Land Enouxh Now.
Opposition to the further expendi
ture of government fund* on land re-
clamatum projects at present was
voiced by the Commissioners of Agri
culture of the Southern States at their
recent conference held in Memphis.
Tliese commissioners also petition-
ad Congress and passed resolutions
urging the defeat of the >15,000,000
reclamation appropriation bill now
pending.
The argument is made that there
la no necessity for bringing more land
under cultivation at great expense
when millions of acres have been aban
doned during the past 25 years, largely
because it has been found unprofitable
to cultivate them.
A* a better means of utilizing these
vmnte lands, it is recommended that
they be reforested, and thus within a
few years be made to produce timber
which would be of benefit to the
owners and to the public.
Congress has only recently author-
Ired appropriations amounting to
•$600,000,000 to aid in marketing sur
plus crops. It would seem absurd to
appropriate other millions to bring

firfns in competition with the privately
owned printing plants of the country,
operated by citizens and taxpayers.
Many millions of dollars have thus
been lost to these ditizens, with a cor
responding loss to the taxpayers at
large, who through taxes have paid
for the government’s deficit in sup-
pWing these printed envelopes at less
than coat.
Because of President Hoover’s often
expressed opposition to this sort of
unfair competition by the government,
the small publishers and printers of
the country, a* represented by the
National Editorial Association, have
hepes that he may at the opportune
time take an interest in the matter
and lend his great influence toward
getting TMfelo Sam out of this petty
business.

There is a certain class of taxes

that must be collected promptly or
they cannot be collected at all, and
while it is true that real estate stands
good for the amount of taxes due on
it, it i 8 equally true that it,is much
harder to pay two years’ taxes—or
three of our—than it ia to pay for
one year, and there is a serious doubt
in the minds of many if those charged
with collecting taxes really do the
taxpayers a favor when several years*
delinquent taxes are allowed to ac
cumulate.

Allendale County’* Plight.
Prof. Leonard Hill, in his address
as president before a London sanitary
association recently cited one possi
bility which is terrify.ng in its im
plications. He declared that a certain
kind of germ which can be easily
cultivated i* so deadly that a spoon
ful suitably distributed could kill a
million persons.
This is not the first time such
measuies for the extermination of
troops and non-combatants al ke in
the event of another great waf'have
been hinted at. And there is little use
to argue that such diabolical means,
if developed, would not be used.
Poison gas in warfare was con
demned and agreements to avoid its
employment were made long before
the World War, but it was used with
telling effect by both sides after the
German-s resorted to it at Ypres in
April, 1915. Our own experts de-

“The presentments of the grand jury

these i« the fact that the jury found
from records in the treasurer’s office
that tax executions still in the hands

writes Ms. Brabhbam in the Allendale
