AS stated earlier in this report if
there had been a sufficient water
supply and less loss in Che system
water meters would not have been
necessary Since an adequate water
supply is now to be obtained the me-
tiers under the municipal ownership
of the plant would not be necessary
Further since the meters were
bought out of the sinking fund of
the company, they already belong 20
the water users. 1t appears that
from the standpoint of the town, in
case the present water system is ia
ken over, that the meters should not
be paid for In a settlement.
1t should further be required that

lose not more than Is per cent of it's

INCOME TAX RATE
 REMAINS THE SAME

TACOMA, Feb. 18-According to Burns Poe, Collector of Internal Rev. enue there are being received returns of income for the year 1923 computed in accordance with the proposed am- endment to the existing law to reduce the normal tax rate from to to 3 and per cent, and embracing other proposed changes. The Governments answer in such cases is that the tax on income for the year 1923 is being collected under the revenue act of 1921, which is still in effect and which provides a normal tax rate of per cent on the first $3,000 net income in excess of exemption and credits and .8 per cent on the remaining net in come. Tax must therefore be com puted at this rate and not at rates proposed in the bill now pending be- fore Congress.

DEMOCRATS INSERT
 LEAGUE PLANK N PLATFORM THIS YEAR
CORRESPONDENT SAYS ENOUGH WILSON MEN BE IN CONVEN-
 TION TO FORCE ISSUE
By David Lawrence

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. l8- The death of Woodrow Wilson Will have one important effect on the poll tical situation of 1924-it will mean the certain inclusion in the democrat ic national platform of a plank de- claring for American membership III the League of Nations.
 There will be enough Wilson men in the democratic convention to insure the adoption of such a plank. Instead of being regarded as closed incident the league will be brought into the political discussion by the candidate nominated, in fact, the price of sup port from the Wilson men to any can didate who comes before the conven- tion will be a pledge to uphold the Wilson foreign policies.
 .rour years ago the Wills atamp was liability. One of the first signs of disapproval of James M. Cox's acts after his nomination came from those democrats who thought he shouldn not have visited Wilson or embraced the League of Nations idea, even though he made it clear he favor ed reservations. One of the obJec- tions entered at San Francisco against the candidacy of William Gibbs Me Adoo was that he would inherit all the opposition to Wilson. The "son-in- law" argument did impress many del egates.
 Today the relationship between MT. McAdoo and his distinguished father in-law, and particularly the fact that MT. Wilson made Mir. McAdoo sec retary of the treasury during the war and also director general of the rail roads may prove an asset to the Me- Adoo campaign.
 At the moment the former secretary of the treasury is the center of the discussion because of the statement by E. L. Doheny, oil magnate, that he hired MT. McAdoo and paid him a large fee after he left the Wilson ad- ministration. Many of those with whom the wish is father to the thot consider that the McAdoo candidacy has not been killed by that statement. Not so with the McAdoo supporters, who feel confident the average Ameri- can citizen can distinguish between a fee given while public official is in position of responsibility and fee given for legal services when a former official has gone back into his pro- fession.
 MT. McAdoo has asked for chance to testify and in all probability will have some caustic things to say about his critics who have been so ready to drag him into the controversy in which he feels he has no part. He had no con- nection, he insists, with the military leases giving his legal advice on the l Mexican matters.
 The incident may prove boomer ang in favor of McAdoo who always has exhibited a resiliency in politics Again and again he has seemed to be disqualified by one circumstance ol another, but the McAdoo followers have some onf the faithful crusading spirit, which they gave Woodrow Will son-they will not quit because of ar unverified statement of a man who deserted the democratic party in 1926 and contributed to the republican campaign fund and whose leases have bee: annually largely thru the eff forts of democratic members of the United States senate.

D. & R. G. W. READY
TO HANDLE BIG CROPS

Improvement in the road bed and
engine power and the addition OF
more cars made during the past
twelve months will enable the d. &
r. G. w, to handle the movements
of produce in better shape than ever
before, according to L. F. Wilson,
superintendent of transportation IN a
bulletin recently issued.
Heavier rails have been laid over
large mileage of the road greatly i'm
proving the road bed. Modern shops
at Denver, Salida. Grand Junction,
Salt Lake and Alamosa are being
rushed to completion and will be
available for use this season. Stock
cars have been purchased to aug
ment the supply already on hand and
to replace some which have been dis
mantled. Box cars are being rebuilt
at the rate of six day. Motive pow
er is about 25 per cent better than it
was a year ago and more serviceable
locomotives are stored now.
But what is of even more interest
to the produce raiser is the fact that
plenty of refrigerators are promised
to this district as well as other fruit
and vegetable districts for this seas
on's crops. 1t looks as If there are
going to be plenty of cars for all ship,
ments.
To date the D. & R. G. w. has re.
ceived $50 refrigerator cars from the
Missouri Pacific to apply on fruit and
vegetable loading and all other east.
ern connections have also agreed to
move empty refrigerators as neces
sary. OF their own the road had on
hand July Is. 6l3 refrigerators, as
compared with 433 last year the same
date. This looks most encouraging
The road has made plans to move
i25 cars of potatoes, 200 of onions
225 OF apples out of Delta. besides
about 20 cars Of peaches. From th-
North Fork they are planning to have
about 1850 cars and are making ar
rangements to handle this business
promptly and efficiently. Everything
is in readiness.

A. R. T. co. ORDERS
NEW REFRIGERATORS

The American Refrigerator Transit
Co. this month ordered 1850 new
first class refrigerator cars for use
in moving perishable goods and so
new express car refrigerators to be
used for produce shipped by express
on passenger trains All of these
cars are to be first class in every
way-the best made.
The addition OF these cars to the
number already owned by this com
pany will greatly facilitate their ser
vice and will enable shippers to get
good cars for shipp ing their produce
to market much more easily than
heretofore when sometimes the car
supply has been short. The an
nouncement Of this purchase will be
good news indeed to the many farm
ers in this section.
