(Aitociited Press Photo), ROGERS INHERITANCE TAX NEARLY MILLION Los Angeles, Aug. 21 (IP) State and federal governments may claim almost $1,000,000 In Inheritance tax es from the estate of Will Rogers, cowboy comedian ana humorist, it was learned today. Figures were compiled by state in heritance tax officials who were ask ed to figure approximate taxes on the estate, which is estimated at about $5,000,000. They computed tax es as $913,570, of which $237,270 would go to the state and $676,300 to the federal government. The estimate was made on the ba sis of community property, or that earned since Rogers' marriage. One- half of the total would be exempt from taxation, the taxable amount being about $2,500,000 If the estate were not community property taxes would total $2,296,170, or about 48 percent. It was said. Of this amount the state would get $487,270 and the federal government $1,808,900. $42,000,000 PAID ON A. T. & T, SHARES New York, Aug. 21 MP) American Telephone & Telegraph company directors today authorized the usual quarterly dividend of $2.25 on the capital stock, which calls for a dis tribution of about $42,000,000 among the company s 675.000 stockholders. One of the few important indus trial concerns to go through the de pression without lowering its divi dend, American Telephone has an unbroken record since 1921 or $9 an nual disbursements to stockholders. In each year since 1930 the com pany has had to draw upon surplus to pay a part of the dividend, but in spite of this policy it had cash reserves of more than $250,000,000 at the end of 1934. If telephone installations and earnings the trends have been up ward more than a year, but reve nues, according to recently pub lished figures, are still short of the $9 dividend requirements. For the five months ended May 31 the com pany's proportion of net Income of the Bell system was $50,770,000. equal to $2.72 a share of capital stock, against $50,045,000 or $2.68 a share earned in the first five months of 1934. The dividend is payable October 15 to stock of record September 16. FLUE FIRE STARTS BLAZE IN TIMBER Bonneville.

GRAND OPENING MKIXOW MOON MALI, ROOM New Management RHpcoratril New Muto Duke Wilson from Art- zona find his orchestra Open nightly except Monday and Tuesday Admission IOC 0eU 40C Ladies Final Rehearsal Friday Eve August 23 Arlmlvilon I0r for everyone UPJOHN URGES NECESSITY OF NEW SCHOOLS Declaring that the Investment of approximately a million dollars in the construction of school buildings would be one of the most valuable and one In which they would get extreme pleasure in years to come, Don H. Upjohn, local newspaperman and president of the Lincoln Parent-Teacher association, appealed to members of the Salem Rotary club to get behind the movement to vote some $600,000 in bonds with which to construct a new high school, a new grade building and additions to Leslie junior high. The action of the Public Works administration in fixing September 16 as the deadline for the filing of applications for government grants, was an indication, Upjohn said, that the end of the federal construction program was in sight. Taking up the question of the ad vlsibillty of building an entirely new senior high plant, as opposed to the remodelling of the structure now In use, Upjohn presented figures shov ing that a building to accommodate 2200 pupils would take care of the Increase in students for the next, de cade. Reconstruction of the present building would mean something else would have to be done at the end of a five year period. ' The addition of an auditorium, gymnasium and additional class rooms at Leslie would merely take care of a moral obligation the citi zens of the district owed the south part of the city, Upjohn declared. He pointed out that the additions were contemplated when the orig inal bond issue of $500,000 was voted some years ago. Twenty five thou sand of the original bond issue re mains unexpended. Replacing the two old wooden buildings would be accomplished through the construction of a cen tral grade building In the vicinity of Bush's pasture.
