RAfL. BELT WILL HAVE
 PLANT FOR TREATING HIDES
Anchorage Times.)

There is the promise that the Alas ka railroad belt will soon have plant in which it will be possible to tan hides of all kinds, an industry which lias possibilities of large-scale expan- sion. Plans for the launching of the enterprise were discussed at a meet ing held in. Anchorage this week, and it is the intention to get the project under way just as soon as vats can be made ready and supply of hemlock bark obtained fortthe processing.
 The tannery, which will be in the nature of an experiment at the start, will be established at the Eklutna in dustrial school of the Bureau of Edu- cation, and the Bureau will provide the tanner and the necessary labor to carry on the initial work; the vats and hemlock bark will be provided by the Alaska Railroad, and the hides will be provided by the Department of Agriculture to get the work under way. It is expected that the plant will be started with supply of about 50 hides, obtained from the several experiment stations.
 While the operations necessarily will be limited at the outset to such cattle and sheep and game hides as can be picked up locally, it is the in tention ultimately to utilize the thou sands of reindeer hides which are made available by the annual slaugh- ter of deer in the Nome and Kusko- kwim districts and which are of little value under present conditions be- cause of the cost of shipment to Out side tanneries. It is expected that eventually the local tannery will sup ply all leather requirements of the Territory.
 Those present sat the meeting at which plans were formulated for the establishment of the tannery were: E. J. Beck, superintendent of the cen tral district of the bureau of 'educa- fion; M. D. Snodgrass, assistant ag- ronomist in charge of the Matanuska experiment station, representing the DDepartment of Agriculture; Walter c. Culver, representing the Alaska Railroad.
 There is an ample supply of hem lock bark available close to the rail- road, and the harvesting will start just as soon as it is possible to take the bark from the trees.

FAIRBANKS DERBY WILL BE HELD MARCH 14TH; MANY TO
 ENTER: WOMEN,S RACE, 17TH
Fairbanks News-Miner.)

March Ii will be the date of the Alaska Sweepstakes dog derby. This decision was made at meeting of the Fairbanks Kennel Club last evening. At the same time March 16 was se- lected as the date for the H. Wendell lEndicott race, and March IT for the vwomen's race. The courses will be the same as last year.
 The growing interest in the efforts of the Kennel Club to make the derby m outstanding event is shown by the increased attendance at each meeting and by many inquiries regarding the race received from communities on tthe Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers and in the Iditarod district.
 Information received by the Kennel Club indicates that the entries for this years classic will be more numerous than at any previous race.
 Among them is Johnnie Mullen of aaltag, who has o fast team of Irish setters and malamutes. Joe Stick iman, Nulato racer who won the 1928 Sweepstakes, will be back again. He hopes to repeat his victory of last year, and has even faster team than ne came up with then. If he wins the derby two more times he will come into possession of the U. s. Signal Corps trophy. Competition for the trophy began last year.
 Another racer who will compete again is Walter Nollner of Galena, who placed first in the H. Wendell En- dientt derby in 1928. George Jimmie, also of Galena, winner of the Ruby Long race, win come to Fairbanks t ttry his luck in the big derby.

JUNEAU ADVOCATING
 OPEN ALASKA PORTS

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce recently went on record as favoring the amendment of the Jones shipping act so as to permit Canadian steamers to haul freight to and from Alaskan ports. The chamber endorsed rese- lution by the Ketchikan chamber.
 George F. Weisel, of the Juneau Lumber Mills, explained the extent of the hardship worked on Alaska by the Jones xhipping}bill, which provides that products originating in Alaska and destined to points in the Middle West and East must. be shipped via Seattle instead of via Prince Rupert, and that by the former, i'll the matter of Alaska spruce lumber, it arrived at Seattle with charge of $14.1O against every 1000 feet, which fact makes competition with Washington lumber dealers impossible. All Mir. Weisel urged was that steps be taken to have the two words excluding Alaska" stricken from the Jones bill as it exists, thus putting Alaska an equal footing with other sections of the country. The secretary was in- structed to wire the action of the chamber in urging a change in the law to the authorities-at Washington.

Is no deduction permitted for that pur-
pose. Yet BY engaging In business GER
tain deductions are possible which tend
to lower the cost Of living to the In

Court of Appeals. which ordered the

~ urged, but when It comes to applying
It with & workable plan there are snags.
And until the President and the Sec

administration that would be acceptable
to Congress there Is little likelihood OF
a change. In fact, 1t Is much more
likely that general reduction on the

before the tanglesome earned income

INCOME TAX CUT
SOON IS DOUBTED
Despite Administrations Adj
vocacy Of Reduction, Slash
Now Is Held Unlikely.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

It's q long way TO a general re-
duction Of taxes on earned incomes.
President Hoover favors 1t and so does
Secretary Mellon. but when it gets down
to actual administrative provisions or
some plan to apply the theory, the
experts shake their heads. They have
considerable difficulty applying the pres
ent credit on earned incomes.
The theory Of the reduction on earn
ed income Is that the salaried worker
or the individual who Is actively en-
gagged In company should pay lower
tax than the person who received an
equivalent income from stocks or bonds
or investments generally. This. has al
ways been received on its face as q
fair difference between the so-called
earned and pnearned incomes. But the
correspondence Of members of Con-
gress and the Treasury Department Is
full of protests from. widows and or
phans who are the beneficiaries OF life
Insurance or other legacies and who
feel that they ought not to- be the sub
jects of discrimination.
Law Has Few Exceptions.
A widow with q 5000 income which
might be the amount received annually
from a 100000 estate would pay more
taxes than some one else who received
5000 salary The widow might be
in i'll health or might have a family to
support. This would involve q consid-
Grafton Of each case on its merits and
the Federal Government has never per-
mitted the subject of income or taxes
to be made matter Of leniency In par
ticular circumstances The rules have
been applied generally and the laws
contain hardly any exceptions that re-
late to personal comforts or hardships.
The argument also has been made that
the Federal Government and the States
exact large tax as an inheritance fee
and that the individual who has spent
a, lifetime accommodating 100000 and
then leaves 1t to his family is entitled
TO as much consideration as the person
who is earning 1t for himself Then
there Is the problem of the married man
as against the unmarried man and other
difiiculties. too, of discovering what
would be fair for all concerned.
During discussion In recent years In
the congressional committees the sug-
gestion has been advanced that all in
comes be on an equality up to SIC, 900 a
year and that everything beyond that
be placed on an earned as opposed to an
unearned basis. This has its difficulties
OF administration, too, for in many cor
porations the payment Of salary to in
dividuals is possible instead of COM
pensation In the form of dividends.

Institute Luncheon.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Recent discov-
cries that climate is big factor in
making soil, fertile or otherwise, were
explained to ths science and agricul-
ture luncheon of the American Insti-
tute here today.
About dozen climatic types of soil
have been identified in the United
States, said P. L. Gle of the Bureau OF
Chemistry, United States Department
of Agriculture. They are products OF
temperature, rainfall and attendant
vegetation.
Black Soil Belt.
One is a famed black soil of the Mid
west, found in belt about 30 miles
wide through Western Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska, and esteemed by farmers
in this country as the best soil that lies
outdoors" 1t develops under grass
cover in a region of comparatively iign'
rainfall. Other climate made soils are
the brown covering of the Northwestern
United States the red earth Of Georgia
and the Carolinas, and a gray soil o.

States The discoveries have modified
some views of fertility.
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Gle,
"the farmer was supposed to be
trustees OF the fertility of his soil for
future generations. If he did not re-
turn as much plant food to the soil as
he removed in crops, he was a soil rob-
her, There was an element OF truth
in this. But in the light Of recent in
vestigations of soil development, It
seems that too much responsibility was
placed on the farmer and TOO little or
the Almighty.
Climate Effects Soil.
after all, the inherent characters
tics of soil are imposed by climate
and geology. Some soils, the podsolic
soils of humid regions, are obviously
bent toward level Of low natural fer
tility owing to teaching. Many are al
ready there; others, the geologically
young soils of this group, are bound
in that direction, and their progress
can be only temporarily stopped. You
can't very well build up store Of plant
food material in such soils for future
generations. But you can maintain
them in high state of productivity by
suitable fertilizer"

NEW YORK, April 22.-(P-A
lilliputian mite of a lad just nine
years old, four feet tall and IS
pounds in weight has taken New
York followers of aquatic sport by
storm.
Hardly big enough to bend a
springboard, little Hal Benham of
Indianapolis finished third in the
national junior high board diving
championship and on the following
night made a surprising showing in
the senior event in which he was
by far the tiniest tot ever to par
ticipate.
The brilliant diving of the in
trepid nine-year-old and his r.
year-old pal, Frank Fehsenfeld.
proved to be one Of the big features
Of the, title competition and more
than indicated the judgment OF
their coach, Richard o. Papenguth
of the Indianapolis A. c., who was
advised by the chairman of the
Amateur Athletic Union Swimming
Committee not to bring them be-
cause they were too young"
Papenguth. who wear the en-
blem Of Michigan where he was a
graduation three years ago, said
neither n knows the meaning OF
fear.
The young coach started out with
a big class of boys, but as the dives
grew harder they dropped out until
only Hal and Frank remained
Every day after school in Indian
apolis they dive for two hours OF
more.
1.-The Little One" as Papengutt
calls him. has been diving off the
high board-ten feet above the wa
ter-for less than a year, but he
has mastered al the intricate aerial
feats of the experts.
Little Hal is a winning young
ster with q ready grin on his baby
face, but when doing his stuff he
is all dignity. On land he affects
a collegiate sweater and Knockers
His water garb also runs to colors.
The most fun he had in New
York, he thinks, was when he was
watching a 250-pound local diver
in the junior championship who
persisted in smacking the water
with his broad beamed back.
That tickled Hal and he wrig-
gled with glee.
