Birth of A New County

The following is taken from an
editorial in the Arlington Bulletin Of
December 10th:
There are a number of big things
to be done, namely, organizing the
north end of Gillian and Morrow
counties into new county with har-
monious interests"
Webster defines harmonious as be-
ing agreeable, symmetrical, symph-
oniouS and concordant. If Arlington
and Boardnan can not be all Of that
we feel that Webster lived in vain.
We should like to expand with this
idea. Baker and Pendleton are plan
ming on dividing the state, We should
like to ask Arlington if ii could be
"synphonious with the capital of
this new state located at Boardman,
we being fully symmetrical with
the county seat at Arlington. With
the past display of unwashed politi-
cal linen we feel We have a right
to ask for this new capital, situated
as We are on the banks of the mighty
Columbia and at our very door, the
Mother Lode Of Soapstone. If this
has a discordant note may We sug
gest that we make it concordant BY

So much depends here on the success
of the farmer and stoCkman, and

The 1925 fair tax proposition
was passed by the legislature in the
form of a gasoline tax, but it is a
question now as to whether the action
will be sustained by the supreme
court. President Roy Ritner of the
senate, upon the advice of the Attor-
ney-General, refuses to sign the mea-
sure, owing to the fact that there was
not the sufficient sixteen votes re-
quired by the constitution to pass a
measure in the senate-ffteen votes
having been cast in its favor to four
teen against. The question will go
up to the supreme court for settle

Buffalo Becoming Too Numerous for
 Yellowstone Park

Yellowston Park, wyo, August 15. The problem of the buffalo has re- versed itself.
 few years ago the monarch of the plains was chief figure in the drama of dying species. The prob- lem today is how to feed and take care of the rapidly multiplying herds
 Yellowstone provides huge hay ranch for the sole purpose of feeding the interior, under whose supervision covered the grazing pastures. But so yspidly is the park herd growing that ficient food.
 This question is now being taken back to Washington by Edward C. Finney, first assistant secretary of the interior, under whom supervision come the national parks MT Fin ncy has just ended tour of inspec- tion here, accompanied by Park Su- perintendent Horace / Albright To show him the growth of the herd a buffalo run was arranged and in a spectacular stampede more than 500 animals were driven down from hill and plateau.
 There is still another problem About 100 young buffalo have made their appearance this year and most of them are bulls. Now, bulls are not as popular as cows and yet, under the present laws. they may not De killed. Furthermore, park officials already have almost run out of places to give them, to.
 So the secretary has somewhat of ' pigs is pigs" problem on his hands.

of the naval reserve force of the ma 'rine corps en reliNsed from active duty at the same rate as authorized for officers or the regular navy.
 For several years Senator Harri Son has had a bill before Congress authorizing and directing the Secre- tary of the Navy to remove the stigma that has attached to the sep aration from the United States navy of these officers and midshipmen, but has heretofore been unable to get favorable action. Only last week Secretary of the Navy Denby, in a report to the Senate committee on naval affairs, which was considering Senator Harrison's bill, advises that the department does not view with favor the enactment of this legisla- tion.'
 Admiral A. o. Wright of the Con federate navy and officials of the United Confederate Veterans and Sons of Veterans have been actively interested for several years in the passage of this legislation.

ADJUSTMENTS BY EsTEI.LE BETHEA HAIR
ENTERTAINING ACTS
 AT LOEW,S BIJOU

A warm and hearty welcome that greeted Jack Hoxie, the hero of real western thrillers, at Loew's yester- day afternoon, proved hardly warmer or more hearty than the man him self. MT. Hoxie is a straight-fr the shoulder westerner, and was dressed in the cowboy clothes that he wears in the movies. He said in his short speech that he wanted to say that he meant to give movie fans honest to goodness western pie tures," and the picture shown, Dead Or Alive" which stars him, is truly that.
 An accordionist and player of the flute appeared second. They are rare players, their music having a iazzy syncopated time that puts the audience in dancing mood.
 Delight and Marmon begin their act with little novelty in reading rhymes by candle light. The rhymes are very witty and brought the laughs. The couple sing and step about, are attractive in general and do excellent team work. Long ap- plause at the end of their act at tested their popularity.
 A really human and original mar ried skit came next. Gordon and Jolic are artists who go just far enough and no farther. Their little quarrel with its bright ending is en- tertaining and agreeable and full of witty sallies.
 A man with a funny walk and an untimely sneeze makes the last act scream. There are gymnastics, but they are mostly used for the purpose Of fun.

900 ,O00 The time for the determlna- ton and final assessment of any tax due under the new bill would be three years after the return was filed in stead-of five as at present and the amount of tax due under any return made under prior tax acts would have to be determined and assessed within five years after the return was made, unless the commissioner of internal revenue and taxpayer consented in writing to a later tune.
 Provision also is made that no suit or proceedings for collection shall be begun after the expiration of five years after the date the return is filed.
 After an assessment is made and before final payment of the taxes due interest on the amount would be computed al the rate of per cent a year. instead of 1 per cent montn as at present.
 Some Amendments
 Among amendments, to income ts ' provisions is one permitting, after December S1, 1920. deduction of net loss from net income of the sue ceeding table year. If the net loss is in excess of the next income for the next taxable year the bill provide 5 that the amount of such excess shall be allowed as q deduction in conn putting net income for the taxable year following. Under the present law, losses must be taken for the year on which a return is made.
 Another. amendment, drawn to meet a supreme court decision provides specifically for the exemption of stock dividends from taxation bug says distribution made by a cor poration to it's shareholders or m em- bers shall be included in the gross income of the distributes and of the date when the cash or other prop erty is unqualifiedly made subject to their demands"
 Other changes set forth the basis for determining the gain derived or loss sustained from a sale or other acquired after February 2S, 1933
 To Meet Terms
 To meet the terms of another de- cision of the supreme court the bill redefines capital gain from the sale of exchange capital assets corr summated after December 31. 1920' and capital loss to mean edeductibie loss resulting from the sale or ex- change of capital after December 31, 1920.
 Among legislative features in the bill is one giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to issue $500 - 000.0o0 additional short dated secur- ities making the total authorization for such securities, s7,500, 000, ,00o.
