LEVERS MEASURE

\ Washington, March 29.-The Lev
er bill authorizing the census director
i to collecet and publish monthly stat

products was passed by the house
late to-day after an all day debate and
now goes to the senate.

mite gave notice that he would call
up next week the Heflin bill directing
the bureau to collect and publish sta

ufacture of explosives during 1915
and quarterly thereafter.
| In reporting the Lever bill, Repre-
sentative Aswell of Louisiana said it
was drafted after conference with
the census director and that it would
afford an opportunity of making free
application of the law of supply and
demand.
"The census bureau now provides
for collection of statistics from all the
oil mills regarding the quantity of
cotton seed crushed and linters OBJ
tained," he said "This bill, however,
provides for amplification of these
statistics and makes mandatory the
publishing of them at stated periods:
The additional expenses probably will
l. be about $4,000 with less annually
after the first year.
The census committee report on the
bill said:
"This bill rounds out and COM
pletes the statistics being collected
by the bureau of the census concern
ing the cotton crop. 1t provides for
the collection of data for all products
of the cotton plant which are of COM
mercial value.
"There has ben a great deal of
speculation and manipulation of the
prices of cotton seed and its products:
The prices have been increased and
decreased without regard to the &C
tual production or to the quantities OF
seed and oil on hand. This law will
| enable the director of the census to
give the producer information con-
cerning the quantities of cotton seed
purchased by the oil mills and the
stocks on hand end it will furnish the
oil man with information of this
character and also with statistics con:
cerning the quantities of crude and
refined oil, meal and cake on hand,
the quantities of oil purchased by the
refineries and the stocks on hand at
given dates. :,
"This information will lend great.

people engaged in the industry to
obtain accurate statistics that will

OUR POSTAGE STAMPS
ARE LIGHTER IN COLOR

Washington, D. Given when

faces a shortage in German dyes.
This was admitted by Director Joseph
E. Ralph, of the Bureau of EngraV-
ing and Printing, when his attention
was called to a statement in the
North German Gazette that lack of
German dyes had caused a change
in the colors of some American pos
tage stamps.
One billion stamps are printed by
the bureau every month.
"It is true" said Mr.. Ralph, that
the lack of German dyes has resulted
in a slight change in the color of our
stamps. The red 2-cent stamps are
lighter. The Scent stamp, which
used to be olive green, is yellowish
green. Slight color variations may
be noted in other stamps, as we have
been without German dyes for about
eight months.
"We have been forced to use what
you might call adulterated colors,
either imported or domestic. These
cost more and are not so good. l

the question open as to the ultimate
goal to which the German overtures
will lead. It is generally agreed that
so long as the door to peace is not
closed and locked with definite
click or else thrown wide open, there
will be an unsettled market to re-
fleet varying emotions which the
near end or other give rise to. Trad
ing in securities today was largely
in the hands of the professional ele-
ment.
At the opening today prices were
generally firm but after the first fiji
teen minutes selling began and prices
lost from 2 to 4 points in the first
hour or so. At midday there was some
show Of recovery but this movement
was brief. In the early afternoon the
industrial shares again eased off. Re
ports from Washington in the after
noon to the effect that the govern
ment was considering peace sugges-
ton to be made entente belligerents
in the near future, accelerated the al
ready heavy selling movement result
ing in the late trading in a violent
break in the general list Of 1 to II
points. L. S. Steel touched the low
est level Of the present movement at
10S. Utah Copper was the reacti on
airy feature in the copper group, losing
more than four points.

LICENSE
,ON FISHERMAN
State Fish and Game Warden Would
lave Anglers Bear Some
Expense.

It's>true that someone is always
taking the Joy out of life. It's bad
enough to go fishing and catch moth
ing, and to have your friends jeer at
your luck, but now the fish warden
is recommending license for the
fishermen.
b. c. Hinshaw, state fish and game
warden, recomnends in his annual
report, that all persons wishing the
privilege Of fishing in the lakes and
rivers of Iowa be required to pay an
annual license fee of 81.
SThe warden proposes to put the
fishermen on the same basis as the
hunters The hunters now pay fee
of 81 annually.
The proposed measure would per-
NIT women and boys under II tc
fish without securing licenses
The measure to license fisherman
was first proposed four years ago. 1t
then created storm and the legis-
lature took no action on the bill. The
state game warden believes that the
sentiment has changed in the mean
time and that there are many per-
sons who now favor the licensing of
fishermen as well as hunters.
By placing a license tax on fish
ing, the revenue of the state fish
and game department, which now is
almost 100000 year, would be
doubled, the warden believes.
The department now is operated
entirely on the revenue paid in by
the hunters, he says. The law re-
quires the departm ent to spend a
big share of the hunters fund in
restocking the streams Of the state
with fish and in the enforcement Of
the laws protecting the fish. Mr..
Hinshaw, in his report says this Is
not fair. He declares that the IN Eli
who hunt and are willing to pay Az
annual fee for the privilege, should
not be required to pay all of the ex-
pense of providing good fishing in the
lakes and rivers Of the state. That
burden should fall on the fishermen,
he believes.
During the late summer and fall Of
1916, the department placed 100000
fish in the lakes and rivers of the
state. The fish car was operated as
late in the fall as the weather per-
mitted. ~ "
