THANKED FOR
COOPERATION
BY TAX ASSN.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY
ASSESSORS ORGANIZATION
OF FLORIDA FOR ASSIST
ANcE OF OFFICIALS

TALLAHASSEE, May 20
(FNS)-Governor Fred P. Cone
and State Auditor w. M. VAIN
wright were notified last week
that the executive committee of
the Tax Assessors Association of
Florida had unanimously passed
a resolution thanking them for
the splendid cooperation they
were giving the tax assessors OF
the state in furnishing informa-
ton that is very vital in building
the intangible tax rolls of the sew
eral counties. thereby making it
possible for the state to benefit
in a substantial way through the
operation of the Florida Intangi-
BILE Tax Law.
The resolution further request
ed that information covering
federal income tax reports of
1887 be furnished TO the tax as
SCISSORS as soon sa3 possible in or
der that the assessors might have
this information on hand in time
to enable them to secure proper
intangible returns for the 1898
and subsequent years.
A second resolution passed by
the executive committee request
ed Auditor Wainwright to check
the intangible tax returns in all
counties OF the state to determine
whether a so percent valuation
basis was being uniformly used
over the state.
The drivS to bring hidden in
tangible property to light was
started last year by Governor
Cone when he secured from the
Federal Government the right TO
inspect income tax returns. AS
the results Of this drive State
Auditor Wainwright estimated
that stocks. bonds and other inr
tangible property owned in The
state amounted TO S2.l76, 000. 300,
although the total assessed value
or infangibles last year amount
cd to only SAFE. 0o0. 900. >
Practically every. state has an
intankilvfr-tax. and Florida x=rste
Is considerably lower than that
used In most Of them.
II is estimated that collections
from this source will increase
nearly . million dollars this year,

AS always in every hotly-con-
tested election, a great deal of
bitter feeling was engendered,
and campaign dodgers and news
paper advertisements were quite
strong in their expressions.
One good point on the election
of Pat Cannon is that upstate
politicians will realize more and
more that Key West has biz. mo-
bile vote, and that il is to be Wig
orausly solicited. Part of this So
licitation will necessarily come
with approving many government
and state projects for the city and
county. and there win be much

SANTA CLAUS WILL
 DRIVE REAL LIVE
 REINDEER TO NOME

Nome is one of the very few places in the world where Santa Claus can drive into town with as many live reindeer, hitched to his sled, as it is possible for him to handle Thousands and thou sands of reindeer feed on the kitchens which grow abundantly on the tundra around Nome and outlying sections, and each year specially picked deer are singled out of the immense herds and trained to harness and taught to pull a sled. Many live reindeer are shipped to the States each year for the use of Santa Claus when he appears at Department Stores in the various cities.
 Natives are now busy selecting and training the best and finest reindeer from the big herd now in the vicinity of Nome. In or dcr to accomplish this, several days of rounding Up the herd is necessary, much time is ued in selecting Santa Claus deer-be cause he demands the best and n of 4I oil
 Much trouble has occurred in the past by thoughtless owners of dogs, who have allowed their dogs to remain united on the day Santa Claus and his reindeer drive thru the streets of Nome, to pay a visit to the children of the city. This year the city offic- ials have given notice to the pub lie (See notice in today's issue), that all loose dogs seen or found on Thursday, Dec. 22nd, the date fixed for the Community Christ mas Tree Program, will be SHOT on sight. So if you have a pet or a dog team of dogs that you value, you are requested to ass iSt and help make it possible to keep the dogs tied up, so that this unique feature of Sant Claus driving real live deer to visit you and your children will be an annual event

A Salute To Alaska's Pioneers
(Contirued From Page One)

speak of what they know.
 United together in common fellowship of rich experience, the Pioneers are looked to, thru out Alaska, for the benefit Of their judgement and experience acquired by long years of ser vice to the Territory. The Pio- neer's judgement is not warped by undue pride of self, neither is it rooted in the dead issues of the past nor colored by pre- judices. They do not believe that the wheels of progress should be stopped by the dead hand of un- thinking tradition. Change is not necessarily progress, but ability and willingness to grow are es- sential to it. The Pioneers hold fast to the best of the past, con- teanplating the future with an open mind, seeking what is to come with their usual understand ing and enthusiasm.
 One of the many qualities that makes the Pioneers of Alaska great is their constant and un- bounded enthusiasm. No organ ization can transcend a lack of enthusiasm in it's membership. for there is no substitute for en- thusiasm-neither is there a sub stitute for wisdom.
 When we reflect upon the countless blessings that are ours today, when We consider the benefits that have come to us largely through the efforts of AL
