PROSPERITY - - at Rowley, Ia.
I pass by compliments to the
town of Rowley, Iowa. Rowley has
205 population, living in sixty hous-
es; there are fifteen business insti-
tutions including bank, and three
churches. And it is the most pros
porous town in America, if not in
the world.
There is not single delinquent
tax payer in the town. Not one resi-
dent of the town is on the county
poor list. There has never been a
bank failure.
If 205 people in one community
can manage their affairs as well as
| that, there seems to be no reason
why 205,0OO people, or two million
people, or any number of people
cannot do equally well.
The answer, of course, is politics.
Rowley has no large list of salaried
taxeaters It's people run their own
affairs.

Forestry WORK
EMPL0Ys1,25O
Survey Shows the Number of
Men Employed Last Month
in Forestry Work.

Approximately 1850 men were en-
ployed last month in forest cleanup
activities throughout Northeastern Min
nesota, according to a survey just COM
pleted by the Minnesota Arrowhead
Association
The work is being done by the United
States forestry service and the state
forestry department, states George A
Perham, secretary of the association, in
a report of the survey, announced Sat-
urday. The projects include the clear
ing of roadsides in forests, parks and
trails and removing of dead and down
timber and general fire prevention.
R. A. Zeller, forest supervisor of the
Superior National Forest, has informed
the association that he has established
seventeen camps in the Superior forest,
with from $50 to 400 men employed
cleaning up down timber wrecked in
the cyclonic storm of July Goth, and on
similar work elsewhere in the forest
along trails and portages The ma
jority OF the men are residents of the
immediate territory, with few from
the MeSaba range. Some of the cooks
and other specialized trades necessary to
the project were recruited in Duluth.
Wages paid common labor are SIS per
month with board and $50 per month
where the men are not given meals.
The maximum wage for foremen is
$4,000
Details of relief employment work in

OF STATE HIGHWAY AFFAIRS
Continued from first page


transmitted to the Governor by Mr..
Babcock before leaving Office, and will
be given to members Of the legislature
this week. The complete report will be
published later.
Caution against adding more routes
than can be properly improved and
maintained, is sounded by Mr.. Babcock.
He points out that there will be no bond
money, no special federal aid, and
probably no regular federal aid. After
setting aside the money needed for in
terest and principal on bonds, mainten-
ance, administration, and the amount
transferred to the Secretary of State
for motor vehicle tax collection, the
balance left for new construction will
be less than one-third as great as in
1882. Routes in the original system not
yet constructed should have priority
over the new routes, he believes.
Mr.. Babcock recommends that the
trunk routes be extended through cities
of the first class, as matter Of fair
ness which will put these cities on the
same basis as other cities and villages
but he urges that adding other routes
be postponed two years. He also re-
commends that the one mill state aid
tax be continued at least for two years
more. Repeal Of this tax, he says
would work serious hardship on many
of the less populous counties.
That there be no change in the
motor vehicle tax or gas tax is also
urged, but Mr.. Babcock adds g. recon-
mendation that law adding one cent
to the state gas tax be passed, to take
effect if and when the federal gas tax
law terminates. Any failure properly to
maintain our roads, state and local, will
not necessitate large OUTLAWS for repair
and rebuilding at some future date, but
will add greatly to the cost Of transport,
he states. He adds that any reduction
of motor vehicle or gas taxes, or any
diversion of these taxes to other than
highway purposes, will sooner or later
increase local road taxes. 1t will not
bring any relief to the taxpayer, he de-
clares, but will only oomphcate our
taxing system. Taxing motor vehicles
for any other purpose than highways,
is discriminatory and unfair, he de-
clareS.
Legislation for roadside development
and protection against undue intrusion
of commercial enterprise is asked. Mr..
Babcocn concludes his recommendations
by asking a thorough legislative investi-
CATION of all phases Of the work of the
Highway department, in order that any
doubt created by gossip and rumors, or
public charges Of waste and extrava-
gance, be cleared up.

SPRAYING Paint

The spray painting machine was
used to an unimportant extent from
1870 to 1923 but it was only with the
introduction of pyroxylin lacquer into
the furniture and automobile finishing
field, in 1923, that it found extensive
application. Since that date the i'm
provement of the device has progressed
rapidly and its adaptation to other
fields has steadily spread. 1t has been
found equally serviceable for the appli-
cation of paint and varnish, and its
use with these has constantly ex-
banded.

Varying Tidal w yes

The irregular shape and depth of
the oceans and the obstructing land
masses cause the actual tidal waves to
differ very greatly. In the open ocean
the amplitude of the rise and fall of
tides is not more than l or 2 feet, but
around the continents, where the tidal
waves sweep into the shallow or mar
row seas, the waters are heaped up,
and the rise is sometimes 20 feet or
even more.
