 The Standard Oil Company (CaIif- ornia) has more than $50 distribut- ing plants in California, Washing ton, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Ida ho and Utah. Each of these plants has a warehouse and it is upon the roofs of warehouses that the guide- signs will be places. In addition, there are many other buildings suit able to the purpose in the oil fields of the San Joaquin Valley and South ern California, at pump stations on pipe lines, and at refneries.
 The roofs available for signs range from 530 square feet in small towns to several thousand square feet in the large cities, giving in all cases ample room for appropriate signs. Thesigns, consisting of the names of towns, or possibly, in some cases, abbreviations thereof, will be in large white block letters on a dark back ground, giving a high degree of visi- bility. Owing to the fact that the storage tanks are painted white, the Company's distributing plants afford conspicuous landmark from the air and are considered especially suit able for the purpose at hand. They are also all located on railways, which present airways usually fol- low.

RENAL COUNTRY SPORTPARADISE
 SAYS HUNTLEY
SECRETARY OF NEWLY FORMED ANCHORAGE COMPANY IS
 GUEST SEATTLE CHAMBER
ALASKA TO ADVERTISE CHARMS
Extensive Plans to Attract Wealthy Nmrods Is Recited by Seattle
 Publication

Hoow enterprising citizens of An chorage are organizing to advertise and exploit the big game hunting and splendid trout fishing of the Kenai peninsula and other adjacent sections of Alaska with the purpose of making it's the mecca of Americas sportsmen was told the Seattle Chamber of Com merce last week by Robert Huntley secretary of the recently formed Alaska Glacier Tours Association.
 MT. Huntley came down from the North to interest chambers of com merce, commercial clubs and tourists of the Pacific Coast cities in the new associations plans and will visit Port land and the California cities and pos sibly some of the southwestern states befre he returns to Anchorage.
 Opportunities Neglected
 Because tourist agencies in the states have neither the necessary fund of information nor the facilities to give the sportsman what he is looking for in Alaska, the tourist business up to the present time has been conducted on a "tripper" or sightseeing basis, and Alaska has not profited by it as she should" declared Mr. Huntley. Our assiciation, backed by prominent Alaska business men, will work to entertain tourists by arranging hunt ing and fishing trips, dog team rides, horseback tours and other outdoor amusements for them.
 We are planning, beginning this winter, to book selected parties of 20 to 30 persons to leave Seattle every week during the summer to visit Alaska and spend at least two weeks of the month. The round trip will take in what is really worth seeing and will show Alaska as the greatest sportsman's country now on the map
 To Establish Camps
 i've are completing arrangements to establish a number of fine summer camps, cooperating with the Alaska railroad and the other transportation companies, one at the end of Meadow lake trail out of Curry and another at Tustumena or Kasilof lake on the Kenai peninsula, in the heart of re- zion famous for big game and fishing Ultimately we will establish a com plete chain of camps, chalets and summer hotels.
 We shall furnish guides and equip ment for camping and hiking and try to attract to Alaska some of the veal thy sportsmen who now are going into the big woods of Canada every sum- mer All of which will benefit Alaska by bringing in the kind of men who are needed to furnish capital for the development of her natural resources and also help bring desirable tourist travel to Seattle and the other Pacific Coast cities.''
 A Seattle bureau will be esta ablished by his associates MT. Huntley said, as soon as conditions warrant the step.
 MT. Huntley formerly was general storekeeper for the Alaska railroad at Anchorage and resigned to take the secretaryship of the Glacier Tours Association. He left Seward for the south last month

Distributing plants Offer a conspicu-

To assist in the development of aviation, and to increase safety and certainty of air travel, the Standard Oil Company (California), following suggestion from the office of the Chief of Air Service, War Depart ment, will establish a widespread system of guide-signs for aviators along the airways of the Pacific Coast States, giving the Pacific Coast it's only marked airWays and the first of the kind in the country. These signs will take the form of names of towns painted on the roofs of the Compa- ny's buildings. The Army Air Ser vice will also offer cooperation to the Naval Air Service, the Air Mail Ser vice and commercial fliers.
 At first the effort will be clearly to mark the present airways and towns adjacent to flying and landing fields. There are now established airways from San Diego to Seattle and from San Francisco to Reno. Along theseroutes the Company has distributing plants at frequent inter- vals. The towns on these airways which should be marked are now be- ing selected and the signs will be painted at once As other airways are developed and necessity requires, additional signs will be set up.
 The Company has stations at most ports on the Pacific Coast and at these will establish signs for the

PLAIN TALK ABOUT. TAXES

The Evening Journal at Lewis
ton, Maine, says: america is stag
gering under increasing tax bur-
dens. We are told that the tax in
certain Maine towns levied against
farm property is as high as per
cent on the valuation. And the valu-
alton, although low as to sales, is
not low as applied to the general
values of property in the towns as
they average.
"Paul Shoup, talking in California
to the California Bankers Associa-
ton, depicts the conditions in that
state and they are similar to those
in all other states. Mr.. Shoup says:
In 1923, the taxpayers in Cali
fornia paid over $500,000,000 in tax
es, three time as much as in 1912.
The cost of county government in
California has increased fourteen
fold in 81 years. The debts out
standing against county governments
in California were about $3,500,O00
twenty-one years ago. Now they are
over S170,000,000 or so times great
er. Population has increased during
the same period from 1,4S5,000 to
100000 about three times.
Here in Maine, the issue is the
same as in California and in all
other states as to cost of govern
ment and to funded debt and its ac-
emulation. Taxation has become
plan by which we can get the
most feathers from the goose with
the least squawking. And yet, every
body is asking for more public SER
vice, more philanthropies, more PEN
slons, more bureaucratic agencies for
relieving the masses of doing things
themselves.
The public is the goose alright,
but about the time the tax-gather-
ers begin to pull the last of its tail
feathers it is going to squawk and
conditions as pointed out in the
Lewiston Journal are helping it to
realize that the tax eaters are get
ting mighty close to its tail feathers
right now.
If the public loses its tail feath-
ers Savings taken by taxation)
it will be its own fault for, unlike
the goose, it has been given brains
with which to think and it is al
ready objecting strenuously to the
piucking process. Legislators take

BLUE LAW FUTILITY

New Jersey, which has among it's
statutes blue law dating from
1873 may smile at the proposal of
the rigid Sabbatarians to introduce
at Albany bill quite as drastic as
that old specimen of suppression. The
recent campaign against blue law
violators across the river in Hud-
son County was regarded rather hui
morously in New York, but it made
good deal of trouble for Judges
and prosecutors, without any per-
ceptible result except annoyance.
Now the New Jersey Legislature is
being urged to modify the Sabbath
law ito meet present-day condi-
tions." 1t would be astonishing if
New York's legislators showed an
inclination to repeat New JERSEYS
dilemma. The law factory has
enough to do in the way of innova-
ton without turning to the produce
ton of imitation antiques.
Mr.. Beveridge has just spoken for
chilly of the nuisance of excess leg
islation. 1t would require much in
genuity to suggest more futile legis-
lation than a Sunday blue law which
the most incurable optimist could
scarcely expect to see enforced. The
view of the Sabbatarians is entitled
to respect as sincere opinion, but
as basis for legal enactment every
body who accepts life and manners
as they are in New York knows that
it is quite untenable.

GIVES EN- THE GAS

R. A. Lamont of Alliance, Ohio,
recently presented the veterans post
in that city with big gas shell.
And thereby hangs tale.
During the early stages of
Americas part in the World War,
shell manufacturers experienced
some difficulty in filling gas shells
with a liquid that would produce
the required results without cor
roding inside the shell and losing
part of it's authority" Lamont
perfected a formula for a varnish
that remedied the deefct. The gas
shell presented to the Alliance Le-
gionnaires is Lamont's test shell ac-
cepted by the government as suf-
ficiently potent for use on the west
ern front. The shell will be used
as flag holder in the new Legion
quarters, recently dedicated.

YOUR GOD is A COPw


These were the words used by
Sadie Thompson to the preacher who
was bounding her to prison in the
name of religion. Sadie had been a
bad sort, and admitted it. But she
was trying to make new start
in life, and only asked to be let
alone in her attempt to climb out
of the depths.
But the preacher said she was a
menace to society. By coercion and
brutal persecution he secured an
order from the governor to deport
Sadie to prison. When she begged
for chance the preacher only in
suited and brow-beat her!
1t was then that Sadie, as des-
perate as rat in trap, told the
preacher, "Your God is copp
And thereby rests a never-ending
story of misery and grief caused by
supposed Christians who "haye zeal
without knowledge" They forget, if
they ever knew, that GOD is
LOVE-"
Sadie Thompson and the preach
er are characters in that vivid
drama, "Rain," which has played in
New York for nearly three years,
and is now being staged in Phila-
delphia. But it is a truthful repre-
sentation of those vicious humans
who seek to force all others to
abide by their personal opinions.
This play is a thousand-fold bet
ter sermon that you will hear in a
life time of church-going.

STONE AND THE SENATE

The Senate has been told by At
torney General Stone that he takes
full personal responsibility for
pressing the charges against Sena-
tor Wheeler What, then, is the SEN
ate going to do about it? Here is a
man who proposes to do his duty
as he sees it, regardless of the
effect on his confirmation as a
Justice of the Supreme Court. So
far as he is concerned, Senator
who may have broken the law or
violated an oath is not sacrosanct
person. He refuses to be intimidated.
Possibly he made little impress
sion on the Judiciary Committee.
He has enraged some of it's Sena-
tors by insisting that the courts,
not the Senate, shall pass upon the
guilt or innocence of one of its mem
beers. He has refused to take the
word of the Borah committee that
Wheeler, of Montana, has been more
oiDlltd otS dlIlbI lfidll SllllliIiB. Last
summer there were protests that the
Indictment in Montana was an out
rage and calculated to keep Sena-
tor Wheeler away from his Wash
ington duties. Now there is a clam
or that his Indictment in Washing
ton, far from his home cummu-
nifty, is persecution. The new charges
are an affront to the divine rights
assumed by the Senate. Hence all
the furry.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Stone has made
a splendid impression on the coun-
try. He has shown courage of a
high order and a complete indif-
ference to politics. These are adj
mirable qualities. They will adorn
the Supreme bench. His actions in
the Wheeler case are the strongest
of arguments for his confirmation.

WHAT is ALL THE
SHOUTING ABOUT?

Elsewhere in this issue is publish
ed subscribers letter calling at
tention to the rumpus that has been
kicked up by the Hunterdon County
Board of Freeholders . over the
amounts to be paid members of
the election boards.
The writer points out that in
Paragraph 542 of the Election Laws
of New Jersey it is specifically set
forth that $40. a day shall be paid
members Of the boards of elections
for canvasses made of voters. 1t
specifies that this canvass shall be
begun on the second Tuesday of Sep
TENDER and be finished by Friday
of the same week.
Anyone with half sense can easily
realize that it takes longer to make
these over widely scattered popula.
tions, and also where there are
greater numbers to be enrolled in
any one district.
The Freeholders are arrogating
unto themselves an authority alto.

Laws have already outlined these
matters, and they have no legal
right to set them aside.

Farm Accounting
A large number of bankers are rec
ognizing the Importance o. lnVen'
cries, financial statements and farh
accounts and are encouraging the
keeping of records among their FARMER
patrons. Not a few insist on imam
cial statement from the farmer before
making a loan, just as Is required OF
other business men. Such a statement
not only acquaints the banker with
the financial status OF the farmer but
also brings the farmer face to race
with conditions on his farm and calls
attention to opportunities for improve
ment.
In many states county bankers asso-
Citations are being organized with
agricultural committees. In New Jer-
sey every county is thus organized.
Ohio has a representative Of the agri-
ultural committee in every county in
the state. Wisconsin has added thir-
teen agricultural committees to its
county organizations. In Arkansas
educational trains have been run In CO.
operation with the railroads, the Col
Iege OF Agriculture, and others for
stimulating interests in better farm
ing methods. In Oregon the Bankers
Association employs a field secretary
to devote his entire time to carrying
on educational and agricultural iro-
grams. In Kentucky special plans
have been developed for coordinating
the various organizations interested
in agricultural development. Key men,
bankers. have been appointed in sixty
five counties. An annual income Of
$4,000 is provided and field secretary
employed.
1t will be seen that the efforts Of
the Agricultural Commission and the
committees of the various states, in
cooperation with the colleges of agri
culture, have been to formulate work
able programs. The field for work
appears unlimited. The spirit of the
bankers and the colleges is superb and
effective results will be accomplished

In definite programs, but they have
been the means of greatly increasing
interest on the part of bankers. At
the beginning there we're number
OF states that had no agricultural
committees. Others were inactive.
We now have agricultural committees
for each state with the exception of
two, and these have promised to APP
point committees soon.
Banker Influence
The attitude of the bankers is not
that OF attempting to tell the farmers
how to farm, but rather to aid In
bringing about conditions that will
help the farmer to help himself. The
farmer who produces, the agricultural
college that is attempting to improve
the quality of farm products, and the
banker who furnishes the capital are
endeavoring to put their heads to-
gether and perform team work. A
representative of one of the colleges
Of agriculture recently made the state
ment that the bankers could do more
than the colleges for the advancement
OF agriculture. The banker is in posi-
ton to influence the type of agricul-
ture practiced by the farmer patrons.

In some localities farmers seem to
be prejudiced against bankers, due
largely to misunderstanding. There
,s no better way for relieving this
strained relationship than by getting
the banker and farmer pulling togeth-

the community.
