CITY OF SANTA FE TO
HAVE OCCUPATION TAX

'sn""inl Correspondence to The journal. }
Santa Fe, Dec. 19.-The occupa-
ton tax ordinance. expected to
raise from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually in revenue for the city, has
been passed by the council as the
city's heavy load of Indebtedness,
since the council finally awoke to
the fact that the city was worse
than flat broke. The first. passed
less than a week ago, was the or
djnance licensing automobile driv-
ers.
The occupation tax ordinance,
which was drafted by City Attorney
j. ]. Kenny. takes all occupations
heretofore taxed, but most of them
at higher rates and many others
omitted from the old ordinance. In
fact the new measure applies to all
businesses and professions taxable
under the state law and places
heavy rates on itinerant peddlers,
auctioneers, merchants and trav-
cling show, carnivals and other
amusement for the protection of
local enterprises.

ton with the states, including fl
nancial aid, in determining upon
and putting into effect under au-
thority of the states such meas
ures of fire protection and timber
cutting as will perpetuate rather
than destroy our forests.
Present Appropriation Inadequate.
The present appropriation of
the forest service for the cooper
alive fire protection of forested
watersheds of navigable streams is
wholly inadequate for this purp ose,
both in amount and in authority to
determine the essential require
ments and cooperate with the
states in bringing about their en-
forcement. Cooperation should be
extended to thirty five states,
which contain approximately 3l5,-
100000 acres of state and privately
owned forest land. Less than oue-
half Of this land is now receiving
any protection from forest fires. At
a minimum average cost of IL
cents per acre, the yearly charge
of protecting the state and private.
ly owned forest land of the coun-
try would be approximately $4,725,-
600
"A federal appropriation Of
$1,000, 900 is the minimum that
should be available as the nations
share in this enterprise. The use
of such fund in cooperation with
the states, under the general di-
vision of costs which has brought
such SPLENDID results in agricul-
tural extension work and the con-
struction of public highways, is the
most direct and effective attack
that can be made upon the great
problem of timber depletion. 1t is
an expenditure of federal MONEYS
amply justified because, in assur-
ing supplies of timber which would
otherwise be lacking, it will be Of
direct benefit to every user of wood
in the United States"
