Officer Routed by Yellow Jackets

Acting City Marshal Sloat was put
to rout Tuesday when he attempted to
destroy a large yellow jackets nest
under wooden sidewalk on Sixth
street. Armed with a flaming torch
and a swatting paddle, Mr.. Sloat was
making good headway when the horn
cts grew irate and began to buzz so
furiously that he backed off. Progress
sing a short distance, Mr., Soat stop
ped and 'froze" hoping the pests
would leave him alone. The ruse failed
to work, and with yellow jackets
making a Roman holiday on various
parts of his anatomy, the officer fled.
He returned later and with better pro-
lection against the winged warriors
completed the work of destroying the
nest.
Mr.. Sloat is now displaying badly
swollen hands and puffs resulting from
body stings.

A NEW APPLE
OF GREAT MERIT

United States Department of Agri-
culture, Bulletin No. 587, saws:
The keeping qualities of the Rainier
apples are unsurpassed by any other
variety of the Pacific Northwest that
has yet come to the attention of the
u. >. Department Of Agriculture. Its
ability to retain its firmness, bright
ness and quality with almost no decay
or skin blemish places it above even
the Arkansas Black, Winesap and
Yellow Newtown.
The Encyclopedia Of Practical Horti-
culture says: ''The Rainier apple tree
IS a vigorous grower, inclined to be
spreading, hence capable of bearing a
heavy crop. Its fruit much resembles
the Delicious, but a much better cold
storage apple. Fruit picked during
October 1912 was placed on a table N
a banquet of the international Refrig-
orator Congress, Chicago. in Septem-
ber 1913 in perfect condition"
The Government Pomologists saw.
1T IS the one apple that does not show
some defect from cold storage. Scald
is unknown; decay practically so eat.
ing quality seems 70 improve rather
than deteriorate. "
The Yakima Horticultural Tnion
says, During the entire nine wears
we have handled the Rainier apples we
have obtained higher price for them
than for any other apple. "
Much more such testimony could be
gwen FOR the Rainier. Hood River
growers want the best and deserve the |
best prices. This is the second wear
the trees have been offered from the /
nursery. The price is Just triAe
above the common varieties. Come in /
some day at 2l4l Cascade Ave. David /
son Bldg, and let US talk it over.

friends and motoring alone, he had
made an early start. White Salmon

the accident had not been determined.

WHITE SWAN ASKS
new ROAD SUPPORT

The White Swan, Wash, Commercial
Club has written to the local CONNER
cial Club, asking support for the pro.
posed link Of highway to be built from
White Salmon by way Of Glenwood and
White Swan to Yakima. The letter
points out that the proposed route will
form a magnificent circuit from Port
land to the Inland Empire, the return
trip to be made over the Snoqualmie
Pass by way of Seattle.
The letter states that the surveying
of the new route is practically com
plete. Hood River is expected to be
interested in the new road, as it will
probably result in many cars crossing
the Columbia by ferry here, in order
to make portion of the way into
Portland over the Columbia River
Highway.

THE DAWN

The dawn of better days broke here
last Saturday. 1t came like Kipling' s
thunder"Out of China Cross the Bay. F"
But the Orient for us was the Port
land bond house, Blyth, Witter & Co.,
who stirred our calm a little by offer
ing the big premium Of 81 $50 for our
$3.50. 900 road bonds.
The Loop road program, as far as
Hood River county is concerned, is
working out far better than the most
hopeful Of US who promoted the big
bondsissue last June had anticipated.
1t appears that we are the victims of
exceedingly fortunate circumstances.
After all we are going to have some
money left for other county road work.

South Carolina Tobacco Warehouse
mems Association has agreed to re
quest of the South Carolina Tobacco
Association to pass all tobacco offer
ed on their floors for which buyers
will not bid as much as two cents a

The growers recently asked the
warehousemen to take such action,
saying they wanted to keep trashy
tobacco off the market, and the sec
retary of the warehousemen's asso-
citation today said that effective to-
morrow the rule would be put into
effect. Producers have expressed
much dissatisfaction over prices
since the market opened July 10,
and today said they hoped the two
cent minimum would improve the
situation. The growers organiza-
ton had sought to make the mini
mum three cents but could not get
the warehousemen to go that high.

DISCUSSES TAXES
IN VARIOUS FORMS
Continued from Page IL

place of the excess profits tax big
business must stand an Increase of
| five per cent on the normal corpor-
alton income which have been taxed
ten per cent heretofore. This is a
much smaller increase than business
year it was feared the corporation
tax would have to go as high as
twenty or twenty five per cent to
make up for the repeal of the excess
profit taxes.
Reduction of the transportation
taxes by fifty per cent is going to
be welcome tax. Even the Demo-
Gratis will find it difficult to oppose
this though they will try of course
to embarass their opponents by Of
fering amendments to repeal all the
transportation taxes. The fifty per
cent reduction in transportation taxes
will not however go to the root of
the popular complaint about railroad
rate but that's something which is
up to the railroads and not Con-
gress. The drive for lower freight
and passenger rates has just begun
and the chances are that when
business revival is on in earnest the
railroads themselves will see the ne
cessity of making voluntary reduct-
ions to stimulate more business. New
ertheless the cut of fifty per cent of
government taxes on transportation
will help the railroads in postponing
as long as possible the reduction of
their rates. 1t means new lease of
life for them. They have been ~blam-
ed for high rates when large share
of the money they collect has had to
be turned over to the government.
The purchasers of transportation do
not always stop to compute the
amount of the tax as compared with
the rate charged by the railroads.
Reduction in tax means a cut in to-
tai and the railroads would be glad
to see the whole tax repealed and
would advocate it if it were not for
the fact that they are asking the
government for so much financial
help.
Secretary Melons tax proposals
may be radically changed by the Re-
publican Ways and Means Commit
tee and still further altered when
they reach the Senate but the vital
thing to remember is that a start
has been made. Out of all hte talk
The daily times., 1921-08-03

about tax revision has come at last
a series of concrete suggestions from
an authoritative quarter. Not only
do they represent the views of Presl-
dent Harding and Secretary Mellon
but they reflect the opinions OF
large number of experts who had be-
fore them data as to the sums raised
by all sorts of taxes in the past. The
big advantage which Mr.. Mellon has
over others is that the Treasury ex-
perts assure him absolutely that his
program will raise the money need
ed. Anybody with a new scheme or
with a suggestion to tighten the bur-
den here or make it heavier there
must be ready to prove absolutely
that the change will assure the gov
ernment of it's four and a half bill
