WEATHER BUREAU USES.

steady stream of letters pours into the eli theological division of the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture seeking information wide variety of points. Immed- fate information may be wanted the current weekly or seasonal weather. general facts concerning the climate prevailing weather conditions of a particular locality.
 City governments and manufacturing plants often want to know the normal direction of the winds in given region, with reference to locat- ing plants that give off undesirable odors, in such way that nearby dweers will be least troubled. The placing of a garbage disposal plant, for instance, may affect the people of a neghborhood unpleasantly that they will all eventually move away; property values will in turn be low cred, and much needless loss and discomfort will ensue. It may be entirely possible to determine the direction of the prevailing winds and locate the odors away from the homes, not toward them Such manufacturing plants fsh-oil factories tanneries. and others with characteristic but ne cessary smells may be built where they will give least ofense if the Weather Bureau is consulted first.
 Another type of inquiry is from establish ments that produce articles handle material that is affected by conditions of the weather ol atmosphere.

fNeW York Times.)
 In conng the phrase rback strailers MT Hamlin Garland, whose last volume in his series of sketches of the Middle Border has just been published, condenses the latest movement in this ever restless country Many years have passed since Professor Frederick Jackson Turner called pie continued to move Westward as of old Some settled in the Middle Border which Mr Garland has well described Others sought in the farther West the country of Owen Wisters tales. In the meantime the people of the Pacific Coast cities pushed inland and rapidly developed their empire. The general tendency was expansion. Men continued to follow new trails Now they are returning the old trails-returning, some of them, to visit the homes of their fore fathers and then go West again; others to settle down in the East and become a part of the great metropolitan machine.
 But to parallel the case of Hamn Garland, who writes delightfully."- of his discovery of the East, there countless thousands of cases In the arts and letters many instances might be cited. In fact MT. Garland points out that John Hay, Mark Twain, Bret Harte and others showed the way generations ago In business fields the tendency is the same. This is as mo- ticeable in Chicago in New York The men of affairs, the great bankers and lawyers and heads of corporations, have gradually been drawn to the big cities by the magnet of opportunity For long years New York has continued to be the chief center-so much so. in fact that those in active affairs who boast of being horn l in New York City rare.

The Whitney Estate and Death Taxes.
(New York World.)

The estate of the late Payne Whitney, ap- praised at almost $179 100000, will yield New York $15 600,000 in inheritance taxes, and the Federal Government about $4.000,000. This tax is not burdensome; the decedent does not feel it, and in estate huge it hardly work hardship to the heirs. It is just and equitable, for the general growth of the community con trbuted to the Whitney wealth. Helping check the size of estates, it serves a valuable public purpose. payment of 15,600O 900 is roughly one-twefth the annual receipts of the State, and will help materially to solve budget problems. As it is essentially a payment from capital, not income the State should properly expend it in capital improvements, not for rent expenses: and capital improvements present some Of our chief worries.
 Altogether. the yield from this record-break- ing estate is telling illustration of the value of the inheritance tax. New York has found that in recent years the death duties have returned well $20,000,000 annually, and to other Eastern States with large social-service programs the source has been increasingly important In- heritanee taxes really material scale ought to find general adoption by the States The chief reason for keeping the Federal estate tax is that it encourages such adoption. Every State is all lowed credit against the Federal estate tax for it's own inheritance taxes up to 80 per cent. of the Federal return. So long this law stands, those States which wise enough to pass death taxes profit, while no State is allowed the unfair advantages of furnishing complete exemption.

NEWFOUNDLAND, LABRADOR AND
 ANNEXATION.

Labrador wants to separate herself from New foundland and, apparently, Newfoundland IS ready to let her go However, Newfoundland ap- pears unwilling 10 part with the country to Canada but would prefer to sell it to the United States In fact Sir William Coaker, Newfound- land statesman, whose party is now in power, recently declared that Newfoundland herself, is coming around to regard her destiny to be that of a State in the United States, Sir William said in the statement referred to:
 If referendum taken
 this question it would carry by 75 per
 cent. vote, not because Newfoundland
 has forgotten the old flag but because
 the tendency of the times is to consider
 dollars and cents first Newfoundland
 would stand by and see the Old
 Country trampled but when ques
 tion is to be decided that means
 injury to the old flag but dollars and
 cents for her people it is likely the
 latter feeling would prevail The true
 destiny of Newfoundland with her fish
 cries, forests and minerals lies in the
 direction of the United States.
 Since Sir William made this declaration, Can ada has been looking into the matter and, emin- ent Canadian authority says, while the people of Labrador want to the ties that bind them to Newfoundland, they do not want annexa- tion to the United States, but prefer to join the Dominion of Canada. The Canadian author fly says that Newfoundland has no desire to become attached to Canada, and will probably continue, in the future in the past an independent colony of the British crown. Canad- ian sentiment seems be that Canada would protest against Newfoundlands becoming an Am eriean State.
 So far as the United States is concerned while doubt she would welcome the addition of Newfoundland and Labrador into the Union if they would of their own free choice and with the consent of Great Britain and Canada, she would not want them otherwise While Canada has no claim on Newfoundland the geographical position of the colony and it's history make it clear that it's destiny like it's past before the federation of the Dom inion, naturally should along with Canada that the United States would net want to dc anything in the premises that would not be agreeable to her Canadian friends, that would not receive the benedction of Great Britain

QUITS PLAN TO REIMBURSE SINCLAIR

In announcing the failure of his plan he says that he has not ceased to believe the party ought to be purged of the taint of the Hays-Sinclar transactions, and that he will urge that the surplus of the 1928 campaign be directed to that purpose
