PAGE TWELVE ALTON EVEWIHO TELEGRAPH It's a Great Life, Is Verdict of the But Auto Homes Are Just a fill With winter urging them southward, thousands of the growing army of trallerltei follow the sun. One of a dozen trailer at St. Petersburg, IB shown at top, while below, the E. G. Grosses of St.

Paul, take their ease on the "porch" of their rolling home, complete with shell-Bordered paths, embryo landscaping, and pet police dog. The tralleritc just plugs in on the city current, at Miss Dorothy Hill of Herkimer, N. is doing in this picture. Social events are readily organized In the colony, and, like Miss Jane E. Piper of Tyrone, the trallerlte "dresses up." After the party a midnight snack Is nice.

So, like Miss Anna Louise of Columbus, back you to to your trailer-home to rai dthe Icebox, as you used to do in the old home. What About Tax Utilities Service? Dozens of Puzzles Cost of Schooling Just One of the Many Problems To the names of Charles Lindbergh, William Lemke, Steve Brodle, and all the other during ones who took a chance for a cause, add now the name of HII- dred Gumarsol, Gumarsol, a Pontiac, factory worker, has succeeded In getting the auto trailer into the Jaw books. It cost Gumarsol a $1 fine and $3.10 In costs to do it. But he started what will no doubt become a long, long trail of trailer law. Gumarsol drove his trailer on to a vacant lot in the residential section of Orchard Lake, Mich.

He paid a satisfactory rental to the lot owner, took off the trailer's wheels and settled down for what he hoped would be a pleasant and peaceful summer. Trailer Owner Banned But the citizens of Orchard, Lake, especially those who llv from the Income from summe cottages, saw a dark menace in Gumnrsol's stationary trailer. They whispered together. Then one of them noticed tha the comfy little cubicle didn't have 500 cubic feet of space for each occupant. A local zoning ordl nance provides that Orchard Lake dwellings must provide 500 cubic feet of ozone per occupant.

A local court promptly held Then, when bedtime comes, the couch becomes a bed, Mrs, J. Locke of Petoskey, tucks her little daughter Peggy into the sheets for a pleasant and untroubled night's rest What a life! far can they go with this without interfering with the free flow of commerce so jealously guarded by the Constitution and the U. S. Supreme Court? Will the federal government, In the interest of free intercommunication between states, subsidize those states to maintain their trailer roads? California Asks U. Aid California has already asked the federal government for money to provide schooling for 500,000 children of families who follow the sun to California.

If the federal government refuses, and if Call- Heavy Shipments From South Drop Wheat 3 Cents for the first time, that a trailei is a house, And Hildred Gumnr- sol was fined and sent on his way first legal martyr of trailerlsm. With literally millions of peop! taking to the road In trailers, the open season on legal questions now declared. If a trailer 1s house, are ltd occupants and of what locality? What About Tuxes Can they be taxed wherever they take the wheels from under their or even if they don't? Can they demand running water, electricity, gas, fire and police protection, garbage and trnsh removal service, Just like anyone else living within the city? Have they the right to send tholr children to school In whatever community they chance to burrow in for tho winter? Thnt Is the flold In which the law is now scurrying about for a lot of Gumarsol is only the pioneer of the coming trailer host. Taxation Is the foremost lem. What is the "wetunl or habitual place of abode" of the man whom Ohio can tax only If such "habitual place of abode" is within that state for the greater part of the year before tax dny? If our trailerlte onco lived In Cleveland, but started trailing and never stayed In any one state more than three months, what will levy on his stocks ami his personal properly, and the license for the trailer Itself? Licenses $2 and $12 Carveth Wells, world-travek and newest of the "Folding Bed oulns," reports that ho paid $2 license his two-wheeled trailer i Connecticut.

In Illinois he bough new four-wheeled trailer, ant the license for that in Illinois wn $12, The trailer license situation I confused. States do not prob- fomla likewise refuses to tax itself to educate the children of hese strangers, we may be on the way to rearing a race of real gypsies. Even if California is willing, ms its legislature the right to levy axe.i on its citizens to educate he children of people from other lates? It is more than possible hat some grudging taxpayer could to pay taxes for any such purpose, sue, and be upheld. It Is well known that taxes can be levied to provide Jails for the upport of vagrants. But a man raveling with his family in an 800 auto and a trailer, with unda for gas, oil, and grub, is ardly a vagrant.

Hero's Punllng Question Suppost a town wants to trallerites and their poten- al purchasing power. Private capital may build trailer parks with water, gas, sewer, laundry, kitchen, and store facilities. But if It doesn't, can the town do it? Here again, taxpayer suit might halt the action, on the ground that providing such a park no proper function of municipal government. There are many suits in court today aimed at stopping cities from engaging in what have been traditionally private lines of business. Suppose, however, -a private citizen has means and facilities to open a private trailer park.

Can the city prevent him? Atlantic City N. with its gigantic hotel facilities, has by ordinance forbidden a trailer to enter the town. Orchard City, required a license fee of $100 an acre on land used as a trailer park. Can a city refuse to permit her public utilities to serve such a trailer park, If private Individuals build it? This has not yet been tested. Ciiplinl Tries Monopoly Can a city take monopoly on the trailer camp business, force all trallerites to stay at its official camp, and limit their stny? Wash- ngton, D.

already has a single Irnller park on the banks of the 1'otomac. It forbids any others be- started. provides that local trallerites not use the park, and visitors stay for two weeks only, Can such ordinances be upheld In the The tests are yet to come. hintc there is no legislation offi- 'lally declaring that trailer camps are nuisances, It Is hard to see how uch ordinances as those cited can upheld. Foreseeing this, Palm Beach, ftg declared trailer within the city limits to be uilsanecs, and has forbidden them Argentine Grain to Liverpool Brings Break at Chicago CHICAGO, Jan.

Mr. Dormann has been providing food for the birds in the parks. He calls attention to the fact there are many birds we all admire which remain here all winter.

With snow on the ground they are hard put to it for food, unless there Is a general thoughtfulness of the people to strew some food where they can find it and preserve their lives. Superintendent Dormann recommends that residents both in the rural districts and in the city cooperate and take upon themselves responsibility for providing food for the birds scraps from the table, raw fat, meat. He suggests that chunks of suet wired into a tree so cats cannot carry it off, will "help keep the birds alive.

Farley as Postmaster General today and the Senate quickly confirmed him. The nomination was approved by unanimous consent without being referred to committee.

The Senate also confirmed the nominations of Charles Edison, son of the inventor, as assistant Secretary of the Navy; Admiral William D. Leahy, as chief of Naval Operations; and Brigadier General Thomas Holcomb as major commandant of the Marine Corps for four years. Under the law, the President it required to rename his Postmaster General' at the start of a new administration because the letter's term is coextensive with that of the chief executive. He is not required to renominate any other cabinet members. Although Farley has indicated frequently he Intended to return tp private business, the ment was interpreted as a desire on his part to remain in the cabinet at least for the time being.

Other nominations sent to the Senate included that of Roswell Magill of New York, to be undersecretary of the Treasury. He will succeed Thomas J. Coolidge, who resigned last year.
