Utah Ruling

In recent federal district court
action heard in Salt Lake City, two
Utah mining companies won test
case involving payments to the
Utah state tax commission on gov
eminent subsidies.
Acting on instructions from Fed
eral District Judge Johnson, fed
eral jury awarded $37,S14.22 plus
SO interest per annum from May
81, 1914, to the Kennecott Copper
company, and $4,5S3.24 plus SO in
terest per annum from July %, 1914,
to Silver King Coalition Mines COM
pany.
Judge Johnson ruled that the
state tax commission had miscon-
strued the state laws governing
bonus payments made by the gov
eminent for over-quota production
from metal mines.
1t would be strange and strained
construction of the statutes to al
low a tax commission to collect
such taxes" he said.
The mining companies contended
that subsidy payments could not be
included as part of gross receipts
as basis for taxation.
The state has indicated it viii ap-
peal the case to the United States
supreme court both on the question
of Jurisdiction and the inclusion of
bonus payments in computing
taxes.

100000 DIVIDEND


WALLACE, Idaho.-Polaris Min

100000 or at the rate of 10c a
share. PAYABLE Dec. % to stock of
record Nov. %. This payment will
bring the company's total dividend
record for the current year to an
even $500 900, or 30c a share on the
outstanding 2,OOO. 600 shares of
stock, and will bring the total diVi-

PolariS is one of the outstanding
examples of the evolution of stock

and there have been many of them
in the Occur d'Alene district. Pol
arts started with a prospect hole
east of the Sunshine mine and
spent approximately 100000 in de
velopment work and in building a
mill before the company produced
a pound of ore, and, although the
investment was returned, produc-
ton from the mine proved disap-
pointing.
In the meantime, however, the
company continued deep prospect
work on the Polaris vein from the
200 foot level of the Sunshine.

Dealers Here See No Hope
For Boost in Cigo1ette Supply
- Shortage Laid to Rising Service Needs,
Increased Use, Changed Buying Habits

No immediate increase in the sup
ply Of cigarettes available to the
public is seen by Washington whole
sale and retail dealers who have felt
the demand particularly in the lead
ing brands.
The present situation in the mar
ket as pictured by the dealers is:
Camel. one of the four leading
brands always used as a barometer
this year cut ALLEGATIONS for public
consumption so. per cent under last
year.
Chesterfield allowed the same al
location as last year. Philip Morris
and Old Colds cut only 10 per cent
below their base figure for last year
Other companies have made cuts OF
about the same proportions.
Reasons for Shortage.
The reasons for the shortage
dealers say, are:
l. Increase in the shipment OF
cigarettes to the armed establish
ments all over the world.
2. For period of three years, end
ing last year, there was an increase
in use of cigarettes each month over
the previous month. This caused q
depletion of prepared stocks.
3. Although there Is no boarding
of cigarettes reported, customers
have formed the habit of picking up
their favorites whenever and wher-
ever available to avoid being with
out them. This habit. it is pointed
out, results in q quick drain on the
dealers when they place the more
popular brands on display.
Tobacco Crop Good.
District dealers are pessimistic de-
spite figures released yesterday by
Evening star., 1944-09-12

ing an increased estimate in the
amount of flue-cured tobacco which
will be produced this season.
Yesterdays estimate showed an
increase Of 10000, 900 pounds over
the crop prediction made August
Based on the figures released August
l. the cigarette manufacturers had
their ALLEGATION jumped to 578, 8,00O.-
600 pounds, a figure about 113,0OO,-
600 pounds over that earlier author
lied by the VIA.
The reason for the dealers pessi-
mism Is that the tobacco stocks al
ready cured are far below normal
and manufacturers may very well
feel that 1t would be better to build
up their backlogs than to release the
tobacco which could be used for i'm
mediate manufacture of cigarettes.
No Black Market.
In the District one wholesaler said
that dealers have been cut Is pel
cent in all brands of cigarettes since
the Government first started to bite
into the bank of prepared merchan-
disc for shipment to men in the
armed services.
Dealers, both retail and wholesale
say they had found on evidence OF
black market operations which
would remove cigarettes from nor.
NAL channels Of the trade.
Dealers also pointed to the in
crease in population here, both in
uniformed and civilian personnel OF
Government services. He said this
condition has resulted in similar

Ga|laudet President
Hopes 10 Improve
Facilities After War
Dr.. Hall Supports PIon
For Aid to Handicapped
Before House Group

Hopes that after the war the
limited facilities of Gallaudet Col
lege may be enlarged was ex-
pressed by DR.. Percival Hail. presi-
dent of that institution, testifyine
today before the Kelly House SUBJ
committee on Aid for Physically
Handicapped.
His appeal and tions
on behalf of the institution were
approved by A. l.. Crammate, a ma
tional vice president of the Amer
.ican Federation of Physically Handi-
capped, who is graduate of GAL
laudet.
DR.. Hall pointed out that there Is
little hope for the cure of deafness,
saying "the sad part of the picture
is that those who are deaf-most of
them-are going to stay deaf" He
explained that at least Is per cent
of the cases of deafness result after
birth as the result of scarlet fever
and meningitis and that the medical
profession is reducing the prevalence
of scarlet fever and minimizing the
effects of meningitis. He emphasized
that little has been accomplished for
the deaf by surgery and then only in
youth where infected tonsils and
adenoids had left growths.
A feature of the hearing today
was the Interpretation of testimony
for the deaf in the audience by Rev.
Lewis w. Foxwell of the Church of
Christ, Baltimore, through sign
language.
Mr.. Crammate said that Gallau-
det College should be a model in
stitution and should be a center Of
research on all problems of deaf
ness" He urged that increased ed
ucational opportunity be afforded
the deaf and that restriction in re-
gard to the deaf should be re-
moved in Government and private
employment. He declared many
insurance companies refuse to in
sure the deaf or charge higher
rates. He recommended establish
ing Federal bureau for the handi-
capped. with a special division for
the deaf. He also urged that Con-
gress should call upon the Depart
ment of Justice to order that in
terpreters be furnished by the
courts and approved by recognized
organizations of the deaf.
Paul A. Strachen, president of the
American Federation of the Physi-
cally Handicapped, and Rev. Her
bert c. Marshall, president of the
Gallaudet College Alumni Associa-
ton, were also witnesses.
