Farmers Meet
Today at Chicago
in CO-OperatiYe Move

/ Chicago Nov. 10-For the second
time this year farmers of the country
meet here today to consider launching
of a national cooperative marketing
stock. After working nine months
a farmers livestock committee OF Is
named by the American Farm Bu-
| reau Federation brings in its report
today to ratification conference,
representative of livestock producers.
Unlike the national grain market
ing plan adopted last spring and in
corporated in the L. S. Grain Grow
ers. Inc, the livestock plan calls for
no pool nor contract covering a peri
cd of years.
Establishment Of a national live
stock producers association is one of
the outstanding features of the pro-
gram laid before today's meeting
More important yet. as the heart of
the plan, is the creation of co-opera-
! tive livestock commission assocla-
| tions at the various stockyards, with
Cooperative livestock commission
companies. which have recently
grown numerous, are to be strength
, ened. A program of orderly market
ing is to be worked out. A trans
portation department is 10 be created.
Livestock statistics are to he inter-
preted. In addition it Is advancing
public appreciation of meat as
food.
What the plan proposes to do. in
short, is to greatly extend the coop
erative marketing of livestock from
the farmer to the packinghouse, to do
this through national organization,
overseeing, dovetailing and working
out plans. and to eventually regulate
to a considerab BILE degree the flow of
livestock to the market so as to pre-
vent gluts and disastrous price
breaks
What is expected for the farmer is
a larger voice in the sale of his live
stock, a saving in marketing costs.
saving in purchase and sale of stock
er and feeder cattle and eventually
more stabilized market Through
large numbers of farmers marketing
together it is anticipated they may be
able to sell to better advantage than
the individual farmer does today.
IL the plan is ratified today, as it is
anticipated it will be, formation of
the National Livestock Producers
Association is expected at this meet
ing. Several cooperative livestock
commission houses have recently
been formed. and more will be estab-
Ished as soon as practicable.
The livestock business runs into
the hundreds of millions Of dollars
annually and proponents of the plan
anticipate a substantial share OF thi. |
but have no expectation of getting it |
all. Extension of the plan will chief. |

Collecting Franchise Taxes
From Delinquent Corporations

One of the duties devolving upon
the Office of the attorney general Is
the collection of the franchise taxes
from delinquent corporations organ
lied under the laws of this State. The
operation is not always as successful
in all cases. which results in the end
of the charter of the delinquent cor
poration being forfeited. The fact
that a corporation is behind with its
franchise tax is reported by the sec
retary of States department to the
attorney generals office, "and then"
said Deputy Attorney General VIM. H.
Fisher, I'VE go after them"
1--WE send them a nice little letter
! informing them that they have been
reported to us by the secretary Of
State as not having paid the tax and
give the amount due. We then call
| their attention to the provisions of
Chapter 9. Section % of the Revised
Statutes of Maine under which it is
the duty of the Office to apply to the
supreme court for a forfeiture of the
charter of the corporation and the
/ appointment of a receiver. Also to
/ the Idtt II ID ttlS dulS VI CNci
] director of the corpora ton to see that
its property is applied to the payment
/ Of it's debts, the claim of the State
! for franchise taxes being made a
preferred claim by specific provision
of the Statute Or. S. Chap. 9, Sec.
| o0)
| This franchise tax does not de-
pend upon the amount of business
done but it is tax on the privilege
I Of exercising the corporate franchise.
, The liability continues until a judicial
dissolution or the procuring of an
excuse in manner provided by law.
If the corporation has been adjud-
Gated bankrupt, we ask for the date
of the adjudica ton, the court OF ap-
plicatiOn and if possible the name of
the referee of trustee. If receiver
| ship proceedings have been instituted,
we ask the date of application, the
court in which it is filed and the
name of the receiver. ..
| TN the usual case we close our
little communication with a sugges-
! ton that a check for the amount due
made payable to State Treasurer w.
T.. Bonney will cancel the liability to
date and avert the necessity of
judicial proceedings and most OF them
promptly remit"

miles from Sidnaw, Houghton coun-
ty, Mich.
The plan. that is attracting con-
siderable attention among lumber
men. has as its basic principle the
conservation of Michigan's fast
dwindling timber supply.
The section chosen for the expert
ment is a part of Mr.. Fords holdings
in the upper peninsula. The idea, in
brief, is to remove from this tract
only the mature trees. Cnderbrush
and the wastewood left in numbering
operations are to be carefully cleared
away to protect the remaining trees
against fire. The young trees re-
naming will be permitted to attain
maturity. In the meantime they will
seed the ground about them and when
they, in turn are cut the next crop
will have been started. Thus har-
vests may be made in each of a peri
od of years indefinitely. One feature
space between the growing young
trees to permit their rapid develop
ment
Mr.. Ford and his associates admit
that the cost Of rearing trees in this
way will be greater than the present
expense of obtaining, lumber, but
point out that unless conservation
remedies are applied at once the fu-
ture will see the forests depleted and
that the country in the future will
pay dearly for its past neglect.
+. G. kingsford, a member of a
Ford concern said concerning the
venture and its possibilities:
Mr.. Ford is convinced that the
public interests demand a flynda-
mental change in treatment of our
forest wealth. The inevitable result
Of the present system will be denud-
ing of our forest lands. AS this de-
nudlng continues, lumber costs will
advance steadily, Finally denuda-
ton will be carried to a point where

The Governor Is Strongly
Opposed to Duty on Fuel Oil

Governor Percival p. Baxter in
statement issued Thursday declared
that he was opposed TO the duty on
fuel oil.
"The proposition to impose a duty
on fuel oil was defeated at the pres
ont session of Congress but is to come
before the new session" he said.
Governor Baxter is much interested
in this question and believes that
duty on fuel oil would impose hard
ship upon the people and the indus
tries of Maine. This State is de-
pendent unon an adequate supply OF
fuel and Governor Baxter is taking
the matter up with each member of
the Senate committee on finance and
with the Maine delegation at WASH
ington. hoping to prevent the placing
of such a duty on oil.
Owing to the scarcity OF coal dur
ing regent years. many of the indus
tries in the State have installed oil

Sweet Corn Situation

Division of Markets, State Depart
'ment of Agriculture, has returned
from a visit with several of the local
units Of the Maine Sweet Corn Crow
ers' Association. delivering addresses
before the locals at Mount Vernon.
Hollis, Gorham, Cornish, Harrison
and Readfield. Mr.. White, speaking
of the feeling of the growers as found
by him at these meetings. said:
II found the sentiment among the
farmer to be unanimous for conduct
| ing our farming on business
principle, according to their costs ac-
counts. They feel, inasmuch as the
growers of sweet corn have made
public the costs Of producing their
crops, a cordial agreement might cas-
lily be made with the packers, If they
would show the cost Of manufacture
and full explanation OF the situation
in which they find themselves. In
fact, the whole tendency seemed to be
toward looking at the situation from
viewpoint of meeting on common
ground, to promote the sweet corn in
dustry throughout the State"

Bebe Daniels In Zone
Wild Week" TODAY

Bebe Daniels unique and beautiful.
will be the star at the Colonial today.
"One Wild Week" is the picture in
which she will be seen, but it isn't
really wild week at all, only so far as
the girls imagination Is concerned.
Anyway, it gives the winsome Miss
Daniels good opportunity to play
in her own way good little bad
little girl"
This is the story OF an orphaned
heiress who has lived rather cheer
less life with an overbearing aunt un-
til her eighteenth birthday, when she
makes break and goes to the city
to visit an old friend of her dead
mothers. At least she starts for the
city home of Mrs. Brewster but
through a plausible combinat ton Of
circumstances, she really arrives at
quite another place.
There is likeable young man
played by Frank Kingsley. He meets
the girl early in the story, and be-
comes her champion from that mo-
ment. 1t is typical, however, that
when he goes back to the reforma-
tory-yes, that's where she landed
to assure her that he will get her re-
leased, she borrows his car and, with
three ether girls makes her own es-
cape right then. She has more ad-
ventures, however, before she finally
disposes of Aunt Emmas claim to
her fortune, and secures it to her
self-and her prospective husba nd.

the program, for the first episode of
winners of the West" a wonderful
historical and dramatic serial will he

pictures have been declared among
the most valuable products of the
