BAN JUAN. Porto Rico. Feb. 34
(p Police said today the aaaasalna
tlooB of Col. E. Francis Rlggs, chief
of the Insular police, and a district
police chief yesterday were the results
of a long-planned plot.
The two police officials were killed
by nationalist and It was reported
that men of the federal bureau of
Investigation wore already In the
Island Investigating nationalist activi
ties.
Flags on the Insular buildings flew
at half-staff today In honor of the
slain officials. .
Rlggs, 48 -year-old former United
States army colonel, was shot to death
here at noon yesterday by two na
tionalists, both of whom were killed
later by polite.
Just two hours later, District Po
lice Chief Francisco Velez Ortiz at
tempted to put down a nationalist
riot at a cafe In the central town of
Utuado, and waa killed.
Governor Blanton Wtnahlp an
nounced that a full Inquiry Into the
Incidents would be energetically push
ed.
Deploring the slaying of Rlggs as
"dastardly," he asserted a revival of
capital punishment here and a ban
against carrying of firearms, being
urged upon the legislature, would pre
vent such crimes.

minutes later, ahe found Ritchie alt
ting helpless In a chair near the tele
phone. She helped him to a bed and
attempted to- call nearby physician.
She got In touch with Dr. Cecil
Bagley. He called his brother, Dr.
Charles H. Bagley, Jr., and the two
reached hla bedside about fifteen
minutes later.
When they saw the seriousness of
hi condition, they called the fire de
pot tment for a pulmotor, realizing
that in that way they could get a
tank of oxygen the most quickly.
Ritchie's breathing by that time was
labored.- He died at 1:45 a. m.
One of the first to express regret
at the death of the noted Mary lander
and pay him tribute waa Gov. Horry
W. Nice, republican, who defeated
him for a fifth term for governor In
1934.
"That la terrible, Juat terrible,"
Gov, Nice said, upon being called at
his home and Informed of Ritchie's
death.
"I am shocked beyond expression,
the state has sustained a heavy loss
a loss that will be hard to meet."
Death ended speculation over the
possibility of Ritchie taking a lead
ing role in opposition to renomlna
tion of President Roosevelt at this
year's democratic convention In
Philadelphia. His outspoken criti
cism that Roosevelt new deal policies
tended to circumvent the constitu
tion and engulf states' rights stamp
ed him as an outstanding figure
among - conservative members of his
party.

STUDY OF FARM
TAX PROBLEM IS
CONFEREES PLEA
Agricultural -Economics
Committee Says Present
System Too Burdensome
To Farmer Hits Income
Establishment of a commlulon to
study the tax problems of farmers,
'to develop an equitable system ox
taxation, which will relieve real prop
erty of Its present excessive burden,"
Is recommended by the agricultural
economics committee of the Jackson
county farm outlook conference,
which met last Thursday and Friday.
The committee Is of the opinion
that the present system of real estate
taxation is entirely too burdensome
to the farmer," the report reads.
'Moreover, as a rule a greater portion
of the farmers' net income la taken
for taxes than for any any other
group of citizens."
It la recommended that the state
legislature co-operate with the farm
ers, for the setting up of a commis
sion of Informed persons, to study
tax reduction plans.
Oppose O-C Return
The agricultural economics com
mittee went on record as opposed to
the proposed return of O-C revested
grant lands In Jackson county, to the
forest service. The area Involved to
tals . 433,233 acres, and the report
reads:
The committee believes that the
Income of the county will be decreas
ed If any change la made, and there
fore recommends that the adminis
trative status of these lands be unchanged."
The committee also recommended
establishment of grass crops on range
and brush land to increase stock pas
turage; conserve rainfall by reducing
run-off, and maintain stream flow
during the summer prevent soil eros
ion, improve recj eatlonal facilities,
as the coming of tourists provides a
market for farm produce; and holds
against settlement of sub-marginal
lands, by people of small means, who
try to eke out a living."
The report further reads: '
Not All Settlers Prosper
"Such settlers usually obtain school
and road facilities, at me expense of
taxpayers located In more favorable
areas, and not Infrequently also re
quire aid from relief funds. It Is the
belief of thib committee that settle
ment of such areas Is detrimental to
the welfare of the county, and is of
little or no value to the settler.'
Need of more Irrigation water sup
ply for the future Increase of small
farms Is stressed, and steps for the
securing of additional water supply
are urged.
Regarding the farm future In the
county, the report says:
"Prices during 1935 were somewaat
higher than In 1934, and it appears
this upward trend Is likely to con
tinue In 1936. It is believed that
farmers In Jackson county are now
liquidating their past indebtedness,
and It la recommended this be con
tinued aa rapidly as income will per
mit. Further 'expansion at this time
la not recommended, unless such ex
pansion will promote bettor land use,
or develop the farm Into a sound
economic unit."
Betting forth there are 42 soil types
In Jackson county, "which require
specialized handling. If best results
b obtained," it is suggested that all
newcomers, who wish to purchase
farms,, consult the county agent, ag
ricultural credit agencies, or estab
lished farmers as to the type of farm
ing best adapted to the land they in
tend to buy."
