and road aid only $958,832.34. The
average return from these three
counties is only 80 cents out of every
dollar paid. The average return for
the other counties of the state runs
SLAB for each dollar paid to the state.
These figures were compiled in the
Bjorge-Bendixen tax bill steal now on
in the legislature The larger part of
those in the house who voted for the
super-tax on the iron industry are
from the receiving counties and not
from the paying ones. One Of the
arguments advanced by the proponents
of the tonnage tax is that the farmer
pays taxes year after year while the
mines become exhausted and quit pay
ing taxes. At the rate the mine pays
yearly it will take a farmer about
hundred years to pay an equal amount
It is not uncommon for a 40-acre
mineral tract to pay 40 or so thou
sand dollars year. The farmer prob
ably pays about $40 a year for the
same amount of land. At this rate the
farmer would not pay in lifetime as
much as the 40-acre mining land
would pay in one year.

SERVICE STAR
CARDS GIVEN

At the Saturday evening meeting of
the Ely Post No. PITT, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Commander John J..
Maier announced that under the
supervision of national headquarters
the VFW recently launched an effort
TO provide the families of Americas
service men with service star window
cards without cost.
The design Of the card was inspired
by the Service Star flag which made
its appearance throughout America
during 1917-1918. In the DAYS of
World War I the original service flag
was embellished with a blue star for
each member of the family actively
serving in the armed forces.
The Service star cards being dis
tributed by the VIEW today bear a blue
star to indicate domestic service a
silver star to denote service beyond the
continental limits of the United States
and gold star in tribute to those who
make the supreme sacrifice.
All persons desiring the card must
make their request in writing to the
nearest cooperating radio station, ac-
croding to Adj. General r. B. Handy,
Jr. Radio stations taking part in this
campaign will forward all requests
received to the VFrW national head
quarters. The cards are being mailed
direct to the individual person request
ing this symbol of patriotism.

Here are some figures on the crude
rubber situation of the United Nations
as of the first of this month which
Leon Henderson gave to the Truman
committee and which I believe every
individual should know:
Henderson estimates total supplies
and needs for three years, 1912 through
1914. In 1912, the estimates show
434, 900 tons shipments and $4,000 tons
of synthetic rubber, a total of $4,000
tons. The shipments consist largely
of cargoes on the seas before Febru-
airy /.
United States military needs, pared
to the bone and then cut an additional
Is per cent, are placed at 3O6,75O tons;
q. S. essential civilian requirements at
10000 tons, and the rest of the non
Axis world at 198,750 tons, for a total
demand of 655, 500 tons, leaving def
icit of 1965O0 tons to eat into the
stockpile of sos, 900 tons which we had
at the beginning of 1912 and leaving
only 496,500 tons on hand at the
beginning of 1913.
Supplies for 1913 are estimated at
$4,000 tons shipments, 100000 tons
synthetic and 1000 tons from guayule,
or total of 100000 tons while demands
are 462,750 tons for U. S. military,
123,750 tons for U. 8. civilian and
198,750 tons for the rest of the non
Axis world, or a total of 785,250 tons,
deficit of demand over supply for
the year of 349,250 tons, which again
eats into our stockpile to leave only
margin of 147,25O tons at the be-
ginning of 1914
Supplies for 1914 are estimated at
$4,000 tons shipped in, 100000 tons
synthetic and $4,000 tons from guayule,
or total or 100000 tons. Demands
for 1914 are the same as for 1913,
leaving deficit for the year of demand
over supply of $3.50 tons, which would
cut down our stockpile to only $1,000
tons at the beginning of 1945.
Those figures are worth studying.
And as you study them, bear in mind
these three facts:
able, particularly the rapid increase in
synthetic production, are the most
optimistic estimates made by any
agencies which have studied the
problem.
90 The estimates on demands for
war needs and essential civilian re-
quirements for rubber, on the other
hand, are the most conservative made,
and then have been cut an additional
Is per cent, which means that in order
to make up its needs, the military |
probably win monopolize all the re-
claimed rubber which can be produced |
Cd The estimate of civilian demand |
does not provide for any crude or re-
claimed rubber whatever for the U.s.
100000 or more passenger automobiles |
now in use in the United States. Our |
normal civilian consumption is about |
100000 tons.
Those figures show conclusively that |
far from expecting any relaxation of |
rubber and tire rationing in the next |
three or four years, We must expect |
more and tighter restrictions.
For the great majority of us, there
Is no chance whatever of new tires
when the ones now on our cars wear
out, so the sooner we begin doing
everything possible to prolong the life
Of those tires, the longer We'll have
automobile transportation.
