if they could find any living victims.

explosion before the rescuers were
able to penetrate through the passages
where the deadly blast had destroyed
so many lives. There they found dead
men strewn about, while others were
helpless from injuries.
One group of Is men were found in
a pitiable plight, their clothes having
been mostly stripped from them by the

COOLIDGE ACTS TO
AID GRAIN FARMERS
Sends Message to Congress
Proposing FiDe Steps.

Washington. President Coolidge
outlined methods by which congress,
the national executive and private in
terests can cooperate for the relief OF
the agricultural financial situation in
the Northwest. In a special message
to congress he proposed:
1. Refunding the pressing past-due
Indebtedness of farmers in the terri
tory most seriously acted.
g. Assisting wheat-growers by means
of federal agency, to change from a
one-crop system to diversified farming.
8. Restoration Of impaired capital Of
banking institutions wherever In dis
tress regions it would be helpful.
A. Creation by private capital Of a
substantial financial corporation to as
sist the process of reorganization
8. Extension of the time during
which the War Finance corporation
can make loans.
"The economic situation in certain
wheat-producing regions in the North
west is reaching an acute stage" the
President said, "that requires organ
lied cooperation on the part of the
federal government and the local in
stitutions Of that territory for its so
lution.''
The foregoing measures, he said, are
the ones by which, without undue
alarm or agitation, but nevertheless
promptly and effectively, we can bring
to bear on a serious, though, happily,
a localized emergency, every resource
of the federal government, and all the
assistance which the business and
farming community can render.

Automobile Taxation
Lions Club Luncheon
B Cub Higley)

Only minor business matters were
taken up during the course OF the
Lions weekly luncheon Thursday,
nothing of immediate local interest
being before the Club at this time.
A communication was read from
the District Governor complimenting
the Rawlins Club on the size and en-
thusiasm Of the Rawlins delegation
which was present at Cheyenne on
the occasion OF International Presi-
dent Newman's visit to that den.
Cub Daley gave a short resume of
certain legislation which is proposed
to facilitate the collection of taxes
on automobiles. 1t was pointed out
that a very large proportion of the
automobile property tax is lost to the
state and county at this time because
of the removal of cars from the coun-
ty or state before the tax is due.
1t Is hoped that legislation may
be developed which VIII. permit Of
the property tax, Or its equivalent,
being collected at the time the annual
license is procured. and the import
ance Of such a plan may be appre-
ciated when it is realized that sew
eral thousand dollars annually are
now being lost in Carbon county
alone in uncollectible taxes on auto
mobiles.
