 ''To give you an illustration, I have been trying for three days to reach a well known man who owes taxes on fourteen pieces of property. He has no phone and I could not get him at his home as he is out of town. The entire total for the four teen tax bills is $2.80, representing a few cents on each bill. However. there will be an individual fee of $3.75 for each lein, and the interest rate will go from ten to twelve per cent" said Tax Collector William A. Ennis.
 Hence, mathematical calculation shows that this man who could set tie his bill for but $2.S0 will be forced to pay $55.30 not including the interest charge. This is accord ing to the legal procedure which emphatically calls for this action.
 The tax collectors office has made many efforts to acquaitn many tax payers that they owed these small bills, believing that the bills have been forgotten.
 When it comes time to pay, the plea that bills have been forgotten will be of no avail. it was pointed out, as the lien will have been filed and it is impossible 10 withdraw it.,

CHINA'S AWFUL FLOOD

After being ravaged for years by brgandage ana tl revolution, unhappy China is suffering from the most devastating flood in all history We in America can not begin to grasp the horror of the stuatio where lit erally millions are dead already from drowning starva tion and exposure while other millions doomed be- yond the possibility of aid.
 Even when the floods subsde those who survive the initial disaster will be faced by the horrors of famine The President of China estimates that 50 million will persn from starvation and disease in spite of anything that may possibly be done to save them.
 The fall crops sufficient for the peoples needs have been destroyed well nearly all the livestock With winter coming on there chance for raising new crops this year. Even where late sowing might be poss be the people have seed farm animals with which to till the soil
 It was recently suggested that small measure of relief might be afforded these stricken people by selling surplus American wheat to China liberal credit terms It seems that this should be done by all means It would not only aid China but would relieve own situation without disturbing our regular markets.

SEEKS THE LIFE SPARK

Studies in biology and bio chemistry have developed many astounding facts, many of which have been of in estimabe value mankind but the ultimate goal of such research is find the of the like spark itself and produce it from inert matter.
 That this will day be accomplished is the belief of many distinguished scientists although this idea is fouted by those who hold to the traditional belief in the creation of all life by special acts of Supreme Being
 Prof. William Lash Miller, internationally known bio chemist of the University of Toronto has produced in his laboratory component part of living matter and his ac- compishment is hailed of epocha importance by many felow-scientists
 Just what significance may be attached to Prof Mil lers latest discovery is somewhat difficult for aynan judge but it appears that it may mark most import ant step toward the solution of the ageold question: What is life?"

IN TAX RECEIPTS
Income Levy Collections for Wed
nesday $ss,691,515, Third
of 1880 Figure.
BY the Associated press.


A sharp decrease in income tax coll
lectionS, as compared to last year, was
shown today in the Treasury statement
for March 10, when only $88, 6el sis was
collected, as compared to S2l4, 1874, 54S
on March 10, 1880.
On the face of the total collections
thus far, it appeared that income tax
collections for the month probably
would lag 100000, 900 behind those of
last year. The collections for last March
totafed 59,503,7 03.
The decreases were attributed to the
business depression and to deductions
of stock losses in the crash that started
in October, 1929.
Treasury experts hoped for an in
crease in the taxes to be reported to-
morrow for March 10, because it was
the third day after the date the tax re-
turns must be filed Because of Sum
day coming on March IS, taxpayers had
until Monday night to make their re-
turns.
The amount received on March 1e
brought the total for the month to
Sl94, 945, 1897, as compared with S314,-
200, $50 in the same number of days of
March, 1880.
The income tax for the fiscal year has
tctaled 81 1866, 376, 861, as compared with
81 500, 700 in the same period of
1880.
The income taxes cut the deficit from,
S735,138,522 to 1851, ,372 on March
10.
Government expenditures for that
| date totaled S3012, 776, TAO, as compared
