STATES HAVE RIGHT
TO TAX CHANGE SEATS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 Omitted
Press.) - States and municipalities
can impose a property tax on mem
bership in the New York Stock Ex-
change. the Supreme Court today
held.
The court affirmed decisions of
lower courts holding that the Off
cials of Hamilton county, Ohio, can
tax the membership of John NJ. An
derson, Cincinnati, on the New York
Stock Exchange.
In this opinion the court declar-
ed membership on the exchange was
property right intangible, but
taxable.
1t pointed out that Anderson paid
100000 for the seat.
The court divided six to three on
the question, Justices Holmes Van
deventer and McReynolds dissent
ing
In his dissenting opinion Holmes
asserted the courts decision was
repugnant to constitutional princi-

these permits for operations were

The primary object OF the survey
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railway
was to find out the advantages OF
Wilmington as port of departure
and entry in view Of the construc-
ton of the marine terminals now un-
der construction at a cost Of ST.
372.570. According to Mr.. Bakers
investigation. the city is fully compe-
tent to support a port terminal OF

For one thing, the railroad exert

The citys rail facilities are de-
clared excellent, as also are the two
boat lines maintained by the Wilson
and the Bush companies. Labor con-
ditions, likewise, are commended, al
though the housing situation is de-

1t is the opinion OF Mr.. Baker, how
ever. that the housing situation Will
be relieved by the decline in build
ing costs.
Approximately 37.5 per cent OF
the homes in Wilmington, Mr.. Baker
figures, are owned by their occu-
pants-a healthy condition which

SACRAMENTO. Cal - Georga
Washington Lee has never chopped

battered down a lot of promising

Lee was born in San Francisco 81
years ago and shortly afterward the
family moved to Sacramento, into a
quarter of the city where George
had to learn to use his fists in order
to get an even break with the kids in
the neighborhood.
Good Start.
How well he succeeded was illus

asked permission to get into the ring
with somebody. Hoffman gave him a
chance-and George cleaned him up
as speedily and handily as his coun-
trymen clean up your shirt. Faster
opponents followed-and went the
same way

LIVING PRICE DROPS
PRECEDE WAGE DROPS.

In discussing present day business
problems, Frank B. Anderson, president
of the Bank Of California, makes the
following four striking points in tho
solution of the task of readjustment:
"First, the present revenue bill most
be changed, as it is the greatest con
tributor to the hghi cost OF living, il
destructive of initiative, encourages
extravaganza, is unjust in its workings,
taxes fictitious profits. il progressively
robbing working capital Of individuals
and corporations and fails to diserim-
mate between new capital and income,
although it is only through new CAPT
tai that the country grows.
Second, our Liberty bonds must be
absorbed by real investors. Bonds were
issued faster than our earnings could
absorb them, and individuals and cor
porations were forced to buy beyond
what was prudent, with the result that
banks are having to carry them. The
whole government debt should be re
funded to spread it over . longer peri
cd, as they attempt to pay it in the
time allotted is too great task for the
present generation
"Third, labor will have to be liqui-
dated, but price drops must precede
wage drops. Efficiency Of labor has,
been low and to the extent that this
efficiency is improved reduction in
wages can be avoided.
Fourth, the wohle world needs ex-
cess products of our soil and labor, but
has no money or credit to purchase.
Some means of funding trade balance
in our favor or extending credit to Eu-
rope must be found to enable her to
continue trade with us.
"This is time for sanity and cour-
age, not time for pessimism and
doubt. We must use such energy as
we possess to solve the problems which
confront us each day rather than 10
waste that energy in work. over some
thing which may never happen"

JAIL TURKEYS FOR A DAY
TO FIND THE HIDDEN NESTS

A quick and easy way to find stolen
nests of turkeys is to confne the birds
from early morning to late afternoon.
The laying hens will go straight to their
nests to lay the eggs which they are
holding, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. When turkey hens have free
range they usually nest in obscure
places and often wander mile or
more from home before they find nest
ing place that suits them.
If attractive nesting places are pre-
pared about the barnyard, the turkeys
sometimes lay in them. Such nests are
easily made from boxes or barrels, or
by scooping out a little earth in the
shape of . shallow bowl, piling brush
around it to satisfy the birds desire
for seclusion. The nest most preferred
by turkeys consists of barrel turned
on its side, in which straw OF hay IS
placed. When confined to breeding
pen several turkey hens may lay in the
same nest. Turkeys do not range far
during cold weather. In the north,
where the laying season often begins
when there is still snow on the ground,
the hens are more likely to select their
neste near home.
