Tucker, Operator
Near Richland, Is
Moving to Kansas

HIGHLAND - Residents of this
community have received a clipping
telling of new plans made by For
rest w. Tucker, farmer and rancher
south of here in Daniels county. The
clipping, from a Wichita, KanS.,
newspaper, states:
Forrest w. Tucker, Montana
rancher, has come to Kansas with
a view of transferring his ranching
activities to this state. He and DR..
Claude G. Tucker of Wichita have
been operating a large ranch near
Scobey, Mont. The Montana ranch
has been leased and will be used to
grow grain and run livestock.
Doctor Tucker and his brother are
admirers of horses and have run a
large number on their Montana
acres. They are looking at a Kansas
ranch with a view of purchasing
right away. The wichita specialist
has kept several fine horses in Kan
Sas in recent years"

81 PERCENT
OF COUNTY'S
TAXES PAID
Almost Half of Payments Not
Due Until Next May Are
Also Collected.

County real and personal property
owners paid "a percent of the 1943
taxes due Nov. 30. while real prop
erty owners have also paid 46 per-
cent of the second half payments
not due until next May 80.
This was the report today by
County Treasurer Stephen Weber.
He said that county tax levies not
only were at al all-time low but
that the percentage of collections
was the highest in recent history of
the county.
Total tax levy this year was
S350,000, "the lowest for many years
by at least 500, 000," the treasurer
said. Tax collections reached $272,-
900. This leaves $91, 900, including
this years and previous years de-
.linquencies and second half pay
ments not due until May 80, 1914.
In addition, receipts from county
owned lands from July l to Nov. 80
aggregated S85, 1913 in contract pay
ments and land leases. These more
than offset delinquent taxes so, ac-
county income is more than
100 per cent of the taxes levied, he
Because of the excellent collec-
ton, he added, it appears probable
that tax levies will be kept at a low
for another year.

Among questions asked by Mr..
Jarrett to be covered in the survey,
How many will want to make their
homes here? How many will return
to farms? How many farmers will
retire and leave units to others?
Where will more units be found?
What size should they be? What
kind of building program can be
developed among farmers and bust
ness men?"
He emphasizes that now is the
time to plan for postwar problems,
they develop.
