BACK HOME.

Well, folks, how did you enjoy
your vacation this year? It's
getting to be a common saying,
about coming home to rest up
from a vacation.
Home looks better than any
place on earth after we have
been away for a while. The
truest expression in our langu
age, or any other, is: No place
like home"
The second big thought that
occurs to all of US, when we get
back home to running water and
soft beds and conveniences such
as daily mail, is that we are
slaves to Father Time.
Most of the year most of US
toll. We have a few days for
vacation-for relaxation-a pal
try pittance in which we are ex-
pected to recuperate ourselves
sufficiently to "stand the gaff'
for another year.
Many of us-more than will
admit it-really work harder
during vacation than we do dur
ing the balance of the year.
But we enjoy it, because labor
is compulsory.
Perhaps an ideal sort of civili-
zation would be one in which no
one would work unless he had
to. Work then would be fun,
nearly everyone would want to.
Civilation's goal seems to be
to escape from compulsion.
That's the Vacation Spirit.

COLLECTING GAS TAX.

Phoenix, Aug. 30.-All gaso.
line dealers in Arizona today
were collecting the three cent
gasoline tax provided in the
highway financing bill, in &C.
cordance with yesterdays opin-
ion of the state supreme court
holding Governor Hunts veto
ineffective and the tax collecta-
BILE.
State officials had planned to
hold a meeting today to discuss
the effect of the decision on the
affairs of the state highway de.
partment, but the meeting was
deferred until tomorrow.
State Treasurer Wayne Hubbs
said today that the meeting
would be held to determine if
possible about how much revenue
the highway department would
get directly from the tax levies
of the highway bill. 1t is esti-
mated that approximately 76
per cent of the total taxes will
go either direct to the counties
or to the Is per cent fund of the
counties.
Secretary of State James Ker-
by said today that be would bill
all gasoline companies for the
amount of the tax due the state
on gasoline sold since June 9.
All dealers, according to Attor-
ney General John w. Murphy,
are liable for the tax from June
9. MIR. Murphy said that in his
opinion the decision of the su.
preme court made the highway
bill including the gasoline tax
retroactive to that date.
Mr.. Kerby also announced to.
day that be is preparing form
of exemption to be sent to all
dealers of gasoline for use in
applying for exemptions from
the tax. Under the bill only
gasoline used in motor vehicles
is subject to the tax.

The incorporation of FarmBu
reau organizations throughout
the state under the laws of Ari.
zona will be carried out imme.
diately as one of the important
consequences of the recent an
nual regional convention of the
Federal of Farm Bureaus held
in Salt Lake City, according to
announcement by G. S. Brown,
state president.
Mr.. Brown, who resides in
Tucson and heads the Farm Bu.
reau in Arizona, has just return
ed from the convention, at which
we're delegates Of the bureau
from eleven western states.
More constructive work was
accomplished at the convention
than at any previous meeting,
declared the state president, who
stated that Farm Bureau activi.
ties were thoroughly standard
lied.
General incorporation of
state, county and local Farm
Bureau organizations through.

rapidly as feasible.
THE four phases of the &C.

Bureau will also be carried out
in Pima county and throughout
Arizona, the Importance of this
having been emphasized at the
regional conferences.
These activities comprise edu,
cational. legislative, social and
financial work, and according to
the attitude adopted by the con.

this equal stress will occur here.

TELL THE TRUTH.

At the time the Pittman Act
was passed during the world
war, criticism was raised that it
was merely to benefit the silver
producers.
The facts Of the case were
that England needed silver to
supply India to pevent silver
revolution in the country. The
only possible sources of supply
we're the silver dollars in the
United States treasury.
Our government made a con
tract with England to melt up
some 200, 10000 OOO of these dollars
which the British government
was to buy at 81 .O1-5 per ounce.
Our government was to rebuy
new silver as it was mined. from
American silver producers at 81
an ounce and thus replace the
amount taken from its treasury.
American producers agreed to
this and when silver was selling
on an open market at $1.3O an
ounce and higher, they deliver
ed their silver to the govern
ment at 81 an ounce. Later,
when silver dropped below 81
they continued to deliver at 81
an ounce until the government
had replaced it's stock.
It is unfortunate that Under.
Secretary Gilbert in his recent
statements, makes it appear that
American silver producers re-
ceived a bonus of $62, 900, 900
under the Pittman Act. Any.
body who takes the trouble to
look at the facts will know that
this is not true.
The American government did
not lose a penny, producers were
paid no bonus as the money
which paid for silver came from
England.
There is no sane or approvable
reason why the public should be
subjected to misleading repre-
sentations when the actual truth
is so easy to ascertain. The

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

In it's campaign against swind.
lers, especially sellers of worth.
less stock, the federal govern
ment will not only prosecute
those it believes to be guilty,
but will warn the public when
its suspicious are aroused. This
was manifested when the Int.
rior department warned the pub
lie to scrutinize offers of stock
in so called platinum producing
companies preferred by uncru-
pulous promoters" 1t was ex.
planned that although the Un
tied States, from widely scatter
ed sources, produces only a few
hundred ounces of platinum a
year, certain promoters have
made extremely fanciful an.
nouncements regarding proper.
ties claimed to contain platinum
in commercial quantities. These
promoters bolster their claims
by the display of erroneous as,
says which in some instances
have reported values as high as
$25, 900 worth of platinum to the
ton."
The safest course before in
vesting is to confer with invest
ment banker and at least give
him a chance to look into the
situation and give your the ben
eft of his expert advice. 1t costs
nothing, so why take a chance.

windows on Monday. Dec. 10. Pur-
chasers of 1924 plates should bear
in mind that these must not be at

first of January.
The shipment of plates received
on mail applications will begin this
week and continue until December
is. From December Is until Christ
mas, no mail shipments will be
made on account of the congestion
of the Christmas mails. 1t is be-
lieved that it will be to the advan-

Good Methods
the Secret for
Good Milk Supply

"Clean, wholesome milk with low
bacteria count can be produced at
little extra cost and work." said
State Dairy Inspector Bargour in a
statement Wednesday.
1T is not necessary to install high
priced equipment and build model
barn to be able to produce milk as
pure as water supply. Good milk
can be made in the average barn by
using good methods.
Methods mean more in milk pro-
duction than any amount of equip
ment. If dairyman uses good
methods he cannot help but obtain
a good product. Poor methods can
not make good milk with the aid of
all the equipment that can be OBJ
tanned. If a dairyman has a hooded
milk pail he can keep out considera-
BILE dirt and consequently many bac-
terra; but if he does not properly
sterilize this pail he cannot expect to
obtain good milk. Without good
methods the hooded pail, or other
equipment which enchances the pro-
duction of clean product. is useless.
Modern equipment helps greatly
in the production of a better product
when properly used. Such devices
as the small-top pail, the cotton
