Cannot Restore
State Flood Levy
No Legal Place For Such Levy;
Cannot Amend Law For
Two Years

OLYMPIA, Jan. IA. (UP)-Flood
control enthusiasts who want the
legislature to restore the one-half
mill state reclamation levy, to be
used in fighting flood inroads, are
doomed to disappointment, State
Tax Commissioner T. M. Jenner
said today.
There is no legal place for such a
state levy at present, since Initiative
81 earmarks the states entire two
mill levy under the 40-mill law for
higher education exclusively.
Since the initiative was passed by
poular vote last November, state law
p revents the legislature from
amending it for two years after
ward.
Want Reclamation Levy
Snohomish county flood control
and civic groups recently passed a
resolution asking the legislature to
restore the levy. The half-mill rec
lamation levy was suspended by the
1925 legislature as the state recla-
nation revolving fund was overflow
ing with money.
On April 1, 1888, the fund still had
81 300, 622. Much of this was used to
buy irrigation district bonds under
a 1888 special session law. A half
mill levy on the states present ST.
000,000,000 OBJ valuation would net
100000, could such tax legally be
made.
A possibility exists Governor Mar
tin will ask the legislature to ap-
propriate 100000 for flood control.
A knotty problem for the courts
might arise should the 1885 session
neglect to suspend the levy another
two years, as each past session has
done. The question then would be
whether the old statute creating the
levy many years back had prece-
dence over the 40-mill law.
Aid To Counties Varies
= The state planning councils well
fare committee figured how big a
tax levy various counties would have
to make to finance unemployment
relief activities paid for by the state
and federal government.

have been required to float relief on

BACKBONE OF TRANSPORT

n spite of all claims to the contrary, the railroads
I remain the backbone Of the nations transpor-
taton system
Other carriers may supplement the rails, and per
form a valuable service. But it is a limited service.
Trucks can handle but a fraction of the nations
freight, and almost none Of its heavy, transconti-
mental freight-wheat, machinery, etc.
Buses can provide inexpensive and excellent
short-haul passenger service-but the vast bulk Of
travellers still 60 BY rail when embarking Oh a
lengthy journey
There are definite limits to the airplane-its high
cost, Its relatively sparse coverage of the nation,
its inability to handle freight.
The waterways are limited by geography and by
seasons In addition, they have proven to be con-
slant money losers, and can only be kept in opera
ton by vast governmental subsidies.
The railroads touch every portion Of the country
They provide service to remote areas, tiny hamlets,
little known farming and mining districts. They
run on regular schedules They provide maximum
service at a minimum cost. The railroads did much
to bring civilization to the wilderness in the be-
ginning Of this nations expansion-they do much
to keep civilized places from degenerating back to
wilderness now.
In addition, the railroads are one Of our greatest
taxpayers, employers, purchasers of supplies They
offer a gigantic market IN normal times for lumber,
steel, copper, coal They are the bulwark Of all in
dustry-and an essential public servant

sa5,oOO,OOo A DAY FOR SECURITY

The Life Insurance Sales Research Bureau reports
1 that during the first six months Of the year
sales Of ordinary life insurance in the United States
equaled the relatively high mark set during the
same period Of 1884.
During every working day the American people
purchased more than $25,0OO,OOO OF new insurance
protection, in addition to the enormous sums being
invested in a~nnuities.
Social security obtained through life insurance is
Of permanent, real worth j. obtained through
the efforts, the thrift, the foresight and often the
sacrifices Of individuals. They are working out
their own economic s~alvation-they are not depend
ing on government or any other outside source to
provide It for them.
Every working day $25,OOO,OOO Of protection is
being contracted for the dependents Of wage earn
ers-and to safeguard the future of the wage earn
