TOMBSTONE AREA
TO Be SURVEYED
State and Federal Mining
Experts Seek New Posi-

BY the Associated Press.
TOMBSTONE, Ariz., September %.
The Arizona Bureau of Mines and
the United States Geological Survey
are seeking to determine whether the
famous Tombstone mining district has
a future which might overshadoW its
colorful past.
This area, which has yielded s25,-
100000 in metals since its discovery
in 1879 and at one time was known
as "the silver capital of the Nation, y
soon will be the subject of its first
metallurgical survey
A possibility that the Survey may
lead to the exploration of more and
even richer strikes" was voiced by Dr.
G. M. Butler, dean of the School of
Mines and Engineering at the Uni
versity of Arizona and head of the
State Bureau of Mines.
Although the Tombstone area has
been one of the most productive, it is
the only district of Importance in the
State on which no report has been
made. Preliminary notes and maps
had been compiled preparatory to a
general survey several years ago, but
the slump in the market, combined
with the cost of pumping water from
the old mines, caused the report to be
abandoned.

Under the program worked out at
the Evanston institution, mature per-
sons may enter as fully accredited STU
dents and may participate in all
phases of class work-even toward
obtaining a degree.
Tuition Rates Low.
Those not interested in degree will
be designated as auditors and will not
receive college credit. Tuition for
those working toward degree will be
S12 semester hour while the auditors
fee will be 81 a semester hour.
The idea of admitting adult STU
dents is not entirely new to North

past the schools of commerce and
journalism and the university college
have conducted night classes ON the
McKinlock Campus in downtown
Chicago.
At Chicago, DR.. Hutchins. an
avowed critic of the American system
of awarding degrees for college work,
is unwilling to say just how far he
plans to carry his adult program.
However, he is making it easy for
such students to transfer their credits
earned under the plan to the regular
channels through which degrees are
awarded.

COTTON, HIS OPPONENT,
IN QUIET CAMPAIGN
Democrats Are Heartened by
Many Applicants for County
and Legislative Places.
FRANK P. STEWART.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SALT LAKE CITY, September o.
Senator William H King is home for
the campaign. For several weeks his
opponent in the race for reelection,
Don B. Cotton, former Representative,
has been working quietly. Indications
are that the big guns of the campaign
will be brought into action soon. The
Democrats have nominated a strong
lineup of county and legislative
tickets. Prominent business men are
named for most Of the county offices
in Salt Lake County and the legisla-
tive tickets are representative CT every
industry in the State. Republican
county conventions will be held Tues
day of next week.
Supporters Marking Time.
During the last two weeks reports
have been coming from the outlying
communities of the State of meetings
held at which Mr.. Cotton spoke.
There nave been no large political
gatherings, however, and but little
publicity given to those held. The
supporters of Senator King have been
marking time. awaiting his return
from Washington. Now, that he is
back, it is expected that the campaign
will start on both sides
Democrats were heartened by the
many applicants for county and legis-
latiVe places At the Salt Lake
County Convention every place on
the ticket was eagerly sought At the
legislative convention held in Salt
Lake County. men and a woman
were nominated for the State Senate
and II men and 2 women for the
Lower House. Eleven men and cne
woman fought for the Senate places
while 73 had to be sorted out for the
House nominations. Those nominated
include lawyers, physician, dentist,
club women, university dear of mer,
a railroad man, a high school teacher
a mine union official, several farmers
and business men.
Gratifying Angle.
One angle that appeared gratifyine
to the Democrats was the fact thai
the leading nominee for the State
Senate was Herbert B. Nav, former
State Senator, who had opposed Sen
ator King for nomination and who.
it had been rumored, was considered
a likely head for third party. Dis
contented members of the party,
without his leadership, which now
seems out of the question, will not
get anywhere with a third party
movement at this time if they should
start one, which is not likely.

Nebraska Harvest Gives
Farmers Reason to For

By the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., September 22.-De-
spite drought and damaged crops Au-
tumn is bringing a golden harvest to
Nebraska.
Far from pessimistic, farmers of the
Cornhusker State turn from reports
that they are "drought-stricken" to
count more dollars than they have
fingered since 1880.
One reliable private estimate, based
on Government crop figures and cur
rent market prices, places their total
1884 income at $144, ,235, 900.
There is no denying the extent of
damage done by Scorching winds and
rainless weeks, but spectacular price
increases. combined with added thrift
and cash benefits under the Govern
ment's A. A. A. program, have assured
Nebraska of a farm income approXi-
mately s12,0o0,000 more than that of
1888, $60, 100000 more than 1882 and
81, 1000, 900 more than 1881.
In the cities, likewise, the pressure
of flowing cash Is being felt as reliable
indicators point to an upturn in pur-
chasing power.
A spokesman for Omaha retailers, for
example, reports an increase in retail
sales here during the firstSeven months
of 23,000,000 over the same period
last year; Omaha bank clearings in
August showed an increase of S26, 197.-
1913 over last August. Smaller COM
munities report corresponding gains.

siderable space in recent weeks to dis
counting any impression that Ne

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September pa
Statewide sales tax to raise money
for relief in Maryland is advocated by
Robert O. Bonnen, chairman of the
Community Fund.
Bonnell made this announcement in
a speech here this week. in which he
discussed the growth of the numbers
of persons on relief, the growth of the
organization distributing relief, the
increase in the sums spent and the
effect of the Federal Relief Admins
tration's activities in Maryland.
The sum necessary to take care of
each deserving family in the State
during the next II months is going to
be large, and the raising of funds to
meet this demand is going to prove a
problem, he declared.
Opposes Sale of Securities.
Speaking of the sales tax, Mr.. Bon
nell said:
The Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee on Unemployment Relief has
recommended the sales tax as most
satisfactory.
1T should not be raised by selling
securities, because the relief item will
be recurring for several years at least.
ITO raise this sum through the nor
NAL tax channel would mean a sub
CT io1 iy7f fax rn 3ioI,
is already too high and which falls al
most entirely on real estate.
The sales tax seems to offer the
most equitable distribution of the
burden and the assurance that the
necessary revenue will be raised.
Furthermore, it is a form of taxation
which will continually remind all of
us that we are paying for unemploy-
ment relief-an important factor if
conditions are to be improved.
Points to Drain of Relief.
"It is not within the scope of my
assignment to philOsophiZe. However,
it must be obvious that the practice
of supporting people who are produc-
ing nothing and who are not creating
wealth in its broad sense or contrib
uting in some way to the production
of wealth is a drain upon resources,
which. if long continued in large
volume, will lead to bankruptcy
Furthermore, it destroys the habit
of industry and penalties thrift. A
subsidy of laziness will eventually
build up an army of charity seekers
who will undermine our civilization.
THAT there are thousands of Mary
landers who are in dire need must be
recognized. That there are countless
others who, through fraud and the
misuse of relief funds, are making it
difficult to take care of the deserving
is equally true.
Urges Work for Relief.
"Those who secure public money
under false pretenses are committing
crime and should be treated accord
ingly. Every one of us should pledge
himself to put an end to these abuses
! by reporting evidence of them prompt
| ly to those in authority. Furthermore,
it would seem that some feasible plan
should be devised which would require
those receiving the benefits of relief
to work for it-not at a high wage,
| but at a wage which will create the
| constant urge to find something bet

AUTOLABOR BOARD
PLAN TO CONTINUE
THROUGH WINTER
Speculation Comedies Its
Functions Are Needed
if N. R. A. Quits.
HOURS AND SEASONAL
EMPLOYMENT ISSUES
Problem of Lay-offs Major One
in Industry Now, All Lead
ers Agree.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, September 22-When
the National Automobile Labor Board
was organized last Spring to attempt
to bring peace to the then unsettled
motor car industry, there was con-
siderable speculation as to how long
1t would remain in existence.
Throughout Summer months, it
has heard many cases in which dis
elimination against certain workers
was charged, and it reached agree
mentS with employers and employees.
Another vital question that occupied
the boards attention was the natter
of company unions, the method of
selecting official representatives -
workers desiring to effecuta. the
collective bargaining clause Ct the
national automobile code and other
items of concern in bringing about
conditions agreeable both to worker
and employer.
Boards Future in Doubt.
No little speculation has prevailed
In trade and labor circles concerning
the future of the board in the event
the N. R. A. code, already extended
60 days, should be abandoned after
November 4 While no official an
nouncement has been made. it is
understood unofflcially the board ex-
poets to continue its supervision of
relations between worker and employ
er through this Fall and Winter.
Aside from the matter of hours of
labor and conditions of employment,
the board, consisting. of DR.. Leo VOL
man of New York, economist, as
chairman; Nicholas Kelly, New York
attorney, as representative of the
manufacturers, and Richard L. Byrd
of Pontiac, Mich, as labor represen-
tative, is being looked to by both sides
for counsel in an effort to solve the
seasonal unemployment problem. This
admittedly is one of the most difficult
problems before the motor car in
dustry.
Policy Opposes Steady Work.
DR. Wolman admits the problem is
far from solution. While the industry
itself has geared production to de-
mand and avoided the effects of over
production that proved so disastrous
in 1929, this policy has done little to-
ward leveling the peaks and valleys
in working schedules.
Some authorities suggest an agree
ment TO limit distribution during the
present normal peak season of con-
sumner demand in order to force pur-
chasing at other periods is the real
solution to this problem. Others, how
ever, say the motor car industry, suf-
fering from restricted consumer de-
mand of more than four years dura-
ton, has been obliged to take its
profit when it can"
While this is a problem with which
members of the Labor Board are con-
cerning themselves wholly in an un-
official capacity and only as it might
contribute to a permanent settlement
of one of the chief points of conten-
ton between worker and employer,
any solution that may be undertaken
undoubtedly will be with the help of
the board, based on the knowledge of
the labor difficulties it has gained
from an almost constant procession
of automobile workers into its cham
bers here.
