| ASGN W4Ltl bLiS IlSSu 1OC IJlOCG ~ lands and wider opportunities for it's people, Great Britain hit upon a novel colonization scheme lust 100 years ago, strikingly analogous to Uncle Sam's Mata- nuska settlement in Alaska. Brit ain tried out this plan in South Australia.
 At time when it's land-grant system was proving fatal to eni- grafton in Australia, plan was evolved exchanging labor for land, and permitting purchase of lands for small sum.
 A tract of l6,000 acres was al.. lotted the first 100 families, while a loan of 200 pounds each was made, by way of orders on mer- chants, to enable the settlers to purchase necessary equipment.
 But the British went even a bit further. No money actually was used in the transactions. The earnings of the settlers and the value created by their labor was represented in the extent and in- provement of their lands, the irri- gation developed, the stock raised. and the general progress of the community. At the end of 13 years each settler was sufficiently well anchored to work independ- ently thereafter.
 So the great. South Australia country took it's place in the eeo- monies of the world 1908, 900 square miles, rich in gold, copper, agriculture. Today its 5oo,oo0 in- habitants thrive in many fields. The stamp below, issued in 1886, marked the centenary of South Australia.

BEES TRAINED SUCCESSFULLY

Moscow -(UP)- A school has been started at the Moscow Scien- tiflc Research Institute to teach bees to feed on only one kind of flower and thus improve the quail ity and quantity of their honey. By placing a quantity of the de- sired flower in the immediate vi- cinity of the hives the bees are soon accustomed to the smell of that flower and will feed on no oth- CT.

Deductions for business expens-
eS form large item in the return
of many taxpayers and must have
certain qualities to be allowed.
Such deduction must be for an ex-
penditure IN connection with the
maintenance and operation of the
taxpayers business or business
properties; it must be an ordi-
nary expense and it must be a
necessary expense. In insisting
upon the latter qualifications, the
Bureau of Internal Revenue is up
held by the Board of ak Appeals
and the courts. Ordinary and ne
cessary expenses are only those
which are usual and essential in
the case of similar taxpayers, land
do not include extraordinary and
nonessential expenses
Typical business expenses of a
m ercantile establishment are
amounts paid for advertising, hire
of clerks and other employees, rent,
light, heat. water, stationery,
stamps. telephone, property insur-
ance, and delivery expenses.
The expenses of manufactur-
ing business include labor, sup
plies, repairs, light and heat, pow
er, selling cost. administration,
and other similar charges.

Equalization Unit
Votes to Help in
Ending Gambling

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.-Endors-
ing policy instituted by Ray Edgar
in the fourth district of the Board
of Equalization a year ago. the
entire board, in conference with
Attorney General U. S. Webb this
week voted 10 cooperate with local
peace officers in stamping out gam
bling by revoking the liquor license
of any premises when peace officers
present to the board evidence that
gambling is being conducted.
Discussing the boards action Ed
gar said: There was much cri-
ticism in the fourth district year
ago when we announced that liquor
license would not be issued and
would be revoked for premises
where gambling is conducted.
This step was taken because it
is the boards duty to protect law
abiding citizens and it would be
contrary to public welfare and
DID " III
places holding liquor licenses. Gam
bling is not legal and a laW-enforc-
ing board could not be party to
Illegal acts.
Many who criticized the action a
year ago now admit it was a con-
structive step in providing better
regulation and control of the liquor
industry which is duty of the
board.
Il. is gratifying to know the at
torney general comedies with the
Interpretation of the law we made
a year ago and that the board will
cooperate with local officers in
stamping out the costly gambling
evil"

Farm Families Get
Aid Thru Federal
Loans, Says Garst

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. Hum
dreds of low-income California
farm families are being assisted in
their struggle TO regain economic
independence through loans made
to cooperative groups by the Re-
settlement Administration. Jona-
than Garst. regional director. re-
vealed today.
GarSt announced that s97, 900 has
been loaned to 16 cooperatives in
the state. Loans ranged from 5000
for purebred bulls for improvement
of herds, to several times that sum
for farm machinery. One loan.
$4,000, went to cooperative group
at Atascadero engaged in growing
and packing fruits and vegetables.
In most cases the cooperative
groups were composed of indiyid
uals who had received rural rehab-
ilitation loans for the purchase of
stock, equipment, seed. feed, etc.
I Cooperative loans. Garst pointed
out, are in line with the Resettle-
ment Administrations policy of ex-
tending financial aid to farmers
unable to borrow funds from any
other agency
While a majority of the coopera-
tives are comparatively new. pres
ent indications are that they will
repay the loans within the allotted
time with interest. Garst said.
Glenn county received the largest
number of loans. a total of seven,
The largest, 1892, went to the
Bayless Farm Machinery services.
The Guy Smith Spraying unit re.
ceived $3.50, the Glenn County Hav
Chopper $500 The four other loans
were for bull blocks.
A loan of S1e36 was made to the
Lund Farm Machinery unit of Wis.,
ALA in Tulare county. Two Orange
county groups received loans, the
Midway City Dairy association $3.50
and the Costa Mesa Tractor asso-
citation 5000.
In Santa Cruz county the Young
and Fidel Saw Mill cooperative bor-
rowed $500. The same amount
was borrowed by the Santa Cruz
Mountain Telephone company.
The Standish Tractor and Tillage
association of Lassen county bor-
rowed $3.50. A loan of $1,000 was
made to the Sawyer Farm Machin-
cry unit. of the Modesto areas in
Stanislaus county.

settlement Administration in this

Letter to Calipat
Resident Tells
OF Flood TerrOrs

Arthur Williams OF Calipatria re-
Gently received q letter from his
sister. Mrs. Herbert Weaver Rob-
srtson Of Henderson. Ky in which
She gave a detailed description Of
the conditions existing in the flood
ed areas.
She declares the present flood is
worse than the famous disaster OF
1884 and the greatest calamity the
country has experienced. AL schools
and churches are used as rescue
Headquarters TO provide shelter for
refugees. All vacant buildings also
are used for the same purpose.
Emergency hospitals for whites and
Negroes are packed with sufferers.
Every few hours a boat comes
in laden with refugees, most OF
whom are exhausted from anxiety
and exposure. It seems strange that
the beautiful Ohio now is our arch
enemy as well as our only COM
n,unication with the outside world,
Mrs. Robertson wrote.
The river is the scene of greater
activity than has been the case fer
years. Big river boats. coast guard
cutters. cupboard motor boats ano
small craft Of all kinds scurry about
under the direction of the Rec
Cross.
All milk and water must be pas
teurized, she said. and many of the
towns have difficulty in getting food
and in getting water.
There is so much suffering now
but sadder still is the heartbreaking
task before these unfortunates when /
the waters recede and they have to /
90 back empty handed and start /
all over again, the letter concluded.

Text of Davis Statement
U. S. Delegate at Brussels Declares Peace of Far
East Is Of Vital importance for World
as Well as China and Jabdn

The State Department Yesterday
made public the following text of the
statement by Norman H. Davis to the
Brussels conference:
I feel that this occasion calls for
some general observations. If We do
not from time to time pause in our
consideration of the particular. and
reiterate the principles that guide US
in their relation to the general, then
the impression may gain ground that
our policies have less depth or pur-
pose than Is in fact the case. We are
in this conference very much con-
cerned with peace in one important
area of the world-the Far East 1t is
of vital Importance that peace be re-
participants in the present conflict, but
for the world at large. The cost in
human misery is vast. and the mate
rial losses are heavy. But even greater
is the loss to world confidence and
the undermining of stability and Sc
curity, if the integrity of certain prin-
ciples which We hold sacred Is not pre-
served. Through 4 period of GEN.
turtles the world has developed q sys-
tenn of international law, which is the
basis of international morality and
conduct and which provides for fair
dealing among nations, just as private
relationships are based on codes of
fair dealing among individuals. When
observed, this gives 4 sense Of security
to nations, enables them to develop
their own civilization in their own
way, to choose the form Of government
they desire, and to know that they
are free to solve their internal prob
lens without the Intervention of out
side powers. This is essential for
orderly progress in the world.
Only Peaceful Change Legitimate.
International law has been written
into. and is based upon, a series of
international agreements and the cor
nerstone of progress is the observance
of undertakings solemnly given and
solemnly received between nations.
Change is possible-more than that,
it is often desirable-but is legitimate
only if carried out by peaceful meth
dds and by mutual agreement. The
question we are considering here, in
its final analysis, is whether interna-
tional relations shall be determined
by arbitrary force or by law and by
respect for international treaties. In
fact, that seems to be the greatest
issue that faces the world today and
is one of the most momentous prob
lens that mankind has been called
upon to solve AS President Roose-
welt expressed it the other day, ''those

who cherish their freedom and recog-
nize and respect the equal rights OF
their neighbors to be free and live IN
peace must work together for the
triumph of law and moral principles
in order that peace. justice and con-
f1dence may prevail in the world
II the conception of change by vio-
lence should prevail we should be
faced by international anarchy; only
tho concept Of respect for law and
treaty will give us a world that is
secure and wherein good will and con-
fidence can exist and observance oil
the pledged word Is the one i'm
mutable foundation on which the
structure OF world peace can be built
And If. today, have reiterated thi.
in simple language it is to emphasize
the conviction which Is ours that or
no other basis can an equitable anc
lasting solution of the Sine Japanese
conflict be found and in no other wa,
can 4 just peace be re-estab lished anc
be maintained in the Far East.
To come to the specific problem with
which we are here Immediately con.
cerned: Japan was invited to attene
the conference, where we would hav,
welcomed from her full explanation
of her side of the case as to the Incl
dents which led to the outbreak O
hoStilities as we'll as the underlyin,
causes Of the conflict. She declined

Of the letter and spirit Of treaties to
which she voluntarily put her name,
from the standpoint of her material
self-interest, from the standpoint Of
world peace and progress and inter-
national good will, it would seem that
there are compelling reasons why ia

way clear to doing 80.
