OF the ten-year project for permanent
six-foot channel in the Missouri river

an adverse report of the district engineer

fled to provide only for removal Of snags
on the ground that commerce did not
warrant a permanent channel. The pro-
jeet involves expenditures OF $4,000 900,
Of which s625O,OOo has been appropriated

from the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture toward the county agents
salary and expenses than any other
counties in the state. The expense
to Lewis county for sustaining this
Office is only ] cent per acre per
year on the strictly tillable land.
Certainly the farmers derive that
much benefit from the office.
That, according to the manufac-
turing plans of thirty large rubber
tire companies in the United States,
their output during the present cal
ender year will exceed 100000
tires, of an average value of $40 at
retail. The remaining smaller COM
panies, supplying local trade only,
produce about 1,000,0 900 tires in
twelve monies worth $18 to $22 a
piece. The total value of tires used
in 1o15, including solid tires for
trucks, tires for buses and taxicabs,
amounts therefore to S250,O0o,OO0|
in round numbers. To this sum
should be added about 100000 mo-
Iorcycle tires, worth from SIS to $40
each.

The tax levy for state and county
purposes in Clearwater county is a
triae over 24 per cent, or to be
exact Is 32-100 mills on the dollar.
The school levy at Orofno is 10
mills and the levy for the city is
Ia 25-100 mills; bringing the total
tax on taxable property in that city
up to very small fraction less than
FIVE per cent. This is too much for
any town. 1t indicates an unhealthy
condition somewhere. Desireable
capital can hardly be expected to
seek investment where it has to pay
such tax, unless it has extraordin-
airy opportunities tor long profits, and
such conditions are only transitory
and result in no perma-
nent good to the community where
they obtain. Improvements are
necessary, but to overburden an in
stitution with taxes or debts in order
% make them is not good.
