A new problem developed today relative to efforts being made by the ways and nieuita commit tee to raise the revenue-to meet the stale's needs for tile next two. years. There Is a question whether the six per cent limitation amend ment would apply to tobucco. cos metic and other taxes the commit tee will ask the legislature to make.

Most of this area Is heavily wooded an I a largu percenlag" of I he first settlers certainly took laud mere ly for tin: sake of the . timber, which hasv gone largely Into the hands of great lumber companies. The expansion of logging oper ations In the district by the Bowman-Hick's company may have In duced some, farmers to stay on their land, 'which beeame close jo the market afforded by tin camp at -Max ville. Also, many' settlers are t(' tenacious character und cling to forests and mountains. The farm census wastkn un der the supervision of- 'Trcd l.
