BIG BARN FIRE FOLLOWS
THREATS AGAINST OWNER
Former Policeman In Coal Strike
Field Loses Heavily From
Blaze.

Fire, believed to have been of in
cendiary origin, destroyed the large
barn on the Frank Shaffer farm early
Saturday. Over 1000 bushels of oats,
large amount of other grain and
numerous farming implements, two
horses, six hogs and two autos were
lost. The police are investigating
along the lines alleged numerous
threats having been made the past
few weeks that the barn would be
burned.
Shatfer served as a coal and iron
policeman during the strike in the
Somerset field and it is said that
while acting in this capacity he re-
ceived numerous threats that his
house and barn would be destroyed if
he did not leave the work. The loss
is placed at $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.

BIG PROFITS IN FRUIT
CROP THIS SEASON
Orchardists in West Virginia
and Maryland Belt Will Get
About S2.24O.O0O.

Receipts from the sale Of apples and
peaches from the belt extending from
Romney and Keyser, W. Va, to Han
cock, Martinsburg and Harper's Fer
ry, will bring the growers at least
1920, geo for this years crop, it is
estimated.
Shipment of the fruit over both
railroads increased to daily average
of about SO carloads each last week,
and the movement will likely reach
100 cars per day at the height, begin
ming about the middle of this month
and continuing unit! early winter.
Several orchardists of the vicinity
of North Mountain and Martinshurg
are experiencing difficulty in securing
labor and are importing workers from
Baltimore at $3.50 per day and board,
when available. On the orchards be-
tween Keyser and Romney, however,
fruit pickers are more plentiful, it is
stated,
Export shipment of the Ben Davis
and Jonathan apple has begun at
prices ranging from SO to IS barrel,
while the York Imperials, Grimes
Golden variety are marketing at East
ern points at SO and 81 a barrel.
Some orchardists are paying their
help at either straight daily wage
or at Is cents a barrel.
1t is claimed that a widowed moth
er of six children made a record by
picking 50 barrels in one day, while
a man picked So barrels, in the Rom
ney belt, recently.
While much of the fruit is being
shipped directly to the Eastern and
Western markets, quite a large
amount is being put into cold storage
for winter marketing.
Orchard owners state that the sup
ply of empty refrigerator cars on
both railroads is adequate and that
the service is splendid.

1924 AUTO TAGS WILL COST
ABOUT HALF OLD RATE
If Gasoline Revenue Exceeds
Present Estimate, Motor
Owners Will Benefit

The license tax on automobiles next
year will be about 30 cents a horse
power, State Roads Chairman John
N. Mackall said yesterday. 1t is now
GO cents per horsepower.
Mr.. Mackall is compiling a state
ment of the receipts from the license
tax and from the one-cent tax on
gasoline for presentatation to Gov
ernor Richie. After it is seen Just
how much the one-cent tax produced
in the fiscal year closed October l
and how much came into the State
treasury from the automobile license
tax, the Governor will issue a proc
lamation stating the cost Of the
license tags next year.
This rate will be based on the
amount Of money that can be relied
on for next year from gasoline tax,
which, beginning January l next, will
be increased to two cents a gallon.
With the gasoline tax at two cents
and the license tax at 80 cents a
horsepower, each method of taxation
will produce half the money needed
for State highway and maintenance.
Under the law, providing for a
gasoline tax, the fixing of the rate
for the license tax devoives on the
Governor. He is to fix a rate that
will produce enough money to keep
up the road fund If the two-cent
rate on gasoline produces more than
is now estimated, the horsepower
rate again can be reduced.

heretofore has had no security against the inroads of the. big canners if the latter chose to invade his field. The only possible point on winch the reservation system may be charged with abetting monopoly is the ruling which gives the Bureau of Fisheries the right to prohibit the establishment of new cannel- ies at points where further fishing would en- danger the supply. This ruling is, in any case, the same as would have to be granted by any effective law that Congress mi ght enact. There must be means of limiting the fishing in waters threatening with dep.eton. The smaller canner and the fox-farmer benefit directly by this. It happens, however, that the present reservation system IS a merely temporary one, made necessary by the i'm mediate and vital need of saving the salmon No blanket law will serve the purpose, and the nnumerable special ones that would do so could not be got through Congress in as many years The salmon must be saved, here and now How? The reservation system IS the answer It is devise for an emergency while permanent legislation can be enacted. If anyone has to suffer temporary restriction, it is only that his permanent supply may be assured.
 Mr. Sutherland is making a loud noise about nOtl1nSo It IS grandsland l)lay deSlShe" loi political effect upon the fox-farmers and fish ermcn of the coast. No one will benefit from thc reservation system more than they None will suffer more than they if the "free and open fishing' advocated by MT. Sutherland were permitted and the salmon were extern mated Of that danger the foX-farmers have good reason to be anxious. Of any consider able cutting off of their supply of salmon for fox-feed by the Bureau of Fisheries they roed have no worry, as Mr. Sutherland learned from inquiry Unrestricted fishing IS the only thing foXfarmers need to fear.

UNITED STATES TRADE WITH CANADA

Often it is claimed by free traders that protective tariff will injure if not destroy our trade with foreign countries, because "no nation can buy unless it sells' It is claimed bv the theorist that an adequate protective tariff (called 'Fhigh' by the enemies of pro tection) will make it impossible for the United States to sell to foreign countries m any large mcas71rc because foreign countries cannot sell to us; they are blocked by the protective tariff.
 If this is a general truth, then it must apply to any and all foreign countries with winch we trade Let us apply 1t to Canada.
 The Fordney- -McCumber protective tarltf has been in operation about three months or less.
 In October, 1922, Canada imported from the United States about $42900,0O0 in mcr- chandise; in October, 1921, Canada imported from the United States about $423OO,OOO in merchandise This was more in October, 1922, under protective tariff than in October, 1921, under low tariff called free trade
 In October 1922, Canada exported to the United States more than $32, ,8OOOOO in mer- chandisc: in October 1921, it exported about $20, ,OOO in merchandise Canada exported to the United States more merchandise under protection than under free trade.
 In other words, our trade with Canada was greater under protection than under free trade. This demonstrates that protection does not interfere with foreign trade, and that 1t IS not true that our export trade will be rulned by protection because foreign countries can not sell us by reason of a "tariff wall.
 Another free trade theory exploded!
