URGE A new
HIGHWAY ROUTE

That members of the Kootenai VAL
ley Commercial club are interested in
securing a new route for the state
highway between Moyie Springs and
Leonia was evidenced by the dis
cussion at last Tuesday nights meet
ing. Members of the club claimed
that by crossing the Moyie river at
the head of the falls and following
the outer edge of the first flat
level road could be obtained which
would cost but little for upkeep,
would provide a scenic route and
would do away with steep grades
and at the same time save about
eight miles of roadwork and open up
a rich agricultural district. Members
of the club also stated that by chang
ing the present route the Moyie could
be spanned with a bridge at very
narrow point. They claimed that
the Eileen route passed through sew
eral swamps which would be next
to impossible during the winter
months.
In urging that a new route be
secured the club members felt that
the present road up Moyie hill should
not be closed. 1t was argued that
the proposed new route would work
no hardship on the people of the
Curley Creek district and that in
fact it would prove boon to most
of them. 1t is probable that COM
mittee will be appointed to take the
matter up with the board of county
commissioners before any certain
route is finally determined upon.

KORE REYEEUE FOR THE STATE

Having had difficulty in collectin.
some of the State license money from
certain forms of mercantile business
partly through evasion and partly in
effective laws. State Revenue Collect
or John Titus had a number of bills
introduced in the legislature by Re
preventative Downward which, he be-
lieves. will correct the trouble, and
net the State probably $4,000 per
year more in revenue. He also had
some bills introduced taxing some
kinds of business heretofore exempt
though kindred lines of trade have
been paying license right along.
One bill imposes a license fee, in
proportion to the amount of business,
on distributors Of goods, as well as
sellers. This will tax nonresident
and other agents who claim they only
deliver the goods.
Another bill requires local agencies
of business houses in other states to
keep local records of all business done
in Delaware, which records shall be
accessible at all times to the State
Revenue Collector. Some agencies
now keep their local accounts at their
home Offices and the collector cannot
consult them as to the amount of bus
mess done.
Under the present law unmarried
business women whose annual busi-
ness is less than $1,000 a year are
exempt as is the case with widows
who are in business. One of the bills
introduced removes the exemption for
women. exempting only
Another bill taxes all laundries.
which will include Chinese, who here
-ofore have been exempt. Women who
wash for a living are EXEMPT.
