URGES PARTIAL
 USE OF LIQUOR TAX FOR DRUNKS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.-Di- version of part of the State liquor tax to provide treatment for hab- itual drunkards is the idea of Dr. J. c. Geiger, city health director
 City treatment is widely discussed here, as result of revelations that in the first II months of 1887 there were 7,549 men and 1859 women admitted to emergency hospitals who were listed as drunk at the time.
 Carrying his idea a bit farther, Dr. Geiger suggested that part Of the gasoline tax be used to treat indigent persons injured in auto accidents.

New Deal Trust
 Busting; What Is
 Meaning of Move ?
Continued from Page One)
The Argument


 The reason the government is going into action just now is that high prices iii basic industries are being blamed for soaring investors out, and the building industry has failed to take it's rightful place at the head of the recovery parade.
 All the companies deny, of course, that they are violating the laws that have been passed to assure compe- tition in American business. The companies insist they are interested first in giving more or better quail ] ity and service to the public They believe they cannot do this unless they get together and prescribe fair trade practices or arrange to avoid the vast waste of olt-throat com petition.
 The governments chief trust buster is hard-hitting Robert H. Jackson. erstwhile small-town law yer from Jamestown, N Y His boss is Attorney General Homer s. Cum mings.
 Both argue, however that the federal rules of the business game are obsolete, a patchwork, push ever for fast-thinking corporation lawyers.
 These rules are:
 | The Sherman antitrust law of 1890.
 2. The Clayton antitrust act of 1914.
 3. The Federal Trade Commis- sion act of 1914
 4. The Robinson-Patman law of 1o55 to protect small business men from chain competition.
 Jackson says the rub is that all of these laws tell business vaguely what it cannot do and that courts have a tough time Interpreting them.
 Hence the complaint of Myron H. Taylor, until recently the head of United States Steel, that business can't figure out what the govern ment will prohibit next: that busi ness wants to know what it can do in the way of planning for the future.
 The answer?

THE napkins and mats are
1 fringed and then whipped to
keep them from travelling and to
strengthen the edge. This is
very quick and easy finish to use
for linens of the coarser weaves
and is in harmony with peasant
dishes and provincial furniture.
In cutting the material for the
mats and napkins it is best to pull
a thread to guide you SO that the
edges will be perfectly straight
and fringe easily. Cut right along
the little opening made in the ma
terial by drawing the thread as
shown at A. Plan the size of the
mats and napkins so that the ma
terial will cut to good advantage
and the stripes will arrange them
selves in a pleasing way through
the center of each piece. Napkins
for this purpose may be as small
as nine inches square. Mats are
usually about eleven by eighteen
inches.
Pull out the threads to make the
fringe at the edge as l have shown
here at B. From a half to three
quarters of an inch is good depth
for the fringe. Save the threads
you pull out and use them for
whipping the edge as have shown

He was happy after that game,
all right. Only one thing bothered
him. His mother had to watch the
game from behind a pillar high in
the stands. She had been invited
to sit in box as the guest of Mayor
Kelly. When she got to the stadium,
she approached the reserved gate.

she announced diffidently, land I'm
to sit in the mayors box" An
usher looked at her and was unim-
pressed. II don't care if you're
Shirley Temple or Queen Eliz-
abeth," he said. Seats are all
gone"
Somehow she managed to get in
another gate and was swirled by the
crowd high up into the stands. Even
tually she was pushed behind a pill
lar. Only by craning her neck
could she see her son occasionally
as he galloped off to long run.
The next test came with Jackson,
Tenn, played at Memphis, which
the coaches said, settled the nation
al championship. Against a strong
and rugged team he scored the win
ming touchdown.
Now Bill is receiving feelers from
scores of colleges, chances to talk
on the radio, go to Hollywood and
what not. You can envy Bill De
Correvont or not as you please.
Remember he's on the spot but re-
member, also, that he knows how to
take it when the going is tough.

DELINQUENT TAX Law SHOULD
BE RE.ENACTED
(PorterviIIe RecOrder)

"A bill has been introduced into the Legisla-
ture at Sacramento providing for extending
until April 20, 1888, the so-called moratorium
on delinquent taxes. A measure of this kind
was first enacted in this state by the 1888
Legislature and has been reenacted since. This
legislation has been of untold benefit to the
distressed taxpayerssof the state 1t is credi-
ted With influencing the payment of millions
Of dollars of delinquent taxes which otherwise
would not have been paid. Under this legisla-
ton many despairing taxpayers have been in
spired to take up their tax payments where
they had abandoned hope of saving their prop
er.y against final tax sales for delinquency.
The encouragement thus engendered is OF in
calculable value.
This measure provides that delinquent taxes,
no matter how long delinquent may be paid
in 10 annual installments with simple interest
at per cent. All back delinquencies are reduced
to one years interest at per cent SO long
as the taxpayer pays his one-tenth ipstallment
annually. plus the taxes for the seurrent year,
he can carry on and gradually redePm his prop
erty from the delinquent tax charges against 1t.
Proponents of this measure argue that 1t
should be continued at least another year, as a
measure of relief to many owners Of property
who are delinquent In their taxes but who could
carry on under plan Of this kind.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
RooseveIts Followers Met Test NobIy, Too

All of which is just another way
of saying that neither Mr.. Roose-
velt nor any other president can
do it all. In the long run, the way
we solve the tremendous problems
of the twentieth century will de-
pend on the good sense and the
good will of the average man. And
the encouraging thing today is the
way in which the average man has
met the test of the last four years.
Let's go back to March 4, 1888.
Mr.. Roosevelt took charge OF ma
ton that was out on its feet 1t
had been gypped and misled and
taken up dark alleys; many OF its
factories and all its banks were
closed, and its leading citizens were
afraid to walk past cemeteries late
at night.
Here, if there ever was one, was
a country ripe for chasing after
false gods. And the false gods were
on the scene, too, begging to be
chased-the Huey Longs. the Faith
er Coughlins, the Doc Townsends,
and the Gerald K. Smiths, flanked
by the deaths head hussars of the
Liberty League.
F., But the country somehow kept
its head. It listened to all these
people, trailed along for a while,
and then let them go their way
alone. And in the end the tre-
mendous vote rolled up for Mr..
Roosevelt last year was simply the
country's vote of confidence in
itself. ff8s8a & .A
And if we have recovered our
confidence, dispelled the shadows,
and climbed out of the valley of
the depression don't forget that it
was pretty largely the doing of the
ordinary American.

of person who can breed good Lead

SWUDGE POTS FOR
VALLEY FARMS

Record low temperatures of the last
seven DAYS have proved to observers in
imperial Valley the need in many places
for equipment to overcome frost damage
to crops. Some farms are protected at
the present time by smudging equip
ment. but the majority have never in
vested in such equipment because 1t
is seldom needed. Damage in excess OF
q million dollars to valley crops proves
beyond doubt that, although the equip
ment may be needed only two or three
nights in the year, the need is great
when it does exist. :.
Imperial Valley is fortunate in its eli
mate a climate which has made It
amonq the richest agricultural sections
in the world Only now and then does
the climate go back on its reputation
hut now and then is too often, If there
;s no provision to overcome the danger
of frost. The federal government MAIN
tains frost predicting service for the
express purpose of protecting crops.
Unless the farmers are equipped TO
make use of valuable information tnat
! frost is en- route, the service here Is
useless. IL,

able feature. They should be fully pro-

them.
