mon tax pot2 The answer is simple this enormous amount will be spread over the remaining taxpay- ers."
 In addition to railroad tax levies of $243, ,Sl2, ,732 paid in 1884, only ex- ceeded by the all-time peak of more than $l,0oo,000 Q day reached in 1929 railroads as well as their employees are confronted with the additional annual burden laid upon them by the various social-security laws, MT. Loomis warns. "In view of the fact that the class I railroads of the United States have been unable to earn their fixed charges on bonds, etc.--during the past years, a rather difficult situation is going to develop.
 "These additional burdens are of- ten imposed with no regard for in- come. As a result, the railroad management has no alternative; 1t must find the money to pay these increases, and 1t is forced to a policy of the most drastic economy which may mean further reductions in working forces and employment, and a withdrawal of other benefits such as group insurance, various relief payments and voluntary obligations of like character. We may not like this, but there is no other way"

The forgotten art .... Once upon time tootoan player could be made his ability to boot the ball be- tween the goal posts from any distance or angle o the field Today seldom if ever do you hear of field goal
 made by drop kick The reason seems to be the coaches don't want drop kickers Yet there are few games played today which end with close scores which couo not have been decided the other way had proficient dropkicker been available and field goal by this means called by the quarterback There was nothing preter in the days before football became big business than o see trim young fellow step back few yards nehna Ine e hands and arms and await the snapback from center . What picture Charlie Brickley made in M the ney- that short but powerful arc which sent the ball regularly through the uprghts for three points Gone but not forgotten.

bitions?" he reseasoned.
 Jiggs' Idea Is Born
 The idea clicked with the powers that were and Bringing Up Fath- CT" was born.
 An so, 25 years ago McManus CT lated the characters of Jiggs and Maggie, married them of and to- day everyone is celebrating their silver jubilee.
 Throughout the successful career of Bringing Up Father" Me- Manus has proved that everything he sees and hears is grist for his mill. He never plagiariZes the ideas of others, but like the Rising Gen. eration" they suggest some potent ideas to him.
 "Jiggs" and Maggie" now make millions laugh in both hemispheres. It is even published in China, Jap an and South America. Nearly 500 newspapers use the comic today. Highest Paid Artist Today
 The man who is responsible for 1t is the highest paid comic artist in the world. He makes his home in Hollywood and is at his desk regularly every day. He enjoys the profession of amusing people. His conversation bubbles with the same humor that characterizes his car. toontoons. He sees fun in every- thing.
 In addition to his income from the cartoons, his royalties from books and Bringing Up Father" show have made him wealthy. Yet he lives simply. He has a modest but beautiful home in California overlooking the ocean. When in New York he stops ct hotel that caters to discriminating folk rather than to society.
 To look at him, you'd think he'd tale to carpet slippers, Q pipe and the evening newspaper as naturally as to three meals Q day. He's put together on the generous lines that distinguish persons who like com- fort. When he sits, he lounges: and even in walking he carries Q cane in such Q manner that he seems to be taking his ease. But George McN1anus proves that things and people are not always what they seem. He feels more at ease in Q pair of dress shoes than in carpet slippers, prefers smoking cigars to the point of inSistence and would rather have Q blank piece of bristol board on which to draw than read the most interesting news story.
 Best Dressed Cartoonlst
 Nevertheless George McManus Is Q comfortable person. That he pre- ferS to lounge immediately dress ed probably can be traced to his early environment. George Me- Manrs, ST., was Q theater manager during the boyhood of George, Jr. Young George, thrown into close contact with the carefully groomed notables of the stage in the gay eighties and nineties, early set up an ideal for dress which has won him the title of ''The Best Dressed Cartoonist." He takes to well-taiior. ed clothes so naturally that they seem a part of him.
 As for his liking cigars, one needs only turn to his work to find an explanation-it is easier to keep a cigar lighted than Q pipe. George

smokes an average of thirty cigars a day and has been doing this for the past 40 years, ever since he was l2 years old.
 The intensity with which he works and plays Is evident even when he is taking his ease. His conversation is animated. His hands, so accustomed to the portrayal of every situation in life, arnplify and give form to his words. Almost every description is accompanied by a sketch in the air. One and Only Hobby

CleanupC Campaign Nome From June l
 To Sth-Cooperate
Cooperate And Help Cleanup City During Week From
 June 1-8 Inclusive

The City Council has started Nome's 1885 Spring Cleanup Cam paign and has laid out various plans for ridding the city of a winters ac- emulation of debris and filth.
 To begin with, health and santa ton are the most important reasons, why the private property owner should cleanup his property and near surroundings.
 As a matter of cleanliness and safety to the family, a cleanup cam paign will be surprising in it's whole some effects.
 Debris piled around houses and on vacant property is not conducive to efficient fire protection. Now is the time for the public to avail itself of the Cleanup Week of the City of Nome and help insure these several important and well-known reasons why this campaign is carried on as an annual feature. Make the city presentable by the time the first boats arrive.
 June to June 9th has been de- signated as Cleanup Week. Health and Relief Committees will carry on inspections of the city and see that debris is packed to the streets so that the city dump truck can cart it away.
 There is another feature which might well be mentioned and that is that anyone not cleaning up their property after being notified by the Health and Relief Committee of the Council, will have it done by the city and the charges assessed against him.
 The public is expected to cooperate to the fullest extent in making this an efficient week of cleanup, so now is the time to start in and not wait until the week is over and then say you didn't know it was going to end so soon.
