BETWEEN THE ROWS
BY ROY H. PARK

About the best definition of farmer
I've seen is the one given out by the
University of Tennessee. According to
it farmer is
A capitalist who labors-
A patriot who is asked to produce at
a loss
A man who has every element of ma
ture to combat every day in the year
A man who works eight hours twice
a day
A man who is biologist, an econo-
mist, and lot more lists
Who gives more and asks less than
any other human being;
Who takes unto himself for his own
sustenance and that of his family those
products that other people will not util
iZe;
Who is caricatured on the stage and
in the daily press. but who comes nearer
taking hold of any business and making
90 of 1t than any other American alive
or in captivity.
Just the same, farmers live rather
long life, especially i'll South Carolina,
if one is to believe the story of Alfred
Land, down in Greenwood.
Land wrote me that the other day he
saw gray-haired, long bearded man sit
ting on fence sobbing as though HIS
heart would break. Sympathizing, he
stopped, and asked:
"My friend, why do you weep so BIT
terly?'
Pap whipped me-that's why" an
severed the sorrowful one as he wiped
the tears out of his whiskers.
your pap whipped your" repeated
Land, dumfounded. "You mean your
pap whipped you. Do you mean your
father?'
yep cause | throwed rocks at
grandpap."
Theo Davis, of Zebulon, tells the
story of the youngster who said a loud
"doggone" and forthwith received adime
from his father on the promise thar he
wouldn't say it again..
"Say pop" said the boy a few min

wasting time. Less than two weeks
after the WOQX deal had been con-
summated Jim Wells was reading for
the second time the terse letter from
the Government Radio Commission.

II doubt it, Peg. Brady has too
much money and influence behind
him. But it's worth the chance"
He stopped abruptly. No one knew

pecting Devon Franklin to assist him
against a more powerful constituent,
no matter what past favors he had
received. But on the odd chance he
got busy and made his plea to the
Senator. The statesman was regret
full. but obdurate.
After two days of frantic wire-pull-
ing among all his political acquaint-
ances, Jimmy was no farther than in
the beginning. In less than a month
it would become effective, and Jim saw
staring at him the specter of failure
and the necessity OF beginning
anew.
DISMALLY, but with the intention
of going down fighting, at least.
he redoubled his efforts to convert
Senator Franklin to his views. Inex-
plicably he was ultimately rewarded
by the statesman's agreement. Per-
haps he was thinking of future favorS.
But the main point was that he was to
drive to Washington within two days.
Jim Wells face and spirits once
more assumed the aspect of cheer
fulness common to them. There was
no way that Brady could deal him a
hand from a cold deck with the Sena-
tor pledged to support him. Once

When Jim answered the call the
following afternoon he was totally un-
prepared for what he heard. The
Senator had been In a fatal auto

stared into nothingness.

man, Ed wasn't, merely because, as
the pampered son of the town bank
president, he had never had to exert
himself unduly to get what he wanted.
From earliest school days Jim and
Ed had been rivals in everything.
Whether it had been 'in competing
for school honors or in struggling
for acclaim on the athletic field or
possessing first that novelty, the safety
bicycle, Jim and Ed had striven bit
terly to be victor.
The honors were about evenly divid-
ed up to the time that they had
grown to manhood. And until that
time there had been no open enmity
between them-just the sense Of not
quite understood competition. The
day that they were graduated from
the high school the laurels lay in Eds
grasp, and they both knew it. His
father would make it possible by plac-
ing him in a good position, for him to
be miles above Jim Wells humble sta

heartbroken. Peg and her Jim mar

for the city, where Jim had been Of
fered promising position in large
firm. The jealous Ed never forgot nor
forgave Jim.
Jim and Peggy had their lean years
at first, and then things began look
ing brighter. BY the time they had
saved enough money to go into busi-
ness in a small way Jim had made
tall plans for their future. Eventually
he seemed on the way to realizing
some of them. He borrowed money,

FIND ORE CHIMNEY

A. E. Hoover. general manager
OF the Jack Mining Company at
st. Regis, states that a large Chin
ney OF high-grade gold ore has been
opened in the property, which is
situated about six miles from St.
Regis on the st. Regis River. At
ter considerable study and devel-
opment, three veins merging to a
central fissure vein have been open
ed. Rich float and ore of the pic
ture rock variety have been found
during the scanty Development of
the property. It Is believed that the
source of this ore has now been To-
Gated. Four men and a cook are
employed at the mine, which Is
with a six-ton stamp mill
and table concentration. Plans for
future development will be formu-
lated as soon as further exploration
work is done. The property Is own

MINES PAYING
THEIR SHARE OF
STATE TAXES

Forceful facts regarding taxation
as applied to the mineral industry
were presented TO the members Of
the Last Chance Gulch Mining as
ISOLATION in Helena by Fred Ben
MON, secretary of Montana Taxpay-
ers' association. He pointed out:
1. That since 1923. revenues
for state purposes had more than
trebled and that expenditures had
pretty we'll kept pace with incomes.
2. That the state indebtedness
was being rapidly retired and that
exciting revenues were more than
adequate to meet all necessary de-
mands.
3. That additional tax measures
and increased rates of taxation were
entirely unnecessary and should not
be tolerated unless there is a cor
responding reduction in property
taxes.
4. That the mining industry is
already more completely covered by
the present tax situation than Is
any other industry by:
a. A property tax on patented
claims, improvements, machinery,
supplies, ETC., that has yielded dur
ing the past 10 years 1904, 900 to
100000 per year whether mines
have been operated or not.
b. A Metal Mines License Tax
that has amounted in one year to
as high as 1855, 900, virtually a
gross proceeds tax, paid regard
less of the profitableness Of the en-
terprise.
c. A tax on net proceeds on the
basis of 100 percent value that last
year amounted to nearly $500, 000.
d. A state corporation license
tax, an income tax that has amour
ted to as much as $4,000 in a
single year.
e. A federal corporation tax OF
more than twelve times the state
tax.
5. That while It is true no tax
is paid on the unknown ore bod
les IN the earth, the mine owners
are taxed on the average In various
ways an amount equal to from 90
to 80 per cent of their net prof
its.
6. That the mining people can
hardly expect much relief from this
tax load except through the restric-
lion of public expenditures and that
hey should join with all other
groups Of taxpayers In an organ
zed effort to reduce tax rates and
prevent additional taxation.
z. That Montana has too many
units, school districts,
counties, ETC., and too much gov
md wealth to support.

dend OF one per cent a share to stock

installed, costing S65. 900 and devel-
opment work has taken $4,000 and
the company has $4,000 in the
treasury at the present time.
Operations on the Jay Gould

adit for a distance OF 100 feet,
where the vein shows an average
width OF four feet, in an 1909 foot
shoot, and that a block of about
120Ox7OO feet up to the $50 foot
level has not yet been touched.
No work has yet been done below
the main adit level, and the COM
pany plans to explore at depth

the most modern plants of its kind
in the Northwest. Treating charg-

G. L. Emmons, noted mining and
petroleum geologlst, has written a
highly favorable report on the

He writes: a'In magnitude and

Today, with electric power at hand

tive flotation mills of 900 tons

pected. There is one lead 1900
