and of $32 loss, 842 the second wear fo,
the state Highway and Public Works
| commission, including Federal Aid
allowance of $4,734,961 year or of
! approximately $27,000,0OO a year with
| out the inclusion of Federal aid. The
| appropriations from the highway fund
are estimated as amounting to S28.-

| The Advisory Budget Commission
| over the objection of former Gov. j.
| G. B. Ehringhaus as Director of the
| Budget, goes on record as favoring
| the practice of levying the sales tax
| against the revenues of the highway
| fund and the compulsory diversion
| of $2,100,000 year from the highway
| fund to the general fund instead of
the $1,000,000 a year which has been
diverted for the past four years. Ac-
cording to the inaugural address of
Governor Clyde R. Hoey, he opposed
any further diversion of highway
funds, except that he approved the
principle Of applying the sales tax to
highway revenue collections. AS a re-
suit, Governor Hoey gave his approval
!
money fro mthe highway to the gen
eral fund as has ever been diverted
before.
The more important new recon-
mendations contained in the report of
the budget commission as submitted
today call for:

insurance policies and all funds held
in the hands of fiduciaries as of jan
uary 1, 1888, and each succeeding
year, are taxed twenty-five cents per

surance companies or fiduciaries hold
ing the funds.
1t is provided that these taxes may
be charged by the companies and fl
duciaries against the funds held in

$24 1896 367 for the year 1898 and
S24. 9S6 100 for the year 1889. The
request made by State Superintendent
of Public instruction Clyde A. Erwin
for the public schools for these two
years was $26,625,743 the first year
and S27, 269,018 the second. The ap-
preparation as recommended by the
budget commission is sufficient to
give the teachers a 10 per cent in
crease in salaries and to take care
of other necessary increases, includ-
ing school bus requirements. The ap-
preparation requested by the school
forces would have provided for 20
per cent increase in salaries.

IMP PROVEMENT
 DEMANDED IN
 SALMON PACK

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Further material improvement must be made in the handling of salmon before satisfactory packs may be expect ed, according to the statement of w. G. Campbell, chief of the food and Drug administration, in his an- nual report to Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace.
 Notwithstanding material inn provement, the number of cases ta- ken for action is still entirely too high," he states. While certain areas suffered unusually hot wealth Ter during the past year, this by no means accounts for all of the de- composition found"
 Campbell stated that 1851 samples of packed salmon were examed dur ing the past year, of which 94 con- signments were seized.
 The bulk of the industry oper- ates in Alaska at points which can be visited rarely because of the short season, remoteness of the can neries and various physical diff culties," he states. "Too often em- phasis is placed upon speed rather than upon care in packing the pro- duct"
 Campbell added that because vir- tually all Alaskan pack arrives un- labeled, the task of administration by inspectors becomes complicated, since bad lots become mixed with the good lots of other canneries.

 Tn three against Will Hams, Army and Pennsylvania" he points out, 'Luckman found re- ceivers for 30 of 55 attempted pass es for a total gain of 439 yards. He tossed two touchdown passes against Army and repeated the per- formance against Penn Eighteen of his passes found their mark in the Army game for POP yards. Five of the seven losses he made against Penn were completed for 117 yards, | Pitching like that should entitle Linn to a place on the team even if he had nothing more,
 But Lucl.man's usefulness doesn't | stop there. He can carry the ball with the best. He showed that against Army when he took a kick l off on his own 20-yard line and raced through the entire Cadet team to score. And again, against Penn ] when he took the ball over the ! goal, gained 6G yards from scrim- | mage and picked up 7S yards on punt run-backs and one interception of a Penn forward pass
 Doesn't that convince you that Luckman springs from the m ol d from which all Americans are made?
 It is all very impressive. But three games hardly make a season. You do have to admit that if Sid Luckman carries on at the same blazing pace it is going to be very difficult to keep him off the honor roll

A night of terror, of flames leap

gave way today to the darkest
dawn in all the history of once

80 of the 40 square miles of the city
proper.

of $790,000,000 for relief purposes, all
