Christmas Tree Tax
Asked By Goodyear
Flew Measure Would Curb Waste.
full Cutting; Prevent
Fires

OLYMPIA, December IL. To
curb Wasteful cutting and provide
funds to aid in fire protection, the
1897 legislature will be asked to levy
a one-cent tax on Christmas trees
cut in Washington for export" to
other states, State Forester T. s..
Goodyear said today.
Similar attempts have been made
in past sessions, but the problem is
becoming more serious as the an
nual Christmas tree harvest" grows
in size. The 1885 cut probably will
set a new record Of 100000 trees,
This leaped to 100000 last year
and this season will go still higher.
Tax Only Export Trees
The severance tax would be levied
On trees cut for export only, not
those sold in Washington. Trees
bring the owner from one cent to
a cent and a half each. Goodyear
said he had seen the same trees sell
for $150 in New Orleans and from
IS cents to 81 in California. Heavy
freight costs represent the major
part of the high price.
While southern and eastern chill
dren are enjoying their Christmas
presents under Washington-cut
trees, the state is taking a big loss
in young trees and steps must be
taken to remedy the situation,
Goodyear said.

Battle Is Looming
Over State Gas Tax
Cities Ask Boost From IL To Is
Per Cent; Claim High
Relief Figure
CONTINUED From page One)

Continued From Page One)
City officials are expected to use
similar figures to lobby their bill
through the next legislature, argu-
ing that only lis per cent Of gaso-
line is burned on highways which
counties maintain and build and
AIS per cent in cities, while coun-
ties get four times as much gas tax
as cities.
Cities Pay More
The California official survey dis
closed that one-fourth of gas burned
within cities was on state highways
running through the municipality
If the states mileage percentage
run the same. as California, the
Washington gas tax, if divided
mathematically, would be distrib-
uted as follows: S. 100000 to the
state, $1,38OO0O to counties and 81
100000 to cities-a total of $4,000
600.
Pay For Relief
Washington has to deduct about
81 100000 year from the gas tax to
retire its emergency relief bonds.
These payments go on until 1888,
the bond issue being in D-year
bonds
County governments, hard pressed
for funds under tax-reduction in
itiatives, will fight to the last ditch
any attempt by cities to bring the
gas tax mellon-cutting down to a
mathematical oasis. Cutting coun-
ties share of gas tax from Sc, 200 900
to $1,38O,OO0 would cripple county
road building programs In rural
areas.
Such programs would have to be
carried on by the state out OF it's
share as cities undoubtedly would
spend their $780, 900 on city streets
alone and not branch out into
market roads.
Some counties have spent gaso-
line tax funds to build courthouses
and pay county expenses having no
connection with bodybuilding. Un-
der the 1885 law, however, the state
highway department stopped this
practice by disappearing all such
expenditures. on grounds the gas
tax was levied for road building and

State Nursery !
To Aid Reforestine
New Seedlings Developed B,
CCC Units; Goodyear
Head

OLYMPIA, December 9.-State
Forester Ted S. Goodyear has L.
100000 youngsters" in the states
newest and largest nursery.
The youngsters in this case are
seeding evergreen and hardwood
trees in their first year at the nurs-
cry in southwest Thurston county,
Developed by CCC labor from the
El1na camp under Supervisor Paul
Meyer, the nursery will supply trees
for reforesting the 40,O00-acce capt.
tOl state forest and other state
owned lands now cutover or burned.
Extract Seeds
In addition to three long seed
beds with the tiny trees just
sprouting, the nursery has COM
plete power seed extraction plant
and cone drying room producing
seed for planting in the spring of
1896. The drying room can handle
200 bushels Of cones at time.
When the cones are dried, their
petals" pop open and seeds ere
extracted. CCC workers wear Strang
looking rubber masks during this
process to keep the bothersome res
in dust from their lungs.
The capacity of the nursery will
be increased to 100000 trees next
year and in future years can be ex-
panded ten-fOld If necessary. An
overhead sprinkling system will be
Installed soon to water the seedlings.
Construct Tall Tower
The capitol state forest eventually
will embrace 100000 acres OF first
class forest land in one square
block, without single human hab-
liant. In the center, CCC men this
summer constructed the tallest state
lookout tower in washington, over

ately by woodsmen and rejected at
the roadside as "culls". With a tax
of a cent per tree, such waste would
be reduced, he declared. Many large
trees are felled and only six feet of
the top taken, the rest lying on the
ground and constituting fire haz-
ard.
The severance tax would be used
to pay re-fighting expenses in
areas stripped by Christmas tree
cutters and to superintend cutting
to curtall wasteful methods. Christ
mas tree dealers do not contribute
anything to the state for fire pro-
lection, but depend on the state for
their annual crops.

''Foolproof Auto Tags" to Halt
Car Thefts, Considered Here

With a view to curbing the auto
mobile theft racket, the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation has called to
attention Of State authorities the de-
STABILITY Of adopting non-inter-
changeable license plates for automo-
biles.
In this connection 1t was learned
today that District ofacials already
are considering proposals for the
adoption here of a special type of fool
proof tag used In Florida and Missis-
sippi and recently placed on 10000
cars in Massachusetts, as an official
experiment.
There are htlf O dozen patented de-
vices on the market, 1t Is said, but
only one, of so-caIled clock strip" de-
sign, has been adopted by any OF the
States.
The new District of Columbia tag,
IL approved, would cost about 10 cents
more than the present tag and would
require certain changes In plate-mak-
ing machinery to manufacture, 1t Is
said. It's inventor, @. L. Fortinberry,
q Washington resident who came
here several years ago from jackson.
Miss, claims the special tag Is an
effective deterrent to car thievery,
joy-riding and other violations IN
which q change Of automobile tags Is
desirable.
Trafic Director Van Duzer is in
vestigating the device with view
to determining It's effectiveness and
its practicability from the standpoint
Of its possible manufacture at Lorton
Reformatory. Commissioners Hazen
Evening star., 1935-06-25

and Allen also are reported to be in
terested in the tag.
In q special announcement sent to
law enforcement authorities through
out the Nation, the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation said it has received nu-
merous suggestions relative to adop-
ton by the States Of some form Of
license plates for automobiles so con-
structed that the plates could not
be removed without rendering them
UNIT for further use-in other words,
without practically destroying the
plates"
The non-transferable plate Of the
'1ock strip" type has been used by
Mississippi for three years and by
Florida for two years. Oficials Of
both States have asserted there has
been a reduction in automobile thefts
during those periods.
The plate is the same In size and
general appearance as the conven-
tional tag, except for simple lock-
ing mechanism built into the license
plate. This mechanism consists Of the
so-called locking strip, separate from
the main plate, and which bears the
stamped numbers designating the year.
There are two small square holes or
windows" at the top of the tag, back
Of which the locking strip Is showed
until the year numbers show through
the windows. Once In this position
it is impossible to remove the strip
without mutilating it or the tag, and
since the strip also covers the special
case-hardened bolts by which the
tag is attached to the bracket, 1t Is
impossible to remove the tag.

BY HOWARD BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 25.-The 1,500
doses of infantile paralysis vaccine
sent from Temple University to North
Carolina and Tennessee bid fair tn
sound the beginning Of a new day
in this plague of children.
That is the end Of the paralysis
menace, not by finding cure, but BY
new prevention methods, better treat
ment, surer diagnosis-the road al
ready travelled far by tuberculosis. yell
low fever, smallpox and some Of the
great scourges of the past.
The big question the fathers and
mothers in the Tennessee and North
Carolina districts ask today Is, how
sure is the new vaccine; how quickly
does it act?
The answer can be given with deflni-
ton of one technical word, "antibody."
Warns On Infection.
The antibody Is a chemical sub
stance formed by the body to ward of
each kind of bacteria or virus, bows
to one antibody, and not often to
more than one.
This fact is why a person who has
had smallpox does not catch it again,
but is not protected against any other
disease. Smallpox antibodies formed
during the smallpox attack will pro-
tect only against that disease.
So prevention Of a disease depends
on presence of an antibody specific for
it. and vigorous besides.
In the Kolmer vaccine sent south
there is no question about either the
antibodies, or their fighting qualities.
They have been tried by sure methods.
First in volume-this vaccine pro-
duces an amount Of antibody COM
parable to that found in person
with natural immunity to infantile
paralysis.
Second in vigor-the antibodies Of
the Kolmer vaccine have successfully
neutralized, or destroyed, the virus Of
infantile paralysis taken from human
beings who had it in q 1884 California
epidemic. The virus is the cause Of
infantile paralysis.
No Ill Effects.
These protective antibodies have ap-
peared in "a per cent Of the children
thus far studied after vaccination. The
protective substances have appeared
in a very few days. No children have
shown the slightest Ill effects from the
vaccine.
In monkeys the immunity from this
vaccine has lasted two years. In
human beings the duration Is un-
known. For one thing there hasn't
been time to find out.
On the anti-body side this all means

Paralysis Vaccine Sent South

Prevention; Rather, Is Provided by
AntibOdies, Tried and Tested for
Fighting Qualities.

that children vaccinated In time are
unlikely to have the disease, and If
they do come down, may have it with
less severity.
Whether there Is protection in the
vaccine after the disease has started
Is not known. In the view Of some
physicians there might be the same
protection that serum from infantile
paralysis convalescents is supposed
to give. Medical men have not agreed
whether this sort Of protection Is
real.
The discovery Of vaccines one the
Temple University product. the other
the Park-Brodie vaccine in New York
City-have opened the way to an
other protective measure.
Substitute Diagnosis.
There Is still no early diagnosis,
no way Of foretelling the disease until
it has developed. But there Is a
substitute. Use Of the vaccine ma
terial will show whether a person
is sensitive to infantile paralysis virus,
much as incubation with pollens will
show sensitivity to hay fever. By
this method 1t is possible to find
out whether a person possesses some
degree Of natural immunity. If the
tests show none the vaccine can be
given.
One serious drawback has oeen the
difficulty and expense of making
enough vaccine, as monkeys must be
used. The New Workers have found
a method Of Using cheap, laboratory
rodents for enough of the vaccine to
make the necessary tests for the pres
ence Of immunity.
In treatment after the infantile
paralysis appears the first modern step
Is to prevent the child from putting
the slightest strain on any muscles
attacked by paralysis. The disease
so wastes these muscles that small
effort may help TO destroy them per-
manently.
Hydrotherapy Is the next great step
the use of warm water baths a lit
tie under body temperature. In these
paths limbs too weak to stand any
movement without riSk can be exer-
cised safely with the buoyance that
comes under water. Thus the injured
muscles are brought hack.
A treatment not Yet accepted by
the medical profession generally, but
admitted for exhibition to the Amer
jcan Medical Association meeting two
weeks ago, offers a possible method
Of reducing the extent Of paralysis
after the onset of the disease.
This Is q treatment, developed by
George Retain, NJ. D., If Syracuse Uni
versity for washing out some OF the
Inflammation in the brain, wrlch Is
The seat of the paralysis. It has
been tried on only O very few chill
dren. With most OF them its effects
we're apparently favorable.

SociaIiStic Schemes.

Charges that Chief Counsel H. s.

Investigating Committee had written
"socialistic" articles were made yes
terday by Senator Dickinson, Republic
can, of Iowa, as the Investigators de-
manded a strict policing" OF the
naval shipbiulding industry.
The Iowan's request for informa-
ton on the background" Of the chief
counsel for the committee came only
q few hours after the investigating
group had filed a report Of its find
ings in a six-week inquiry into alleged
"collusion" by major ship building
companies in bidding on naval con-
tracts.
Charges SociaIistic Schemes.
"The Government is being gradually
woven into various Socialistic
schemes" Dickinson said, leading up
to his discussion of Raushenbush.
snow I am going to refer to one fur
ther thing, and that is the suggestion
that a man in position where ne
receives confidential information may
be able to carry on without the Gov
ernment knowing very much about
what his motives are, and in that way
he can secure information which will
afterward permit him to further
plan of his own.
only today as I understand, the
report Of the Munitions Committee
has been filed. 1t contains great
deal of testimony from H. S. Raush-
enbush."
He introduced into the record an
article bearing Raushenbush's name
entitled Boring From Within" Dick
inson quoted it as urging students
from the colleges to obtain Govern
ment positions and work ION the rea-
sonable hope that in the course OF
another 10 years we shall have gov
ernment control of much more def
mite kind over our trusts, banks and
general industries"
Asks Legislative Program.
In its report to the Senate on one
of the major phases Of its investiga-
ton, the shipbuilding industry from
pre-war times to the present P. w. A.
financed naval building, the Num-
tions Committee pleaded for FIVE
fold legislative program.
It proposed barring "profiteering"
on naval contracts by limiting private
shipyards to a $50O,000 profit on cruis-
ers as compared with the committees
contention that 81 900, 900 to more than
S2,0O0,000 had been collected on sew
eral contracts.
Other recommendations included q
requirement for the controller general
to pass on all contracts before awards
by the Navy Department, provision
that the Navy make itself independent
of the private yards in designing, a
proposal that all shipbuilding lobby
lists be registered and required to report
receipts and expenditures, and, finally,
a provision that no naval inventions
be permitted to get into hands Of
foreign governments within five years.
