FAR short of the 100000 .
month which the budget bureau
has estimated the tax should

which the 1888 general assembly
estimated it would bring in. The
revenue from the tax on beer is
also proving disappointing, with
only S31,376 collected in Sep

ton of the beer tax advocates in
the general assembly that 1t

MORE FOREST
NURSERIES in
VINO. NEEDED

RALEIGH. Oct. 3. Forest
nurseries in Western North Caro-
lima to supply seedlings suitable
for planting in the higher altl-
tudes were pointed out today by
r. Bruce Etheridge, director of
the department of conservation
and development as being among
the most pressing needs of the
states conservation program.
Mr.. Etheridgc said that the
only nursery for reforestatlon
stock operated by the state is in
Eastern North Carolina where
seedlings suitable for planting in
the mountains cannot be pro-
duced.
The conservation department,
along with other agencies inter-
ested in reforestation, have made
repeated efforts to establish
nursery in Western North Caro-
lima, but so far have been unable
TO obtain the funds necessary
for such project. One of the
reasons blocking the accomplish
ment Of this purpose has been
the inability Of the state to pur-
chase the land necessary for this
purpose.
If n tract suitable for the pur-
pose can be obtained without
cost Mr.. Etheridge believes that
the federal government might be
induced to establish the nursery
in its program Of cooperation
with the state in forestry.
In case the CCC camps are
continued long enough, Mr.. Eth
eridge is of the opinion that a
considerable amount of refores-
tation by planting could be ac-
complished in North Carolina.
Ordinarily. he continued, at least
two years are required to- bring
a nursery into production Of
stock suitable for reforesting.
The conservation director. hopes
that North Carolina will be able
to take fuller advantage Of the
services Of the CCC camps in ac-
tual planting of trees on, areas
needing reforcstation by: that
method. Compared with millions
of trees planted in other states,
North Carolina has not been able
Ia accomplish i great deal jim this

from the same sources, of ST.

collections for the first three
months of this fiscal year--JuIy,
August and September amount to
S4.322,tS3 as compared with col
lections of S3.S9l244 for the
same three months in 1882, or an
increase of S431,239.
Commissioner Maxwell is not
in the least worried by the fail.
IRE of the sales tax collections
to show I'D as well Is many had
hoped. and wives an explanation
70: this. He points out that mer-
chants who collect less than $40
a month in sales taxes do not
have. to report every month but
only every quarter. with the re-
sult that the collections of these
merchants will not come IN until
with the October collections on
business donein September. He
also points out that the sales tax
imposed on credit sales IS not
collectable by the state until col
lected from the credit customers
by the merchants. Thus it may
be several months before a meIl-
chant collects a bill on goods
sold in August. so that the state
will not get its tax on this Dill
of goods until the customer pays
the merchant.
"Whilc the sales tax collection
in September on sales made IN
August amounted to S4!l,Ioo,
this amount represents the re-
turns made by only 1878 mer-
chants out Of a total of "a, 4OO
registered merchants, leaving
13427 merchants who have not
vet reported Oh their August
sales" Maxwell said.
"This would indicate that the

FINE DAYS WORK

CONGRESS did a good days job yes
" terday, the house passing the infla-
ton bill and the senate putting the seal
of approval on the Muscle Shoals bill,
the latter now being ready for the Pres
ident's signature, except for few small
items which will be settled in confer
ence.
AS Will Rogers points out, few of US,
not excepting Mr.. Woodin and other
leaders, don't know nothing about this
initiation business.
But most of US can understand about
Muscle Shoals, the gigantic project down
in Tennessee which has been national
topic since the days of Woodrow Will
son and even further back than that,
for George Washington was also inter
ested in his day in plans for the devel-
opment of Muscle Shoals.
The Muscle Shoals project is compar-
able to our own Boulder Canyon dam
project as it provides for flood control,
power development, irrigation and other
phases of development which have be-
come familiar to all of US.
Passage of the Muscle Shoals bill,
while distinct accomplishment for Mr..
Roosevelt and the Democratic admins
tration, must also be recognized as
wonderful victory for Senator George w.
Norris, Independent Republican from
Nebraska, who for II years sought to
have Congress take favorable action on
Muscle Shoals. Throughout the years
Senator Norris battled for the project
and always met defeat, in congresses
that, it must be admitted, were Republi-
can.
Development of Muscle Shoals will
add much to the wealth OF the south, just
as construction of Hoover dam and de-
yelopment of the Colorado will do IN the
west.
1t is difficult for the layman to under.
stand why such progressive projects OF
development should have to face SUCH
difficult battles in congress, but 1t mas
ever been thus and perhaps always will
be. Perhaps it is just as well that 1t
should be so, for it makes the people
more appreciative when the battle is fin
ally won.

Planning Trip
To Hoover Dam

Through S. D. Carey, president,
and George Kruger, secretary, of
the Brawley Chamber of Com
merce, an invitation has been sent
to the people of Ell Centre, through
the El Centre Chamber, asking
them to join the people of Brawley
in a trip to be made this weekend
to Hoover dam.
The party will leave Brawley Fri
day noon and return Sunday night.
On arrival at Las Vegas the group
will be personally conducted and
will be shown everything which is
of interest in the Boulder dam area
Careful arrangements have been
mad by the Brawley Chamber of
Commerce and those from Ell Gen.
tro who plan to make the trip are
assured of a better time and great
er attention that if they we're to
go separately in small group. In
order to secure hotel reservations
for the weekend at Las Vegas, re-
servations should be mace at the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
or directly with the Brawley cham
Der at the earliest date possible.

ATEN'S STAND COMMENDED

THE PRESS is pleased to join with
! many others interested in Imperial
Irrigation District affairs, in congratu-
lating Ira Aten, veteran member of the
board of directors, for his action this
week in voting favorably on the prop
erty qualification measure.
Several calls have been received at
The Press office from leading citizens of
the second division, asserting that Aten's
action should be publicly commended.
1t is in compliance with this demand and
in recognition of its own appreciation,
that The Press extends it congratula-
tions.
1t is well known that Aten's stand has
brought down on him the ire of those
who oppose the property qualification
measure, but his friends feel that the
doughty old veteran should not be great
ly annoyed by this opposition. His stand
is right and right must always triumph
in the end
