STALKING THE WARY ROEBUCK

High on the mountain top we have stalked the mighty roebuck to his lair and sent bullet between his horns low enough, luckily that he lost further interest in this existence We have slashed his throat and seen the red gore gush out into the snow patch Our heart has throbbed and exulted, even as Long, fellows Hiawatha
 But then, we bore the red deer homeward. No that isn't entirely correct for in steep places on the mountain side, the buck bore In other words we slide head first tummy, the once wary roebuck wrapping himself around ears horn prodding itself into ribs. Our gun went in one direction us and the roebuck in another, to land with dull thud against the side of boulder which appeared just as big as Boulder Dam. The boulder was in creek and through the seat of pants and into our boots swept the mountain torrent
 Long we pondered the wisdom of shooting roe bucks the mountain top. We struggled out of the tangle retrieved our gun and saled downward By this time deer had grown in size from mere 125 pounds to at least $50 He grew pound by pound with each step. Finally, we struck upon what we thought would be a bright idea We lashed our roe buck in such position that thought could drag him downward through the forest It worked success fully for much as 100 yards, then, not being as sure-footed agile roebuck, starboard foot went in direction, the rest of and the deer in another. winding up emphaticaly in nice patch of devil club, the roebuck it seemed, top. what Jockey, that ornery roepucK? How Sharp those devil club briars?
 Like Christian soldier, we struggled on though the darkness upon us. Louder louder groaned muscles and knees of putty; finally, they collapsed beneath us.
 Not even the boys who rode with Sheridan had a better ride than us and that roebuck. Exhausted lay there in the forest. We had roebuck, but we also had good hail mile to the beach, So we pulled off our belt and lashed prized deer in tree probably as much as four feet off the ground the creature having grown by this time to weigh at least 900 pounds including the horn which had played the Stars and Stripes Forever ribs
 Our heart ached as we left that roebuck but We struggled on to the beach where boon companions awaited to help lift bedraggled corpse aboard ship Then in the morning, with those boon com panions, we went back and got roebuck.
 Today we believe could write excellent ad- vertsement for almost any old kind of linament but we also have been wondering why Longfellow didn't call his poetic hero What-A-Man Hiawatha Further more don't if they have closed the deer sea- We want roebucks-at least till next November.

Who Pays Taxes?
(New York Times


 The question of the percentage of indirect Federal and local actively debated the campaign with the usual result of generating heat and confusion than light But obviously the question of how taxes fall on various economic classes of the population deserves the most careful study.
 Arnold w. Lahee in article in The Annalist estimates that less than 35 per cent of the total tax burden of the nation in 1885 including Federal Gtate and local taxes was borne by the 22,00O,O00 families with incomes of less than S2,000 He places taxes that enter into the general cost of living for the nation as whole at 16 per cent of the cost of living
 He arrives at this result by first taking the total of Federal, State and local taxes in 1935-nearly 0o0OOO of which $3 600 GOO Federal and $6 4000 000 State and ocaland deducts from this total the Federal personal income capital stock dividend estate and gift taxes; State and local per sonal income personal property and inheritance taxes and all estimated taxes on pleasure automobile These deductions represent taxes exclusively the well-to-do. He then that the ratio of other taxes to expenditures is approximately the same for the twothirds of the population in the lower income brackets as for the nation. He makes the further assumption that indirect taxes, in which he includes taxes on business profits, are in effect, element cost of production and like other costs of produc ton, must be entirely covered in the price to the consumer
 It is clear that of these assumptions will be questioned. To treat the corporate income tax element in cost of production is economically unortho dox-though MT Lahee contends that profits are really compensation though highly irregular for definite services rendered and cannot be reduced without affecting prices. Errors in two of his assump lions, he believes, tend to cancel each other. It wrong to deduct all automobile taxes taxes the well-to-do because probably 45 per cent of the 22 450000 cars of the country in 1885 owned by families with incomes under $2000 But the other hand other indirect taxes would tend to bear in heavier ratio the wel-to-do because so many of them are on luXuries or semi-luXuries.
 What is greatly needed, if this country is to have a sound tax system is clear understanding among the voters of the actual incidence of direct indirect taxes, a clear knowledge of just how much taxes various income classes among our people really paying. This knowledge could be obtained best through unbiased and careful official study. One of the early tasks of this administration should be make and publish such study.

ALL'S NOT GOLD

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Nov. IT, California's multi million dollar na- vel orange crop starts moving to market in November, and with it moves a warning to perons of small means not to mistake the gold of oranges for the gold at the end of the rainbow.
 Each year when it gets chilly back east, Californians get inquiries from friends who think it would be nice to put their small savings in "a few acres of oranges" and lounge around in the sunshine for the rest of their lives.
 Quick to caution the 1886 hope fuls, the Pacific Coast Rural Press says: The record of the last five years shows an orange grower needs 20 acres to make a living of from $1 600 to $3000 net per year. As a general thing, the 5 to 10 acre ranch is not enough to keep a man busy or furnish a good living"

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. Should one push back his plate when he is through eating?
 A. Never; merely place the knife and fork on the plate, side by side, but do not move the plate.
 Q. If one cannot accept an invi- tation, is it permissible merely to write Regrets" on ones visiting card and send it?
 A. No; this would be rude. One should always write a brief note of regrets.
 Q. Following a church wedding in what order should the cars leave the church?
 A. The car of the bride and bride groom leaves first, then the brides maids, next the brides father and mother, then the grooms fa6ha1 and mother, then the nearest rela- tives, followed by other friends.

A Suggestion for Worried Executives
Business Week.

Along about the middle of November many an executive will suddenly say to himself: Well now the election is over I'm still worried I'm trying make up my mind about it's significance I'm worry ing in slightly different way than was the middle of October and my worrying then wasn't quite the same in September. About the middle of December and of January and of February I'll still be worrying but in different way each time.
 What for? Business is better and will keep on getting better. Why don't I snap out of it? Whats the matter with me?"
 And then, perhaps it will to him that he is unconsciously continuing his depression habits in q recovery period and that it is time he got back to normal And he may then highly resolve to do little more relaxing and little less worrying; take little more time for his family and for rest and play and even to renew the pleasurabe healthful and econo- mcal habit of a winter vacation.

Nine Days Away
(New York World-Telegram

After more than year of exploring of the strangeSt most inaccessible, leaSt-knoWn spots on earth the jungle of Borneo, MT and Mrs Martin John son have returned with strange stories It took them couple of months for the trip by local steamer to Singapore then skirtng the Maabar to Cape Town and across the Atlantic
 Only week before they arrived, on last Monday October l9 H. R. Ekins got in by air from his record setting trip around the globe for the WordTelegram Instead of two months from Borneo he made it in nine days, hopping off from there October 10.
 Just nine days from Broadway And there ac- cordng to the Johnson,s may find dryland fish toysters that grow in trees like apples lizards that sing like canaries and snakes that glide through the air Tall tales indeed from Borneo but films are here to confound the doubters.
 When it comes to incredible tales by travellers the English has been reversed since Marco Poo It isn't the bearer of strange testimony from the East who IS dsbeeved It is the one who goes back the East with tales of younger lands. The Marco Polo of the Johnson expedition we suspect is the native Borneo boy, Sedan now visiting New York with the explorers When he gets back among his family and neghbors who indeed will believe him?
 Especially who would believe him if he should tell of going back home by air. across the ocean and half way around the world in nine days? Factualy speaking, the boy will be going back 10000 years

"ALASKA'S SHARE OF AMERICA'S
 TOURIST TRADE"

Despite the fact that the strike is on it is certaii it will not last forever and right after the holiday the 1887 tourist season will be upon It isn't bi too early to give little thought to how may bolste it a little more from the Alaska end The Fairbank News-Miner commenting on "Alaska's Share of Am erca's Tourist Trade" makes an interesting poin when it says:
 In this final period of the year when east ing up of budgets for the coming year and planning of campaigns for the l937 better busi- ness drive is being started by everyone who scouts the prospects of the immediate future 1t is well that Alaskans keep weather eye peeled to get bigger share of the American tourist business
 Americans spend six billion dollars annu- ally touring the world seeing their won country Here is a line of business from which Alaska should annually carve greater share
 The State of Washington already does a thirty million dollar tourist business The chambers of commerce of that state already formulating plans to materially increase the business this year
 Of the tourist travel into the Pacific Northwest Alaska gets share. but nothing compared to what she eventually will get and what she may derive in the future if she goes carefully about the task
 Facilities for handling tourists, both on transportation lines and in cities are problems which confront Alaskans. It cannot be ex- pected that Alaskans can immediately take of hordes of tourists such as go to Eu- rope, but she can gradually develop along these lines The money tourists bring into a country is found money. It is estimated each tourist spends ten to fifteen dollars daily on a trip. The funds percolate into all channels of trade.
 Hundreds of thousands if not millions, of Americans who have gone to Europe annually are going to avoid that strife-ridden and war torn realm next summer. More of them will turn to American wonderland attractions-and of these Alaska. with her rare northern charms is sure to take on greater lure. The con-
