The new, the fine and the beautiful always inspire emulation. But so great is the cost of building the magnificent new Fisher bodies for the Silver Anniversary Buick that imitation will be possible only to much costlier cars, and even these will find difficulty in following where Buick leads! $1,500,000 has been expended in manufacturing the dies alone for the new Buick bodies; and the gracefully curving side panels which form one of their distinguishing characteristics represent the most expensive steel paneling work employed on any automobile in the world! But it is not in the matchless grace and beauty of exterior design alone that the Silver Anniversary Buick eclipses other cars. In fleet, powerful performance too, the world holds no equal for the Silver Anniversary Buick with Masterpiece Bodies by Fisher. And the motor-public, buying in such tremendous volume as to force the great Buick factories to work day and night to supply the demand, is elevating it to the prominence of a vogue!

In his message to the legislature, the governor frankly admitted that the proposed rate of 1 per cent for banks and business corporations would unquestionably reduce the taxes of many banks, although in the case of larger banks affiliated with subsidiary financial corporations, the total would probably be increased. "But it will equalize the tax burdens on between the banks and other corporations, and will further equalize the burden as between the corporations themselves," said the governor. "It will lighten a very oppressive and injustice burden upon many smaller corporations, while adding very materially to taxes of some of the larger corporations now occupying practically tax-free." "I am rattled that what the banks desire is a claustified and valid system of bank taxation, and that if this is not secured they will make no further effort to collect back from the state these taxes already paid, even though paid under a system which they regard as invalid." "I hold no brief for the banks, and have not the slightest personal or financial interest in any of them, but I do not like to see them unjustly charged with trying in this instance to escape their fair share of the tax burden, owing to the operation of a federal law which they have no power to change." Governor Young explained that as far as he could determine, there were just six possible courses of action now before the legislature, as follows: 1. Adopt a constitutional amendment along lines suggested by the commissioners. National Air Races Open September 8 By CNPA Service Augmenting an already expansive program, three special events, for Army and Marine Corps filers, have been added to the schedule for the National Air Races, opening September 8 at Mines Field, according to an announcement by W. E. Thomas, chairman of the program branch of the contest board. Designated as "Special Event, No. 5," the first race is a closed event for Marine Corp Observation Squadron, No. 8, from the U. S. Naval Base at San Diego. It is a 50-mile race, 10 laps over a five-mile course, for trophies posted by the California Air Race association. Levi P. J. Cushman commands the squadron. Second of the new events, to be known as "Special Event, No. 6," is for pilots of the Third Attack Group of the Army from Fort Crockett, Texas. It is an 120-mile race, 12 laps around a 10-mile course for the Mason M. Patrick trophy. Last of the trio, designated as "Special Event, No. 7," is limited to army filers of the First Pursuit Group, coming here from Selldridge Field, Michigan. Is for the John L. Mitchell trophy, posted by William Mitchell in honor of his brother, a pilot killed in the World War. The event is 120 miles, 12 laps around a 10-mile course. These special events are in addition to six other races limited to military and naval pilots for which an imposing array of trophies has been posted. All branches of the service, including the national guard troops in different states, probably will be entered in the parachute jumping contests. Flying organizations from U. S. Government stations to compete, in addition to those enumerated, include three squadrons of 18 planes each from the naval base at San Diego, under direction of Admiral Joseph Reeves, assisted by Commander E. E. Wissen, and the 15th Pursuit Group of the Army from Rockvale Fiedl, San Diego, under command of Major A. L. Sneed, and National Guard and reserve Army, Navy and Marine Corps units from all parts of the United States. OUR PANAMA INVESTMENT Discussing the proposed Nicaragua canal before the institute of politics at Williamstown, Capt. R. E. Kakenhus, of the U. S. navy engineers' corps, declared that the Panama canal will meet all requirements for at least 50 years, providing traffic does not increase at a greater annual rate than it has during the past ten years. Traffic has increased from 8,500,000 tons in 1920 to about 29,000,000 tons this year, but the canal is operated only one-third of the day. When the new reservoir is completed and the addition of a third "flight" of locks, the canal's capacity will be 100 millions of tons per day. He declared that the Nicaragua canal would cost at least 1000 millions of dollars compared to 400 millions for the Panama canal which included 100 millions for fortifications. He said the Panama canal is paying and at the present rate should amortize itself within 50 years. A New York woman accused of violating the Volstead Act ranged three policemen trying to arrest her. Some of it is powerful stuff. This early in the campaign it becomes apparent that "How Dry I Am" is apt to be one of the season's most popular songs. "I hold no brief for the banks, and have not the slightest personal or financial interest in any of them, but I do not like to see them unjustly charged with trying in this instance to escape their fair share of the tax burden, owing to the operation of a federal law which they have no power to change." Governor Young explained that as far as he could determine, there were just six possible courses of action now before the legislature, as follows: 1. Adopt a constitutional amendment along lines suggested by the commission, but with a lower rate than the equivalent of four per cent on net income. 2. Adopt a constitutional amendment along lines suggested by the commission, but with no definite initial rates indicated. 3. Make some modification of the bank share tax plan such as will remove it from conflict with federal law. 4. Do nothing at the present time. This, as the commission has fully pointed out in its report, will place in jeopardy no less than $22,000,000 of state revenue, which, if last, must be made up by increasing the tax burden in some other direction; while permitting the banks to escape with no fines whatever. Part of the vast sum will be the amount lost between the present time and 1921 through a failure now to establish a valid tax for banks and other corporations, and part will be the amount of taxes already paid under the share-tax method, which the banks will seek to recover in order to justify their refusal to pay further taxes levied by the same method. 6. Place before the people of the state the constitutional amendment submitted to you today. In doing this you will be following out the recommendations of an able and conscious tax commission, aided by some of the leading tax experts that the nation affords. "If you submit this constitutional amendment to the people and show them what is involved, meanwhile, by ratifying the amendment of next November's election, the voters can empower you to pass the legislation necessary to carry out this new bank tax plan, even to the extent of altering the plan, whenever a future amendment to the federal statute so permits. The adoption of this amendment will in no way complicate consideration of the entire problem of state taxation by the next legislature upon presentation of the complete report by the tax commission; but it will provide a legal method of bank taxation to meet the present emergency. Having thus presented all possible alternates as clearly as I can, I leave to you the solution of the problem." SHUT-IN HIGHWAY HELPING THE POOR More than 1000 representatives from some 40 different countries recently met in Paris for the purpose of considering methods to improve the conditions of the very poor. It was the unanimous opinion of the congress that the whole question of social reform revolved about the housing of these poor classes. Slums must be abolished if crime is to be reduced and it is the duty of the state and municipalities to solve the problem. Europe has led the way in this development and by national loans or subsidies has furnished decent homes for millions of people. Vienna alone has erected 31,542 municipal dwellings during the past nine years and will double that number during the next five years. Special attention is given to playgrounds, pools, gardens, wash house, clubrooms and libraries. During the four years from 1924 to 1927 inclusive Germany has built 1,340,000 homes with aid from the government. England has spent more than two million dollars in the same direction. France reported that 18 percent of the families in that country are still living in single-room homes. In Madrid, Spain, a large majority of the poor families live in one room. The general trend of opinion was that decent housing and sanitary conditions was just as necessary as public education. The argument against this is the danger of the plan becoming a subsidy for low wages. Another argument against it was that this class of people spend a large proportion of their earnings for liquor of some sort. In any event, however, the public must pay the bill eventually, either in reform institutions, court costs, or disease prevention and cures. A running sure on the body politic cannot be cured by a coat of whitewash. DERRIS IS CAT'S RELIEF Powdered derris root (from a tropical plant) is exceedingly effective in destroying fleas on cats and dogs, if used when fresh, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The material may be mixed when used with two parts of flour or cornstarch and dusted into the hair of the animal with a shaker, or about ten teaspoonful of the pure powder may be scattered in the hair, especially on the animal's neck and back. If animals are exposed to probably will be entered in the parachute jumping contests. Greatly Killed Guaranteed Clea SUMMER is over—long weather, dust, and cold dulled the finish of your ing up . . .

San Diego has undertaken to begin such a campaign, through the recent action of the Advertising club here. The Ad clubbers now have a permanent committee directed to go after the menace of back alley scenery on San Diego county highways. This committee will no doubt welcome the co-operation offered by the Auto club in connection with its present plea. San Diego’s entrance and exit highways are already fairly well walled in with signboard scenery and other eyesores of the shabblest kind. No one committee can make much headway against this already costly nuisance, except as it enlists aid on all sides from the individuals and organizations interested in this cause. Besides the money spent advertising California’s beauties, millions are spent every year in building highways. If the skimboard menace grows any worse, this money would better be devoted to subways. DERRIS IS CAT’S RELIEF Powdered derris root (from a tropical plant) is exceedingly effective in destroying fleas on cats and dogs, if used when fresh, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The material may be mixed when used with two parts of flour or cornstarch and dusted into the hair of the animal with a shaker, or about 1/2 teaspoonful of the pure powder may be scattered in the hair, especially on the animal’s neck and back. If animals are exposed to infested predisposition this treatment should be repeated after ten days. It is important that animals be kept from beneath dwellings, as breeding of fleas progresses rapidly in such places and it is difficult to treat these places. In general, fleas are more abundant in the summer and fall than at other seasons of the year, and rainy summers are especially productive of outbreaks of fleas. Such outbreaks are always associated with dogs, cats, or hogs. The fleas breed in the dust in the sleeping places of these animals. Fleas may breed in countless numbers under houses, in basements, or in outbuildings when pet or stray animals have access to them. From these centers the fleas frequently spread or are carried into houses and barns. A thorough spraying of such breeding places with creosote oil will usually solve the difficulty. A good force pump, not a hand atomizer, should be used for spraying the creosote oil. If fleas have goozen into the house, an easy and inexpensive method of destroying them is to scatter 5 pounds of laked naphthalene over the floor and close the doors and windows tightly for 24 hours. Afterwards the naphthalene may be swept into another room and used again, if desired. HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water.

Offered for the first time in the College of Commerce and Business Administration of the University of Southern California, a course in Commercial Aviation covering the economics of aeronautics is announced by President K. B. von Klein-Smid to open this month. In charge of Earl W. Hill, head of the department of traffic and transportation at the University of Southern California and Educational Director of the Western Air Express, the air transport study course will cover history of aviation, types of air craft, types of motors, government and state regulations, mail, express, and passenger service, rates and operating cost, airways, airports, safety devices, and government inspection, dealing with aviation from a service and investment point of view. Registration for the Fall Semester of the College of Commerce of S. C. begins on September 14th, with classes to hold their initial meetings on Monday, September 17th, according to announcement of Dean Reid L. McCheng. A new cinnebar find has been made in Humboldt county fifteen miles from Orleans on the Mill Creek Mining company to develop the prospect. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "Man" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday, September 2, in all Churches of Christ; Scientist, branches of The Mother Church; The First Church of Chrisg; Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon included the following Bible selection from Genesis, 1: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him." The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 475), by Mary Baker Eddy: "The Scriptures inform us that man is made in the image and likeness of God. Matter is not that likeness. The likeness of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit. Man is spiritual and perfect; and because he is spiritual and perfect, he must be so understood in Christian Science." Dispatch from Brule says that President Collage has learned how to handle a canoe. We always supposed he was an artist at this occupation. At least we never knew him to rock the boat.
