RED CROSS RELIEF IN
70 DISASTERS IN YEAR
Forest Fires, Plaques, Storms,
Earthquakes, as Well as
Drought, Call for Help.

The forest fires which have ragged
in Idaho and other western sections
this year have presented a serious dis
aster-one OF a number, in addition to
the enormous drought relief problems,
which have been met by the American
Red Cross relief forces.
Suffering, faith and courage are
contained in story coming from the
Priest River section In Idaho, told by
a volunteer Red Cross worker as fol
lows
Picture happy little homestead
near the banks of Priest river In
northern Idaho. While father, with a
little son tagging at his heels, is out
tending crops and adding to the clear
ing, mother is at home making prepa.
rations for another arrival. Then
comes the fire demon, sweeping all in
its path. While father fights to pro
tect his little home, the stork an
nounces its arrival.
Mother and baby are bundled In a
quilt and loaded on truck for the
race through the flaming forest. Father
drives the truck and the little boy sits
at his mothers side, brushing away the
sparks which fall like rain upon the
improvised litter"
To the Red Cross worker, the mother
expressed her anxiety to return to the
hills to rehabiitate the little home
stead. All they possessed was lost In
the forest fires The Red Cross aided
all of the families and is working to
help them rebuild their homes.
Altogether seyenty-nine disasters
called for Red Cross help and money
during the year just closed. Aside
from the drought, which required SER
vices OF volunteer workers numbering
more than 10000, and a drought relief
fund OF more than SIS, 100000 Of which
$4,000 came from the national Red
Cross treasury, help was given IN ~

To Consider Taxation.

POKANE.-Concerted effort by
business organizations in the West TO
check the upward climb of taxation
will be. considered at the Western Di-
visional Meeting Of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States at Spo-
kane, December and 5, according to
an announcement from Paul C1agstones
manager Of the division.
Business he said. is concerned at the
moment with the threat of increased
governmental budgets and declining
public revenue and business men
throughout the country are giving more
attention to measures to prevent an
increase in the heavy burden Of taxa
ton and, If possible, to reduce it to
hasten the return of national prosper
ity. The National Chamber, he added,
is assisting local chambers of COM
merce and business organizations IN
their efforts to increase the buying
power of the tax dollar and eliminate
wastes in public administration.
Orval w. Adams, vice president of
the Utah State National Bank, Salt
Lake City, will present the problem
to Western business men attending the
Spokane meeting. He said, IN a state
ment issued this week:
in 1913 the annual cost of govern
ment was $4,000, 900 900. In 1928, it had
increased to $4,000, 100000. a gain of
more than 300 per cent in Is years. For
the same period the gain in population
was "a per cent and the gain in ma
tional income was only $50 per cent.
Not only has future income been
heavily mortgaged, the process is con-
tinuing and current income is already
taxed to the breaking point. The total
public debt OF the country is S28O00,
100000, or S235 per person, as COM
pared with $50 in 1913. These stagger-
ing statistics should challenge the best
thought of this nation. Only intelligent,
organized action in expenditure con-
troll will save the financial integrity
of this country
