OF INTEREST TO
 THE RIFLEMEN

Washington, D. C. April 10th. A meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Association was held on Saturday, April 9th, to consider the situation brought about thro' the failure to raise the neces- sary funds to finance the rife teams it proposed sending to Ar gentina and Sweden. The com mittee felt that the abandoning of at least one of these teams was imperative and which team to drop was a difficult question to deter mine as donations had been made specifically for each. Certain parties made a proposition to the committee that if they would ap- propriate all the funds subscribed to date to the Argentina team that the deficiency would be made good to send that team. After a careful consideration of the offer the com mittee decided to accept same, thus assuring the carrying out oi the plans in relation to our being represented at the International Pan American Tournament to be held at Buenos Aires in May, This team willssail from New York on April 2oth.
 In regard to the "Olymic" team the association is now in posi- ton where it started and is now confronted with a proposition of having to raise notless than S5,ooo with the next four weeks or give up sending a team. To raise this amount would be small matter if the fife shooting fraternity of the country would come to the support oi their National As socition and each do something however small to save the associa- ton from the humiliation of having to announce to the world the in- ability of the United States to finance a representation of its rifiemen to the Olymic Games.
 National Guard Organizations, rifle clubs and associations and individual rifemen, will you help to uphold our rife shooting tradi- tions and reputation for sports manship by sending in a subscrip- ton to help send the Olympic team?

the law requires this recording
that the public may have such in
formation. Then he says that
public utility franchises shall be
taxed under this first amendment.
It is true the amendment says so
but how will it work?
When men get together and
form a corporation, the tranSac-
ton is purely voluntary on their
part. They do not have to if
they do not want to. Under our
present law which only taxes
corporations reasonably along
with all other persons, men TO in
corporate and do business as cor
pOrations in Missouri. But you
know that if we put a tax on cor
poratiOns large enough to cut any
considerable figure, men will not
take advantage Of their right 70
incorporate. Then too, all public
utility corporations not in cXis-
tance have their rights fixed and
the price or revenue they shall
pay for their rights is fixed by cX
listing laws and contracts. And
the State of Missouri can not
pass a law impairing the existing
obligations of those contracts
without violence to the federal
constitution. If you do not
believe me, ask your lawyer

of it. The chairman of the Fcls

called it: "In Missouri a measure
has been prepared providing for

what it is, and there in that as
