COUNTY
TAX Rate IS
SET AT Sl.5O
Increase of Al Cents
Necessary to Carry
Road Bonds Sold
During Past Year

Cameron county's tax rate this
year will be S1.50, as compared with
Sl.06 for 1927 and S1.10 for 1926.
County Judge o. c. Dancy announced
Monday.
The increase of "a cents over last
year IS due 20 the issuance Of series
B and c road bonds, amounting to
100000" Judge Dancy said.
The county judge called attention
70 the fact the state rate is lowered
3 cents. Cameron county, under the
flood control remission receives the
advalorem tax in excess Of 10 cents.
This will give the county only IL
cents this year IS against Is cents
in 1927.
The only increase comes in fl
nancing the road program. as the
rate for all purposes other than car
rying the road bonds. will be the
anne as last years. OF the $3.50.
SIS cents is for the first 100000
Of road bonds, 3 cents for the road
bonds voted in 1922; Is cents for road
bonds voted in 1919 and 1920, and IS
cents for road and bridge mainten-
ance. making a total of Si.01 for
roads alone. This leaves 80 cents
Of the rate for the jury fund, public
improvements, etc. The general fund
is % cents, and the public improve
ment fun, including courthouse and
Jail is l6 1-2 cents. The county also
has a levee maintenance tax of 5
cents. and a tax Of / cent TO supple
ment the sttae's donation for flood
control.
The prediction was made by the
county judge that Cameron county
could issue the entire 100000 OF
road bonds and keen the tax rate
within $500 and without increasing
valuations except in those sections
receiving road benefits.
CAS- values increase the cost Of car
rying these road bonds will de-
crease" the county judge said. Il
believe the remaining 100000 can
be issued at a rate Of 204 cents on
each million. This would make a
county rate Of $500. but / am sure
that mounting valuations will cut
this down BY 1880 s. the total tax
will not exceed Sl.95 or $500
In commenting upon drainage and
other taxes the county judge said:
The county commissioners levy
the tax for Drainage District No. 3.
the other three drainage districts
have their own tax officers. The tax
this year II 80 cents for maintenance.
% cents for interest and sinking
fund. When this district was orig
inally created. il took 1920 for the
interest and sinking fund alone The
bonds originally issued were S45O.O00.
They have been cut down now so on

IT'S A BIC ONE

The Keratosaurus, flesh eat ing lizard of the Jurrasic age, is seemingly with us yet. In the Cher ski Range of Siberia, 18O by 63O miles, it lives-or they say it does. Over 100 feet long the hairy mon ster is, and 90 feet of beam, and it runs around with an adult carl- bou in it's jaws as easily as you'd carry a cracker in your teeth
 Whether this is an actuality or the result of unripened vodka We don't pretend to say. Ages and ages age such things really walked the earth in plenty, but a living one now,- well, the story of it it is out anyway

THE LOW DOWN ON THE STAFF
 OF LIFE

Three-quarters of the price of a loaf of bread goes to the baker and the retailer according to a recent report of the Federal Trade Com mission. For the past three years the price of bread has been prac- tically 8.55 cents per pound. This is divided thusly: Farmer gets 1.15 cents for the grain The miller
 Al cents for the grinding, the bak CT 5.11 cents for the cooking, the groceryman 128 cents for distrib- uting and the railroad and boats so cents for transportation The groceryman gets more for a loaf by the simple process of wrapping and delivery (mostly over the counter now days in the cities) than the farmer does for blowing, seeding, harvesting, threshing, sacking and delivering The baker gets more than four times as much. Where bakers sell direct, of course the pro- fits are much greater. The trade Commission found, on investigation
 hat the baking houses were doing very nicely. thank you. In fact it reported that the average bread price in the bakeries was about 25 l DOT cent too high.

If you really understand all you know about this business, I'll make a real peace proposition" And he read to lhe peace makers what Russia considered something worth while in this troubled world of ours. 1t was this: Instant disbandment of ALL ARMED FORCES.

HERE'S TO THE U. s. B. E.

InlS IS SlRu0O ou1tOIldl. IL ls signed so that all those who read will know where the article comes from and who is responsible. Real ly, I have had to sneak the article in. 1 was afraid that the manage ment might hold the matter up, and this for obvious reasons. The President of all of the camps of the A. N. B. is, also, the school teacher of the Native children in a U. s. B. E. school here in Peters burg. The A. N. B. owns this pub lication-THE ALASKAN. There is a connection here that far fetch ed officialdom might try to make use of in a sort of elimination pro cess. So, therefore. the editorial bears the name of the writer. No one else has anything to do with it, It is all mine.
 To begin with, I am going to jump on school conditions here in town. School conditions are bad enough in other places, but for the moment I'll do my bit of grazing in this particular pasture.
 I have gone up on the hill several times of late and sized up what is known as the school for Native chill dren. As an institution it is the worst layout in the city. I am re ferring to the building and it's i'm mediate surroundings. The school building is old. The city used it for a long time and abandoned it for newer, bigger and more up-to date structures The United States Bureau of Education took it over and today that is where the Indian children of the town are trying to learn something between shivers of cold, poor light and the danger of falling through the floor. The Bureau of Education has many things to feel proud over, and this layout here in Petersburg is cer- tainly one of 'em.
 The sidewalks around the build ing are a wreck. Many of the blanks are gone. The joists are routed off and broken. The founda tions just aren't" The view from the streets is one that the city folk are getting accustomed to and tourists stand open mouthed and wonder over. Not so good. It's criminal I understand that the at- tention of the higher-ups has been called to this travesty, and the vail comes back that nothing may be done because the Alaska division of the U. s. B. B. is broke. That's too bad.
 Does the city of Petersburg school it's children in shacks because it happens to be low in funds? Hard ly. It has invested thousands of dollars in educational buildings.
 It has gone wofully in debt to do this, and in every possible way has it reached out to build some thing worth while, fitting and lat ing. It has taken pride in stepping up in line with other towns of it's size insofar as housing, comfort, light and school surroundings are concerned. And directly in view ot the big city school houses is the miserables day habitation of the Indian children of the town. No dirtier fling in the way of breeding ostracism than this.
 Broke!!
 No money to do anything with. No money to even buy coal or other fuel to keep the teaching staff and the children comfortable. The edu cational division of the United | States broke,-a pauper!
 This broke" situation is the re- suit of one of five things, or pos
