S161, ,4O3 FROM GAS TAX
SINCE LAW IN EFFECT

The state of Idaho has collected a
total of $161, ,403.92 in tax since the
2-cent gasoline tax law went into op-
Grafton April 1, 1928, according to an
audit of the bureaus books recently
completed by B. E. Hyatt, state direc-
tor of public accounts, says the
Statesman. The audit was made at
the request of F. A. Jeter, commits
sioner of law enforcement, to close
out the books kept by A. s. Green,
resigned.
All money collected from the gaso-
line tax goes into the state highway
fund, to be used for road purposes.
The law was passed by the 1923 legis-
lature.
The adult shows that each months
collections since the law became ef-
fective have been larger than the pre-
ceding month. In May approximately
$4,000 was collected; in June, $780,,
900; in July, $4,000, and in August,
$4,000.

CREDITABLE RECORDS MADE
BY TWO UNIVERSITY COWS

Two creditable records were made
recently by Ida U. Segis Colantha,
owned by University of Idaho, &C
cording to an announcement by the
advanced registry department OF the
Holstein-Friesian association OF
America.
This COW at the age of three years
and five months, produced 2357.9
pounds milk, containing 86908 pounds
butterfat, equal to 1O8.63 pounds but
ter in thirty days.
Her record for seven days was 488.-
6 pounds milk, containing 22.601
pounds butterfat equivalent to 28.25
pounds butter.
Advanced registration of Holstein
cattle began forty years ago. The
present plan has been followed for
the past twenty-eight years. Because
it has inspired confidence in the re-
suits obtained this plan has put de-
pendab1e values on tested cows and
made it worth while for dairyman
to test.

SUMMER RAINS MAKE
WEEDY SUMMER FALL0W

Persons who have driven over the
Palouse country recently report more
weedy summerfallow than they had
ever before seen in the country, and
say that the farmer is not entirely
to blame, either. The weather, which
was favorable to the growing crops,
was equally favorable to the weed
crop, and, with a big harvest to
handle, the farmer has not been able
to keep up with the weeds. The
rains which kept the ground soaked
until well along in the summer, re-
suited in a growth of everything
which the Palouse country produces,
including weeds, which was almost
without parallel.
The farmer is now confronted with
the proposition of getting rid of the
weeds before he seeds his summer
fallow, the weeds being so rank on
some pieces that it will be necessary
to cut them out with a disc, rake,
and burn them.
The acreage of summerfallow is
about normal, and the farmers, who
are now practically all through with
their harvest, are eager for a rain,
to put the ground in condition for
seeding. In a few isolated cases,
where the harvest work was finished
early, the crop has been seeded in
the dust.

GRAIN CORPORATION
MAY BE REVIVED
PRESIDENT GIVES EARNEST
THOUGHT TO FARM PROBLEMS-
NO EXTRA SESSION

Washington = President Coolidge
and his advisers still are giving
energetic study to the agricultural
situation but probably will be unable
to come to any conclusion as to pro-
per relief measures before the merit
week. Secretary Wallace, upon whom
has deyolved the task of assembling
data on the subject, will not have his
report ready for several days and
consequently the cabinet at its regu-
lar meeting made no effort to reach
a conclusion.
Several possible remedies have been
suggested to the executive and these
are receiving attention. Others are
to be presented next week, among
them the reviving of the United States
Grain corporation to handle this sea-
sons wheat crop, but whether any OF
these will meet the test OF the ad-
ministration policy for relief along
sound economic lines remains to be
determined.
One development of the situation
was the reiteratiOn at the White
House that the president still is OF
the opinion that there exists no rea-
son for summOning congress in ex-
ira session. The official view is that
so far as pending questions are con-
cerned they can wait for the regular
session, which will open in little
more than two months.
Some time ago Secretary Wallace
suggested that reduction of rates
on agricultural products would help
to get the situation back on a normal
basis, but other members of the cab
met, including Secretary Hoover, of
q M dana 1,t m ont do NOT
favor such a step unless it is accom-
plished by general freight rate ad-
justment on commercial as well as
agricultural shipments.
1t has been pointed out repeatedly,
however, that the rate-maklng func-
tions of the government are exercised
wholly by the interstate commerce
commission acting as the agent OF
congress and that under the const1tu-
ton the executive branch is powerless
to do more than suggest what it
thinks proper. One of the poss1blll-
ties is that the president, after con-
sultation with his cabinet, may re-
commend that the commission under
take new and thorough study of the
agricultural rate situation with
view to such relief action as it may
find feasible.
There is no Indication that Secre-
tary Wallace, to whom the subject
was referred at Tuesdays cabinet dis
cussion, has any remedial measures
to suggest beyond those he has al
ready publicly advocated and it is
expected generally that when the
agricultural departments final report
goes to the White House, it will con-
sist mainly of recapitulatlon OF
world crop statistics. Such COM
pilation Of figures, department offici-
ais believe, will speak for itself and
will demonstrate that present cond1-
tions are due largely to over-produc-
ton

FASHION NOW CALLS FOR FLAIR
ING SKIRTS AND PAINTED FACES

London-(A. P)-Smartly dressed
women of the future must wear
flare" skirts, modified leg-of-mut-
ton sleeves, well-defined waist-lines,
and must make up in doll - fashion,
according to London fashion experts.
The doll +" makeup consists of a
dash of red on each cheekbone, and
another dash in the middle of the
forehead This gives the fair
wearer the appearance of Dutch
doll.
Skirts of the coming season, the
London fashion judges have decreed,
shall be so made that when the
wearer walks the skirt will fill out
like balloon, but when she stands
in repose her draperies will enfold
her as in a sheaf. The ultra-long
skirts, so much in vogue during the
last season, will be abandoned The
new circular, flare skirts are
shorter than those of last year.

SHOW INCREASE IN CHICAGO

Chicago-(A P.) - Despite the
stringent immigration restrictions of
the last few years, applications for
naturalization here have increased to

Thomas V. Sell has announced.
Where formerly immigrants re-
manned unnaturalized for years after
arrival in this country, they now
take out their papers as soon as they
are eligible" Mr.. Sell declared.
THE reason for this is that manu-

immigrant labor are becoming in
creasingly insistent that their en-
ployes be American citizens. or at
least that they shall have taken out
first papers"
