Prometheus


The word Prometheus. the name of
a character in Grecian mythology,
means forethought, and forethought
is the father of invention. Accord
ing to the Grecian tradition, Pro-
metheus taught man the use of fire,
and instructed him in architecture,
astronomy, mathematics, writing
rearing cattle, navigation, medicine
the art of prophecy, working metal,
ard indeed, every art known to man.
The tale is that he made man of
clay, and, in order to endow his clay
with life, stole fire from heaven and
brought it to earth in hollow tube
Zeus, who in Grecian mythology
corresponds to Jupiter in the Roman
mythology, in Furnishing Prometheus
chained him to a rock, and sent an
eagle to consume his liver daily
During the night it grew again, and
thus the torment Of Prometheus was
ceaseless, until Hercules shot the
eagle, and unclaimed the captive.

State Now Ranks as One of Most

Says Statistician.

RICHMOND, Va, January 29.-The
value of truck crops obtained from
137,550 acres in Virginia during 1924
totalled $22,980,000, according to a
statement issued here by Henry NJ
Taylor, statistician for the State and
Federal departments of agriculture
Virginia ranks as one of the most
important trucking States in the
Union, he said, due to her variety of
truck products and their value
Aside from being the second pro-
ducer of Strawberries in the United
States last year. Virginia was first
among all the States in the produc-
ton of early potatoes and spinach.
The Old Dominion held third rank in
the raising of green peas and was
sixth in cabbage production. In ad-
dition to these crops. Virginia con-
tributes to the nations markets a
considerable quantity of snap beans,
cucumbers, lettuce, onions, tomatoes
and watermelons.
There was an increase in acreage
in nearly all truck crops during 1924
over the preceding year. Mr.. Taylor
pointed out, the increase being 137,-
$50 acres for 1924 against 125, $3.50
acres for 1928. The total value of
the crops increased S2,500,000.
The principal crop among all the
truck products is early white pota-
toes, which brought two-thirds of
the total value for the State. Low
prices cut the value in potatoes for
1924, 20 per cent larger crop bring
ing nearly the same total value per
acre as did the crop of 1928.

FEARS JAPANESE
!. !. INFLUX IN MEXICO
Swedish Editor Wants New
World Settled by Euro
pean CoIoniStS.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

By Radio to The star aud Chicago Daily News.
STOCKHOLM, January 29.--Is MeM-
co to be colonized by Asia or Europe?
This is the issue which now urgently
confronts the world, according TO DR..
Helmer kry. editor of the Svenska
Dagbladt and one of the worlds lead
ing authorities on the emigration ques-
ton.
The treaty which was concluded last
month between Mexico and Japan, the
text of which is stu unpublished, pro-
vides for the development of great
port in Lower California and the move
ment of Japan'S surplus population to
Mexico, where it will be accorded equal
rights with the MeXicans. DR.. Key,
who has the text in his possession,
revealed this to the writer.
Fear of Naval Base.
This treaty. when il becomes known,
will cause apprehension in the United
States Or. Key fears. owing to the
possibility that the new Mexican port
might become a Japanese naval base
in case of war and the Japanese emf
grants become Japanese soldiers.
He believes. however, that Mexico
cannot much longer remain uncolon-
lied. 1t is as lar-e as Europe without
Russia, and has great natural re-
sources, and Yet il has population of
What DR.. Key proposes is that Mex
ESQ. along with other vacant regions
"A Canada and South Africa, should
be colonized by Europe, whose vast
excess populations have no work and
where there is no prospect of work
for them for many years. The world,
according to Or. Key, already is
greatly ver-industrialized.
The attempt to reconstruct Europe's
great Industrial nations since the war
with American capital is a mistake,
DIR. Key thinks, for it will merely in
crease industrial competition without
providing new markets.
Russia, he suspects, will remain
economically inconsiderable for per-
haps another century. Hence, the
only way to obtain the new mar
kets of which the worlds industries
are so badly in need is to develop
them by colonization.
The money America is now lending
Europe would be better expended, in
DR.. Keys opinion, for financing great
colonization schemes in Mexico, Cana
da and South and East Africa.

IL will not do to become over
elated on account of the announce
ment that this administration will de
crease taxes. If present plans are
carried out there will be reductions
but few residents of Champaign OIL
Urbana will profit materially-at least
only those who pay income taxes
surtaxes, or excess profits tax.
There will be no noticeable reduc.
/ ton in personal property or real
estate taxes in this county as a resul,
of the administrations plan. At least
we shall have to be shown in order to
believe. A very large percent OF
Champaign and Urbana tax is levied
upon public improvements that we
have not paid for. There is the 3d.
100000 road bond issue, the school
tax, street paving tax and numerous
other taxes on improvements that we
have voted. The government will not
decrease any of these, and it is doubt
full if our taxes will be lowered ex-
cept indirectly for many years.
The administration intends lifting
the excess tax on moving picture
houses, automobile accessories and
various forms of amusement and
promises to pay particular regard to
INTRODUCTION on incomes of less than
| $1,000 a year. Those who have been
paying income tax on salaries Of
1000 will be relieved somewhat, If
the plan carries, but the larger per-
cent of workmen already have exemp-
tons which exclude them from the
income tax burden.
Where the public may profit is n
the reduction of the price of amuse-
ments, providing the operators of
amusement houses pass the reduction
on to their patrons, which, of course,
they are not obliged to do. In all
probability movie tickets will cost ap-
proximately the same when the tax
reduction goes into effect.
Our type of civilization with all its
convenient utilities is a costly enter
prise. We cannot have things up-to-
date without paying the bills.
