II BOND ISSUES
BEFORE BOARD
State Tax Commission to Act
Under New Law.

Seventeen bond cases already have been
brought to the State board of tax com
nissloners under the law enacted at the
last session Of the Legislature, Philip
Zoercher. a member of the board, an
nounced today. The law provides that
local bond issue proposals shall be ap-
pealed TO the tax board on petition Of
ten taxpayers and that it shall pass on
all bonds bearing an interest rate of more
than per cent Mr. Zoercher said most
Of the cases are appeals.
The comparatively large number of
cases already brought to the tax board
bears out the contention that the new
law would be little different from the
original Goodrich tax law in that the
board would be called on to pass on
nearly every issue. The old law required
II to pass on all bond issues.
Indications are that the board will be
swamped with bond issue appeals and
petitions At the same time 1t must
begin its work of making original assess
ments next Monday. This must be done
despite the fact that there are only two
members Of the commission, vacancy left
by the resignation of Fred A. Sims not
having been filed.
It has been reported that William c.
Harrison, secretary Of the board, may re-
celve the appointment.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.


Wei, the little bear I told you about
in the last story led Puss down mar
row path till they came to an opening
in a great rock. And, oh, my, 1t looked
dark inside, but the little bear wasn't
afraid. so Puss followed him.
Well. the little bear lit candle, set
it down on piece Of rock and took out
Of his pocket key and fitted 1t into
an iron door, but before he opened the
door he turned to Puss and said: Don't
he frightened at anything you see or
hear. Only you just remember to say
rBumpty bumpr If you are asked a
question" So Puss nodded, and the lit
tie bear opened the door and in they
went 1t was as bright as day in the
big cave where Puss found himself. and
at a little table In the middle of the
place sat twenty-one little dwarfs count
ing gold pieces.
"And what are you doing here?" they
asked, all in one voice.
"Bumpty bump!' replied the little
bear
And what are you doing here?" they
asked Puss. And, oh. dear me. For a
moment he forgot what the little bear
had said And If he hadn't said Bump

thing dreadful might have happened.
Then all the little dwarfs looked
frightened to death. and they whispered
together and tried to hide the bags of
gold under the three-legged stool. But
the little bear stood perfectly still, and
of course, Puss did just what the little
bear did, for he didn't know what else
to do, you know.
Well, pretty soon one of the little
dwarfs said, what do you want?" And
the little bear and Puss replied, both ut
the same time, "Bumpty bumpp And
then the little dwarfs looked at each,
and oh. dear me, how they did scowl
But pretty soon one of them filled two
small bags with gold and brought them
over to Puss and the little bear
"Bumpty bump!" said the little bear
"Bumpty bumpl" said Puss with a bow,
and then the little bear opened the door
and he and Puss went out through the
long passage till they came to the first
cave, and pretty soon after that they
came ont into the sunlight a0ain.

ORIGIN OF APRTL FOOL.

Q. How did April Fools Day originate?
NJ. e. c.
A Various theories have been ad-
vanced as to the origin OF the celebra-
ton of "All FOOLS Day" One writer
traces the custom to the Miracle Plays
formerly presented at Easter, another
finds the origin in some ancient Pagan
festival such as Hull, the festival held
by the Hindus on March 31st or the
Feast of the Fools celebrated by the
Romans on February 18th. At the latter
celebration tricks similar to those OF
the present day were played upon the
various victims of the funmakers. The
custom of celebrating IAN Fools Day
seems to have been unknown to German
antiquity. 1t is thought to have been
introduced into Germany from France In
comparatively modern times

HIT
CANCELLATIONS
National Movement Combata
Foreign Importers De-
mandS.

NEW YORK. March 31.-A country
wide campaign has been inaugurated by
the National Association Of Credit Men
to coordinate the interests Of exporters
for the purpose of obtaining concerted
action In dealing with the numerous de-
mands of foreign importers, particulars
" by those located In Latin American
countries. for outright cancellation Of
orders, indefinite extensions and unrea-
sonabIe discounts.
"A number of such requests today"
said B. B. Tregoe, director of the for
eign department, ARE prompted by des-
perate necessity and should be given
earnest consideration. On the other hand
many of these importers undoubtedly
visualize United States exporters as pos
sessing inexhaustable capital and in con-
sequence assume that the granting OF
years extension or Of so per cent dis
count entails no greater >9ncern than
the mere stroke Of a pen.
Merchants making sue demands IN
many cases have found themselves with
a stock of high priced merchandise on
their hands which has to be paid for
at a deprecated exchange rate. The ten
dency to follow the path of least re-
sistance becomes Irresistible, resulting
in an endeavor to place the entire bur-
den upon the shoulders of the exporter
whose wealth is supposedly unlimited
THE sooner foreign buyers are brought
to a realization of the true state of af-
fairs the better it will be for export
trade. 1t is only right and proper that
our exporters should lend whatever as
sistance possible to their foreign Gus
toners. but it is entirely out of order
that they should be consistently imposed
upon.
"a demand for broad concession when
received individually by an exporter us
ually constitutes q matter of considerable
puzziement as to a proper method OF
procedure. The recipient may feel con-
WINGED that the demand Is unwarranted
but in the absence of data as to the
action of other creditors there is little
or no foundation upon which to base
decision.
"The most logical solution OF this
problem Is cooperation on the part of
exporters in considering the matter care.
