$11,OO0,O0 TAXES COLLECTED
FROM CORPORATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-With col
lections of $11,000,O00 California led
all the Pacific and mountain states
in the taxation of corporations in
1912, Commissioner Davies of the
bureau of corporations reported to
the president.
That amount was exceeded only by
Pennsylvania and New York, and was
not approached by any other state.
The report covered Montana Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,
Arizona, New Mexico, California,
Washington and Oregon. Of that
group California alone separates the
source of state and local revenue.
The special taxes fixed on corpora
tions for state purposes yielded about
76 per cent of the required revenue.
Commissioner Davies stated that in
contrast to the use of special taxes
on corporations in California was the
almost complete dependence on the
general property tax in Nevada and
New, Mexico" Montana, the report
showed, applied a gross receipts tax
to railroad and express companies.
A noteworthy feature of the tax
system in the Pacific and mountain
group sis that most of the state con-
stitutions contain minute provisions
regarding taxation, in strong contrast
with the constitutions of the North
Atlantic states, in which only a few
fundamental principles are laid
down.
"The failure of many state central
boards to announce definitely the
methods used by them in assessing
corporations delays the solving of the
important problem of correct corpo-

Planting Fir Trees by Million

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 3.-A camp
containing twelve men and boys re-
Gently has been established about 80
miles north of the Columbia river, in
the Columbia national forest to col
lect seed Of western yellow pine,
Douglas fir and noble fir for the use
of the forest service.
In gathering the seed the men climb
the trees for the cones in which the
seed is hidden, because when the
cones fall the seed is lost.
Ultimately it will be used in the
Wind river nursery, near Carson
Wash, where the government raises
100000 trees each year.

CHICAGO STOCKYARDS
UNDER QUARANTINE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The De-
partment of Agriculture has declared
a quarantine against the Union Stock
yards at Chicago, the largest in the
world, "for ten days on account of
the prevalence of the dreaded foot
and mouth disease in certain counties
of Michigan and Indiana
Under the operation of this quar-
antine cattle may be shipped into the
stockyards, but they cannot be
shipped out again except for slaught-
ering and then they must be sealed in
cars and shipped direct to slaughter
house. This will prevent the ship
ment of cattle to farms for breeding
and all other purposes.

Cotton Not to Be a contraband

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3.-The Brit
ish government, through Ambassador
Spring-Rice, officially notified the
United States that Great Britain has
no intention of placing cotton on it's
list of articles that are contraband
of war.
This means that American ship
ments Of cotton to Germany or Aus
tria will not be interfered with. This
action dispels all fear that cargoes
of American cotton will be detained on
the high seas or prevented from reach
ing their destinations.
President Wilson is optimistic re-
garding the cotton situation in the
South. He is certain, he says, that
conditions will improve steadily and
that all that can be done for the re-
lief of cotton growers is being done.
He does not indicate that it is his be-
lief that further legislation will be
required.

the birds will be about the same as
ruled last year.

much lower.
Due to heavy crop, cranberries
this year will sell at the lowest price

Mrs. Housewives delight, cranberry
sauce, will be in abundance.

are cheap, due to the large production
in this state.
Potatoes are selling in Los Angeles
at 10 pounds for 25c, the lowest price
in some time. Celery is being sold
