature
may be called to finance the work
vet to be done. 1t is well that our
authorities are on the watch to pre-
vent the presence of that disease in
Colorado.

Fighting Contagious
Diseases that Threaten

C. T. Stevens. member of the State
Board of Stock Inspection Commits
sioners, was an east bound passenger
TO Denver Wednesday evening, called
by an important meeting Of the board
which viii consider the quarantine on
the outbreak of foot and mouth dis
ease in California.
Altho prompt measures were taken
TO prevent the importation of any
stock, and warning issued against hay
or packing material from the infected
section. the rules are not as rigid as
they should be made TO head off any
danger of this dread disease getting
n foothold in Colorado. at seems n
be the real foot and mouth disease,
said Mr.. Stevens. "and we know that
l. bad enough to warrant the utmost
care"
The board is just now quarantin-
ing an outbrakc of the mango in II
Paso county, where it has appeared
on a small area. That bad winter
disease, hemorrhagic septiccmia, has
recently been extremely fatal among
various animals on the Pike National
Forest even getting into herds of wild
mountain sheep and killing half q
dozen known of. This is not dis.
ense that can be quarantined, as the
writer understands il, but needs clo5t
attention where il breaks out.

ISSURGENT COMPROMISE SIM.
PLY GOES TWO-THIRDS WAY
TO GARNER BILL
(By Wallace Bassford)


Washington. ID. c., March 4:-The
floods Of mail received by members
of the House reveal a surprising state
Of ignorance in the country as to the
! real purpose and effect of the Mellon
Bill. Many men of moderate income
write TO Congressman and abuse them
like pickpockets because they are no;
supporting the Mellon plan, seeming
TO think the representatives are seek
ing TO prevent a reduction Of taxes.
There seems to be little understanding
that the Garner, or Democratic bill
makes much more substantial reduc-
tons for the average man, and that
only the man with net taxable income
above 5000 per year can secure as
great relief from the Mellon plan.
Under the Garner plan a married man
with ne, income of 5000 and no de-
pendents would pay no tax at all;
under the Mellon plan, he would pay
SIS, whereas under the present law,
he would pay $50. II the net income
is 5000, the present law tax would
be 500, the Mellon tax, s75 and the
Democratic tax, $40. II the income
be $4,000, the present law tax would
be $500: the Mellon tax, $500 and the
Democratic tax. S2.0. These are fair
samples. The married man with child
ren gets additional exemption under
the Democratic plan Of 500 for each
child under rs years Of age; the un-'
married person gets an exemption OF
$1,000. Under the Mellon plan this
exemption is only 81 900.
This lamentable ignorance which
makes men attack the representative
who is voting in the interests Of prac-
tically every taxpayer in the land, Is
doubtless due almost wholly to the
propaganda Much OF this
comes from the nationwide canvass
made by the Literary Digest, simply
asking each citizen if he favored the
Mellon plan for tax-reiuction. without
giving the voter the information that
another plan proposed to give a mucn
better and quicker reduction The
word quicker is used for this reason:
The Mellon bill provides that for the
taxes for the year just past refund
shall be made by the Treasury Of p
per cent of the amount of the years
tax. When that refund will be made
is something that requires a very fine
sample of guessing. Just now the,
Treasury is more than four years bQfi
hind with its work of auditing returns,
and getting farther behind all the
time. In the case of many men now
living, their executors would have to
collect the rebate, if paid before the
day of final settlement of the estate
Under the Democratic plan it is pro-
posed to arrange il so that the tax
payer can simply omit his fourth in
stallment of taxes, due this next fail:
For this reason, il is well that all
taxpayers should make their payments
in four equal instailments, as provided
by existing law; before the last one is
due the provision for the % per cent
rebate will be in effect

Chances Of Special
Grazing Bill are Slim

L. H. Rouviere, who went over 10
Denver last week on matters connect
ed with the range problem, has gone
TO Washington. d. c. to present the
matter. to congress, and if possible Sc
cure special bill, placing the unoc-
cupied public range around Gunnison
under control of the forestry officials.
1t would seem like large task, but
something like this has been done for
several communities surrounded BY
isolated tracts of land similar TO our
situation here, and the senators and
congressman are inclined TO lend a
ready ear to the actual representa-
tives of the people in measures Of
this kind. If it were not for the un-
fortunate jangling over oil investiga-
tions which has delayed general legis-
lation of pressing Importance, there
would be more reason to hope for an
occasion to slip such a bill as this thru.

SELECTION OF BREEDING

The good breeder Of live stock may

success is selection Care and feed

animal no further than the inherit

Selection j. just as important 70
that man who was a producer Of mar

animals from which others breed.
Satisfactory results cannot be obtain

stock and then save the best from

not 10 be any best among the increase.
The livestock man must decide upon
his ideal before ne starts in the bust

not 70 have any goal Al all.
Selection is important n has been
augRestod. and I may now be said
that selection 10 a type is important.
Diversity of types seen in breeders
flock or herd is generally indicative
Of haphazard breeding operations.
What Is the value Of uniformity of
type No one win question its finan-

Many worry about which breed to raise
but tho selection Of and adherence to
a typ" is even more important than

San Luis Boosters
Want Broad Gage

Szguache Crescent
Between January Goth and Febru-
4ry 7th, 1924, q period Of eight days,
there were sent out of the San Luis
Valley FIVE train loads of far hogs TO
California markets
In connection with the efforts Of
the San Luis Valley and the city of
Santa Fe toward the standard gaug-
ing Of the ID. & r G. W. system from

Interesting to note carefully the hand
ling Of these shipments from point
Cf economic transportation
To get these hogs from the valley
20 Santa Re, the narrow gauge sys-
tenn required the service of ~ men
and l2 engines for a period of about
y TO Il hours, whereas, had this
branch been broad gauged, to have
handled the same shipments would
have meant two engines and ten men
in service about eight hours This
would not only have shown an enorm-
Gus saving to- the railroad company.
but also have benefited very much
the shippers by placing their stock in
Santa Fe at least four hours earlier
than they arrive under existing con-
ditions, and by avoiding the transfer
At Santa Fe, would deliver these ship
ments at their destination from six

can now be handled.

This is certainly most pointed IL

of our insisting that we be
