Our Natural Resources

There is widespread revival of interest in the sub
Ject OF conservation of natural resources. 1t is en-
phasized by the dust-StOrms and floods, which are
probably attributable in some degree to the reckless
ness of humanity Doubtless the blowing under of the
buffalo grass in parts of the Great Plains has con-
trbuted to the erosion of the soil by wind while the
cutting off of the virgin forests probably has had
effect in making it easier for rain to wash away
the fertile soil and to flow unchecked into flooding
rivers
Any program of conservation to be effective, must
go below the surface There is serious talk of repos
session by the State Of Pennsylvania of the anthracite
coal mines whose owners say they cannot operate
them profitablv but which are being mined by "boot-
leooers' who have no legal RIGHT to the coal Some
such talk is heard abort oil resources believed bv
some to be in danger Of exhaustion
The time may come when the whole question of who
actually the natural resources of the nation will
have to be reviewed. One of the grievances Of the
New England colonists against the British which re-
suited in the Revolution was the British contention
that all forests Crown property, and colonist
might cut timber fit for frames masts and planks of
the Royal Navy without permission from the govern
ment,
If that principal carried to it's logical concla-
sion, then all of the timber and mineral wealth Of the
nation would be Government property, to be extract
ed only by Government permission and under Govern
ment regulation. Prhaps that might work out we'll,
but more probably it would work about as badly as
did the system under which the Government owned
lands of the West were given to anyone who would
comply with simple and easy regulations.
There is no doubt that much of our natural wealth
has been depleted and can never be restored. More

VACANCIES IN

Postmaster Emory D. Miller has
received announcement from Lieut..

Los Angeles, California, that a num-
ber of vacarcies for service in the
United States Marine Corps are still
open to qualified men.
Service with the Marines has a
special appeal to nearly every young
man because of the unusual oppor-
tunities it offers for adventure. ira
vel and education. Whether serving
ashore in far off China or other for
eign stations, or serving with the
Naval forces at sea, every marine is
encouraged to take advantage of the
extensive educational courses offer
ed free by the Marine Corps Insti-
tute, the only school of it's kind in
the world.

NEW AUTO TAX
LAW EXPLAINED

Covering all motor vehicles,
pleasure cars, business cars, trucks,
trailers and semi-trailers, the new
lieu tax" bill provides the owner
shall pay, annually, at the time Of
application for registration, a tax
equal to So on each $100 valuation
for cars owned outside incorporated
cities and towns and 81 on each $100
of valuation for cars owned within
incorporated cities or towns.
A minimum value of 500 on all
motor vehicles used is provided in
the law and none may be depreci-
ated in value below this figure.
That is, no motor vehicle can de-
preciate below the taxable basis.
Another provision of the new
law is that no more owners may
charge their motor vehicle taxes
to their real estate and other per-
sonal property tax bills. All motor
vehicle taxes must be paid at the
time the annual registration of the
car is obtained.
From this time on, motor We
hicle taxes will be computed as OF
the time of year vehicle is first
registered. For example, a vehicle
registered in January is taxed for
the full 12-month period. A ve-
hicle registered in July will be tax
ed only for 6-12th of the current
tax year.
Under the new law, the tax is
computed as follows:
The assessor will take the 'prima
facie" value of the car. Assuming a
new 1887 car, this value is the
manufactures list price. Assuming
the list price is $4,000. For the first
and current year of computing tax
es, 60 per cent of this prima facie
value is taken, or $1,000. This is the
assessed value of the car for its
first taxable year. If the car is
owned within the city, for example,
it is taxed at a rate of 81 per $1OO
of valuation, or $48.
The second year Of the life of the
car, this base valuation is depre-
ciated under the new law IS per
cent, bringing it's second year val
uation to 5000, and its tax, at $4
per $10O valuation, to $36; third
year. depreciates it another $500
(peculiar in the law is the mandate
that the initial Is per cent annual
depreciation figure shall be applied
each succeeding year, to an asses
sed value of 5000, and tax is paid
of $24; the fourth year, after taking
another $500 off, the $500 valuation
remaining. at 81 per $100 of val
uation, yields tax of $12.

g Question:

With Fancywork-Before start
ing to draw the threads on linen
for hemstitching, wet small
brush, rub it over bar of soap
until lather is produced, scrub
the threads of linen that you wish
to draw, and they will pull out
easily.
Washing WindOws-Add a little
starch to the water used for wash
ing windows. 1t not only helps re-
move the dirt, but gives a lasting
polish.
Removing Mustard Stains -
Mustard stains can be removed
from table linen by washing in hot
water and soap and rinsing in
warm water.
Hanging Pictures-Never allow
picture frames to touch the wall
if it is damp. The frame will soon
become damaged. With a small
tack or gramophone needle, at
tach two small corks at the bot
tom of your frame. These will
keep the frame off the wall.
Beef Juice-To make beef juice
add l pound of fresh, raw, finely
chopped round steak without fat
to 6 ounces of cold water. Add a
pinch of salt, put the beef and wa
ter in glass jar and stand it on
ice, over night. Shake and strain
it through coarse muslin, squeez-
ing hard to obtain all the juice.
Butter Layer Cake-When rasp-
berry jam that is not of firm con-
sistency is to be used for filling a
sponge sandwich cake it is ad-
visable to butter the inner surface
of each layer before spreading it
with jam. This will prevent the
moisture from soaking into the
cake and making it sodden.
Outer Leaves of Lettuce-The
outer leaves of lettuce, often
trimmed off and thrown away, are
more than 80 times as rich in
vitamin A as the inside leaves.

N/ HO, DeSlQeS tne writer, can re"

their jubilation rallies the night be-

Republicans the night after the re-
turns were in, when they had some
thing to jubilate over? Now the sit
uation is just the other way around.
The Literary Digest poll was prac-
tically the only thing the Republi-
cans had to celebrate during the en-
tire fall season of 1886.

English Recruiting.
THE English are still having
L trouble inducing young fellows
to join the colors. First, the gov

ments by giving every recruit gid
dy new blue uniform, absolutely free
of charge, and still the lads re-
fused. So now, as an appeal which,
tits believed, no true Britisher can
Withstand, the military authorities
announce that, hereafter, Tommy
Atkins will have time off for after
noon tea.
This may be a new notion for
peacetime, but, during the great
war, the custom was maintained
even up at the front. Many time
I've seen all ranks, from the briga-
diers on down, knocking off for tea.
However, this didn't initiate
against his majesty's forces, be-
cause, at the same hour, the Ger
mans, over on their side of the line,
were having coffee-or what the
Germans mistake for coffee. And
the French took advantage of the
lull to catch up with their bookkeep-
ing on what the allies owed them
for damage to property, ground
rent, use of trenches, billeting
space, wear and tear, etc., etc.
Did it ever occur to our own gen.
eral staff that guaranteeing daily

late volunteering for the American

The Job of Censorship.
n NE reason why moving pictures
~ are so clean is because some
of the people who censor them have
such dirty minds. To the very
pure everything is so impure, is it
not? That's why some of us think
the weight of popular opinion, rath-
er than the judgment of narrow
Drained official judges in various
states, should decide what should
and what should not be depicted.
Anyhow, there are so many movies
which, slightly amending the old
ballad, are more to be pitied than
censored.
Sponsors of radio programs also
lean over backward to be prudishly
proper. But without let or hindrance
the speaking stage, month by
month, grows fouler and filthier.
Suggestive lines once created a
shock in the audience mind. The
lines no longer suggest-they come
right out and speak the nastiness.
Sauce for the goose isn't sauce for
the gander, 'twould seem-or may
be, after the reformers got through
saucing radio and screen, there
wasn't any left over for the So
called legitimate stage.
