FIRST CONCRETE S PEURED AT DAM Biggest Mixing Plant in World Operates as Boulder Can- yon Work Progresses. By the Associated Press. BOULDER CITY, Nev., March 10.— ‘Workmen Tuesday began pouring con- crete at the intake portal of diversion tunnel No. 2, the first of the 4,500,000 cubic yards of concrete that will o into the building of Hoover Dam and appur- tenant works. ‘The concrete was being mixed in the | largest plant ever erected for this pur- , and the sand and gravel going B s composition are screened, graded and washed by a plant which, in its ex- tent and mechanical installation, rep- resents an outlay never before ap- proached. The facilities, built by the Six Com- panies, Inc,, builders of the dam, will be operated under supervision of the United States Bureau of Reclamation. When the last of the concrete is placed, some years in the future, enough of it will have been poured to build a highway 22 feet wide and 5 inches thick from San Francisco to New York. = Wickford, England, with a popula- tion of 31,000, now has only one police- man.

DES MOINES, Iowa, March 8 (N.ANA) —Quietly and effectively | Towa last year established a system of | economy which reduced taxes, payable | this year, between 10 and 12 million | dollars. 'That is probably a national record for 1931. § All this saving, State and local, was in the tax on general property. And |in Towa 80 per cent of all taxes are derived from property, two-thirds of it farm property. So the slash this year, | 10 per cent of the general property tax, is a rsal measure of relief. . _To Gov. Turner perhaps more than any one else is due the credit. ernment economy was & principal plank in his platform of 1930, and when he | was elected he immediately put this policy into_effect. Calling _together ments early in 1931, he urged lowering all budgets, that the levy on property | might be reduced. | This admoniticn was zealously ob- | served. With budgets rigidly pruned, legislative appropriations were reduced, and it was possible to lower the State levy 20 per cent, 10 to 8 mills, with & Gov- | heads of depart- | THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., Savings for Taxpayers in Year by Drastic Cuts; Economy Effective, but Real Sacrifices Also Made in Government Services. fi;iznx of $2,000,000 to taxpayers in That was item No. 1 of the economy program. Item No. 2 was added by legislative enactment. When the Gen- | eral Assembly met last Spring it passed a law requiring all taxing units, coun- ties, townships, municipalities and ‘uhool districts, to reduce levies in 1931 |and 1932 5 per cent. It is estimated | this enactment reduced local taxes five | or six million dollars. Then came the third item. In equal- izing assessments of various taxing | units, the State Board of Assessment and Review lowered the assessed valua- tion of farm property $130,000,000 and of city property $30,000,000, a total re- ductfon of $160,000,000 in assessed val- uation of the State. It is estimated this saved taxpayers $4,000,000. Adding the three items, it is seen the taxpayers will have upward of $12,000,- 000 less to pay this year than in 1931. In each case the estimates, lacking final tax reports for the year, are by Dr. J. W. Reynolds, chairman of the State Board of Assessment and Review. ITowa, being a leading agricultural State, its tax problem is of special in- terest. Situated in the heart of the Middle West, the State may be regarded also as fairly typical of the great farm- ing region surrounding it. As chief taxation official, Dr. Reynolds was asked to outline the tax situation in Yowa, its effect upon agricuiture and how the situation may be further re- | leved. have to be cut. The ;c‘a’l‘i‘zl'?es of highway development would have to be changed “If we accept this 8 a necessity, no | doubt considerable decrease in taxes “In & general way, after ordinary | can be brought about.” economies of government,” he replied, “tax reduction means—if it amounts to anything in the way of a real reduction of the burden—that we must do without many services we now have and be con- tent to accept less from government. “In Jowa the income from all sources for governmental use amounts, in round numbers, to $140,000,000 annually. About $110,000,000 of this is produced from property tax and tax on moneys and credits. We get about $25,000.000 from automobile licenses and gasoline tax. About $5,000,000 comes from other taxes and miscellaneous sources. “In spending this we devote $65,000,- 000 to grade and high schools, univer- reater burden of Iowa's tax upon the farmer.

But what a pitiful contrast as she came nearer. Her skin —what a shame! To think —a few words from me could have done so much for her. * * * Be thankful your own skin need never be “tragic”. The right care is so easy! Beauty experts will tell you any skin can be kept soft, youth- ful, exquisite. More than that, they gladly, freely, tell you how: Morning and even- ing, apply to face and throat a generous lather of Palmolive Soap and warm water. Work well into the pores with your hands. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water, and finish with a cold rinse. Hot water should never touch your face. After this,in the morning, your make-up. At night, if your skin is dry, follow with oil or tissue cream. Easy enough, isn’t it? And there’s no secret why Palmolive is rec- ommended. For years, more than 20,000 of the world’s leading beauty specialists have advised it above all other soaps for this foundation cleansing. The reason is told in full in the panel at right, under the heading, “Beauty In a Test Tube”. Please read it! Bathe, relax, beautify Some day, soon, when you're so tired youfeel like cancelling an engage- ment, try thisinstead! I learned it from a beauty specialist. It’s a beauty treatment, as well as a perfect way to relax. Shave up a whole bar of Palmolive—it’s very inexpensive, you know. Then melt it by boiling in 4 cups of water and pour the solution into your tub. Step in, and for a minute or so, simply relax.Then massage every inch of your body, every pore, with rich lather from another cake of Palmolive. The olive and palm oils will benefit your skin. When you get out, you'll find fatigue, nervousness, gone! You won’t want to cancel anything! And above all, sta:t at once on that twice-a-day Palmolive facial treatment. That’s most important for keeping your skin soft and supple, your complexion youthful. Try it for ten days, and see.
