SCIENCE TINTS MOSQUITOES

The cruising range of mosquitoes has become a
matter of scientific Investigation. Last year the
sanitary engineer in a district near Chicago spray
ed the pests in test swamp with green aniline
dye 1t was estimated that one million mosquitoes
received the coloring and the observations that fol-
lowed were considered of sufficient Importance to
make the test on a broader scale this year. Four
marshes will be sprayed each with different ami
line TINT green, red yellow, and purple. Inspec-
tors will be the lookout for these gaily colored
insects to discover how far they fly from their ma
tive haunts to torture human beings. The expert
ment last year indicated that one mile was far
as mosquitoes go adventurng.
Spartanburg officials and residents need not wait
for final reports on the Chicago investigation. They
know that one water container of small proper
tionS can hatch enough mosquitoes to torture the
people on several city blocks A clogged gutter. a
tire can broken bottle an old automobile tire, a
fruit jar can hold sufficient stagnant water to
breed enough of the pests to make life miserable
for hundreds of persons. That being true it is time
to start claen-up campaign on residential and va
cant property, to eliminate these breeding places
When rains fall shall have our first infestaton

gin now to prevent a scourge, and a word to the

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TAXING AUTOMOBILES

The State Supreme Court has held that the STU
sales tax applies on cars bought outside the state
as we'll as on cars bought within the state
One. w. A. Powell of Rockingham county, bought
ear in another state, brought it to North Caro-
lima for his personal use and was charged the $40
tax when he applied for registration papers he
maid the tax under protest and filed suit against
the revenue department to test the law
In handing down the opinion, Associate Justice
Michael Schenck wrote that the "tax is neither an
ad vaorem tax nor sales tax upon eXtra-terri-
toria transactions but is excise tax or use taX
levied and collected for the privilege of operating
automobiles on the streets and highways of North
Carolina"
The North Carolina auto dealers no doubt re-
oce in this decision for it means that buyers can
NOT shop in other states for cars and come INTO
North Carolina and use her highways, without pay
mo the same taxes other owners pay. While 1t mas
been the practice to charge the tax on cars bought
outsde this is the first legal decision in the matter
Carolina dealers have just cause for complaint
AGAINST the tax applying on the same car that is
repeatedly sold. A second hand car traded for a
new one is subject to the value placed upon it and
not upon the difference paid. The law should be
changed so that the tax applied on the cars full
value but on the difference in the monetary value
between the two motors Under the present APP
pIication of the law, it works hardship both on
the dealer and the owner and it is possible for
car many times traded to draw a revenue higher
than its actual value.-Cleveland Star.

TAXES

# you would like to get more vivid idea of the
size of the tax dollar of the American people. a
good method would be to begin counting a billion
dollars-however, unless, you are rather young, it
would not be worth attempting. You would be
dead otherwise before the job was completed.
According to article in The Los Angeles
Times, it would take man week to count from
to 100000, working fairly steady. If he con-
tinued to count at the same rate he would reach
1,000,0OO,OOO in just 10 years and three months
And to count to 1000, OOO 900 would require over
21S years.
Well, $4,000 100000 is the sum that the Amer
lean people must fork out every year in taxes
and If some of our lawmakers have their way. it's
going to be substantially raised in the future We
pay twice as much for taxes as we do for clothing,
eighteen times as much for taxes as for domestic
light and power-S5OO, 100000 more for taxes than
Tor food The tax item dwarfs all the other items
in the family budget
Twelve billion dollars is more than you would
spend II you had lifetime of nineteen hundred
years-and spent SO every minute! And govern
ment IS putting out that sum every year, with in
creaSes just over the horizon Charlotte Observer

one day and got fired. He knocked
around for a considerable time in
an unsuccessful attempt to get

Spanish-American war came on

For thirty years Sam stayed in
the army. He received the usual
training, did what he was told,

picked up considerable informa-
tion-though he never got out Of
the ranks. Finally he was honor

While in the army Sam had done
one thing which was unusual-he
had saved his money. And before
he had got out of the army he
had made UP his mind what he was
going to do with that money. He
was going to buy a farm. He had
been reared on a farm. He knew
how to farm.
Sam went back home, bought a
rich iver-bottom farm and mar

ried a solid country woman who
needed a good home and knew
what to do with one.
Today Sam, whose brains used
to be laughed at by his associates,
is living happily and wholesomcly.
He is providing well for his fam
lily. He is educating his children
and he is receiving the respect
and friendship of his neighbors.
He is much better off than most
of, those who worked in the fac
tory with him and poked fun at
him. In fact he is better fixed to-
day than the member Of the firm
who discharged him.
What does the foregoing mar
ratNe teach? 1t teaches two
things: % That we do not need
a great amount Of sense to make
a success in this life. If we did
few Of us could succeed. (2) That
life in the United States army can
be the making of a fellow though
he never rise above the rank Of
private.
So if you have a dumbbell boy
do not get discouraged about him.
He may be the one to take care
Of you when you get old.
Perhaps you think the fOrego-

body's imagination. But it is not.

WE CAN'T IGNORE ISSUE OF SOIL
CONSERVATION
CBv BRUCE CATTON)

(By BRUCE CATTON)
We have become so used to having our
Government approach things Sidewlse, with
. crab-like. scuttling movement, that the
nious words about soil conservation IN the
marty platforms look like a cloak for crop
control.
The parties pledge themselves to take
eroded land out of production and restore
i, Remembering what the U. S. Supreme
Court said about the original AAA crop
control scheme. the ordinary citizen as
sumes that this talk of conservation IS just
another plan to do what the court said the
AAA could not do.
Probably it is, to a certain extent. But
anyone who doubts that the problem OF
soil conservation is very real and pressing
has only to look at a survey recently COM
pleted by the U. S. Soil Conservation Serv-
ice to learn that he is in error.
This survey reveals, for instance, that
no fewer than 735,O00,O00 acres of on
fertile farm land in the United States have
been from 25 to 100 per cent destroyed by
erosion. This is an area four times the size
of Texas, % times the size of New York
state; it represents one of the most titanic
losses of natural resources that any nation
ever suffered.
During the last century, the survey re-
ports, the country has suffered a direct
monetary loss by erosion of at least S1O,-
ho LODI
trpled within so years unless something
drastic is done.
Sixty-fYe per cent of the tillable land in
the great Piedmont section, reaching from
New Jersey to Alabama, has been stripped
of its topsoil by wind and rain.
Five hundred thousand acres that were
under cultivation in five coastal counties in
Alabama few years ago now are aban-
doned and worthless. Erosion is costing
Oklahoma S5O,OOO,O00 year.
Sheet erosion is menacing 100000
acres of Illinois intellectually rich, black
corn land. In the country as whole, more
than 50,000,000 acres have been so quilted
and eroded that they will never again be
SOOO 1OI any IIlIIlS'
1t would be possible to go on citing facts
like these for half an hour. Enough has
been said, however, to indicate that when
the Republicans and the Democrats talk
about soil conservation measures, they are
not just talking about a new way to reduce
agricultural production.
If we were living in the piping times
of complete prosperity, with no farm sur
plusess unemployment, or Unbalanced
budget to worry us, this thing that is hap
peningt to our soil would strike us as the
most serious problem of the century.
In our present condition, it is only one OF
many problems; but it is hardly an exag-
geratim to say that in the long run it will
probably prove the most important of all
Whichever party is put in power next
November, the campaign to save the great
est of our resources-the land-must be
prosecuted with all the determination that
would be given to campaign to repel an
invading enemy.
