that in some cases h holder of the

The increasing importance OF cas-

Indicated in the formation of n new

new organization Is the Association OF
Natural Gasoifne Producers. Tempo

Matters requiring the immediate at

These proposed changes will be sub

the casinghead people for comment.
and with h idea Of getting helpful as
distance concerning these regulations.
This is probably the most vital mat
ter that will come before casinghead
manufacturers for some time. and will
require the most careful consideration
and thought on their part.
O) The question OF markets for
raw casinshead must be given atten-
ton by the casinghead manufacturers
10 the end that certain specifications
for casinghead gasoline be adopted. II
there Is any hope Of stabilizing the
casinghead industry. it can be done
only through standard Specifications.
(c) Education and publicity. 1t is
essential that much education and pub

proper status OF ~ossinghead gasoline

EVEN SCHOOL TAXATION
HAS A LIMIT

The state university wants s600,O 900

which the Rockefeller foundation of
fers to finance u medical school in
Colorado. If the state will put up
this money the University viii raise
the balance of $150,000, making an
other three-quarters of a million.
However desirable the hospital may
be there is limit to taxation, particu-
larly in these days of readjustment
The taxpayers of Colorado have just
voted the state schools one mill tax
to raise 81 100000 year. We did
this. on the promise that the schools
would use only enough for their alb
soute needs. This, the school heads
decided could be managed with the
half-mill levy or s75000O divided
among the five schools in proportion
to students, needs and attendance. OF
this the university would get the mai
or part, as the biggest toad in the
puddle. Now, if they want 5000, 600
more, it is question whether they
get It. If the university is willing to
let its share of the new levy pile up
till it gets enough to match the Rock
efeller foundation money, then we'll
and good, but why ask the legislature
for that?
