California's annual crop o f table
grapes for eastern markets is moving

and already over three hundred cars

tination, according to C. J. McDon

pany.
The first table grapes o f the year
came from the Fresno district, ac
cording to McDonald. About fifty
cars o f grapes are moving eastward
from that territory daily. At the
peak of the season, it is expected
that 500 cars a day will be needed
to handle the shipments which will
continue until the latter part o f Nov
ember.
The Fresno territory which opened
the grape shipping season includes

There is wealth in our forests—
a potential wealth beyond the com
prehension o f the average man.
Eventually our forests will be going
out into the markets to supply the
home builders o f the nation. When
they do begin going a veritable
stream o f gold will come flowing
back to us in return for our forest
products.
Some single trees out in the woods
are worth a small fortune. An ex
ample may be cited in a certain fir
tree which grew on the Wm. Steuer
place on North Myrtle.
This particular tree, which grew
near Mr. Steuer's house, crashed to
earth one day without any apparent
reason other than old age had forced
ft to close up it* work. It was a beau
tiful specimen, and Mr. Steuer found
upon investigation that it was what
the woodsmen term a “ hoard tree.”
so he went to work manufacturing
clapboards.
Up to this time he has made 35-
000 clapboards or “ shakes"
from
this tree and there is still timber
available for shakes. And the sale
of shakes has brought him around
some cash; at present prices for the
shakes the output from this tree
would run up to $315.— Myrtle

Most anybody can ‘talk” tax re
duction but few people can formu
late or execute a plan which secures
tax reduction.
As a successful business man,
Secretary o f the Treasury Mellon
knew that to sell a manufactured
product, the price had to be one the
public could pay.
He applied the
same theory to taxes and the Amer
ican people are now having an ob
ject lesson in the science o f taxa
tion under the Mellon plan. By en
couraging the rich man as well as
the poor man to invest his money
in productive enterprise subject to
a reasonable tax rate, instead o f in
vesting it in tax-exempt bonds to
escape a confiscatory tax rate, the
federal treasury has been swelled
by amounts which not even treas
ury officials estimated could be se
cured under the new procedure.
Lower taxes have released hundreds
of millions o f dollars which have
been put to work to earn more
money. Immediately new taxable
income has resulted.
Every person in the United States
has felt the beneficial effect o f this
policy. It should be conclusive evi
dence to municipal and state taxing
bodies that the best way to build up
local communities and secure addi
tional tax revenue, is to increase
the volume o f tax returns by low
rates which encourage new money
to do a larger volume o f business,
thereby increasing the taxable as
sets. This is much preferable to
increasing the tax rate on a dimin
ishing volume o f taxable property.
States which are now proposing
new or drastic taxation measures or
undertakings which tend to discour
age or drive capital to other local
ities, can profit greatly by the ex
perience o f the federal government
under the Mellon administration.
The fifty-one armored cars in
New York used for transporting cash
to and from banks, are each in
charge o f four expert men who train
every day in the week in a shooting
gallery. One o f the men remains in
the car with a machine gun covering
the others as they carry the money.
Each car is insured for five million
dollars.
