UsnatHned his ideaa aa to the Im-
Krtance of haraa6n anfi co-operatibii
tweea the execijttte and legislative
branches ot tbe State government Ifr.
davidson asserted that harmony and co-
pration were absolutely essential to the
juocesa of any prtjeet W .undertaking
where number of interests were en-
gaged in auch undertaking .
...- Among the important matters to be
considered according to Mr. Davidson
. was the soifrce of the revenues needed to
financ the State for the succeeding two
years. Ur. Davidson declared that the
present tax burden composed mostly of
the federal tax burdens was almost ta-
tolerable and that ft was up to the legis-
la turf to avoid any action that could un-
pom greater federal burdens on the
State-' Expressing it as his opinion
thatch States rarely received $1 from
federal government for any proposi-
ction without being stung for approxi--
snatelv $10 in return Mr. Davidson as
ertej It as his best judgment that while
vtherefcwas litUe likehhood of successful
. measnres being adopted to decrease the
presebt' burden of federal taxation it
was nossible and nracticallv mandatory
f upon the legiidature to prevent any ac-
oo jnat would at alt increase or add' to
tMnresent burden-
f Wlen states receive federal aid for
Toadet achoolv and other institutions Mr.
Davidson asserts that probably not less
Jian Jen for one is the ratio of exchange
between the federal government end the
Stntep to the advantage of the former?
Emphasizing strongly the necessity for
. rlaeeeonomy in appropriations Mr.
" Davijson said thtt it is the duty of tbe
' legisiture to rescind any appropriations
that ynay be discovered to be more than
J the ictual situation requires. Asserting
' that Ihe governor's plea for economy
jneeti with the approval of vertually
e"rerf..eitien in the State and with the
; desire' of every senator as well Mr.
Davitson said that a program running in-
' to the) millions which seeks new objects
"of attack for the tax gatherer is not a
.: program of economy.

Southern Pine Good for
Paper Experiments Show
Associated Press Report.
MADISON Wis. July 18. Establish-
ment of paper mills in the Southern
States is all that is needed to utilise
much Southern pine for the manufacture
of book paper tbe Forest products labor-
afory here announces. Its experiments
are said to have determined that pulp
made from one variety of pine is suit-
able for this purpose.
Sduthern pine has often been sug-
gested as a possible supply of material
for pulp purposes but experiments met
with failure until the local laboratory
working with loblolly pine successfully
turned out book paper by the sujphate
process.
Further experiments will be made here
with other varieties of Southern pine to
determine whether they will be equally
adaptable to (he manufacture of pulp.
What work has been done with other
woods from the South black and tupelo
gum. swamp maple and other similar ma-
terial shows that they are all substan-
tially as well suited for the purpose as
the loblolly pine and the red gum the
engineers say.
