the actual work on it When Mr..
Nichols heard that the building
was started, he sent enough money
to finish buying the logs.
At this point several other men
became interested: George Chase,
the architect; Howard Bell, the
County Engineer of Park county:

With the peal of the Liberty Bell away back In. ITS
there came to life in the heart of every American, a pa
t1otlsm, a love for ones home and country-a willingness
to defend and glorify, so that all the world would heed
the place of ones abode.
Monday is the Fourth of July the Nations Birthday. While
we are celebrating the event, let US pause a moment and give
serious thought to what the day stands for in the lives of every
American citizen. First of all it stands for Freedom for the
citizens of the United States-freedom to live our lives in an
upright manner-freedom in our religious worship-freedom of
business operations to the greatest extent as enjoyed by any
nation of people. 1t stands for the birth of the greatest and best
nation on the face of the globe.
The Fourth of July is a time for celebration, but we should
never forget the great debt we owe3to our forefathers who rang
the old bell so many years ago. We should try to emulate them
to practice gcSd citizenship, to endeavor in every way to make
our nation 8 bigger and a better one with each succeeding
birthday.

Rumors are prevalent that there
will be a pipe line from Oregon
Basin to Greybnfl. as soon al the
Oregon Basin oil field is developed
to the extent that production will
warrant building, the carrier. Con-
siderable money Is being spent on
the refineries at Greybull, remodel
ing and refittingl the stills there to
handle the heavy oil of several
of the Basin oil fields. There is
already a line connected with the
Hamilton and Hidden Dome fields
with the Greybull refineries. and
1t seems only likely hat the oil
from Oregon Basin would go that
way also.
Work is progressing with the
pipe line from Oregon Basin to the
loading station at the Burlington
tracks, and the tanks are to be
erected at once. The booster pump
for use in the Basin was unloaded
Sunday and will be placed on its
location in the field.

SCHOOL BOARD CANNOT
APPEAL RULING ON TAX
(continued from page ID

was naturally much concerned, as
that amount taken from the school
taxes might greatly reduce what
wuld be received for the operation
of the public schools. The board
several weeks ago inquired Of the
Attorney General as to whether or
not the board could appeal from the
decision Of the tax commissioner and
if not who could take such an appeal.
Mr.. Switzerland in his opinion
held that the State Board of Educa-
ton has no authority over the ex-
penditure of moneys for the opera
tiOn of the schools appropriated by
the Legislature but has nothing to do
relative to the collection of the
school funds and consequently could
not take an appeal on the subject of
the collection of taxes from ruling
of the Tax Commissioner.
In concluding his opinion Mr..
Switzerland pointed out how an ap-
peal could be taken as follows: "I am
accordingly of the opinion that the
State of Delaware through its At
torney General has the right to pros
ecute an appeal from the tax COM
to the State School Tax
Board, for the purpose Of obtaining
review of the decision of the tax
relating to the taxabil- /,
ity of dividends"

Continued from page u

Commenting on the program as
outlined Mr.. Ingram called attention
to the discussion of "Our States

League dealing with facts which
every banker in the state should
know. The address by Dean Steph-

important topic of the rate of in
terest paid on deposits, subject in
which every banker is interested
with the new situation in the in
vestment markets In speaking of
the address of Mr.. Cahall, Mr.. In
gram said: II have been privileged
to hear this address and to nv mind
lt is one which every man in the
state holding the office of a bank
should hear. 1t is an on
portunity to know, from a legal
standpoint, just what are the duties
he responsibilities and the Iiabili-
les connected with this position of
rust and I am confident the hear
ng OF 1t will result in better SER
nee to banks by their directors"
Inc Officers of the association
seem to be particularly pleased in
having obtained H. B. Wells for the
banquet speaker. Judge Wells de-
lvered an address before the associ-
-tlon about four years ago and the
memory of it is a guarantee that
his part of the program will be not
My instructive but decidedly enter
aiming. Owing to the enlarged IA
1lit1es at the Hotel Henlopen this
ear the bankers will bring the
aides along and they will be well
omed to all the sessions.

DEL-MAR-YA CLEARING
HOUSE PLAN ENDORSED
BY SEC'Y JARDINE
continued from first pagel

this plan is in accord with propos
ais which 1 have endorsed DeIore
but success depends on the Wiling
ness of farmers to organize on
large scale and to adopt strons
business policies. The Govern
ment cannot hand the farmers
plan and expect it to work wlthou'
effort on their part.
Producers must be willing tc
build from the bottom up. Ihey
must forget any quarrels with local
leaders and organizations, and
federate their locals into regional
and national organizations handling
large volumes of business. The
best minds, experienced in the trade
must head such organizations.
eve cannot lay out on paper an
elaborate sheme for cooperative
marketing, have some Government
officials press the button at Wash
ington, and then find wonders ac-
complished for organization. 1t can
not be done that way"
Secretary Jardine emphasized the
following:
Farmers themselves must be
willing to act together; leaders of
local organizations must be able to
work together in large features for
a common purpose. Then the Gov
ernment can do a great deal to help
the farmers,
Groups of producers and sect
ions of the country are both to-
gether in an increasingly complex
which demands some
form of control under economic
control. What shall be the nature
Of this control? Shall it be, as
some would have it, controlled by
political Government, attempting
to legislate prosperity to this group
Dr. what? Or, shall it be self con-
-rolled by men organized along the
ines of mutual interest, with politi-
1al government, backed by an in
iOrmed public opinion, protecting
he public interest by prescribing
broad rules of contact"
In discussing, Secretary Jardine's |
statement, DR.. Bomberger said:
L AAO unCqulfOCdl SIdJSulSuI VI |
he Federal Secretary of Agricul-
ure should certainly strengthen
he hands of the Quotation Com
nittee in it's present task of stabil-
zing prices of sweet potatoes and
hould go far to assure for next
ear more unanimous, less hesit-
ting support of the Committee than
t received this year. In the words
f the distinguished secretary, farm
rs themselves must be willing to
ct together; leaders of local organ
cations must be able to work to-
ether for a common purpose"
his common purpose in this case
hould be the support of the new
