FARMERS TAKING SURVEY OF
PRODUCTION COSTS IN VALLEY

There is to be no monkeyipg in the
matter of finding out whether farm
ers under the Uncompahgre project
can raise crops at a profit under the
burden of the present taxation and
the various rental charges.
Several meetings have been held at
various points around Delta with the
object in view Of ascertaining actual
cost data. Guy Merritt has been the
leader of a group of farmers on Cali
tornia Mesa, and reports considerable
interest being taken in the matter.
T. w. Mcneil at Montrose has taken
leading part up that way.
Concerning the reclamation eontro-
versy, the following letter from Ell
wood Mead, commissioner at Wash
ington, D. c., to Mr.. Mcneil. should
be welcome news to all farmers in
the valley:

Der p as one of the most Important
human documents that show what is
going on in farmers homes on some
OF our reclamation projects.

giving settlers long time loans. with
low interest rates. has caused me TO
be dubbed a socialist or something
worse, by some who do not under
stand conditions and wish to avoid
assuming any responsibility for farm
development Ny response to this
charge is that. if there is any social
sim. it is in furnishing interest free
money to build the works in the
first place, but, having done this. IT
is not democracy even to ignore the
conditions Of those who attempted to

DEMANDS GOVERNMENT
OPERATION OF U. S. SHIPS

Government operation or no oper-
alton at alr' of Government merchant
ships is the present policy, according
to Chairman O'Connor of the Ship
ping Board.
Mr.. OConnor thus wrote to Cary
w. Cook of San Francisco, president
of the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company. The letter was in reply
to one from Mr.. Cook who wrote that
Cont ,ued operation of Government
merchant ships is a menace to the
private owner of shipping property
and If continued must extinguish
him."
"Of course, we are still hoping that
the time will come when these ves-
sells may be transferred to private
American ownership for operation
upon established lines" Mr.. O'Con-
nor said, "but you and I know that
for the present it is Government
operation or no operation at all; be-
cause the plain facts are that Gov
ernment operation involves services
unsought by private American capital
and not in the least possible to be
given by the citizens of the United
States.
"If you know Of any American
capital that is ready to take any or
all of these vessels and operate them,
please do not keep such knowledge

Nominee Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. August IS
William q. Foster, Workers party
candidate for President, opening the
first election campaign waged by the
Communists in America, in an ad-
dress here yesterday denounced both
President Coolidge and John w. Davis
as agents of Wall Street"
OF Coolidge he said: His servility
in bowling to the wishes of New Eng
land capitalism by using the office Of
Governor of Massachusetts to crush
the Boston police strike of 1919 won
for him the first sign of real recoe-
milton, not alone from the capitalists
OF New England. but Wall Street
itself recognized Immediately that
Coolidge was a man after it's own
heart.
Davis Morgan Lawyer.
The Communist candidate said OF
Davis: He is the Morgan lawyer
picked by the House of Morgan to be
their successor to Elihu Root Davis
halls from West Virginia, the land of
the open shop coal companies. He
has accepted a big fee from these
companies. SO that his sympathies lie
close to home. While he was Am
bassador TO England he served in
good stead the interests of United
States Steel, Standard Oil, Bell Tele-
phone and the Chicago packers"
Attacks La Toilette.
Discussing what he described as
La Follette's plan of purifying" the
Government and breaking up the
trusts, Foster declared that "the
Socialists the petty bourgeois. the
American Federation of Labor, labor
aristocracy, will prove to be the last
bulwark OF capitalism. When the big
capitalist parties are no longer able
to delude the masses and to mobilize
them for political action against their
own interests. then the La Follettes
and the Magnus Johnsons will be al
hand with their policy of reforming
the capitalist system to suit their
own middle-class desires and to pre-
vent the workers from taking effec-
tive revolutionary action"
Hits Federation Of Labor.
Foster attacked the efforts Of the
American Federation of Labor in try
ing to organize "by it's old Gompers
methods. the modern steel industry"
He said "the great steel plants OF
America must be nationalized by
workers and farmers government
and operated for the benefit of the
producers as a whole. Sam Gompers
has about run his course. What is
left OF his type of craft unions must
be amalgamated into industrial
unions and the great basic industrie,
organized.
'"The workers party, while it rec.
ognizes the immediate needs OF the
workers. emphasizes the fact that the
only permanent solution of the rob-
berry and exploitation Of the workers
will come when we abolish complete
ly the. present system Of capitalism. -
