Waded to the Football Game

Two youths "earned' their way
past Patrolman Henry Buch at the re.
cent Central High-Steelton football
game on Island Park. While standing
at the entrance to the grounds, the
bluecoat saw crowd of boys start for
the water s edge to get past the gate
He intercepted them and then told them
they might as well go back, as he could
stay there longer than they could. All
of them obeyed but two venturesome
youths, who peeled off shoes and stock
ings and. rolling their trousers up to
their knees, started to wade past the
policeman. When knee-deep the police.
man threw stones into the water and
splashed them, the transgressors re-
treating into the river. Further and
further they went and finally, when
the water was up to their armpits, one
Of the boys shouted:
"Aw, officer, have heart"
The policeman weakened and, think
ing that they deserved to get past, he
permitted them to keep on wading,
Other policemen were stationed inside
to keep any one from beating his way
onto the stands, but it is not on record
that the two waders encountered an.
other bluecoat.

paying bounties on obnoxious birds and
animals, thus giving the farmers boy
an opportunity to earn dollar or two
Still the bill was not satisfactory;
then came the tag. The committee on
game had given public hearing. 1t
was evident the friends of the measure
had not made much headway. Mr. ].
b. SAMSON, of Pittsburgh editor of a
pamphlet founded by member of the
Game Commission, having in mind the
dog law, made the suggestion of a num-
bered tag that could be used as an
Identification mark. Farmer Weimer,
of Lebanon, and Farmer Surface, of
Harrisburg, the only farmers present,
at once endorsed it, and in this form,
with the assistance of the Harrisburg
member on the committee, it was sent
to the floor of the House. Its stormy
reception and defeat on third reading
by the House of Representa- tives its
recall to the calendar, and passage
under the whip of the Governor and
the gang, are matters of history.

The same section provides for the Game
Commission to furnish blanks to the
county treasurer and the county treas
urer to furnish blanks to the justices
of the peace. If any official has been
neglecting this duty he is responsible
and not the hunter who has complied
with the law.

department to delay the issuing of
licenses and tags until the first of Sep

sion, DR.. Kalbfus. told the writer and
friend that he had advised the U. S
officials who have the enforcement of
this law in charge, that the game
wardens in Pennsylvania were forbid
den to take any part in the enforce
ment of this law and that the depart
ment would sustain him in this posi-
ton.
This would seem to imply that inso-
FAR as the state was concerned, hunters
may hunt the nine months of the year.
Therefore, since the state alone is In
terested in the issuing of licenses, the
department can have no excuse for
withholding licenses until a few weeks
of the open season for upland game.

WRITES ABOUT GAME LAWS
s. HI. Garland Takes Issue With DR.
kaIbfus on Some Points

Editor the Star Independent:
Dear Sir-I hold in my hand copy
of the Star-Independent of Thursday,
October 22, the issue that contains an
article entitled ''Kalbfus Defends Ward
ems" in which the secretary of the
Game Commission points out the pur-
hunters to wear tags. also placing the
blame for the tags on the shoulders of
Mr.. Greasy, candidate for lieutenant
governor on the Democratic ticket. A
short review of the history of this bill
may refreshen the secretarys memory
as well as enlighten the public on this
point.
In the month of January. 1911, DR..
Kalbfus visited the Hunters and An
glers' Protective Association, in their
hall, corner Fifth and PETER streets.
After delivering an address he handed
out number of pamphlets, in which
license law by the 1911 Legislature was
urged This pamphlet bore the names
or all members of the Game Commits
sion, including that of the secretary.
In the Legislature of 1907 a bill SINH
lar to the one urged in the pamphlet
was defeated, largely by the vote of
the country members; a suggestion had
been made that if the farmer was ex-
empt from the provisions of the bill he
might be won over. The pamphlet en-
deavored to show that such provision
was unconstitutional and would destroy
the very fabric on which game ,protec-
belongs to all the people and for this
reason such concession could not be
given to any class of the people.
The bill introduced in the Legisla-
provisions, even requiring a license to
carry gun on the highways of the
state. At the public hearing before the
house committee on game the latter
clause was, pointed out by a farmer
member, who supported his argument
by. stating if a neighbor farmer was
called on to assist in the annual hog
butchering and brought his gun along
to Kill the hogs, he was liable to ar
rest. The objectionable clause was
was made to the farmer. The commit
tee, however, promptly defeated the
bill. Its friends brought it up in the
senate, with second concession to the
farmer, by providing that a farmer cul-
tiVating ten or more acres would he
exempt from the provisions of the law:
and thus did the Game Commission and
their friends reverse themselves and
pass up their argument in the pamph-
let that such concession would destroy
the very fabric on which game protee-
ton was built, but the farmer could
not be caught by this little bit of
sweetening and the measure was de-
feated in the senate.
The bill was again introduced in the
house in the 1913 session of the Legis-
lature. The constituency OF the coun-
try members had cautioned their repre-
sentatives to move slow, and more con-
words "ten acres" were stricken out,
thus allowing any one living on and
cultivating land to hunt without a
license; also allowing him to hunt on
his neighbors' land with his consent.
BY this concession hundreds were ex-
empt from the provisions of the bill
fourth concession was made by pro
viding one-half the revenue derived

In the language of the esteemed New
Germantown correspondent, this is
"cern 'husking time" Some persons
know not the date of their bi tn other
than it was in corn husking time, but
that is neither here nor there. In
dustrious men who are cut of work and
are willing to take an odd job even
temporarily have gone to the corn field
In the lower end of the county there
is an old gentleman who recently was
thrown out of employment and he now
can be found daily working at corn
shock. The corn stalks are bundled and
tied with a piece of tar rope and it is
one duty of the 'corn husker" to un-
tie and tie that string in connection
with the husking operation. The old
gentleman cut the string ON shock
just before searching for the yellow
ears. When the time arrived for re-
bundling the stalks he was puzzled. He
pulled and tugged at the string but
couldn t get it around properly to make
the tie. He didn't know what to do.
There was no extra string at hand and
he gave the job up for bad one. But
he knew the farmer would not permit
the stalks to lie around loose, so he ap-
Piled match and destroyed the shock.
''Ciever, wasn't itg'' he remarked
to his comrades, as the fire ate up the
stalks.

REDUCTION OF U. S. STEEL DIVIDEND

Much as it is regretted that the holders of the
common stock of the United States Steel Corpora
tion-including many persons OF moderate means
scattered through the entire country, among them
many of the gigantic corporations employees who
have been induced to buy the stock through the
operation of the corporation proht-sharlng plan
are to suffer reduced incomes the result OF the
action of the directors yesterday in lowering the
quarterly dividend, the of the directors IN
this connection be regarded as the only sale
and businesSlike one that they could have pursued
in view of the statement of earnings for the quarter
ended September 80, last, and the fact that there
is little prospect of earnings increasing in the I'M
mediate future
The directors reduced the dividend for the quar-
ter from IA per cent. to one-half of l per cent.
That is the dividend is reduced to the basis OF 2
per cent. a year as compared with per cent. a
year. the rate that had prevailed since June 1910.
After payment of the dividend at the lower rate
there will be left out of the earnings for the last
quarter an insignificant surplus of $S947 If the
dividend had been declared at the previously pre-
vang per cent. annual rate there would have
been deficit for the quarter of something like
100000.
Although there doubtless were some stockhold-
at the old rate by utilizing accumulated surplus
held over from other more profitable quarters, the
decision not to draw this surplus the wiser
1t is a dangerous policy for corporation to
pay out in the form of dividends for given period
more than it has actually earned in that period.
Such policy reduces surplus reserve and just to
that extent weakens the intrinsic value of the stock
AS Chairman Gary sad in explaining the action
OF the directors the reduction of the dividend was
made necessary by the present condition of the
business and the prospect for the immediate fu-
ture.' 1t is known that conditions in the steel
trade perhaps worse just than in any other
line of industry, due largely to the in Europe
In view of this it is far better business to conserve
surplus than to pay it out in the form of unearned
dividends, and the Steel Corporation directors can
not justly be criticised for the stand they have
taken in this matter.
The Corporation will be deserving of the most
severe criticism, however if the present nvestiga-
ton of its affairs being made by the Federal au-
thorlties establishes that the company is heavily
oyercapitalized. Criticism, and punishment toe, -
will be well merted for the directors responsible
If it is shown that the common stock has been wat
cred to an extent which prohibits the payment now
or at any other time Of the same dividend that
could have been paid had the capitalization been
limited to the intrinsic value of the property it is
supposed to represent
