decision by the Board Of Tax Appeals will
make life look bleaker than it did before for the
gentleman farmer. In behalf of the late Reginald
C. Vanderbilt it was claimed that his farm at
Sandy Point had been conducted at loss of some
$4,000 in three years, which loss ought to be
deducted from his gross income for taxation pur-
poses But the Board Of Appeals held that such
farm was not "a business conducted for profit :
That seems sensible enough matter of fact in
view Of the big yearly deficits, but matter of
law it bears hard on the income-tax payer
Perhaps in this incident we find added reason
why former Governor Lowden of Illinois has so
keen a sympathy for the downtrodden farmer. He
himself is a gentleman farmer, fortunately with
means large enough to wear that title without
going bankrupt. For all we know, his farms may
be run for profit, whether any is made not, but
it would be hard to convince the tax authorities
that they are. Perhaps if Farmer Lowden could
show large callouses on his hands and complain OF
rheumatism got by bending his plow handles
he might be allowed to deduct from his income tax
any losses that he may have incurred as an agri-
culturist. ss
Another reason why the Vanderbilt deduction
was not allowed was that his occupation was not
exclusively that Of farming. He had an office in
New York. It was in evidence also that he fire.

securities" That is the fatal mark Of the gentle
man farmer. No honest-to-Cod worker on q
Kansas farm would ever be kept out of his legal
rights by any such reason.

Nicaraguan Intervention

Now that the smoke Of verbal battle in congress
has to some extent cleared away we can examine
this matter Of United States Intervention in Mica
rapua and discover for ourselves whether 1t was
justified or not.
conclusion that the landing Of marines to preserve
order was justified by reason and by precedent ana
that the United States could have done little else
and keep faith with Central America and with its
own nationals.
It is peculiar thing that most Of the critics OF
intervention have entirely CLOSED over the fact or
entirely forgotten, that action to protect American
lives and property in states subject to disorder Is
justified by long standing American and other pre-
cedents as well as by the implications OF the Monroe
doctrine.
that when we enunciated this now famous principle
as applying to the Americas, but particularly to
North America, excluded foreign nations from
protecting their nationals Consequently in disor-
dered times it has been the custom for these ma
items to notify the United States that their nation
ais endangered, leaving it up to us to protect
the nationals of every other nation besides those OF
our own.
Thus when marines landed at Managua it was
not as representatives Of the United States alone
but as a police force for the protection of all ma
tionalities.
How is it possible to circumvent this obligation
we owe other nations in view of the Monroe doc
trne, even if we would stretch the point for our
selves? There is no way, short of dishonor, ant
that course is not open to America.

The Years Farm Prospects
(St. Paul Dispatch.)


In his address before the 300 delegates in attend
ance at the 58th annual meeting of the Minnesota
Agricultural society, Paul N. Kirk, United States
Agricultural statistic:an pointed out that although
Minnesota has produced flax, buckwheat
potatoes, apples and livestock and fully as much
eggs and dairy products, and very nearly as much
corn and other grains as it did in 1925, the farm
value fell $5,666 900 for 1926, the 1925 production
having a farm value of $45O,461 900 as against
S444 795 900 for 1926. He points out that to this
decline must be added the decline in the purchasing
power of the farmers dollar.
With this as base he ventures some prediction
as to the farm situation for the present year, II
these words:
The combined purchasing power of the crops
produced in 1926, the livestock to be sold in
1927, as well as the revenue from dairy and
poultry will hardly equal that for the calendar
year, at least not for the first six months,
unless prices for all products are relatively
higher. From standpoint Of world production
it would not appear that any material increase
in the price of farm products can be expected
during, at least, the first half of the present
year. Should the outlook for 1927 crops be
improved which would appear probable, TAX

49, President Coolidge with eye to the future, has
asked for over a million dollars for the construc-
ton of manufacturing plants for the and
valuable gas, helium, which has done so much to
make air travel safer and easier. Immediately
critics arise and contend that he is multiplying his
own economy program with such request, that we
do not need heum for navy airships They cite
the Shenandoah disaster and other airshp disasters
to prove that the airship is unsatisfactory, and OF
little value in military maneuvers.
But these critics lose sight of fact that Mr..
Coolidge has evidently kept we'll in mind, and that
is the value of the airshp in peacetme and in the
future development of aviation. Mr. Coolidge sees
that private capital would find it hard to obtain
heum, so he wants the government to build helium
plants for the use of the navy, but of such capa
city that private airship operators could obtain
supplies of the gas for their vessels at a
reasonable price and in proportions that would not
cripple the supply necessary for adequate main
tenance of the fighting forces of the country.
It is estimated that helium raised the safety
factor of the airship some 500 per cent Previous
to the heum era, the gas, hydrogen, was used
This was q very inflammable explosive gas and the

AMERICAN LEGION AMBULANCE
REPORT 9e

Week of June 18th to 18th Inc.
What appears to be something OF
a record for the Legion Ambulance
service was established last week
when the June driving crew an
swered a total of ten calls during
that time. In fact for sometime
past the ambulance has been extrem-
ely busy day and night.
Trips made during this week in
Guided Providence, Cherry Hill, (2),
Baltimore, Rising Sun to Port De-
post (2), Newark, Del, Washing
ton, Charlestown, and white Crystal
Beach.
Probably the most spectacular trip
that the Legion Ambulance has
made was the White Crystal Beach
trip made by driver Pat Maloney on
Sunday evening to drowning case
at the Beach. Pat negotiated the
thirty odd miles in just forty min
utes from the time he received the
cali and his promptness and efficient
driving was probably the biggest
factor in saving a girls life.
