Sharing In The Tax

In the many schemes that are now being Aadvanced for the relief of the tax situation in Ahis state we rather imagine that more at- stention may be expected to be paid to the sdivision of some part of the gasoline tax be- stween the cities and towns An increase of lone cent in the gasoline tax is asked by ssMayor George Quigley of New Britain. pres sident of the state municipal league. on the sground that Connecticut now merely pays two cents which is the lowest tax levied in .the United States Connecticut isn't the only .state levying such a low tax as there are three scther states, we believe. with similar ideas Perhaps these states have other means of .raising money to carry on the work of the sstate highway and motor vehicle depart
 ments, not to mention the enforcement work of the state police without depending to s.ereat extent upon gasoline taxes. We can't soffer statistics for those other states with the two cent tax. but we do know that Connec- sfieut makes up for its low tax on gasoline in tother ways. For example. there is the s soperstor's fee that is assessed annually. That is increased to $5. if you are just securing your operators license for the first time. or shave not held one for several years and desire to renew the old one.
 :. Motor registration rates in Connecticut
 are high and if you should happen to own "a fleet of heavy trucks. you can readily tes- ttify to the taxes you pay on them. That's .one of the reasons why this state has not had Ito raise its gasoline taxes long before. this. 1t has been able to collect sufficient funds tthrough registrations licenses. fines etc. to ,carry on the work of expanding the high rwsy system and maintaining it. A few <fieures on the subject may be even more s<onvineing In l93l motorists in Con- Enectieut paid Sl2.97s,535 into the state <tressury.

CAMPAIGN WILL MAKE RUSSIA STRUGGLE ALONG WITH.
 OUT U. $. CONGRESHMEN
By RODNEY BUTCHER NEA Service Writer

Washington.-Amo the diverse effects of the political campaign is the fact that Soviet Russia will have to struggle along this summer without any of the visitations from members of the American congress to which it has become accus- toned.
 All the politicians are going to stay home, so there's nothing to keep those of us who happen to have both time and money from piling off to Russia and letting them have this country to ther1i. selves until they quiet down again. This means that the United States will be without any official or unofficial observers in the Soviet Union. Touring congressmen have been the nearest approach to gov- ernmental recognition of Russia 2 existence and probably will be for some time.
 Frederick Pope. an American industrialist, spent some time re- gently trying to sell the idea to the government here of sending over an unofficial observer who would correspond to Russia's representa- tive in Washington, Boris D.. Skvirsky. chief of the Russian In- formation Bureau. But Pope, al. though arguing that something should be done to encourage Rus sian trade, apparently made little headway with his proposal. al- though he received some backing from business men.
 He has returned to Russia, where he will continue to work for the idea.
 For the Curious Minded Senators and congressman who have been over say Russia's grand place for summer vacation.
 Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico and House Minority Leader Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, who recommend 1t highly, say you can do as we'll elsewhere if you're look ing for summer playground but that there's no more attractive place for the curious minded, ifi- telligent citizen who wants to keep close track of the most important and extraordinary things that are going on in this world. "A person who wants to know what's going on has to go," Cutting says. "You can read all you want about the five-year plan, but you must see 1t in operation to realize what you're reading about. A trip to Russia is likely to be less ex- pensive than other European trips because there isn't much there to spend money on.
 
 .sBcst They Ever Had"
 undoubtedly their present form of government Is q good thing for the Russians. At least, it's the best form of government they ever had. It wouldn't work for this country without some important modihca- tionS.

"The Russians haven't any iib- erty under the Soviet system, but they never did have any liberty. Many of their customs are inherit ed from the old days. For instance, the habit of mixed naked bathing, even in the middle of Moscow, has nothing to do with communism. They always did that.
 T was impressed by the extra ordinary interest the young people take in public affairs and interna- tional developments. The middle aged are likely to be more skep- tical and those over 40 are often hostile to the present set-up.
 'ft seems to me enormously im- portant that more Americans in public life visit Russia if they want Q real perspective. For one thing, Russia is our big future potential customer and 1t does no good to ignore the fact"
 
 U. S. Visitors Jump
 Cutting went to Russia under the auspices of the Open Road, a noh-profit educational organization WHlCH ndS tcn <AACIiCdA SOAAS6C presidents on its advisory board.
 He stresses the superior attrac- ton of 8 Russian trip on which the itinerary is elective with the trav- eler rather than unalterabiy rout- ed and which enables the visitor to choose the contacts which he him. slef wants to make. He points out that American visitors to Russia increased from 2.S00 in 1929 to 5000 in 1881 and that the Rus sians, expecting twice as many this year, have organized a $40,000.000 chain of 22 hotels and other tour tst facilities.
 At least hundred special groups students, teachers, industrialists, economists. lawyers. social workers and so on--are going over there this summer.

Somebody will have to do something about J. M. Moseley. We don't like the business in which he engages. Mir Moseley lives at Bean. Georgia and runs fly farm. Yes we mean fly farm. He raises July flies. the kind you use for game fish and he sells all he raises. At least he claims he does. But judging by the number of flies nowadays. we think many must escape.

en- the adjournment. It is not
known that any effort to vacate
the native ranges mentioned
above was made It is believed
that the LOmen who was seated
on the Council opposed it. It
does not appear that any effort
was made to secure the &C
counting of the holding of the
native herds for the past ten to
fifteen years was considered. No
endeavor seems to have been
made to return the reindeer of
the native owners to them
Where is the tribunal to
which the native can appeal?
On the Bench of the End
Judicial Division was Hon. G.. J.

the reindeer of the natives.
On the Council sits Alfred J.

pOratiOn all the product to
store, lighter and transport; to
sell on commission in the States
at a distance of from 5000 to
5000 miles.
The Committee found that
two of the grazing areas, Teller
and auckland should be evacU-
ated by the Lomen Corporation
and their deer removed. The
matter of the accounting for
the handling of the herds of the
native owners was not passed
upon. The Golovin range WAS
given to the Lomens.
New Corporation Formed
Meantime a sub-cOrpOration
had been formed, called the
Alaska Livestock and Packing
Company, subsidiary to t h e
Lomen Reindeer Company, to
which the cold storages Of the
parent company, the reindeer
claimed to be 100000 in number,
and the ranges recently applied
for and mentioned above, were
transferred. These were stated
to be worth the sum of 81, AGO.
600 and the Capital Stock placed
accordingly. This placed the
reindeer at an average of SIPS
per head for males, females and
faWns. The reindeer of the ma
tives had been just previously
intrigued at, on the price Of
$500 per head The largest
number the Corporation have
ever counted of reindeer in their
mark had been between 10000
and $4,000. In 1929 their count
had stood at 32,097, while this
incorporation was formed in
1880. The winter of 1929-1930
the corporation is stated to have
butchered $4,000 reindeer and to
have driven 5000 to Canada on
the "World's greatest drive Of
reiudeer."

Hearing of the Reindeer Com
mittee, p. ~
These Rules, dated June %,
1881, provide as follows:
1.-THE STANDARD HERDING
FEE per head per year for each
adult female will be based on
the cost of herding prorated
against the co-owners on the
basis of ownership of adult fe-
male deer in the herd as count
ed during the current marking
season except when written
agreement has been entered
into" (Rule 21.)
This seems to provide for a
continuation of the holding of
the reindeer of the natives in
the Lomen herds under the
same conditions as before the
petitions were filed for the re-
lease of the native deer.
Rule II. WITHDRAWAL OF
DEER. Anyone desiring to with
his deer from herd must ap-
ply in writing to the General
Superintendent through the
local Board of Directors. The
separation can only be made
during the period between Oc-
tober 1st and February % and
at the expense of the party
wishing to withdraw and with
the approval of the general
Reindeer Superintendent"
This rule seems to have been
provided to prevent the taking
cut of the Corporation reindeer
from the native range. The cor
rOratiOn does not wish to
withdraw" evidently. for they
have been holding to both the
native ranges and the native
deer for years and preventing
any relief for the native. Now
