U. S. CHAMBER SEEKS
INSURANCE TAX SLASH

Because insurance policy holders
paid more than SCI 100000 into
state treasures, only 6 per cent of
which was needed for the upkeep
of state insurance departments. the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce insurance department wants
special state insurance taxes re-
,duced to the total in each state
which will support adequately the
states departmental supervision.
Likewise a uniform principle OF
taxing policy holders should be
adopted throughout the states.
According to the figures in the
chambers bulletin, American policy
holders carried more insurance in
1924 than ever before and the in
crease of special taxes levied were
twice the percentage of the increase
in premiums paid.

Naturally it requires more equip
ment to maintain 9,240 miles of
road than 1t does to maintain 4,318
miles of road.
The work for 1926 contemplates
an increase of 1000 miles over the
miles maintained in 1925. The in
crease in mileage of roads main
tanned in 1925 over 1924, that is,
1900 miles, was by far in excess of
increased mileage for that year
maintained by any other state high
way department in the United
States, and the 2,O00-mile increase
for 1926 is a still greater accom-
consists of gravel and traffic bound
stone roads in the poorer counties
of the state, which have been wait
ing for pavements..
The Ohio division of highways
in adding more miles to the roads it
is maintaining for the year 1925,
than any other state in the union,
must necessarily organize to accom-
plish this task. d This organization
must consist of tools and men.
1t will not be. necessary to pur-
chase as much equipment in 1926
as was purchased in 1925. However,
quite substantial amount will be
needed. The major requirements
for the season have already been or
dered and at present amount to
about $700,000.
All purchases of equipment have
been subject to the scrutiny and ex-
animation of a corps of engineers
employed by State Auditor Joseph
T. Tracy and G.. F. Schleisinger,
state highway commissioner. In this
respect the auditors engineers and
examiners have examined all trans
actions in reference to the taking of
bids and the placing of orders for
equipment.
1t is thus possible for the state
auditor to stop payment in any case

Luther Burbank, aged IT, world
famous plant wizard, died Monday
at his home in Santa Rosa, Cal /,
where he had spent more than 25
years. He was born in Lancaster,
Mass, and was the youngest of a
family of Is. From his youth he
loved flowers. He began life in a
lumber factory, but he disliked ma
chinery. Then he studied medicine
for time, and while studying med
icine he developed the Burbank po-
tato. which he sold for $50. He
went to California in 1875, where
he set up in the nursery business,
which in time grew to a $4,000 a
year business From that time on he
developed new plants, grains, and
fruits, working real plant miracles.
Among them, besides the Bur-
bank potato, which is now universal
ly grown, he evolved a new type of
wheat that added millions of bushels
a year to the worlds crop. Brought
forth the California gladiolus. with
100000 different shades. Made
corn grow to height of eight feet,

with ten to fourteen ears to stalk.
Removed the, spines from cactus and
made the plant bear pears. Remov-
ed the seeds from the orange, de-
veloped a stoneless plum and a
seedless grape. Originated the
beautiful Shasta daisy. Produced
the aramanthus, or molten fire, F"
his proudest work among the flow
ers. Gave perennial growth to a
fspecies of rhubarb, increasing the
size of the stalk from the thickness
of pencil to that of mans wrist.
Produced 1000 new varieties of
plum and prune trees. Developed
a new species of torch lily and
evolved a new camassia, a beautiful
blue flower. Developed fruit trees
that stood freezing weather in bios
som. Developed seedless apples,
and walnut with a paper-like shell
that can be crushed between the fin
gers, Produced mulberry tree
binary mulberry leaves. This in
creased the output of silk and lower
ed the price. Caused walnut tree
ito reach 100 years growth in 10
years Changed the colors of thou
sands of flowers, including the Cal
ifornia poppy, which he changed
from yellow to crimson.
Burial was made underneath the
old Lebanon cedar tree that stands
in the corner of the old Burbank
garden near his home in Santa
Rosa, Cal, which was Burbank's
famous resting place.
