Taxing Soldiers Cigarets
A nice legal problem has arisen with regard to
the operation of post exchanges in the numerous
mi'*ary posts scattered throuah every state.
Has the state a right to ic.- cigarets and other
similar supplies sold through suth agencies? It de-
pends whether a post exchange is an instrumentality
of the federal government conducted as a necessary
part of army operation. A post exchange is usually a
voluntary, unincorporated set-up virtually a non-
profit cooperative, supervised by, but not actually
run by, army authorities. If it is a federal institution
tied in as an indispensible part of army operation,
states probably connot tax supplies sold through
them. But if running a store is a mere convenience
to soldiers, and its stocks are not the property of the
United States, states may assert (and some of them
have) their right to tax.
Army canteens and post exchanges are likely to
be around for a long time in increasing numbers.
Their volume of business will be an item. So there's
one for legal wits to whet themselves upon!
Women And Children First?
It is good to see a sudden solicitude for women
and children. The Italians are reported to be seeking
an arrangement to evacuate to safety 80,000 women
and children, colonists in Ethiopia.
We hope it will be possible to do this; that the
British will be able to blot out for the moment the
picture of their own women and children blown to

• LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Borger, Texas
Feb. 12, 11)41
Editor J. C. Phillips,
Borge. Daily Herald.
It was with a great deal of sur- j
prise that 1 read the Letter to the ¡
Editor column last Monday, in
which a gasoline plant employee;
states that he has seen fliers usup- j
poscdly from Borgifficrowhoppoig
over gasoline plants and storage
i tanks, In the hopes of righting j
any wrong impression which might
have been formed by the readers
of this column pertaining to the
flight of aircraft in this vicinity, 1
would like to say that as far as 1
know, there are no Borger pilots
who would fly as low as this gen-;
tleman said he has seen them, In
the first place, the Civil Aeronau-
tics Regulations say that the min-
! imum altitude for aircraft in open
¡ country is 500 feet, but over high
; explosive arid danger areas, never
, under 1000 feet, and at all times at
i such nn altitude that n safe land-j
j ing may be made outside the area. 1
i Now, no sensible pilot is going to
risk losing his license by willful- j
ly violating this rule, after he has
spent all the time ami money that
it takes to get a license.
In the second place, one of the i
first things a student pilot learns
it, that there Is safety tn altitude, j
He learns that it is dangerous to
make a turn closer than 500 feet j
from the ground, and that if the !
place should stall close to the¡

earth, there would be no chance
of ret very to normal flight. Be-
ing a flier. I know from experience
that these facts are pounded into
every student, and I believe there
are very few fliers who will take
such chances when they know the
usual results of such practices.
The Hutchinson County Pilots
Association 'which is composed of
these "embryo Rlckenbackers")
was formed to iricitmse safety in
private flying in this vicinity, and
the Tact that there are some 15
to 20 planes flying around the air-
port at various times or at the
same time, and no accidents as yet,
speaks for itself. We all know that
when Hymji over a gasoline plant,
altitude is our greatest .suft-guar''.
1 would like to invite the gaso-
line plant employee to visit the air-
pi rt, and to notice that as each
plane takes to the air it climbs for
precious nltiture before beginning
any maneuvers, I would also like
to suggest that if this gentleman
sees any more low-flying planes
over his plant, that he fake the li-
cense number of the ship and re-
port it, either at the airport or to
to the H. C P. A. The license
numbers are on the bottom of the
left wing of a plane, and should
be easy to see if the plane is fly-
ing low.
John Hallford
P S. It would be hard to read
the license number if plane is fly-
ing 1,000 feet or higher—which is
a test anyone can make.
