Opposes Raise In Motor Taxes

Mike Holm Secretary of State, emphaticaIly op-
poses any raise in motor vehicle taxes to produce ad
ditonal revenue for state highways in his report to
the legislature. The amount for roads in the
state during the past year about SAL IA 2S
and in view of the fact that trunk highway sys-
tenn is more than rs percent complete, he believes
that the sum is as large tax load motorists
should be expected to bear under existing circum-
stances He gave his reasons against an increase
the fact that we have not yet recovered from the
depression; that the purchasing power of the people
in general has not materially improved; and that the
prospects that the demands for relief will even
increase for the coming year. and perhaps longer.

increasing obligations and then asks rs 1t not log

likewise inclined government expense would not rise
to heights and could even be cut to relieve the
burden of taxation.

1t is explained that in computing a
farmers payment, his prorata share of
the expense of administering the pro-
gram in his county will be deducted
from the gross amount. A factor in
the decision to pay the maximum rate
was the unusual character of local ad-
ministrative expenses which this year
are deductable from payments to far
mers. Local expenses during recent
months have included considerable
amount of aerial mapping work which
will be used in administering the pro-
gram in future years. 1t is partially to
offset these extra expenses that the
maximum rates will be paid.
Conservation Program For 1888 Is

Given Formal Approval

Formal approval of the conserva-

the Secretary of Agriculture on Octo-
Der rs. In the main, it conforms to the
tentative outline announced late in
September.
Among the changes is definite pro-
vision for a potato goal.
Goals will be established only on
commercial potato farms which grow
three acres or more of potatoes. In the
early potato producing areas, 6 cents
per bushel will be paid on the normal
yield of each acre in farms potato
goal. A payment of A cents per bushel
will be made in the late potato pro-
ducing areas. The national goal for
potato acreage is between 100000
and 100000 acres, which is near
the average acreage of 3,346,000 for
the ten years-1928-1937.

WAYS TO WARD OFF THE
BETWEEN-SEASON COLDS
Suggestions Given By DR.. Riley,
Director of Health Department

Here are some suggestions from
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, as to ways Of
warding off between-season colds.
Number One-Keep comfortably
warm. Avoid sudden chilling. Dress
according to the weather, don't bother
about the calender. When the cold
chilly days come, don't feel that you
are coddling yourself when you wear a
sweater or a top coat or a warm
comfortable wrap. If you are caught
in a drenching rain, change as soon as
possible to warm, dry clothes and dry
shoes and stockings. If you are q
householder, don't wait until freezing
weather comes to start your fires
Keep your rooms at moderate tenn
perature.
Number Two-Eat nourishing food
Avoid rich mixtures. Eat your meals
at regular hours. Include milk or other
dairy products and plenty of fruit in
your diet. Don't forget to dring sew
eral glasses of water every day.
Number Three-Don't go where
people are coughing and sneezing.
Number Four-If-in spite of all
reasonable precautions - you find
yourself coming down with a cold,
don't fight it. Give in to it. Go to bed,
eat lightly, drink plenty of water, and
stay in bed until you are sure you are
better, or until your doctor says you
may get up. Don't wait until you are
seriously ill to send for your doctor.
Send for him promptly, follow his ad-
vice and you will be less likely to have
unfavorable after-effects than you will
if you let your cold drag on.
Number Five-If you develop cold
be as considerable of your neighbor as
you would like him to be of you. Don't
cough or sneeze in your neighbours
face. Keep your sneezes and coughs
to yourself. Don't broadcast your
germs. Keep yourself well supplied
with soft paper handkerchiefs and de-
stroy them after you have used them.
Don't go visiting until you are no lon
ger a menace to others.
Number Six-Most important of all.
Keep yourself fit. Don't burn the can
die at both ends. Strike balance be-
tween work and play. Don't be afraid
of fresh air. Take a brisk walk or have
some other exercise out of doors every
day. Give yourself plenty of time for
sleep.
