To SALES LEVY
State TreaSurer'S Report
Shows Cash Balance
of $4,447,656.
81 United Press


JACKSON. Miss, May 3.-From
the proverbial red Of history, Missis-
sippi's financial complexion has def
nitely turned black under the ad-
ministration of Gov. Mike Conner,
father of the sales tax"
The state treasWer's report today
showed a cash balance in general
and special funds of s4.447 656, the
heaviest cash balance in history
with no large outstanding debts.
May was the third anniversary
of enactment of the 2 per cent re-
tail sales tax law, which officials
credited with bringing the state
from the financial doldrums.
Gov. Conner announced the sales
tax had yielded S9l40,2l9 in the
three years. He said:

cations amounting to more than ST.

only through sales tax could
the situation be saved. 1t was made
a law. Now, the credit of the state
has been restored. state property
taxes have been reduced IS per cent
and limited hOmeSteadS exempted
from all state taxes; millions of dol
lars of bonds have been paid of. and
the state has operated easily within
its income"
He also pointed out that state gov
ernmental costs had been reduced
through application of sound and
honest business methods"
In my opinion" he said. there
is no fairer tax than a sales levy"

a moment when she gives her i'm

I don't think she could have
possibly accomplished this high

experience behind her as a stage

to those little girls and boys who
feel that, given the chance, they
might have the same beginners
luck. After all it wasn't luck.
There was hard work back Of

If these remarks seem to give
the impression that Eleanor Pow

trlaIly there is a young actor,
Robert Taylor, who has q much
harder acting task than Eleanor

finish with a top-notch score

Also there is a fellow who

He did this classroom analysis Of

AIR BASE LOCATIONS.

Indication has been given that the first army air base may be established in Fairbanks in con- nection with the new national defense program. There is no reason to believe that Army experts do not know exactly what they about and every perience in cold weather flying which is given as one of the reasons for probable establishment of the base at Fairbanks
 But it causes us, located here the coast within aerial fighting distance of the Westward the Interior and Puget Sound wonder just how much actual fighting would ever be done north of the Alaska Range in the event of war. For purpose of illustration it is probably safe to assume that for some time in the future at least attack need be anticipated from the North polar regions nor from the East or South. Thus the first line of defense naturally would be expected to be to the West to counter any possible attack by water or air from that direction Why then would not an aerial base be especially effective the South east Alaska coast?
 Assuming that the scene of war activities would be the North Pacific, which seems to be the popular theory planes from Fairbanks base would have to fly several hundred miles using up a large amount of gasoline before they could even get to the coast, let alone the scene of action base in the Southeast or in the Westward along the coast would eliminate that long hop at the onset. Too, it cannot be overlooked that coast base could be made easily adaptable to both land and water aircraft. A fine example is airport site here which could readily be converted into base to handle both army and navy planes. There are other good sites to be found along the coast and near some of the major cities.

THE WILD FOWL SEASON.

Despite the insistence of Atlantic seaboard and Middle West States that duck shooting should be stopped entirely not only in their preserves but in Alaska to allow migration the Territory is to get an open season of 30 days; the month of September in the Westward and Interior and Sep tember 20 to October IS in the Southeast
 Just why the few residents of Alaska should be barred from taking few ducks geese or snipes because powerful sportsnens organizations in the States want couple of extra maards to fly into the Mississippi Valley is of those fathomabe puzzles. Game conservation is fine thing but if all the ducks and geese resident Alaskans shoot turned loose in the great Middle West States alongside the thousands that migrate south every year the kill wouldn't be enough to wad shotgun by comparison
 Our duck season may be nothing to brag about, many feeling it is too early for good shooting, but at least it is a short open season which is some- thing it appeared for a long time we were not going to get.

NEED FOR SWIMMING POOL.

Drowning takes another Juneau youngster the second lad to lose his life here this summer by falling into the water
 The unfortunate part of it all is that so few boys and girls here able to swim and handle themselves in the water. The swimming season is short at best and then is only for the more hardy due to the cold water. The Boy Scouts have done wonderful work along this line in that the lads going to Eagle River have been given instruc- tions and most of them have been taught to swim at least little But the large majority of the voungsters in Juneau can't swim stroke.
 The fact that recent attempt to start swim
 ming pool here went the rocks should not detract from the merit of such an undertaking If some sort of a swimming pool could be established so our boys and girls could acquaint themselves with water and how to handle themselves in it, a great stride would be made toward eliminating large of these water tragedies.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1885


 Astrologers read this as an un- certain day in planetary direction. It is well to be cautious in all inn pcrtant matters-es especially in what ever effects the rights of labor. Unrest and discontent is foreseen among workers who may experi- ence extraordinary changes in in- dustrial policies. Perils of many sorts appear to threaten.
 This is an suspicious day for certain merchants and manufactur- CTS who are to profit greatly in coming months, but they must be- ware of overstepping human rights.
 The planetary government en- courages many lines of business and especially whatever concerns the home and the average family.
 Much buying of clothing and household goods is forecast and in crease in marriages through the year will create continued demands for dwellings and apartment houses.
 Those who read the stars counsel thrift and wise expenditures. The future holds surprising events that will bring new tests to dwellers on the planet Earth.
 This is lucky sway under which to enter into engagements to mar ". Love affairs flourish under this configuration, but romances may be too sudden to be lasting.
 Theatres should prosper. Actors and actresses have the best possi- ble influences guiding them. From small stages great stars are to step into world fame. the seers prophecy. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of much Inspiration through beauty and new friends. Some griefs may be en- countered.
 Children born on this day prob ably will possess great idealism and imagination. Subjects of this sign have literary or artistic talents.
 T. Marion Crawford, American was born on this day, 1854. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Samuel E. Pin gree, governor, 1882; Elisha Gray, inventor, 1855.
