COX ADVISES
RAILROADS TO
PLANT TREES
Says Railroads Can Prevent
Blockades With Trees
As Shelterbreaks.

st. Paul, Mimi. March 17.-Recent
znow blockades OF railroads and other,
transportation facilities, throughout
the state, are a result Of inadequate
preparation, W. T. Cox, state forester.
said in advocating the planting of
shelterbelts of trees, along cuts and
Hills, which would serve as s'live snow
fences"
The railroad companies suffered
because of the snow and ice block"
ades. through the inability to move
traffic, aud the general public suffer
Cd with them, as a result of these
transportation companies failing to
plant effective shelterbelts of trees,
tive SNOW fences made of boards"
Mr.. Cox said.
TT has been amply demonstrated
that a plantation of trees six or
eight rows wide, placed at a proper
!, distance from the railroad cuts, will

after it is properly planted and reach
cs q mature age, requires practically
no care, and eliminates the economic
loss now experienced with board

N Comparing the actual cost Of a
ordinary board fence, the tire planta-
ton in its initial cost probably is a
little greater, Mr.. Cox stated. But
when the plantation is once establish
ed, the trees are in place for many
years and become annually more eff

'tThe subject of live snow fences is
pne calling for the attention of rail-
road directors" he said. THE gen
eral managers and superintendent
are too busy bucking snow and other
obstacles, and usually are not given
sufficient authority to deal c%onstruc-
lively with snow control" &
Mr.. Cox also condemned the me-
ethod of. cutting off the tree tops and
branches of young growth, particular
" in the northern sections, to make
temporary snow fences. This me-
thod, which has been followed by

Relating To Pierce

to the supreme court has been taken
for the Great Northern railroad by
James c. Davis. agent of the president
under the transportation act, i'm an
effort to set aside an alleged excess
school tax Of $931.97 in Pierce .coun-
ty, the county treasurer and county
being the defendants.
The railroad. paid ~$51.s5S.7S> taxes,
OF which $s31.97 was paid under pro-
test, 1t being alleged that the 1919
tax limitation law was violated.
THE amount paid under protest
exces taxes due to the fact
that tax levy Of one mill was extend
ed o neach dollaraof the taxable prop
erty in the county for the support Of
tho public schools instead OF such a
rate bf tax levy as would produce an
amount not exceeding more than 20
per cent the amount that would be
produced by the levy of the maximum
rated provided by law upon the as

10 mills on the 1919 valuation Will
produce the largest amount that can
