LET US HOPE HE Is RIGHT
Congressman KinchelOe Does Not
Believe That Shortage OF
Print Paper Exists.

Washington, d. C.-In a state
ment issued by Congressman David
II. Kincheloe he declared he did not
believe any shortage OF print paper
exists and that there is a combina-
ton among the paper manufacture
ers to boost prices.
"The manufacturers of news print
paper started out in concert, in my
judgment, to create the impression
that there was a shortage of supply
1of paper in this country. and this
was the moving cause of the high
prices, and in order to convince the
newspapers of the fact of the short
age they would not fill in full an or
der for print paper. For instance,
when a newspaper would place an
order with a manufacturer for, say,
ter tons of news print paper, they
would sell this newspaper only eight
and one-half or nine tons, and give
&c their reason for so doing that pa
per was scarce and the supply was
diminishing every day. In this way
great many newspapers became
frightened and paid, if they were
able, whatever price the manufac-
turers asked, thinking that the sup
ply would soop be exhausted. In
this way many newspapers of the
country have been unjustly treated
and greatly imposed upon

BUYERS SEARCH
FOR MERCHANDISE
And Find Agents Hold
Views of High Prices
Despite
RECENT DROP IN QUOTATIONS.
British Clutch on Wool Supplies
Creates a Serious Situation
In This Country.
DOMESTIC WOODS, VERY HIGH

New York, Jan. Buyers are
beginning to como into the markets
more freely and most Of them are in
search of merchant. a few have
stated that they are here principally
to hurry deliveries on old orders
end to look over the situation pre-
ccding the meetings of the whole
sale jobbers next week. The buyers
who have been here three or four
days express surprise at the trmness
of agents in view of the cotton de-
cline since they were here last, and
as they are not being offered as
many goods as they anticipated, they
are at loss just how to diagnose
the condition of things.
There was less business doing in
the gray goods division than on Fri
day and Saturday. At the same
time prices Were firm and offerings
from mills did not show any in
crease. Some of the users of con-
vertibles are making more definite
inquiries concerning plain cloths,
and they are open now to listen to
offers on small lots.
No Chance For Lower Prices.
Merchants are finding much to in
foract than, in Tho affortS of rataiI-
ers to secure clearance sale business
at this time. The very positive
statements of the retail trade that
present prices are to be the lowest
of the year are readily understands
bic when some of the quoted prices
at retail are compared with costs of
replacement today. Undoubtedly a
great deal of the merchandise offer
ed at retail now has been held over
for two or three months, especially
in the piece goods lines. There is
little or no chance for retailers pick
ing up merchandise in the primary
markets at prices they are now quot
ing.
Visiting retail buyers are making
a critical examination Of the new
offerings of wash goods and white
goods novelties, and they are ready
to buy small lots of the higher
priced materials that are being
shown If they can find them in first
hands. The largest relative volume
of business ever booked on the high
er-priced wash>fabrics was done for
the coming season, yet the keen
search for still more novelties con-
tinues.
Wool Supplies a Problem.
In all divisions of the wooden in
dustry anxiety is expressed concern
ing the supplies of raw material
from abroad. The British Govern
ment is tightening its control of CO.

South American woods are quoted at
very high prices. Domestic woods

AGAINST PROPOSED

Editor Richardson OF the Glasgow
Times, is very much opposed 20 the
proposed taXing-llw, and has utili2-
ed quite a good deal of space in his
paper answering Secretary II. G.
Skiles, of the State League, who
takes exceptions to an editorial in
the Times of December 18th. The
Times proposes a tax of one cent Pc
bushel on coal and ten cents per
gallon on whisl2y as a means Of
wiping out the State debt, and fig
ures it out in an editorial in a recent
issue of that paper under the head
ing Astounding Figures" as fol-
lows:
Further investigation into the
Times proposition that, rather than
a revolution in the present taxing
system of Kentucky. a single amend
ment be made providing for ten
cent per gallon tax on whiskey and
a one-cent per bushel tax on coal,
reveals most astounding figures.
There were produced, last year
in Kentucky. 25.OOO,OOO tons Of
coal Reduced to exact figures, thi~
means $4,000, 100000 pounds. and
a yearly income to the State, at
one-cent per bushel of $G.250, 900
enough alone to eXtinguish the State
debt. and still leave ncarly %2r0G9,-
600 in the State treasury.
There were manufactured in
Kentucky, for the year 1916, 2,772,-
$50 barrels of whiskey. With a tax
of ten cents per gallon on this Ii
quor, the revenue for the State
would foot up, from this whisliey
alone, $11,O9O,72O-a sum that
would pay the state debt three times
over.
From the taxing of both coal and
liquor, at the rates proposed in the
Times, the income to the state would
be annually 7,340,72O, or an
amount sufficient to pay the State
out of debt four times over. These
amazing figures would open the eyes
of every taxpayer.
AS it is apparent that there would
be no necessity for such trench
dous surplus as this, The Times
makes the further suggestion that
one quarter of a cent tax per bushel
on coal would bring in a revenue of
81 ,565, 900. and a tax of five cents a
gallon on whiskey would at once
put $5,545,360 in the State treasury.
And these trifling taxes would mean
the extinguishing of the State debt
in one year, and a surplus of at
least $2,500,000 on hand in the
States banking account. 1t is a
rosy picture, and one based on the
coolest of cold facts.
Distinguishing the State deficit
of something like 100000 is as
easy as falling off a log. The coal
men ought to be forced to pay tax
for the manner in which they are
robbing the public at the present
price of coal, and the whiskey peo-
pie ought to stand a fiye-cents-on-
the-gallon tax for the general harm
liquor does. and the enormous fraud
perpetrated by the trade.
THE Times proposes to hammer
along this line, if it takes all the
year.
"If an extra session of the legis-
lature is called, it should be for
enacting a law taxing coal and Ii
quor, as above recitCd.-AND

When John Armstrong Chaloner es-
capped from a New York insane asylum
and telegraphed his relatives the per-
tinent question: "Who's looney now"
he merely gave currency to word
and connotation that are much older
than our language. Luna" is the
Latin word for moon, and "lunacy,"
which is derived from ''luna," has
been attributed to the baneful effect
of the moons rays since very early
times. Just as night air is thought
by primitive people to cause Ill health,
so the light Of the moon Is, believed
to derange the mind. A strict defini-
ton of the word climatic" is moon

In some Latin-American countries,
notably Haiti, the natives often may
be seen carrying umbrellas about with
them at night, during the light Of the
moon, to safeguard their mentality.

The Cormorant,

Milton mentioned the cormorant in
his poetical works and compared the
bird to Satan. The cormorant has a
habit, after diving. of perching on a
tree or rock with outstretched wings
as though it We're hanging itself out
to dry. 1t will remain motionless in
this attitude for long time.
Cormorant fishing is carried on BY
certain classes of the Japanese at
night, and in their boats they carry
braziers with flaming wood fires to
attract the fish. 1t has been written
that the imperial household depart
ment of Japan, in order to protect
and aid this old practice of fishing,
pays small yearly pension to the
professional fishers and allows them
free access to certain forests that they
may have wood to feed the fishing
fires in the braziers.
