CAPT. OF DONALDSON
 INJURED BY EXTINGUISHER

Capt. Lars Ericksen, of Valdez, for mer captain of the old government boat Donaldson, was seriously injur- ed last week at Fort Liscum, when the cap of Hancock fire extinguisher, which he was discharging, blew off. The missile struck Erickson on the jaw with terrific farce rendering him un- conscious for some time. He was brought over to Valdez for treatment where it was found necessary to take several stitches to close the wound in the jaw, and also that the blow had so loosened his teeth that it was neces- sary to extract them all. MT. Brick sen, although suffering considerable pain, is now on the road to recovery. This is the second accident of this character to happen here recently, W. Schmidt having been injured in the same manner short time ago.

COOLIDGE AND TAX REDUCTION

President Coolidge. by signing the tx measure. has kept his promise
II reduce taxes, more especially those paid by men and women who
eaTn little. His action means that Congress has granted the Pres
demond that a fiat reduction of 25 per Ger be given for 1928
this is n decidedv victory for the people and for Calvin CooIdge-it means
n tn interests of the "a or woman, N o matter whether o the farm
or n thu city, has been safeguarded by the President-it NEAR that
the head of the nation has kept his word to the citizens of the land
1t IA that Congress has at last realized that the people stand soidly
behind tn President in his fight for a reduction of taxes. 1t is true
tha thu measure just passed is not exactly what the President desired
He mt a bill hat would mean a n eve greater reduction of taxes.
here is n doubt that at the next session of Congress the President
Will insist that the taX bill be revised SO as to give further relief, and
by that time the obtrucuonsts in Congress will, no doubt, have been
Informed in emphatic terms by their constituents to do as the President

AN END TO 1T

High position in government is
becoming a thing to De Stunned.
Reputable men will not be made tar
gets of mud-slinging partisans.
There's no reason why they should.
Public service represents a sacrifice,
willingly made when real service
can be rendered, but not at all at
tractive when 1t means being drag
ged through political mire. Prevent
competent men from ~accenting high
office and government automatically
reverts to ~self-seeking politicians.
That Mr.. Coolidge's remonstrance
against the procedure being followed
in the treasury investigation should
have been accepted by such men as
Tom Walsh and Jim Reed as a de-
mand for cessation of all senate in
vestigations is natural and entirely
in keeping with the cheaply partisan
behavior which they consistently
have practiced. Theirs is the cry
of the demagogue that any criti-
cism of the methods they employ
is an endeavor to shield wrong-do-
ing. The presidents criticism is of
slanderous assault and extra con-
stitutional procedure. 1t is that
which has brought congress into
such disrepute.

THE FACTS ARE

In the curse of discussion in the
senate over a bill to loan the Amer
lear farmers s~15O,0OO, 900 now in
the hands of the Alien Property Gus
todian. it was said by a Democrat:
I'VE are inclined to believe thai if
European countries are now free to
pay in the only way payment can
be made for the products and raw
materials they need. there would be
no necessity for these elaborate,
costly and risky financial plans . 1t
was because of this belief that we
opposed the enactment of the emer-
gency and Fordney tariff bills, whose
fruits the farmers are now eating so
disgustedly." Such a statement is
utterly unsupported by facts. In
the two years. 1920 to 1922, Great
Britain took an average of $812,-
600, 600 of American agricultural
products. In 1913 Great Britain
took about 1891, 900 900 of Amer
lean agricultural products. Our i'm
ports from Great Britain were $272,-
00O,0 in 1913 and $417,OO0,0 900
in 1928. In their efforts to discred-
it the Fordney tariff, Democratic
free traders resort to false tate
ments.

THE FARMING SITUATION

Though the situation of the farmers is TAR from ideal, the average
condition of the American farmer has improved nearly 10 per cent dur
ing the past ear
The revised estimates of the Department of Agriculture show that
1928 crops had a total value of about ten billions of dollars, a n increase
of mor than a million in a year.
Total value of exports of principal agricultural products from the
United States for eight months ended February 20, 1924, a 81 $685.
33s. 900, a compared with 1888, 5000 for the same period during
the preceding year, a increase of 6 per cent.
In a recent statement, the Department of Agriculture says: 1.-The
general agricultural outlook for 1924 indicates that farmers are under
taking a normal production program. 1t is apparent, however, that
agricultural production this yea will still be attended by difficulties
arising from high wages and other costs.
Domestic demand for agricultural products is at high level. Foreign
markets. OF the whole, re- likely to maintain the present level of
demand.

TAXES N MONEY

Is much real money as he is getting now. The people would buy some
other "a o. If they could get no other they would go without
Along the same line of reasoning. it is clearly see that by placing
an exorbant tax upon large incomes, the government inspires YER pos
sihe form If evasion and then furnishes the easiest method itself by
authorizing the sale of taxexempt securities.
Every time the government has advanced the tax on large incomes
the volume of money gathered from that source has shrunk.
There would be ore money in the national treasury n mor

at work in some industrial enterprise earning a modest ia upon itself
Likewise it would be better for the taxpayer if the issuance ant

COSTLY THINNING Or
Costless Thinning

1t is possible to increase the yield of beets a ton
or more per acre, by attention to what at first appears
to be a minor detail in blocking and thinning. Such
an increase in yield would practically make the thinning
costess.
The results of experiments have conclusively proved
that larger, stronger plants left at thinning time pro-
duce beets nearly twice as large as the smaller plants
produce.
If instead of leaving so per cent small plants and
5O per cent large plants the thinners increased the
number of larger plants left only 10 per cent the
harvest, other things being equal, would show an in
crease yield of $500 pounds per acre.
An active educational campaign by our feldmen
and by printed matter is being carried on, to get the
contract workers to improve the thinned stand. A
backward growing season in many districts should spur
growers to increased effort toward better Yields. This
thinning time offers such an opportunity.
Numerous fields will be ready for thinning stimuli
taneously. F1eldmen will endeavor to get labor already
finished with a thinning contract to help with the late
fields. The cooperation of growers in this effort to
Closely preceding and following the thinning, cul-
tivate.
Already weeds are showing up in large numbers
of fields. The thinners should take weeds out in the
cutivatng.
The splendid moisture condition in the soil follow
ing recent rains should be conserved by cultivation.
Commence early in the season doing those things
which will tend toward higher yields. No single factor
is so important in farm returns.
