Sounds Like P Politics

MR.. HOOVER'S emotional appeals on behalf Of Fin
AVA land do not ring entirely true They sound danger
ously like presidential politics. Did Mr. Hoover lead
movement for Austrian relief when Hitler marched
into that country and threw thousands Of innocent
persons into concentration camps? Did he lead
ment for Spanish relief Chinese relief or Czecho-
Slovakian relief? And incidentally did he ever show
the great passion he is now exhibiting toward Fin
land in behalf of the impoverished people of the Unit
ed States?'

Lower Automobile Taxes Are One
Reason For State Tax Rate jump

ONE of the major reasons why the state tax rate
jumped at the beginning of the present fiscal year
fact which of the politicians still throw
ing in the governors face-was demonstrated here
and all over the state when automobile license plates
went on SALE Taxes on automobiles were sheared al
most half
This writer has accurate statistics of what the
reduction amounts to in dollars and cents, the
state-such figures would be difficult to secure since
every city and town and rural district has it's tax
rate-but he does know what his own license plates
have cost in past years. During the first year OF opera
ton of the car the cost of plates dropped less than 81
from the 500 he paid the first time he paid taxes
i-a higher tax rate ate up much of the difference in
valuation. The next year it dropped just about $l2
This year, with another decrease in the vaua
ton the old heap adds years and groans, and with
the tax rate the charge is less than half that of
last year.
The second time we bought plates we paid taxes at
the rate Of $8O7 per S1OO valuation This time 81 per
$1OO The difference two years ago, would in this SIN
gle instance have amounted to nearly SIS.
When you knock off revenues in that fashion, all
over the state somebody has to make them up some
where The difference is reflected in higher prop
erty tax
As matter Of fact the automobile lieu tax law was
first passed before the present administration came
into being The courts threw out last year and we
paid in Mesa at the regular ad ValOrem rate our
cars In its last session the legislature merely
acted the law after attempting to iron out the un
constitutional features.
A farmer has something to kick about; however, al
though we're not tax experts, we imagine that his tax
burden is too great principally because his net return
in ratio to investment is out of line Few businesses
return as little in proportion to the amount of money
invested as does farmers. There just isn't margin
enough to pay taxes when the taxes based the
value of the investment-and not on the net return.
The automobile has been assessed unfairly
in years past however. man may own his home and
car and derive no revenue whatever therefrom, and
have one devil Of time paying taxes on them-again
we're speaking for just one individual But discount
ing this-an automobile is the only piece Of personal
property which taxes anywhere 100 per
cent collected Because it's has to pay taxes to
get his plates and has to have his plates to drive
Tenants of rented houses don't pay taxes on tFeir
furniture and personal belongings in many, many
cases-there's way to collect them Although
tomobles valued below market values for taxa
tion purposes, home valuations in most instances
far lower in proportion In these days automobile
is not luxury, and the automobile owner has been
carrying pretty W share. (Mesa Journal

Mutt and JEFF Grass

According to the Country Home
Magazine, plant explorers who
searched the world over for the best
grass to use in resodding the Kan
sas Dust Bowl have finally found
tin Kansas. This new-old grass
is really two grasses, blue grama
and buffalo, the Mutt and jeff Of the
western plains. If the season is dry,
the tall, tough grana rudely shoves
it's partner aside and takes over the
field. But when wet weather comes,
the short but subtle buffalo grass
slyly slips in and regains its hold.
These grasses are spread by SOW
ing 300 pounds of their hay per
acre with a manure spreader. The
hay is harvested in September,
sown in March, and punched into
the soil with wheel packer.

TWinkling Stars

The twinlzling of stars is rapid
shaking or vibration Of their light
caused mainly by the turmoil of the
atmosphere-currents and strata Of
different temperatures intermin-
Cling and flowing past one another.
A stars light seems to come from
a mere point, SO that when its rays
are scattered by irregular refrac-
ton, at one instant very few rays
reach the eye, and at another many.
This accounts for the seeming
changes Of brightness in a twinkling
star. Ordinarily the bright planets
are not seen to twinkle because of
their large apparent disks, made
up of a multitude Of points, which
therefore maintain a general aver
age of brightness.
