STATE TAXES FOR
1926 RENTED /!
Blaine Announces Re1nis-
sion of State Taxes for
the Entire Year.
BOOMERANG TO CITY
Study of Situation Reveals that
Change Will Mean Re-
mission Of $50, 900 Here.

Madison, Wis., .y Remission Of
all state taxes. for 1925, payable in
1926, was announced today by Gov
ernor Blaine. The taxes wiped out
amount to nearly seven million dollars.
The executive announced that the
remission has been filed with the
secretary of state. The state tax levy
for state purposes for 1925, including
the seven-tenths mill tax for the CONF
mon schools, is estimated at $6,922,-
1895. The states share of the pro-
ceeds of the income tax, under the
tax bill passed by the last legisla-
ture, is estimated at $4,414,673.20,
leaving balance Oh the state tax levy,
for the common school of $2,507, 479.85.
The balance was wiped out by the
emergency board, which applied ST.
507,479.85 out of the surplus in the
general fund in the state treasury
toward the state tax levy for the
common schools. The enc rgency
board consists of the governor. state
treasurer and secretary of state.
81 have never felt 1t necessary to
explain or justify the income tax bill
passed last winter" Governor Blaine
said, ''as / am convinced that the bene-
fits flowing from the tax bill would
amply justify its passage. The tax
bill and administration economy wipe
out the entire state taxes, including
the seven-tenths mill tax for the COM
mon schools, and save the farmer, the
home owner and the business man an
aggregate property tax of nearly
s7,O00,0Oo, within a year after the
bill was passed"

Canes Given By
Lincoln AS Emblems

Albuquerque, N. M, Dec. 15-(AP)
In 1858 President Lincoln gave sill
yer mounted canes to each of thir-
teen governors of pueblos among the
Pueblo and Zuni Indians in New
Mexico, on the occasion of their visit
to Washington. Today these canes
represent the emblem of authority in
the pueblos. They have been handed
down from governor to governor.
Lincoln's memory. through the
canes, still stands as the symbol of
authority - the recognition Of the
Great White Father for his redskin
children of New Mexico.
Accounts of the visit Of the Pueblo
governors to Washington indicate
that the President intended the canes
only as personal gift. But the In
dian chieftains took them as con-
firmation of their authority to rule
the pueblos. Thus they became scep-
tiers of power, and now they are
known as Ceremonial canes" and are
carried by the governors while per-
forming important duties Of office.
A quarter of a century ago a cere-
monial cane figured in a controversy
between Pueblo Indians of Espanola.
N. NJ, and an Indian service official
that nearly led to serious trouble.
The white official took away the cane
from the pueblo's governor and gave
it to the man whom he desired to ele-
vate to the office. The wrath of the
Indians was aroused and the govern
ment Modified their grievance only
by trying the official and giving him a
suspended sentence.
The governor of a pueblo is elected
at certain periods by the cacique or
council Of the elders.

Cross Breed Sheep
For Better COlOrs

Shiprock, N. NJ. Dec. 15-(AP)-
The Navajo Indian, stalwart
nomad of the Painted Desert, has
gone far afield to improve the strain
of the sheep which provide wool for
the famous Navajo blankets.
Successful experiments with Kara
kul sheep, imported from Asia, have
led to steps taken to renew the
Karakul blood among the native
sheep of the reservation by the i'm
portation of more of these rare
animals.
The Karakul sheep is the source of
a valuable fur known to furriers as
Broadtail, Persian Lamb. or Astra-
chan. The cross between the Kara
kul and native Navajo sheep has
produced an animal bearing a beau
tiful wool, not too fine for rug
weaving. ranging in shades through
tan, yellowish brown and reddish
brown.
The Navajo sheep owner. as a
rule, sells his entire clip of wool to
the traders of the reservation, re-
CARELESS, Of color of the wool. The
trader sorts the "off" colors and
stores them in the wool room. Later
the Navajo women. who are the
weavers of the blankets which have
made the tribe famed throughout the
world, visit the wool rooms at the
trading posts. They select and re-
possess themselves of such portions
of the "off" colored woods as they
may need for weaving purposes.
Although many attempts have been
made among eastern manufacturers
to color wool artifically for weav-
ing, in imitation of this natural
product, the dyed woods fail by a
wide margin to bring the prices de-
manded for the rugs and blankets
fabricated from the natural product.

Hog Raiser Has
Ups and Downs

ket prices for corn and hogs when
he has to decide how many sows to
breed. This plan fails to allow for
the time that must pass before the re-
suits of breeding decisions thus made
will be felt in a larger or smaller move
ment Of hogs to market. The number
of hogs on the market at any given
ditiOns then existing, because the
amount of the supply was determined
months previously on the conditions
prevailing at that time. Here is where
the hog cycle starts. Boosting pro-
duction when prices are at their peak
and cutting it down heavily when they
are low means hog supply nearly al
ways too large of too small, since
price conditions almost invariably
change before changes in breeding pol
icies have their effect in an increased
or lessened supply Of hogs.
If the farmer could know what prices
will rule when the hogs from the
sows they are breeding will be ready
for market, they could better adjust
the supply of hogs to the demand.
They could diminish the ups and
downs of production that are the bane
of the hog industry. Economists in
the Department of Agriculture have
worked out method of forecasting
hog prices which has been thoroughly
tested, and which makes it possible for
the trend of the hog market to be
foreseen far enough ahead and with
enough general accuracy to give the
farmers better and safer basis for
gauging production than they can
ever get from watching the current
markets.
