These taxes are designed to raise $24,000,000 during their life, or $8,500,000 a year, The sale of beer was further liberalized by amending the act to permit purchasers to take one to 48 bottles from the place of Sale. With the relief problem out of the way, the solons were confronted with a<much bigger one when Gover­ nor White proposed. so-called luxury taxes for school relief to raise $8, 700,000 this year and next. The governor recommended a five per cent sales tax on meals costing over 40 cents and ten per cent on furs, jewelry, radios, phonographs, musical instruments, re frigerators, sporting goods, firearms, cameras, safety de­ posit box rentals and beverages not included in the other one cent cap tax. The governor also suggested as an alternative a three per cent addi­ tional excise tax on gas and telephone companies, stating, however, that revenue from this source would not be available before July, 1934.

Wilson of near London, j retired physicion and farm expert, to take care of the surplus pigs o f th e 1 country rather than to butcher the pigs, render the animals into tank­ age, sell the tankage back to the farmers to raise more pigs, Dr. Wilson believes tha t the 5,000,- 000 pigs to be taken over would pro­ vide- a real feast for the 126,000,000 people of the country and a t the same time relieve the government of the need of handling the pigs in such a way as to make it necessary for the farmer to raise more pigs right away, The national barbecue day would be designated a t such a time as not to conflict with the Thanksgiving or Christmas time sales of farm pro­ ducts. / The London man also is alarmed a t the announced plan of the federal treaty with the Argentine republic of government in the proposed reciprocal South America by which Argentine lambs will be admitted to the United States, claiming that; such action will “kill” the sheep on American farms Dr. Wilson contends that the fam­ ous Southdown lamb of Kentucky and Tennessee *will be driven from the pastures of these two states and that other states will suffer in a like man­ ner.- Dr. Wilson warns that every time five sheep are removed from a U- S. farm, one acre of land is turned into grain or other food production use.

The order provides that after the ballots have been counted in each election booth the four judges and the two clerks are requir­ ed to prepare and sign an extra sum­ mary sheet and tabulation of the vote cast in such precinct for all candidates and issues. The summary and tabula­ tion sheet, containing the total vote for each precinct, is to be sealed ih an Official envelope, endorsed on the reverse side by each precinct official, and immediately mailed a t the nearest post office or letter box for transmis­ sion to the Secretary of State. This tabulation sheet will be an exact duplicate of the ones posted on the election booth and sent to the local board of election and will therefore be a further cheek in the interest of accuracy and speed in the counting and tabulating election returns, FIRST STATE BANK TO I*A1T FIRST DIVIDEND i TO FILE MOTION Clarence M.
