FULL TITLE INSISTED ON Federal Brier Contends That Entry man Must Comply With Every Law Affecting Entry Before State Can Impose Lien. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Jan, 15. To determine definite ly when homesteade-d lands under Gov. ernment irrigation projects become subject to taxation, and also when per manent improvements on these home steads may be taxed by the state, suit has been Instituted by the United States Government in Idaho against Canyon County, Idaho, with the expectation that the case will be appealed, to me United States Supreme Court. It is the contention of the Govern ment in this suit that the lands them selves cannot be taxed until the home steader has compiled with the home stead law, complied with the reclama tion act, and paid to the Government every dollar charged against his lands for water and for maintenance. It also Is the Government's contention that im provements of these homesteads cannot be taxed until the land itself is suo- ject to taxation. Homestead Compiled With. The Government brief sets forth that the homestead entrymen who figure in this litigation have complied with the provisions of the ordinary homestead law, but have not complied with the additional provisions of the reclama tion law requiring the cultivation of half the area of their entries, nor have they made full payments required by the reclamation act. Government counsel cite .an old de cision of the Supreme Court in which it was held that before any land ac quired under the public land laws be comes subject to taxation, full equit able title must have passed and no Hens or -equitable rights of the united States be unextinguished. ' A tax lien, if valid, is superior to all other liens and a tax sale, if valid. confers a title paramount to all others. argues the Government. From this it is argued that as long as the Gov ernment holds a lien an account of un paid construction charges the states cannot establish a superior lien by at tempting to se.I the property at tax sale. Tax Title Buyer Not Qualified. Furthermore, tinder the homestead law, a settler on a Government project can transfer only to some person quali fied of himself to make a reclamation homestead entry. If one of these en tries is sold at tax sale the state, under its laws, can sell to the highest Did der, regardless of his qualifications, under the reclamation law, and herein might arise a conflict between state and Federal statute. The Government's lien on the Boise project, it is pointed out, is in excess of $11,000,000. "So," says counsel, "if the triviaj amount still due the United States on the lands involved in the case of Northern Pacific vs. Trail County prevented the lands from becoming taxable because such tax' lien and tax sale would defeat a lien of the United States, then how much more must the lands involved in this case be exempt from taxation where the tax lien and tax sale would defeat the lien of the United States amounting.to more than 11.000.000. and where Congress has ex- Dressly declared and embodied in the patent the condition that no other lien superior to the lien of the United States shall ever be permitted to at tach to the title in question prior to complete payment of the charges due the United States." ST. HELENS FIGHTS TAX sidered In committee of the whole. where rollcalls cannot be demanded. As the debate on the leasing bill was drawing to a close, Mr. Mann moved "to strike out the period" at the end of the bill. His amendment meant nothing, but he demanded a division, which showed 42 members present out of a total membership of 435. And that there were more Republicans than Democrats in the House was disclosed by the result of the vote 22 to 20. When the amendment had carried. Ma Mann got unanimous consent to with draw his amendment. "But,1 he said, "I would like to see some Democrats stay in the House once in a while." Whereupon Representative Johnson, of Washington, interjected the remark that "during the discussion of this leasing bill, the better part of the aft ernoon, there have been present only 10 Democrats and about 20 Republicans, and the bill is of great importance. 3 N1GHTRIDERS GUILT TWO CONVICTED, ONE ADMITS OF FENSE IN MISSOURI.

EASV WAY TO HEAL COMMON SKIN-TROUBLES A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but well-tried and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim ilar itching, burning skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar of resinol ointment and a cake of resi nol soap. These are not at all expen-' sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage, if necessary, to protect the clothing. This should be done twice t day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treat ment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again unless the trouble is due to some serious internal disorder.
