The administration of the Seattle Area Council is in two divisions with Scout Executive Stuart P. Walsh responsible, of course, for the entirety of the council The city of Seattle division is looked after by MT Walsh, MT. Ruddiman, F. c. Henderson and T. c. Lewis. The Seattle division has 2,700 scouts registered in one hundred and twenty troops.
 All outside the city of Seattle is known as the Area division. In this are nearly 2000 scouts enrolled in 78 troops, fourteen of which are iri Alaska. MT. Baker is the EXecu- tive in charge of the Area division with two part-time assistants. If present plans go through full time assistant will be added to the staff to handle the Alaska work.
 The primary functions of the Ex- ecutive staff are to train leaders, supervise Courts of Honor, rallies and other functions, hold summe. camps and advise with the locel leaders on questions which come up pertaining to scouting. Program cs Arranged A very complete program of Boy Scout activities has been lined up by the program committee of the local scout organization starting with the first session of a scout masters training course at 7:30 pm. today in the Legion Dugout. MT. Baker will hold the first ses- sion of a patrol leaders training course at 3:15 pm. tomorrow in one of the school classrooms. To- morrow evening MT. and Mrs. Bak- CT will be the guests of the PIT. A. and Women's Clubs.
 The second session of the patrol leaders course will be held Wednes- day afternoon and in the evening MT. Baker will meet with Troop Three. The Chamber of Commerce will have a scout program Thurs day noon and in the afternoon the boys will hold another patrol lead CTS meeting. MT Baker will ad- dress the regular meeting of the Volunteer Fire Department Thurs day evening and also visit Troops One and Two.
 A big hike, probably to the scout camp, has been planned for Satur- day morning and afternoon and in the evening the second session of the scoutmasters' training course will convene.
 The local scout committee will hold second noon meeting next Monday and in the evening the closing session of the scoutmasters' course will take place.
 A Court of Honor has been plan- ned for Tuesday, November 12. De- tails on this will follow later.

BAKER ARRIVES
 FOR BOY SCOUT PROGRAM HERE
Seattle Council Field Ex-
 ecutive to Spend Ten I Days with Scouts

In order that the Boy Scout &C., tivities in Juneau may be developed feven greater in the future than they have in the past, Fred E. Bak- CT, Field Executive of the Seattle Area Council, will spend from Mo- vember 5th to the 18th or 18th, working with the local men. He and Mrs. Baker arrived today on the steamer Queen.
 A splendid group of local men have kept Scouting on the go here for some years but with the excep- tion of a short visit made this spring by Ronald R. Ruddiman, help has never been given from the outside.
 In Seattle Area
 Acting on the suggestion of a group of Alaskan business men, who passed through Seattle on their trips outside, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America turned over to the Seattle Area Council this summer the responsi- bility of assisting the Alaskan men carry on the program of scouting.
 AS MT. Ruddiman had planned to spend his vacation in Southeast Alaska he was asked to make the preliminary contacts with the local men. He met with the local coun- cil and spoke before the Chamber of Commerce and Fire Department, and made arrangements for MT. Bakers trip this fall.
 The Seattle Area Council is not, as the name implies, merely the su- pervising body for the Boy Scouts in the city of Seattle, but rather is composite council of all the Boy Scouts in the counties of King, Kitsap, Clallam and Jefferson in the States of Washington and also the entire Territory of Alaska.
 Appoint Juneau Member
 The Executive Board of the coun- Gil is made up of one representa- tive from each of the districts and meets monthly at the council head quarters. The representative from Juneau will be appointed during MT. Bakers stay and will be repre- sented at the board meetings either by letter proxy or in person.

 for members in the Red Cross which is held from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-11-04

this week is the lining up of a complete list of merit badge exam iners. The scout committee will appoint these and MT. Baker plans to see each one and explain the requirements of each individual subject.

IL present TAX system, the state
legislature has become a budget
ing body, unable to meet the needs
of departments and institutions,
but only empowered to divide the
fixed sum available among them.
AS the valuation of property in
the state is determined in advance
and the constitution limits the
levy to two and a half mills on a
state valuation below $500, 900. 600,
the legislature has no alternative
but to use its wisdom in disburs-
ing the funds.
Problem Before Assembly
Thus the problem faced by the
legislature is to provide means for
supporting every necessary ac-
tivity and department of the state
government. The expiration of
the special levy for the higher
educational institutions will throw
a heavy burden back onto the
general fund, and the amount pro-
duced by the levy of liz mills be-
ing wiped out will mean the money
produced by the regular levy of
2R mills, will have to be divided
into even smaller appropriations
for all departments than have
been made since 1920.
"The survey commission dis
closes that the legislature is able
to change the basis of state valu-
alton, thus raising the total valu-
alton to a point which will
produce by the limited levy the re-
CURED amount for the state gov
eminent and educational institu-
tions; or there may be another
special levy, similar to that of
1920, voted by the people them
selves for the University units
alone. The only other method
would be an amendment to the
constitution which would raise the
amount which may be levied for
state purposes.
"The special levy of ~ mills
designed for financing educational
Institutions, must be regarded as
supplementary to the regular levy
for the general fund and actually
relief to that fund. 1t can not
be said to be selfishly devoted to
purposes, because if it
had not been for this levy the
general fund would have had to
stand the strain of appropriations
for the university, and thus the
funds available for every depart
ment and activity of the state
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-01-25

total taxes collected for all pur-
poses in these states.
Conclusion
"The educational survey com
mission also shows in it's findings
that the local tax burden in
Montana, consisting of those levies
made by counties and cities, are
about the average in the other
states studied, being actually al
most 2 per cent less than in our
neighboring commonwealth.
THUS the conclusion of the sur
vey commission is that Montana
citizens are paying about half as
much in state taxes, on the aver
age, as the citizens of other west
ern and northwestern states.
Findings of the survey show
that the reason for the small
amount available for state pur-
poses is due to two reasons:
First: Montana constitution linn
its the amount the state may levy
against taxable property. Second:
The Montana valuation plan holds
the total valuation at so low a
figure that it produces, with the
levy limited by the constitution,
only a comparatively small oper-
ating income for all departments
n activities of the state gov
eminent.
Their disclose that Montana has
been able to keep it's departments
financed and its institutions open
by reason of two things entering
into u finances. First: For
the ten years from 1920-1930 the
institutions comprising the greater
University of Montana have been
financed by a special lexy voted
by the people, which levy expires
in 1880. By supplying funds for
the higher educational institutions,
this levy has relieved the other
departments and institutions and
permitted them to use the money
flowing into the general fund.
Second: The state has been ap-
propriating credit, not money, for
ten years, as it's general fund has
been overdrawn, warrants issued
to keep the activities running,
which in reality amount to moth
ing but short term notes or
securities, and these we have used
rather freely instead of paying
cash for the running expenses of
state government.
"Under conditions created by
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-01-25

government would have been cur
tailed by the amount set aside
from the general fund for the
educational institutions.
1.-THE loss in recent years of a
number of notable educators,
heads of departments or promi-
nent workers in the various units
of the University of Montana, has
been a loss almost entirely at
tributable to our present univer-
sity financial situation.
Maximum Salaries Lower
Figures gathered to show the
position of higher education in
Montana compared to that in
other western and northwestern
states, show that, while median
salaries in Montana are about
average for IL states included in
the educational survey, maximum
salaries are much lower in Mont
ana. This means that Montana
usually a hold the college in
structor of average ability or repu-
ton, but unless the instructor has
great loyalty and affection for
Montana, the state cannot hope to
hold men whom other institutions
desire to employ, since other
states are free to offer salaries
higher than Montana's maximum.
"The educator who wishes to
use his ability to best advantage
is sometimes induced to leave the
state because Montana institutions
are working on departmental
finances that limit him too
severely.
Expenditures from state rev.
enues for teaching in institutions
of higher education amounts to
S1.23 per capita of population in
Montana, in comparison with an
average of S1.83 per capita for IL
western and northwestern states
included in the educational sur
vey which is being presented to
the Montana public.
'The average northwestern
state institution has approximate
Iy so per cent more, for it's teach
work, from each citizen of the
state, than has Montana. This
shows in other figures, where
Montana is given an expenditure
Of $203 per student per annum
while the average for the IL
states studied is 1925 per student
per annum."

Montana experiment station as the
farmers laboratory where methods
are being studied and different
types of machinery are being tried
out. He said that wheat must be
produced very cheaply in order to
meet competition, and in order to
give the farmer more than a bare
living. Diversified farming and
the raising of livestock will do
much to cut down the cost of pro-
duction and will bring in an in
come during poor wheat years. He
mentioned but did not discuss in
detail various combinations; the
sheep-wheat combination, the cat
tle-wheat combination, the growing
Of clover and alfalfa were among
the things mentioned.
Dry Year Coming
l.. D. Kurtz, Montana State col
lege agronomist, said that for
successful crop production in
Montana, the farmer has got to
practice the system of holding
over reserves, either in the way
of cash, feed crops or moisture in
the soil. 1t is his opinion that
Montana is facing one of the
driest years in ten years on ac-
count of there having been no
fall rains. At such a time sum
mer following is particularly i'm
portant since it conserves mois-
ture. increases the nitrogen, keeps
the soil free from weeds and
permits an even distribution of
labor during the season and an
even use of machinery. He said
that the ground that was summer
fallowed before the rains of last
summer is the only ground that
has a reserve stock of moisture
at the present time, and he show
ed by charts that properly sum
mer fallowed ground has sufficient
moisture to produce a crop with
the occasional rains that come
along in the spring. The ground
has to be in the proper condition
to absorb the moisture when it
falls and for this reason a cloddy
top soil, such as is produced with
the duckfoot weeder. is preferable
to a fine dust mulch which turns
water and permits too rapid evap-
Grafton. Summer following must
be done early in order to be ready
for the early rains which may
come in May.
TimeIiness Means Protein
The fertility of the land demands
that the moisture be in the soil
early. A combination of moisture
and heat is necessary to the
liberation of the nitrogen in the
soil which goes to produce the
protein content of wheat. This
protein content wheat commands
a premium on the market, and so
timeliness in preparing the soil
bears a direct relation to the
quality of the wheat as well as
the price which the farmer may
obtain for his product.
Mr.. Kurtz said that the burning
of the stubble field after the crop
had been taken off was prefer
able to turning the stubble under
or discing it in, and that a field
where the stubble had been burn
ed would average from 2 to 8
bushels more an acre than where
he stubble had been ploWed IN.
Burning also helps eradicate WHO
