LOCALITY IS IDEAL

From salt water we cross about a mile of level beach land to the base of the mountain which shoots straight up in the air." said MT. Hatcher. There is a wonderful stream and waterfall adjacent from which we will develop power and plenty of timber is right there on the ground We will put the mill at the foot of the mountain and drop the ore down to it. The whole proposition is ideal, almost too good to be true but I fig ured if I stuck around Alaska long enough I would finally run onto the real proposition that I have been look ing for Just as soon as the snow permits we will have men on the ground for the preliminary work.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Oct. 25.-
The National League Of Commission
Merchants, together with other trade
organizations interested in agricul.
tural products. is urging greater ex-
penditures by the government for the
purpose Of fundamental research in
agriculture. Representatives of 1e
organizations called upon President

move, characterizing il as 'construc.
tive economy" for the nation.
In n statement to the president,
Chester Gray, Washington represent.
alive of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, declared that 81, 000, 000,-
600 a year can be made for agricul-
ture by the results of research by
adding to its income or subtrscting
from its expenses.
Among examples CT beneficial re-
suits from research mentioned by
Mr.. Gray. which already are contrib
uting considerably toward "the bill
lion dollar goal" are the develop
ment Of new uses for cotton and its
by~-products, the saving Of the sugar
cane industry in Louisiana and in
other areas Of the South through the
breeding of mosaic-resistant varieties
of cane, greater utilization of the
corn crop, progress in solving the
cause of contagious abortion of cat
tie, better nutrition of livestock, de-
velopment of a method Of inoculating
seeds of leguminous crops, wider APP

IN the later part of August J. J,

attorney general, pointing out that
imposition OF the tax would require
the payment OF $50 to 5000 per wear
on each bus operated by the school

The assistant county attorney held
that while the statute did not spe-
cltically exempt school buses from
the seat tax, it was not the intent
Of the legislature to impose this
burden upon the school districts,
which would be obliged TO pay the
tax on buses owned by the district or
under contract.
The attorney generals department
held to the same view as the assist
an county attorney, submitting the
following opinion:
u. Common or independent school
districts owning and operating motor
buses for the transportation of stu
dents to and from school are not
liable for the Four (S4.00) Dollar
seat tax imposed by Article $50 of
the Penal Code, upon the owners Of

owner of a motor vehicle operating
under contract with n common inde-
pendent school district for transport

which vehicle is not otherwise oper-
ated in the transportation Of passen-
gers for hire. is not liable for the
Four (s4.00) Dollar seat tax imposed
by Article $50 of the Penal code upon
the owners OF passenger motor We
