Pianis+s Given
Recognition At
Early Ages

Creighton Pasmore and Victor
Trerice who will be presented in
concert Monday night, since the in
ception of their careers as duo
pianists, have met with great en-
thusiasm from the public, musi-
clans and critics due to their bril-
liant technique and the complete
unanimity of their playing.
The two will give their concert
under the auspices of the Imperial
Valley Music teachers association
and members of that organization
have emphasized the fact that the
concert will start promptly at 8:15
o'clock in the high school auditor
ium, Dec. IL.
Creighton PaSmore comes from
the middle west where at an early
age he attracted public attention
by winning several years in sue
cession, the state contests sponsored
by the federated music clubs and
other organizations. Upon recon-
mendation by Gus Maier he was
granted a scholarship by the JUL
lard foundation, continuing his mu-
sical education in San Francisco,
Los Angeles, New York and in
Europe.
Victor Trerice is Canadian by
birth and a citizen of the United
States by naturalization. Like Pas
more, he attracted the attention of
prominent musicians when he was
still a child, and part of his mu-
sical education took place in the
valley. He spent one winter in I'M
perial and studied under Elmer A.
Todd of Ell Centro. At the age of
16 he demonstrated his remark
ably developing talent by giving
an admirable performance of the
great Liszt E-flat concerto with
orchestra.
Both young men are rapidly be-
coming known throughout the ma
ton, critics predicting brilliant fu-
lures for them.

Declared Best Plan
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
I. B. Tigrett, president Of the
Gulf. Mobile & Northern Railroad,
Saturday termed the pending plan
for consolidation of his road and
the Mobile g. Ohio the best one
that could be arranged
Tigrett testified at hearings being
conducted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the consol-
idation proposal.
He said the new company, to be
known as the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio,
could easily meet the fixed charges
~of about $1,400,000 provided by the
plan. He added that there was no
opposition to the proposal in the
territory affected.
Tigrett said the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy, one of the largest
stockholders of the Gulf, Mobile g.
Northern, was supporting the plan.
He added that Ralph Budd, presi-
dent of the Burlington, had advised
him that he would vote the stock
held by that railroad in favor of
the proposal when presented to
stockholders for their consideration.
Tigrett told Elmer Smith, coun-
sci for the Illinois Central, which
opposes the plan that the Gulf, Mo-
bile & Northern would never renew
a lease to use Illinois Central tracks
between jackson, Tenn, and Pa
ducah, KY.

Increased Tax Burden
On Farmers Stressed
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, April 10.-While pro-
tests against rising taxes largely
center around their affect on busi-
ness and urban activities. the tax
burden on American farmers is
becoming an increasingly serious
problem, according to D. Howard
Doane, agricultural consultant of
the Mortgage Bankers Association
of America.
An increase in farm taxes of ST
per acre, when capitalized at S
per cent, reduces the earning value
OF the land $40 per acre." he esti-
mates. TAX increases of the past
IS years have absorbed a large por-
ton of the former value of farm
land and partly explains why we
now have lower farm values than
before the World War.
"As late as three years ago only
three States-Indiana, Michigan
and Washington-had lower taxes
per acre than in 1918. Eighteen
had over twice the tax load of
1918 and three States Mississippi,
North Carolina and Florida-car-
ried three and half to four times
as much tax per acre.
