at the best and it Is often desirable
to spray infested plants twice during
the dormant season, once shortly after
the leaves fall and again in the Spring
before the buds greatly expand. There
are two general types of spray material
for combating scale insects-namely,
lime-Sulphur mixture and spraying
oils. Both are effective, but the lime
sulphur has certain advantages since
it controls also various fungous
troubles, such as peach leaf curl. In
fact, peach trees which suffered from
leaf curl last Spring should be sprayed
with lime sulphur this Autumn just as
soon as the leaves drop. The lime sui
phur concentrate may be secured from
any garden supply store. either as a
powder or as a dense liquid. Direc-
tons for dluting with water will be
found on the packages.

State ANALYST
BY Horace Lane and Lew selvidge

Washington's tax problem is not al
serious as most people think, since
Governor Martins now lamented radio
speech on the subject, and the Gov
ernor is expected to present brighte,
side in his message to the legislature
late this week.
The Governor is now ready to ad-
NIT his psychology was all wrong In
that radio talk, for he told the voters
the state would need s42,0oo,ooo from
sources other than property taxes to
run the next biennium.
Having obtained new set of fig
ures from the tax commission, the
Governor finds the situation is more
cheerful. He painted a dark picture
in that broadcast, now he is reveal
ing the silver lining in the cloud.
1t works out this way. The total tax
bill in the state in 1929 was $81 900, 900
raised by property levies In 1885 the
total tax bill on property will be $44,-
100000. That's reduction of $751;
100000, or about Al per cent of the
tax bill The Governor did not have
these figures when he gave his radio
talk, he wishes he had, undoubtedly.
Opposition to the raising of 42,000,-
900 in new levies rose on every hand.
No one thought of the Al per cent

cut in property taxes, because the
Governor didn't point it out.

cut in property taxes, because the
Governor didn't point it out.
The reduction was forced by the 40
mill law and Initiative "a, and was
helped by reduction in assessed val
uations throughout the state. So pro-
perty owners get from under nearly
half the tax load. That's a real help
to the small home owner, not to men
ton the larger property owner.
| So the tax load is both reduced and
distributed more widely. True, much
OF the AZ per cent came In city and
county costs, yet the state received It's
share, as there can be no general fund
levy in 1885. The idea Is, that with
property relieved Of AZ per cent Of its
load, the people will expect some other
form of taxation to care for relief, old
age pensions and the schools. The
business tax will return around $14,-
100000 for the two years. BY cutting
down here and there and by providing
some other tax, small general sales
tax or like revenue measure, the state
should balance its books. The Gov
ernor, is opposed to sales tax, but may
have to accept it as the revenue field
has been sharply restricted. No matter
what tax is finally voted, property
holders are out from under AZ per
cent of the load, in comparison with
1929
Since this column predicted week
ago that the congressional delegation
would oppose Charles F. Ernst as re-
lief administrator, the group has sent
a letter to Harry L. Hopkins, federal
head, asking that Ernst be left out of
any proposed new work for relief. And
several county groups have also voiced
opposition to the relief chief.
The principal issues which will come
before the Oath legislature may be
listed as follows
Flood control, liquor law amend
ments, creation of state bank, new
highway code, state oil and gas code,
gasoline wholesaling by state, new
anti-crime and narcotic laws, larger

TO THANK MINISTER
Dear Mrs. Beeckman::

Dear Mrs. beeckHAAn'
II have been i'll for some time
and have not been able to go to
church. The minister of our
church comes in quite often to
see me, and just before he leaves
he asks if l wish to have him
offer a prayer. After the prayer,
/ always thank him, and cordl-
ally invite him to come to see
me again whenever it is con-
venient for him.
"My husband suggests that
sometimes it would be polite for
me to be the one who asks for
the prayer. Also my husband
and 1 have wondered if it would
be proper to give a sum OF
money to the clergyman for his
kindness to me. What do you
think about both these queS-
tiOnS? M.
It would be quite proper for
YOU sometimes to ask the
clergyman for his prayer. For
instance. you might say, "Mr.
Worthy, I miss so much the
comfort of your prayers that I
used to have when I was able
to 60 to church. Would you
be so kind as to offer prayer
now?"
If you are financially able
to give a sum of money to the
church, even a small sum, it
would be generous of you to
do so. But it would not be
appropriate for you to regard
this money as a payment to
the clergyman for his kindness.
He would be embarrassed by
this, since such visits to the
sick of his congregation he re-
CARDS as a part of his gracious
duty as shepherd of his flock"
The thing for you to do is to
indicate that this gift Of money
is for the church, the sum of
the contributions you and your
husband would have made to
the church collections during
the time that you have been
i'll
