In the Southern Pacific Bulletin for March 1889 the
following facts pertaining to taxes were given:
For 500 which the railroads received the
public for the transportation of passengers freight
and mails and for all other services they paid the
lectors 1888 in 1917 S613 in 1927 1882 in 1887 and
1898 in the first nine months of 1888.
In 1917 the railroads worked 10 days to earn enough
revenues to pay taxes In 1927 they 20 days
pay taxes In 1887 they worked 20 days to pay taxes
For every dollar the railroads paid owners in
dividends they paid 67 taxes in 1917 81 cents in
1927 and 81 "a in 1887.
For every carload of freight loaded railroads paid
out $500 in taxes in 1918 $72s in 1927; 1857 1887
and $11. so in the first nine months of 1888.
For every person employed, the railroads paid out
$12345 in taxes in 1917 $216.77 in 1927; $29216
1897.
Every second, the railways of the United States pay
$1O3S in taxes to national state and local
In 1897 the railroads paid taxes equal to three
quarters of the total passenger fares
The railroads pay SOL 900 900 in school each
year-enough to educate 5000 children annually.
Nearly 10c of every dollar from railroad ticket goes
for taxes.
If the railroads hauled ton of freight from here to
the sun at rates. the income would pay rail
road tax bill for about day.
Taxes paid by u S. railroads amounted to more than
the Federal income taxes of all persons living in Wscon-
sn Illinois, Indiana, and all states west of the Mississippi
River.
1t is time for the tax payers, to realize that
are the who eventually must pay All passed

Golfers of the State National Treasury are still in
sufficient to meet the demands made them. State
Governments considering many forms of licenses
and taxes to help pay for Social advantages
Taxes have reached the stage where they have be-
come real menace It to everyone of to become
tax conscious and to that legislatures look the
side of to balance the budget instead digging

have in force already.

Watch Those
"In-Between" Days

Believe it or not, more automobile
accidents occur in good weather
than in bad.
The reason, says the National
Conservation Bureau, accident pre-
vention department of the Associa'
ton of Casualty and. Surety Elk
ecutives, is that drivers are keenly
alert when rain, snow or sleet
make roads hazardous; but they
"let down" when it clears.
To be more vigilant when there
is ice on the road, or rain, snow
or sleet pelts the windshield, is
the right attitude for accident-free
driving; hazards are intensified by
abnormal climatic conditions, and
all for extreme care. But it il
equally dangerous to "let co. too
much when weather hazards are
absent.
To "let down" IS good, but the
business side of a steering wheel
is never the best place to practice
it, say the National Conservation
Bureaus safety experts. Drive re-
Taxed and without strain, but alert
and with your car always under
absolute control.

Citrus Brown Rot:
Methods for controlling citrus

the February IS number of the Pa

Steam Spraying:
Steam cheaply generated may
work a change in spraying and dis
infection methods. Spray driven on
trees by means of steam appears to
be broken into finer particles which
makes for efficiency in killing
parasites. In a California test, ap-

blades of a disc, were conducted
in an attempt to kill wire worms,
weed seeds, and similar pests.
Insect Destroying Fungus:
Another fungus which kills the
corn borer has been described. This
fungus is Spicaria heliothis. The
fungus threads Of this species fill
the body Of the pupa of the corn
borer and form a sheath around it.
Collections of the fungus were
made in Virginia, New Jersey and
Illinois where the corn borer was
found to be dying.
Lettuce ScIeretinose:
Some fields of lettuce in the
Salt River valley, which are bal
infested with sclerotinose fungus,
have been disked or plowed after
harvest. which should greatly in
crease the fungus resting bodies
and make conditions worse fer
future lettuce crops.
WiIt-Rssistant Watermelon:
Cook and nugget have announced
another new commercial variety OF
watermelon that is wilt-resistant.
Planted in heavily contaminated
soil. this new watermelon showed
1873 seeding wilt against TAB per
cent for the Tom Watson variety.
The fruits averaged 35 pounds in
weight when grown commercially.
Their total sugars averaged 81 per
cent. Their shape was oblong and
their color greenish-gray, with fine
dark green veins. Their rind was
three-fourths to one inch thick and
very tough. They had pink to red,
tender flesh, from white heart. The
new watermelon is called Halves

TAXATION

Now that we have finished sending in our tax blanks
we are inclined sit back and be thankful that we won't

Director Can't Ride
Unless Tied Down

Director Bernard Vorhaus is an
extremely capable and efficient
young movie maker, but during the
shooting of Bob Breen's new picture,
Way Down South" he gave his
producer. actors and crew some very
bad moments.
Mr. Vorhaus gets extremely alb
sent-minded at times, and that was
the cause of the trouble. Because
he also has mania for travelling
crane shots; he likes to ride on the
crane and he forgets he's on it..
Twice he excitedly jumped from his
seat and stepped right off the crane.
The first time he landed atop a
banquet table, with little damage to
the table and none to himself. The
second time he was at an elevation
Of about Is feet and if he hadn't
landed on the shoulders of his as
sistant, Lee Sholem, he would have
been hurt. AS it was, only Sholem
got few bruises.
After the second landing the crew
took matters in their own hands. A
director is boss on any movie set,
but unscheduled flights aren't stand
ard film practice So the crew OBJ
tanned a wide leather belt, bolted it
to the camera crane and refused
to raise the apparatus until Vorhaus
was securely strapped in. The pic
ture was completed without further
crackups.

But still no news of a completed
script or the start of the picture
proper. Tyrone Powers studio
is anxiously awaiting the preview of
his next picture, Second Fiddle"
to determine the effect of his mar
riage on his career. If the pic
ture is good, there will be no cause
for worry. The trouble with some
of Tyrone's recent offerings is that
they have not been so good. This
fact, much more than his marriage,
has put question-mark over the
lads future.

listed in Burke's Peerage. He was
knighted by the Pope with the title
Of commander of the Holy Sepulcher,
by the King of England as knight of

an officer of the Crown of Rumania.
In his IL years in Hollywood he has
written for magazines and directed
seven feature films.
