Occupational Tax
Remittances Due

With August and September occu-
pational tax remittances due OCTOBER
20 the state tax commission today sent
out a last appeal to occupational Tax
payers to rush the filing Of their IN
formation reports for classification tnat
remittance blanks might be mailed TO
them.
Less than $4,000 of the estimated
10000 occupational taxpayers had for
warded their information reports Mon
day when the commission mailed OUT
it's first sets of remittance forms. In
formation reports have been coming IN
slowly since then and are being rapidly
classified, but many taxpayers have YET
to act.
"Whether it is written on sheet OF
plain paper or typed on one of our own
official report blanks we must have a
statement of the type of business
firm or individual is engaged in and an
approximate estimate of the average
monthly volume before we can send out
the proper remittance form upon which
the monthly tax is computed" T. M.
Jenner, state tax commissioner who Is
directing the administration of the new
tax law, said.
'"The law is new--demands certain
things of the taxpayer he has never
done before land because of that the
commission wishes to extend every pos
sible aid. But we must have coopera-
ton. The tax must be remitted on the
date due even if the penalties provided
by the statute must be invoked to
secure payment. The information re-
port is the first step toward the pro-
curement of the proper remittance
form. The responsibility of forwarding
that information rests with the tax
payer. We are looking forward to a
more prompt response as the public
comes to understand the situation. .

Reduction OF
County budget
Is Not Enough
HOPE TO REDUCE PRESENT $4,000
BUDGET BY AT LEAST
$4,000 MORE

Although the county budget has
been reduced to $e2,O9196 from the
preliminary estimates of Sill, 1000, Ben
ton county commissioners are still en-
gagged in finding ways to cut off an
other $4,000
The reduction will be made without
cutting salaries, officials indicated, but
some departments of government may
be eliminated. The tax levy will be
up to the limit allowed by law, 10 mills,
Ira Hawley, chairman of the board,
states. The levy in this county last
wear was IL mills. In addition to be-
ing required to cut mills from the
levy, the commissioners will have to
provide for lower property valua-
ton, says the Yakima Herald.
In letter from the attorney gen.
erals office, Harry Forsyth, treasurer
assessor, learned that the original value
will be used instead of the increased
valuation announced after the tax COM
mission meeting. The total here is
SO ,O63, 0O9, loss of $1,O48,257 Forsyth

The loss, he added, came In rail-
road valuations which are down IL
per cent, and personal property. The
real estate total is more than last year,
as additional lands have come on the
tax rolls.

the club leader being dropped loomed.

Don't Forget The
School Election

Whether or not the directors OF
White Bluffs School District No. z will
borrow money and issue negotiable
bonds to the sum of $9,173.94 will be
decided at the special election to be
held Saturday, October. z.
If the bond issue is carried at the
election, the directors will, from the
proceeds of these bonds, pay of the
warranted Indebtedness Of the district
to that amount This sum of money Will
cover warrants numbering from 1888
to 5516.
The bonds will carry not more than
six per cent interest, payable semi
annually, beginning the second year
after date of issue. They will be retired
in twenty years.
If the voters of the district favor the
bond issue, it will enable the district to
get back to nearly cash basis and VIII
effect a saving of several per cent per
year on interest, as warrants carry
seven per cent interest, while the bonds
will carry six per cent or less. 1t Will
also benefit number of residents OF
the valley who have accepted warrants
of the district during the past year, as
they will then be able to cash their
warrants. A number Of school districts
in the state have already availed them
selves of this method of paying OIL
their warranted indebtedness.
| The election will be held at the
White Bluffs High School building from
/ o'clock in the afternoon until
o'clock in the evening, Saturday, Octo'
Der z. All residents of the school dis
trict who have resided in the state ont
wear, in the county ninety days and II
the school district thirty days ar
eligible to vote at the election. A ma
iority of three-fifths is necessary tt
carry the bond issue. Votes will be cas-
for Bonds Yes" or Bonds NO."

Flooding for Control of
Wireworms Is Suggested

The notion that WireWOrmS, common
insect pests of field and truck crops,
can stand anything has been disproved
by recent Investigations in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
There is a limit, the entomologists find,
to their endurance of both wetness and
dryness. Drowning out or drying out,
therefore, will curb these pests, for
which no cheap chemical has yet been
developed.
Flooding to control wireWorms Is
feasible, of course, only on irrigated
farms. In the Departments tests, mum
dating infested fields at temperatures
from 10 degrees to 80 degrees F. de-
stroyed from 95 to 100 per cent OF the
worms. Below 60 degrees F. wireWorms
are SO sluggish that they need very lit
! tie oxygen. In this condition they can
/! live for year under water Flooding
+, is effective only in the warmest months
usually July and August and is possible
only on fairly level fields where plenty
water is available for at least a week
between the harvesting of one crop ane
the planting of the next.
Lack of moisture Is as fatal as too
much moisture to newly matched
worms. Wireworm populations, there
fore, can be greatly reduced by planting
every or years, a grain or forag'
crop that will remove practically all tn
moisture from the surface foot OF sol
if irrigation is withheld.
Depriving the young worms OF 100
also helps control an infestation. Cleal
summer following removes the weed
that provide them with food. A weed
summer fallow has been known to bull
up wireworm population that woul
last for several years.

BLANTON OPENS new
FIGHT FOR PAY CUT
Move for Repeal of Classification
Act of 1923 Exempts
$1,000 Salaries.

Representative Blanton, Democrat, Of
Texas, renewed his fight today for a
reduction in the salaries of Federal and
District employees by introducing a reso-
luton in the House to repeal the classifl.
cation act of 1928 and all its subse-
quent amendments.
Salaries under the resolution would
automatically revert to the status pre-
ceding the effective date of the classifi-
cation act for positions involving the
same, or substantially same, duties The
resolution. however. would exempt en-
pioyes whose salaries did not exceed
Sl,600 year when the classification
act became effective, or employees whose
existing salaries under classification are
not more than $1,000. A list of the
high-salaried positions in the Govern
ment service Is carried in the resolu-
ton, which points out that there are
numerous efficient and worthy employees
drawing salaries below 81 800 who have
zealously worked for the Government
for years, who have not had a raise
IN salaries for 10 years, the appropria-
tions designed to relieve them having
been used in giving preferential classifi-
cation and ratings to pet heads of
units"
For Congress to regain its necessary
control over the continual raising Of
salaries" the resolution added, 1T Is
necessary to repeal the classification
act. stop making lump-sum appropria-
tions and return to specific appropria-
tions for ell branches and departments
Of Government"
