REVENUE LAWS; 1912, 1913,

Washington, D. C.-Director Wm. J. Harris, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, announces that bull letin containing a digest of the laws relating to the revenue sys- tems of the state and local gov ernments has been completed and is now ready for distribution The bulletin describes in detail the different sources of revenue in each state, including general property taxes, poll taxes, the in- heritance tax, corporation tax es, the income tax, and business taxes, licenses, and fees, and Tn the case of the general property taxes enumerates the classes Of property subject to such taxes, | the methods of assessment, equalization, and collection, and the statutory limitations of the rates of such leVies.
 The laws relating to taxation, as shown by the present bulle- tin, have undergone great chang es since 1902, which was the date of the last report on this subject issued by the Bureau of the Cen sus. Among the changes to be noted has been the creation ot numerous tax commissions in the various states, having wide dis cretionary powers over the ad- ministration of the work of To- cal officials connected with tax ation, and full power over the assessment of the property of
 corporations doing business m two or more counties ot the same state.

GOVERNOR DELAYS
 ACTS PROCLAMATION

Governor Hays has not yet is- sued a proclamation relative to the acts which were adopted at the last election. The State cleo tiOn board canvassed the returns a week ago.
 Friends of all the measures in- volved are much interested in the proclamation, not that they feel that either of them has fail ed of passage but because it is the general opinion that it re- quires the formal proclamation of the governor to make them effective. Neither the child la bor law nor the publicity act is in force until they are officially declared to have been approved by the voters.
 It is thought that the procla- nation will be issued not later than the last of this week, al though the governor himself has not intimated just when the an |nouncement will be made
 In some quarters the opinion is maintained that the laws are effective anyway, as soon as it is determined that they have Ia majority of the votes cast thereon.

Setii bO POiSOllCu WItH dfSG0lc sprays. It punctures the stems of the affected plant in such a manner as to cause girdling. thus depriving it of nourishment ard causing it to become yeollow and die off above the girdled area.
 The adult insects pass the winter in a more or less dor mant condition, under punches of wild grass, dead leaves, brush weeds etc., in the latitude of southern Virginia, but may re- main active most of the winter in the extreme portion of the affected territory. The eggs are deposited in the stems of the plants behind leaf sheaths and some times at the surface of the soil, during the first warm days of spring, in southern Virginia. but as early as February in Ari- zona, and southern California.
 The life cycle from egg to adult occupies, roughly speaking from 50 to 60 days. Thus in the latitude of Southern Virgi- mia there are probably two an- nual broods, but in southern Ari- zona and California as many as four broods may occur. The ter ritory mianly affected by the in sect may be roughly indicated as all that portion of the country south of latitude 35 degrees, al- though the insect occurs throughout almost the entire country excepting the Rocky Mountains and Cascade Range plateaus. It feeds upon many plants, chiefly those of the bean family, but is mainly injurious to alfalfa clover, and cowpea.
 The chief means of controlling the three-cornered alfalfa hop per is by destroying it's hibernat- ing places Thus, all punches of rye and other wild grasses, weeds, brush, rubbish, etc., in or about affected fields, in fence corners, along ditch banks should be burned or otherwise destroy ed during the fall or winter months, after the insects have ceased feeding and have become dormant. Pasturing affected fields, where practicable, has been found beneficial. Harvest ing affected alfalfa immediately after egg laying has occurred will also probably prove some- what effective.
 The local outbreak in Virginia is probably due to the peculiar meteorological conditions pre- vailing during the past year. A mild, short winter was followed by an unusually hot, dry sum- mer, both of which conditions favored the extreme multiplica- tion of the species.

CARY'S idea OF
THE OUTLOOK
Tells Steel Corporations
Heads They Should Con-
serve Cash Resources.
CALLS UNDERLYING
CONDITIONS SOUND
Where Employees Are Laid OF
Rent Should Be Suspended,
Says the Judge.

Comments OF Ebert II. Gary. chairman
OF the United States Steel Corporation
on the business situation at recent
meeting Of the presidents Of the corpora
tion's subsidiaries were made public yes
terday. Asserting that underlying condi-
tions are sound, Judge Gary said that fut-
ure business depends upon the intentions
OF those who are in authority at the seat
OF government
"'There is no ground for fear in regard
TO the financial condition Of the coun-
try" he added. ut seems to me. on the
whole. We have been getting stronger ana
stronger from year to year, and that the
suggestions OF possible financial distress
are calculated to make the banks and the
money interests more diligent i'm protect
ing themselves against disaster. We now
have the government figures. which show
the agricultural products OF the year
amount In value to $4,000 100000, and
with the energy and activities OF q great
and growing population there is bound 10
be a great deal OF business.
Nevertheless there are certain things
that we are aware Of which We must not
overlook. II seems to me il would be Inn
possible TO enact legislation such as the
income tax law, the radical change in the
tariff laws. the currency law and pos
sible revision OF the present plan OF con-
trolling the large corporations called
trusts without producing a severe ner-
vous shock TO financial and commercial
affairs"
Judge Gary told the presidents OF the
Steel Corporations subsidiaries that they
should be prepared for longer depression
in business than is now expected. He
warned them TO conserve their cash re-
sources. declaring that if they were forced
to borrow large sums Of money on short
time notes, as some railroads have done,
IL would have not only bad effect upon
the credits of the country. but have de-
cided influence in bringing about finan-
cial panic.
lone OF the elements OF great strength
in the financial condition OF the country
during the last few years, he continued,
has been the large amount OF cash re-
sources in the possession and control OF
the United States Steel Corporation and
its subsidiaries.
But necessary expenditures should al
ways be made. Foremost under that head
! would say any money you can pay out
TO increase the safety OF your employees
is necessary and proper. Never hesitate
to request appropriations which are cal
culated 10 prevent accidents to your en-
ployes. Such requests will be promptly
approved"
Judge Gary deplored the fact that a
large number Of employees are being laid
off at this time. He advised the officials
under him 10 watch such cases very
closely and where families were unable
TO pay rent to suspend the rent until they
were able to pay.

Generally Firm Tone Prevailed
Throughout the Day-Good
Volume of Buying.

While the proximity Of the New Years
holiday tended 10 check aggressveness in
the trading on the Consolidated Stock
Exchange, the tone OF the market was
generally firm throughout the day. There
was good volume OF commission house
buying, with sentiment exhibiting i'm
provement. The damper put upon the
market by Tuesdays announcement OF a
receivership for a large department store
combination appeared TO be wearing off.
In the floor discussion some attention was
paid 10 Mexico because OF reports of q
coming administration conference re-
gardng the situation in that country, but
these reports failed TO exert bearish
effect. Prices on the $50 o'clock opening
call reflected a degree OF irregularity. but
there were more advances than declines,
compared with Tuesdays closing figures.
